Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked at a certain spot on the drone's screen.
On the screen, a sports car was speeding away.
Three cars were hot on its tail.
It wasn't strange that the car was being chased. What was important was that the car being chased was Vanessa's.
Luke had already entered Vanessa's car into his database after meeting her that night.
Looking at the three cars chasing Vanessa on the screen for a moment, he smiled. "Interesting." He then turned the wheel and drove in that direction.
Vanessa was quite bummed too.
Her luck hadn't been very good in the last few months.
After leaving New York, she had wandered around many cities in America, looking for opportunities to make money again. But as time went on, her partners had left for other reasons, and she could only split up.
She tried several times to get some money on her own, but she always failed on the verge of success.
Helpless, she found an opportunity to go from America to Mexico, and then back to Rio.
Now, she could only make some money by racing underground once in a while.
Her life was still pretty good compared to most people in Brazil, but it was nothing compared to what she used to be.
Two days ago, an old acquaintance whom she had met while smuggling in Mexico had asked her to do business with him.
She hadn't been having a good time lately, so she had readily agreed.
It wasn't until later that she learned that it was a deal worth more than a hundred million dollars.
The price was that they would have to face Hernan Reyes, the city's top bigshot.
But the power of money was boundless.
Hearing about the hundred million dollars, she couldn't stay calm and quit, so she joined the team in the end.
Since Vanessa was a local and had been in the underground car market for a long time, she had been tasked with scouting out the situation.
God knew what had gone wrong. She had only just left home today, and the FBI had already set their eyes on her again.
Cursing inwardly, Vanessa quickly turned the car onto the street.
But looking at the situation on the street up ahead, she couldn't help but shout, "Are you serious? Damn it! "
In front of her was a tightly blocked street. There was no way to get past the car accident up ahead.
As for the path behind her, the three FBI cars didn't give her any chance to pass through.
Gritting her teeth, she got out of the car and ran into an alley on the side.
The truth was that she was seriously lacking in stamina compared to her incredible racing skills.
She, who loved to look beautiful, was still wearing high heels, which affected her speed of escape.
She could vaguely hear the sound of a car braking behind her. The FBI had arrived, and she had only run ten meters into the alley.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that there was no path in front of her.
Could it be that his bad luck had gotten even worse? Despair filled her heart.
"Hi, Miss Vanessa, we meet again. Are you doing a morning jog? "A voice came from high up beside her.
Vanessa was taken aback and turned to look.
A head popped over the wall and looked at her with a smile. It was none other than Luke.
"You …" She didn't know what to say.
Luke, however, glanced behind her. "Someone seems to be looking for you. Are you sure you don't want to hide?"
Vanessa turned her head to look. She hadn't seen anyone yet, but she could already hear the rapid footsteps approaching.
She glared at him. "Where are you going to hide?"
Luke asked, "Do you need my help?"
Vanessa gritted her teeth. "Yes."
She had been tricked by Luke in New York. She knew that this young officer wasn't serious, but he had let her off.
Also … well, barbecued pork was pretty good.
Luke chuckled. "As you wish, beautiful lady!"
He then extended his hand. Vanessa grabbed it, and felt like she was flying.
A few seconds later, three FBI agents in tactical vests rushed in. The bald, brawny man in the lead was surprised. "Where did she go?"
The two men next to him looked around for a moment, before they both shook their heads. "There's no way out."
The brawny bald man scratched his head. "What the hell? Can this woman fly?"
When he asked that question, Vanessa didn't feel like she was flying at all. She simply felt that she had to wash her hair and shower when she got back.
Holding Luke tightly with her limbs, she felt herself pass through the narrow gaps between the buildings. In less than ten seconds, she reached the road on the side.
Luke stopped and said, "Okay, Miss Vanessa, do you need to get your sports car back now?"
Vanessa got off his back and patted her hair to make sure that there were no cobwebs on it. She said, "I can't take the car back. If I take it out again, they'll definitely come after me."
Luke said with a smile, "Do you need a ride?"
Vanessa stopped what she was doing and stared at him for a few seconds, before she nodded. "Okay."
A moment later, Vanessa, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked casually, "What's wrong with the car? Did you rob someone with it? "
Luke shrugged. "To save someone."
Vanessa was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to answer so quickly. "Your friend?"
Luke said, "A personal job."
Lost for words for a moment, Vanessa shook her head and chuckled. "I should've realized that you're not a serious officer."
Luke didn't think much of it. "If I were a serious officer, wouldn't you be in jail right now?"
Vanessa was lost for words.
"Were you following me?" she suddenly asked.
Luke chuckled. "No, I wasn't."
Vanessa didn't believe him.
In a major city with a population of millions, it was very unlikely that they would run into each other twice in just a few days.
Noticing her expression, Luke shrugged. "I'm following Hernan Reyes."
Vanessa was surprised. "What?"
Luke said, "To put it simply, he and I are involved in certain matters, so I investigated him in passing."
"And?" Vanessa subconsciously asked.
Luke smiled but didn't say anything.
Vanessa immediately understood.
Whether or not there was "and", it was a secret.
Just like how she and her new partner had targeted Hernan, it was also a secret.
Dropping the topic, Luke asked something else, "How have you been in the last few months? Are you happy? "
Vanessa's face darkened. Why did he have to bring up such a terrible topic?
Looking at her face, Luke nodded, deep in thought. "It seems that you haven't been doing very well."
Vanessa snorted and glanced at him with her enchanting eyes again.
Luke stopped the car with a smile. "We're here."
Vanessa went to open the car door, only to hear him say, "Wait, let's play a few rounds of cards."
She looked at the poker card in his hand in astonishment. "Excuse me?"
"Excuse me? Did I hear wrongly just now? "
Luke took off his sunglasses and smiled at her brilliantly. "I'm a fortune-teller. Let's play two sets of blackjack, and I'll know how your luck will be."
Looking at his icy blue eyes, she seemed to be in a trance, and suddenly forgot what she was going to say.
