The call came from Anna Davis. She said: "Madeline just called me. I will follow up on this matter. I will report this to Deputy Director Harold Caldwell later." Something..."

Locke smiled and said: "Thank you Anna!"

Anna Davis continued: "Again, we just did what the LAPD should do. Don't worry, you handled it very well today. Fortunately, there were no casualties."

Locke replied with a smile on his face: "I am the LAPD, so naturally I will not mess around..."

Anna Davis paused and said, "Okay, that's it, say hello to Marianne and Todd for me..."

After hanging up the phone, Locke looked calm. If he would have revealed a little bit about his relationship with the Greenberg family before, he would naturally not take the initiative to expose it now.

Henry Greenberg took control of the Democratic Party, and the top management of the LAPD communicated directly with the FBI. A two-pronged approach made it even more foolproof.

Locke drove directly back to Beverly Hills. After taking the ledger from Mendez's repair shop, he opened the back door.

He stretched his hand inward, and a black duffel bag instantly appeared in his hand. The 30kg of gold were all in this bag.

After carrying the things into the house, Locke found that there were only Marian and Li Bo in the living room. The two were busy with their computers, obviously waiting for him.

He couldn't help but feel numb. He couldn't confess many things, so there were many things that he couldn't tell Marianne and Li Bo at all.

However, both of them were wearing the watches he gave them, which meant that the weather had cleared up.

"Dad, this is the sales ledger for the turbochargers at Mendes Repair Shop..."

"Mum, this is the batch of gold..."

Li Bo looked away from the computer and took a look, "Okay, I'll take a look later!"

Marianne also took a look and said, "Send it to the bedroom! I'll put it in the safe later!"

Locke went upstairs to put away the gold, then went back to his room and changed his clothes. Then he went downstairs, took a can of soda from the refrigerator, and sat down beside the two of them.

Marianne glanced at him doubtfully, "Why did you change your clothes? Aren't you going back to Villa Cortina tonight?"

Locke was startled and realized instantly that he was being asked to go back and guard the money!

So maternal love will indeed disappear. I used to wish that he would sleep at home.

Can he tell that the basement is empty now?

Locke took a sip of soda water and replied, "I'll be back later!"

He took the initiative and said, "Okay, you can ask whatever you want to ask?"

Marianne stared at the computer, shook her head and said, "I don't have anything to ask..."

She turned around and asked, "Todd, do you have anything to ask?"

Li Bo pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to ask..."

"..."

Locke was speechless, took another sip of soda water, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I was wrong. If you have any questions, I will answer them all. That's okay!"

"Snapped"

Marianne closed the computer and asked, "You said you gave Henry Greenberg a big gift. What was it?"

Locke hesitated for a moment and said: "In the last undercover mission, my target was the California drug lord Floyd Ross. Later, Floyd Ross's family suddenly died, and the undercover mission ended. , I accidentally obtained the asset list of Flois Ross. This thing is of no use to our family, but it is useful to talents of Henry Greenberg’s level..."

He almost wanted to talk about getting the oil paintings and jewelry together, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he had to do it step by step.

Li Bo interjected and asked: "How much is this asset list worth?"

Locke replied: "About one billion..."

Marianne's expression changed instantly and she turned to look at Li Bo.

Li Bo nodded and said: "Locke is right. This asset list is of no use to us. It is just like a piece of waste paper. Even the Greenberg family can only swallow half of it at most. This kind of thing requires mobilizing resources. It’s unimaginable…”

Marianne shrugged, "No wonder Henry Greenberg recognizes and indulges you so much! I feel much better now, and I no longer have to feel that I owe them any favors..."

Li Bo marveled again in his heart. He found that he could not see through Locke more and more. Even Marian was tempted by such a large sum of money. Locke gave it away as soon as he said it would be given.

He asked: "How much money do you have in your account now?"

Locke thought for a moment and replied: "There are probably 1000 million more!"

Li Bo said: "You can't put so much money in your account. It will attract attention too easily. Once the IRS targets you, even if I help you do the accounting again, you will still find loopholes. And, more importantly, you need to Thinking about your tax return next year…”

Locke said indifferently: "Dad, it's up to you to pay off the loan for the Malibu house in advance..."

Li Bo shook his head and said: "No, for the house in Malibu, the loan I got is the best. The interest rate is just enough to offset inflation, and there is no need to repay it in advance!"

Locke added: "Then it will be used for the new Lebeck farm. Anyway, leave me about one million..."

"There is no problem with the funds on Lebeck's side..."

Li Bo interrupted him and said: "I plan to register a company for you. Your patent licensing and transactions with Mendez Repair Shop will be in the name of the company. This will not only avoid tax, but also effectively block some tax aspects." risks of……"

"Your mother and I don't plan to touch the money in your account. You are older now and have a lot of daily expenses. I will help you with asset planning. Most of the money will be used for investment. The investment income should be enough for you. Daily expenses..."

"..."

Locke wanted to say that he still had money, but he swallowed his words as it was not the same as slapping himself in the mouth.

He said: "Okay, then you can figure it out, I will give you the card now..."

Locke put his hands in his pockets, took out his wallet from the space, handed the bank card directly to Li Bo, and then looked at Marianne, "Mum, don't you have anything else to ask?"

Marianne shook her head and said: "No, you can go back to Villa Cortina quickly. Give me a call when you get home..."

Locke said speechlessly: "I have kept it there for two months. The basement is very secret..."

He asked Li Bo: "Dad, have you figured out how to operate it?"

Li Bo replied: "Your mother and I have been studying for a day today, and we probably have some ideas. Your uncle Glenn and his family will come over tomorrow, and we will discuss it together..."

Locke said: "I have something to do tomorrow..."

Marianne frowned, "What's the matter with you?"

Locke replied: "I'm going to take the private pilot license test, and I have to attend training tomorrow..."

Li Bo was surprised and said: "You want to take the pilot license test, which is very good. I have always wanted to take the test but can't find the time. Then go and do your business!"

When Locke went upstairs to change his clothes and came down, Li Bo sent him out of the door. He showed the watch on his hand, then looked at the black Range Rover that had to park at the door because there was not enough parking space, and said with a smile: "Thank you. I like your gift very much. Don’t blame your mother. She just couldn’t accept it for a while and you suddenly surpassed us..."

Farewell to Li Bo, Locke left with complicated thoughts. Fortunately, not everything was exposed, otherwise, it might be harder for his mother to accept it.

When he was approaching Cortina, his phone rang again, and it was actually Tony Gerrard calling.

J answered the phone and Locke asked: "Vice team, what's the matter?"

Tony Gerrard asked in a hoarse voice: "Locke, would you like to meet me now?"
