Los Angeles Detective

Ino community.

A Mercedes-Benz G drove into the Yinuo community and drove to Linda's garage.

Luke got out of the car and saw his mother, Linda, standing in the yard.

"Hi, my handsome eldest son is finally back." Linda greeted him and kissed Luke on the cheek.

Luke laughed, "Dear Ms. Sullivan, you look younger and prettier than when I left. Has anyone pursued you lately?"

Linda shrugged, "Which one are you referring to?"

"Wow, do you want me to check it out for you?"

"No, you already checked it for me. I just told them that my son is a policeman... The phone was cleared the next day, super effective."

"Ms. Sullivan, I am sorry to have affected your happiness."

"With you and Jack by my side, my life is full and I am already very happy."

Luke smiled and put his arms around his mother's shoulders, "Let's go in."

"Wait, Jack is about to leave school." Linda looked towards the distance of the community road.

"Isn't he usually after school at this time?"

"Today is different, trust me, you will see a different Jack."

Although Luke was not too interested in the little fat man's change, he still waited outside with his mother.

After about a few minutes, a yellow school bus stopped in front of Linda's house, and the door opened.

A man with long blond hair, sunglasses, a crop top and a green skirt stepped off the bus.

Luke froze for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "fuck! What the hell are you doing?"

Linda smiled, and took out the phone from her pocket, "I told you, you will see a different Jack."

The little fat man posed sideways in a pose that he thought was very charming, "Am I pretty?"

Luke scratched his head, "If you want to go to Thailand, I can help you."

"travel?"

"No, you know what I'm talking about."

"Forget it, I just want to experience the life of a woman for a day, that's all."

Luke was a little disgusted, "You dress up like this and put on makeup, are you sure it's not your sexuality?"

"No, I'm normal. My favorite woman is still Maggie." The little fat man spread his hands and explained, "Our school is holding a 'Gender Swap Day' today. This is the school's arrangement, and I'm not alone. Most of the students wore clothes of the opposite sex."

Luke shook his head, "Your school is really boring."

"Crack..." Linda took out her phone and quickly took a few photos.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"I want to record this unforgettable moment. I have always wanted a daughter, and today this dream has finally come true."

"Mom, you didn't ask me to delete the photo without my permission."

"I reject.

I'm going to show it to your future wife too. "

"Maggie saw it."

"I didn't say Maggie."

The little fat man looked serious, "It must be Maggie."

"Maybe."

"definitely is."

Linda shrugged, "OK, we have a lover in our family."

"So, you're going to delete the photo, right?"

Linda smiled, "Don't even think about it, I have already thought about the gift you will give me when you get paid in the first month of work."

"Mom, how can you do this?"

"I can."

The little fat man had no choice but to look at Luke for help.

"Crack."

Luke also snapped a photo, "I want presents too."

"ah……

The little fat man yelled and ran back to the house quickly.

seven o'clock in the evening.

In the dining room.

After 'Miss Li' washed up and changed her clothes, she turned back into the little fat man she was before.

Luke found it much more pleasing to the eye and cuter. If it was still the same as before, Luke was not sure if he would be able to eat dinner.

The little fat man opened the chair and sat down, looking at the food on the table, "Wow, there are so many seafood, it is even more abundant than the cafeteria, brother, did you bring these back from the US Virgin Islands?"

"Most of them were caught by myself, and some were exchanged with other tourists."

The little fat man asked back, "Aren't you going to hunt for treasure? How can you have so much time for fishing?"

Luke had time to fish because he wanted to assist the FBI in investigating the case of a self-defense homicide on an uninhabited island. Of course, he didn't want to tell his mother and younger brother about it, and said perfunctorily, "There are some things to deal with, and it has been delayed for two days."

Luke looked at Linda, "Mom, why aren't grandpa and uncle here?"

"Your grandfather has something to do. Your uncle is on night shift today."

Luke shrugged, "Unfortunately, they have no luck.

Taste the fish I caught with my own hands. "

"It's the first time I've seen such a big lobster." The little fat man gestured with his forearm.

"I released the small ones directly." Luke didn't eat seafood, but put some stewed oxtail bones with potatoes in a public spoon. Seafood is a good thing to eat once in a while. He ate it almost every day in the U.S. Virgin Islands Seafood has long been tasteless, and now he wants to eat some home-cooked meals.

Seeing that her son likes to eat the dishes she cooked, Linda was also very happy, "I bought the oxtail in the morning and marinated it in red wine. How does it taste?"

"It was so good, I could finish the plate by myself."

Luke picked up the rum and clinked glasses with Linda, "Mom, thank you for the loving dinner.

This is the specialty rum of the U.S. Virgin Islands. How about a taste? "

Linda took a sip, "Not bad, it has a special fruity aroma, I like this taste very much."

The little fat man showed a curious look, "Can I have a taste?"

"No, this wine is not suitable for you yet." Luke shook his finger, "However, you can drink a little beer."

"Really?" The little fat man just tried it out, but he didn't expect Luke to agree.

In the past year, the little fat man's size has grown rapidly. Although he is not yet an adult, he is within a few centimeters of Luke, and his weight has even surpassed Luke. With this physique, Luke doesn't think there is any problem with him drinking.

As for the regulations in the United States that do not allow alcohol before the age of 21, Luke thinks it is a bit nonsense. At this age, drug use and promiscuity abound. Drinking beer is really nothing, let alone at home.

The little fat man opened a bottle of beer and excitedly clinked glasses with his mother and brother. This excitement was not only because of drinking, but more about the sense of participation.

Linda looked at the two sons with a smile on her face, and she pointed to Luke's lips, "Why are you hurt?"

Luke touched it, "Maybe I got angry, my lips are a little chapped, just drink more water."

The little fat man curled his lips, "Brother, are you sure you're on fire?"

"Any questions?"

"Although I have never been to the U.S. Virgin Islands, I also know that it is a tropical rainforest climate. The air is very humid, and it takes a lot of effort to start a fire, let alone get on fire." A bite is more convincing."

Linda picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and nodded, "Maybe it was bitten by a mermaid."

The little fat man said, "Could it be that the legend is true, that there is a mermaid guarding the treasure, wow, I'm so curious, is the mermaid beautiful?"

"You can see for yourself." Luke took out his phone and pulled out a few photos.

"Is there really a mermaid?" The little fat man was dubious, and took the phone, "My God, did you kill such a big crocodile?"

"Yes, the place where the treasure is hidden is in a cave, there are two roads, one road has crocodiles, and the other road has piranhas.

After I killed the crocodile, I found the treasure in the cave. "

The little fat man became interested, "Is there really a treasure? What are there?"

Luke said, "There are pottery, silver bricks, and gold bricks. This time the harvest is not bad."

The little fat man showed envy, "My God, brother, your life is so exciting, can you take me to go treasure hunting next time?"

Luke didn't answer, got up and said, "I brought you gifts."

While Luke got up to get the gift, Linda asked, "Is he changing the subject?"

The little fat man whispered, "So, there really are mermaids?"

Linda rolled her eyes. "Forget about mermaids. I mean women."

"You mean, my brother has a new woman?"

Linda nodded, "Luke looks like me, handsome, tall, and successful in his career. It's normal for women to like him."

fatty"……"

He felt that there was something wrong with this statement.

There are only three of them here, the elder brother is handsome and looks like his mother.

what about me?

Linda ignored her younger son and said to herself, "Why was he bitten? Is that mermaid swearing sovereignty?"

Luke returned to the dining table with two boxes. He didn't notice the small thoughts of the two. He handed one to Linda and the other to the little fat man, "See if you like it?"

Linda opened it and said in surprise, "It's such a big silver brick. This is the first time I've seen such a big piece of silver."

"This silver brick has a history of five hundred years, and it has a certain collection value. Of course, you can also melt it and make some favorite accessories."

The little fat man rubbed his hands, and opened his box expectantly, "Is this a horn? It's also inlaid with metal."

"That's right, this is a ceremonial horn from an Indian tribe five hundred years ago. It was only used on some important formal occasions, and its collection value is still higher than that of silver bricks."

The little fat man was full of joy, and carefully played with the horn, "Can I post it on Facebook?"

"Of course, it's yours." Luke said to Linda again, "I also brought back a few cases of local specialty rum, one for each of dad, grandpa, and uncle."

The little fat man asked, "You brought back so many things, isn't the shipping fee expensive?"

"I'm flying a private jet."

"Wow……"

The little fat man was even more envious.

...

noon the next day.

Donglaishun.

After eating seafood for a few days, Luke now wanted to eat something oily and appetizing, so he asked the Zhang brothers to eat copper pot shabu-shabu.

There is a small copper pot in front of each person, and the dishes are also very rich.

Hand-cut fresh mutton, fat beef, frozen tofu, vegetable platter, fungus platter, fried belly, donkey rolling, kebabs, and sesame seed cakes.

After Luke finished ordering, he smiled and said to the Zhang brothers, "Look at the menu, both of you, and add something. I'm treating you today. You're welcome."

Zhang Jianguo said, "Enough, enough, I won't be able to eat any more."

"Mr. Li, I've let you spend the money." Zhang Jianmin moved a box of Wuliangye, opened it, and poured three glasses of wine, "How can such a good dish not go with some wine, let's have a good drink today."

Luke greeted the two brothers to eat food.

The price of Donglaishun's vegetables is really not cheap. If he hadn't made some money, Luke would really be reluctant to eat it.

However, the mutton is really delicious, especially the hand-cut fresh mutton, which is fat and thin, tender but not woody, and has a good taste.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Jianguo mentioned the matter of cooperation, "Mr. Li, our brothers have seriously considered your proposal after we went back, and we all think your idea is very good, and hope you can invest in our company.

I believe that with your joining, the company's development will be better. "

Luke put down his chopsticks, "You brothers all think the same?"

Knowing that Luke was asking himself, Zhang Jianmin quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, I also welcome you to join the Zhang Brothers Construction Company.

My brother also said that when the time came to change the name of the company, the Zhang Brothers Company seemed stingy.

What do you think is the right name for our company? "

Luke waved his hand, "You guys decide, I said I won't interfere with the company's operations."

Zhang Jianguo's face was pale, and he was secretly happy. He raised his glass and toasted Luke again, "I'll toast you again. Thank you for your hospitality today. I'll do it."

Luke laughed, "It can't be done all the time, half a glass."

After the two drank half a glass, Zhang Jianguo continued, "Mr. Li, let's talk about buying shares. If there is no problem, let's finalize the contract directly."

"I also have this idea. How much do you two think the purchase price of the shares is appropriate?"

The Zhang brothers looked at each other, and Zhang Jianguo proposed, "10% of the shares is 10,000 US dollars, and 20% of the shares is 20,000 US dollars. What do you think?"

Luke touched his chin and shook his head, "I don't think this amount is appropriate."

Zhang Jianmin's face changed slightly, and he rubbed his right hand unnaturally.

Zhang Jianguo's expression did not change, and he felt a little uncomfortable. The price of ten thousand dollars is not high, almost the price of cabbage. Luke is still dissatisfied. A little greedy, worried that future cooperation will plant hidden dangers.

"Mr. Li, do you think two thousand dollars is appropriate?"

Luke smiled, "You two misunderstood, I don't think the purchase price is high, but too low.

I also sincerely cooperate with you two, not to mention $20,000 or $2,000, even if you two are willing, I can't offer it. "

The Zhang brothers looked surprised, and Zhang Jianmin couldn't help asking, "Mr. Li, how appropriate do you think?"

Luke stretched out two fingers, "Two hundred thousand dollars, 20% of the shares."

Don't buy it at a low price, but buy it at a high price. It seems that Luke is a bit stupid to do this, but it is actually eliminating hidden dangers in the future.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with buying 20% ​​of the shares of the construction company for US$20,000, and Luke is not short of that money, so why give someone a handle.

Furthermore, Luke had just returned from a treasure hunt, and he didn't lack a hundred thousand dollars in his hand. If David didn't have one, Luke could lend it to him. It's no big deal.

Luke still values ​​Zhang's construction company, but what he values ​​is not short-term benefits, but the long-term development of the construction company.

No matter how much he earns from treasure hunting, it is a one-shot deal, but investing in a construction company is different. This is equivalent to passive income, and he can make money while lying at home.

What is rich and what is financial freedom does not refer to how much money you can earn, but how much passive income you have and whether passive income can cover your living expenses.

Even if your passive income is only one-third or even one-fourth of your salary, the state of the whole person and the quality of life are different.

This is why Luke values ​​Zhang's construction company.

Zhang Jianguo was worried that what Luke said was polite, so he said politely, "Mr. Li, is the purchase price too high?"

Luke's tone was sincere, "It's not high, I still think it's low. Speaking of which, I'm still in the honor of the two of you. In the future, the company's affairs will need more attention from the two of you."

"Okay, I will do as you said." Zhang Jianguo was very happy. He was not short of the two hundred thousand dollars, and he earned it by contracting two more projects.

But Luke's attitude made Zhang Jianguo very happy. With such a broad-minded attitude, the future cooperation between the two will be smoother.

Luke raised his glass, "Come on, let's have a toast, and wish the future cooperation smooth and make a fortune together."

"Get rich together." The Zhang brothers raised their glasses with joy.
