South Pasadena is a small city adjacent to Los Angeles with beautiful scenery and a long history. It was an early affluent area of ​​Los Angeles and was inhabited by wealthy white families.

With the emergence of new wealthy areas such as Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Newport Beach, many wealthy white people have moved away from South Pasadena, but some old money still remains here.

The Greenberg family owns a 20-acre estate in South Pasadena, where Henry Greenberg usually lives when he comes to Los Angeles.

This is also a Spanish-style villa with a marble structure that looks older. However, the manor is well maintained and you can only feel the historical heritage without any trace of obsolescence.

Unlike the Greenberg Manor in Beverly Hills, the terrain of this manor is very flat and there are not too many trees. Most of the place is covered with green turf, just like a golf course.

Entering the manor, the view instantly broadened, and Locke seemed to have returned to the farm.

Cullinan stopped smoothly at the door of the very old villa. Locke saw an old man with a kind face standing at the door and subconsciously thought it was the housekeeper.

Locke opened the door and got out of the car, first nodded to the butler and said hello, then turned around and reached into the car, helping Daisy Greenberg get out of the car.

As soon as Daisy Greenberg got off the car, she greeted the old man in Hebrew, "Grandpa..."

She just said hello, and did not have the intimacy with the elders of ordinary Jewish families.

Locke was startled, not expecting that the old man he thought was the butler was actually Henry Greenberg.

In his imagination, Henry Greenberg should be a very majestic old man, but he did not expect that he looked more ordinary than his grandfather Jester and had no aura at all.

Henry Greenberg replied with a smile on his face: "My dear Daisy, I am glad to see you enter a new stage of life..."

He switched to English and said to Locke: "Locke, I'm glad to see you and welcome your arrival!"

Locke also replied in Hebrew: "Mr. Greenberg, nice to see you too!"

Henry Greenberg looked at Locke in surprise, glanced at Daisy, and saw that she was also looking at Locke in surprise. He reached out and patted Locke's arm, and replied in Hebrew: "You're fine..." …”

Obviously, he believed that Locke learned Hebrew specifically for Daisy Greenberg, which was a great respect for the Jews.

Henry Greenberg led Locke and Daisy into the villa. Seeing that they were still holding hands, his smile became even brighter, and his wise and deep eyes were filled with relief.

An old black man with silver hair opened the door and welcomed them in, "Nice to see you, Miss Daisy, and you, handsome Detective Locke!"

Daisy Greenberg introduced: "This is Buffy, Henry's housekeeper..."

Locke said hurriedly: "Nice to see you..."

His eyes swept across the black man's body. This was not just a simple butler.

……

On the large dining table, Henry Greenberg sat in the middle, with Locke and Daisy sitting on both sides.

Dinner was Chinese food. Well, although it was improved American Chinese food, Locke could still see that Henry Greenberg valued him.

This is a very wise old man, and he does not assume a condescending attitude just because of the difference in status.

Locke was even more surprised to see Henry Greenberg and Daisy using chopsticks skillfully, but he immediately reacted.

Jews have been eating Chinese food for hundreds of years, starting in the early [-]th century. At that time, the Chinese had just arrived in North America, and they were brothers in need with the Jews who did not believe in Christianity.

Unfortunately, the Jews gradually gained a foothold and became the upper class in the United States, while the Chinese were still at the bottom.

Nowadays, it has become a tradition for Jews to go to Chinese restaurants to eat Chinese food at Christmas.

Henry Greenberg is a very talkative person, and Locke is not bad either. Especially after possessing the talent of a spiritual mentor, he is even more of a social expert.

Through chatting, Locke realized that Henry Greenberg knew him very well. Although he had expected it, he was still a little numb.

Daisy Greenberg had been eating quietly without any intention of joining in the chat. She seemed like an outsider.

After chatting with Locke about his extraordinary experience during this period, Henry Greenberg suddenly asked: "Locke, what are your career plans? Do you want to be the Chief of Police (COP) in the future?"

Locke put down his chopsticks and replied: "Sorry, I didn't think that far..."

"Well, let me know when you have an idea!"

Henry Greenberg nodded, glanced at Daisy who was eating slowly, looked a little helpless, and said: "Your mother is an excellent lawyer, I want Loew to invite her to become Jeff Partner of Markey Law Firm, Love is getting older and older, I want to ask her to come over and help Daisy, what do you think?"

Locke could see that Henry Greenberg was indeed sincere. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Marianne is preparing for her own law firm..."

Although the partner at Jeff Markey's law firm is far more prominent in the industry than the founder of a small law firm, he believes that Marianne would prefer to own her own law firm.

Henry Greenberg was startled, "Well, I don't know about this. I will tell Loew to see if there is anything I can do to help..."

Locke felt that the time was about right, so he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and put it in Henry Greenberg's hand, "Mr. Greenberg, I participated in a mission some time ago. I got it accidentally. There is some information in it. It should be Might be useful to the Greenberg family!”

This USB flash drive was specially prepared by him. It only contained Floyd Ross's asset list and Floyd Roy's political donation records to some Democratic Party members.

Henry Greenberg looked at Locke in surprise and asked, "What is this?"

Locke replied: "The list of drug lord Floyd Ross's assets hidden around the world and the records of political donations he made to Democratic congressmen..."

Henry Greenberg's eyes narrowed, he pondered for a moment, glanced at the USB flash drive at hand, and asked, "Why don't you give it to Sullivan Gray?"

Locke's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he knew about his relationship with Jennifer Grey.

He said calmly: "Because Daisy is my girlfriend!"

Henry Greenberg smiled, "I asked Daisy and she said she agreed. Although I am not happy, I will support her decision! Locke, I only have one request for you, don't do any harm. It’s about Daisy!”

Locke instantly felt Henry Greenberg's aura, which far exceeded that of Love Hogwarts.

He naturally heard Henry Greenberg's warning and solemnly said: "Mr. Greenberg, I promise you that I will never hurt Daisy!"

Henry Greenberg calmed down and raised his hand. Buffy, who was standing far away, immediately came over. He pointed at the USB flash drive, and Buffy immediately took the USB flash drive away.

A smile overflowed on his face, "Locke, you are very good, better than I imagined!"
