Jenny suddenly exclaimed and looked at him in surprise.
Luke tightened his grip. "Let's not think about these trivial matters for now. Let's talk about more important matters."
Jenny blushed slightly as she looked at him. "What … What's more important?"
Luke said solemnly, "For example, the communication between the chairman of Cosmic Cube Technology and his personal secretary."
Jenny took a deep breath. "I … I thought you were really going to discuss business with me for the whole night."
Luke said, "It's also business. Let me see your attitude at work, Secretary Jenny."
Jenny said, "Okay, chairman."
Then, a certain secretary started doing her job.
The next morning, Luke knocked on Selina's door in high spirits. "Time to get up. The sun is shining on your butt."
Selina said, "Get lost." An extendable police baton flew at her.
Luke caught it and tossed it back to her bed with a smile. "Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Selina sat up with a thud. "What's good?"
"Traditional Chinese cuisine," Luke said casually, before he went back to work.
Ten minutes later, Selina sat down at the table. "You can serve the food now, Chef Luke."
Luke brought out breakfast from the kitchen with a smile. "Soybean milk and youtiao. If you want meat, there's also pan-fried buns. "
Selina was already drooling, and she reached for the bowl.
Luke had already expected it, and stopped her stupidity. "It's hot. Add sugar first. Of course, you can add salt if you want. I don't like salty food anyway. Also, you can dip the youtiao in it. It's up to you. The pan-fried buns can go first. "
In the end, Luke added sugar to their soybean milk. Selina was already busy eating the pan-fried buns in one bite and two bites.
Luke had already expected this, and made the pan-fried buns with almost no gravy, which was why the glutton wasn't scalded.
Luke, on the other hand, leisurely ate the youtiao that had been softened by the soybean milk.
The slightly salty and crispy youtiao paired with the hot and sweet soybean milk was incomparably delicious.
After eating six fried buns, Selina finished another bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks. She looked at the bowl, not satisfied. "Why do I still want to eat when I'm already full?"
Luke said, "Because it's your first time eating it. Let's go. Once we're full, we have to get to work. "
Selina thought for a moment and realized that it made sense. Since Luke had already paid her, she couldn't slack off.
When they arrived at the police station, Y'lisabet saw them and said, "Boss wants you to go to the office first." She then gestured to Elsa.
They went over, and Selina offered the snacks, while Luke crossed his legs on a couch.
Turning a blind eye to it, Elsa gestured for Selina to close the door before she said, "Are you trying to set me up?"
Luke chuckled. "No, you're the first person I thought of."
Elsa had a complicated expression on her face. She glanced at Selina and continued, "Alright, pretend that you don't know anything about what happened yesterday. I'll do the same."
Luke nodded.
Elsa then asked, "Is there any progress on Mark Owen's case?"
Luke nodded with a smile. "There's a sheriff named Big Nick on the county police's side. He might be willing to give me some information."
Elsa asked, "Who?"
Luke said, "He's the one who handed over the criminal to Mark Owen. Selina and I helped them catch the robbers yesterday. It seems to me that he wants to return the favor. "
Pondering for a moment, Elsa nodded, but she still reminded Luke, "Don't trust them too much. The county police are much more complicated than we are."
Luke naturally understood that.
While the county police's territory was about the same as that of downtown Los Angeles, the area they covered was too large. There were 42 cities in the county alone.
It was impossible for a person who could live like a fish in water to not have some shrewdness.
If they simply trusted these people's favors, they could only blame themselves for being stupid.
After saying that, Elsa didn't tell them to get lost. She changed the topic. "You still have a rather troublesome case on your hands, right?"
Luke thought for a moment. "The case of the girl in pajamas who was hit and killed?"
Elsa nodded solemnly. "I read the case file earlier and noticed something. Do you know who the driver of the car that hit and killed the girl is? "
Luke thought for a moment. "I think it's from a luxury sports car club? PrimeExotic？ Hehe, it's definitely the doing of some rich young masters who are passionate about certain special activities. "
The name of the club had two meanings.
It could be interpreted as an expensive and exquisite imported product, or it could be interpreted as the best stripper. When it was combined with a luxury sports car, it was obvious what it meant.
Elsa asked, "Do you know who's supporting this sports car club?"
Luke thought for a moment. "A bunch of rich young masters?"
Elsa nodded, then shook her head. "Most of the rich young masters who have fun in this club are just customers. They'll cause you some trouble at most, and the Major Crimes Division isn't scared of them. However, I do know that the person who's really 'close' to this club is called Dylan Elsworth. "
Luke hummed in response and waited for Elsa to continue.
Selina, however, interjected, "The Elsworth family?"
Elsa said, "It seems you've heard of it. Tell him the basic situation of the Elsworth family."
Selina said, "If it's the Elsworth family I know, I can only hope that they don't get involved."
Luke was intrigued. "How good are they?"
"Dylan Elsworth's father is Henry Elsworth, and his grandparents are Sheldon Elsworth and Doris Elsworth," said Selina.
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding?"
Sheldon Elsworth hadn't been famous in recent years, but Luke had seen the name before when he looked up information on Los Angeles. Twenty years ago, the man had stepped down as mayor of Los Angeles and continued to serve as a city councilor.
It wasn't until ten years ago that his son, Henry Elsworth, took over his position and continued to serve as a city councilor.
Doris Elsworth wasn't involved in politics, but she was on the board of several large charities in Los Angeles and was the founder of several women's rights organizations.
These organizations didn't have any real power, but a lot of celebrities and their wives and daughters were involved.
Selina nodded helplessly. "That should be it. If you're not sure, you've been to Elsworth Avenue, right? Or Elsworth Park in the east. They're all named after their families. "
