In the morning, the family sat at the dining table to have breakfast. The ingredients were all prepared in the refrigerator.

Marianne observed Locke, Jett, and Hannah, and saw that except for Locke, Jett and Hannah looked a little depressed.

She asked with concern: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Hannah was spreading peanut butter on bread and replied, "I don't like the smell of the room..."

Jet took a sip of milk, shrugged and replied: "The mattress is too soft! I have some insomnia..."

He asked again: "So, don't we all need to go to school today?"

Hannah's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Marianne expectantly.

Marianne replied: "Yes, but I have contacted your teachers respectively. They will send the content of today's class to your email. After breakfast, you will go back to your room to study by yourself..."

Jett and Hannah looked at each other at the same time, with smiles on their faces and high-fives.

"no problem……"

"But I might need to catch up on some sleep..."

Marianne glared at them helplessly, "I can't keep an eye on you all the time, so you can arrange your time reasonably, but you must promise that you will study today's course on your own..."

"I promise!"

"metoo!"

The two of them ate breakfast significantly faster. They finished the bread, eggs, and bacon on the plate in two or three times, and drank the milk in one gulp.

"I'm done eating. Let's go back to the room first!"

"Me too!"

Locke watched his younger siblings return to the room. If it had been before, he would have felt guilty because he had caused his family to be trapped here.

But with the change of mentality, although he will still feel guilty, he will not be as pretentious as before.

From another perspective, things are not that bad.

For example, it just gave these two guys, Jett and Hannah, the opportunity to skip class.

After the two little ones left, Marianne said to Locke again: "You seemed to have slept well last night..."

Locke naturally has no problem sleeping in strange places. He has slept among dead people.

Besides, he released it before going to bed, and the system had a great harvest, doubling his combat power, so he slept peacefully and had a good night's sleep.

Locke rolled up a piece of bacon with a fork, put it into his mouth, and replied: "Maybe it was because I was too nervous yesterday, so I slept well..."

Marian nodded and said: "That's good. Your mental state is indeed good. You shouldn't need to see a psychiatrist. Uh..."

She finally saw that Locke's mental state would not be affected by killing someone.

Locke glanced at Li Bo, who had been silent, and asked, "What about you? How did you sleep last night?"

He had noticed that his father looked a little haggard and hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.

Marian shrugged and replied: "I'm okay, your father has some insomnia..."

Li Bo put down his knife and fork, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Locke, have you ever thought about giving up the police career? Well, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the current situation of our family. But, as a father, I don't want your job to be in danger..."

"I don't want what happened yesterday to happen to you again. If that bullet really hits you, your mother and I will live with guilt for the rest of our lives..."

Marianne's expression became a little hesitant as she listened to Li Bo's words. It was obvious that they had already discussed this topic in private.

She said: "Locke, although I also want you to give up, I can feel your love for the police profession, and I have personally seen your growth after joining LAPD, so I support any decision you make! "

Locke also put down the tableware and said seriously: "Sorry, dad, I promise this will never happen again!"

Li Bo looked regretful after hearing Locke's answer. He nodded and said: "Okay, I respect your decision and will not bring up this topic again in the future. However, I hope you will be safe in the future and don't let yourself fall into In this kind of danger, remember your mother's words. If there is really a problem that cannot be solved, you can call your grandpa..."

Locke looked at Li Bo in surprise. He had clearly opposed this operation before, and he was very moved in his heart.

He nodded and said: "If necessary, I will..."

Li Bo smiled bitterly, "Actually, your mother almost put me to bed last night, but I think I should still ask you in person..."

Marian shrugged and said calmly: "I analyze it from a utilitarian perspective. This attack has officially brought you into the sight of the top management of the Lapd. Yesterday, you single-handedly killed all the terrorists and maintained the Lapd's reputation." Dignity and reputation, you have avenged the sacrificed police officer. You have almost a perfect start in lapd. Moreover, you saved Anna again yesterday. If you quit at this time, all the honors and connections you have gained in lapd will be turned into None, which is a pity. Regarding the risks to the police, you need to know that there are 9900 police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department and 70 police officers in the United States..."

Li Bo immediately complained: "Your mother is always so sensible!"

Locke gave Marian a thumbs up and flattered her: "So, mum is the leader of our family..."

He specifically said the word "leader" in Chinese.

Marianne immediately shook her head and said with an arrogant look: "Very good, this title has also been certified by Locke!"

Obviously, she had already learned this vocabulary from Li Bo.

Li Bo looked at Locke blankly, then couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, your mother is indeed the leader of our family!"

He also spoke Chinese.

After Marianne hesitated, she said seriously: "I talked to Anna on the phone this morning. Starting yesterday, LAPD and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) began to further arrest the remnants of the Copernicus organization based on FBI intelligence. It is expected that this arrest will The operation will last two days and our protection order will end..."

The last arrest of the Copernicus organization mainly targeted the management and some members who had committed illegal activities, so a number of fish slipped through the net.

For example, Carl Ripp, according to previous intelligence, had nothing to do with the Copernicus organization.

Locke never doubted Lapd's ability to act. During the investiture ceremony, the attack on him and Anna Davis, as well as the casualties of nearly ten police officers behind them, had a serious impact on Lapd's morale.

If lapd can't get this place back as soon as possible, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

It is foreseeable that this arrest operation will be completely different from the last time. There will definitely be casualties this time.

Well, of course it's the Copernicus organization.

Unfortunately, he couldn't participate.

Locke said: "I need to go out later..."

He planned to take the initiative and go to the roof of the building where the sniper was yesterday to take a look. He might not be able to find things that the police detective bureau and FBI could not find. He also wanted to meet his colleague for a while.

Marianne frowned, "What are you doing out at this time?"

Locke didn't want Marianne and Li Bo to worry, so he replied: "I have to go back to Wilshire to handle some work. Don't worry, everything will be fine. The remnants of the Copernicus organization have become homeless dogs, and the leader Johnny Dyson has already He is dead, and the other senior officials have long been arrested and thrown into prison..."

Li Bo glanced at Locke worriedly and warned: "No matter what, be careful!"

I don’t know if it was influenced by Locke speaking Chinese before, but he directly spoke Chinese this time.

Locke was stunned for a moment, and then replied in Chinese: "I know, by the way, Dad, do you know a Chinese medicine doctor in Chinatown?"

Li Bo couldn't care less about being happy and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable there?"

Locke shook his head and said: "No, I just suddenly wanted to experience acupuncture. I heard it is very magical..."

Li Bo nodded and said: "Yes, I will call later and ask which Chinese medicine clinic has acupuncture masters..."

Hearing the father and son communicating in Chinese, Marianne was dissatisfied and said: "Hey, are you so polite?"

Locke and Li Bo looked at each other and smiled, and Locke said: "Marian, I suggest you also learn Chinese!"

Marianne was speechless: "Do you think I haven't learned it? Chinese is too difficult! It is definitely the most difficult language to learn in the world..."

Locke said seriously: "Sometimes, if it is not convenient to communicate in English, we can speak Chinese. This is the advantage of our family!"

In addition to Marianne, the whole family, Jett and Hannah can also speak some simple Chinese.

Marianne understood instantly and nodded: "Okay, I will pick up Chinese again..."

Li Bo gave Locke a thumbs up and was very excited. It can be predicted that there will be more and more opportunities to speak Chinese at home in the future. This is the Chinese family atmosphere he has always dreamed of.

When Locke left, he handed his Beretta 92f to Marianne, "Although there are police protection outside, it's best to have a gun in your hand!"

Marian didn't answer, "Give it to your dad. I have a Glock G45 in my bag..."
