Chapter 28
The office was rebuilt from a container, so Locke naturally heard Sarah’s accusations against Victor, but he didn’t take it to heart. Although he sympathized, he couldn’t possibly use his car as a favor.
His relationship with his younger siblings was also very tense, so he didn’t have the mood to worry about others.
But when he heard Sarah crying, his steps slowed down a little, and he felt a little empathetic.
When Locke Lee had a fight at school, did Jet and Hannah feel helpless and hate their brother like Sarah?
Thinking of meeting Jet and Hannah again tonight, Locke couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He started the car, turned around, and when he was about to leave, he saw Victor chasing him in the rearview mirror.
Locke hesitated, took his foot off the accelerator, pressed the window, and asked, “Anything else?”
Victor looked embarrassed and said sincerely, “I want to solemnly apologize to you for my recklessness just now…”
Locke guessed Victor’s intention to catch up and said calmly, “You have already apologized!”
Victor clenched his fists and said seriously, “I hope you can give me another chance!”
Locke raised his eyebrows and asked, “Can you tell me the reason?”
Victor said ashamedly, “Sarah cried. I promised Edmund to take good care of her, but obviously, I messed up everything. The last time she cried was at Edmund’s funeral. She is my only family now. I can’t let her down. You are her client…”
Family!!!
These two words touched Locke and decided to give Victor another chance.
He nodded and said, “OK, then I can give you another chance, but you know I’m here to repair the car. If your skills don’t meet my requirements…”
At this time, Sarah, who was afraid that Victor would conflict with Locke again, also chased out. She said anxiously, “Victor, don’t mess around!”
Victor signaled to his sister that it was okay, and then walked around the car twice with a serious face, and signaled Locke to open the hood.
3 minutes later, Victor returned to Locke and said confidently: “The power is not smooth enough, there is noise in the exhaust, the brake pads need to be replaced, and I need to drive for other problems…”
Locke looked at him in surprise. He didn’t expect that this guy was actually a real talent. Why did the repair shop become like this?
Well, when I thought of his temper, I was immediately relieved.
Locke turned off the car, got out of the car, and threw the key to Victor, “You got it, and I’ll give it to you next. I want to pick up the car as soon as possible…”
“Yes!!!”
Victor waved his fist vigorously and shook the key in his hand happily to his sister.
Sarah also looked at Locke gratefully, “Please rest assured, Victor’s skills are also recognized by Edmund, he just has a bad temper…”
“His skills are really good…”
Locke took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which he listed the parts that needed to be repaired and upgraded, and handed the paper to Victor.

Victor was shocked when he saw the content on the paper. The problems he just mentioned were all written on this paper.
Locke ignored Victor’s shock and pointed at the F150 and said, “In addition to the engine problems you just mentioned, I want to replace the shock absorbers, tires, brakes, and wheels of the whole car to improve the comfort of the car. Also, please clean up the decals on the car body…”
This car is covered with fancy decals, and he prefers the car to be clean.
Victor hesitated and said, “This is a lot of money!”
Locke had just made a windfall, so how could he be short of money? He smiled and said, “Money is not a problem. By the way, can you make the car bulletproof? Civilian grade is fine. Also, here in the trunk, if possible, please modify a pull-out rifle cabinet. I want a refrigerator on the other side…”
He cherishes his life very much. If it weren’t for the system’s requirements, he wouldn’t even want to be a policeman.
Victor smiled immediately, as if he saw the money falling from the sky, “Don’t worry, as long as the money is enough, you can ask me to install Patriot missiles, I can get it for you!”
After confirming the places that need to be repaired, upgraded, and modified, Locke signed a contract with Victor and agreed to pick up the car in a week.
However, because the price of bulletproof glass and steel plates needs to be verified, the final modification fee has not been determined. When all the fees are out, Locke needs to pay a 50% advance payment.
When leaving, Locke originally planned to call an Uber, but Sarah Mendes insisted on driving him.
Victor tried to stop her, saying, “Let me take you there!”
Sarah glanced at her brother coldly, “I want to go out for a drive, can’t I just give Locke a ride?”
Victor knew his sister was still angry with him, so he had to compromise. While Sarah was getting the car from the garage, he warned Locke, “Although youGave me a big business, but if you dare to have any idea about my sister, don’t blame me for being rude to you…”
Locke was speechless. Did this guy forget that the wound on his forehead was not healed yet!
After a while, Sarah drove an orange-red Dodge Challenger. From the roar of the engine, it was known that it had been deeply modified, with a stroke, a turbine, and nitrogen installed.
She pressed the window and smiled at Locke: “Get in the car!”
After a roar, the orange-red color instantly disappeared into the car graveyard.
Victor stared at the direction where the Challenger disappeared, feeling lost.
The big black guy Ryder next to him suddenly said: “Is Sarah not interested in some pretty boy? ”
Victor’s face suddenly changed, and he cursed: “If you can’t speak, just shut up…”
He stared at the F150 fiercely, and gritted his teeth and said: “Put the car on the rack and check it carefully again. It’s not easy for a rich man to come. Our service must be worthy of the price he offers…”
The Dodge Challenger was speeding on the road. Locke tightly grasped the handrail on the door frame. It turned out that driving a fast car by yourself and riding in someone else’s fast car felt completely different!
No wonder David reacted so strongly last time. No one is willing to put their safety in the hands of others.
Locke looked sideways at Sarah Mendes and found that Sarah showed another side of her when driving. At this moment, she showed concentration and calmness beyond her age, and her eyes were shining with confidence and unruly light.
It must be said that this girl is very charming. Sometimes she is as sweet as a girl next door, and sometimes she is a furious female demon, scaring the two strong men so that they dare not speak.
The scene has become a wild and unruly female driver again.
Locke asked: “Do you like driving? “Of course, I grew up on a racetrack…” Sarah blurted out. She turned her head to look at Locke, noticed his abnormality, and quickly turned the paddle to downshift, and the car slowed down immediately. She apologized, “I’m sorry, I scared you. When I’m in a bad mood, I like to drive fast and I get immersed in speed unconsciously…” Locke let go of her hand and asked again, “Do you feel tired having a brother like Victor? ”
Sarah frowned, and instantly became a little colder, and replied: “Victor is kind and enthusiastic, and has an amazing talent for machinery. I love him very much. He is my only family. Don’t misunderstand him because of what happened today. He just cares too much about me. Well, he hasn’t learned to control his emotions…”
Locke realized that his question was a bit offensive, and explained: “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else, it’s just that I used to be a complete bastard, which caused my brother and sister to have a deep estrangement with me. I have always wanted to ease the relationship with them, but I don’t know how to do it…”
Sarah was stunned for a moment, her expression eased a little, and she shook her head and replied: “Sorry, I can’t help you, every family is different, but as long as you love your family, I believe they will accept you…”
“Thank you…”
Locke showed a thoughtful look, as if he really understood something.
