The Stark Group is a behemoth, but it is difficult to find out who did it because it has so many enemies.
As long as the purpose is not obvious, it is difficult to guess who planned the kidnapping.
Even if the purpose is obvious, it cannot be ruled out that someone is trying to frame someone and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and then reap the benefits.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Luke took Selina for a walk in the Stark Industrial Park east of Los Angeles.
There are many abandoned factories in this area.
Stark's earliest production base was also here, and later it moved to places with lower costs.
But as a large group with no shortage of money, this original production base has been retained, and some research and production departments are still here.
At the same time, it will also serve as a venue for various large-scale events held by the Stark Group.
The wealthy Stark Group keeps even this second-tier research and production park very beautifully maintained, making it the best place in the surrounding area.
The greenery, landscaping, streets, and road facilities are better than those in downtown Los Angeles.
The public security here is also very good. The East District Police Station has invested a large number of police forces in this area and has cracked down severely on crimes such as theft, robbery and murder.
Add in Stark Group’s own security team, and this place is like... a white lotus in a muddy pit.
Thinking of this metaphor, Luke couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Selina was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Luke smiled and expressed his thoughts, but Selina didn't laugh. She asked curiously, "That's a very appropriate description."
Luke smiled.
Only he knew what kind of adjective had ruined the white lotus in the previous life.
He didn't explain and drove straight to a fast food restaurant not far from the exhibition site: "I'm going to buy lunch. It's the same old rules, right?"
Selena: "I'm going to add an ice cream today."
The dollar in the back row immediately started to whine in dissatisfaction. That was the gold nugget reminding him, meaning "Where's mine?"
Luke smiled and said, "Okay, buy two ice creams, large ones, right?"
Nugget: "Woof."
Luke and Selina got out of the car and went into a fast food restaurant. Soon they packed up a lot of food.
Fortunately, the two of them and the dog are not particularly picky about food.
Even though Luke likes to cook for himself, he doesn't mind eating out occasionally, whether it's fast food burgers, sandwiches, or fried chicken.
As long as Gold Nugget is treated equally with the other two, he won't act like a demon.
As soon as I went out, I saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of the fast food restaurant and a fat security guard got out of the car.
Luke saw this person, said nothing, and walked towards his car.
The fat security guard over there saw Luke and the others, his expression changed, but he didn't show any intention of greeting them.
The three of them passed each other a few meters apart.
Luke and his friend got in the car and went to a park not far away.
This park is right in front of the main building complex of the park, facing the gate.
There are many low landscape trees in the park, which do not block the view too much, but can provide scattered and small patches of shade to people in the park.
It was almost noon and the sky in Los Angeles was clear. There were not even any clouds in the sky, only the vast blue sky.
The two people and the dog hid under the shade of a slightly larger tree and took out the takeaway one by one.
Selina also specifically told Nugget to eat slowly.
We are outside here, and we can't let it eat dozens of kilograms of food in one meal.
Nugget had long been accustomed to it, and could even slightly suppress Dollar's urge to gobble down his food, delaying the finishing of a burger until three bites, which was really difficult.
Luke took out a burger, took a bite, and raised his eyebrows: "The quality of this burger is quite good."
Although the price of a burger at fifty dollars is a bit exaggerated, his increasingly discerning taste can taste a lot.
Whether it is the burger crust or the meat inside, they are all first-class and there is no cutting corners.
The cheese in it tastes top-notch, no wonder it is sold at such a high price.
Although there are pizzas in the United States that cost one or two hundred dollars, they are made with ingredients such as foie gras, black truffles, blue cheese, and edible gold foil.
Although this kind of food is expensive, it is not necessarily delicious.
The ingredients used in this burger are of very high quality, and the ingredients are not as expensive as "Golden Pizza", so it is good value for money.
This burger is the most expensive in that fast food restaurant. The quantity is limited and it will be sold out while stocks last.
According to the clerk, this is a must-buy before the lunch rush, otherwise this premium burger would be in short supply every day.
As for the reason, the clerk smiled and pointed to the Stark Group building without saying anything.
Luke vaguely remembered that a certain young master seemed to have a special liking for hamburgers? He had to eat a hamburger even after saving the world.
No wonder the burgers here are made with such authentic ingredients and are so expensive, but there is nothing fancy about them.
A certain young master doesn't care about caviar, black truffles, foie gras, or edible gold foil. It must be a cheeseburger, and it must taste great.
Selena was also enjoying her meal and rarely complained about the taste of the burger.
Generally speaking, she would complain that most fast food hamburgers, hot dog sandwiches are pig food, including those she makes herself.
The gold nugget was infected with this idea by her, but today he also immersed himself in eating.
The two people and the dog quietly enjoyed this leisurely lunch time.
Suddenly, a car stopped on the side of the road not far away, and an old man got out, followed by three people.
Luke noticed this person and felt a little strange, but he still stood up with a smile and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Aoki."
The person who came turned out to be old man Aoki, the president of Nakatomi Company, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Luke took the initiative to stretch out his hands. He couldn't stand the old man's serious bow.
It was Aoki's freedom to bow if he liked, but Luke didn't like it.
After the two men shook hands, old man Aoki said with his signature serious look, "Detective Luke, I'm sorry for not visiting you."
I'm having a headache because of you visiting me! Luke grumbled in his heart, but smiled and said, "Mr. Aoki, you're welcome. Thank you for understanding my busy work and thank you for your gift."
Although the two had not met since the Zhongfu Building robbery, Aoki would always send people to deliver gifts to his house during major holidays. The gifts were all various special ingredients and were very expensive.
Giving other gifts can easily give people a handle against you, but giving food is not that troublesome.
Old man Aoki's manners are so thoughtful that they are outrageous.
Likewise, this courtesy made it impossible for Luke to ignore him.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Luke realized that old man Aoki was also here to attend the trade fair.
However, he himself did not buy anything, he was just accompanying a big client on the visit.
The client hadn't arrived yet, and when he passed by and saw Luke, he stopped by to say hello.
