Chapter 787 The stubborn old man and the good child (1 more)

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

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

Although Joseph was very young, he was quite smart.

Catherine and Luke mentioned during a chat that Joseph's IQ is likely to meet the requirements of entering Mensa Club.

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

Joseph easily judged that the best candidate for help was Luke.

Luke did not dare to take this younger brother's words lightly, and immediately dialed Drex's cell phone, but the phone was busy.

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

One minute later, Drex's cell phone was still busy.

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

Luke nodded.

Ranch veterinarian Ferrera worked with Selena's dad for many years.

Joseph just said that Ferreira is also in Dallas, so you can confirm the situation when contacting Ferreira.

Ferreira's phone was answered soon.

Selena just said a few words, then turned on her phone and put it on her hands-free side.

As expected, Ferreira was already on the way to pick Joseph, but he didn't know why Drex was so angry.

Luke just asked him to come to Drex as soon as possible to make sure he could contact his grumpy grandfather.

Even Robert kept his temper away from Drex's temper, and he could imagine how difficult it was for the old man to persuade him.

Drex is born with a bad temper and it is difficult to control it all the time. When he goes to his daughter Catherine's house, he will definitely argue with Robert every day, so it will be difficult for his daughter and grandchildren to deal with it.

Catherine also understood his thoughts. She asked her three grandchildren to go to the ranch for weekends when she had time, and Drex stayed at the ranch with peace of mind.

In the words of this stubborn old man, he was used to working and living on the ranch and did not need to go to Shakford to retire.

Drex is in good health, and there are about ten people working on the ranch, so he is not afraid of no one notifying him if he has any problems.

However, the stubborn old man still has weaknesses.

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

He was completely spoiled to Claire and Joseph, two young people.

If Claire and Joseph hadn't just been to have fun on weekends and holidays, this stubborn old man would have spoiled his two grandchildren.

For example, it was definitely Joseph's idea to go to Dallas to watch a speed show this time, otherwise Drex would be in his early seventies and would not be interested in watching such a show.

A few minutes later, Luke finally called Drex's cell phone.

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

The stubborn old man was anxious because he said he hung up the phone directly.

Selena: "I'll ask you for leave?"

Luke sighed: "I'll just say hello to Elsa myself, my holiday is gone long ago."

If this happened two days earlier, he could take a legitimate vacation on the weekend.

Now he can only go through the back door and report to Elsa to avoid emergency cases being sent to him.

If she is investigated in a special situation, Elsa will immediately issue him a leave note.

Of course, without the support of a hardcore boss, ordinary police detectives would not dare to play like this.

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

After four o'clock in the afternoon, he left Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, got into a taxi outside the airport and headed straight to the hotel.

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

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

Seeing Luke, he shook his hand in annoyance and left: "Why are you back? I'm not in a state of confusion yet, don't worry about me."

Luke followed into the room, closed the door casually, and hugged the old man's shoulder: "Grandpa, if I don't care about you, then there will be a problem."

The old man hummed, not refuting.

Although he has a stubborn temper, he can tell the difference.

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

Drex's head tilted: "Do you care about me!"

But he immediately answered again: "I'm just patting for the phone, haven't you drunk it yet?"

Luke smiled, walked to the refrigerator and took out two bottles of beer, and handed the old man a bottle: "The weather is hot, please relieve the fire."

The old man had no choice.

Luke has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he did not even have the same age as a naughty child.

Whenever he thinks of Luke's parents who died early, the old man feels even more sorry for him, thinking that he becomes so precocious and sensible because of his lack of parents.

According to the old man's concept, Texas boys should have been wild since childhood.

Fighting and fighting, smoking, drinking and picking up girls, the old man thinks that Texas boys should grow up like this.

Luke has basically never been involved in these things since he was a child.

If Luke and Shimena hadn't had a good time in the last two years of middle school, the old man would have suspected that his eldest grandson had a problem with his orientation.

Therefore, the old man couldn't speak hard words to Luke.

After drinking two sips of ice beer, Luke said, "Grandpa, I'm here to get back. In order not to waste air tickets, I can tell me the matter, right? Besides, I am also a third-level police detective in the Lapd Crime Team. The case-solving rate in Los Angeles is ranked first. If you really want to attack anyone, then I am familiar with the legal provisions and I know the police's case handling process very well..."

Drex raised his hand and surrendered: "Stop! I don't really want to shoot anyone, you don't have to think so carefully."

Luke's words meant almost "Even if you really kill someone, I can help you clean the floor."

Faced with such unconditional support from his family, how could the old man resist it?

The least he wants to make it difficult for his family, let alone let Luke do things that break the law for himself.

Luke smiled in his heart,

He knew very well that his grandfather was a person who was soft but not hard.

Instead of persuading him hard, it is better to start from the perspective of family affection so that he can truly calm down.

The old man sighed and calmed down a little, finally told the story.

After Luke listened silently, even though there was an old man cursing the murderer who killed his old brother in the middle, he did not interrupt his story.

After the old man stopped telling and gasped for a while, he asked, "Grandpa, you have someone in the police station, right? Otherwise, you would be unable to get the situation on the scene."

This case is very big, and it is less than a day after the incident.

In order to solve the case, the police station will definitely keep the details of them temporarily confidential.

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

Luke: "Can you ask him to take me to the scene?"

The old man hesitated.

He was unhappy and took the gun and wanted to kill anyone he wanted to kill.

But he didn't want to let Luke take the risk.
