Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina asked, “How’s Claire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said with a smile, “She didn’t lose even a strand of hair. She even shot and injured a criminal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.” Selina didn’t say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire was under Gold Nugget’s protection, so she was completely safe, which was why Luke could calmly ride his bike over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he sounded relaxed, he still treasured his sister very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a busy day, Luke and Selina picked Claire up after work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the police academy didn’t require students to return to the school. After reporting to their instructors, they could go home and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two considerations for this step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, everybody had heard the rumor about the earthquake, so the students should be allowed to go home for a look after a busy day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, traffic was always congested in Los Angeles, and the school bus couldn’t pick up the students who were scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Lassad decisively told the students to return home and keep in touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there really was an emergency, the students could report to the nearest police department themselves, or they could directly contact the patrol officers and help maintain order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they picked Claire up, Karen came over and said that she wanted to hitch a ride and talk to Claire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire didn’t say anything, but looked at Luke. It was up to him. Luke simply told Karen to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They slowly drove home and went to wash up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire had an ensuite, so Karen naturally went to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they came out, dinner was already in the oven, and Luke and Selina were having drinks in the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an exhausting day, everybody was a little lazy to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina were in better shape, while Claire could be considered an old hand at training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen had been yelling all day while on duty, and after the first intense gunfight of her life, she fell asleep on the deck chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply had Claire put a thin towel over her, and the three of them moved further away to read the news and chat occasionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun gradually set and night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After napping for an hour, Karen woke up just in time for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a bit, everybody was in the mood to chat and eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main topic of conversation was what they had seen during the day. Both Karen and Claire were very worried about the upcoming earthquake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city was already in chaos before the earthquake; what was it going to be like if it happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t say much to comfort them. He simply reminded them to be careful after the earthquake happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, on no account should they rashly enter a danger zone before the earthquake stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, they couldn’t ignore their own safety just to save someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who would take advantage of the situation wouldn’t care about their good intentions; they would only focus on their youth and looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By nine o’clock, they had finished dessert and drinks after dinner, and the conversation finally came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Karen wanted to get her family to send a car to pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her driver told her that it would take him at least an hour to get there, given the chaos and heavy traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody was lost for words when they heard that. Didn’t that mean that Karen wouldn’t get home until midnight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke thought for a moment before he said, “I’ll send you back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned for a moment, Karen was secretly delighted and quickly nodded. “Okay.” She couldn’t help but steal a glance at Claire and Selina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She noticed that Selina didn’t seem to care at all. Claire gave her a disdainful look, but didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen secretly gave Claire a thumbs up and followed Luke to the garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a small scooter puttered out of the garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suspicious, Claire turned around and asked Selina, “Why does Luke have a motorbike like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the tablet in her hand, Selina replied casually, “That’s a Vespa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire was confused. “Huh? Is it famous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina raised her head. “Don’t you know that your brother likes Audrey Hepburn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire tilted her head and thought for a moment. “I think he mentioned it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “This Vespa scooter is the one that Audrey Hepburn rode in Roman Holiday. I don’t know where your brother got this antique, but he fixed it himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire was lost for words. Luke was actually a fan of Audrey Hepburn! Wait, that wasn’t right. She was already a grandmother by the time she passed away, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smacked her lips. “I thought Luke was interested in Karen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina chuckled. “Is Miss Karen interested in Luke?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire asked, “You can tell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina got up lazily, took off her T-shirt and shorts, and entered the spa. “I’m not blind. Too bad, she... Forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire also took off her T-shirt and shorts. She entered the spa and hugged Selina’s shoulders. “Tell me, what’s too bad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina turned on the tablet in her hand and activated the spa’s massage function. Water gushed over their exhausted bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed comfortably. “It’s a pity that she’s way not up to standard. Luke isn’t looking for a girlfriend for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire didn’t really care if Luke had a girlfriend, but was more interested in something else. “Won’t someone like Karen do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Claire’s point of view, Karen was pretty good. She graduated from a prestigious university, had good manners, and was also pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen did have some of the common failings of a rich young miss, such as being insensitive about spending money and saying things that inadvertently hurt the pride of the poor, but she didn’t deliberately look down on ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These shortcomings were also being gradually changed during her police academy training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Selina actually said that she was... not up to standard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two hands behind her head, Selina turned to look at the naughty monkey and smiled. “Someone got there before she did, and she’s far more qualified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire immediately realized that her speculation had been correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had a “female friend,” and Selina was saying that the woman was better than Karen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Claire’s expression, Selina patted her head. “Don’t think too much. Your brother is a ladykiller. There are a lot of girls who like him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire’s interest was piqued. “Who? He isn’t here, so tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina rolled her eyes and asked casually, “Right, has Luke ever said anything about my love life to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire subconsciously shook her head. “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke wouldn’t tell her about someone else’s private business, much less Selina’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina shrugged. “So, he’s never brought up anything about his love life; I have nothing to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire’s eyes widened. “You... so cunning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina chuckled. “Hehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1199,"2026-06-06T03:36:04.545Z",1,"novelbin.me","dc66f0c6ad8887d768a15c3f051f7f2dc6e7015c36c0b1e1f457652bec605e51","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-714","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-712",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
