Chapter 385 Invitation

Half an hour ago.

Ino community, Linda's home.

"Ha ha…"

There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant.

Linda, Val, Fatty, and grandma are sitting at the dining table, chatting while eating.

Although grandma is sometimes unreliable, she is good at chatting, and as long as she is around, she will rarely stand cold.

Grandma drank a glass of red wine, "Linda, it's been a long time since I ate your cooking, and your cooking skills are still so good. I have to say that you have completely inherited my cooking talent."

Linda spread her hands, "You don't need to say the last sentence."

Val smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't had a meal cooked by my mother for a long time. Where have you been this year, and why haven't you contacted us?"

"Oh...I've had a very fulfilling life this year, doing a lot of things.

I went to Africa to help poor and hungry children. I can't imagine that there are places in the world that don't have enough to eat.

I volunteered there and donated some medicine and food.

Later... I went to Huaguo again. Huaguo is a big country with a large population. There are rich places and poor mountainous areas. In poor places, you have to go a long way to go to school.

So... I donated to build a Hope Primary School. "

"Wow..." The little fat man showed a surprised look, "Grandma, you are amazing, you have done so many good things.

Africa and Huaguo are places I yearn for, but I have never been there.

But I heard from my brother that the population of Huaguo is declining like a cliff, and many rural schools have been abolished because they can’t recruit students. Why do we still need to build Hope Primary School? "

Grandma was a little embarrassed, "Uh...how are you studying recently?"

Val smiled, "It's really a family that loves each other."

Linda stood up, pointed to the plate on the table, "Lunch is over.

Today is my cooking, I leave it to you, I believe you can do it well. "

Grandma shook her right hand, "To prepare a surprise for you yesterday, I hid in the box and accidentally twisted my hand.

So, I leave it to you. "Grandma looked at Val and the little fat man.

Linda has long been familiar with this scene, but her eyes were attracted by the ring on her grandmother's finger, "Is the diamond ring you are wearing real?"

Grandma smiled and shook her right hand, "Do you think I will wear fake ones?"

"Mom, where did you get so much money to buy a diamond ring?" Although Val didn't know the price of diamonds, but the size can be seen, this diamond is the size of a soybean grain, it is definitely not cheap.

"Buying a diamond ring?

nonono, if a woman needs to buy a diamond ring by herself, then she is too failed.

This was given to me by someone else. "

Val grabbed his mother's hand and looked carefully, "Why do you accept such an expensive gift from others?"

"I don't want it either, but the other party insists on giving it to me. This makes me very distressed..." The look on grandma's face has nothing to do with distress.

Linda sat back on the chair again, "Who gave it to you?"

Grandma was a little dissatisfied with her daughter's tone, "Listening to your tone, I thought your grandma was resurrected."

Linda asked back, "So...you want to **** her off again?"

"How many times have I told you that your grandma is not mad at me." Grandma lowered her voice, "Actually, I always suspected that it was your Aunt Sophie, but I was afraid of being beaten, so I never asked her..."

Val quipped, "I wouldn't be surprised if Aunt Sophie hit someone."

Linda was a little speechless.

Grandma looked at Linda's right hand, "You are still young...you should start over, forget about that bad boy.

When you got married, I felt that you were not suitable. He was just a passer-by in your life. "

Linda glanced at the little fat man, "Mom, it's not appropriate to talk about this now.

Instead of caring about me, you might as well think more about Val. "

Grandma held Val's hand, "Honey, you really should find a companion."

Val took out his hand, "Hey, why are you targeting me, do you think I won't be able to find a girlfriend?

How is it possible, I have a date. "

Linda said, "Then bring your girlfriend back, like Jack."

The little fat man winked at Val.

Val sighed and refused to admit defeat, "I will..."

"Woooooooooooo..."

Suddenly there was a siren sound outside.

Linda went to the window to check and found 3 police cars parked outside the yard.

"Why are there police cars outside?"

The little fat man said, "Could it be that he came to look for my brother?"

"Luke is resting today, and there are patrolmen outside..." Linda finished speaking, and looked at her younger brother unkindly, "Val, what's going on?"

Val showed an innocent look on his face, "This is your house, how do I know what's going on? How do you know they are here to find me?"

Outside the window, the patrolman got out of the car and walked into the yard. Linda urged, "Jack, call your brother."

…

after an hour.

A Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the community.

The car stopped on the side of the road. Luke got out of the car and saw a familiar police officer.

"John."

"Hi, Luke, I was about to call you." John walked over.

"What's the matter?"

"I made an appointment with my friend to watch the game, but he has something to do temporarily, do you want to go together?"

"when?"

"tonight."

"what match."

John pretended to be mysterious and smiled, "You'll know when you go."

"See you tonight." Luke looked around the house, "What's going on here?"

"A case of fraud, small matter." John asked back, "What are you doing here?"

"My mother lives here."

"Wow..." John raised his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise, "Uh... maybe there is some misunderstanding.

How old is your mother? "

"Under fifty."

John breathed a sigh of relief, "That has nothing to do with her. We are investigating an old lady in her seventies."

"I'll go in and have a look."

John said, "Are you still going at night?"

"why not?"

Luke entered the house, there were two patrolmen sitting in the living room who were questioning, the little fat man was not downstairs, grandma and Linda sat on the sofa, and Val stood aside.

Linda saw her son and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found her backbone.

Grandma also stood up, pointed at Luke and said, "This is my grandson, and he is also a policeman."

The two questioning police officers looked at Luke, and one of them was an acquaintance Lucy, "Luke, is this your home?"

"Yes, my mother's house.

What happened? "

Lucy said, "We received a report from a gentleman who claimed that one of his diamond rings had been stolen.

The whistleblower provided the name of the suspect, Jenna Dean, and we found it here.

The diamond ring on her hand was consistent with what the informant described. "

Grandma Jenna Dean defended, "I didn't steal anything, it was framed! The person who should call the police is me, not him."

Lucy said, "But the reporter has the proof of purchase of the diamond ring, which is consistent with the serial number of the diamond ring you are wearing."

Jenna Dean said, "I admit that he bought the diamond ring, but he already gave it to me.

That's mine. "

Lucy said, "According to the informant, this diamond ring was used for a marriage proposal, and you rejected his marriage proposal and did not return the diamond ring.

Refused to meet with him, refused to answer the phone, and left the place of residence with the diamond ring.

This already constitutes a scam. . "

Jenna Dean shook her head, as if she didn't agree with the other party, "I'm not cheating."

Lucy asked back, "Then why didn't you return the diamond ring?"

"I...I like this diamond ring very much, I really like it..." Jenna Dean stroked the diamond ring with her hand, and then looked at Lucy, "You are also a woman, you should be able to understand, right?"

Lucy retorted, "Sorry ma'am, I don't understand.

If you do not accept the other party's marriage proposal, you should return the other party's proposal items, otherwise it is illegal possession. "

"I didn't cheat, and I didn't let him buy a diamond ring. He put it on my finger on his own initiative, and I didn't say no to him...

Just want to wear it for a while.

I didn't expect him to choose to call the police, what a stingy man.

I'm glad I didn't accept his proposal. Jenna Dean took off the diamond ring with some reluctance and put it in front of Lucy, "Please hand it over to him."

Tell him not to contact me again.

My heart is broken by him. "

Lucy "…"

Jenna Dean was not taken away by the police. Just like she said, the diamond ring was given to her by the other party, rather than being asked for or stolen by her. It can only be regarded as illegal possession at best.

The other party had a good attitude of pleading guilty and voluntarily returned the diamond ring. The police have a certain degree of discretion. For Luke's sake, there is no need to take the old lady to the police station.

Luke sent Lucy and another police officer out, watching the police car leave with some embarrassment.

Linda regretted letting her son come back, "Son, I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"There is a saying in Huaguo, 'every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite', as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed."

Mother and son entered the living room.

Jenna Dean grabbed Luke's arm, "Sorry, honey, grandma got you into trouble."

Jenna Dean also knew that if Luke hadn't been present, this matter might not have ended so smoothly, and she would have to go to the police station as a guest in handcuffs.

Luke didn't answer. He knew who inherited his uncle's unreliability, and he also knew why grandpa disliked grandma so much.

Really TM pit.

…

Near the gymnasium.

Luke and John get out of the car and stroll from the parking lot to the gym.

Many people have gathered outside the gymnasium, most of them are men, surrounded in groups of three or four.

Luke asked curiously, "Can you tell me what game it is now?"

John laughed, "A wrestling match."

Luke looked at the billboard at the door, and there were two girls in bikinis on it, "Are you sure it's wrestling?"

"Women's Wrestling."

"Then why are you dressed like this?"

John walked to the sign, pointed with his finger and read, "Women's Naked Wrestling Competition."

Luke frowned slightly, "Is it regular?"

"Of course, it has the same rigorous competition system and rules as regular sports events, and most of the wrestlers participating in it are professional athletes." John winked his eyes, "I've seen it and said it's good."

Luke pointed to the sign, "Is it the same as the one on the sign? Isn't it false advertising?"

"Don't worry, there will only be less, not more." After John finished speaking, he walked into the stadium.

Luke also walked in, picked up the ticket from the self-service machine in the lobby, and saw a prize redemption sign not far away, and asked, "Is it still possible to bet here?"

"It can be operated on the mobile phone, and I will teach you later."

The two bought drinks in the hall, and stepped into the auditorium one after the other.

At this time, the auditorium was almost full, and the two were seated in the front row of the auditorium, not far from the ring, so they could see clearly.

The two found the third row according to the tickets. The seat numbers of the two were connected together. One was No. 17 in row 3 and the other was No. 18.

At this time, there were already two white men sitting on the seats, chatting enthusiastically with the people around them, and laughing from time to time.

Luke looked at the ticket, then at the seat, yes, "Hey, sir, what is your seat number?"

A bearded white man glanced at Luke, "Boy, are you talking to me?"

"Yes, you took my seat." Luke shook the ticket in his hand.

The bearded man said disdainfully, "Now this seat belongs to me."

"Why?"

The bearded man pointed at the men beside him, "Because we are in the same group, we want to watch the game together, if you understand, get out of here."

The three men next to him also stared at Luke, and one of the tattooed men rolled up his sleeves to cheer his companions with practical actions.

Luke persuaded patiently, "I don't want to cause trouble, I don't care what your relationship is, numbers 17 and 18 are our seats.

Come out immediately. "

The bearded man stood up and threatened, "If I don't let me out, what do you want? Wrestle me in the ring?"

"Ha ha…"

A few friends around laughed, and stood up, looking at Luke unkindly.

John on the side showed his police badge and asked, "What are you doing? Assaulting the police?"

Seeing the police badge, the bearded man shrank his neck instinctively, and his accomplice lost his previous arrogance and sat back in his seat.

Luke waved, "Get out your ID."

"Why?"

"You want to assault the police?"

"It's really unlucky." The bearded man showed annoyed look, but he still took out his driver's license as ordered.

Luke looked at the driver's license, took a picture, "Go away, don't let me see you again."

The bearded man took back his ID card and slipped away obediently without daring to fart.

The man next to him in seat 18 also left.

John sat in seat 17, and Luke sat next to him in seat 18. There were men all around him, and they were also big. They felt a little cramped and not very comfortable.

Luke looked at the two bearded accomplices, "You two get out too."

One of the men with a neck tattoo said, "We have tickets, and number 19 is my seat."

Another man took out a ticket, "I am number 20."

"I do not care.

I don't want to see you guys, get out immediately, otherwise..." Luke showed an expression that you understand.

"You can't do this, we bought tickets.

We have a right to sit here. "The tattooed man said dissatisfied.

"Until I change my mind...

Fuck off. "Luke's voice was low and provocative.

The two bearded accomplices and Luke looked at each other for a moment, but they were finally persuaded and left their seats aggrieved.

Luke sat in seat 19, and there was an empty seat next to him. He felt much more spacious and in a better mood.

Two beauties in bikinis also entered the ring...
