After getting off work in the afternoon, Locke did not go back to Grand Apartments, but to his home in Beverly Hills.

Li Bo comes back from New York at noon to attend his investiture ceremony tomorrow, so there is a family dinner tonight and he must go home.

When passing by the flower shop, I brought a bouquet of jasmine flowers to Marianne.

When he got home, Locke found that his uncle Glenn and his family were also there. There were three more children at once, and the house suddenly became very lively.

14-year-old Hannah is leading 10-year-old Olivia and 8-year-old Evelyn, wearing the cloak of Gryffindor House in Harry Potter and holding a magic wand, chasing them upstairs and downstairs, mouthing From time to time, he shouted magic slogans, and he couldn't do it in the second grade.

What surprised him was that 17-year-old Jet actually accompanied his 6-year-old cousin Virgil Locke to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, and both of them were made to laugh by Mr. Krabs.

Seeing Locke looking over, Jet immediately stopped smiling and had a cold expression on his face. The man who laughed just now disappeared instantly, causing his little cousin Virgil to look at him with strange eyes.

Locke quickly looked away, somewhat unable to help laughing.

What a proud little brother! Be strong in your life...

"Todd, thank you for coming back!"

Locke first said hello to Li Bo, then gave the flowers in his hand to Marian, and then greeted his uncle and aunt, "Hi, Glenn, Sophia, welcome..."

Li Bo took the initiative to hug Locke and said happily: "Locke, I'm proud of you! You are the pride of our family!"

The old father was a little excited. The once most incompetent and unscrupulous son had visibly improved for the better after joining lapd.

He also became lapd's hero, which made him both excited and ashamed.

Glenn patted Locke on the shoulder and said: "Locke, congratulations to you, Jester will be very happy, but unfortunately the farm is busy at this time..."

Locke won the life-saving medal this time and will have a bright future in LAPD.

Sophia Locke echoed with a smile: "Jester has the best vision. He has long seen how extraordinary Locke is!"

Then he said to Locke: "I must thank Jennifer for what happened last time. My client finally made an appointment with Professor Harold Caldwell for heart surgery. Within the year, he was full of praise for our service. Recently, I introduced three friends here. By the way, did Marianne tell you, I want to treat you and Jennifer to dinner..."

Locke's expression froze and he apologized: "Sorry, I forgot, but Sophia, it's not necessary, Jennifer is too busy..."

Regarding Jennifer Gray, he originally wanted to communicate with Marianne first, but he didn't want to meet Sophia today.

At this time, Marian came back after placing the flowers and immediately noticed something strange about Locke. She quickly changed the subject and said, "Locke is back too. Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after dinner!"

The dinner was very rich and was the result of the cooperation between Marianne and Li Bo. It was a merger of Chinese and Western cuisine.

In addition to some hard dishes, a hot pot and some beef, vegetables, and meatballs bought from a Chinese supermarket were also prepared.

The three children were taken care of by Jet and Hannah, so the adults ate comfortably, drank red wine, and chatted.

Glenn could only watch them drink as he was waiting to drive.

Li Bo also specially opened a bottle of Maotai. Unfortunately, Locke, Marianne, and Sophia couldn't drink it. He was the only one who drank it by himself. He drank it tastefully and was obviously in a good mood.

So Locke endured the discomfort and drank half a glass with him. He frowned and said, "Although this wine is not as strong as vodka, it is more suitable as a base for cocktails. I can't describe the taste..."

Li Bo was dissatisfied and said: "You don't know what to buy. This is China's national drink. This is also the case in the United States. In China, many people can't buy it even if they want to!"

Sophia asked curiously: "Why? Limited edition?"

Li Bo didn't know how to answer for a while. He couldn't say there were too many fake wines, so he said vaguely: "That's probably what I mean..."

Sophia's interest was immediately aroused, "Then I'll try it again!"

Regardless of whether it is Chinese or foreign, as long as the word "limited" is included, buffs can be added.

Glenn had almost finished eating and suddenly asked Locke: "Los Angeles seemed very lively last week. I heard it was related to the FBI and CIA?"

Locke put down the bones in his hand, wiped the grease on his fingers, and then said: "Well, the CIA killed a retired agent, and a secret witness was killed. Because the CIA has no law enforcement power in the country, so he entrusted When the FBI handles it, it’s a joint law enforcement effort between the two parties, and we, the LapD, are happy and relaxed.”

Glenn asked again: "I heard that CIA and FBI made a big mistake in the end?"

Locke asked curiously: "Aren't your IRS very well-informed?"

Glenn looked a little embarrassed, "The information channels of the IRS also depend on who is targeted, CIA and FBI. We don't have much information..."

Locke suddenly realized that the awesomeness of IRS also depends on who is targeted.

Whether it's the FBI or the CIA, there are not a lot of bad debts there, they can withstand IRS inspection, so the IRS should not be able to control these two departments.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "This case involves some secrets of CIA, which is a bit sensitive. It is not easy to tell the outside world..."

Glenn understood instantly and nodded: "I understand, then it's hard to say..."

He was startled for a moment, then looked at Locke doubtfully, "Then how do you know?"

Although Marianne and the three of them were drinking and chatting, they were also paying attention to the conversation between Locke and Glenn. At this time, they all looked at Locke curiously.

Locke wiped his hands with a wet tissue and took out the FBI ID from his pocket. He originally planned to confess this matter to his family.

Unlike other people, he kept it secret from his family when he became extremely rich or became so awesome that he would rather watch his family live a miserable life.

He basically talks about the things he can share with his family, so as to avoid misjudgment caused by their insufficient understanding of his strength.

Soon the FBI Special Advisor's ID was passed around in the hands of several people. Marianne immediately filled her head and asked, "Is it because of the incident last time?"

Well, not to mention, it is indeed related to the "doctor", which is a continuation of what happened last time.

Locke nodded and said: "Well..."

Marian put down the wine glass and asked her brother Glenn: "Have you finished eating? After you finish eating, go to the study to talk. Locke is also coming. I have something to tell the Mendes brothers and sisters. You can tell them later..."

Only then did Locke know that his uncle Glenn and his family had other purposes for coming here tonight.

He immediately thought that his uncle Glenn and his family would come over for a get-together every once in a while, but at that time, he just treated it as an ordinary family gathering and ignored the private chat between Marian and Glenn in the study after dinner.

In the study on the second floor, Marianne told the story about the last time Locke helped the FBI find a wanted criminal and received a reward of more than 30 yuan. She also casually talked about the FBI's previous recruitment of Locke.

Glenn didn't know about this yet, but after hearing this, he looked at Locke with even more amazement.

He also began to agree with Sophia's previous words in his heart. It seemed that Jester had the best vision in the entire family.

The third generation of the Locke family is run by Locke, and so far it seems that there are no problems at all.

Glenn asked: "Does Jester know about this?"

Marianne replied: "I told him last time I went back to the farm..."

Glenn was dissatisfied: "Why don't you tell me..."

Marianne replied angrily: "Do I need to report everything to you? Besides, I paid taxes on this money!"

With a tax rate of 35%, there is no way to avoid tax, which makes me heartbroken just thinking about it.

Seeing Glenn being scolded by Marianne, Locke almost laughed.

Compared to his uncle Henry, his uncle Glenn always had a serious face, maybe because of his career, which made it difficult for people to get close to him.

Glenn lost his temper after being retorted by his sister, and continued without changing his expression: "Actually, if Locke goes to the FBI, I think it might be better..."
