US police: outlaws

Chapter 40: The First 5-Star Skill

At 10 p.m., Li Yisen finally finished dealing with everything and left the police station. He had a day off tomorrow and didn't want to come back to deal with it again.

As for the source of the clues in the report, Ethan Lee only said that they were provided by a temporary informant.

In America, informants recruited by police officers must also be reported and registered. As one narcotics officer once said, unregistered informants are like time bombs; once they explode, they will destroy the case and yourself.

Of course, there are also those who don't need to report, such as temporary emergency informants who only provide extremely urgent information, and the police can pretend the informant didn't exist afterward.

Regarding the informant, the superintendent only gave one piece of advice and did not pursue the matter further.

"If the other party really doesn't intend to make a backup, you'd better not cooperate too much with your informant."

.

At the Li residence, Li Yisen had just finished showering and was lying on the sofa watching TV. With the case and his enemies over, he could finally sleep peacefully.

[Ding! A major human trafficking case has been solved, with two masterminds and 18 accomplices killed. A total of 160 victims have been rescued. Participation rate is 70%. A 5-star reward is being drawn from the mastermind's body.]

"5 stars?"

This was far beyond Li Yisen's expectations; it was a 5-star reward, while he thought it would be at most 4 stars.

However, it's understandable from the system description. The previous three-star and four-star victories were only temporary, taken by ICE. Now, they are truly taking down the human trafficking organization in Zecheng.

So that's what Clayton's skeleton looked like. I never would have guessed.

wrong.

Lee Ethan frowned. He had thought Eric Frederick was behind the case, given his illegitimate daughter's involvement, but now the system described Serena as the mastermind.

Forget it, it's better not to bother dealing with the real estate tycoon.

The other party lives in the city's most exclusive affluent area, where there are several times more police officers than in other communities, and they also have a security team comparable to the military, legally possessing automatic firearms. The members are either former soldiers or former police officers, and there are even former special forces soldiers. Only a fool would go and mess with them.

Li Yisen began testing the effects of the 5-star skill. First, he weighed himself and found that he had grown to 1.88 meters tall and weighed 97 kilograms, which was one-ninth heavier.

A hard punch to the steel plate only causes muscle and nerve pain, but there is surprisingly little pain in the bone, which is indeed a huge enhancement.

In an instant, a brilliant idea popped into my mind.

"If you jump from the third floor without dispersing the force, will you break a bone?"

In the end, Li Yisen did not actually jump from the third floor, which is 8 meters high; he only jumped from the second-floor balcony railing, which is about 5 meters high.

When I stood on the concrete, the intense pain I had imagined didn't occur; I only felt a slight numbness.

As expected of a five-star skill.

Just then, a woman's voice came.

"Ethan, what's going on?"

Ethan turned his head and saw Fiona, the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family.

The young girl, whose face was still in bud, wore a pretty black short dress that showed off her tall and graceful figure, and was holding a plate of food in her hand.

"I'm training, Fiona, what are you doing?"

"I was going to let you know to celebrate Sofia being able to find the pizza she made, but I kept it from you since she wasn't home."

"Oh, please come in."

Inside the room, Li Yisen ate while looking at the girl in front of him. She was thinner than he remembered. This older sister must have had a hard time finding her missing sister these past few days.

"How's work?"

"I resigned. After all, I took too much leave and I didn't feel like continuing to work."

"....."

The family of six has lost all income, with only their scumbag father receiving a small amount of welfare. Their future life is likely to be very difficult. Fortunately, they have a house, otherwise they would be homeless.

Even if you own a house, the 1.5% property tax per year is quite burdensome. Their house is valued at about $15, which amounts to about $2500 per year.

Fiona suddenly took out a piece of paper and wiped the man's mouth, which made Ethan realize something.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Fiona's eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you so much. If you hadn't found Sophia, I really wouldn't know what to do. Thank you, Ethan."

"You're welcome, it's my duty."

Being held tightly by the girl, Li Yisen was far from being oblivious to her charms.

Their heads drew closer and closer until they were touching.

No wonder Fiona came over in a sexy dress late at night, even though it was autumn.

The young woman, who was about to mature, had delicate and smooth features. At the age when she should have been naive (18 years old), society had smoothed out her rough edges, and she had long since become very open-minded.

That night, Li Yisen experienced passion and spice.

.

Around 5 a.m., Li Yisen was awakened by the noise of people getting up. He opened his eyes and saw Qianying getting dressed in front of him.

Her slender waist bent down, revealing a stunning silhouette of graceful curves, then she lifted her thighs to put on the decisive fabric.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Fiona spoke without the slightest bit of shyness.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Are you going back?"

"Okay, I need to go back and prepare breakfast."

Seeing that the other person was about to leave the room, Li Yisen finally asked that question.

"Can the economy hold up?"

Upon hearing this, Fiona's expression became excited.

"I had sex with you because I didn't dislike you and I was looking for someone to release my stress."

Seeing the flustered girl, Li Yisen had no choice but to try a different approach.

"I have a shop that I plan to turn into a bubble tea shop, and I'm looking for a partner. You don't need to put up any money; you just need to run it. If you're interested, come and give it a try. Anyway, if you don't come, I'll find someone else."

Fiona stared intently at the man, whose body still bore the marks of her recent madness—and so did she.

"Thank you for hiring me, boss."

After Qianying left, Li Yisen lay on the bed, lost in thought.

He is indeed considering putting the shop to use, otherwise he would still have to pay property fees and HOA fees (ownership fees) even if it's just sitting empty, which would be a considerable source of income.

Speaking of which, he also has to pay taxes on his $30 house and Hummer. Although he doesn't have to pay purchase tax or sales tax, he still has to pay for insurance, depreciation, and so on. $5 doesn't seem like enough to cover his expenses.

As a police officer, he is not legally allowed to run a bubble tea shop. However, after consulting with professionals, he was able to find alternative ways to collaborate with others, such as family and friends, as long as he reported it to the police station.
