Chapter 362 Acting and Setup
Two girls crept out to the lake in their slippers. After looking around, they quickly took off their shorts and T-shirts.
They looked at each other and laughed quietly, but just as they were about to go into the water, Luke turned on his flashlight.
He didn’t shine it directly on them, but on the sand in front of them. “Alright, this is your only warning. If I catch you again, I’ll take you to Juliet.”
Both of the girls were startled.
Luke’s voice sounded unhurried and casual, and coupled with the flashlight which every teacher had when they went on patrol, the girls knew that they were busted.
Hearing what Luke said, the girls quickly put on their shorts and T-shirts and quickly ran
off.
Luke chuckled inwardly after they disappeared.
He had done that on purpose.
In middle school, he had seen many tragic scenes of the dean catching mischievous troublemakers in the act.
Luke had always wanted to try that, but since he had never wanted to be a teacher, he didn’t think he would have the chance.
Little did he expect that the police department would send him here to manage a bunch of students.
As a keen bystander, Luke had concluded when was the best time to catch students in the act.
It had to be when they were just about to make a mistake and before they fully succeeded. That halfway mark when students were trapped in their dilemma was the best.
After that fully deserved bit of mischief, Luke didn’t feel like sleeping. He simply locked his tent and started patrolling.
He didn’t need to check the campsite, as two teachers were on patrol duty every night.
He focused on the lake, where mishaps were more likely to happen.
Although the water was less than two meters deep, people could still drown, especially if they were short and were panicking.
After walking for several hundred meters, Luke trained the flashlight on a tree. “I’ll give you ten seconds to put your clothes back on. If I catch you again, I’ll take you to Juliet.”
With his keen ears, he could even hear two people putting their clothes on in a flurry behind the tree.
Actually, Luke was only bluffing.
He didn’t think it was necessary to turn the kids in.
He had graduated high school just a year ago, and knew that kids flushed with hormones wouldn’t learn their lesson even after they were reprimanded, since they couldn’t control themselves.
Luke then turned off his flashlight. “What are you waiting for? You want me to see your naked butts?”
There was rustling behind the tree, before a boy and a girl poked their heads out to look at him.
“What are you looking at? Go back to camp – I’ll be watching you until you enter your dorms.” Luke continued to scare them.
They lowered their heads and quickly ran back to camp.
Luke followed them and watched them return to their respective dorms before he resumed his patrol.

What energetic adolescents! Luke thought to himself.
After making two rounds of the lake, Luke caught five kids who were up to no good.
It wasn’t until four o’clock in the morning that Luke finally returned to his tent and got some rest.
On the second day, Luke finally saw what a typical day at camp was like.
His biggest impression was that it was noisy.
These ninth grade students were, to a large extent, still kids, and when they came together, it was bedlam.
Some were fighting, some were shouting, some were laughing, some were cursing, and some were looking for the teachers or calling for their comrades.
Luke decisively avoided them and kept his distance; he was grateful that daddy system hadn’t told him to become a teacher, otherwise he would definitely beat these brats up one by one.
Luke’s morning was noisy yet peaceful.
It was noisy in his ears, but peaceful in his heart.
But someone arrived to disrupt that peace in the afternoon.
Looking at the young man who got down from a Benz, Luke raised an eyebrow, impressed by how well-informed the guy was.
The young man looked around and found Luke enjoying the sun next to the lake.
He walked over to Luke and stretched out his hand with a smile. “Nice to see you, Detective Luke.”
Luke turned his head and nodded. “There’s no need to be so polite. We don’t exactly want to see each other, right, Mr. Lawyer Ellen?”
The man was none other than Ellen Shaw, who had always worked for the Elsworth family.
Ellen casually drew his hand back and said, “Alright. Detective Luke, you are indeed a straightforward man, so I’ll be straightforward as well. There’s a report which I hope you will be able to revoke.”
“Ellen, I have some understanding about what Mr. Dylan’s temperament is like. Half a year ago, an officer gave him a speeding ticket, and two months later, the officer’s leg was broken when a car lost control.” Luke chuckled.
Looking at Ellen, Luke continued, “A year ago, another officer arrested a young female for DUI. Three months later, a big drunkard struck him when he was on his way home, giving him a severe brain concussion. Before all that, the officer once stated that he saw a man in the driver’s seat, and Mr. Dylan was the only man in that race car apart from three
girls.”
Ellen said calmly, “Detective Luke, there are plenty such rumors about every celebrity in Los Angeles. So, why don’t we just talk terms?”
Luke was amused. “Ellen, I’m not like those two officers, you understand? You can’t threaten me with a car malfunction or a drunkard. If you’re so capable, why don’t you try your luck in Las Vegas? Elsworth is so good – I believe in your abilities.”
After a brief silence, Ellen threw an envelope to Luke.
Luke raised his laptop to block it.
The envelope fell on the ground, and a stack of one hundred-dollar bills spilled out.
Ellen stared blankly.
Luke, however, stood up and stepped forward. “Mr. Lawyer, you don’t have a good reputation. Now, take your attempt at a bribe and leave this camp. Right. Now!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand at Lily, who had been observing them at a distance.
With an unsightly expression on his face, Elsworth picked up the money on the ground and silently withdrew from the campsite.
Watching him leave, Luke glanced at a hidden camera in a tree not far away.
Ellen, who specialized in framing others, couldn’t have known that his every word and action, particularly his attempt at a bribe, had been captured on camera.
