Chapter 748 Harvest
“Good morning, Roan.”
—
At 10:30 in the morning, on the second floor of the villa, Luo An, who was brushing his teeth, spat out his saliva and replied casually:
“Good morning, Mr. Morgan.”
The person who called Luo An was the old man Morgan who he had met before in the club and wore brown glasses at night.
While washing his face, Luo An asked:
“I’m calling so early, what’s wrong with Mr. Morgan?”
“You are indeed a young man, it’s almost noon and it’s still early.”
Morgan on the other end of the phone laughed heartily and said directly:
“I happen to be in Washington, D.C. these days, let’s go out for a meal together in the evening.”
"no problem."
Luo An wiped his face and agreed. After a few brief greetings, Morgan hung up the phone on his own initiative.
Luo An nodded, and seeing Mona's worried expression that was hesitant to speak, he walked back with a smile, gently pinched Mona's pretty face, and said:
“Don’t worry, I already have a plan.”
Morgan sent a text message at this time, which contained the address to meet and have dinner. Roan simply changed into a casual suit and drove there, while Mona went shopping with Lacey and Chenelle.
Mona: “…”
“I remember you said before that someone in that club also knew your father?”
“Don’t get me wrong, both copies are mine.”
At this time, Luo An was located in the south of Washington, D.C. What appeared in front of him was an ordinary commercial building. The tall building was surrounded by various shops, including jewelry, luxury goods, banks, etc., but there was no trace of a hotel or restaurant.
“I just woke up and I don’t want to eat steak.”
Driving his mediocre Porsche to the address sent in the text message, Luo An frowned slightly, a little suspicious that he had come to the wrong place.
“I’m going to make it today. How about fried eggs and bacon?”
“Who?”
Luo An didn't say what the specific plan was at this time. Mona saw that he looked calm and confident, and nodded based on her trust in him in the past and stopped asking.
After washing up, Luo An walked out of the room and was about to change clothes. Mona, who had just woken up and turned on her phone, was a little slow to react. She thought for a few seconds before reacting.
Mona turned to wash up and said:
Her face suddenly changed slightly, she hurriedly walked out of the room and looked at Luo An and asked:
At this moment, Mona rubbed her eyes, pushed the door open, walked into the room, yawned widely, and asked casually:
“People in the club.”
Luo An smiled, continued to look for clothes, and asked at the same time:
“Very good, two more steaks.”
After breakfast and lunch, Luo An and Mona went to the gym to box and exercise, and then rested for a while. It was past six o'clock in the afternoon.
“What are you going to eat later?”
“That’s right.”
"Hello."
Just when Luo An was about to call to inquire, someone suddenly knocked on the car window a few times. The car window was slowly lowered, and a white man who looked to be in his forties and wearing a high-end suit smiled and asked:
“Is this Mr Greenwood?”
“I am, who are you?”
Getting the answer in the affirmative, the white man smiled more gently and explained:
“I came here specially to greet you.”
“OK.”
With the "emotional perception" in his mind, Luo An made sure that the other party was not telling lies and that he had no ill intentions toward him. He parked the car according to the other party's instructions, and then followed the other party into a high-end men's luxury store.
“Come in, Mr. Greenwood.”
Luo An walked into the elevator and found that there was no floor button inside. His eyes moved slightly and he asked with a smile:
“You won’t come in?”
“I’m not high enough and I’m not invited.”
The white man smiled, pressed the button to close the elevator door, and finally said:
“Have a good time tonight, Mr. Greenwood. Goodbye.”
The elevator door closed and began to rise slowly. Luo An closed his eyes and remained motionless, silently feeling the operation of the elevator. After more than ten seconds, the elevator slowly stopped running. Luo An judged that this should be the 21st or 22nd floor. building.
Ding-
With a soft sound, the elevator door slowly opened. Luo An opened his eyes. A magnificent hall with bright but not dazzling lights and a classical European style appeared in front of Luo An.
Stepping out of the elevator, melodious classical piano music slowly reached Luo An's ears. On the left side of the hall, some men and women in suits and dresses gathered together in twos and twos to chat with wine glasses.
On the right side of the hall is a bar. Several masked bartenders are mixing drinks in a fancy way, inviting the men and women chatting at the bar to taste their craftsmanship.
“Hello, Mr. Greenwood.”
Luo An had not walked a few steps when a female waiter with a very good figure, wearing a women's suit and a mask on her face, came over and stretched out her hand to guide Luo An:
“Someone is waiting for you, please come with me.”
Luo An nodded and said nothing. While observing the surroundings, he followed the other person deeper into the hall.
After turning several corridors, private private rooms appeared in front of Luo An. The waitress walked to private room No. 13 and knocked lightly a few times, then opened the door to make way for Luo An to enter.
There were two familiar old white men in the private room. They were the gray-haired Edward whom they had met before, and Morgan, who was not wearing brown glasses today.
“The time is neither too early nor too late, just right.”
Seeing Luo An enter the private room, Edward raised his eyebrows at Morgan and laughed:
“I won this time!”
Luo An sat down on the sofa opposite the two elderly white men, got himself a glass of red wine very familiarly, and asked with a smile:
“You used the time I spent here to make a bet?”
“It’s just a little game.”
Morgan shook his head helplessly, glanced at his smiling friend beside him, and said:
“As I get older, I only have so much interest left.”
“Well done, Roan.”
Edward picked up his wine glass and reached out to touch Luo An, raised his eyebrows at him, and said with a smile:
“The bet we just made was five gold coins. I’ll give you one later.”
"Thanks."
Roan and Edward clinked their glasses, then smiled at Morgan:
“Mr. Morgan, if you have this kind of gambling in the future, you can contact me in advance. I can easily discuss the prize after winning.”
“Greedy little fox.”
Morgan smiled and pointed at him, shook his head, and the three of them clinked their glasses together and took a sip of red wine. Morgan said:
“Luo An, you have done a great job on this case. The Morgan family has paid the thank you money they promised before into the account of your special investigation team.
As for the fifteen gold coins, I have also transferred them to the account under your name in the club. "
A sunny smile suddenly appeared on Luo An's face. Edward on the side took out a box of cigars, handed one to Luo An, and asked very curiously:
“You solved this case in less than two weeks, Luo An, how on earth did you do that?”
According to the bet previously agreed between the two, if Luo An solves the case within fifteen days, Edward will pay half of the $10 million promised by Morgan.
Edward, who is quite old, has lost much interest in women, and there are many delicacies that he cannot eat for the sake of his health. Now he doesn't care about the money at all, he just wants to satisfy his curiosity.
Taking the cigar, facing the curious eyes of the two old men, Luo An chuckled:
"secret."
