After thinking about it, Stella didn't hide anything, and simply explained to Chen Yongren: "My father's name is John Bridger, and he, like me, is very good at opening the combination lock of the safe. In fact, I can open the combination lock of the safe. He taught me all the lock skills from a young age."

After listening to Stella's introduction, Chen Yongren thought of Bridger Lock Company on the business card: "So, he is the owner of Bridger Lock Company."

However, Stella shook her head: "No, I'm the owner of Bridger's Locksmith Company."

Thinking of his father's arrangement back then, Stella's fingers lightly brushed the sweat on Chen Yongren's face, and fell into the memories of the past: "In fact, my father is a thief who is good at opening the combination lock of the safe, so he has counted jail time."

Facing Chen Yongren's surprised gaze, Stella pointed to herself: "However, I never planned to become a thief like my father, and my father didn't want me to be like him. Because of my childhood experience, I His academic performance was not very good, so he could only go to a very ordinary community college.

After I graduated from community college, my dad simply paid for me to open Bridger Lockpicks.Relying on my talent and experience in lockpicking, I can support myself, and live a good life. "

Looking at the sweat on Stella's neck, as well as the attractive figure and facial features of Stella, Chen Yongren gently kissed the other's forehead: "Even if you don't have such experience, your academic performance is probably not much better?"

After hearing this, Stella glared at Chen Yongren with some dissatisfaction: "What do you mean, are you questioning my IQ?"

Chen Yongren shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, a beautiful girl like you must have been pursued by all kinds of boys every day since she was a child, how can she have time to study?"

Thinking of her various experiences of being pursued since she was a child, Stella raised her chin a little arrogantly: "That is, since I was a child, various people often sent me flowers and invited me to watch movies. But , they were all beaten away by my father."

Thinking of the father who cared for and cared for her since she was a child, Stella's joy faded a lot: "Because of some previous cases, my father was sent to prison again a few years ago. After that, he once again He was released on parole. He also assured me that he would never continue to commit crimes. But, I didn’t expect that he lied to me again.”

Thinking of the cause and effect of this incident, a trace of anger, helplessness, and remorse flashed across Stella's face.

According to the regulations of the prison and the court, although John Bridger was released on parole, he was not allowed to leave Los Angeles.

If Stella knew what happened to her father after he went to Italy, she would definitely contact the parole officer, or even call the police, and bring her father back to the Los Angeles prison and lock him up again.

At least that way, her father wouldn't die either.

"What happened later?" Chen Yongren asked curiously.

"Later, my father and a group of friends went to Venice, Italy. He told me on the phone that this time he and his group of friends were eyeing a batch of gold worth more than 3500 million.

He told me that after completing this order, he and I will no longer need to worry about money, and he can also really wash his hands. "

"Why does this sound a bit familiar?"

"What do you mean?" Stella didn't understand Chen Yongren's sudden words.

"Oh, it's nothing, you continue." Chen Yongren smiled and waved his hands. Of course, he would not tell Stella that these words were most often said by gamblers who were nostalgic for casinos.

Every time, these people said that as long as they made enough money, they would never do it again and spend a peaceful life with their relatives and friends.

However, their end result is the same.First I lost all my money, then borrowed usury, then lost all my money, and finally my family was ruined.

So, even if Stella didn't say that her father was dead just now.From the words the other party said alone, Chen Yongren knew that her father's fate would not be much better.

However, Stella's next words were beyond Chen Yongren's expectations: "This time, my father succeeded again. Just like every time he stole other people's things in the past, he succeeded at that time. It's just that after he succeeded in the past, He will face the pursuit of the police. This time, he encountered the betrayal of his friends."

Hearing this, Chen Yongren already understood and guessed what might happen next: "Your father was blackmailed by his friends?"

"Yes," Stella nodded: "There is a guy named Steve in that group, and he had already made arrangements. After they successfully stole this batch of gold, they arranged a The gunmen went after my father and other members."

"So, apart from Steve, your father and everyone else are dead?" Looking at Stella who was gnashing his teeth, Chen Yongren asked.

But in his heart, Chen Yongren actually admired that Steve.

Everyone is a thief, and they come out to do things for money.In this case, betraying each other is not a very normal thing.

In the commercial society, many countries and large commercial companies rarely speak honesty, not to mention a group of guys who are messing around.

If you want to blame, you can only blame John Bridger for being too stupid.

If Chen Yongren were that Steve, he would definitely do the same.Moreover, he estimated that he would do even better than the other party.

Thinking of this, Chen Yongren looked at Stella clenching her teeth with gentle eyes.

Stella didn't know what was going on in Chen Yongren's mind, otherwise he would have slapped this affectionate-looking guy and told him to leave immediately.

Stella shook her head, thinking of her father's friends, she was very angry and dissatisfied: "No, those damned guys managed to escape. Those bastards, bastards! Only my father is dead, and the others are not dead."

Chen Yongren wondered if he heard it wrong: "You mean, among those people, only your father died, and none of them died?"

Stella said angrily, "No."

Chen Yongren tentatively asked: "Among those people, is your father the one with the lowest status?"

"What do you mean?" Stella gave Chen Yongren a vicious look first, then quickly understood the meaning of Chen Yongren's words, and shook her head again and again: "No, my father is the highest among those people, and he is also the oldest. biggest."

Hearing this introduction, Chen Yongren was no longer interested in continuing to ask questions.

In his opinion, a thief with the highest status and most senior qualifications became the only one who died.

Combined with the other party's past experience of being arrested by the police, Chen Yongren can already confirm that this so-called John Bridger may be a very powerful expert in opening safes.However, in the field of crime, the ability is very general.

For such a dead ghost with average ability, Chen Yongren has no interest in knowing anything about it.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, the past is over, let's think about something happy."

Let's talk, Chen Yongren hugged Stella's body tightly in his arms again.

Feeling Chen Yongren's firm and strong embrace, Stella, who understood the other party's plan, shook her head again and again: "Aren, let's do this for today. After rowing for such a long time, I am already tired. I just want to have a good rest now."

In order to divert Chen Yongren's attention, Stella went on to talk about other things: "By the way, Ah Ren, tell me about the case you solved on Hong Kong Island before."

"Okay, no problem." Although Chen Yongren intends to continue rowing, he also knows that human physical strength is always limited.

Since the opponent has no strength to continue, even though Chen Yongren has recovered, he will not force the opponent.

Anyway, it's a long time coming.

"I have been working as a policeman on Hong Kong Island for many years, and I have encountered many cases. Let me tell you, some of these cases are very interesting..."

In the following time, while enjoying the cool breeze on the lake, the two chatted about various interesting cases that happened on Hong Kong Island.

After the sweat on both of them was dry, they put on their clothes again and rowed the boat towards the shore: "Let's go, let's find a place to eat, replenish some energy, and then go back to my hotel to have a good sleep .”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

As soon as Stella finished speaking, the cell phone in her pocket rang.

"It's my company's number," Stella explained briefly when she saw the caller ID on her mobile phone, and then connected the call: "What's the matter!"

Not knowing what was said on the other side, Stella looked a little reluctant, she first glanced at Chen Yongren beside her, and then said to the phone: "Can't those guys go to New York to take this business? ...Okay, I see, I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, Stella looked at Chen Yongren apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ren, the safe in the home of a big client in New York couldn't be opened, so he contacted our company. The people under me don't know about that safe either. , I need to rush there myself.”

Chen Yongren's eyes widened, he was joking, and another one: "You mean, you are going to leave Los Angeles temporarily and fly to New York for a business trip."
