Chapter 157 The Missing Crawford Couple

"It's true that there's still a convenient plane."

The plane landed at London Airport. Looking at the moon in the sky, Locke sighed a little.

"You can buy your own plane now, which is not difficult for you." Deborah Yuying said: "Don't be like a Grandet, you still have to enjoy it."

"I have ordered three aircraft, two of which are ready to be used for my subordinates' office, and one of my own. The designer is drawing design drawings according to my requirements, but I just have to wait for two years if I want to get it."

Lock shrugged and said, "I will be very busy in London next time. If you want to have fun, you probably have to find another companion."

"Don't worry about me," said Deborah Yuying. "I have an aunt in London, but I want to see the house you are in London first."

"If you like, you can stay as long as you want." Locke raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to visit it now?"

"I think my aunt doesn't mind visiting her tomorrow morning." Deborah smiled and hugged Locke's arm.

That night, a cowgirl from Texas wanted to tame the dragon, but the power of the dragon was beyond the other party's imagination. In the end, she exhausted her energy and was conquered by the dragon. She had to put down her figure and begged the other party to let him go.

The next day, Locke made a breakfast for Deborah Yuying. When he left the manor, he took out the anti-eavesdropping device and frequency modulation device he assembled from the storage space.

I checked these devices inside and out, and found six eavesdropping machines directly. Then I was playing music at home, wearing headphones and checking them with FM devices, and then I felt relieved.

Locke was not surprised to find eavesdropping devices in his residence, especially his Sky Fund, who just made a big profit in the pound crisis.

Although Locke is hidden behind Soros and is not as conspicuous as him, Sky Fund alone has a net income of US$756 million, which is enough for many people to target him.

In fact, since October, many wealthy people have expressed their willingness to hand over the money to themselves, and it is a project under Locke himself.

Once such a requirement is available, Locke usually comes with some conditions, such as helping to acquire shares in some companies and buy some industries, but few of them reach cooperation.

Beyond the second best, many wealthy people have invested their spare money in projects with fixed income guaranteed capital, and the funds managed by Sky Fund Company have become increasingly large.

In the afternoon, members of Locke's asset management office in Europe came to the estate and explained to Locke's investment in Europe in recent months.

Locke's asset management office in Europe and his independence in the United States are fundamentally hidden assets. Most of Locke's financial returns in the sea are placed here this time.

As early as last year, the Asset Management Office had already listed a list of hundreds of investment targets.

Taking advantage of this economic crisis that affected the entire Europe, Locke completed fifty-seven of the acquisitions or investment goals in more than two months.

It mainly includes wineries, ranches, castles, resort hotels, luxury goods companies, ports, and shares of British electricity and water supply companies in all parts of Europe.

The big acquisition cost a total of US$1.647 billion, and most of them were bought at a fractured price. It can be said that it was a big deal to buy it at the bottom.

This time, Locke came to the UK mainly to make some arrangements for these industries. He would probably take them in London for more than a month, and then he would have to take a walk around Europe. He would have no time to go back to the United States on Christmas.

Since coming to London, Locke has received many invitations to banquets. In the first month, because there are too many things to deal with, Locke only occasionally participates in more important banquets.

Until a month later, when Locke was looking through the thick invitation letter, he found one of the invitations from Laura Crawford and invited him to participate in a noble hunting.

At eight o'clock that morning, the car arrived at Crawford Manor. In less than ten minutes, he saw an English thoroughbred horse rushing over from a distance.

Laura, dressed in a lady's knight suit, rushed over on her horse and until ten meters away, she started pulling the reins and stopped two or three meters in front of Locke.

"Long time no see, Mr. Rock." Thirteen-year-old Laura dropped out of the horse and greeted Rock.

Laura, who began to transform from a loli to a girl, could already see her future appearance, and seemed closer to the game version, and was different from the two generations of actors in the movie version.

"Good morning, Laura." Locke nodded and showed a serious look: "I have heard of the Countess Crawford, and I deeply regret it."

"I believe they are just missing and must be waiting for rescue at some point." Laura's eyes flashed with sadness, and then said, "I invite you this time, because there are some things I want to ask you."

"You have agreed that the Countess Crawford and his wife are all my friends. I am willing to help you with whatever you can," Locke said with a smile.

"Before my parents disappeared, they said they were going to take an expedition. I also knew they called you to discuss many issues. I want to ask you if you know where they were missing?"

"Earl Crawford did ask me a lot of historical records about Asia, especially a queen in Japan."

Locke frowned and said, "But unfortunately, I just know where they are going to explore, but I can't guess where they are."

"Is that true?" Laura showed a look of disappointment, but then asked, "Which Japanese queen is that?"

"It is the most famous Queen Himekhu in ancient Japan." Locke said this and suddenly received a prompt. He glanced at it and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Laura couldn't help asking when she saw Locke stunned for a moment.

"There are many legends about her, the most amazing thing is that she can control the storm and also has the magic that is immortal." Locke said:

"And so far, archaeologists have not found the burial place of Hamihu. Most of the time your parents have discovered any clues about Hamihu's tomb."

"Really? In other words, can I find my parents by finding clues related to Himehu?" Laura asked with joy, pulling Locke's hand.

"It's very difficult." Locke said in a deep voice: "After so many years, no one has found any clues. It's not easy to find them in a short time, unless you can find something from your parents' research."

"But I've searched through what my parents left behind during this period and found nothing." Laura said anxiously: "Have they said anything when they were talking to you?"

"They just asked about some history and legends about Himehu, and I don't know anything else." Locke shook his head: "I can check it for you, but I can't be sure when I can find enough clues."

"Really?" Laura showed a surprise expression: "Thank you for your help. After my parents disappeared, because I was not yet an adult, I had no way to call my family's money to search, and I could only guarantee my daily expenses.

But if I find my parents, I will definitely compensate you twice. In addition, I will check what my parents left behind to see what new discoveries will be."

"Money is just a small matter, and Earl Crawford is also my friend. I would be happy if I can help." Locke said with a smile.
