Chapter 81
“Hollisette, what is this?”
“Jesus, what did I see…”
“Fuck, I actually saw an L88 with my own eyes…”
“…”
When Locke drove the Corvette L88 to the Mendes repair shop, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Victor and Ryder threw the AR15 in their hands directly on the table on the side, shouted around the car, holding their heads and making unbelievable expressions, and their crazy appearance was as if they saw Scarlett Johansson dancing naked.
As the national supercar of the United States, the Corvette has an extraordinary status in the minds of Americans.
And the L88 is a stunning work that pushes the Corvette into another dimension. It is definitely a god-like existence in the car circle.
Not only because of the rare ownership rate of this car and the price that is not inferior to the top supercars.
It is also because it has indeed achieved brilliant track results.
It deserves to be praised like this.
Sarah Mendes was holding a Glock G17 in her hand, wearing a white vest and denim hot pants. She looked cool and beautiful. Although her expression was not as exaggerated as Victor and Reid, her pretty face was also full of shock and excitement.
Locke turned off the engine, pushed the door and got out of the car. He immediately saw that the place for shooting practice next to him was full of bullet shells, at least thousands of them.
Obviously, the three of them had been practicing shooting diligently for the past three days.
This tense atmosphere made Locke’s heart sink and his guilt increased greatly.
Well, let’s get this thing done quickly!
Victor Mendes came forward and asked nervously, “Um, can you lend it to me?”
“No…”
Locke refused. He just wanted to get this thing done quickly to avoid distracting his attention.
He would think of the Mendes brothers and sisters from time to time during these three days. If something happened to them, he would feel guilty for a while.
Fortunately, nothing happened yet.
Logically speaking, with his personality, he doesn’t need to care too much about the life and death of the Mendes siblings, but who said that this matter was caused by him?
His intervention last time caused the Mendes siblings to lose the amulet Mario Pierce, which put them in danger.
Since this cause and effect has been involved, it must be resolved.
Well, he got involved in this matter, definitely not because Sarah Mendes is too beautiful.
Victor Mendes shrugged, not angry, “Well, I don’t want to either. I heard from Sarah that you want to talk to me…”
Locke nodded, “Let’s go, let’s find a place to talk…”
Seeing Sarah Mendes looking at him shyly, he threw the key in his hand over, “Sarah, please help me park the car…”
Victor Mendes curled his lips, looking unhappy, but didn’t say anything.
…
In the office on the second floor, Victor made a cup of coffee for Locke, “I heard from Sarah that you like this stuff!”
After he handed the coffee to Locke, he went to the refrigerator to get a Corona and squeezed a lime into it.
Victor sat opposite Locke with a big mouth, “Go ahead, what do you want to talk about?”
At this time, Locke found that he seemed to have always underestimated Victor Mendes, thinking that this guy was not smart enough, was almost deceived into the repair shop, was impulsive, and was a die-hard sister control.
But after his father’s death, Victor Mendes was able to maintain the current situation, not be completely eaten up by the real estate developers, and was able to fight against the gangs. It is definitely not something that Mario Pierce can protect with just a word.
He asked, “Has the Smith family made any moves these days?”
Victor paused for a moment while drinking beer, and looked at Locke in surprise, “You actually know that Martin, the bastard, belongs to the Smith family! Uh, yes, you are a cop, it is easy to get this information…”
His face sank, and he said ruthlessly, “This bastard has been saying that he wants to cause trouble for us, hum, as long as he dares to come, he will definitely not come back…”
Locke raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you believe me?”
Victor was startled again, and nodded, “Of course, with your identity, you shouldn’t lie to us. Besides, you have that kind of relationship with Sarah after all, well, I believe you…”
Locke was instantly confused, he and Sarah Mendes have that kind of relationship?
How come he doesn’t know?
Fuck, we are innocent!
Locke subconsciously wanted to explain, Sarah Mendes is not yet an adult, he doesn’t want to be regarded as a pervert.
But the words were swallowed again, forget it, this matter is not the point, the most urgent task is to quickly resolve the threat of the Smith family.
Locke said seriously: “There is an old Chinese saying, ‘You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t be on guard against thieves for a thousand days…'”
Victor frowned, obviously not understanding, “What do you mean?”
Locke had to explain in more common words, “We can’t keep doing this.Passively waiting for the Smith family to come to you, maybe they just want to keep putting pressure on you like this…” Victor showed a look of realization, nodded and said, “This sentence makes sense, it is true, so, you mean we should take the initiative to kill this guy…” Locke shook his head and said, “No, we should force them to come as soon as possible!” Then Locke told his plan, “I have already used my connections to find trouble with Cavill Construction Company. If there are really police officers in the West Canyon Police Department who are colluding with him, they should not be able to find out, but these are not enough…” Locke took a sip of coffee, full of bitterness, damn, brother-in-law didn’t put sugar! Victor looked impatient, “Just say what you want me to do! Why do you people always like to talk in circles…” Locke was speechless, put down the coffee, and said, “I will help you contact a lawyer, and you entrust the lawyer to sue the court. Since the lawyer you hired violated professional ethics and did not protect your interests, apply to the court to invalidate the contract…” “Ah…” Victor was shocked, “This… is this really possible? ”
Locke nodded and said, “This is not the point. My purpose is to alert the enemy. After receiving the news, Cavill Construction Company will definitely let the Smith family take action. I will help you set up monitoring equipment at the intersection later, so that once Martin brings people over, you can wait and solve this problem once and for all…”
Seeing that Victor seemed to be very concerned about the contract, he explained again: “Although there is no problem with your contract, the lawyer obviously violated professional ethics, and the other party’s bankruptcy and illegal transfer of the contract to Cavill Construction Company are all loopholes. As long as these go through the judicial process, the law firm will help you solve them…”
Marian has given him professional advice. Marian’s law firm mainly undertakes patent disputes and business breaches. It is very professional for such contract disputes.
Victor asked again: “Can the land of the track really be taken back?”
The land next to the track was cheated, which has always been Victor’s biggest concern.
Locke nodded and said, “It’s not a big problem…”
Victor said excitedly: “I listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do! ”
When leaving, Locke checked Sarah Mendes’s shooting results again. It’s true that he made a mistake last time.
This woman is very talented in shooting with a pistol. The bullet is getting closer and closer to the target, but the hit rate of the rifle is average.
