After Locke told how he made 1100 million during this period of time with the help of Mendez Repair Shop, Marianne and Li Bo fell silent again.

Marianne immediately discovered the point and asked directly: "What is your relationship with that Sarah Mendes? How could they help you like this?"

Li Bo didn't say anything. His eyes when he looked at Locke changed instantly, his face became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "How did you get this money?"

Marianne immediately realized something was wrong and asked in surprise: "Didn't he make money by selling turbochargers?"

Li Bo said coldly: "Except for selling flour, have you ever seen any business that can earn more than 1000 million in such a short period of time..."

Marianne looked at Locke in disbelief and shouted angrily: "Locke, you are actually selling flour..."

She raised her hand and struck at Locke. Locke got up and dodged. He didn't want to be beaten in vain.

Besides, doesn’t he want to lose face?

Li Bo added: "How can a turbocharger have such a high profit? How much does a car cost..."

When Marianne heard the second sentence, she realized the misunderstanding and did not continue to pursue him. She just stared at Locke coldly.

Locke looked at Marianne defensively and said dissatisfiedly to Li Bo: "Dad, can you finish it in one go?"

He was not surprised that his father could immediately tell something was wrong, and was even a little proud, as he was worthy of being the head of the accounting firm KPMG.

Since Locke deliberately exposed his wealth this time, he has no intention of continuing to hide it. There are almost more than 3 million in his space now, and it is impossible to just leave it like this. If he were to clean it, he doesn't know how many years it would take to clean it.

Now the family is in need of money, and the sea-view villa in Marbury has almost exhausted all the funds the family can use.

Lebeck also wants to buy a farm, and Marianne wants to set up her own law firm. They both need money, so it's time to take some out, so as not to put it in the space, uh, occupying the space in vain.

Li Bo was the audit director of KPMG accounting firm, his uncle Glenn was a senior director of the IRS, and Marianne majored in business law and was about to set up her own law firm.

Finance, taxation, legal, one-stop service.

Let them have the headache. He doesn't want to worry about money laundering anymore.

However, he didn't plan to tell them the full amount, for fear of scaring them, and he had to give them a process of adaptation.

Marianne frowned, with a look of surprise on her face, "Todd, what's going on?"

Li Bo took off the watch in his hand and wanted to throw it away, but after hesitating, he put it back in the watch box. He stared at Locke angrily. He was so happy to receive the gift just now, but now he is so disappointed and angry.

He said solemnly: "His selling of turbochargers is just a cover. He is laundering money..."

"Money laundering?"

Marian reacted instantly and her face turned gloomy. She couldn't believe that Locke would do something illegal. Also, how did he get such a large sum of money?

She said in confusion: "Locke, why are you doing this? Our family is not short of money. How did your father and I educate you when you were young? You must rely on your own hands to obtain wealth. Your future is more than just 1000 million... "

Li Bo looked gloomy and uncertain. He looked at Locke with eyes full of disappointment and said coldly: "Now tell me the source of this money and let me see how many loopholes there are. Hmm, you are so smart. Do you call this money laundering? People with a discerning eye. You'll know what's going on at a glance. Once the IRS targets..."

"I asked you last time!"

Locke muttered, and he could see that although Marianne and Li Bo were angry, they were more disappointed with him. Despite this, they were still thinking about how to deal with the aftermath for him.

He spread his hands and said: "I obtained this money with my own hands. Jester has taught me since I was a child that wealth comes from plundering..."

“Dad, there is a saying in our university’s Chinese textbooks: If God gives you something, you must suffer the consequences; if you fail at the right time, you will suffer the consequences..."

Locke suddenly said something in Chinese, with a matter-of-fact expression, "I think I deserve this money. If I don't take the most, it will bring disaster..."

"Rock Lee, are you going to make me angry to death?"

Marianne was immediately furious and wanted to take action again, but Locke ran to the other side of the table.

Li Bo laughed at Locke's sudden outburst in Chinese. Normally, he would have had a good chat with Locke about this sentence, "Mary, listen to him first..."

Marianne took a deep breath. She was really angry. She really couldn't figure out why Locke did such a thing.

Everything is obviously going in the right direction. She wants to set up her own law firm and the family's farm area will double. Locke himself has even found a girlfriend from an old money family.

Why……

She stared at Locke coldly, "Tell me clearly, where did this money come from? How many people know?"

Locke replied: "No one knows except you..."

Li Bo and Marian breathed a sigh of relief. Marian hurriedly asked: "Todd, should we return this money..."

Locke asked in a voiceless voice: "Mum, are you sure you want to give it back?"

Marianne cursed: "Shut up and don't call me mum!"

Li Bo looked helpless and said comfortingly: "Mary, why don't you go out and calm down first, so that I can find out what happened?"

Marianne took a deep breath again, "OK, I won't talk anymore!"

She stared at Locke with a frosty face, "You continue..."

This was the first time that Locke saw Marianne so angry, but he was not afraid. He believed that her attitude would change when she knew the true amount.

He said: "You still remember that I was shot in the dark by Johnny Dyson, the leader of the Copernicus organization, when I was awarded the honor last time. This money was found in Johnny Dyson's safe house. If I were If this money is not taken away, it will be taken over by the remnants of the Copernicus organization. They will use this money to continue to retaliate against me and you. For the safety of our family, do you think I should take this money? Walk……"

"..."

Marianne and Li Bo looked at each other again. They did not expect that the money actually came from the Copernicus organization, the terrorist organization that forced them to live in a safe house.

The cold look on Marian's face suddenly softened a bit, and she said earnestly: "Locke, although this is indeed a large amount of money, I think you should report it. I don't want your life to be stained!"

Li Bo was no longer so angry and nodded: "I support your mother. Although 1100 million is a big number, it is not worth the stain on you..."

He switched to Chinese and said: "You should have learned this sentence when you studied Chinese in college. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way..."

Locke interrupted Li Bo in Chinese, "Dad, this money is more than 1100 million!"

Li Bo was stunned: "How much is that?"

Locke replied: "I don't know the exact number, but it's about 1.1 million in cash and 660 pounds of gold..."

"..."

Li Bo was stunned again, turned to look at Marianne, and was speechless for a moment.

Another sentence suddenly popped into my mind, "A thief who steals pearls is a thief, and a lord who steals a country is a prince."

Marianne couldn't understand what the father and son were talking about at all. She stared anxiously and shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, ithyourguys? Why are you suddenly speaking Chinese! Todd, what are you talking about?"
