Chapter 122 Because of Love

Wharton's home is quite big, but it's just a high-end community in downtown Los Angeles, but it's not luxurious yet.

The decoration in the room is also relatively ordinary. It has everything that a middle-class family should have, but there is absolutely nothing that shouldn't be there.

"Sit down and you can have something to drink. There's whiskey, tequila, and brandy here. Linda likes to have a glass of red wine before going to bed, but I'd rather drink beer."

Wharton took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, and then he said to Gao Guang and the others: "If you want to drink strong liquor, why don't you drink beer with me?"

Gao Guang chose beer, and Mike did the same, but Francisco shook his head seriously.

Wharton looked at Francisco and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Hey, man, what's wrong with you? Your mouth is bleeding. Did they hit you?"

Francisco shook his head. He looked at Gao Guang. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "No one hit me, I bit it myself."

Gao Guang also said with a concerned look: "Why do you bite yourself?"

Francisco said with a deep look on his face: "Because I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak. My previous boss told me that I'm a big mouth and can't keep secrets. If I go to a place like the police station, I'd better say a word." Don't say anything, so I have to bite my mouth hard to prevent myself from saying anything."

So, Francisco’s answer still surprised Gao Guang, but after thinking about it, he felt that with Francisco’s IQ, the best choice was to say nothing.

"Well, good job, keep it up."

Gao Guang affirmed Francisco's approach. If you don't know what to say and what not to say, it's best not to say anything. This will save a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the door opened, and Linda and Gao Guang rushed back.

Linda was a very aloof middle-aged woman in F.C., unsmiling and serious, but after returning home and seeing a few people sitting in a row on the sofa, she first managed to smile. He nodded to a few people, and then said very gently: "Hello."

Wharton sat on the sofa, waved to Linda, and said loudly: "My dear, sit down and have a drink together. What do you want to drink?"

Linda hesitated for a moment, but still smiled apologetically at Gao Guang and the others, and said, "Sorry, I have to accompany you for a while. My dear, come with me, okay?"

Gao Guang thought Linda would speak to Wharton in a commanding tone. In his imagination, this was how Wharton and her should get along. Regardless of age or status, Linda was much older than Wharton.

But Linda was acting like a gentle little girl at the moment. She was asking Wharton to leave with her, not asking Wharton to follow her.

Wharton stood up and said helplessly to Gao Guang and the others: "Okay, it seems my girlfriend has something to tell me. Everyone, we will be back soon."

They smiled apologetically at Gao Guang again. Linda and Wharton walked into the bedroom. Then, after Linda thought for a while, she said very quietly to Wharton: "My dear, you made it difficult for me today." Handle it, as a senior member of the Los Angeles Police Department, I go to f*ck someone, you know what this means, right?”

Wharton frowned, so Linda hurriedly said: "I'm not blaming you, but there is no need to handle today's matter like this. My dear, the person they involved is an arms dealer, and the person behind that arms dealer The forces are very complicated, and since they are involved, it means that their backgrounds are equally complicated.”

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Wharton didn't seem dissatisfied, but he asked Linda seriously, and after Linda hesitated for a moment, she whispered: "Yes, dear, I am indeed teaching you how to deal with such a problem. Don't be angry, but I shouldn't use my position to force people to ask for people. The impact is very bad, and in this way I owe some favors, and I will have to find opportunities to repay them in the future. I'm not saying that your friends are not important. But it’s not necessary to owe a favor for such a small thing.”

Wharton nodded, and then he said seriously: "Linda, listen to me, I know you shouldn't be asked to bring them back, but you asked beforehand, you know there will be no problem, right? Then, Linda, they are my friends. Although we have not known each other for a short time, they are indeed my friends, and they are not gangsters, they run companies.”

Linda sighed softly and said, "I know they are not gangsters, but there is no need..."

"Hear me out."

Linda stopped talking immediately.

"Now let's talk about why I want to help them. In addition to them being my friends, it's also because they can help me. Gao's suggestions are very feasible. By working with him, I can quickly get the credit needed for promotion. Finally, The main thing is that this can really make money, even a lot of money, and I can do this as a career.”

After Wharton finished speaking calmly, he grabbed Linda's shoulders with both hands and whispered: "It's useless to just talk about some things. We have to show sincerity and let them see your energy. Let them have the courage to turn their ideas into practical actions. That's why I let you come forward. My dear, this opportunity is rare. Because there is no real risk, that's why I let you go. Do you think I don't care about your situation at all? ?"

Linda smiled, and then she whispered with some shame: "You should have told me earlier. You have thought carefully. I'm sorry, dear, I shouldn't have..."

"Why are you saying sorry?" Wharton stopped Linda and said gently: "Now go out and meet my friends."

Wharton came out holding Linda's hand, then he hugged Linda's waist with a proud face and said loudly: "Gentlemen, let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend Linda, or fiancée, if If nothing else, we will get married this year.”

Gao Guang and the others all stood up, then Wharton pointed at Gao Guang and said: "This is Gao Guang, Gao, my girlfriend, you have met her once."

Gao Guang walked forward, stretched out his hand, and said to Linda: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Wharton was several years older than Gao Guang, and Linda was his girlfriend, and she was engaged to get married, so Gao Guang thought it was appropriate for him to call her sister-in-law.

But Linda was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled all over her face, shook hands with Gao Guang and said: "Hello, Wharton often talks about you, and I heard today that you defeated the SWAT team in the training camp. Oh, nice to meet you."

Wharton also smiled happily and said: "Mike, he is a star, this is Francisco, they are all my friends."

Needless to say, Mike's emotional intelligence was such that he could say a series of compliments for free, but when it came to Francisco, something went wrong.

Francisco looked at Linda and said nothing. He didn't say anything when shaking hands. He bit his lips tightly. He knew something bad was wrong at the first glance. This guy definitely didn't have anything good to say, and he also knew that it wasn't something good, so I didn't dare to say anything.

Linda let go of Francisco's hand and said with concern and a little alert: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Francisco shook his head, but then nodded again. Gao Guang said quickly from the side: "He's not feeling well."

"No."

Francisco suddenly spoke, and he said to Gao Guang: "I'm fine, I just think she is different from what I thought. I thought she was a very annoying old-fashioned old woman, but she is younger than I thought. She’s much more beautiful, very powerful, and very gentle. She doesn’t look like an old woman at all. It would be great if I could find such a wife.”

After speaking in one breath, Francisco suddenly shut up and then covered his mouth with his hands.

Seeing Linda's extremely surprised look, Francisco let go of his hand and said with a painful look on his face: "I'm sorry, I, my brain is not working very well."

Gao Guang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, he is not very smart. I'm sorry, this, uh, we..."

Gao Guang was about to cry, but Mike's eyes widened, his dark face getting darker, while Wharton stood there dumbfounded.

He was so panicked, his heart rate was at least 180. Now he was not only scared, but also felt embarrassed. The intense attack of embarrassment left him at a loss.

Linda suddenly laughed, and then she said to Francisco: "Am I really as good as you say?"

Francisco had a look of pain on his face. He hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and said resolutely: "I swear to God, if I lie, I will fall into hell immediately. I'm sorry, I'm really stupid." It’s not easy to use and I can’t speak, so I usually don’t speak.”

Linda actually seemed a little shy, but Wharton hugged Linda's waist again and said with a smile: "Okay, you can stop talking now, lest my girlfriend will be too shy, but you are right, there are many People are surprised when they hear our age difference, and that’s because they have no idea what a perfect woman Linda is.”

Wharton sat down and gave Linda a hand, and then Linda sat next to him, looking like a little woman.

Linda is the third most powerful person in the Los Angeles Police Department, and can manage thousands of people under her command. To say that she is high and powerful is not an exaggeration.

But now, Linda is just a little woman in love. To say she is like a little girl is not an exaggeration.

Why, why is this?

Because of love, this is the power of love.

Gao Guang suddenly realized why Wharton was able to chase Linda.

Everyone saw Linda because of her status, but only Wharton really regarded her girlfriend as a woman, and then they started falling in love. It was as simple as that.

After thinking it through, Gao Guang let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Wharton and Linda: "When are you going to get married, be sure to tell me when the time comes. I will give you a gift."

"The specific wedding date has not been decided yet. We are currently planning to get married in September."

Wharton smiled happily. Linda was not as shy as a little girl, but it was obvious that she was really happy, so she looked at Wharton with a doting look on her face and said, "Yes, Wharton thinks September is better. After the date is set, we will officially invite you to the wedding.”

"Definitely, definitely, you must participate."

At this time, Wharton waved his hand and said: "Now let's get down to business. My dear, tell them the results of your investigation."

The Linda who we met for the first time was an old beauty. However, Linda at home was not exactly enthusiastic, but she was still a breath of fresh air. She smiled and said: "I checked, North Hollywood has hired armed forces. There are 223 stores with security guards, and the stores that hire security guards are relatively large. There are even more stores without professional security guards, but they are all small stores and have little commercial value. "

Such an investigation is very easy and direct. Gao Guang nodded and said: "A lot."

When it came to business, Linda's expression became a little more serious, but Wharton looked at her affectionately. After the two looked at each other, Linda's face was full of smile again and she said: "But plus the West Hollywood District In the Hollywood District, there are 804 stores with armed security, which is a considerable number.”

Wharton said to Gaoguang: "Is this base number okay?"

"Yes, yes, very yes."

Gao Guang nodded repeatedly, and then he said with a serious face: "I will also investigate later to see how much money these stores need to spend on security every month, and how many stores are at risk of being robbed frequently."

Linda smiled and said: "These police stations have complete information. I have compiled the alarm records in the past three years. You can take a look at the information and use it as a reference."

What else could he say? Gao Guang felt that everyone had finished their work and it was time for him to go for a run. Otherwise, what use would he have?

The senior official said seriously: "In this case, I will conduct a business survey tomorrow to find out how much money they need to spend."

Linda smiled again and said: "It takes too long for you to collect the materials yourself. It is better to let the Investigation and Analysis Department do a statistics. It is more convenient for them to do this work, and the time to get feedback will be shorter."

Wharton smiled and said: "Yeah, I think you should focus on the people who received the stolen goods, what do you think?"

Gao Guang really had nothing to say. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll investigate it tomorrow."

"There are still some people who collect and sell stolen goods who have connections in the police station. I can give you a list. It will definitely not be complete, but it can also save some time. These people need you to communicate with them."

Linda became a little serious again, but she quickly relaxed and smiled: "I believe you can do a good job."

If you can't do the remaining things well, then you don't have to cooperate with others. Gao Guang said seriously: "Of course, this is what we are good at."

"Also, legal issues are best solved by you. I can introduce you to a good lawyer, or do you have a good candidate?"

He said very calmly: "I don't have a lawyer currently, so you should recommend a lawyer to me. I'll talk to him first."

Gao Guang has become numb. With a girlfriend like Linda, it would be unreasonable for Wharton to fail. Of course, it would be unreasonable for him to fail.
