Help is reciprocal, and relationships are built over time, Luke would inevitably need to use his Fo Po Le connections sometimes.

Louise asked, "When are you leaving? We'll see you off."

"Come on, don't make it sound like a life-and-death separation. It's not like I'm not coming back. It'll be better if you focus on wrapping up the case. I'll visit by summer at the latest."

Amir's eyes twinkled as he guessed, "Are you married with kids now?"

"No, but I have a younger brother who's still in school, and he has something in common with you."

"Let me guess, is it being knowledgeable, a fast learner, or good-looking?"

Luke joked with a smile, "He's annoying."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Amir wasn't offended because if Luke really found his brother annoying, he wouldn't wait until summer to come back.

After finishing the first round, Luke treated everyone to the second round.

Just after settling the bill, a familiar voice echoed in his mind, "Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the 'Casino King Series Case,' reward 120 points."

Luke felt a surge of joy. It seems that solving cases not only within LAPD but also in Fo Po Le yields rewards, a delightful rest for him.

Luke began to review the cards he used in this case.

Among them, Luke used 2 Adventure Cards, 1 Footprint Identification Card, 1 Bullet-Proof Card, 1 Accuracy Card, 1 Detection Card.

In this series of cases, Luke used a total of 6 Function Cards.

Of these, only one Bullet-Proof Card was left, which must be restocked since it can save a life in crucial moments.

Only two Adventure Cards were left, they also need to be restocked.

Only three Accuracy Cards were left, they also need to be restocked.

The other cards don't need restocking for the time being.

This case awarded an additional 120 points, with 60 points remaining from before in the Detective System, totaling 180 points.

Bullet-Proof Card exchange, 30 points.

Adventure Card exchange, 20 points.

Accuracy Card exchange, 20 points.

Luke thought about it and exchanged for 2 Bullet-Proof Cards, 1 Adventure Card, and 1 Accuracy Card, spending a total of 100 points, leaving 80 points in the system for emergencies.

With the six cards Luke used this time, totaling exactly 120 points, it's as if he didn't earn a single point. He's looking forward to some surprises from the negotiations with Negan and Zhou Tiansheng.

Spending a long time with someone can make you sick of each other.

Truly at the time of parting, you remember the good in the other person.

Knowing Luke was leaving, colleagues who had been through thick and thin together were somewhat reluctant, and they poured him quite a bit of alcohol.

Luke returned home, dizzy and fell asleep, waking up the next day after 8 a.m.

Li Zhaofeng had already gone to work, leaving breakfast for Luke in the dining room: fried dough sticks, salted eggs, pickled vegetables, milk.

The salted eggs were home-made, and the fried dough sticks were fried by Luke's aunt.

While eating, Luke received a call from Negan, asking him to visit the Fo Po Le's New York office.

After breakfast, Luke packed up simply and set off.

He didn't drive but chose to take the subway. New York's subway system is more developed than Los Angeles's, making it more convenient and faster, whereas cars are more likely to get stuck in traffic.

Around nine, Luke arrived at the Fo Po Le New York office, first going to the Criminal Investigation Department office, but Michael, Louise, and Amir were not there.

Michael and Amir had gone to the hospital to interrogate Mo Shaohong.

Louise had gone to the New York Police Department since Zheng Lagong, after all, was an informant of the NYPD, and some matters needed to be communicated with them in advance.

Luke greeted other agents and went to Negan's office on the seventh floor.

Negan was in a good mood, seeing Luke and inviting him to sit on the sofa, even pouring him a cup of coffee.

Luke took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and smiled, "It seems that your talk with Zhou Tiansheng went well yesterday."

Negan nodded, "He is a smart man, he knows his greatest value and how to get the best return."

Luke asked, "What conditions did he propose?"

Negan lit a cigarette and took a puff, "He hopes to be granted bail now and to have medical parole after sentencing, but I refused.

I promised him that if he voluntarily handed over the illegal assets from online gambling, he could be sent to New York's Democratic Party exemplary prison to serve his sentence, which is the most coveted place for all American prisoners.

He still holds some 'legitimate income,' enough for him to live quite comfortably inside.

This is his best outcome."

"Sounds pretty good." Luke showed a curious look, "How much illegal assets did Zhou Tiansheng disclose?"

"He has assets totaling over a billion dollars, most of which are illegal gains. After being wanted by Southeast Asian countries, nearly a billion dollars of his assets were frozen. The remaining nearly 300 million dollars he hid, with 100 million dollars in a Swiss bank and nearly 200 million in the United States.

The assets hidden in the United States are not in cash, mostly fixed assets and collectibles, and these stolen goods need to be sold and handled, this task also falls to Fo Po Le."

Negan took out a document and handed it to Luke, "Here's a list of some assets to be auctioned, see if there's anything you need."

This was an asset list.

There were luxury cars, yachts, mansions, luxury items, and collectibles.

Each item had a starting price and a market price.

The most expensive was a yacht with a market price of about 30 million US Dollars, a starting price of 10 million US Dollars, and its pictures looked beautiful, quite suitable for sailing in Los Angeles, but this price was beyond Luke's means.
