However, this plane is not an airplane, but an airport bus.

After get off work, Luke drove to the streets near the community. The car parked on the side of the road and waited for a while. A blue airport bus drove over and stopped not far away.

Luke also got off the bus and stared at the passengers getting off the bus one after another.

The passengers were both men and women, many of whom were traveling. After getting off the bus, they waited beside the bus to pick up their luggage.

A middle-aged Asian man also got out of the car and looked around as if looking for someone.

"Dad." Luke greeted and stepped forward to greet him.

"Luke, you are so busy at work, you don't have to come to pick me up. I know your home address." Having said that, Li Zhaofeng was still very happy to see his son.

"I just finished my work this afternoon, let's go." Luke picked up his father's suitcase, dragged it to the side of the Mercedes-Benz G500 and put the luggage into the trunk.

Li Zhaofeng patted the black Mercedes-Benz and said with some envy, "This car has a lot of space and is half a head taller than me."

Most men like cars, and Li Zhaofeng is no exception. But at his age, there are too many places to spend money. Even if he has some savings, he is reluctant to buy a luxury car.

Luke suggested, "Dad, are you tired? If not, come and take a test drive."

Li Zhaofeng was a little moved, but also a little hesitant. He was really afraid of scratching such a good car.

Luke could see his father's thoughts and sat directly in the passenger compartment.

Li Zhaofeng also took the opportunity to sit in the cab and said excitedly, "The view in this car is really good." He adjusted his seat forward, and Luke was taller than him.

It was Li Zhaofeng's first time to drive such a high-end car and the operation of his car was somewhat different. After Luke gave a brief introduction, Li Zhaofeng slowly started the car.

Li Zhaofeng drove very slowly, as if he didn't dare to step on the accelerator, and Luke didn't rush him. He just wanted to get used to it.

At noon, Luke only ate one burrito and was a little hungry. "Dad, I just got off work and I don't have time to cook today. Let's go have barbecue!"

"Okay, do you want to call your brother?"

Luke didn't answer the call immediately. It wouldn't be a big problem if he called him Fatty or not. But if he called Fatty instead of Mom, it would be bad.

Luke said, "Okay, Fatty must be happy. I'll call mom and see if Fatty is at home."

Li Zhaofeng seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand, "Forget it? Today is too hasty. Let's invite them another day!"

The two drove directly to a barbecue restaurant near the community.

A barrel of draft beer, a platter of peanuts and edamame, one roasted lamb leg, two roasted lamb loins, twenty grilled skewers, and ten garlic grilled oysters.

These dishes are enough for two people. There is a small stove on the table that can be heated at any time. The two of them chat while eating.

Li Zhaofeng was a little thirsty, so he drank half a glass of beer before saying, "Two days ago, I saw on the news in Los Angeles that there was a shooting incident. Your director specially appointed you to be responsible for the investigation. How is the investigation going?

If you come to pick me up today, it won't delay the investigation, right?"

While peeling peanuts, Luke said, "The murderer of the supermarket shooting was caught at noon today. I guess you were on the plane at that time and didn't see it."

"Did you catch it?"

"Yes, I led the people to arrest him."

Li Zhaofeng quickly looked his son up and down, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. But I also shot, so I can rest for a few days. Finish the house purchase and then take you around Los Angeles."

Li Zhaofeng warned, "You have to be careful when doing things in the future. Bring more people. You are also a leader now. Don't always think about rushing forward."

Luke nodded, "You're right. Now I rarely take the lead when taking action.

Basically, I am responsible for commanding and dispatching on site.”

Li Zhaofeng asked, "What time will you go to work tomorrow?"

"Just arrive at nine o'clock, what's wrong?"

"I'm still a little worried about buying a house. I want to take a look at the villa before I pay the money." Although his son has decided to buy a villa, after all, it is worth millions. Li Zhaofeng still wants to help his son.

Keep an eye on things.

"Okay, let's leave early tomorrow." Naturally, Luke would not refuse his father's kindness. "What do you think is the right way to buy a house?"

Li Zhaofeng said, "I think your stock market returns are pretty good, so don't touch the money there for the time being. I will liquidate your other assets and then take out a loan to buy a house."

Your gains from the stock market can not only offset the interest on your mortgage, but also create some surplus. And if you need money urgently, you can also mortgage your stocks."

Luke nodded, he also thought this was a good idea, and then brought up the matter of liquidating assets, such as the gold coins worth hundreds of thousands of dollars placed under the fish tank. There was also the hundred thousand dollars that he had just picked up from the villa.

Li Zhaofeng is an accountant. How to file and pay taxes is his specialty. He can give Luke the most reasonable arrangement. It also saves Luke a lot of worry. Otherwise, not to mention spending money to hire an accountant, the issue of trust is also very important.

The arrival of Li Zhaofeng can make reasonable planning for Luke's property.

…

the next morning.

After Li Zhaofeng got up, he followed his son to look at a house in the Palisades community. He was still very curious about this villa that originally belonged to gambling king Zhou Tiancheng.

Los Angeles is much larger than New York and relies more heavily on cars. In order to facilitate Li Zhaofeng's travel, Luke asked him to drive a Mercedes-Benz.

Luke himself was riding a Harley. He hadn’t ridden one for a while, so it was fresh and refreshing.

After entering the Palisades community, Li Zhaofeng reduced his speed. The first thing he felt was that the community environment was very beautiful and the greening rate was extremely high.

Along the way, he also saw a lot of animals, whether they were wild or raised by the community.

From time to time, there are pedestrians who get up early for morning exercises on the roadside. Most of them are Chinese and white people, and occasionally Indians can be seen.

Luke led the way on his Harley. The motorcycle slowed down and stopped on the side of the road.

Li Zhaofeng also turned right and parked the car on the side of the road.

Luke took off his helmet, pointed to the courtyard on the right and said, "Dad, this is the villa."

Li Zhaofeng glanced around. The location of this villa was very good. Tall trees were planted around the yard. The branches and leaves obscured the buildings inside, so the privacy was very good.

The father and son entered the yard. It was a large area with a simple layout, green lawns, tall trees, and a wooden building.

Li Zhaofeng is very satisfied with everything else, except that the house is a bit dilapidated, but it will cost a lot of money to renovate or rebuild.

However, considering that the price of the villa is still very suitable, not to mention that the villa can be purchased at an ultra-low price of US$3 million, even if the house is appraised at US$9 million, it is not expensive.

Li Zhaofeng checked the average house price in this community and found that it was around US$10 million.

Zhou Tiancheng's villa is relatively good in this community in terms of area and location.

If the house is new, the price should be at least 10 million yuan.

That's $1 million cheaper, which is equivalent to the cost of building your own house.

Luke must live in this house. It is worthwhile to build a house that he likes even if it takes some thought and time.

Luke asked, "Dad, what do you think?"

Li Zhaofeng smiled and said, "That's right, prepare the money."

Luke also smiled and said, "OK, then I'll go to work, and I'll leave the preparations for buying a house to you."

Li Zhaofeng reminded, "Don't forget to make an appointment with your lawyer later."

"Understood." Luke got on his motorcycle and waved goodbye to his father.

Li Zhaofeng stood on the roadside and watched the Harley motorcycle go away, then looked at the Mercedes-Benz G500, and looked back at the tree-lined yard, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

It's not easy for my son to take this step. It can be regarded as crossing a class, right?

Luke's success is not just due to wealth, on the contrary, because he succeeded, wealth also followed.

Li Zhaofeng has been paying attention to the news in Los Angeles. Although the supermarket shooting was not complicated, because the suspect publicly broadcast the killing and the number of fatalities was large, the nature of the incident was very bad. This incident had a great impact on the United States and even the world.

Luke can become the specific person in charge and investigator of the case, which means a lot of things.

Li Zhaofeng knows very well that in this city he does not have to worry about being discriminated against, let alone being bullied by gang members.

Luke's current status can already have a great impact on the family.

The Chinese do not lack the acumen and diligence to make money, but what they lack is a relatively fair, safe and stable development environment.

And with Luke's influence in Los Angeles, even if he didn't take the initiative, no one would dare to come and ask for trouble.

To put it bluntly, if one day the Li family does not get along well in New York, they may come to Los Angeles to seek refuge with Luke.

Fortunately, there is no one in the Li family who is particularly good at plotting, and they have no similar ideas yet.

Li Zhaofeng never mentioned this thought to his family.

In his opinion, help should be mutual, and he should not create a group of people to drag his son down.

The best way should be that while the son can bring protection to the family, the family can also bring benefits to the son. This is a more stable model of getting along.

You can never let your son suffer.

…

Ward 307, Novis Hospital.

A white young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was lying on the hospital bed. His left wrist and left ankle were handcuffed to the hospital bed, and his right wrist and right ankle were wrapped in bandages. The shape was indescribably weird and even a little funny.

.

It is difficult to connect this childish-looking teenager with the heinous shooting suspect.

"Creak..." With a sound, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Luke and Jackson walked into the ward.

Brown Bryant glanced at the two of them without any reaction.

Luke took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, man, how are you recovering?"

Brown Bryant still did not respond.
