Luke was never a bleeding heart good guy.

But if he could use his authority to earn some extra cash, he was more than willing.

Why not enjoy a bit after risking his life for this city?

Luke didn't agree nor refuse, deciding to understand the situation first. He asked, "Who are they? What's the conflict between you?"

Zhang Jianguo said, "Before, I was doing business in New York with a friend, and later as the construction company developed, things got busy.

We split up, and I brought a group of hometown friends to develop in Los Angeles.

When we first got here, we had difficulties adjusting and faced many troubles. To expand our business quickly, we tried many ways, like collaborating with local building material suppliers.

Among them was a company called Golden Wolf Building Materials. We signed a three-year contract with them to purchase materials like cement, timber, rebar, sod, etc., and their company could help us deal with some issues.

Last year, the contract expired.

Other material suppliers contacted us, offering prices about thirty percent lower than Golden Wolf's, and with better quality.

At that point, we were quite displeased. Their materials were pricier yet not as good in quality. Were they treating us like fools?

When it was time to renew, we expressed to Golden Wolf that we hoped they would improve material quality and slightly lower prices. Even if their materials were ten percent more expensive than others, we'd accept it, but Golden Wolf didn't agree, insisting on renewing under the same contract terms.

Their attitude was quite firm, making us unhappy, and negotiations broke down.

Not long after, we signed a new contract with another supplier. Not only was the quality guaranteed, but prices were also thirty percent cheaper. Yet we hadn't been happy for long when a group of people came to make trouble, stopping our construction.

They're the four you've seen, causing trouble not only at your place but also at our construction sites.

I've found out that they belong to a gang called 'Asian Boys'.

Golden Wolf Building Materials is deeply connected with this Asian Boys gang. To put it bluntly, Golden Wolf is just a shell company profiting off the price difference.

I understand that such things are inevitable.

If Golden Wolf could ensure quality while being ten percent higher than the market price, I'd accept it.

Harmony brings wealth, after all, they did help us initially.

But their price is thirty percent higher and they can't ensure quality. For the long-term development of the company, I certainly can't renew with them."

Luke slightly furrowed his brows, "The materials used for building my house are okay, right?"

"Rest assured, we're using the best for you, also, that friend of yours, John, visits every few days. He knows his stuff, if you're unsure you can ask him.

We didn't renew with Golden Wolf to ensure material quality.

The company needs to grow stronger, I can't ruin my reputation.

I'm absolutely focused while building your villa."

Luke inquired further, "Do you have any other dealings with Golden Wolf Building Materials? Don't downplay things just to get my help.

If I find out, I definitely won't involve myself further."

"Rest assured, every word I've said is true." Zhang Jianguo sighed lightly, "I admit, when we first came to Los Angeles, Golden Wolf did help us, and we fulfilled the three-year contract.

Now that the contract has expired, for the future growth of the company, I can't stay unchanged according to the old contract."

Luke kept his eyes on the other, finding no signs of obvious lying. He'd heard of the 'Asian Boys' gang, known as a prominent Asian gang in Los Angeles.

The matter wasn't serious.

It wouldn't be hard for Luke to solve, but the question was, what's in it for him?

He simply hired Zhang's company to build his house. The contract fee was fully paid, there's no reason to settle their personal grievances.

Without benefits, why would Luke provoke gang members?

Luke probed, "Mr. Zhang, I'm with the Robbery and Murder Department, mainly dealing with homicide and major criminal cases, gang matters aren't under our jurisdiction.

But, I have a colleague in the Anti-gang and Narcotics Division, he might handle this."

"Captain Li, you're the only one I know and trust, as long as this issue gets resolved and Golden Wolf doesn't trouble me anymore, that's enough.

I'll only be responsible for paying and exerting efforts, nothing else.

Please do me this favor."

Luke smiled; this guy knows how to handle things, not to bother two people for one matter.

Luke was also willing to deal with smart individuals, he said, "I'll ask him, see if he's willing to help."

Zhang Jianguo showed a grateful expression, "I'll leave it to you then, I'll be sure to properly thank you once it's settled."

Luke didn't respond, some things are just understood between them.

"Is Mr. Li here? The delivery has arrived." A delivery guy walked into the yard with two boxes in hand.

Luke called the workers over for a meal.

He himself walked out of the yard and dialed David's number.

A moment later, the call connected, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Hey, isn't this Los Angeles's great hero? I saw the news this morning, and I was just going to ask you for an autograph, haha."
