"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Rhett walked into the restaurant courtyard.

The deputy beckoned, "Sit over here. I left a space for you. I thought you wouldn't come today."

Rhett smiled and sat next to him, "I heard the baked snails here are good. I've wanted to try them for a long time, but no one has invited me."

The deputy captain smiled and said, "It's simple. As long as you give our squadron more funds, we will invite you more often."

"Does your team have insufficient funds? It should be the most in the entire Detective Bureau, no, the entire Los Angeles Police Department.

It’s not a problem to eat here for a month.”

Luke picked up the wine glass and said, "Director, tell me what you want to eat next time and the address."

"That's right." Rhett took a sip of wine and joked to the deputy team aside, "Old man, learn from it."

The deputy team leader rolled his eyes with disdain.

It took a long time to eat French food, and everyone chatted while eating.

Luke's a la carte dishes include smoked salmon, mushroom soup, baked lobster, steak, goat's milk blueberry cheese, black tea, and whiskey.

After each person ordered, they also ordered three buffet dishes, and those who were not full could help themselves.

Jackson asked, "Chief, what do you think about the murder of Latifah Gallo?"

Rhett put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth, "Is this what you were talking about just now?"

"Yes, I think this incident is a tragedy and could have been avoided.

Latifah Gallo doesn’t need to die and Teresa Lewis doesn’t need to go to jail.”

Rhett shook his head, "I have a different view on this matter.

Some things that seem accidental are actually already destined.

The conflict between Latifah Gallo and Teresa Lewis is no longer just a day or two. It may have existed since the day Teresa Lewis was born.

The conflict has been laid for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks out.

What happened this time was just a trigger."

Jackson said, "What I mean is that if there is outside intervention and correct guidance, their mother-daughter relationship may be back on track."

Rhett smiled and looked at Luke aside, "What do you think?"

Because this guy is quite sensitive, Luke has not participated in the discussion. However, since Red has spoken, he has nothing to worry about, "I agree with what the director said.

Mother and daughter are both the closest people to each other and the people who hate each other the most. If we borrow the perspective of movies and TV dramas, this mother and daughter are in a fateful battle.

Even if you escape this time, there will be another time."

Jackson shook his head, "I don't really believe in fate, but I still think personal efforts are more important."

Luke took a sip of red wine and asked, "Do you know how Teresa Louise's biological father died?"

Jackson thought for a while, "It seems that he died in an accident."

Luke said, "I know his situation specifically.

Theresa Louis' biological father filed for divorce because he couldn't stand the control of his ex-wife.

At that time, Latifah Gallo was very angry and felt that her ex-husband had betrayed her. In order to retaliate against her ex-husband, she worked hard to obtain custody of her daughter.

Teresa Louise's biological father loved her very much and always wanted to regain custody of his daughter, but failed.

Soon after, Teresa Louise's biological father died in a traffic accident.

The death of her biological father was a great blow to Teresa Louise, and at the same time, it also planted the seeds of hatred.

Regardless of whether the death of Theresa Louis' biological father was related to Latifah Gallo, Theresa Louis would subconsciously blame Latifah Gallo.

Even if you suppress it now, it will explode one day.

This is why Teresa Lewis, the stepdaughter, will be so angry after Latifah Gallo filed for divorce from her current husband, Alec Wyatt.

She probably saw the shadow of her biological father in her stepfather.

She didn’t want things to happen again, and she felt that Latifah Gallo was responsible for all this, so she killed her.”

Xiao Hei lamented, "It's terrible. I don't care whether my daughter can become a talented person in the future. I just hope that she can grow up happily. I will do my best to create a relaxed environment for her."

Luke raised his glass, "Here's to you, my future father."

Rhett put his elbows on the table, crossed his hands, and said, "OK, the Eucalyptus thing is over, let's talk about something happy."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Do you want to give us bonuses?"

"It's not a bonus, but I believe it is more meaningful than a bonus. In view of the hard work of the 1st Squadron over the past year and its outstanding performance in the terrorist attacks, the police department decided to award a hero medal to all members of the 1st Squadron. In addition,

Some team members were promoted to one level of police rank."

"Wow..." The deputy patted his chest, "Looks like I have another medal on my chest. I feel like I should have collected all the medals from the Los Angeles Police Department."

Matthew looked forward to it, "Do I also have a medal?"

Rhett smiled and said, "If you don't want it, you can give it to me."

Matthew happily said, "No, of course I want it, it's my honor."

Luke suggested, "Guys, let's raise a glass to this terrible and wonderful day."

The deputy team raised their glasses, "Congratulations, you have understood the true meaning of life."

…

The next morning.

Daisy's house, bedroom.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully detecting the murder of a prison guard. The reward points are 60 points.

If the host catches the burglary suspect, he will be rewarded with 20 points."

Luke opened his eyes and yawned. The task this time was relatively simple and not dangerous. Luke did not use the function card, and there was no need to add new cards for the time being.

I saved my points first and didn’t bother to check the system.

The quilt tugged, Luke turned to look, and Daisy turned around. The quilt was only half covered, her curves were graceful, and a large area of ​​tight skin was exposed.

Luke looked at Daisy and thought of Lilith in his mind. Both women were beautiful, but they had different styles. Daisy's skin was wheat-colored, mature, independent, and capable of a professional woman.

Lilith has fair skin, a slender figure, and the elegance and arrogance of a European aristocratic woman.

Luke's attitude towards the two of them is also slightly different.

His relationship with Daisy is somewhere between a fling and a couple. Before, Luke also tried to take a step forward and confirm their relationship, but Daisy backed down.

If you don't advance, you will retreat. The current relationship between the two is more focused on being friends.

Luke also figured out that there was nothing wrong with being able to have sex without having to take responsibility.

The relationship between Luke and Lilith was more like a one-night stand. They just had some pleasant exchanges at a specific place and at a specific time. As for whether they can go further, it is not yet clear.

After coming to Los Angeles for a long time, Luke's mentality has also changed. The most important thing for a person is to be happy. Why do you think so much? Just take it one step at a time.

To put it bluntly, even if you want to be responsible, others may not appreciate it.

Luke reached out and patted Daisy's waist, "Lawyer Ellis, it's time to get up and work."

Daisy pushed Luke's hand away and yawned, "If you let me sleep for a while, your little dick will be nothing."

Luke and the Zhang brothers made an appointment to sign the equity transfer contract today.

After the two got up, they simply washed up and went to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.

Afterwards, the two drove to the Zhang Brothers Construction Company, a seven-story office building located in downtown Los Angeles.

After Luke got off the car, the Zhang brothers were already waiting in the parking lot.

Luke greeted the two brothers and introduced his lawyer Daisy.

The four of them did not go upstairs immediately. After waiting for a few minutes, David also arrived in a pickup truck.

This was the first time David met the Zhang brothers.

The Zhang brothers were very enthusiastic, but David was indifferent and had no intention of communicating too much with the two brothers.

The five of them went to the office building, and the Zhang brothers first took Luke and the three of them to visit the company.

In fact, there is not much to visit. The office of Zhang's Construction Company is not big and there are not many employees. It is only used to receive guests occasionally.

Zhang Jianguo invited Luke and others to the lounge and made a pot of Kung Fu tea.

Because they had already been negotiated before, the process of signing the contract went smoothly. Luke and David purchased 20% of the shares of Zhang Brothers Construction Company for US$200,000. After signing the contract, the contract was signed within ten working days.

One hundred thousand dollars was transferred to the company account.

In less than an hour, the signing was completed.

Luke and others wanted to leave, but were stopped by the Zhang brothers, who enthusiastically invited the three of them to have lunch together to discuss the future development of the company.

There were other matters at the law firm, so Daisy left first.

Luke and David were left behind by the Zhang brothers.
