In the morning, Locke took Marianne's car to go to the law firm with her. After leaving Teddy last night, he took an Uber back to Beverly Hills.

He didn't take the rape case too seriously last night and was in no hurry to go back to the police station to record a statement.

That case, with complete witnesses and material evidence, will be handed over to the procuratorate immediately for prosecution.

But Teddys may be punished because what he said last night was so egregious that even though he is black, he will be censored.

But when I think about who his father is, this kind of punishment is of no use. The second generation official is so happy!

At a traffic light intersection, Marianne hesitated and said, "Locke, Anna didn't let me tell you in advance, but I think it shouldn't matter. You will be awarded the honor next week. She invited me and your father to watch the ceremony together. Your father Will fly back then..."

Li Bo flew back to New York early on Monday morning. After the IPO in New York is over, he will return to work in Los Angeles.

Locke was a little hesitant. Under normal circumstances, Lapd would be awarded a medal and his family would come to watch the ceremony and witness the glorious moment. This was normal, but he was reluctant to expose Marianne and Li Bo in front of Lapd.

He knew very well that the dangers in this world were beyond ordinary people's imagination. Li Bo and Marianne's participation in his investiture would expose them to too many people.

Marian didn't hear Locke's answer, turned to look at him, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you reluctant for me and your father to attend the ceremony?"

Locke soon made a decision and told the story of how he killed two drug dealers last time, triggering the Medino organization's revenge and putting his family in danger.

He apologized: "Sorry, mum, although the Medino organization has been destroyed, this risk will still exist in the future, so I don't want you and dad to be exposed too much in the police station..."

After hearing this, Marianne was silent for a moment and said: "Anna has already told me about this matter, and also arranged for police officers to protect us near home..."

She smiled and said: "Locke, as you said, we are a family, and I am very happy that you can take photos for us. However, as a family, we also want to witness your glorious moment, so your father and I will still Attend your investiture ceremony!”

Locke couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that he was overreacting, but his family was really his bottom line.

He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I respect your decision and welcome you to my training ceremony!"

……

Half an hour later, Marianne arrived at the law firm. Ham Law Firm is only a medium-sized firm in Los Angeles and is mainly responsible for commercial contract disputes and patent disputes.

The entire law firm, including 30% of the intern lawyers, has less than 100 lawyers, which is far less than a large law firm with hundreds of lawyers like Jeff Markey Law Firm.

There are five partners like Marianne in Ham Law Firm. Each partner's office is specially decorated and covers an area of ​​more than 5 square meters, with a separate bathroom and lounge.

Locke came to Marianne's office several times. As soon as he entered the office, he stood in the middle and walked around.

In the car earlier, Marianne mentioned asking him to come to the office to help check if there were cameras.

Marianne asked nervously: "How is it?"

Locke nodded and said with a smile: "Very clean!"

Marianne felt relieved and let Locke sit wherever he wanted, and then used the intercom to ask the assistant to bring in coffee.

She picked up a stack of documents on her desk, walked over to Locke, and asked, "Do you know how much the land at Mendez's repair shop is worth?"

Locke shook his head and asked, "Has it increased a lot?"

Marian nodded and said: "The investigators asked professionals to evaluate it, and this land is now worth about 6000 million US dollars!"

"wow!"

Although Locke knew that this land should be very valuable, he did not expect it to be so valuable. Cavell Construction Company only wanted to buy this land for 2000 million. No wonder they would do so many tricks.

As expected, capitalists would dare to do anything harmful to nature just for the sake of 300% profit.

The Mendez brothers and sisters really lived a hard life guarding their treasure, but they never thought that Sarah was also a rich woman!

However, even if they knew the land was so valuable, they probably wouldn't sell it.

Marianne looked carefully at Locke, the Mendes repair shop and even the situation of the Mendes brothers and sisters. The investigators made it clear. She had seen photos of Sarah Mendes and knew that this little girl was very beautiful.

She frowned and asked: "What is your relationship with the Mendez brothers and sisters? Why are you helping them so much? You even asked your uncle to investigate Cavell Construction Company..."

"Uncle Glenn actually tells you everything..."

Locke couldn't help but complain about the fact that the Mendez brothers and sisters lost the protection of the drug lord because of his intervention.

After hearing this, Marian frowned even more. She stared at Locke coldly, "Then after this incident is over, you should have less contact with them. Their interpersonal relationships are too complicated, and they are actually related to drug lords." The relationship..."

Locke wanted to explain, and just as he was about to speak, Marianne's assistant knocked on the door and brought in coffee.

The assistant is an Asian with yellow skin, wearing a Gucci ol uniform, with a slim figure, an oval face, hair dyed yellow, single eyelids and red phoenix eyes, and looks great.

Marian introduced: "This is Vivian, my assistant, from South Korea..."

Locke hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand, "Locke Lee, nice to see you. Thank you very much for your help to Marianne..."

After shaking hands with Locke, Vivian walked out of the office with red ears.

Marianne immediately warned: "Don't try to trick her!"

Locke said dissatisfied: "Mum, what did you say?"

This Vivian's facial features are strange, but they are in line with American aesthetics.

Marian snorted coldly, "Don't think that I don't know about you and Jessica. She told me when she left..."

Jessica was Marianne's first assistant. She was a beautiful and enthusiastic Mexican beauty with a sexy figure. After finishing her internship, she returned to Mexico.

Locke could only bear the blame and said with a serious expression: "This kind of thing will never happen again. I promise, Vivian is not my taste at all..."

Marian didn't stare at her and continued: "I remember making an appointment with Jennifer. I wanted to treat her to dinner. Sophia said that she had made an appointment with Professor Harold Caldwell and wanted to thank her for her help this time... …”

"..."

Locke was stunned. It seemed that it was time to confess. Jennifer Gray was a very simple and independent woman. They were just friends. If she was asked to meet her parents, the nature would change.

He took a breath and said seriously: "Mum..."

"Boom...boom..."

"Marian, Mr. Mendez and Miss Mendez are here..."

Vivian opened the door, and Victor Mendes and Sarah Mendes, who looked slightly restrained, appeared at the door. Seeing that Locke was there, the two of them suddenly relaxed a little.

The two of them met very formally. Victor wore a gray casual suit, looking much calmer; Sara wore a striped shirt and a three-quarter skirt, adding a bit of mature charm.

Locke hurriedly stood up and went to greet him, leading Victor and Sarah to the sofa, and introduced to Marian who also got up: "Mum, this is Victor Mendes and Sarah Mendes..."

Then he introduced the two of them: "This is Marian Locke, one of the partners of Hamm Law Firm, and also my mother!"

Victor and Sarah were surprised to hear that Marianne was Locke's mother, and their expressions became reserved again.

Marianne shook hands with the two of them with a smile, motioned them to sit down, and told Vivian: "Inform Ralph to come over and bring in two more cups of coffee..."

Marianne handed a piece of information to Victor, "Mr. Mendez, we have investigated clearly. Your lawyer Luis Lamen bought a house at a 3% discount before assisting you in signing the parking lot contract. , that house is worth 120 million dollars, and the owner is the wife of Henry Cavill, the owner of Cavill Construction Company..."
