"You're also a cop, why wouldn't he want to talk to you?"

Luke recalled the situation when the two were talking, "First, he doesn't trust me, nor does he completely believe what I just said about the FBI, and he hasn't made up his mind about whether to cooperate with the police.

Second, he can't talk about cooperation in front of his underlings, if he wants to cooperate, he would contact you privately.

Third, if he is indeed the mastermind behind the campus shooting, he has no need to cooperate with the police."

"Our main purpose for coming here was to test his attitude. Just wait and see what he does next?"

After some thought, Xiao Hei finally understood, "Do you think Pike is the behind-the-scenes planner of the shooting?"

"The key here lies with FBI Agent Fannie. If Pike really wanted to kill someone with such extreme measures, he would surely have no choice but to eliminate that person, it's too easy for him to kill a student.

If he wants to carry out retaliation on campus, then the reason must be to take advantage of the chaos to kill FBI agent Fannie.

Besides, judging from the underling we caught last night, even if Pike is not the mastermind, he should still be related to the case and in possession of clues we are not aware of."

Xiao Hei nodded, "You're right, that's what I think too."

The two drove off, only to notice several cars coming from the opposite direction; he recognized one of the cars' license plates—it belonged to FBI Agent Anthony's car.

"Turn around up ahead?"

"What's happened?"

"The cars that just passed by are FBI."

Xiao Hei looked surprised, "What are they going to do? Could they really be about to take down Pike?"

After thinking, Luke said, "Taking him down is unlikely, but after an FBI agent's death with gang involvement, they're definitely going to act."

Gangs in America rarely clash directly with the police or the FBI, nor do they dare to kill officers because doing so would invite retaliation and the cost would be extremely painful.

As Luke just said, it doesn't matter whether it was Pike or not; the FBI doesn't have the real perpetrator yet and needs an outlet.

Pike being involved and refusing to assist the investigation while priding himself on being the boss, if the FBI doesn't move against you, then whom?

Xiao Hei made a U-turn and they returned to the apartment where Pike resided.

A few Chevrolets were parked near the apartment, Anthony and others got out of the car wearing FBI-marked bulletproof vests, and some little punks from the gang were so scared they ran back to the apartment and tightly closed the front door.

"Hey, Anthony, what are you up to?" Luke approached to say hello.

"Doing what you want to do but don't dare to," Anthony responded while checking his rifle and asked, "How did it go?"

"Not so good? He's got quite the big boss aura."

"Hmm, I heard you even get frisked at the door, did they touch you?"

Luke snorted, "No one can take my gun, not even the Great Commander."

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, it's just that you're not up to it, now it's our turn." Anthony said, then received a megaphone from his subordinate, "Those inside, listen up, you're surrounded by the FBI.

You have one minute to come out immediately, no weapons, no provocative actions, hands on your head, and stand by the wall obediently, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Anthony repeated the announcement, but the apartment remained silent and calm.

Anthony tossed aside the megaphone and told his men, "Prepare to implement Plan B."

Luke asked, "Need help?"

"Of course, help maintain order around the apartment, thank you." After speaking, Anthony gathered more than a dozen of his men for the final arrangement.

"Dinglingling…" Xiao Hei's phone rang.

He glanced at it and quickly walked over to Luke, "It's Pike's number."

"Hang up."

"Why? He might want to cooperate with us."

"Whether he wants to cooperate I don't know, but he definitely wants the FBI to stop their action. Do you have a way to stop Anthony?

If he wants to cooperate, he still has to survive the ordeal first." Luke finished talking and, as if he remembered something, looked up at the upper floors of the apartment, "Follow me."

Xiao Hei was confused, "Where to?"

…

At the bottom of the apartment building, the FBI made final preparations, then, at Anthony's command, they began their assault.

"Bang bang bang!" The apartment door was quickly breached by the battering ram.

The FBI threw a few stun grenades inside.

"Bang bang bang." After the explosions, a pair of heavily armed FBI agents stormed into the building.

"FBI!"

"Nobody move!"

With well-equipped weapons and thorough training, the FBI encountered little resistance, with only a few scattered shots.

The FBI attacked from the bottom up; both the front and back doors were guarded, there were patrol officers around the apartment, and it was nearly impossible for the people inside the building to escape.

At that moment, the fire door on the side of the apartment's rooftop opened, and a specially made and very sturdy long wooden board with a layer of hard plastic was placed across to the apartment building opposite.

This wooden board was special, with added hard plastic, very sturdy, and even had fixed grooves at the bottom.

At this time, the bald Pike had lost the air of a boss and was crawling across the board towards the other apartment, cursing, "Those damn FBI, I @#￥%&…"

Pike was frustrated, but felt powerless against the FBI's aggressive attack.

The chance of winning a firefight was minuscule, and the risk of injury or death was high.

What's more, even if you win a shootout, what then? It would only lead to even more fierce retaliation from the FBI.

Stepping back, even if he himself dared to fight, would his underlings want to?

Luckily, Pike was smart enough to leave himself a way out. If he could make it to the other apartment, there would be a chance to escape.

Pike quickly crawled onto the adjacent apartment and let out a sigh of relief as he jumped onto the top of the building, "Finally out, you stupid XFBI, go eat shit."

Pike glanced back at the apartment that used to be his, feeling very complex emotions.

He didn't wait for his underlings who were following him and prepared to run down from the roof, the sooner he left, the better.

However, just as he opened the door to the rooftop, he saw two familiar faces, and his entire being was stunned.

"LAPD!"

Facing the dark muzzles, Pike quickly raised his hands, "Officer Luke, I've made up my mind, I'm willing to cooperate with the police."

"The wise decision, but before that hands on your head, face the wall." Luke instructed Xiao Hei at his side, "Search him."
