Chapter 106 Aha, Look What I Caught

Now Selena's daily expenses are basically in cash, otherwise her "little treasury" with gold bullion will be useless.

Luke specially asked Ginny to pay a small end-of-year dividend to the shareholders of the mobile phone company not long ago. The number was not large, but Selena also made hundreds of thousands of income.

Compared with last year, Selena has too much money in her hand, so she naturally chooses to buy some good gifts for her family.

The things she bought last year were not cheap, but they were all normal household necessities, such as clothing, accessories, drinks, home appliances and the like.

This year, the gift she prepared for her father, Marino, was an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Watch, which cost around $20,000, not too expensive—because her mother, Sandra, gave a diamond necklace that cost $50,000. Knife around.

However, as long as Marino is willing, the watch can be carried in the hand at any time, and the diamond necklace is most suitable for the jewelry box most of the time.

Selena had also heard Sandra jokingly say that she would be thankful to have a diamond necklace worth thousands of dollars in her life.

This year, is the new beginning of Hayek's "family", she decided to let Sandra have a happy Christmas.

Early in the morning on the 22nd, Luke drove Selena, gold nuggets, and several large boxes of gifts onto the plane.

Marino, who was promoted to a rancher, no longer has to stay at the ranch for a moment as he used to, so he will go to the Dallas airport to pick up the plane, and Selena doesn't have to worry about carrying luggage.

After sending Selena away, Luke relaxed.

Checking the time and still early, he called Elena.

This girl will not go back to France for Christmas this year. She said that because the air ticket is too expensive, she decided to work and study in New York.

Of course, a smart person like Luke would not be an idiot to quietly buy her a transoceanic air ticket as a Christmas present. That kind of straight man deserves to have no girlfriend for the rest of his life.

He parked the car at the New Jersey cottage and called the rental car company to send a Ford Explorer before he drove to Elena's school.

Coincidentally, Elena's school is located in North Bergen.

A few kilometers north of the school is the textile factory of the Mutual Aid Association.

While Luke was driving, he was also thinking about the mutual aid association.

During this time, he occasionally went out in ordinary casual clothes at night.

Go to the textile factory.

However, instead of sneaking in directly, he used several micro drones that were kept inside and monitored at fixed points to obtain information. After a long period of continuous monitoring, he obtained a large number of details of the activities of the mutual aid association, and the relevant information in his hands became more and more perfect.

In this world, it is difficult to achieve complete secrecy.

It is even more difficult to persevere without leaking.

The Mutual Aid Association, an organization that has flourished for hundreds of years, inevitably has many loopholes.

Even if they are not really old antiques, even if they have professionals to inspect inside and outside the textile mill almost every day, including the exploration of various electronic devices.

It's a pity that the technological level of their detection instruments is too far from the top products from Tony Stark, and the micro drone left by Luke has not been found.

Sloan, the old fox, also has some clues about the source of the raw material for the medicated bath that has been hidden deeply.

Not long ago, the rodent exterminator notified Sloan when the finished medicated bath was running out.

After Sloan went out once, when he came back, he handed over the new raw materials for the medicated bath to the rodent exterminator.

Fortunately, a micro drone was always staring at the medicine bathroom, but if Luke hadn't had a small snail to help analyze and investigate, it was possible to miss this little clue.

During the investigation of Sloan's trip, the Polyhedron System found his trail.

Sloan, an outdated old guy, used a fake identity and made a lot of disguise, but he was accidentally taken in by a girl who likes to take selfies, so he was still listed as a highly suspected target by the polyhedron system.

Xiao Snail repeated investigations on his possible action route, and more clues proved that this was Sloan himself.

The flight he took under the false identity also had a clear destination - Iquitos, Peru.

Luke himself didn't have time to go to Iquitos in person.

He just used the method of online payment to find two well-known private investigators to investigate Sloan's whereabouts, and by the way to check whether there is a "legend" similar to the efficacy of medicated baths.

It's just a matter of money, it's best if you get it, and it's not a waste if you don't get it.

Once the source of the raw materials for the medicated bath is determined, the mutual aid society is basically useless.

At that time, Luke only had to think about how to take the mutual aid club away in one wave and get as many experience points as possible.

Taking a last look north of North Bergen, Luke parked the car outside the gate of the Paland Art School and opened the door to get off.

On the side of the gate and the road, a petite figure was stomping around there, looking a little shivering.

She just turned and walked towards the gate when the Ford Explorer approached, so she didn't notice it.

Luke walked over and picked her up and turned around: "Aha, look what I caught? A fragrant little beauty."

Elena, who was picked up by him, didn't have time to be surprised when she heard his words and laughed out loud: "No, I'm just a lost bunny."

Luke put her down, led her towards the car with one hand, and slapped the snowflakes off her body with the other: "Unfortunately, I am not a big bad wolf, but a caring animal protector."

The girl let him help her clean up the snowflakes and said, "Hey, shouldn't you call yourself a hunter?"

Luke pondered for a few breaths: "But hunters usually carry double-barreled shotguns."

Irina was stunned for a while, not understanding the logic of these words, and the two went to the front of the car.

Stuffing petite Elena into the co-pilot, closing the door, Luke circled back to the driver's seat, got in the car and started to leave.

The air conditioner in the car was very warm, and Elena took off the beige wire cap and thick coat on her head, put it on the back seat, and looked at him with a smile: "Are you on vacation?"

Luke shrugged: "Strictly speaking, I should be at work, but no one checks my attendance."

Elena was curious: "Didn't you just come to NYPD? Your boss is so relieved of you, um, wait, you won't be assigned to sit on the bench, right?"

Luke laughed: "I want to correct your misconception, the cold bench is just a cold place, but you have to sit there at work, and you can't leave even if it's boring."

Elena: "Then how can you skip class? Or are you going to have lunch with me and go back to work?"

Luke chuckled: "I won't go to work today. I have a lot of time and will show you the scenery of New York."

Elena was happy at first, and then she thought of something, slapped him, and her face turned a little red.

Well, she's not shy, she's just hot from the air conditioner.

Not long after, the two drove to Times Square, parked the car, and played at the "crossroads of the world".
