At an intersection some distance away from Wall Street, the Chevrolet slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone, Luo An pressed the answer button.
"It's me, Roan."
Luo An raised his eyebrows when he heard the familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone.
It turned out to be Veranith.
"Good afternoon, sir."
Although he was a little confused about why Verenis changed her phone number, Luo An did not dwell on this point, but asked with a smile:
"Any new tasks?"
Veranith did not answer Roan's question, but asked:
"Where are you now?"
"Forehead"
Luo An blinked and did not hide his itinerary from Veranith, saying that he was on his way to Wall Street.
Knowing that Luo An had something to do on Wall Street, Veranis on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said softly:
"You go and do your own business first. When you're done, come to my place. I'll see you if I have anything to do."
"Okay, sir."
Although he was a little confused about what Verenis asked him to do at this time, Luo An still nodded and agreed.
"Bye."
Veranith on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Seeing this, Luo An started the Chevrolet again and headed to Wall Street.
Wall Street is located in the southern part of Manhattan, New York, stretching from Broadway to the East River.
The streets here were too narrow, so Luo An parked his Chevrolet on the outside and slowly walked into the New York Stock Exchange.
Roan Greenwood has worked on Wall Street before and is familiar with opening accounts, buying stocks, buying and selling, etc.
What surprised Luo An was that at this point in time, Apple's stock price had not risen to US$50, but to US$47.
At that moment, Luo An did not hesitate and immediately exchanged the US$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 grew stronger:
"The next step is to wait for Steve Jobs to release new products."
Thinking of the news about kidney transplantation and mobile phone replacement in later generations...
Buying stocks can actually be done on the computers of Investigation Team No. 5.
The main reason why Luo An insisted on coming to Wall Street was because he wanted to see the scenery of Wall Street.
For example, that big copper bull.
Watching the memory of the predecessor and seeing it with your own eyes are two different feelings after all.
But after entering Wall Street, apart from tourists, many other people gave Luo An a very uncomfortable feeling.
The late sociologist and playwright Philip Slater coined the term "money addiction" in his 1980 book, and stated in that book that 80% of people working on Wall Street have this addiction. symptoms.
They are energetic, competitive, greedy, ambitious, possess wealth, and can see funds flowing in their hands every day.
But at the same time, they are also under great pressure and abuse drugs and alcohol. Women are an indispensable tool for them to vent their pressure.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" performed by the man playing with the water gun, the scene where everyone eats flour openly in the office lobby after making money, takes off their pants and has sex, is actually all based on real life
——
Hospital.
Luo An, holding fruits and flowers in his arms, gently knocked on the door of Veranith's ward.
"Enter."
Entering the ward, Luo An immediately saw Veranith lying on the hospital bed, bored and watching TV news.
Due to her injuries and lying on the hospital bed, Veranith's face was pale at this time, and she looked much thinner than before.
Not only that, the biggest difference from the past is actually Veranith's temperament.
Veranith usually wears cool makeup and has a fierce temperament. At first glance, she gives the impression that she is a strong woman who is not easy to mess with.
At this time, Veranith was completely buried in the quilt, with a few small hairs stuck to her forehead, plus her pale face, and her brows slightly frowning due to the pain of the wound, which instantly brought Luo An's attention. There is a strange sense of broken beauty.
Shaking his head and putting away the messy thoughts in his mind, Luo An walked to the hospital bed with a smile on his face and said:
"Good evening, sir."
"sit."
Seeing the fruits and flowers brought by Luo An, Veranis felt a little happy and helpless at the same time.
Her biggest wound is on her abdomen. She cannot eat food in the near future and can only drink a little water at most.
Putting the flowers into the vase nearby, Luo An first helped Veranith fill up the water glass, then tilted his head and started chatting with her.
The two of them didn't talk much, most of them were related to the case.
There was no way, Luo An only knew that Veranith was alone, without a boyfriend, and her daily life consisted of running between her house and her work. She didn't know if she had any relatives or friends, nor had she ever met them.
Apart from the case, Luo An really didn't know what to talk about with Veranith.
But Veranith is very happy about this. She prefers cases and work to the trivial gossip of life.
When chatting, Roan was narrating most of the time, Veranith was listening, and then occasionally asked one or two short questions.
After hearing some exciting things in the case, a smile slowly appeared on Veranith's slightly pale face, and her eyes towards Luo An also had some inexplicable meaning.
After a while, Luo An saw that Veranith's energy was a little lower than when he first arrived, so he immediately changed the topic and asked with a smile:
"Sir, you said before that you wanted to see me for something, but what was it?"
Veranis smiled for a moment, then turned her gaze to the cabinet aside and said softly:
"There's a business card there, given to you by a chief from Washington.
Put it away. If you encounter an unsolvable problem in the future, make this call and the other party may provide you with some help. "
Seeing the phone number on the business card and the separate surname 'Clement', Luo An suddenly raised his eyebrows.
He remembered Verenice's last name, which seemed to be Clement.
After the explosion, Mr. Clement in Washington received the news immediately.
After learning that Veranith's life was not in danger, Clement breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked his secretary to bring the details of the case to his desk.
But before Clement could check, the president in the White House called him over because of something.
In desperation, Clement had to put this aside in advance and go to meet the president.
The president's affairs involved multiple departments, with complicated divisions of interests and troublesome details. By the time Mr. Clement finally returned to his office, the case was over.
Seeing the investigation process of the case written in the report sent by the secretary, as well as the name of Roan Greenwood, Clement, who was sitting in the chair, was shocked and had an extremely complicated expression.
He opened his mouth several times without knowing what to say, and finally only uttered one word:
"Fu-k!"
After a long silence, Clement motioned to his secretary to go to Veranith's ward. While visiting Veranith, he also handed his business card to Luo An.
The unfamiliar phone number just now was the call Veranith made using her secretary's cell phone.
After putting away the business card and continuing to chat with Veranith for a while, Luo An took the initiative to leave the ward.
The next day, after Luo An talked with Augustus, he did not go directly to work, but went to the banks that had been robbed.
