Ginny suddenly exclaimed and looked at him in surprise.
Luke exerted a little force in his hands: "Don't think about these trivial things for now, let's discuss more important matters."
Ginny's fair skin flushed slightly as she looked at him: "Wh, what is more important, important business?"
Luke said in a serious tone, "For example, the communication and coordination between the chairman of Cosmic Cube Technology Co., Ltd. and his dedicated secretary."
Ginny took a breath, "I... I thought you were really going to talk to me about business all night today."
Luke: "This is also business. Let me see your work attitude, Secretary Ginny."
Ginny: "Yes, Chairman."
As the voices were spoken, a secretary started to do his or her job.
The next morning, Luke knocked on Selina's door with a refreshed look on his face: "Get up, the sun is shining on your butt."
Selina: "Get lost." A telescopic baton flew over.
Luke caught it and threw it back on her bed with a smile: "Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Selina sat up with a bang: "What's delicious?"
"Traditional Chinese food." Luke said casually and went back to work.
Ten minutes later, Selina sat down at the table in a capable manner: "You can serve the food, Chef Luke."
Luke smiled and brought out breakfast from the kitchen: "Soy milk and fried dough sticks. If you need meat, there are also pan-fried buns here."
Selina's mouth was already watering and she reached out for the bowl.
Luke had anticipated this and stopped her from doing anything stupid with a snap. "It's very hot. Add sugar first. Of course, you can add salt if you want. I don't like salty drinks anyway. Also, you can dip the fried dough sticks in it and eat them. It's up to you. You can eat the pan-fried buns first."
In the end, it was Luke who put sugar in the soy milk for both of them. Selina was already busy eating the steamed buns, half a bite at a time or two at a time.
Luke had anticipated this, and the dumplings he made had almost no soup in them, so the foodie didn't get burned.
He leisurely ate the fried dough sticks softened by soy milk.
The slightly salty crispy dough sticks, paired with the piping hot sweet soy milk, are delicious.
After Selina devoured six steamed buns, she finished another bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks, looking at the bowl with an unsatisfied look: "Why do I want to keep eating even though I'm full?"
Luke: "Because this is your first time eating. Let's go, we'll start working after we're full."
Selina thought about it and it made sense. Luke had already paid the remuneration, so she couldn't be lazy.
When they arrived at the police station, Elizabeth saw the two people coming and greeted them, "The boss asked you to go to the office first." Then she gestured to Elsa.
The two of them went over, Selina came forward to offer snacks, and Luke found a sofa and crossed his legs leisurely.
Elsa turned a blind eye and motioned Selina to close the door before she said, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Luke chuckled: "No, you are the first one I thought of when there is something beneficial."
Elsa had an inexplicably complicated expression. She glanced at Selina before continuing, "Okay, just pretend you know nothing about what happened yesterday. I will do the same."
Luke nodded.
Elsa continued, "Is there any progress in Mark Owen's case?"
Luke smiled and nodded: "There's a sheriff named Big Nick at the county police department. He might be willing to give me some information."
Elsa: "Who?"
Luke: "He was the one who handed the prisoner over to Mark Owen. When they caught the robbers yesterday, Selina and I helped them a little, and I think he wants to return the favor."
Elsa hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, but warned: "Don't trust that group of people too much. The county police are much more complicated than us."
Of course Luke understood.
Although the population of the county police's jurisdiction is similar to that of downtown Los Angeles, the area and region they cover is too large, with 42 cities.
It's impossible for someone who can thrive there to not be scheming and cunning.
If you simply trust these people's favors and get cheated, don't blame them. You can only blame yourself for being stupid.
At this point, Elsa didn't tell the two to leave yet, and changed the subject: "You have a more troublesome case on your hands, right?"
Luke thought for a moment and said, "What about the case of the pajama girl who was hit and killed?"
Elsa nodded with a serious expression: "I have read the files beforehand and found something. Do you know whose car it was that hit the girl?"
Luke thought for a moment and said, "It seems to belong to a luxury sports car club? Prime-exotic? Haha, it must be something made by some rich young masters who are keen on some special activities."
The name of this club has two meanings.
It can be understood as an expensive and exquisite imported product, or as the best stripper. When combined with a luxury sports car, the meaning becomes obvious.
Elsa: "Do you know who supports this supercar club?"
Luke thought for a moment and said, "A bunch of young masters from a large family?"
Elsa nodded and shook her head. "Most of the young men who play in this club are just guests. They can only cause you a little trouble at most. We in the serious crime team are not afraid of them. However, I know a little news. The person who is really "closely related" to this club is called Dylan Elsworth."
Luke hummed and waited for Elsa's next words.
Selina interrupted, "The Esworth family?"
Elsa: "It seems you have heard about it. Then you can tell him the basic situation of the Esworth family."
Selina: "If it's the Aysworth family I know, we can only hope they don't get involved."
Luke became interested: "How powerful are they?"
"Dylan Elsworth's father is Henry Elsworth, and his grandparents are Sheldon and Doris Elsworth," said Selena.
Luke raised an eyebrow: "Are you kidding me?"
Sheldon Elsworth has not been well-known in recent years, but Luke saw this name when he was looking up information about Los Angeles. Twenty years ago, he stepped down from the position of mayor of Los Angeles and then continued to serve as a city council member.
It was not until the last decade that his son Henry Esworth took over his position as city councilman and is currently running for mayor.
Doris Elsworth did not enter politics, but she is a director of several large charitable foundations in Los Angeles and the founder of several women's rights organizations.
These non-governmental organizations have no real power, but a large number of Los Angeles celebrities and their wives and daughters are involved in them.
Selina nodded helplessly: "It should be this one. If you are not sure, have you walked through Esworth Avenue? Or Esworth Park to the east. These are all named after their family."
Elsa interrupted, "If you're not familiar with the roads, or don't want to go to the park, there's also a city called Isworth in California."
