After a while, Jester Locke arrived. He was not alone. Matthew, the cowboy leader of the farm, also came and drove for him.

Both of them were still in cowboy style, wearing cowboy hats, jeans and jackets.

Compared with Jester’s restrained demeanor, Matthew was full of sturdy spirit, which was incompatible with the urban atmosphere of Los Angeles.

Locke also found that he was carrying a gun, and immediately understood something.

Because the undercover mission was not over yet, Locke did not go out to greet him. As soon as Jester Locke entered the house, he gave him a big hug and punched him twice, smiling: “Locke, congratulations, I can’t believe that our family has a detective so soon…” He said to Marian: “Go get us some food, we didn’t have time to eat breakfast!” Li Bo hurriedly said: “I’ll get it, you guys talk…” Jester Locke waved his hand and said: “Let her get it, let’s talk about the new company…” Locke asked: “Mum, do you need my help?” Marian shook her head, “You chat with your grandpa!” Locke naturally knew the purpose of his grandpa coming from Lebec early in the morning, but seeing that he didn’t show any emotion, but was really asking Li Bo about the new company, he couldn’t help but admire Jester’s determination. Soon Marian prepared two more breakfasts, sandwiches, fried eggs, bacon, and steak. After Locke helped Marian put the breakfast on the dining table, Matthew took his breakfast and milk directly to the white iron table by the garden swimming pool to eat. Li Bo was stunned and was about to ask, but was stopped by Marian.

Jester Locke also turned a blind eye to this. He cut the steak slowly and asked: “Tell me, what happened? I asked Chester Horton again and again, and the old man told me that it was an instruction from San Francisco. Our family has no relationship with San Francisco, so I think it is likely that something happened in Los Angeles that I don’t know about.”

“Otherwise, how could that old man Chester give up such an important position as the sheriff of the Livestock Association? I even suspect that this old guy wants to eat up the Locke Farm. I made two preparations. At the farm, I asked Henry to enter a state of alert…”

“I was just about to call you!”

Marian glanced at Locke and said: “This matter is related to Locke. After he entered the detective bureau, he took over an undercover mission…”

After introducing the course of events, she also told Li Bo’s previous analysis.

Jester Locke also looked at Li Bo in surprise, a little surprised that he had studied American politics so thoroughly.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his head and stared at Locke in a daze, forcing out a smile, “So that’s it, these bastards usually don’t ask us to donate money and vote, but this time they actually took the initiative to throw two pieces of meat to us, it turns out that they want Locke to risk his life!”

Jester Locke retracted his gaze and looked at Marian and Li Bo, “What do you two think?”

Maryan and Li Bo looked at each other, and just as they were about to speak, Locke spoke first.

“Grandpa…”

Locke had already discovered that Marian and Li Bo had disagreements on this matter through micro-expression analysis, so he said first: “In fact, this mission is not that dangerous for me…”

With his current skills, if it really comes to a last resort, the worst that can happen is to flip the table.

The reason why he didn’t agree to Anna Davis last night was that he didn’t want to be taken advantage of for free.

“Locke…”

“Locke…”

Maryan and Li Bo interrupted him in unison, but they had different ideas.

Marian was a little hesitant about this matter. She felt that this was an opportunity for the Locke family, but she was also worried that Locke would be in danger.

Li Bo really didn’t want Locke to get involved in this kind of thing. He felt that everything was fine now, and Locke didn’t need to take risks at all. He was confident that he could run the company well and take the family to the next level.

Jester Locke’s eyes swept over the three people, and finally stopped at Marian’s face, and said in a deep voice: “One generation does the work of one generation. I have retired. You three siblings have always done well, especially you. The couple has created such a large industry in Los Angeles. I know you are ambitious and want to take the family to the next level, but don’t expect your son to help you get something you can’t get yourself, especially when he needs to risk his life. This is not what a mother should do…”

Although Marian didn’t speak, she knew her daughter better than her father. Jester Locke saw clearly the hesitation and entanglement in her heart.

Marian was ashamed by what Jester said, and turned to apologize to Locke: “Sorry, Locke…”

“Mum…”

Locke hurriedly comforted: “You know my skills,This matter is really not dangerous to me…”

“Locke…”

Jester Locke interrupted Locke and said seriously: “You are an adult, and I am also very happy to see your progress during this period. You have become better than I thought. You should know that I have always regarded you as the third-generation successor of the Locke family. You will inherit the Locke Farm in the future because it originally belonged to your mother! So for me, whether you are LAPD or not, whether you accept this task or not, what kind of livestock police chief, what kind of member of the Bar Association, are all irrelevant things. To me, you are more important than anything else!”

He stared at Locke with burning eyes, “I am now solemnly asking you, assuming that you continue this damn undercover mission, are you sure you can come back alive?”

Li Bo didn’t expect Jester to change the subject and ask this question. His face suddenly changed, and he couldn’t help but say: “Jester…”

Jester Locke looked at Li Bo and said in a deep voice: “Todd, you are good in everything, the only bad thing is that you lack blood. He is your son and my grandson. I care about him as much as you do, but I prefer to believe him…” He then said to Marian, “Do you know why you and Glenn can’t take the family to the next level? Because Mary and I shot down Locke Farm, but you brothers and sisters expect to take it to the next level in a civilized way. You have lost what we are best at. Everything on this land of America, fame, status, opportunities, money, land, all need to be robbed! Since you want to rob, there will be risks, and you must be prepared to be beaten to the point of bleeding, or even lose your life…” Jester Locke put his hand on Locke’s shoulder and asked, “Can you come back alive?” Locke smiled proudly, “Of course!” His heart was stirred by his grandfather’s words. No wonder Jester was able to build such a large farm in Lebeck. Jester Locke pinched Locke’s shoulder, “I believe in you, so go and do it, and take on the responsibility of the family! ”

He shrugged, “Although Henry and Glenn have never objected to handing the farm over to you, I believe they should have their own ideas in their hearts. However, after this incident, no one will have any objections…”

Locke was stunned and said to Marian: “Mum, I think we should also fight for something for Uncle Glenn, such as giving him a promotion…”

Maryan was thinking about Jester’s words, frowned and asked: “Do you think we are qualified to bargain with them?”

Locke sneered: “Anna Davis’s offer is only based on the strength of the Locke family. She doesn’t know that I have a girlfriend named Glennberg, so I think she should raise the price…”

Maryan stared at him blankly and asked back: “Don’t you know that the Greenberg family supports the Democratic Party?”
