The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 41: Hatred is as deep as the sea
Los Angeles Cemetery, near the University of California.

Hawke, wearing makeup, stood by the guardrail, looking at the eerie tombstone. If he had jumped off a building in Provo, he might not even have a tombstone.

There is a high probability that the kidneys will have their hearts and lungs removed and turned into a piece of rotten meat.

A chubby figure appeared.

Hawke waved over there.

Cole was helpless and could only walk over and said, "I've done everything you asked me to do. Give me back my things."

Hawke reminded him, "We agreed on ten days, and it's not even halfway through."

Cole said in a heavy tone, "Deborah wants to divorce Donny. Did you cause this?"

“It wasn’t me.” Hawke looked out at the University of California. “We did it together.”

Cole was about to cry when he thought about the information about Deborah's whereabouts that he provided. "You said you would only shoot news..."

Hawke said, "How can I shoot without news? Don't I want to create some news?"

He patted Cole's thick shoulders and said, "Don't worry, this little bit of news is nothing. There will be more exciting news later."

Cole was really about to cry: "That's not what you said, I quit, I want to quit."

"Are you sure?" Hawke was worried that this guy didn't understand the situation, so he said directly, "What will happen if Donnie finds out about what you did? Donnie might fire you out of consideration for your friendship, but what about Deborah? Does she like you? Will she call the police and send you to jail? As far as I know, with your financial situation, you won't even be able to afford a lawyer if you lose Donnie's support."

Most of these playmates rely on celebrities for survival and have no ability to make money.

Kerr was also worried: "If you go too far, I won't be able to live well either."

"You can live well if you have money." Hawke used other people's things to tempt Cole: "What if you get a lot of money at once? How much money does Donny usually give you? If you sell something every once in a while like you do, can you make a fortune? That's all Donny's collection is?"

Cole, the gambler, fell silent instantly.

Hawke was in no hurry to speak, letting the guy think about it himself.

After a long while, Cole said, "If you take too much, you will be discovered."

The discovery is not the key, the key is that he has this idea. Hawke said softly: "Deborah has moved out of Brentwood now. If Donnie can't take care of these, who is most familiar with the layout of his home."

"Me!" Cole replied directly.

Hawke said, "Think about it, is there any better opportunity to make a fortune than this? Who will find you when you leave Los Angeles? Go south from here, and you can reach Tijuana in three hours at most. There is no inspection at the exit."

Cole's hands began to shake.

Human hearts are the most unpredictable, especially when they are involved in gambling and drugs. The bottom line is almost nonexistent, and if pushed further, rationality becomes nothing.

The two talked for a long time.

Hawke taught it over and over again.

The sky gradually darkened.

Cole left first, and Hawke drove the Chevrolet to Santa Monica.

Changing back into his original attire, he returned to the West Coast studio.

Edward returned with dinner.

The two talked while eating.

Edward ate some barbecue and said, "Jacqueline took the money and won't say anything."

He pointed to the pile of maternity gear and said, "What should we do with these?"

Hawke said, "Take it. You may need it later."

Edward shook his head. "How can I use them? They are for women! Boss, you won't let me pretend to be a woman, will you? Look at me, I have a dark head, dark face and dark skin. I don't look like a woman at all."

Hawke ignored the nonsense and said, "Drink less tonight and go to bed early. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be big news tomorrow."

Edward was confused and didn't understand, so he asked tentatively, "Boss, what kind of big news is it?"

Hawke said something like, "Maybe they'll go to jail for a few years."

Edward perked up: "Prison is good. If someone like Donny stayed in the ordinary prison area, he would wake up well-fed and well-drinked every day."

Hawke remembered the channel of a cellmate in his previous life. As long as people were sent to prison, he would find a way to cook a dish: black cannon squid!

Although he wanted Donnie to jump off a building and become a live squid, Hawke was not rigid and could cook one ingredient in many ways.

After dinner, Hawke thought for a long time. No matter how well planned something is, accidents may happen, and sometimes one needs to improvise.

Edward asked, "Boss, what shall I do tomorrow?"

Hawke said, "Find a pay phone away from surveillance and wait for my notification."

…………Brentwood, Downey’s mansion.

Robert Downey Jr. didn't need anyone to persuade him. He drank one drink after another during dinner and soon got himself drunk.

Deborah had moved out, and there were only two people left in the house.

Cole supported Donnie and threw him on the bed. He waited until he fell asleep, closed the bedroom door, completely turned off the house security system, and then went into other rooms to search.

As one of the two closest playmates, he knew Donny much better than Deborah did.

Cole dug out Donnie's stock and dumped it down the toilet, flushing it all down the drain except for a small packet.

After doing this, he came to Donnie's collection room.

There is a British Academy Award trophy here, as well as trophies for some other smaller awards.

But Cole wasn't interested, his eyes fell on a few glass cabinets.

Robert Downey Jr. likes to collect famous watches, and these glass cabinets are filled with valuable Swiss watches.

Cole's eyes turned red. It was worth hundreds of thousands.

He walked over and stood in front of the glass cabinet. His shaky bottom line, which had been harmed by others, collapsed completely.

"Mine! All mine!" Cole's greed prompted him to make a decision. He went to another room, opened the gun cabinet, took out Donny's guns, and chose a lightweight Glock 26.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to do it himself.

Cole sat in the chair, his not-so-bright mind wandering to the idea that adding a pistol might be more beneficial to him.

The next morning, Robert Downey Jr., just woke up from a hangover, and received a notice from his lawyer.

Deborah's lawyer officially sent a letter to divorce Donny and made some crazy property division requests.

"This bitch is crazy!" Donnie threw his phone directly at the TV screen, making a loud noise: "She wants to take everything from me!"

When husband and wife turn against each other, their hatred is as deep as the sea.

Donny started smashing things around. If it weren't for the alcohol that made him weak, the living room would have turned into a garbage dump.

At the same time, Cole in the courtyard made a phone call: "Deborah's lawyer sent a letter. He is going crazy."

"Start." The other side asked, "Remember what I said yesterday?"

With money hanging in the balance, Cole's memory was much better than usual: "I remember."

Take enough property and then run to Mexico. He had been there and remembered the way.

Donnie's voice came over: "Cole! Cole! Where's my cargo? Where's my cargo!"

Cole put away his phone, ran over, and asked, "No more?"

Tang Ni was anxious and overwhelmed, looking around everywhere: "It's gone, all gone, who did it!"

Cole said, "Deborah, it must be Deborah..."

"This bitch!" Donnie felt even more upset: "I'm going to kill her, kill her!"

Cole ran out, dug out a plastic bag from his bag, and handed it to Donnie: "This is mine, I'll give it to you first."

Donnie got busy.

Cole waited quietly.

After a long time, Donnie calmed down and laughed. He put his arm around Cole's shoulders and said, "My wife is nothing. I still have to rely on my brothers at critical moments. You are my support."

Cole's mind changed: Brothers? Dependence? Why can you make so much money, but not willing to share more with us? The little salary everyone gives, is it alms to beggars?

When a person thinks another person is bad, he only sees his shortcomings.

Donnie smiled and said, "Go get me some goods."

Cole's mind flashed back to the words spoken by the people he had met at the cemetery, and he suggested, "It's better to prepare more. Deborah wants to divorce you and seize your property. She will definitely use this as an opportunity to attack you. Let's save more before she reacts to avoid being caught in a weak spot."

In this situation, Robert Downey Jr.'s head is not far from being full of shit.

He chuckled: "Now you are the only one with me, go and contact them."

Cole went out to make a phone call and quickly got through to someone: "I need a lot of goods. Don't be too quick to doubt or reject me. To prove my sincerity, Donnie will personally go over to trade with you."

After the other side agreed, he returned to the room and said to Donnie, "The quantity required this time is too large. The LAPD has been fishing for a while. They require you to go there in person."

Tang Ni was floating in the sky, his head not turning at all: "Let's go together."

When Cole went to drive and choose a car, he remembered what the man had told him and specifically chose the Cadillac registered under Downey's name. Before leaving, he took the pistol with him.
