LA Detective

Chapter 691 Heart to Heart
Inside a pink Rolls-Royce.

Lilith yawned lazily and asked, "Are you satisfied with the French meal just now?"

“Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted great.

The key is that other people are paying for dinner." Luke asked with a smile, "Where are we going next?"

"I'm a little sleepy. What do you think of taking a nap first and having a spa in the afternoon?"

Luke stretched and said, "Where are we going to sleep?"

Four Seasons Hotel, New York.

Luke and his companion took the elevator to the 51st floor of the hotel and checked into 5101, one of the only two presidential suites on this floor.

This was Luke's first time staying in the presidential suite. The house was luxuriously decorated and fully equipped with home appliances. It was equipped with a marble gas fireplace, an entertainment table and valuable oil paintings. The tall floor-to-ceiling bay windows offered a view of most of New York City.

At this moment, Luke once again deeply felt the happiness of rich people. Many things are really determined from the moment of birth.

Lilith stretched and went to the bedroom to rest.

Luke went to the terrace on the north side of the room, poured a glass of red wine, and looked out over Central Park not far away.

In the afternoon, after Lilith woke up, the two of them made an appointment for a double spa.

The double spa room comes with a swimming pool, steam room, hydromassage bathtub and private service room, and is luxuriously decorated.

The masseuses doing the spa are two Latin girls, both of them look to be around 20 years old, with good figures and good looks, and their techniques are very comfortable.

While enjoying his massage, Luke asked, "What are your plans for tonight?"

"How about going to see a musical on Broadway?"

"What kind of musical is it?"

“Hamilton

Based on Alexander Hamilton, this musical delves into the history of the American Revolution and early nationhood.

Before, I thought that dramas of this type would have more classical music, but I didn’t expect that most of the songs would be rap.

This is undoubtedly an innovative move for musicals, making the story more fascinating while incorporating modern music elements.

My friend has seen this musical and heard that the actors’ singing and performance were great. The lyrics of the rap were so dense that my friend felt a little breathless just listening to it. But they were able to sing and dance without stopping. It was incredible!"

Luke lost interest after listening to this. Most Americans don't have much interest in American history. America is a country of immigrants. When the United States was founded, their ancestors didn't even know which continent to make a living on and had no sense of participation at all.

After a relaxing spa, Luke swam in the pool for a while.

Then have dinner with Lilith.

As for going to see musicals, he really had no interest in doing so.

After dinner, he took Lilith back to the presidential suite, took a bath together in the luxurious bathroom, and did double yoga on the soft bed. This was real comfort.

When Luke woke up the next day, it was already past eight in the morning. After having breakfast with Lilith, he left the hotel.

As for the feeling of experiencing the 'upper class' this time, it was generally good and gave him more motivation to make money.

Of course, Luke wouldn't be so foolish as to think that he could live such a life as long as he was with Lilith.

Luke knew very well that he and Lilith were just friends with benefits or lovers, and it would be difficult to go further.

If he really wanted to go further, Lilith might move away from him.

After all, the family backgrounds of the two people are too different. Even though Luke has achieved some success in his career now, compared with Lilith's family background, it is still far behind. Ten years of hard study cannot match the accumulation of several generations of others.

Of course, Luke had no complaints. He was still young and could worry about the future later. He just had to enjoy himself now.

What's the point of a bicycle if you can fire cannons without taking responsibility?
As soon as Luke returned to his father's house, he saw the little fat boy dressed and ready to go out.

The little fat man asked curiously, "Where did you go last night?"

Luke answered perfunctorily, "I was drinking with friends and it was too late, so I stayed out.

Where are you going?"

"Will asked me to go out and play." The fat boy licked his tongue, "Do you want to go with us?"

"Where are you going to play?"

"video arcade."

"OK, have fun."

"Aren't you going?"

"That place is not suitable for me." Luke was too familiar with the fat boy. He knew at a glance that the boy was not telling the truth and clearly did not want him to follow him.

"See you tonight." The fat man closed the door and walked out of the community with small steps.

The fat man walked out of the community and went along the roadside to the subway station. The biggest advantage of New York compared to Los Angeles is that public transportation is more developed.

The fat boy took the subway for twenty minutes and got off at Gulas Avenue Station.

He came out of the South Subway Station, walked about a hundred meters, and turned right. There was a coffee shop on the east side of the street, and a white girl was standing at the door of the coffee shop.

When the fat boy saw the white girl, he ran over happily.

Luke saw this scene from afar at the corner of the street. Although he couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, he had recognized her identity based on her figure - Maggie.

This made Luke speechless, but upon reflection it made sense.

He did not disturb their date and returned to Li Zhaofeng's house the same way. He had been up late last night and needed to catch up on some sleep today.

It was almost noon when Luke woke up and Li Zhaofeng had already prepared lunch.

Spicy fried shredded pork, cold preserved eggs, smashed cucumber, pan-fried salmon, and his favorite donkey meat. The staple food is grilled pizza.

Li Zhaofeng opened a bottle of Moutai, poured two glasses, and said, "Today, let's have a good drink."

Luke took the glass and said, "Dad, I'll toast to you."

"Okay." The father and son finished their cup, and Li Zhaofeng said, "Eat some food first and then drink."

Luke picked up a piece of donkey meat and it tasted delicious, just the way he liked it.

Li Zhaofeng ate a piece of cucumber with chopsticks and asked, "Luke, your career is developing well now, and you are a more stable person. Have you ever thought about getting married?"

Luke was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No."

"Weren't you dating a lawyer before? How are you doing now?"

Luke continued to shake his head, “It’s hard to say.

She is a strong woman, she is busier than me at work, and she is a non-marriage advocate. "

Li Zhaofeng picked up his glass again, clinked glasses with Luke, drank half of it and said, "It sounds like she's not a very good marriage partner."

Luke smiled, "It's a little early for me to get married, at least I'm not thinking about it now."

Li Zhaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "You are not old now, there is no need to rush. Take your time."

Luke thought, instead of working hard on me, you might as well push the little fat boy more. Maybe in a few years you can bring back a big fat grandson.

Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help but laugh. If this really happened, who would raise the child?
The fat boy is just a child himself, he may not have this ability.

Li Zhaofeng? Or Linda?

However, it is not a bad thing for Luke. Now that the fat boy has a child, no one will urge Luke anymore.

He is also freer.

The two brothers stayed in New York for five days and had a happy Spring Festival holiday.

2 month 13 day.

Li Zhaofeng sent his two sons to New York International Airport and watched them go through security check.

The fat boy waved goodbye to Li Zhaofeng, then walked into the departure hall in a depressed mood.

Luke glanced at him and thought, is this guy reluctant to leave New York, or his father, or Maggie?

What a romantic.

The fat boy was a little silent along the way, which was in stark contrast to when he came to New York.

More than five hours later, the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport.

The two brothers got off the plane, dragged their luggage to the parking lot, and then Luke drove the fat boy home.

Luke glanced at the fat boy in the passenger seat and said, "Why are you so unhappy? Tell me what makes you unhappy and make me happy."

Jack glared at his brother, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm just a little tired."

"You're not going to talk to me about Maggie?"

The little fat man was stunned for a moment and sighed, "You finally found out. I knew I couldn't hide it from you.

But thank you very much...

You’re asking now.”

“Now that you have met, I hope you have a good holiday.

But now that the holiday is over, I wanted to hear your thoughts.”

"Yes, we are in contact, about once a week."

Luke reminded, “You should know that this is dangerous. Maggie has joined the witness protection program. Logically, she should not contact the previous person.

Last time, her and her father’s identities were exposed probably because she maintained private contact with her mother.”

"I know. So, we didn't communicate by phone, but through encrypted communication over the Internet. In this case, it is almost impossible to be traced."

"Does Maggie's father know about this?"

“I didn’t know originally, but Maggie told me that she was going to tell her father about it when she returned this time.

She wanted her father’s permission.”

Luke shook his head, "Maggie's father would never agree to this."

"Maggie said she would convince her father, and I believe her."

Luke said helplessly, “But this does not eliminate the potential danger.

As long as you keep in touch, not only will Maggie be at risk of being exposed, you may also be in danger."

"With you by my side, I don't think anyone would dare to hurt me?"

"I can't always be with you."

“Brother, I know you care about me, but… there are many dangerous things in this world.

Some time ago, my friend's father was walking his dog when he was shot by a gang near the park and died before he was taken to the hospital.

Danger is everywhere.

You face dangers every day as a policeman, and your mother often worries about you.

Are you not going to do it because you are afraid of danger?" The little fat boy licked his lips and said seriously, "Brother, I know you care about me.

Although I am young, I already have a mature mind.

My decision to stay in touch with Maggie was a deliberate one.

I am willing to bear the consequences of this, I think it is worth it...

I would never forgive myself if I gave up this relationship because of a little danger.

I really don’t want to miss Maggie, you understand?”

Luke sighed softly and said nothing more. He suddenly envied his younger brother for having a true love at the best age...
