In the study, Veranith hung up the big-ass phone and put it under the desk again. After a moment of silence, she asked Roan to bring Lydia into the study.
Luan and Lydia sat down, Veranith leaned back, crossed her legs, and said to Lydia expressionlessly:
"Ms. Lydia, I have contacted my superior. He will contact the higher-ups of the Marshals Service to add you to the list of people in the witness protection program to protect your future safety."
Hearing this, Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, but Verenis then said:
"Within the next 48 hours, you must sell the Fire Queen. Except for the Fire Queen bar, all your other real estate will be frozen and confiscated by the FBI.
After the testimony is completed in court, for the sake of your life safety, you must follow the officers of the Marshals Service and leave New York completely. You will not be able to come back again in this life. "
"What did you say?"
Lydia was mentally prepared for leaving New York, but when she heard that the FBI was about to confiscate her building, she became furious and shouted at Veranith:
"You FBI are also eyeing my money?"
"Ms. Lydia, please watch your words."
Facing Lydia with flashes of anger in her eyes, Veranith's expression remained unchanged, she glanced at Luo An who was wandering around, stared into Lydia's eyes and said coldly:
“First, you tried to murder one of my federal agents, and assaulting a federal agent is a felony!
If you had not chosen to report the case and join the witness protection program, I would have sent you directly to a federal felon prison, where you would spend the rest of your life with those female lunatics and female murderers!
Second, you only confessed this case after being interrogated by Detective Luo An, so your behavior is not surrendering!
Third, all the money you used to buy the property was illegally obtained. Freezing them is a legal act under federal law. Not only will your money be frozen, but the funds of everyone involved in the case will also be frozen later! "
"Shit!"
Lydia's beautiful face turned the color of pig's liver, and she roared at Verenis:
"Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. You FBI and NSA people just want to steal money from me! Damn it, I shouldn't have told this!"
"If you don't tell me about it,"
Veranis opened the email on her computer, put out the photo of the corpse, and showed it to Lydia:
"Then the tragedy of Ms. Bettina should happen to you soon. By the way, this Bettina is the Daisy you call her."
Seeing the picture of a familiar old woman sitting in a car with a bullet hole in her forehead and her eyes wide open, Lydia's face turned pale, her legs became weak and she sat back on the chair.
She was just guessing at first, but now the photo tells her that you are right, the NSA senior officials have begun to send people to kill people and silence them.
Seeing the horrified expression on Lydia's face, Veranis clicked the mouse to put away the photo, and asked calmly:
"You should thank us, Ms. Lydia. I think you should be able to tell which is more important, money or life."
"..."
A few minutes later, the pale Lydia was taken to another bedroom in the apartment by Lacey.
From tonight until tomorrow when people from the Marshal's Office arrive, Lacey will follow Lydia closely to protect her safety.
If nothing unexpected happens, after Lydia testifies in court, she will be arranged to a remote small city in the Federation, where she will spend the rest of her life with a new identity, without being in the limelight or publicity.
For Lydia, who likes to enjoy herself and is used to showing off every day, this is even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Seeing Lacey leading Lydia into the bedroom, Verenis tilted her head and glanced at Luo An, who had been silent, her eyes moved slightly, and she asked calmly:
"Are you pitying Lydia?"
"Pity? NO!"
Hearing this, Luo An shook his head repeatedly.
He and Lidya just had a simple relationship in bed, and there was no emotional entanglement.
Moreover, Lydia had drugged him before in order to control his behavior. If she hadn't confessed this big case in the end, Luo An had actually made plans to make Lydia regret coming into this world.
The scenery at the bottom of the Hudson River should be nice.
At the same time, in this large-scale fairy jump case, the top brass of the NSA are not good people. Those political prisoners who preyed on the people of their own country, used power for personal gain, and finally went to the federal government to enjoy life are not good people. Women like Lydia who implemented the fairy jump plan are also not good people. Not a good person,
The relationship between them is purely dog bite dog, nothing more.
Sympathy for Lydia?
Luo An is no saint.
Turning his head to look at Verenice, who looked very cold due to her makeup, Luo An grinned and said:
"I was just thinking about what reward the commander would give me if I cracked this big case."
She took Luo An back to the study, and the two sat down. Veranith crossed her legs:
"You know, Luo An, the circumstances of this case are special, so the FBI New York Branch will not admit the existence of this case, nor will it provide you with any reward."
Luo An nodded, he had already guessed this would happen.
The case involves high-level officials of the NSA intelligence department, so it is normal not to talk about it outside. If the FBI New York branch really announced with great fanfare that Luo An had cracked this case, then he would have to hurry up and run away.
So the reward Luo An wants refers to the person behind Veranith.
He wants to get his share.
"Before you came to my place tonight, I received an email from the Columbus Foundation."
Seeing Luo An staring at her, Veranis was silent for a moment, but still did not choose to hide the foundation's affairs.
After briefly introducing what happened, Veranith said that Luo An had not only successfully joined the foundation, but also obtained the fund disbursement level of a senior agent as an ordinary official agent.
"Of course, you deserve it, it's not a reward."
Hearing this, Luo An raised his eyebrows, and he knew that there must be more to the story.
Veranith opened a website and flipped through it, but couldn't find auction item No. 113. She frowned at first and then suddenly realized it, and then opened another website.
Turning the computer screen to Luo An, Verenis smiled lightly and said:
"Six months ago, our FBI successfully arrested a big liar who was committing fraud all over the world. This small apartment was one of his properties in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York.
The apartment is priced at 1.2 million to the outside world and 900,000 to the FBI internally. If you want it, 500,000, it's yours. "
Seeing the spacious, bright, warm and sunny apartment on the computer screen, Luo An showed a smile on his face:
"Thank you, sir. I will prepare the money tomorrow."
A Manhattan apartment that sold for $1.2 million in 2005 can be purchased by yourself for only $500,000.
If he let go, Luo An would regret it for the rest of his life.
Seeing the smile on Luo An's face, Verenis' expression remained unchanged but her mood was good. After hearing Luo An's words, she thought for a moment and said:
“After this case is handled, you will receive a considerable bonus.
In addition, for this apartment, you can apply for a loan within the Columbus Foundation. The interest rate is about 1%-3% lower than the interest rates of banks outside. You can repay it slowly in the future. "
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I want to buy this apartment directly and in full."
After hearing Luanda's words, Veranith's expression changed, she looked at him suspiciously, and asked:
"Can you come up with $500,000?"
"certainly."
Luo An nodded, looked up and saw the expression on Veranith's face, and understood that she might have misunderstood something, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"Don't get me wrong, sir, I didn't violate FBI regulations. I was able to take out $500,000 because I worked harder and received larger bonuses."
Veranith: "?"
