Luke called Medellin.

The two have made reservations to have lunch at a restaurant in Washington tomorrow.

This is Luke's family restaurant, so Luke asked Uncle Chen to book the entire restaurant.

There was only Luke at the table that day at noon, so there would be no one else to disturb us.

Luke also called another person.

The two parties had a great time chatting.

That afternoon, Luke and Lilith arrived in Washington.

The next day, Luke and Lilith arrived at the restaurant early.

Not long after, a group of people in black suits arrived.

It's the Secret Service. Luke called former President Marshall yesterday.

Ask him to help make an appointment with the current president.

The President entered the restaurant only after the Secret Service had checked him.

Although the two had never met, they were very familiar with the ways of the upper class.

After a while of warm greetings, Medellin arrived in a hurry.

After both parties sat down, Medellin looked at Luke deeply and said nothing.

But Luke acted as if nothing had happened and just chatted with everyone else.

Finally, Medellin brought the topic to the case.

"Luke, what are you thinking about?"

Luke smiled slightly and did not answer Medellin's question, but looked at the president.

"Mr. President, are you clear about the specific problem that Ms. Medellin is asking you for help with?"

The President smiled and said:

"I don't know what the problem is. I just did a favor for my old friend and asked her to negotiate with the robbers and ensure the safety of the hostages."

It is obvious that those who can become president are not fools, and they can just pass on the blame with just one sentence.

In short, I don’t know. I just asked my friend to negotiate with the robbers to prevent the hostages from being harmed.

As for how she talked to the robbers, that was her own business, and the president would not interfere in the specific actions of a case.

So no matter what Medellin is involved in in the future, it has nothing to do with the president himself.

At least the president accomplished his mission of protecting the innocent hostages.

In the eyes of the masses who are unaware of the truth, he is a good president.

Luke nodded.

Then he turned to Medellin and said:

"I agree to your terms, but I have other requests."

Medellin was not surprised that Luke made other requests. As long as they could negotiate, she was sure she could convince Luke to give up the case.

Now everything is going in the right direction.

Luke pointed at Lilith.

"As for the shares, Lilith will purchase them in her personal name at a price 5% higher than the normal share price."

"Besides, you know my family's situation. Do you look down on me or my family with this little share?"

Medellin raised an eyebrow and looked at Luke who looked very proud.

"So, I ask you to abandon your plans for LS Petroleum. I want this company."

Medellin nodded.

This is what Luke should do. The 3.5% stake was originally used to test Luke.

Now he gave it to his subordinates without hesitation and asked him to complete the plan for LS Oil Company independently.

It seems that Luke also wants to prove his ability in the family.

Except for Qin's father Drake and Qin's youngest son, the rest of the second generation of the Qin family are very successful in the business field.

Of course, no one can say for sure about Old Man Qin’s problem now, because Medellin still can’t see through Old Man Qin.

Therefore, she believed that Luke should establish a capable image among the third generation of the Qin family.

The FBI is just a stepping stone for Luke to build up his network.

It's just that this case happened to be an opportunity.

Clearly, Luke seized the opportunity.

Medellin nodded to Luke immediately.

"I agree to your request on behalf of my boss."

Luke smiled and raised his glass.

“Thank you Mr. President for your witness and I wish you all a happy cooperation.”

Everyone raised their glasses.

Before leaving, Luke said to Medellin:

"Once all the formalities are completed, I will hand over the relevant documents of the case to Director Paxton."

Medellin smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, it will be done soon."

Back at the hotel, Luke called Mr. Qin.

After telling the old man about the matter, he didn't say anything. He just replied to Luke:

"Got it. You don't have to worry about the rest. I will arrange for someone to handle the affairs of LS Petroleum Company."

The next morning, the person sent by Medellin completed the equity handover procedures with Lilith.

Lilith also transferred a sum of money from California Investment Bank (Luke's family's bank, whose president is Luke's mother).

Even if the transaction is officially completed, there is no need to notify the board of directors because the shares do not exceed 5%.

After the share transaction was completed, Director Paxton called Luke.

"The attorney general signed a new commission, giving your department more powers."

Paxton didn't ask Luke the reason. He knew Luke's family background and called just to inform Luke that his earnings had arrived.

Luke also smiled and thanked him, and said to him:

"Chief, I have a case in my hands. I will hand him over, but this case must be sealed."

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Luke was still very grateful to Paxton for his trust in him.

Thanks aside, Paxton is indeed a veteran and doesn't ask any questions.

It’s safest not to know.

Anyway, whoever makes the request will sign the final document, and someone will take the blame.

But Luke has made a promise to Kate Beckett and Frasier, so the case has to be investigated in secret.

Just checking for robbers.

The case has been handed over, and Luke must find a reason to stay in New York for a while.

Lilith suddenly reported to him.

"Boss, there is a new situation at the bank."

Luke looked at Lilith, but Lilith brought a laptop computer, which was playing images captured by drones and other surveillance equipment at the bank entrance.

Lilith pointed to the photo of one of them and said:

"This person did not leave any surveillance footage when he entered the bank, but suddenly came out of the bank."

"Are you sure you weren't wearing disguises or makeup inside the bank?"

Lilith looked at Luke confidently and said:

"My human behavior analysis technology is already the most advanced in the world. Some habits and movements cannot be imitated."

"Everyone who entered the bank that day had a record of entering and leaving, except this person."

Luke nodded and asked Lilith while looking at the surveillance footage.

"Can you find this person's information?"

Lilith shook her head.

"But soon after he left, he got into a car parked near a bank. Although the license plate number was forged, the drone tracked their final destination."

Luke smiled as he watched the surveillance footage.

"It seems that the robbers are still smart. The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Lilith looked at Luke.

Luke explained it to her.

"The most important robber leader did not leave the bank, but hid inside the bank, and the other robbers mixed in with the hostages."

"Now that the bank has been unblocked, he can walk out of the bank openly."

Lilith asked Luke confused.

"So how did he live during these few days? He must have needed to eat, right?"

Luke nodded.

"Remember the 50 pizzas and water the robbers demanded?"

Lilith nodded. There was indeed a record in the case that the robbers asked the police for food and water.

The police also placed a bug inside, but the robbers discovered it.

Luke smiled and said to Lilith:

"The food and water were not given to the hostages at all, but were kept for himself."
