The cause was very simple. It was just that Luke and Selina's lifestyle was different from that of ordinary people.
Also, to prevent random people from observing his yard, and to prevent his house from being directly exposed to gunmen, Luke had specially built a 1.8-meter-high wall around the yard, as well as hidden cameras on the decorative sculptures on the wall.
That way, the gunmen wouldn't be able to open fire on the house from the side of the road, and would be targeted by Luke's surveillance cameras if they lingered around the yard.
That was in line with his and Selina's profession.
But Karen, who was bored, told her husband that she suspected that Luke had built the wall as a cover.
Perhaps the two of them were criminals engaged in illegal activities, such as Breaking Bad.
Even if it wasn't as exaggerated as in the TV series, Luke and Selina might be planting some weeds in their basement to generate income.
Luke noticed through the surveillance cameras that Karen had been loitering around his house for a while, so he tracked her back.
It was too easy for a long-distance surveillance device to deal with a couple who had no professional knowledge. Luke easily figured out Ms. Karen's weird train of thought.
Feeling helpless and amused, he still invited Jeff and Karen to the backyard for a barbecue session.
After telling the suspicious Ms. Karen that Selina and he were cousins, the meticulous interior designer finally gave up on her suspicions about the placement of the daily necessities in the house.
As a woman who had been married for many years and was also a very professional interior designer, Karen was all too familiar with the way things were arranged between couples.
Luke and Selina's personal belongings weren't mixed together, which almost aroused her suspicions again.
When they talked about work, Luke pulled Jeff aside and said, "Selina and I are sensitive about our work. You know, if someone finds out, they'll spread the news in the entire community, which will be very troublesome for us. "
Jeff couldn't help but look at his wife.
Luke smiled. "No, Karen isn't keen on spreading the news, but can she keep it a secret from Meg?"
Jeff quickly shook his head.
Meg was a busybody who wanted to pry into all sorts of inexplicable information. Karen wouldn't be able to resist her.
Luke patted Jeff's shoulder. "I haven't participated in community activities much because of people like Meg. I hate women like her who make trouble out of nothing. As her neighbor, I think you can understand this better. "
Jeff looked conflicted, but he still nodded in agreement.
Even in his good-natured way, he was sometimes tempted to box Meg's ears.
After the barbie Q, Jeff talked to his wife, Karen, and the housewife stopped being suspicious of Luke and Selina.
Having seen the luxurious massage tub in the backyard with her own eyes, Karen could be considered an interior decorator. Naturally, she knew why Luke had built a fence.
When using such a good thing in their own backyard, most people would choose to relax without a single stitch of clothing on.
Building a wall was also a reasonable choice. Otherwise, if Meg saw it, she would definitely stand there and point at it, and then turn around to talk nonsense.
Selina sighed. "In any case, it's best that Meg and her husband are gone. Meg's husband, Danny, wasn't a good person either. Whenever he saw a woman, he would hit on her in a self-righteous manner. As a middle-aged, balding, ordinary married uncle, where does he get such courage? "
Luke chuckled. "You know that if you don't move, you'll be lying in one place forever. Only by working hard can you have a chance to cheat. With his looks, do you really think that a beautiful woman will throw herself at him? "
Selina glanced at Luke and said, "That's true. If you're handsome, people will always throw themselves at you."
Noticing the look in her eyes, Luke nodded calmly and said, "I'm relying on my own strength, understand? However, I can't deny the fact that being handsome is also one of my strengths. "
Selina: "Shut up!"
They chatted on the way home.
In the afternoon, they continued with their training as usual.
After finishing Selina's combat training, Luke, who was in the shower, looked at Jeff and his new neighbor's house inexplicably.
Selina, who came out of the bathroom a little later, asked curiously, "What's wrong? You can't be reluctant to part with the woman in the white dress, can you? She has a husband. You can give up now. "
Luke said helplessly, "Use your professional knowledge to recall the two new neighbors, alright?"
Selina frowned and thought for a moment. "It's only her long legs that are more eye-catching, right? Maybe she's a sporty girl, and the muscles in her legs can only be maintained through long-term professional training. However, they're far from my level. "
Luke smiled. "Yes, but this level of muscle is enough for most combat and tactical moves, isn't it?"
Selina's eyes widened. "Are you saying that they're professionals?"
The so-called professionals were, of course, police and military agents like Luke and Selina, and security mercenaries and assassins were another.
Luke nodded and thought for a moment. "Let's go to Jeff's place and see what they know about the new neighbors."
As a nice guy and a professional in the HR department of a major company, Jeff and his paranoid wife, Karen, were the people in the community who knew the neighbors best.
The other couple was the annoying Meg and Danny.
Selina nodded and reminded them, "This is our first visit. We should bring some gifts, right?"
Luke said, "Give us some of your desserts. I'll go get the box."
Selina hesitated. "Can't you give them some handicrafts? The gun models you made should work, too, right? "
"Jeff's twin daughters are in middle school. Do you think it's appropriate to give them gun models?" Luke rolled his eyes.
Also, the so-called models were created by Tony Stark's abilities. They were experimental products for the formal design, and couldn't be given away at all.
"Alright, I'll give you a big meal tonight, alright?" said Luke.
"Deal." Selina immediately changed her attitude.
Luke was lost for words, feeling that he had lost to a certain glutton.
Ten minutes later, they rang the doorbell at Jeff's place.
A moment later, Karen said, "Ah, please take a seat. We have a lot of neighbors here, so make yourself at home … Ah, you?"
Looking at Karen, whose mouth was wide open and who seemed to be stunned, Luke said with a smile, "Good afternoon, Karen. It's been a long time since I talked to Jeff. Did I interrupt your time together?"
