US police: outlaws

Chapter 24: Letter of Recommendation for Promotion

"Welcome to Bryant's production: Everyone in Los Angeles."

Famous comedian Bryant said to the camera.

"Our guest today is Ethan Lee, the hero who has become known throughout Los Angeles these past few days. Welcome our good LA cop, Ethan Lee."

Li Yisen walked from backstage to in front of the screen with a slightly stiff smile.

"Hello everyone."

After the two introduced themselves and the host said some polite words, he started asking a bunch of random questions.

"Officer Ethan, why did you choose to stay behind alone that day? You clearly had a partner."

"Our top priority as police officers is to protect the safety of citizens, which is why I had Officer Evelyn take the ordinary people away."

"Aren't you afraid of dying? Those were five drug dealers armed with automatic weapons. Oh no, I forgot you were so confident that you would put all the drug dealers to rest in peace on the mountain. You know, the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles News said that it was impossible for an ordinary person to survive, let alone fight back. He initially thought you were doomed. What are your thoughts on that?"

Lee Esen tried hard to keep smiling.

"Maybe I'm not an ordinary person."

"Yeah, you're Superman, you can do things that ordinary people can't."

After the conversation, the host asked another troublesome question.

"Officer Ethan, what's your assessment of the county sheriff's headquarters' task assignment this time? The main investigation team was taken out, and now you, a patrol officer, have to step in and fix it."

Li Yisen didn't feel that the question was difficult for him; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to say what he had been told.

"This operation was planned by headquarters, and our patrols were also part of the plan. We were deployed to patrol in different areas as arranged, like a large net that left the prey and drug dealers nowhere to escape. Although the first step failed, the drug dealers still couldn't escape the net. This operation was flawed."

.....

The phone played the program like this, and Li Yisen sat in the bar watching his own interview, still lamenting how hypocritical he really was.

But it's really tempting. It's a deal: he helps restore the police department's reputation, and in return, he gets a letter of recommendation that allows him to take the Level 2 police officer qualification exam in one month.

如果顺利的话，也就是说他从1级警员升2级只需3个月，这速度超过9成9的警察了。

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. For example, a certain gang might hate you even more.

"Never mind, let's go dancing. There are still two days of vacation left."

After putting on makeup, Li Yisen started dancing on the dance floor. He came out today to have some fun. Being a policeman is quite stressful, and he can't stay on edge all the time.

Just as he was dancing and chatting with a red-haired beauty, a woman screamed from behind.

"A thief stole my bag."

Li Yisen turned his head and looked over. The next second, he grabbed the thief who was brushing past him and pinned him to the ground. The sound of his body hitting the floor was very loud.

Just then, a security guard quickly walked over.

"Hey, stop causing trouble."

The security guard grabbed Li Yisen's hand, giving the thief the opportunity to rush into the crowd, leaving Li Yisen helpless.

"That person was a thief, and you actually stopped me."

The security guard realized he might have made a mistake, but he still stubbornly insisted on his explanation.

"I had no idea the other person was a thief; I only saw you causing trouble. You are not welcome here; please leave."

The black-haired woman who had caught up retorted loudly.

"This gentleman was just helping me catch a thief, how could you do this to me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Bars don't welcome troublemakers like you."

The crowd around them, singing and dancing energetically, were also watching the show. Not one of them wanted to help. They were out having fun, not looking for trouble. This bar was owned by the local gang.

Lee Ethan, unable to bear it any longer, pulled out his police badge.

"I'm a police officer. I suspect you're an accomplice of the thief. Come with me now."

The security guards panicked when they heard it was the police. Although there were armed security guards in the bar, they dared not cause trouble with the police.

"No, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

The manager quickly arrived and calmed the situation down. As compensation, the bar charged the two of them for their meal that day and invited them to a private room where they were served several bottles of fine wine.

Inside the private room, Lee Ethan sized up the black-haired white woman and her best friend Lucy. Lucy was pretty, but the woman in front of him, named Fiona Hamilton, was even more beautiful.

She has a tall yet curvy figure, delicate features with a youthful innocence, and is estimated to be around 20 years old, or even a teenager. However, when we shook hands, her hands were very rough, as if she had been working hard for a long time.

"James Lee, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lucy chimed in.

"We should be thanking you, right, Fiona?"

"Thank u."

As Lee Ethan leaned more towards chatting with Fiona, Lucy, as his best friend, wisely stepped in to help. Her best friend was already struggling to support her family, so tonight she would introduce her to a tall, handsome, and righteous rich man.

That's right, Ethan Lee was out fishing tonight wearing a stolen Vacheron Constantin watch worth $1.6.

The three drank more and more, and even Ethan Lee got a little drunk. So, while Lucy claimed she had something to do and had to leave, but was actually watching from the side of the bar, Ethan Lee took Fiona to his house.

The house already had a surveillance and alarm system installed. The two of them hugged each other and rolled into the room, their clothes disappearing one by one.

Li Yisen lowered his head and felt the delicate touch that a young girl should have.

A roar erupted.

.....

"An unfamiliar ceiling."

Fiona Hamilton opened her eyes and was startled. When she looked out the window, she was even more stunned.

"I'm here! What time is it?"

"It's 7:30?"

Fiona quickly put on her trousers and clothes, leaving a trail of red blood.

When the girl arrived in the lobby, she found the man she had met the night before making breakfast.

"Fiona, you're awake. Why don't you have breakfast before you leave?"

The two of them were just using each other out of necessity, and they may never see each other again in the future.

The reason Lee Ethan was so polite was because the red on the bed was a first for America at 18, which was already quite rare.

The girl shook her head.

"No, I need to rush to cook breakfast for my family before going to work."

Starting work at 18?

It seems he didn't go to university.

Lee Ethan didn't say anything, which wasn't uncommon among America's lower classes.

"I'll drive you home."

"Need not."

Seeing that the other person said no and went out again, Li Yisen immediately chased after them.

"Hey, waiting for the bus takes forever..."

Lee Ethan was stunned, because the other person walked into a house where he often heard children's voices. He didn't usually interact with the neighbors, so he really didn't know that Fiona lived there.

"I xxxx".

Li Yisen cursed himself under his breath. Having sex with his neighbor, even just for one night, would cause trouble, and his neighbor's parents might even cause him trouble.

Just then, the door to the next room opened, and a 14-year-old boy came out.

"Hey Fiona, what brings you from the cop's house next door? You didn't cook breakfast today, everyone's probably going to go hungry."

"....."

Fiona turned and exchanged a glance with Ethan Lee.

"Hey James, didn't you cook breakfast? Could you share some with us?"

The boy asked in confusion.

"Who's James? Isn't the cop next door called Ethan Lee?"

"..."

Lee Esen gave a smile that wasn't awkward.

"sure."
