Chapter 145: The Man Who Played with Water Guns

At a junction some distance from Wall Street, Chevrolet slowly pulled to the side of the road.

Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone, Luo An pressed the answer button.

"It's me, Roan."

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Luo An suddenly raised his eyebrows.

It turned out to be Vereneth.

"Good afternoon, sir."

Although there were some doubts about how Verenes changed her phone number, Luo An didn't dwell on this, but asked with a smile:

"Any new tasks?"

Instead of answering Roan's question, Vereneth asked:

"Where are you now?"

"Amount"

Luo Ann blinked, not hiding his itinerary from Vereneth, indicating that he was on his way to Wall Street.

Knowing that Roan had something to do on Wall Street, Verenis on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said softly:

"You go and take care of your own business first, and when the things are done, come to me again, I have something to find you."

"Yes, sir."

Although he was a little puzzled about what Vereneth was telling him to do at this time, Luo An nodded and agreed.

“Bye。”

Vereneth on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense, and hung up the phone directly after speaking.

Seeing this, Roan started Chevrolet again and headed for Wall Street.

Wall Street is in the southern part of Manhattan, New York, stretching from Broadway to the East River.

The streets were so narrow that Roan parked the Chevrolet on the periphery and walked slowly into the New York Stock Exchange.

Roan Greenwood has previously worked on Wall Street and is familiar with jobs such as opening accounts, buying stocks, buying and selling, etc.

To Roan's surprise, Apple's stock price at this point in time has not risen to $50, but $47.

At that moment, Luo An did not hesitate, and immediately exchanged the $1.2 million in his hand for Apple shares.

After the transaction was completed, Luo An looked at the information on the computer, and the smile on his face gradually became richer:

"Next, it's time to wait for Jobs to release a new product."

Thinking of the news of cutting kidneys for mobile phones in later generations......

In fact, the purchase of stocks can be done on the computer of Investigation Team No. 5.

The reason why Luo Ann has to come to Wall Street is more because he wants to see the scenery of Wall Street.

For example, the big bronze bull.

Looking at the memories of the predecessor and looking at it with your own eyes are two different feelings after all.

But after entering Wall Street, in addition to tourists, many of the rest brought Luo An a very uncomfortable feeling.

In his 1980 book, the late sociologist and playwright Philip Slater coined the term "money addiction" and stated that 80 percent of people who worked on Wall Street had this symptom.

They are energetic, competitive, greedy, ambitious, wealthy, and can see a fortune flowing through their hands every day.

But at the same time, they are also under great pressure, abusing drugs and alcohol, and women are their indispensable tools to vent their stress.

The "Wolf of Wall Street" performed by the man playing with the water gun, the scene where everyone eats flour in the office hall after making money, takes off their pants and lies down is actually based on real life

——

Hospital.

With fruit and flowers in her arms, Roan gently knocked on the door of Vereneth's hospital room.

"Enter."

Entering the ward, Luo An saw Verenis lying on the hospital bed at a glance, bored watching TV news.

Because of the injury and lying on the hospital bed, Vereneth's face was pale at this time, and the whole person looked much thinner than before.

Not only that, but the biggest gap from the past is actually Verenis's temperament.

On weekdays, Verenis has a cold makeup and a sharp temperament, and at a glance, it gives people the feeling that this is a strong woman who is not easy to mess with.

At this time, Vereneth's whole body was buried in the quilt, a few thin hairs stuck to her forehead, coupled with her pale face, and a slightly frown due to the pain of the wound, instantly brought Luo An a strange broken beauty.

Shaking his head and putting away the messy thoughts in his heart, Luo An walked to the bedside with a smile on his face and said:

"Good evening, sir."

"Sit."

Seeing the fruits and flowers brought by Juan, Verenes felt a little happy in her heart, but also a little helpless.

Her biggest wound was in her abdomen, and she had not been able to eat food recently, and could only drink a little water at most.

Inserting the flowers into the vase beside her, Ann helped Verenes fill the water glass, then tilted his head to talk to her.

The two didn't talk much, most of them were related to the case.

No way, Luo An only knows that Verenis is alone, has no boyfriend, and her daily life is a line between the house and the unit, and she doesn't know what relatives and friends she has, let alone seen them.

Aside from the case, Roan really didn't know what to talk to about with Vereneth.

However, Verenis is happy about this, and she prefers cases and work to the trivial gossip of life.

Most of the time the conversation was narrated by Roan, with Vereneth listening, and then occasionally asking a brief question or two.

Hearing some of the highlights of the case, a smile slowly appeared on Verenia's slightly pale face, and her gaze at Luo An was a little more inexplicable.

After a while, Luo An saw that Verenis's spirit had become a little sluggish compared to when he first arrived, so he immediately changed the topic and asked with a smile:

"Sir, you said you had something to look for me, I don't know what it is?"

Vereneth smiled for a moment, then looked at the cabinet beside her, and said softly:

"There's a business card there, which was given to you by a senior from Washington.

Put it away, and if you have a problem that you can't solve in the future, call this number and the other person may be able to provide you with some help. ”

Seeing the phone number on the business card, as well as the surname 'Clement' alone, Luo An's eyebrows furrowed.

He remembered Vereneth's last name, which seemed to be Clement.

Mr. Clement in Washington was the first to receive the news after the bombing.

Relieved to learn that Vereneth's life was not in danger, Clement immediately asked his secretary to bring the details of the case to his desk.

But before Clement could check it, the president in the White House called him over for something.

In desperation, Clement had no choice but to put this aside in advance and then go to meet the president.

The president's side involved multiple departments, the division of interests was complicated, and the specifics were troublesome, and by the time Mr. Clement finally returned to his office, the case was closed.

Seeing the process of solving the case written in the report sent by the secretary, as well as the name of Roan Greenwood, Clement sitting in the chair was full of shock and his expression was extremely complicated.

He opened his mouth several times and didn't know what to say, and finally only spit out one word:

“Fu-k!”

After a long silence, Clement motioned for the secretary to visit Vereneth's hospital room, and while visiting Vereneth, he also gave Roan his business card.

The unfamiliar phone number just now was the one Vereneth made from her secretary's mobile phone.

Putting away the business card and continuing to chat with Verenis for a while, Luo An took the initiative to leave the ward.

The next day, after talking to Augustus, Roan did not go directly to work, but went to the robbed banks first.

The security adviser's money was not taken for nothing.
