Led by a servant, Luke and Selina entered the main building of the luxurious manor.
Luke was unperturbed.
He could still move freely in the face of Tony Stark's venomous tongue.
No matter how capable Thompson was, could he be more capable than Tony Stark?
It was hard for Luke to fear a bigshot who wasn't special at all.
In the end … less than half an hour later, Luke and Selina were sent off by the host.
There was no such thing as sending guests off with tea in America.
However, the missing Miss Thompson's younger brother, Rupert, came out impatiently. After saying a few words, he said that he wanted to go to the back garden for coffee and left the two of them there.
Thankfully, Luke had already achieved his goal.
Before Rupert left for coffee, he allowed Luke and Selina to visit his sister Beth's room, but only with the "accompaniment" of two maids, and they weren't allowed to enter the room or touch any personal belongings.
After they got into the car, Jenny looked at Luke apologetically. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect him to receive us."
Luke waved his hand casually. "At least he didn't spit at me, or take off his pants and shake his butt."
Jenny burst out laughing. "He's a young master, not a hooligan."
Luke shrugged. "So, his attitude isn't bad at all. Even if it was ten times worse, it wouldn't matter."
Looking at Luke's expression, and seeing that he really didn't look angry, Jenny sighed and explained, "Rupert was born to Malachi's current wife. Miss Beth was born to his first wife, who passed away, so … "
Luke hugged her. "I know. I don't like men, let alone this young master. "
As soon as he heard this, he understood at once the reason for Ginny's forlorn look.
Would Jenny's half-brother end up like this with his sister when he grew up? It was hard to say.
Jenny hummed a response, but still frowned and shook her head. "But Malachi still" values "Miss Beth. Why would he let a playboy like Rupert receive us? It'd be more reliable to have the butler send us off. "
Luke rubbed her forehead. "Alright, you'll get forehead wrinkles if you frown for too long."
Jenny exclaimed and immediately took out a mirror from her bag. She looked at her forehead and said, "I think I do have some. Oh my god, I'm only 21 years old. I don't want to grow old so quickly. "
Seeing how worried she was, Luke said, "Then don't think too much about her family. In any case, I'm going to look for him. If I can find him, it'll be good for us. If I can't, then we'll just keep going. This isn't a matter of life and death, so don't worry too much about it. "
Jenny was lost for words. Only someone like you can ignore the development of a multibillion-dollar company, right?
On their way back to Los Angeles, Luke decided to make a trip.
Rescuing Miss Beth Patrick Thompson was just a side goal.
Based on what Jenny knew, the Thompson family had also sent people to search for the young lady.
When Luke arrived, it was possible that the young lady was already safe and sound, and was enjoying coffee in a five-star hotel.
The efficiency of the combination of money and power was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Given the current situation of the phone company, Jenny could be considered to have entered the ranks of the rich and indirectly powerful.
Using some connections, she easily got Luke on a private plane two hours later for a direct flight to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Luke had already called Elsa to ask for leave.
Elsa didn't ask any more questions after briefly mentioning Councilwoman Thompson's name.
There was no way she would stop Luke from expanding his connections, especially with such a powerful senator.
Also, Luke's leave wasn't long; it was only two days.
In two days, it would be a three-day weekend with America's National Day (July 4th). The police academy would also be on holiday, and he could put aside his task of inspecting the students.
Elsa simply told him not to overdo it, before she hung up.
He didn't need to tell Selina much; they had already discussed it yesterday.
He just had to tell Claire, or she would definitely complain about him sneaking out to play.
It was one thing to say hello and go on a business trip openly; she wouldn't cause trouble for no reason.
On the private plane, the two flight attendants had already taken turns asking Luke if he needed any services.
For example, "coffee or tea."
Both young and beautiful flight attendants had said the same thing.
Luke could only say with a smile, "Give me a pot of tea. Green tea would be best."
Naturally, they weren't here just for the money.
He had always been low-key. It was obvious that he wasn't poor, but he didn't look extravagant either.
However, he was able to sit on this private plane alone. At first glance, he looked handsome, and the more they looked at him, the more pleasing he was to the eye. No wonder the two flight attendants almost said "or".
No wonder the two flight attendants almost said "or me."
After receiving Luke's clear refusal, the two flight attendants tactfully didn't disturb him again.
If they could do this, they couldn't be too stupid.
Some passengers might look forward to certain services, but some passengers who had something on their minds would hate this kind of "harassment."
They didn't want to lose this easy and high-paying job, which might even lead to a meteoric rise one day.
Luke also had some peace and quiet. He sat in his seat and read the files.
It had to be said that a private plane was much better than a commercial plane in this regard; it didn't take up any time at all.
Unlike his last trip to Paris, Luke was now very strong. The jet lag basically didn't affect him at all, and he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.
During the twelve-hour flight, he had plenty of time to read up on a lot of relevant information and come up with a plan for the upcoming search operation.
It was already afternoon when Luke arrived in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
The reason why he set off from Warsaw was that Miss Beth of the Thompson family and her two classmates had begun their "free-wheeling trip" from here.
Miss Beth was an art student at a university who had come to Europe to sketch with her teachers and classmates during the break. She had told her family that she was taking advantage of the break to go on a trip for two days.
Apparently, before she disappeared, she had told her bodyguard that she was going to Prague.
This was a normal itinerary.
If she went to Poland, she had to go to Warsaw.
If she went to the Czech Republic, she had to go to Prague.
It was similar to visiting the Forbidden City and the Great Wall when you arrived in Beijing.
In fact, she and her two classmates had mysteriously left an express hotel in Warsaw early in the morning without notifying the security guards. They didn't realize that she was gone until a few hours later.
They couldn't get in touch with her phone, and their car was parked in the hotel parking lot.
Only the empty room and the hotel receptionist's words proved that they hadn't been coerced, and had left on their own. The surveillance footage also proved that.
Of course, Luke had no way of knowing that.
He didn't have a suitable identity in Poland, and couldn't use most of the methods he used to handle cases, which was a little troublesome.
