Chapter 584 Gold Mine Yields, and the Limb-Breaking Vigilante

It wasnt because Elsa was very hard to deal with, but because the iron lady was too intimidating and most male detectives didnt want to taste being suppressed by her aura.

Luke and Selina were the only two in the Major Crimes Division who might be Elsas subordinates in name but were actually more like her friends.

Luke had set an example by joking with Elsa every day.

Naturally, Selina wasnt scared either.

So, the relationship among the three was very natural.

Thus, the backyard that afternoon became a playground for the three women.

Luke simply set the grill to keep the food warm, before he went back inside to work.

Since he couldnt tan, he was only keeping Selina company during the occasional moment that he sunbathed.

Since she had someone else to keep her company today, Luke decided to go to the basement and tinker around with his own hobbies.

Suddenly, he received a call.

He spoke into the phone for a while, and then helplessly dropped his tools.

von

He said goodbye to the women in the backyard before he drove off, leaving the place to them.

The call was from Jenny, who sounded pretty angry.

He could only go and interact with this old secretary slash new CEO.

He barely entered the hotel room Jenny had directed him to, when she jumped into his arms and bit his face.

Luke smiled apologetically and didnt resist.

After venting her fury, Jenny finally breathed heavily in his arms.

“Whats your problem The mine is already starting to produce gold, but youve never once asked about it Arent you afraid that someone will rip you off”

Luke chuckled and said, “I have you there, right”

Naturally, he couldnt say that Bobby, his human polygraph, was there to monitor the situation the whole time.

He was the only one who knew about Bobbys mental abilities, and naturally, nobody had any idea that the gold mine was under Lukes constant surveillance.

At that moment, the gold mine was operating under the supervision of Jenny, Bobby, Chris and Samantha.

Finally, Jenny reported the companys recent development to Luke.

The new mother lode in Boom Town was already producing an abundant yield.

After just a dozen days of work, profits already amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Jenny didnt manage the gold mines too much; she simply standardized the infrastructure.

There were established templates for that.

As long as the administration was in place, she didnt have to do anything.

Thanks to the excellent business skills which she had inherited from her parents, she had completed most of her courses in the last half-year, and wasnt far from graduating.

At that moment, she was mostly focused on building the phone company.

Currently, the phone companys startup phase was being funded by her investment.

She pressed Lukes hand and said seriously, “My money will be used up before the product hits the market.

Do you have a plan”

Luke said with a smile, “Thats fine.

I made some money recently.

Lets put it into the phone company.”

Jenny was surprised.

“How much did you make”

“Five million,” said Luke casually.

Jenny: “…”

With Lukes new investment, Jenny said that she would reduce her shares accordingly.

However, that wasnt the only problem that the phone company faced.

“Your phone needs network support in order for those new and convenient functions to work, right” she asked.

Luke nodded.

“But I already did some research.

Theres no wide-scale systematic wireless network in the whole world.

Our phones are too advanced!” she continued.

Luke thought for a moment.

“Youre saying…”

“The network has to be constructed by a big corporation.

Our money wont be nearly enough, even if we invest all the profits from the gold mine into it,” said Jenny.

Luke pondered for a moment.

“Look into Weyland Corporation.

I remember that its a major corporation that deals mainly in global telecommunications, right”

Jenny was blank.

“You want them to build and promote the wireless network”

Luke smiled.

“It doesnt hurt to try.

You have to let them know the benefits of a wireless network.”

With that, the boring stuff was finally dealt with, and Luke and Jenny got down to real business.

The business went on for a long time.

Luke returned home the next morning.

Selina wasnt at home.

Naturally, Dollar wasnt, either.

Luke had received a text message last night.

Elizabeth had been so excited the previous day that she had gotten drunk.

She dragged Selina back to her place to talk all night.

Selina didnt refuse.

Elizabeth mainly wanted to talk about the gold mine as well.

Once the gold mine started to produce results, her mothers 5% share in the mining company had turned from paper wealth into real money.

Elizabeth had learned about the recent mine profits from her mother, Samantha.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally many times, the number was still too big for her to contain herself.

But she was a cautious person, and didnt want to talk to an outsider about it.

She could only come to Selina.

Luke Forget it.

As his first student, smart Elizabeth had realized earlier on that this normally warm person was in fact inwardly aloof.

She didnt have the courage to talk to him.

Since none of the gluttons were here, Luke made a very simple breakfast and ate on his own.

He then left home with a packed box of breakfast.

Selina would go to the police department with Elizabeth.

He didnt need to wait for her.

He arrived at the police department, only to find that Selina and Elizabeth hadnt arrived yet.

He was too lazy to call them.

With Gold Nugget around, it wouldnt be easy for anything to happen to Selina.

It was more likely that Elizabeth had been too drunk.

After giving Elsa some food, Luke sat down in front of his computer.Sonia, the black female detective and intelligence expert, came over.

Luke pointed casually at the food box.

“Help yourself.”

Sonia didnt bother acting polite, and took out two paper bags.

She opened them and clicked her tongue.

“Whats this Lobster” Luke said in a low voice, “King crab.

Eat them quietly and dont say anything.”

Sonias lips moved, but she dropped the subject and said something else, “I made a couple of interesting discoveries.

Want to hear it”

Luke gestured for her to pull a chair over and sit down, while he took out two bottles of Guaraná from his drawer and gave her one of them.

“Of course.

Heres your commission.”

Sonia rolled her eyes but opened the bottle anyway.

She then said, “Its two things.

Firstly, avigilante appeared in our district about two weeks ago.” Lukes hand that was holding the juice paused briefly.

He didnt say anything.

Sonia: “The numbers are incomplete, but they show that thisvigilante sent more than two hundred hoodlums to the hospital in the last two weeks.

Of course, the hospital only took in 213 of them; many more didnt go to a hospital at all.”

Luke raised an eyebrow.

“So diligent How many of those scumbags died” Sonia heaved a sigh.

“None.

Practically all of them had broken legs, and those who were going to shoot also had broken arms; the most wretched ones had their five limbs broken.”

Luke widened his eyes and he smacked his lips.

“Five limbs”
