    "Luke, I'm very worried about grandpa, and my parents are not here, so I can only call you." Joseph said.

    Luke hummed and said, "I'll call him right away, don't worry." He hung up the phone.

    Although Joseph is very young, he is quite smart.

    When Catherine and Luke were chatting, they mentioned that Joseph¡¯s IQ is likely to meet the requirements to enter the Mensa club.

    Robert and Catherine are still in Europe, and Luke and Claire are in Los Angeles.

    Joseph easily determined that the best person to ask for help could only be Luke.

    Luke did not dare to take his brother's words lightly and immediately dialed Drake's cell phone, but the line was busy.

    He frowned and said, "Turn on repeat dialing." Then he put the phone on the center console.

    A minute later, Drakes¡¯ cell phone was still busy.

    Selena took out her cell phone: "I have Ferreira's phone number here, I'll call him."

    Luke hummed.

    Ferrera, the ranch veterinarian, has worked with Selena¡¯s dad for many years.

    Joseph just said that Ferreira is also in Dallas, and he can also confirm the situation by contacting Ferreira.

    Ferreira¡¯s call was quickly answered.

    Selena just said a few words, turned on the phone hands-free and put it over Luke's side.

    Ferreira was indeed on his way to pick up Joseph, but he still didn¡¯t know why Drakes was so angry.

    Luke just asked him to get to Drakes as soon as possible to ensure that he could contact his grumpy grandfather.

    Even Robert keeps away from Drakes' temper, so you can imagine how difficult it is to persuade this old man.

    Drakes is born with a bad temper, which is difficult to control all the time. When he goes to his daughter Catherine's house, he will definitely quarrel with Robert every day, which will make it difficult for his daughter and grandchildren to get along.

    Catherine also understood his thoughts and let her three grandchildren go to the ranch to spend weekends when she had time, so Drake could stay at the ranch with peace of mind.

    ??In the words of this stubborn old man, he is used to working and living on the ranch, and there is no need to go to Shackelford to retire.

    Drakes is indeed in good health, and there are almost ten people working on the ranch, so he is not afraid that no one will notify him if something happens.

    However, the stubborn old man still has weaknesses.

    He has been very fond of his grandson Luke since he was a child and rarely scolds him.

    ??She completely dotes on the two little ones, Claire and Joseph.

    If Claire and Joseph hadn¡¯t just gone to have fun on the weekend, this stubborn old man would have doted on his two grandsons.

    For example, it was definitely Joseph¡¯s idea to go to Dallas to watch the flying car show. Otherwise, Drakes is already in his early seventies, so he wouldn¡¯t be interested in watching such a show.

    A few minutes later, Luke finally dialed Drake's cell phone.

    Without saying a few words, he could only listen helplessly to the blind beeping tone coming from his mobile phone.

    The stubborn old man was told that he was in a hurry and hung up the phone directly.

    Selena: "Shall I ask for leave for you?"

    Luke sighed: "I just want to say hello to Elsa myself. My vacation is long gone."

    If this had happened two days earlier, he could have taken advantage of the weekend to take a legitimate vacation.

    Now he can only go through the back door and only report to Elsa to avoid any urgent cases being assigned to him.

    If he encounters special circumstances and is checked for attendance, Elsa will immediately issue him a leave request note.

    Of course, ordinary police detectives would not dare to do this without the support of their hard-core superiors.

    Luke drove all the way to the airport, directly booked the nearest flight, and boarded the plane an hour later.

    After four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, he came out of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, got into a taxi outside the airport and went straight to the hotel.

    More than half an hour later, he entered a three-star hotel and knocked on the door of 507.

    Drake's face appeared in the crack of the door.

    When he saw Luke, he threw away his hands in annoyance and left: "Why are you coming back? I haven't reached the age of old fool yet, so you don't need to worry about me."

    Luke followed him into the house, closed the door, and put his arm around the old man's shoulders: "Grandpa, if I don't care about you, then there will be a problem."

    The old man hummed and did not refute.

    Although he has a stubborn temper, he can distinguish between good and evil.

    Walking into the house, Luke and Drake sat down, picked up a bottle of whiskey on the table and glanced at the old man: "I remember, last timeThe doctor gave you a physical examination last time and said you should drink less and drink more wine and beer at most, right?  "

    Drakes tilted his head: "You care about me!"

    But he immediately answered: "I was busy making phone calls, and I haven't had a drink yet."

    Luke smiled, went to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of beer, and handed one to the old man: "It's hot, let's cool down."

    There is nothing the old man can do.

    Luke has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, even as a naughty boy.

    Every time he thought of Luke's parents who died young, the old man felt even more sorry for him, thinking that it was because of his lack of parents that he became so precocious and sensible.

    According to the old man¡¯s opinion, Texas boys should be wilder from an early age.

    Fighting, smoking, drinking and flirting with girls, this is how the old man believed a Texas boy should grow up.

    And Luke has basically never touched these things since he was a child.

    If Luke and Ximena hadn¡¯t gotten along in the last two years of middle school, the old man would have suspected that there was something wrong with his eldest grandson¡¯s orientation.

    Therefore, the old man cannot say anything harsh to Luke.

    After taking two sips of cold beer, Luke said: "Grandpa, I'm back in a hurry. In order not to waste the air ticket money, can you tell me what happened? Besides, I am also a third-level detective of the LAPD Major Crime Team.  , the crime detection rate ranks among the best in Los Angeles. If you really want to take action on someone, then I am familiar with the legal provisions, and I also know the police's case-handling procedures clearly"

    Drakes raised his hands in surrender: "Stop! I don't really want to shoot anyone, you don't have to think so carefully."

    Luke¡¯s words basically mean, ¡°Even if you really kill someone, I can still clean the floor for you.¡±

    Faced with the unconditional support of his family, how could the old man resist?

    The last thing he wanted was to make things difficult for his family, let alone to have Luke do illegal things for him.

    Luke chuckled in his heart,

    He knew very well that his grandfather was a soft-spoken person.

    Rather than persuading him hard, it is better to start from the aspect of family ties to make him really calm down.

    With a sigh, the old man, who had lost his temper a little, finally told the story.

    Luke listened silently, even if there was a section where the old man cursed the murderer who killed his old brother, he did not interrupt his story.

    When the old man stopped talking and took a breath, he asked: "Grandpa, do you have someone at the police station? Otherwise, we won't be able to grasp the situation at the scene."

    This case is very big, and it happened less than a day ago.

    In order to solve the case, the police station will definitely keep the details confidential for the time being.

    The old man hummed: "Among the people I know, there are juniors in the police station."

    Luke: "Can he take me to the scene to see it?"

    The old man hesitated.

    He was unhappy, so he took out his gun and killed anyone he wanted.

    But Luke was unwilling to take risks.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
