But, this "machine" isn't a plane, it's the airport shuttle bus.

After work, Luke drove to the street near the community, parked the car by the roadside, and waited for a while. A blue airport shuttle bus drove over and stopped not far away.

Luke also got out of the car, watching the passengers getting off the bus one after another.

There were both men and women, many of whom were tourists, waiting beside the bus to get their luggage after getting off.

An Asian middle-aged man stepped off the bus, looking around as if searching for someone.

"Dad." Luke called out and walked over to him.

"Luke, you're so busy with work, you don't need to come pick me up. I know the address to your house." Despite saying that, Li Zhaofeng was still very happy to see his son.

"I just finished work this afternoon, let's go." Luke picked up his father's suitcase and dragged it to the Mercedes G500, putting the luggage in the trunk.

Li Zhaofeng patted the black Mercedes car, saying with some envy, "This car has a big space, it's half a head taller than me."

Most men like cars, and Li Zhaofeng was no exception. But at his age, he had too many expenses, so even though he had some savings, he was reluctant to buy a luxury car.

Luke suggested, "Dad, are you tired? If you're not, why don't you take it for a test drive?"

Li Zhaofeng was a bit tempted but also a bit hesitant; he was really worried about scratching such a good car.

Luke saw his father's thoughts and directly sat in the passenger seat.

Li Zhaofeng also climbed into the driver's seat, excitedly saying, "The view in this car is really great." He adjusted the seat forward, as Luke was taller than him.

Li Zhaofeng was driving such a high-end car for the first time, and there were some differences from operating his own car. After Luke's brief introduction, Li Zhaofeng slowly started the car.

Li Zhaofeng drove very slowly, seemingly hesitant to step on the gas, Luke did not rush him, he just needed to get familiar.

At noon, Luke only had a burrito and was feeling a bit hungry, "Dad, I just got off work, didn't have time to cook today, let's go for some barbecue!"

"Alright, do you want to call your brother?"

Luke didn't respond immediately; calling the chubby kid or not didn't matter much. But if he called the chubby kid without calling his mom, it wouldn't be very good.

Luke said, "Alright, the chubby kid will definitely be happy, I'll call mom and see if the chubby kid is home."

Li Zhaofeng also seemed to have thought of something, waved his hand, "Forget it? It's too rushed today, let's invite them another day!"

The two went straight to the barbecue restaurant near the community.

A barrel of draft beer, a platter of peanuts and edamame, a roast lamb leg, two grilled lamb kidneys, twenty skewers, ten garlic grilled oysters.

These dishes were enough for two people, there was a small stove on the table for heating anytime, they ate and chatted.

Li Zhaofeng was a bit thirsty, he took half a glass of beer before saying, "A few days ago, I saw the news in Los Angeles about a shooting incident. Your director specifically assigned you to investigate, how's the case going?

Your coming to pick me up today won't delay the investigation, will it?"

Luke peeled peanuts while saying, "We caught the suspect of the supermarket shooting case today at noon. You were probably on the plane and missed it."

"Did you catch him?"

"Yes, I led the team to catch him."

Li Zhaofeng hurriedly examined his son, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine. But I did fire, so I can take a few days off. I can handle the house purchase and then show you around Los Angeles."

Li Zhaofeng advised, "You have to be careful when handling cases in the future, bring more people, you're now somewhat of a leader, don't always rush forward."

Luke nodded, "You're right. Nowadays, I rarely lead the charge when taking action.

I'm mostly responsible for commanding and coordinating on site."

Li Zhaofeng asked, "What time do you start working tomorrow?"

"Nine is fine, why?"

"I'm still a bit uneasy about the house purchase. Before paying, I want to go and see the villa." Although his son had already decided to buy the villa, since it's worth millions, Li Zhaofeng still wanted to help ensure everything is okay.

"Alright, then we'll set out early tomorrow." Luke naturally wouldn't refuse his father's kind intentions, "How do you think it's best to buy a house?"

Li Zhaofeng said, "I see your stock market earnings are pretty good, so don't touch the money in there yet. I will liquidate your other assets, and then we'll take out a loan to buy the house.

Your stock market earnings can not only offset the mortgage interest but also leave some surplus. Plus, if you urgently need cash, you can always pledge the stocks."

Luke nodded, he also thought this was a good idea, then mentioned capital liquidation matters like the US Dollar coins worth tens of thousands at the bottom of the fish tank. Also, the ten thousand US Dollar he just found in the villa.

Li Zhaofeng was an accountant, handling tax reports was his expertise, he could give Luke the most reasonable arrangement, saving Luke a lot of trouble. Otherwise, hiring an accountant wouldn't only cost money, but trust issues were also important.

Li Zhaofeng's arrival could help plan Luke's assets reasonably.

...

The next morning.

After getting up, Li Zhaofeng followed his son to Palisades Community to view the house, he was still curious about this villa that originally belonged to Gambling King Zhou Tiansheng.

Los Angeles was much larger than New York, with a stronger dependence on cars, so to make travel easier for Li Zhaofeng, Luke let him drive the Mercedes.
