Goodbye, Dad."
"…Go back early."
After Gwen came up, George and Kate understood almost everything. At most, they confirmed the timeline. Then, when they walked to the door, George bumped into Gwen who was just getting out of the elevator.
Then...
George opened his mouth and thought for a moment. To show his fatherly status, he looked at Gwen with a serious face and said, "Girl, do you know what time our family has curfew?"
Gwen forced a smile onto her face.
The elevator door closed.
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Locke at the door, a little curious: "Why is my dad here? Did he get demoted? Is it not his responsibility to take care of stolen vehicles?"
Locke smiled and said, "Maybe Mr. Stacy saw that it was my lost car, so he came to take a look."
Gwen nodded. "That's right."
If it is an ordinary car theft incident, there are countless cars stolen in New York City every day. The chance of recovering the car is good, but still quite small.
But if a sheriff personally inquires about it, it will increase the chances of recovery.
Not to mention that Locke's car was not actually stolen, but simply became a stolen car used by the suspect. Moreover, the New York Police Department has found the car, and the shell after the explosion has been pulled back to the police station parking lot.
In this case, it actually makes sense for George to come over.
after all...
If an ordinary police officer came here, Locke would probably be identified as the suspect's partner by the police.
Gwen thought about it and felt quite grateful to her father.
Locke invited Gwen home, then walked to the refrigerator: "I only have drinks here, do you want any?"
Gwen waved her hand. "I just came to check it out. But what about your car? Will the insurance company still pay for it?"
Locke shook his head: "I don't know. I called the insurance agent last night, but it seemed like he didn't want to talk to me."
This is also the truth.
The insurance agent who was selling me insurance when I bought the car must be crying in the toilet at this moment.
Less than ten hours after Locke bought the car, a corpse fell from the sky and smashed the car to pieces. Because a New York Police Department sergeant was involved, the insurance company quickly paid compensation.
But they paid quickly, and Locke was also quick.
The car was stolen that day, and then, in the blink of an eye, it appeared in the live broadcast of The Fast and the Furious that shocked New York yesterday, once again clearly and distinctly showing the entire process of a car going from brand new to scrapped.
what to do?
Will you still compensate me?
It is not yet known whether the insurance company will pay compensation, but Locke is sure that the insurance agent who sold him the insurance at that time was about to faint.
The auto insurance business is profitable.
But on Locke's side, after paying an insurance premium of 3,000 yuan, he not only broke the capital, but also made a huge profit of two Audi R8s.
Gwen listened to Locke's words, thinking of the image of the insurance agent bent over and crying, and couldn't help laughing. Then she looked up at Locke who was looking at her and said quickly, "I'm sorry."
Locke said, "It's okay. I couldn't help it either."
Gwen had a strange expression on her face, and then she couldn't help laughing.
The insurance agent who bought Locke's car insurance was so miserable!
but...
Both of them seemed to have missed the point.
That afternoon, Locke Auto's insurance company called.
Locke and Gwen finished their weekend homework together and went downstairs. Then, they saw a brand new silver Audi R8 on the side of the road.
Good job.
Then, after handing over the new keys to Locke and taking a photo, the insurance agent smiled and promised that the premium would not increase next year.
Left happily.
"What's going on?"
"Well..."
Locke frowned and looked at Gwen: "I think I know what's going on."
Gwen also thought of something: "So that's how it is. You're at a loss."
Locke: "…"
Obviously.
Personal thinking is personal thinking, and corporate thinking is corporate thinking. In my personal opinion, the insurance company suffered a huge loss by losing two Audi R8s in a row.
But don't forget.
The whole of New York City knew about yesterday's Fast and Furious.
As for the Audi R8, it is not important to the insurance company who the manufacturer is. What is important is who the insurance company of the Audi R8 is.
This is a great time to advertise.
There are many thieves in New York City, and even more car thieves.
At this time, the insurance company paid the compensation at the speed of light and took advantage of this big news to advertise. It is entirely possible to achieve an advertising effect of one million US dollars with a price of eighty thousand US dollars.
That's why Gwen said Locke was at a loss.
Locke shook his head. "It's not a loss. I've already explained that I don't like being famous. If they write my name or slap my face on it, that would be great. I can make a splash and make a killing."
Gwen nodded, "That's right."
Locke opened the passenger door and looked at Gwen: "Shall I take you home?"
Gwen didn't refuse either.
She was originally preparing to go home. The reason she came here today was not only to care about Locke whose car was stolen and to finish her written homework together, but also to get back the insulated box of pastries she had brought to Locke not long ago.
Gwen's house.
Locke sat at the dining table, looking into George's eyes, feeling a little confused.
Did he eat too much at Gwen's?
I've only been here twice, both times just in time for dinner.
Locke could clearly feel the change in the look in George's eyes as he sat opposite him.
Could it be that he discovered something?
Next second.
"Where is the car parked?"
"???"
George took a sip of his first whiskey since arriving home. "Where's the car?"
car?
Gwen smiled and said, "Dad, I asked Locke to park the car in the indoor parking lot on the corner."
Um.
If it happens again, the insurance company will definitely not cry, but Gwen feels that Locke will definitely cry.
The car seemed to have been bought many days ago, but it seemed that it did not stay in Locke's hands for a full twenty-four hours.
This is a sad story.
George nodded seriously: "The surveillance over there is good, right?"
Locke laughed slowly.
Gwen's mother, Helen, came out of the kitchen, brought the food to the table, and said to George, who was looking for something to talk about, "Okay, eat quickly and go to bed after you finish eating."
This car...
No hesitation.
Locke lowered his head.
Gwen was speechless: "Mom..."
Although her mom and dad have always had a good relationship, otherwise she wouldn't have had a younger brother last year.
but...
Locke is still here, so be careful of the impact.
Helen looked at Gwen and smiled, "Is there anything wrong? Your father has been busy since last night and hasn't had a chance to rest. Besides, Locke is not an outsider, right?"
Gwen blushed: "Mom.
