Chapter 334 Lakeside
The next morning.
"Buzz..."
A loud noise wakes Luke up.
Luke got up slowly, walked to the window and opened the curtains, and saw a helicopter landing on the farm.
Two people got off the helicopter and walked towards the villa. When they walked in, they saw a white woman in her fifties and a white boy in her thirteens and fourteens.
Luke has seen photos of the Cruise family. These two should be the daughter and grandson of Veron Cruise.
Fon Cruz's daughter is called Mariel, and she also disapproves of the marriage between Foon Cruz and Chanel Carr. She also has property inheritance rights and has enough motivation to write threatening letters.
Luke went to the dining room to have breakfast after washing up, thinking about taking the opportunity of having breakfast to get to know each other and talk alone.
What makes Luke a little depressed is that the Cruise family doesn't have the habit of having breakfast together.
Luke ate from beginning to end, but he didn't see the mother and child.
After the meal, Luke strolled around the manor.
Tired from walking, I drank tea in the yard and looked at the wilderness in the distance.
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, horses are neighing, green grass is green, and the sky is blue. It is a leisurely scene.
After nine o'clock in the morning, Luke finally saw the mother and child again.
The two changed into casual clothes, carrying fishing gear, fishing nets and fishing toolboxes, as if they wanted to go fishing.
Luke walked over and asked, "Hello, is this Ms. Marielle Cruise?"
The woman glanced at Luke, "It's me, who are you?"
"My name is Luke Lee, and I am a security consultant invited by Mr. Veron Cruise."
"I heard my father mention it, what's the matter with you?"
"I want to take a few minutes of your time to talk about that threatening letter."
Mariel Cruise smiled, "Do you suspect that I wrote the threatening letter? Or did my father mean it?"
"No, this is not directed at you, I will talk to everyone in the manor."
Marielle Cruise thought for a while, "Manny, I want to talk to Mr. Li alone."
"Mum, you promised to go fishing with me."
"I know, you go to the car and wait."
"You are like this every time." The boy complained and left angrily.
Marielle Cruz shook her head and sighed, "Children will never understand the distress of adults.
Mr. Li, you can speak, and you better hurry up.
You see, I'm fully booked for today. "
"Ms. Cruise, have you read that threatening letter?"
"Yes."
"What did you think of that threatening letter?"
"The tone of the letter is not very friendly, but... the engagement ceremony is indeed a bit absurd.
My father is seventy-five years old, and his grandson is already married. Now he wants to get engaged on a whim, which is too irrational. "
"You and the person who wrote the threatening letter agree."
Mariel Cruise smiled, "I know what you mean, I didn't write this letter, and I won't engage in such low-level things."
"Then who do you think wrote it?"
"Shouldn't this be your investigation?"
"Do you know who wrote the threatening letter?"
"have no idea."
Luke observed her expression and felt that the other party was lying.
"Ms. Cruise, if you know who wrote that threatening letter, I hope you can give me some clues.
Because judging from the tone of the threatening letter, the person who wrote the threatening letter may threaten the safety of Mr. Veron Cruise.
I know you don't want an engagement ceremony, but I'm sure you don't want to see your father hurt even more. "
Mariel Cruise stared at Luke, "You are right, my father's safety is the most important thing.
If you really value my father's safety, then you shouldn't focus your investigation on the threatening letter.
My father has been stubborn all his life, the more you don’t let him do something, the more he will do it. "
"Who do you think will threaten the safety of Mr. Veron Cruise?"
"Chanel Carr.
The purpose of this woman's engagement to my father was not pure.
If my father did marry her, it would be a disaster.
She is the one who will really hurt my father.
You should investigate her. "
"Can you tell me why?"
Mariel Cruise asked, "My father is 75 years old. Why do you think she would be willing to be with my father?"
Luke said, "Although Mr. Veron Cruz is old, he is still in good health, and he is a very charming person."
Mariel Cruise laughed, "Damn charisma, he just has a lot of money." Mariel Cruise added, "Don't tell him this, he will definitely fly into a rage."
"So, you think Chanel Carr is marrying your father for money."
"Not me, but everyone else."
"Ma'am, I'd love to believe you, but everything is evidence-based.
As far as I know, your father and Ms. Chanel Carr knew each other thirty years ago, and they have a certain emotional foundation. "
"Exactly.
But you also said that it was thirty years ago.
My father was a successful, wealthy, handsome middle-aged man, not an old man. "Marielle Cruz seemed a little impatient, and lowered her voice and said,
"OK, if you want evidence, I'll tell you.
Chanel Carr has a young male assistant, about thirty years old, and handsome.
I came across them by chance at the mall some time ago.
Chanel Carr put her arm around the male assistant, very intimate...their relationship is definitely not simple.
You should know what I mean. "
Luke pressed, "Does your father know about this?"
"No, I didn't tell him."
"Why don't you say? Don't you want them to separate?"
"Yes, I want them to separate.
Then what do you think I should say?
It is said that Chanelle Carr kept a pretty face outside, and she married you just to cheat your money, and then flew away with a good face.
He'd be mad. "Marielle Cruz lowered her voice and warned,
"So I won't admit it, you found this out yourself, understand?"
"clear."
"God, I don't want to talk about this anymore, let's just stop here or I'm going to be mad.
I didn’t expect to worry about such things at my age.
What a worry-free old man. "Mariel Cruise stood up and walked towards the villa.
"Where are you going, Mommy? You promised to go fishing with me?" Manny yelled.
"Sorry, honey. I'm not in the mood today, try another day."
"You can't do this, you promised me."
"Sorry, I will buy you a gift to compensate you.
Think it over and let me know. "Marielle Cruz finished speaking, waved her hand and entered the villa.
Manny complained, "I just want you to go fishing with me...no gift needed!"
I don't know if Mariel heard it, but she didn't respond.
Luke can see that Marielle Cruise's education method is simple and rude with money. What he lacks now is such a mother.
If there is such a mother, he has already chosen to lie flat.
Luke glanced at him and said with a smile, "You'd better go and play."
Manny scolded, "Shit, don't look at me like 'I don't care about adults'.
Isn’t that the threatening letter? As if who doesn't know? "
"You also know about that threatening letter?"
"Yes."
"Have you read that threatening letter?"
"Yes."
"But according to Mr. Veron Cruz, only two people have read the threatening letter, and you are not on the list."
"Believe it or not is up to you?"
"Do you know who wrote that threatening letter?"
"Want to know?"
"certainly."
Manny winked, "I wrote it."
"Wow, the person who wrote the threatening letter has been found, and I can report to Mr. Veron Cruise."
Manny mocked, "Idiot, I'm kidding you, you don't really believe what a child says."
"A lot of truths are said in jokes." Luke has been staring at the other party, and there is no sign of lying from the other party's expression, that is to say, what he said is likely to be true.
Manny asked, "Then what are you going to do? Take me to my grandfather and tell him that I wrote the threatening letter.
comeon, if you can't catch the person who actually wrote the threatening letter, just take a child as the top of the tank.
You security consultant is really capable. "
"You are right, you are just a child, I overestimated you."
Manny retorted, "You're overestimating yourself.
It's been several days, and you can't find any clues.
Why don't you go fishing with me? "
"Why did you invite me to fish?"
Manny said, "Because I can't drive."
"Why should I be your driver?"
"It's you who drove my mommy away. It's still far from the lake. Do you want me to walk there?"
"OK, I'll take you there."
Manny threw the car keys to him, "Be careful, you won't be able to afford it if you hit it."
Luke caught it, it was a Bentley car key, he had never driven this car before, so being a free driver would be worth it.
Luke got into the Bentley. The decoration inside the car was very luxurious, high-grade and high-grade.
Manny was sitting in the passenger cab, showing a look of contempt, "Can you do it?"
Luke won’t let a kid look down on him. Just drive blindly. It’s not his car anyway. Adjust the seat, step on the brake, start the car, kick the accelerator, and go straight out.
"Woooooooooooo..."
The car is comfortable to drive and has plenty of power.
More importantly, there is only one car on the entire road, and Luke can drive as much as he wants without worrying about speeding.
But in just a few minutes, the car drove to the lake. To be honest, Luke hasn't had his best time yet.
But he still has business to do, and it's not too late to go racing around when he returns.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and the two got out of the car and walked to the lake with fishing tools. The lake water was very clear, and seaweed grew by the lake, and a few wild ducks swam by from a distance.
"Come this way." Manny walked to a wooden platform that stretched to the middle of the lake. The surrounding lake was relatively deep, making it a good fishing spot.
Afterwards, Manny opened the fishing tackle and toolbox very skillfully.
Luke asked curiously, "Why do you like fishing? It's not something you should play at your age."
Manny hooked up the bait and skillfully cast out the fishing rod, "My mommy is very busy, she is either on the company or on the phone, so she rarely has time for me.
In fact, it is she who likes fishing, not me.
I just want to be around her..."
Luke said, "It makes me cry."
"Come on, people like you can't."
"What kind of person do you think I am?"
"I don't know, he's not a good person anyway."
"It seems that you have a lot of prejudice against me." Luke picked up a stone to waste it.
"You ruined my alone time with Mommy, which may be nothing to you, but precious to me.
Maybe when I go back, she has already taken a helicopter to the airport, and then flew to the other side of the world. "
"Sorry, I didn't expect it to affect you."
Suddenly, the float moved, and Manny stood up and began to pull the fishing rod hard, "Bite the hook.
Tali likes eating the fish I catch the most. "
"Who is Tully?"
"My mother's pet, a female cat that has just been neutered."
Luke "…"
"Hey, fish it out for me with a fishing net."
Luke picked up the fishing net, walked to the edge of the platform, and leaned over to catch fish.
Suddenly, Manny raised his foot and kicked Luke, kicking him directly into the lake.
"Plop."
Luke fell into the water and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
Manny laughed, "Idiot, I didn't think I could drive.
Let you run over to make trouble, take a good bath in the lake, and run back by yourself. "
Luke struggled a few times, as if he had been hooked by seaweed, and sank directly.
Manny was also stunned. He just wanted to teach Luke a lesson, but he didn't want to kill him.
"Hey Luke, can't you swim?
Answer me, where are you? "
Seeing that there was no movement in the water, Manny panicked a little. He knelt on the platform and fished in the water with a fishing net, as if hoping that Luke would catch the fishing net and get out of the water.
"Fuck!
he died.
God, I didn't mean to hurt him.
How could he drown when he was so tall? Manny became more and more flustered, and shouted to the surroundings, "Come on, someone fell into the water here." "
Then, there is no one else around at all.
Manny leaned half his body off the platform, and stretched the fishing net into the deeper lake water.
Suddenly, a shadow floated under the water, and the water splashed Manny's face.
Then, he felt a big hand grabbing his arm and pulling it down forcefully.
With a "plop", Manny also fell into the lake.
"Poof..."
Manny waved his hands indiscriminately, "I can't swim, save me!"
"help me."
After Luke fell into the lake, he dived directly to the bottom of the lake to observe secretly.
He dragged Manny into the water, while he grabbed the wooden frame, climbed onto the platform, sat on the edge of the platform, and watched Manny struggling in the lake.
"I can't swim, save me!"
"Gurrrrrr..." Manny choked on water.
Luke held the fishing rod, let him grab the fishing rod, dragged him to the side of the platform, and smiled, "How does it feel to fall into the water?"
Manny held the fishing rod in both hands, looked at Luke who was playing with him on the platform, and said angrily, "You idiot, quickly drag me up."
"It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet." Luke smiled, stepped on Manny's head with his right foot, and stepped him into the lake.
"Gurrrrrrr..."
Manny struggled hard to no avail, and choked on water again.
