The atmosphere at the Locke family dinner table tonight was a bit dull.

Li Bo and Marian didn’t say anything, they looked hesitant and had no appetite.

Locke, the instigator, was enjoying the food with relish as if nothing had happened.

Well, in fact, his father’s cooking skills were only at the level of home cooking, but who told him to eat pizza and hamburgers for lunch!

Fresh ingredients and a variety of Chinese seasonings made the food more flavorful, perfectly making up for the lack of cooking skills.

Jet and Hannah naturally felt the strangeness of Marian and Li Bo, and looked at Locke from time to time, hoping to get answers from him.

Marian hesitated again and again, then calmed down and turned around and said, “Todd, I’ve decided to be honest. You call Mr. Li later and tell him about the situation. If he wants to change lawyers, I have no problem with that! I will pay for the initial fees of Haley Pierce!”

Li Bo grabbed her hand with relief, “I support your decision. I’ll make the call now!”

The matter was very simple. After Tiffany Yang was sent to the interrogation room by the Anti-gang and Anti-drug Division, she immediately lost her previous arrogance and explained the source of the drugs clearly.

In fact, she had no clues. She bought the drugs from a powder boss near USC (University of Southern California).

She had no idea which gang the other party belonged to.

There are at least tens of thousands of such powder bosses on the streets of Los Angeles.

However, the area from USC (University of Southern California) to the Korean car belongs to the international gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13).

This gang is mainly engaged in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, smuggling, loan sharking, and prostitution.

Therefore, this fan leader is most likely an outside member of the MS-13 organization.

In fact, when the record began, Tiffany Yang had been told that she had the right to contact her lawyer, so she called her acquaintance in the United States.

The other party was a friend of her father, who had immigrated to Los Angeles for more than ten years, joined the Los Angeles Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and had many connections in Los Angeles.

Her father would take her to visit this friend named Li every year and also entrusted the friend named Li to look after her.

It just so happened that Li Bo and Marian had recently become famous in the Los Angeles Chinese circle, so Mr. Li entrusted this case to Marian’s law firm.

Marian and Nancy O’Hara were not criminal lawyers, so the commission was handed over to the famous criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles, Haley Pierce.

Li Bo got up from the table, took his mobile phone and walked to the garden outside to call Mr. Li.

Marian glared at Locke and said dissatisfiedly: “Look at what you have done!”

Locke shrugged, looking helpless, and said seriously: “Mum, I just did what I should do! I am a policeman!”

Jet was curious, “Uh, can I know what happened?”

Maryan scolded: “Finish your dinner as soon as possible and go back to your room. These things are not what you should know now!”

Jet was scolded with a hot face, lowered his head in submission, stuffed things into his mouth mechanically, and became tasteless.

“…”

Hannah lowered her head and looked at Jet, showing a gloating smile.

Locke also looked at Jet with sympathy, not understanding why he wanted to bump into the muzzle of the gun.

He hurriedly changed the subject, “Mum, I plan to invite my colleagues from the detective department to go on vacation to Lebec…” After hearing this, Marian’s attention was indeed diverted, and she nodded and said, “This is indeed a good entry point. I will call Jester tonight and ask him what he thinks!” He asked again, “Will you take Daisy with you?” Locke nodded and said, “Of course!” At this time, Li Bo came in after finishing the call, and Marian hurriedly asked, “What did Mr. Li say?” Obviously, she still attaches great importance to this case. Li Bo sighed and smiled, “Mr. Li still decided that your law firm will be responsible for Tiffany Yang’s case. However, considering Tiffany Yang’s feelings, he does not intend to tell her about the relationship between Locke and you before the case is over…” He looked at Locke again, “Mr. Li asked me to convey his gratitude to you. He was completely unaware of Tiffany Yang’s drug use. He felt guilty about Tiffany’s family. He has called to inform them to come to the United States!” Locke picked up a piece of lamb chops and smiled, “It’s a smart decision!” As for gratitude, he didn’t believe a word. Marian calmed down at this time. Locke was the chief detective of the police department, which meant that Marian had access to the police department’s information. Although Tiffany Yang was arrested because of Locke’s report, the incident had already happened. Now the client’s goal was to get TiffaNy Yang is innocent or has been given a light sentence.

She asked, “What is the identity of this Mr. Li?”

A person who can have such a measure and pattern is definitely not simple.

Li Bo replied, “He is the vice president of the Los Angeles Chinese Chamber of Commerce…”

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Locke asked Marian, “Mum, why did you call me back?”

Marian replied, “Lebec, uh, there are some legal documents at Besquefield Farm that need your signature!”

Locke was surprised and said, “So it’s this matter. I thought you wanted to ask about the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Apartments?”

Marian said unhappily, “Sky took me to see it this morning. The geographical location and the holiday view of the apartment are indeed worth it. Besides, you have already decided. What’s the use of me saying anything?”

After that, she got up and walked towards the study.

When Li Bo saw Marian enter the study, he immediately exposed her secrets and said with a smile: “Your mother sent me several photos. In fact, she also likes that apartment. The view is great. Hahaha, after all, there are only twelve such houses in Los Angeles, and they are located in the city center. Compared with the selling price, this price is worth buying!” However, when he thought that Locke bought this apartment to live with Jennifer Gray, he felt depressed again. At this time, Marian returned to the dining table with a few documents. She handed the documents to Locke, “You will sign these documents later…” Locke took the documents and asked seriously: “Do I need to call my lawyer?” Marian was immediately amused and nodded: “You can call your lawyer now!” Locke’s expression froze. His lawyer is his mother! However, it seems that he has another choice now! He is very curious, what will happen if he calls Daisy Greenberg to come over? Will the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be staged in advance? … Locke did not return to Greenberg Manor until 8 o’clock in the evening. He went back to his room to wash up before walking into Daisy Greenberg’s bedroom.

Miss Greenberg was reading a book on the bed in her golden satin pajamas, looking more demure and elegant than usual. When she saw him come in, she said calmly, “I’ve invited Miss Sarah Mendes to visit the manor again today!”

Locke paused and instantly wilted.

Is the young lady trying to scare people again?
