David asked, "What do you think is an appropriate share for us in Zhang's Construction Company?"

"I have some understanding of Zhang's Construction Company. Although the company isn't large, its operation seems to be going well. I'm not certain about the exact profits, but in just three years, the Zhang brothers have acquired property in Los Angeles.

This also shows they are optimistic about the company's development in Los Angeles.

We can take a 20% stake. If they think that's too high, my bottom line is 15%.

You take 10%, and I'll take 5%."

Although Luke is somewhat intimidating to the gang members, he belongs to the Robbery and Murder Department and doesn't have direct conflicts of interest with the gangs.

It's different for David; he's part of the Anti-Black and Drug Squad, specifically dealing with gang members, and he's primarily responsible for resolving the conflict between Jin Lang Construction Materials Company and the Zhang brothers.

Luke is more of a mediator, a figurehead. David mainly handles the situation.

Despite Luke's high position and reputation, local officials have more immediate authority than higher-ups in administration.

David thought for a moment, "Let's split it evenly; we take the same share."

Luke said, "I'm not just being polite; this matter still needs you to handle it."

David replied, "I'm not just being polite either. Without you, I wouldn't collaborate with them. Besides, your reputation is big. With you taking the lead, our identities might only appear in the company's shareholder list.

Jin Lang Construction Materials Company might back off voluntarily without me needing to show up.

You'll eventually become a high-ranking officer in the police force. Don't underestimate your influence; those gang members are shrewd."

Luke was pleased his old partner had such an understanding, and he didn't mince words, "OK, let's both take 10%. If the Zhang brothers are unwilling, then there's no need to cooperate."

David raised his glass, "You handle it; you plan, I'll execute, let's advance and retreat together."

"Cheers!"

The two had a bond forged in life-and-death situations. Being candid was enough once they reached an agreement; there was no need to probe further.

After the meal, the two continued to work on shotgun training.

Luke used another shotgun training card.

After a morning of training, Luke was already familiar with using a shotgun.

In the afternoon, it was time for practical exercises.

David took Luke to a constructed live-fire training range.

The area was sectioned off by walls, resembling a labyrinth. Each turn led to a different section with various targets: suspects, hostages, and pop-up targets, as realistically as possible.

David shook his head slightly and said to Luke, "Begin, rookie."

Luke put on protective goggles, saying, "Be careful not to get schooled by a rookie."

David laughed, "Haha, I'm looking forward to it."

Luke chambered shells into the shotgun and loaded a round; thus, the gun held eight rounds.

Additionally, the shotgun had a side shell holder with eight spare rounds, ready for loading.

"Start!"

David shouted, and Luke quickly entered the practical training area.

"Bang!" A shot hit a target.

Luke moved swiftly.

"Bang bang bang..."

Although it was Luke's first time using a shotgun in live practice, he had a good shooting foundation, pushing through smoothly.

After shooting all eight rounds, Luke hid behind cover to reload, loading rounds from the side shell holder into the gun, continuing the training.

"Bang bang..."

The training area had a total of fifteen targets. Luke fired fifteen shots, passing smoothly, with one bullet left in the chamber.

Luke unloaded the bullet and asked David on the side, "How was it?"

David shrugged, "Your aim is fine, but your pacing is off. A shotgun isn't used like that.

Watch me."

David took the gun from Luke, loaded shells, filled the side shell holder, and entered the training range.

"Bang bang bang."

David fired three consecutive shots, hitting three targets.

Luke observed from behind and noticed that after David fired three shots, he used cover to load two spare shells, bringing the gun's capacity back up to seven rounds.

Then, David advanced further, "Bang bang!"

He hit two more targets consecutively, then used cover again to load three shells.

Afterward, he continued advancing, "Bang bang bang bang."

This time, he fired four shots and then loaded three shells.

Quickly, he also completed the live-fire training, finishing five seconds faster than Luke. Don't underestimate those five seconds; they can decide life and death.

David tossed the shotgun back to Luke, "Did you notice the problem?"

"Yes, I shouldn't reload only when I'm out of shells."

"Exactly. You're used to handguns and rifles, where you switch magazines when out of bullets, but a shotgun is different. Bullets are loaded manually.

Reloading speed must be fast: hold the grip with your right hand, load shells with your left hand by feel, not sight.

Another point is not to wait until you've fired all the bullets before reloading, or you'll be passive.

The Benelli M4 only holds eight rounds; load shells after three or four shots when there's an appropriate opportunity. Never let the chamber hold fewer than four rounds.

Your shooting skills and combat awareness are fine; what you need to improve is reloading speed."

"Got it."

Next, Luke practiced rapid shell loading under David's guidance.

Luke enjoyed the feel of the shotgun and was highly interested in learning. Coupled with the training card benefits, his progress was rapid.

By evening,

when training ended, Luke was already comfortably using the shotgun, and his loading speed greatly increased.
