Worton's house is quite big, but it's just a high-end community in the Los Angeles area, not luxurious.

The decoration in the room is also relatively ordinary, with everything a middle-class family should have and nothing that shouldn't be there.

"Please have a seat. What would you like to drink? We have whiskey, tequila, and brandy. Linda likes to have a glass of red wine before bed, but I prefer beer."

Worton took out a case of beer from the refrigerator and asked Gao Guang and the others, "Do you want to drink hard liquor or have beer with me?"

Gao Guang chose beer, and so did Mike, but Francisco shook his head solemnly.

Worton looked at Francisco in surprise and exclaimed, "Hey, buddy, what happened to your mouth? Did they hit you?"

Francisco shook his head and looked at Gao Guang. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "No one hit me. I bit myself."

Gao Guang looked concerned and asked, "Why did you bite yourself?"

Francisco replied with a serious expression, "Because I'm afraid I'll talk. My former boss told me that I have a big mouth and can't keep secrets. If I go to a place like the police station, it's best not to say a word. So I have to bite my mouth to prevent myself from saying anything."

So that's why. Francisco's answer surprised Gao Guang, but after thinking about it, he felt that the best choice for Francisco, with his intelligence, was to not say anything.

"Well done, keep it up."

Gao Guang affirmed Francisco's approach. If you don't know what to say or what not to say, it's best not to speak, which will save a lot of trouble.

Just then, the door opened and Linda and Gao Guang returned one after the other.

At the FBI, Linda was a very cold middle-aged woman, serious and rarely smiled. But after returning home and seeing the several people sitting on the sofa, she first squeezed out a smile, nodded at them, and then said gently, "Hello."

Worton waved at Linda from the sofa and said loudly, "Darling, come sit and have a drink. What would you like?"

Linda hesitated for a moment, but still smiled apologetically at Gao Guang and the others, saying, "I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment. Darling, come with me, okay?"

Gao Guang thought Linda would speak to Worton in a commanding tone. In his imagination, that's how Worton and Linda interacted. Regardless of age or status, Linda was much older than Worton.

But at this moment, Linda behaved like a gentle girl. She requested Worton to leave with her instead of demanding it.

Worton stood up and looked helpless as he said to Gao Guang and the others, "Well, it seems like my girlfriend has something to tell me. We'll be back soon, everyone."

Smiling apologetically at Gao Guang and the others again, Linda and Worton walked into the bedroom. After thinking for a moment, Linda whispered to Worton, "Darling, you made it difficult for me today. As a senior member of the Los Angeles Police Department, going to the FBI for someone, do you know what that means?"

Worton frowned, and Linda hurriedly said, "I'm not blaming you, but today's matter didn't need to be handled this way. Darling, the people they are involved with are arms dealers, and the forces behind those arms dealers are very complex. If they are involved, it means their backgrounds are equally complex."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Worton didn't sound displeased, but he asked Linda seriously. After hesitating for a moment, Linda whispered, "Yes, darling, I am indeed teaching you how to handle such matters. Don't be angry, but I shouldn't have used my position to go to the FBI to get them. It has a bad influence, and I owe some favors now. I'm not saying that your friends are not important, but it's unnecessary to owe favors for such a small matter."

Worton nodded, then said seriously, "Linda, listen to me. I know I shouldn't have let you go and bring them back, but you did your research beforehand, and you know there's no problem, right? And Linda, they are my friends. Although we haven't known each other for long, they are indeed my friends, and they are not small-time thugs. They run a company."

Linda sighed lightly and said, "I know they are not small-time thugs, but it's unnecessary..."

"Let me finish."

Linda immediately stopped talking.

"Now let me tell you why I want to help them. Besides the fact that they are my friends, they can also help me. Gao's suggestion is very feasible, and if I cooperate with him, I can quickly gain the merits I need for promotion. Most importantly, this can really make money, even a lot of money. I can treat this as a career."

After Worton calmly finished speaking, he grabbed Linda's shoulders with both hands and whispered, "Some things can't be solved just by words. We have to show sincerity and let them see your abilities. We need to give them the courage to turn their ideas into actions. That's why I let you handle it, darling. This opportunity is rare because there is no real risk involved. Do you think I don't care about your situation at all?"

Linda smiled and then said in a somewhat embarrassed voice, "You should have told me earlier. You have thought it through. I'm sorry, darling, I shouldn't have..."

"Why apologize?" Worton stopped Linda's words and said with a gentle expression, "Now go out and meet my friends."Worton came out holding Linda's hand, then he proudly wrapped his arm around Linda's waist and said loudly, "Gentlemen, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend Linda, or you can call her my fiancée. If nothing unexpected happens, we will get married this year."

Gao Guang and the others all stood up, and then Worton pointed at Gao Guang and said, "This is Gao Guang, Gao, my girlfriend. You've met once before."

Gao Guang walked forward, extended his hand, and said to Linda, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Worton was several years older than Gao Guang, and Linda was his girlfriend and fiancée. Gao Guang thought it was appropriate to call her sister-in-law.

But Linda was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and shook hands with Gao Guang, saying, "Hello, Worton often mentioned you. And today I heard that you defeated the special police team in the training camp. Oh, nice to meet you."

Worton was also very happy and said, "Mike, he is a celebrity. This is Francisco, they are all my friends."

Mike's emotional intelligence was needless to say, he said a series of compliments without hesitation. But when it came to Francisco, there was a problem.

Francisco looked at Linda without saying a word, and didn't say anything when shaking hands. He tightly bit his lip, and Gao Guang knew something was wrong. This guy definitely had nothing good to say, and he knew it wasn't good, so he held back and didn't dare to speak.

Linda let go of Francisco's hand, with a concerned and slightly alert expression, she asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Francisco shook his head, but then nodded. Gao Guang quickly said, "He's not feeling well."

"No."

Francisco suddenly spoke, looking at Gao Guang and said, "I'm fine. I just feel that she is different from what I imagined. I thought she was a very annoying and old-fashioned woman, but she is much younger and more beautiful than I imagined. She is also very powerful and gentle. She doesn't look like an old woman at all. I wish I could find a wife like her."

After saying this in one breath, Francisco suddenly closed his mouth and covered it with his hand.

Looking at Linda's extremely surprised expression, Francisco let go of his hand and said painfully, "I'm sorry, my, my brain doesn't work well."

Gao Guang quickly said, "Yes, yes, his brain doesn't work well. I'm sorry, this, um, we..."

Gao Guang was about to cry, while Mike widened his eyes, his dark face becoming even darker. Worton, on the other hand, stood there like a wooden chicken.

It's a mess. Gao Guang's heart was pounding at least 180 beats per minute. Now he was not only scared, but also felt embarrassed. The intense onset of embarrassment made him at a loss.

Linda suddenly laughed, and then she said to Francisco, "Am I really as good as you said?"

Francisco looked pained, hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and solemnly said, "I swear to God, if I lie, let me immediately fall into hell. Sorry, I really can't speak well, so I usually don't speak."

Linda seemed a bit shy, while Worton hugged Linda's waist again and said with a smile, "Alright, you don't have to speak now, so as not to make my girlfriend too shy. But what you said is right, many people are surprised when they hear about our age difference. That's because they don't know how perfect Linda is."

Worton sat down, pulled Linda, and she sat next to him, with a girlish posture on her face.

Linda was the third most important person in the Los Angeles Police Department, and she could control thousands of people. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had a high position and authority.

But now, Linda was just a woman deeply in love, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she looked like a little girl.

Why, why was this?

Because of love, this is the power of love.

Gao Guang suddenly understood, he suddenly understood why Worton could win Linda's heart.

Everyone saw Linda as her status, but only Worton truly saw her as a woman, and then they started dating, it's that simple.

Having figured it out, having a clear mind, Gao Guang let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Worton and Linda, "When are you getting married? Let me know, I'll give you a gift."

"The specific wedding date hasn't been set yet. We are tentatively planning to get married in September."

Worton smiled happily, Linda didn't have the shyness of a little girl, but it was clear that she was really happy. So she looked at Worton with a doting expression and said, "Yes, Worton thinks September is better. After the date is set, we will definitely formally invite everyone to attend the wedding."

"Definitely, definitely, we must attend."

At this point, Worton waved his hand and said, "Now let's talk about business, my dear, tell them about the results of your investigation."

Linda, who was meeting for the first time, was an iceberg beauty, but Linda at home couldn't be described as passionate, but she also made people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. She smiled and said, "I have checked. There are 223 stores in North Hollywood that have registered armed security guards. The stores that hire security guards are even larger. As for the stores without professional security guards, there are even more, but they are all small stores and don't have much commercial value."

This investigation was efficient and direct. Gao Guang nodded and said, "That's a lot."

Speaking of business, Linda's expression became slightly serious, but Worton looked at her affectionately. After a brief eye contact, Linda's face bloomed with a smile again and said, "But if we include West Hollywood and Hollywood, there are 804 stores with armed security guards. This number is quite considerable."

Worton said to Gao Guang, "Is this sample size enough?""Okay, okay, very good."

Gao Guang nodded repeatedly, then he said seriously, "I will also investigate later to see how much money these shops need to spend on security every month, and how many shops are at risk of being robbed frequently."

Linda smiled and said, "These police stations have complete information. I have already compiled the alarm records of the past three years. You can take a look at the data as a reference."

What else can he say? Gao Guang felt that they had already finished their work, and now it was his turn to take action. Otherwise, what use would he be?

Gao Guang said seriously, "In that case, I will conduct a commercial investigation tomorrow to find out how much money they need."

Linda smiled again and said, "It takes too long for you to collect the materials yourselves. It would be better to let the Investigation and Analysis Department do the statistics. It is more convenient for them to do this work, and the time to get feedback will be shorter."

Warton laughed and said, "Yes, I think you should focus on the people involved in receiving and selling stolen goods. What do you think?"

Gao Guang had nothing to say. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I will investigate tomorrow."

"There are some people involved in receiving and selling stolen goods who have records at the police station. I can give you a list. It may not be complete, but it can save some time. You need to communicate with these people."

Linda became serious again, but she quickly relaxed and smiled, "I believe you can do it well."

If they couldn't handle this small matter, there would be no need to cooperate with them. Gao Guang said seriously, "Of course, this is what we are good at."

"And as for the legal issues, it's better for you to handle them. I can introduce a good lawyer to you, or do you have someone in mind?"

He said calmly, "I currently don't have a candidate for a lawyer. It's better for you to recommend one to me. I will talk to him first."

Gao Guang was already numb. With Linda as his girlfriend, Warton would be unreasonable if he failed. Of course, it would be unreasonable if he failed.
