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

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

It wasn’t because Elsa was very hard to deal with, but because the iron lady was too intimidating and most male detectives didn’t want to taste being suppressed by her aura.

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

Luke had set an example by joking with Elsa every day. Naturally, Selina wasn’t 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 couldn’t 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.

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 didn’t resist.

After venting her fury, Jenny finally breathed heavily in his arms. “What’s your problem? The mine is already starting to produce gold, but you’ve never once asked about it? Aren’t you afraid that someone will rip you off?”

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

Naturally, he couldn’t say that Bobby, his human polygraph, was there to monitor the situation the whole time.

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

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

Finally, Jenny reported the company’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t far from graduating.

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

Currently, the phone company’s startup phase was being funded by her investment.

She pressed Luke’s 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, “That’s fine. I made some money recently. Let’s put it into the phone company.”

Jenny was surprised. “How much did you make?”

“Five million,” said Luke casually.

Jenny: “…”

With Luke’s new investment, Jenny said that she would reduce her shares accordingly.

However, that wasn’t 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. There’s no wide-scale systematic wireless network in the whole world. Our phones are too advanced!” she continued.

Luke thought for a moment. “You’re saying…?”

“The network has to be constructed by a big corporation. Our money won’t 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 it’s 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 doesn’t 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 wasn’t at home. Naturally, Dollar wasn’t, 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 didn’t refuse.

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

Once the gold mine started to produce results, her mother’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t need to wait for her.

He arrived at the police department, only to find that Selina and Elizabeth hadn’t arrived yet.

He was too lazy to call them. With Gold Nugget around, it wouldn’t 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 didn’t bother acting polite, and took out two paper bags. She opened them and clicked her tongue. “What’s this? Lobster?” Luke said in a low voice, “King crab. Eat them quietly and don’t say anything.”

Sonia’s 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. Here’s your commission.”

Sonia rolled her eyes but opened the bottle anyway. She then said, “It’s two things. Firstly, a ‘vigilante’ appeared in our district about two weeks ago.” Luke’s hand that was holding the juice paused briefly. He didn’t say anything. Sonia: “The numbers are incomplete, but they show that this ‘vigilante’ 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 didn’t 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?”
