Now Selena's daily expenses are basically in cash, otherwise she and the "little treasury" of gold nuggets will be useless.

Luke specially asked Ginny to make a small year-end dividend for the shareholders of the mobile phone company not long ago, the amount is not much, but Selena also has hundreds of thousands of income.

Compared to last year, Selena has too much money in her hands, so she naturally chooses to buy some good gifts for her family.

The things she bought last year were not cheap, but they were all normal household items, such as clothes, accessories, alcohol, and household appliances.

This year, her gift to her dad Marino was an Ayumars Piguet Royal Oak offshore watch, which cost more than $20,000, which is not too expensive — because her mother Sandra gave her a diamond necklace that cost about $50,000.

However, as long as Marino is willing to do so, the watch can be carried in the hand at any time, and diamond necklaces are most of the time best placed in a jewelry box.

Selena had long heard Sander joke that it would be thankful to have a diamond necklace worth thousands of dollars in her life.

This year, the Hayek family, decided to give Sandra a happy Christmas.

Early in the morning of the 22nd, Luke drove Selena and the gold nuggets, as well as several large boxes of gifts, onto the plane.

Marino, who has become a rancher, no longer has to stay on the ranch as he used to, so he will go to the Dallas airport to pick him up, and Selena doesn't have to worry about carrying her luggage.

Seeing Selena off and Luke took it easy.

Seeing that it was still early, he called Yelena.

This girl will not go back to France for Christmas this year, she said that because the air ticket is too expensive, she decided to work and study in New York.

Luke, a smart person, of course, would not be so idiotic as to quietly buy her a transoceanic ticket as a Christmas present, the kind of straight man who deserves to have no girlfriend for the rest of his life.

He parked his car at his New Jersey cottage and called the rental car to bring a Ford Explorer to him before driving to Yelena's school.

Coincidentally, Yelena's school is located in North Bergen.

A few kilometres further north of the school is the textile factory of the Mutual Aid Society.

While Luke was driving, he was also thinking about the mutual aid society.

During this time, he occasionally wore ordinary casual clothes to go to the textile factory at night.

However, he did not sneak in directly, but used several micro-drones left inside to monitor at a fixed point to obtain intelligence, and after continuous monitoring for a long time, he obtained a large number of details of the activities of the mutual aid association, and the relevant information in his hands became more and more perfect.

In this world, it is very difficult to achieve complete secrecy.

If you want to persevere without leaks, it is even more difficult.

Mutual aid associations, an organization that has been in the limelight for hundreds of years, inevitably have many loopholes.

Even if they are not really antiques, even if they have professionals inspecting the inside and outside of the textile mill almost every day, including the detection of various electronic devices.

It's a pity that the technological level of their detection instruments is too far from the top goods from Tony Stark, and the micro drones left behind by Luke have not been found.

Sloane, the old fox, also has a clue about the source of the raw materials for the medicinal bath that is hidden deeply.

Not long ago, the Rat Exterminator notified Sloan when the finished medicated bath was running out.

Sloane then went on an outing, and when he returned, he handed over the new medicated bath ingredients to the rat exterminator.

Thankfully, a micro-drone kept an eye on the medicine room, but if it weren't for Luke's help with Gary, there was a real chance that he would have missed this clue.

During an investigation into Sloan's trip, the polyhedral system discovered his tracks.

Sloan, an outdated old guy, used a fake identity and did a lot of disguise, but he was inadvertently ingested by a girl who loves to take selfies, so he was still listed as a highly suspicious target by the polyhedral system.

Gary repeatedly investigates his possible course of action, and more clues prove that this is Sloan himself.

The plane he took under a false identity also had a clear destination - Iquitos, Peru.

Luke himself did not have time to go to Iquitos in person.

He just used the Internet payment method to find two well-known private detective agencies to investigate Sloan's whereabouts, and by the way, to find out if there were any "legends" similar to the curative effects of medicinal baths.

It's just a matter of a little money, it's best to have a harvest, and it's not a waste if you don't get it.

Once the source of the raw materials for the medicated bath was determined, the mutual aid association was basically useless.

At that point, Luke only had to think about how to take the Mutual Aid with him in waves and get as many XP points as possible.

One last glance north of North Bergen, Luke parked his car outside the gate of the Paland Art School, opened the door and got out of the car.

On the side of the gate road, a petite figure was stamping its feet there, a little trembling.

When the Ford Explorer drove by, she just turned and walked towards the gate, so she didn't notice it.

Luke walked over and picked her up and spun her around, "Aha, see what I caught?" A fragrant little beauty. ”

Before Yelena, who was picked up by him, could be surprised, she heard his words and immediately laughed: "No, I'm just a lost little rabbit." ”

Luke put her down, led her to the car with one hand, and slapped the snowflakes on her body with the other: "It's a pity that I'm not a big bad wolf, but a caring animal protector." ”

The girl let him help her clean up the snowflakes, and said, "Hey, shouldn't you say that you are a hunter?" ”

Luke sighed, "But hunters usually carry double-barreled shotguns." ”

Yelena was stunned, and before she understood the logic of her words, the two arrived in front of the car.

Tucking the petite Yelena into the passenger seat, closing the door, Luke walked back to the driver's seat, got into the car and started to leave.

The air conditioning in the car was warm, and Yelena took off her beige hat and thick coat on her head, put it in the back seat, and looked at him with a smile: "Are you on vacation?" ”

Luke shrugged: "Strictly speaking, I'm supposed to be at work, but no one checks my attendance." ”

Elena wondered, "Didn't you just come to the NYPD?" The boss is so relieved of you, well, wait, you won't be sent to sit on the cold bench, right? ”

Luke smiled: "I want to correct your misconception, the cold bench is just a cold position, but you have to sit there to go to work, even if you are bored, you can't leave." ”

Elena: "Then how can you slip through the shift?" Or are you going to have lunch with me and go back to work? ”

Luke smiled: "I'm not going to work today, I have a lot of time, and I'll take you to see all the scenery of New York." ”

Yelena was happy at first, but then she thought of something, and smacked him, and her face turned a little red.

Well, she's not shy, she's purely air-conditioned.

Not long after, the two drove to Times Square, and after parking the car, the two played at the "crossroads of the world".
