On the afternoon of July 9th, Mao Zedong time, Wei Ran and a group of people rushed to Kazan Airport in two armored civilian vehicles with great fanfare, and boarded a flight bound for Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, USA.
It seems that Weiyan is lucky. The headquarters of Cinderella's company is in Atlanta. Although Atlanta and Charleston, where the bell-ringer retired and lived in seclusion, are not in the same state, they are close to each other. The straight-line distance between them is
, and even less than 500 kilometers.
In the almost reserved first-class cabin, before the plane had finished climbing, Suisui was already discussing the itinerary after arriving in the United States with her little rich girl friend Kou Kou.
Even though this little thing was very clear-headed when she helped Weiran analyze this investigation, in fact, she was obviously more interested in going to the super large building in Ontario, Canada that Kouko inherited after the Weiran incident was over.
Let’s go and visit the farm.
"When we arrive in Atlanta, I will have full authority to sign an employment agreement with you on behalf of my employer, and then you can obtain the relevant details." Attorney Carlos, who was across the aisle from Weiyan, said in a slightly louder voice.
"In other words, I didn't know the true identity of Cinderella during the whole process, right?" Wei Ran asked unhurriedly.
"No, no, no, the identity of the employer is not a secret, but you probably don't have the chance to meet her." Attorney Carlos spread his hands here, "I hope this will not have any impact on your investigation."
"For the sake of the investigation cost of $2.88 million, there will be no impact."
Wei Ran responded with a smile.
"I have to admit, April is a genius at negotiation." Carlos shook his head and smiled bitterly. It was no easy task to turn the investigation cost of 800,000 US dollars into an exaggerated 2.88 million US dollars.
But all this happened after less than five minutes of phone communication between the mixed-race girl whose pseudonym was Aurora and her employer.
And this is what he has not been able to figure out in the past few days. He really can't guess what Suisui said to his employer on the phone.
Of course, if this old guy is willing to ask, Suisui will be extremely generous and tell him that she just said three sentences to the mysterious rich man's widow on the phone, "Just increase the price, the more you add.
The more, the less things we find.
When the commission was increased to two million, not only could we find nothing and get no commission, but we were also very happy to accept interviews from the media. I believe that this is a mutually beneficial cooperation for both of us. In the future, we will definitely
There will be more opportunities for cooperation.”
With just these three sentences, the Cinderella happily increased the commission from US$800,000 to an exaggerated US$2.88 million.
Of course, since lawyer Carlos upholds professional ethics, no matter whether it is Ququ or Weiran, Bairan will not take the initiative to mention whether this false sum will be stable or rising.
corresponding transaction.
However, although the investigation fee of US$2.88 million was fake, the Cinderella generously promised an additional US$50,000 in real money for "activity travel expenses."
Earning a commission of fifty thousand US dollars without doing anything not only stunned lawyer Carlos and legal advisor Horta, but also the three special players from the k series, Wei Ran and Katenka sisters, looked stunned.
.
As for the little rich woman Kou Kou who came with her to join in the fun and learn more, this little girl in her early twenties had already seen stars in her eyes and regarded the proud Suisui as her idol in life.
Not to mention the tiring journey all the way, when the plane finally landed at the Atlanta Airport, the Katenka sisters, who were also sitting in the first class cabin, immediately took the lead with Kou Kou, her legal advisor Ms. Horta and Suisui.
Wei Ran, under the leadership of Carlos' lawyer, slowly hid at the end of the queue of business class passengers.
The reason for doing this is of course for the safety of Suisui and Kou Kou, the new little rich woman. Secondly, it is of course so that the Katenka sisters do not have to appear in public. As the saying goes, doing things with money is just a show.
Do enough.
Although the $50,000 hard-earned money has not yet been received, when I deliberately changed into a formal sanitary attire, I
When lawyer Carlos, who had also changed into formal attire, walked out of the airport pick-up area, a group of reporters carrying cameras and microphones immediately rushed up to him.
"Is this Cinderella's arrangement?"
Wei Ran asked the astonished lawyer Carlos in German. Reporters would be interviewing him after they got off the plane. This was something they knew before setting off from Kazan. But even so, the slightly exaggerated battle in front of them was still a bit surprising.
Unexpected.
"Hmm...probably...probably..."
Lawyer Carlos' tone was full of uncertainty, and by the time he reacted, he was already surrounded by reporters who were obviously paid to do things.
However, perhaps because of Suisui's special reminder when communicating with the other party before departure, among the waiting reporters and photographers, more than half of them are Asians who can speak Chinese. Even the few remaining white people seem to be able to speak Chinese.
There were a few complete sentences or two in Mandarin or Cantonese that Wei Ran couldn't understand at all.
"Lawyer Carlos, I heard that you specially invited a well-known historian to help find key evidence for the Gravette family's inheritance lawsuit. Is that true?"
Before she finished speaking, the Asian female reporter put the microphone in her hand to lawyer Carlos' mouth.
"Indeed, such a thing does exist."
Lawyer Carlos pushed the microphone away slightly, cleared his throat, stopped and loudly introduced, "The young man next to me is Wei from China. Although he is young, he is a very well-known historian in the industry.
.
And I believe that regarding the Vietnam War, whether it is the way of fighting at that time or the study of that period of history, the Chinese who are more difficult and closer may be better at it than the Americans.
I even believe that the Gravette family is willing to spend a high salary of US$2.88 million to hire Mr. Wei to participate in the evidence investigation of this lawsuit, which is undoubtedly an affirmation and trust in his business ability."
Are you really not afraid of offending people on my behalf...
Wei Ran secretly twitched the corner of his mouth. Carlos's words really hurt the lungs of most Americans, and undoubtedly attracted a lot of hatred and attention to himself and Wei Ran.
It’s just————
There seemed to be very few native-born Americans among the reporters present. Compared with the illusory patriotism of the United States, they clearly tasted the fire-like words of lawyer Carlos that could make all media people tremble with excitement.
—Traffic password!
"Mr. Wei, are you confident that you can assist lawyer Carlos in investigating key evidence?"
The Asian female reporter who was the first to ask the question changed into Chinese and pointed the microphone at Wei Ran. "Also, regarding the war between the United States and Vietnam half a century ago, can you talk about it from your professional perspective?"
What’s your opinion?”
Immediately afterwards, before he could answer, the other reporters asked him and lawyer Carlos one question after another.
As for Wei Ran...
Despite the seriousness he was wearing, when faced with those questions that were asked in slightly off-key Chinese, this guy had a bad taste and deliberately used the dialect of his hometown in Cangzhou to answer extremely fast.
Questions that have been prepared for in advance.
His deliberately disruptive little move not only made the Chinese reporters of unknown generations scratch their heads, but also made Suisui, who came out early not far away and hid aside to secretly watch the excitement, almost burst into laughter.
After dealing with the reporters who were asking questions based on the lines written on the dollar bills, Wei Ran glanced at Suisui and others in the distance without leaving a trace, and then followed lawyer Carlos into the business car prepared in advance, and walked away in a hurry.
Leave the airport and go straight to their hotel.
"There are a lot of people following behind." In the carriage, lawyer Carlos reminded him with some gloating. "Let them follow."
Wei Ran said nonchalantly that on the way here, Suisui, the little mastermind behind the scenes, had already made it clear to him that the main purpose of his visit this time was to make a high-profile appearance. As for whether he could investigate anything, in fact, it was not at all
unimportant.
Because it is obvious that he, a historian, is actually just a fishing bait!
Of course, for Wei Ran, he himself
Speaking personally, these paparazzi sent by the rich Cinderella actually have another function that only he knows - to help him create an alibi!
With several small tailgates behind him, Wei Ran followed Carlos' lawyer and rushed to the hotel he had booked in advance, chatting and laughing, and signed an employment agreement worth 2.88 million US dollars, but which was destined to not take effect, almost as if it was a fool's errand.
I received an additional $50,000 in cash sent by Cinderella in advance.
"Here is some information about Cinderella's husband. I hope it will be helpful to your investigation."
In the conference room of the hotel, lawyer Carlos waited for Wei Ran to collect the check and cash sent by Cinderella, and then handed over an extra thick file bag, "Also, in about a week or two weeks, you
You also need to accept an interview, which is also arranged by the employer. The specific interview questions and interview time will be notified to you in advance. If you are willing to accept the interview at that time, there will be an additional commission."
"As for the interview, I will consider it carefully after I see the content of the interview."
Wei Ran responded with his usual perfunctory expression and then asked, "So I can move around freely during this period? I can't stay in Atlanta forever. I have to give that illegitimate child a chance."
"certainly!"
Lawyer Carlos immediately understood Wei Ranming's plan and explained straightforwardly, "Recently, my legal team is busy dealing with the two attorneys representing the illegitimate child, and by the way, we are also helping Cinderella's son clear his name.
The trouble of buying a murderer to kill. To put it simply, before we get results here, your investigation time is very abundant and very free."
"In that case, I won't disturb your work here." Wei Ran patted the file bag in his hand and said jokingly, "It's a rare trip to the United States. I may be in the surroundings these days.
Let’s take a tour of the city.”
"Do you need me to help you prepare a car?" Attorney Carlos asked kindly.
"Of course," Weiran said unceremoniously, "It's best to have two." "No problem."
Carlos nodded and watched Wei Ran leave the conference room with the cash, the employment agreement and the file bag containing the information, and returned to the suite on the top floor of the hotel.
Before he could close the door, Suisui, who had already moved in early, came over and asked, "Signed?"
"Of course I signed it"
Wei Ranhun casually threw the cash on the bed, handed the employment agreement to Suisui, and finally opened the dispensable file bag.
Contrary to his expectation, the only thing in the portfolio was a beautifully printed memoir.
On the cover of this memoir is a green-painted UH-1 helicopter. On the fuselage of the helicopter is also painted the shield armband of the 1st Cavalry Division with a horse head on a yellow background and a black border. Under the helicopter,
It is an endless green jungle and black smoke steaming in the distance.
"Lancers over the jungle?"
Suisui glanced at the name of the memoir, then pointed to a line of small characters under the title and said in Chinese, "The author of this book is called Fabian Gravitt, and the name Kamei found out before
It’s the same name.”
"Have you also investigated this book?" Wei Ran asked curiously. "No." Suisui took the memoir from Wei Ran and opened it and looked at it. "Look, there is no ISBN at all. It is probably privately printed.
of."
"Look at what's written here for me when you have time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Ran, who nominally cannot understand English, left this boring job of watching others write books and bragging to Suisui.
“What else could there be?”
Suisui said without interest, "You can tell from the title of that slut's book that he must be bragging about how brave and righteous he was back then. Aren't all Americans like this? Washing powder can be said to be a nuclear weapon. He has opened it
It’s a helicopter, but it’s Captain America driving a Transformers?”
"makes sense"
Wei Ran casually threw the memoir on the sofa, and while looking left and right in the room, he continued to ask in Chinese, "Where is the illegitimate child that Kamei found out?"
"Far away"
Suisui threw away the same overly simple employment agreement, picked up a wad of US dollars and patted it in her palm, "The last network address the illegitimate son's email address was logged into was in Mexico. I'm afraid that Cinderella's stupid son
It was also after finding this false signal that I tried to hire a Mexican to kill him, and then I was caught hiring a murderer to kill him."
"Compared to this, I think that the illegitimate child might very well send someone to contact me." Wei Ran said with a smile, "After all, it is difficult not to attract his attention with such a high-profile appearance."
"If he is really an illegitimate child, I'm afraid he will send some key evidence."
Suisui shook the cash in her hand and said along this line of thinking, "I have guessed a long time ago that Cinderella must have wanted to use you to build a nest for fishing when she generously sent the event funds."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. We are using people's money to eliminate disasters. What about you? What are your plans next?" Wei Ran asked, changing the subject.
"I'll follow you first to see the excitement."
Suisui threw aside the cash in her hand, "When you are done with your work here, I plan to take Sister Kou to Makar's farm first, and then go to the farm she inherited from Mr. Dominic.
Check out the big farm in Canada.”
After a pause, Suisui continued, "Sister Kou not only wants to be tied up with that random jewelry company you got with nothing, but she also wants to become a partner with me. This little girl is smarter than you.
too much."
"That's called ***, just wandering around blindly"
Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to Suisui, and said into her ear, "Before that, how about you come with me to Columbia, the capital of South Carolina?"
"What are you doing there?" Suisui also asked with a smile against Wei Ran's ear.
"For investigation, there are so many reporters hired by Cinderella outside. You have to put on a show. And if the illegitimate son really sends someone to contact me, he won't have a chance if he doesn't stay away, right?"
"That's right..." Suisui thought for a while, and still asked Wei Ran's ear, "When should we set off?"
"Let's take a day off today. How about tomorrow?"
Wei Ran got closer, "In case the illegitimate son sends someone to meet me, I may need you to help me create some alibi, otherwise it will be terrible if Cinderella's people find out.
.”
"I can't work in vain." As Suisui spoke, she stretched out her hands and hooked Wei Ran's neck.
"I'll give you half of the commission." Wei Ran smiled and offered the chips. "That little money is not enough!" After Suisui finished speaking, she even deliberately licked Wei Ran's earlobe.
"Not enough? Not enough...Then we can only pay with flesh!"
Before the words were spoken, the two people, who were neck to neck, had already rolled into a ball on the soft sofa.
In a blink of an eye, the next morning came. Under the bright sunshine, Anfeisa drove Suisui, Kouko and her legal advisor and housekeeper Horta to leave the hotel and drive to Colombia, more than 300 kilometers away.
Almost an hour later, Anfiya, who was wearing a men's formal suit, also drove a car provided by Carlos' lawyer, carrying Weiran, and a group of paid reporters behind her to leave Atlanta, and also drove to San.
Colombia, more than 100 kilometers away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity while waiting for a red light, Wei Ran handed his mobile phone to Anfeiya, who was in charge of driving.
"We stayed in Colombia for two to three days, helping me create the illusion that the illegitimate son sent someone to meet me, hiding it from April, and then assisted her to create the illusion that I had never left her."
After reading the text on the phone screen, Anfiya glanced at the red light that was still counting the seconds, tapped the phone screen with both hands and typed out a string of German words, "No problem, besides, my sister and I need self-defense weapons. This is the United States after all."
.”
"I'll give it to you when we get here," Weiran responded in Italian, and also deleted the text on the screen.
At the same time, Anfiya, who was pretending to be the driver, also stepped on the accelerator. When the light turned green, she drove the car and took the reporters behind her who were paid to do things.
