Chapter 544 - Girl, We're Rich!
Making up his mind, his footsteps became even lighter.
“Huh? Is he drunk?” Wade looked at a man who was lying on the side of the road.
Thinking for a moment, he went and flipped the man over.
A drunk person lying on his stomach might drown in his own vomit. That was no joke.
Wade had always been a kindhearted man.
After he flipped the man over, he looked at the foam on the man’s lips and said with an odd expression, “No smell of alcohol, and he isn’t high. What’s the matter with him?”
At that moment, he noticed the crowbar that the man was still holding.
Rolling his eyes, he searched the man for a moment and found a bunch of “professional” tools.
“Fine, you’re actually a car thief,” he mumbled. “Were you shocked unconscious by the car’s defense system? How pitiful.”
He rolled his eyes and searched the guy again, before getting up and leaving happily. “Wow, you have 213 bucks on you! Jackpot! I’ll get a VIP booth later so that Vanessa can give me a solo performance.”
The unlucky thief still lay on the side of the road, except that he was now on his back instead of on his front.
The next day, Luke and Selina went to the police department
Seeing them from her office, Elsa couldn’t help going over to her door to wave at them.
After they entered, Elsa looked at their faces and raised an eyebrow. “How is the case coming along?”
Luke chuckled. “We’ve made progress. We’re waiting for updates.”
Elsa asked, “You met with Tony Stark?”
Luke nodded. “We have the details and found some leads.”
Elsa didn’t ask any further questions. “Okay, then. You can get back to work.”
Seeing them sit down at their desks to go through the files leisurely, Elsa mumbled to herself that these two were really close with that playboy!
How hard was it to meet Tony Stark?
It wasn’t just Director Brad, chief of the Westside police department, but even the LAPD’s general director also had to make an appointment if he wanted to meet Tony Stark.
Tony Stark would maybe give them ten minutes if he was in a good mood.
Yet Luke and Selina reported that they had already met with Tony Stark when they had just accepted the case yesterday.
Elsa wouldn’t believe it if they said that they didn’t have a personal connection with Tony Stark.
But Luke had never been talkative when it came to cases, and she wasn’t interested in the details.
A detective who could solve cases was a good detective. Elsa didn’t care about anything else, as long as they didn’t cross any boundaries.
There was no sound from Wade during the day, and they didn’t discover anything new in the files. The day passed uneventfully.
Luke and Selina read the files at the police department in the morning, and slipped home for training in the afternoon.
In the evening, the phone suddenly rang while they were having dinner.
Luke picked up the phone and said a few words, and couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.
Looking at his expression, Selina asked strangely, “Did you come into some money?”
Luke laughed as he stood up, and kissed her on the forehead. “Girl, we’re rich!”
Selina had no idea what was going on.
Luke had already dashed into his room. He changed clothes and then hurried back out.
Selina called out to him. “Hey, wait. Have you gone crazy?”
Luke froze, and then patted his forehead. “Calm down, calm down.”
He then came back and whispered something in Selina’s ear, making her turn her head in shock. “You must be joking!”
Laughing, Luke hugged her hard and said, “It’s true. I have to go to the company and make arrangements. You can take a break tonight. Gold Nugget, let Selina give you some snacks. You can have as much as you want today.”
With that, he slipped out of the house.
Selina stared at the door blankly for a while, before she mumbled, “Seriously? My 5% wasn’t wasted?”
Dollar was already walking around her and whining, which finally woke Selina up.
She grabbed Dollar’s head and stared at it for a moment, before she kissed its forehead. “Haha, I picked a good name for you, Dollar! Right, Gold Nugget is a great name too…”
Dollar and Gold Nugget were both at a loss.
Thanks to Selina’s intervention before he left the house, Luke had already calmed down.
Remembering his behavior just now, he was amused.
As if I’ve never seen money before! He sighed to himself.
It was very easy for him to make a quick buck on the sly.
But making a fortune legitimately wasn’t so simple. What was important was time.
He was confident he could make a huge amount of money after a few years, so this unexpected windfall was a pleasant surprise.
After taking a few detours and putting on a disguise in some apartment building, Luke drove an unremarkable Chevrolet to Beverly Hills to meet Secretary Jenny.
This time, Luke simply drove to Jenny’s villa.
He smiled at Jenny, who came to the door to greet him. “How do you feel?”
Jenny couldn’t hide her excitement. “Your luck is really good.”
Amused, Luke stepped into the house.
They went to the study on the second floor, and Jenny gave Luke a report for a look.
Jenny said, “I just read the report and confirmed the data. I also asked some of my classmates from college about what some of it meant. As long as the data in the report is accurate, the conclusion can’t be wrong.”
Nodding slightly, Luke scanned the data quickly.
In this regard, he was as good as Jenny’s classmates.
Tony Stark was an expert at developing materials; it was just that the work was mostly done by the R&D department at Stark Industries, and Stark had yet to throw himself fully into this area.
Or more precisely, the playboy hadn’t done any sort of research himself in this area yet.
After swiftly going through the investigation report, Luke said with a smile, “Okay, it seems we really struck it big.”
Just now, Luke received a call from Bobby, who informed him that the mining company had successfully located a new vein.
After confirming the news, the first thing Bobby did was to call his boss Luke with the good news and ask him what he should do next.
Luke told him to tell Jenny the news and send the investigation report to her. He then came over to her place.
He hugged Jenny, and they sat down to talk about the future of the mining company.
Jenny had to ask for leave and go to Boom Town for an inspection.
Luke didn’t need to go. With Bobby there, and since Samantha, Elizabeth’s mother, was in charge as the sheriff, few things could go wrong.
Luke hadn’t given Bobby any administrative power.
Bobby was purely a supervisor who oversaw the development of the mine.
Though this PR manager wasn’t that good at using his Mental Communication ability, he could still tell if someone was lying.
Luke had also instructed him to observe silently and to report any problem that emerged right away.
Bobby was none other than a human polygraph that Luke had set up at the gold mine.
