Chapter 336 Convincing people with reasoning
Cruise Manor.
Early in the morning, Luke was awakened by the messy sounds in the manor.
Today is the day of Veron Cruise and Chanel Carr's engagement, and if nothing else, it will be Luke's last day at the manor.
As long as the engagement ceremony is ensured, the $200,000 commission will be paid.
Luke got up and washed up and inspected the manor. There were a lot of new faces in the manor. Most of them were preparing for the engagement ceremony, preparing food, setting up the scene, makeup artists, etc.
Luke turned around and found nothing unusual, so he simply ran to the restaurant to eat, just in time to see the bad boy Manny eating too.
Luke ordered breakfast to the servant next to him, poured a cup of coffee from the coffee pot, and said hello, "Hi, buddy, good morning."
Manny pouted, "I don't want to talk to you."
Luke laughed, "Your expression is like that of a little girl who got **** off."
"There were so many people eating last night, and I cleaned the dishes. I feel like my hands are peeling off. This is all because of you."
"Sorry, I missed your masturbation."
"You're such an asshole."
"That's what bad people say about me."
"If I'm the bad guy, what are you?"
"I am a bad person who bullies bad people, and I am a good person.
Like Captain America.
You can call me Captain Los Angeles. "
"No, you are not the captain, the captain will not bully minors."
"So he's dead and I'm alive."
"The captain didn't die, he just stayed in the past and was with the person he loved. This ending is very romantic, and the director is very imaginative."
"I don't care if he dies or goes back in time.
It doesn’t matter whether it is a minor or a woman, as long as he/she dares to kick me into the lake, he/she must be prepared to be beaten. "
Manny laughed, "Have you ever hit a woman?"
“Not yet, because women like me and they want to take a bath with me more than kick me in a lake.”
Manny "…"
"I'm here for breakfast, not to listen to your bragging."
"I'm not bragging. I'm handsome, rich, famous, and prestigious. Many women like me."
"So, your private life is a mess."
"I'm not that kind of person, most of my energy is spent on work, very busy."
"Have you always been a detective?"
"My job is to be a police officer."
"It should be difficult to become rich with the income of the police."
“No matter what industry you are in, as long as you become a leader in this industry, making money is just a matter of incident.”
"Will we meet again in the future?"
"No, I will leave the manor when your grandfather's engagement ceremony ends.
In the future, you'd better not meet me again. "
"Why? You still hit me?"
"Beating you is a trivial matter. I am usually only responsible for major criminal cases. Simply put, I deal with dead people."
"Have you ever killed someone?"
Luke smiled, "What day are you referring to?"
"OK, pretend I didn't ask."
After some 'friendly' exchanges, the relationship between the two eased a lot.
Even, Luke has a feeling that this kid already adores himself a little bit.
That's right, I'm handsome, majestic, and able to fight, isn't he the object of young people's admiration?
…
Throughout the morning, Cruise Manor was busy.
The engagement ceremony was held at 10:30 am and ended at 1:30 pm.
At nine o'clock in the morning, guests arrived at the manor one after another.
Von Cruise and Chanel Carr stood at the gate of the manor to greet them.
Luke also secretly observed the demeanor and behavior of the two, and found that the relationship between the two was getting closer.
It seems that the two should have communicated last night, and the result was not bad.
After all, it is a private matter, and Luke has no intention of asking.
However, Luke also has his own guesses about why Chanel Carl concealed it.
The first possibility is that the clues found by Luke and Orti are just a coincidence, and Galken is not Chanel Carr's child.
This is extremely unlikely, but not impossible.
The second possibility is that Galken is indeed the child of Chanel Karl, but Chanel Karl had to hide it for some reason.
Luke speculates that it may be related to the industry that Chanel Carr is engaged in. Chanel Carr was an actor before, and perhaps she concealed the truth about her out-of-wedlock childbirth for her own future and career.
It may sound ridiculous now, but this happened more than 30 years ago, and the Hollywood atmosphere at that time was not as open as it is now.
Actually, even Hollywood today is not as open as imagined.
As far as taking out the cabinet is concerned, Hollywood is very tolerant on the surface, as if this kind of thing is not a problem in Hollywood, and it can even be buffed.
But in private, the impact is still great.
As for why Chanel Karl didn’t tell Fern Cruz about Garken, first of all, Chanel Karl is not short of money. Although his assets are not as good as Fern Cruz’s, he is also very rich.
The second reason should be from the children of Veron Cruz.
In the case that Chanel Karl has no children, the children of Veron Cruise are opposed to their marriage. If they know that Chanel Karl has a son, the children of Veron Cruise will definitely object even more.
If this child was born to their father, the property of the two of them may shrink by nearly half, and it is estimated that there will be a catastrophe.
As long as Chanel Karl and Fern Cruz get married and have more chances to get along with each other in the future, it will be a matter of course to tell Fern Cruz about Galken.
Of course, this kind of thing is relatively simple to think of, but it is actually not easy to do.
In Luke's view, this engagement ceremony is just the beginning, and the family will become more and more lively in the future.
There is no fuel-efficient lamp.
"Jingle Bell…"
Luke's cell phone rang, and he glanced at the screen, it was the number of the informant Alec Lauer.
"Hi, I'm Luke."
"Boss, you guessed it right, that guy is driving to the southern suburbs of Los Angeles."
"Send me a location."
"OK."
Luke hung up the phone and received the location location from Alec Lauer.
Three days ago, Daisy found Luke and said that her biological father, Lawrence Miller, came to the law firm to borrow money. Daisy refused, and Lawrence Miller left without making a fuss or speaking harshly. .
This made her feel uneasy, so she asked Luke for help.
Luke let his informant stare at Lawrence Miller.
Luke guessed that he was probably the one who wrote the threatening letter to Hill Crews (the employer's son).
As for the reason, Hill Cruise's current wife, Isabel Cruise, is Lawrence Miller's ex-wife, who is Daisy's mother.
According to the situation investigated by Orti.
Daisy's mother divorced Lawrence Miller 18 years ago, and then raised Daisy alone. She married Hill Cruise 14 years ago and gave birth to her youngest daughter, Irene.
That's why Luke felt that Isabel Cruz was very familiar when he met Isabel Cruz for the first time.
Luke found Veron Cruise, "Mr. Cruise, can you take a step to speak?"
"certainly."
The two walked aside, and Luke said, "Mr. Cruise, I received news that someone might come to make trouble at the engagement ceremony. I want to borrow a car to intercept him?"
"Who? Why did the other party do this?"
"This person is most likely not targeting you.
But your family has a big business and a lot of relatives.
As the patriarch of the family, some people will inevitably accuse you of grievances. As long as your engagement ceremony is disrupted, the entire Cruise family will lose face. "
"This group of guys is really worrying." Cruise frowned slightly, "Do you need anything else?"
"No, as long as a car is enough. The detective agency will have other people to support me."
"Thanks for your hard work.
I'll ask Tom to take you to the garage, where you can pick the cars you want. "
"Sounds good."
…
A few minutes later, a Hummer H2SUT drove out of the manor.
This is a high-powered pickup truck, Luke now has a motorcycle, a car, and lacks a pickup truck.
This kind of car is very suitable for driving in the suburbs. It has a tall body, sufficient horsepower, and large space. It feels more comfortable to drive than a Bentley. The only disadvantage is that the fuel consumption is too high.
After driving for a certain distance, Luke saw a black Honda car driving from the opposite side, and then reduced the speed of the car, shifting the car laterally to block it in the middle of the lane.
The black Honda car stopped, and a white man in his fifties got out of the car. Although he was not young, he was still handsome. He cursed, "Can you **** drive? Why did you stop in the middle of the road?"
Luke jumped out of the car and smiled, "Hey buddy, long time no see."
"Smells so much alcohol, how much have you drank?" Before Luke got close, he smelled alcohol.
"I drank a glass of beer, sober." The man said perfunctorily, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to attend a friend's engagement ceremony, how about you?"
"Hehe." The man smiled, and asked without answering, "Did you come with Daisy?"
This white man is Daisy's biological father, Lawrence Miller.
"No, Mr. Veron Cruise invited me here."
"It's really surprising. It turns out that you have also climbed into the Cruise family. That's right. It's better to find a rich father-in-law than someone like me.
This world is still so realistic, it is staged over and over again, and I never get tired of it. "
"Daisy didn't know I was here, and she didn't even say anything about her mother reorganizing the family.
I'm not here for Daisy, at least not just for her. "
"Then I would like to know, what is the relationship between you and the Cruise family?"
“We’re not talking about the same Cruise.
My employer is Veron Crews.
He wanted to get engaged to a woman, but was opposed by many people. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the engagement ceremony, Mr. Veron Cruise hired a security team.
I am part of this security team. "
"Sure enough, like father, like son, they are all **** who like to steal other people's wives and children."
"Mr. Miller, please leave, Mr. Veron Cruise does not want you to attend his engagement ceremony."
"I don't care if he wants it or not, his son married my ex-wife, and even instigated my daughter to change her surname.
They the Cruise family are going to take my lawyer daughter.
Daisy is unwilling to get close to me and unwilling to help her younger brother. Her mother and the Cruise family must be behind the instigation.
My son is in jail, my life is a mess, and the old Cruise family wants to get engaged at this old age.
Do you think the world is fair? "
Luke said, "I've only met Hill Cruise and Daisy's mother. Although I'm not familiar with them, from what I know indirectly, Daisy and the Cruise family are not close.
Daisy also did not attend the engagement ceremony of Mr. Fern Cruise. Daisy changed her surname because she was disappointed with some of your actions. Moreover, she changed her grandfather's surname to Ellis, not Cruise.
So, things are not going the way you think. "
"That's just what you see, or what they want you to see, not necessarily the truth."
"OK, I'll tell you what the truth is.
You are jealous that your ex-wife lives better than you, so you write threatening letters to her husband, and you plan to make trouble at her father-in-law's engagement ceremony.
Am i right? "
"They called the police? Do you have evidence?"
"Did you see my police badge?"
"No."
"That's right, I am not communicating with you as a policeman, but as a friend to persuade you not to make trouble."
"If I'm looking for trouble."
"Listen, I'm here to help you.
Mr. Veron Cruz hired more than me as the security team.
Other people can't talk like me, understand? "
Lawrence Miller asked, "How do you want to help me?"
"It won't do you any good if you go to the Cruise Manor to make trouble. The Cruise family has no face, and you are equally disgraceful.
This is completely detrimental to others. "
Lawrence Miller patted himself on the cheek, "I have nothing to lose, I don't care if I am honorable or not, as long as I can disgust the Cruise family and let others know the shamelessness of this family, my purpose is Reached.
They won't make me feel better, and neither will they. "
"Listen, it won't do you any good to have a feud with such a family. Besides, it will embarrass Daisy."
"That stinky girl became a lawyer and looked down on my useless dad, so why should I care about her." Lawrence Miller snorted and said disapprovingly,
"Do you think you can send me away with a few nice words?"
Sure enough, some people only believe what they want to believe, Luke can only change his mind, "I can give you two options, option A, I will give you five hundred dollars, you buy a plane ticket to leave Los Angeles, and don't come back in a short time .
Option B, I will give you fifty dollars, find a bar and have a few drinks, think about it.
If you figure it out, just leave; if you can’t figure it out, you can come back to trouble the Cruise family. "
Luke proposed two options, which also have different purposes.
Option A is not only to keep Lawrence Miller from affecting the engagement ceremony, but also to hope that he will not bother Daisy.
Option B, let Lawrence Miller not affect the engagement ceremony, Luke successfully completed the entrusted task, and got the commission.
After today, the engagement ceremony is over, and if he makes trouble again, it has nothing to do with Luke.
Lawrence Miller poked his neck and asked, "What if I choose neither?"
Luke said coldly, "If you don't choose, you're throwing away my job, and it's a personal grievance."
"What do you want? Hit me?"
"You can try."
The two looked at each other for a moment, Lawrence Miller smiled, "OK, I'll save you, I'll choose A."
"Very good." Luke took out five hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to the other party. "Take my money, follow the rules, and buy a plane ticket to leave Los Angeles."
"I will."
"Good luck." Luke turned and left.
"Hey, say hello to Daisy for me."
Luke waved his hand and drove away in the Humvee.
"Fuck, I drive such a nice car, five hundred dollars is going to send me.
Like the Cruise family, they are all inhumane guys. "Lawrence Miller turned around and left.
He drove about two miles, getting more and more angry, complaining, "Who does he think he is? Five hundred dollars to send me?
Will five hundred dollars get my son out? "
Lawrence Miller became more and more angry, reduced the speed of the car, turned around and drove towards Cruise Manor again.
It’s just that this time he was smarter, worried about being blocked by Luke again, turned right into a small road, and wanted to take a detour to the Cruise Manor.
Lawrence Miller has been vigilant ahead, worried that Luke will intercept again.
After driving for more than ten minutes, there was no abnormality ahead, Lawrence Miller also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said, "Idiot, do you really think that five hundred dollars can get rid of me?
Lao Tzu is so worthless in your heart. "
Through the windshield, he saw a big house in the distance, felt a little agitated and uneasy, and took a deep breath, "The Cruise family, I'm here.
You won’t make me feel better, and I won’t make you feel better. "
"Woooo..." Suddenly, a black Ford sped up from behind, and after overtaking, it stopped in front of the black Honda.
"Fuck, can you idiot know how to drive?" Lawrence Miller, who was already angry, couldn't help but curse.
The black Ford slowed down and stopped Lawrence Miller's Honda.
A black man got out of the Ford car, and it was Luke's informant, Alec Lauer.
Lawrence Miller asked, "Is there something wrong with you? Why don't you stop my car?"
Alex Lauer asked, "Man, where are you going?"
"What does this have to do with you? Let's go our own way, don't make trouble." Lawrence Miller shook his fist.
Anleke Lauer asked, "Are you going to Cruise Manor?"
Lawrence Miller frowned, dissatisfied, "What does this have to do with you?"
"You have received Mr. Li's money, you have to abide by the agreement with him.
You can’t take the money and smash other people’s jobs. "
"What if I have to go?"
"boom!"
He was answered with a right uppercut.
Anleke Lauer was not used to him, so he knocked him to the ground with a punch, and rode on him and beat him up.
"Ah! Why did you sneak up on me, you bastard?
I'm not easy to mess with either.
fuck, you can't do this to me..." Lawrence Miller was beaten up, he was a little stiff at first, and then he begged for mercy.
"Stop hitting, please, stop hitting.
I'm not going to Cruise Manor anymore.
I'm leaving now. "
After Anleke Lauer finished typing, he found five hundred dollars from his pocket and put them in his pocket.
Lawrence Miller shouted, "That's mine."
Anlek Lauer spat, "You don't deserve the money."
"You can't do this to me."
"I can."
"I want to call the police."
"I don't care, just treat it as a vacation.
When I get out of there, you'll be beaten worse, I promise. "Anlek Lauer pointed to the black Honda car,
"Get in your car and get the **** out of here."
