America's westward expansion movement was, to put it bluntly, a territorial expansion movement. The result was that a large number of indigenous Indians were massacred, and they were reduced from one of the major races in the world to a minority, and almost
be exterminated.
The westward expansion movement occupies a very important part in the history of America and is the foundation of today's America.
It can be said that without the original westward expansion movement, America would not be the country it is today.
This medal comes from the period of the Westward Expansion Movement, and was awarded to bounty hunters with outstanding merits. It can be seen that it contains the killing atmosphere and historical energy of that period.
When Chen Feng was thinking this, he heard Molly say: "This should be the bounty hunter medal of that period. It was awarded to those bounty hunters with outstanding achievements. There are not many bounty hunters who can win this honor. Historically
There is no detailed record in the book, but there is no doubt that such a medal is very rare in existence. You are so lucky to have received such a historic medal."
Chen Feng nodded and smiled: "My luck has always been very good."
Molly smiled when she heard this and said, "I like this medal very much. Can you give it to me?"
Chen Feng shook his head and refused without thinking: "Sorry, I also like this badge very much."
Molly did not give up and added, "I am studying history. This medal is of great historical value to me. I am willing to pay $1,000. How about it?"
Chen Feng shook his head and refused again.
Molly frowned slightly and asked, "How much will it cost you to sell it to me?"
Chen Feng shrugged and said, "It's not a matter of money. I really like this badge and have been carrying it with me since I bought it."
Molly looked at Chen Feng's expression carefully and saw that he didn't look like he was lying. She felt a little discouraged, but she still made a last effort and said, "I can offer up to US$2,000."
Seeing that she wanted it so much, Chen Feng thought about it and then said: "Well, I really have no plans to transfer it for now, but that won't be the case in the future. If I want to transfer it in the future, I will contact you first, okay?
?”
"Okay, then you can add my Weite number and my contact number."
It seems that Molly is really interested in this medal and actively asked to exchange contact information with Chen Feng.
Chen Feng said that she did not have the prestige of Wei Te, and the other party immediately said that she could increase her prestige. After adding each other's prestige as friends, she took the initiative to exchange mobile phone numbers with Chen Feng.
This shows that she really wants this Bald Eagle Medal.
After holding it and looking at it for a while, she reluctantly gave it back to Chen Feng.
After finally getting back the Bald Eagle Medal, Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he roughly knew the origin of the medal, he would not easily show it to others in the future, lest it attract people's attention again.
There is no doubt that this female backpacker Molly is thinking about getting his medal.
After this little episode, although Chen Feng and Molly were talking and laughing next time, they were obviously not as natural and comfortable as before.
Fortunately, we arrived in San Diego not long after. Driver White first dropped Molly at the door of a hotel. Molly said a cordial farewell to the two of them and got off the car.
Then Chen Feng successfully returned to the house he rented with Pei Lei and Zeng Jiao.
Pei Lei was very happy to see Chen Feng back. Of course, the happiest thing was that the results of her genetic test came out not long ago, and the situation was very optimistic.
According to the test results from the hospital here, the probability of her baby inheriting mental illness is low, and there are no genes for other serious hereditary diseases.
Of course, if you are willing to spend money, or if you want to be as foolproof as possible, you can gene-edit babies, so that you can eliminate deformities and some congenital genetic diseases as much as possible.
As for whether to have gene-edited babies, Pei Lei still has to discuss it with Qin Zhen.
It's just because of the time difference. It's early morning in China now, so we have to wait until it's night here to contact Qin Zhen.
When Chen Feng heard the news, he immediately expressed congratulations to her.
Pei Lei and Qin Zhen both wanted to have a child, but because her mother was mentally ill and she had suffered from depression before, they were afraid that the child would inherit her and her mother's mental illness when they were born, so they had many concerns.
After coming here for a genetic test, it seems that there is nothing wrong with her, but this kind of thing cannot be guaranteed 100%.
After all, even if both spouses have normal genes, they may give birth to a child with dementia. This cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Qin Zhen will also come here for a genetic test. If there are no problems with him, then there is a high probability that the baby created naturally by the two parties will not have any genetic mental illness.
These more specific matters will not be discussed until Pei Lei contacts Qin Zhen herself in the evening.
Even if Chen Feng and Qin Zhen are close friends, it is impossible for him to give any advice when it comes to such matters, let alone help him make decisions.
He went upstairs to his room and took a shower. He came out of the bathroom and put on clean clothes. He picked up his phone and looked at it. There was a message from Molly, asking him if he was free in the evening. She wanted to treat him to dinner.
Chen Feng refused without thinking: [Sorry, I am not free tonight]
I thought that if he answered like this, the other party would give up.
But then Molly sent another message: [Then you should be free tomorrow, right?]
Chen Feng immediately frowned when he saw it. He didn't think he was so charming that he had charmed this female backpacker, so she took the initiative to contact him and wanted to date him.
So, why is she like this?
The only possibility that Chen Feng thought of was the Bald Eagle Medal in his hand.
Is there any secret to this Bald Eagle Medal? Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so persistent in approaching him.
【What's the reason for your date with me?】
Chen Feng asked directly.
This time the other party did not reply immediately, but after almost a minute, he replied: [Okay, let me tell you straight. It is about your medal. I really like it. I am willing to pay 5,000 now.
Can I buy it in U.S. dollars?】
Chen Feng asked directly: "Is there any secret in this medal? Otherwise, is it worth spending so much money?"
[It’s just a medal, and it’s made of metal. What secrets can it have? Its main value is historical value and commemorative significance. I study history, and I want to collect it. It’s that simple.]
[As I said before, I have no plans to resell it yet, so I’ll wait until some time later.]
【How long will it take?】
After Chen Feng made some estimates, he said: [Within one year]
Although this medal contains a lot of strange energy, if Chen Feng thinks about it, he will definitely be able to absorb it all within a year.
When the time comes, he will resell the Bald Eagle Medal that has absorbed all the strange energy to her, and at a high price. Of course, he will not lose money, but he will also make a little money.
[Is it okay within one month? If you are willing to sell it to me for one month, I can offer 10,000. Within two months, 5,000. For more than two months, the maximum price is 3,000.]
Molly knows how to use psychological tactics. If it were an ordinary person, Chen Feng would not know that this badge contains strange energy, and he would probably sell it to her quickly.
After all, when he bought it, he didn’t even get 50 US dollars, and it was sold for 10,000 US dollars after only one day. How could ordinary people not sell it?
But Chen Feng is an exception. Even if there is no special energy in this badge, and he is not short of money, if he really likes this badge, he may not sell it even if the other party offers 10,000 yuan.
What's more, the other party was playing tricks on him, which made Chen Feng a little disgusted.
Therefore, Chen Feng counterattacked: [I said I can sell it to you within one year, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be sold to you, do you understand? In addition, you said the maximum price is ten thousand US dollars, but I haven’t agreed yet. I think
This medal is worth at least $100,000]
When Chen Feng said this, Molly didn't respond for a while.
Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't bother to care. They were just ordinary people who just met today, and they couldn't be considered friends.
Although they had a pleasant chat with each other along the way, it was unlikely that Chen Feng would be led by the other party, and it was impossible for him to part with the Bald Eagle Medal.
His relationship with her was only slightly better than that between strangers.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not yet dinner time. Chen Feng didn't bother to go downstairs, so he just lay on the bed and checked his mobile phone.
After the car entered San Diego, Chen Feng reported to Brina on WeChat that she was safe, but now he did not take the initiative to contact her again.
After all, he is not her boyfriend, and the two of them are not lovers, so there is no need to be inseparable.
Chen Feng unilaterally did not want to deepen his intimate relationship with her.
It would also be good to be apart from each other for a while to let Brina's excessive enthusiasm cool down.
After reading two chapters of the online novel I was reading, Molly called directly.
Chen Feng thought for a while and finally answered the call.
"Chen, I want to buy your badge very sincerely. If you are willing to sell it to me now, I am willing to pay $50,000. This is really my greatest sincerity and price. I hope you can fulfill it."
When Chen Feng heard the other party's solemn tone, Chen Feng felt an indescribable feeling. After a moment of silence, he said: "I really don't want to sell it now. At least, you have to wait for me for two months."
If he absorbs enough every day, Chen Feng believes that he should be able to drain the energy from this badge within two months.
And Molly was actually willing to pay 50,000 US dollars. It seemed that she really cared about this medal. As long as he absorbed the energy inside, there was nothing wrong with selling it to her.
After hearing this, Molly was silent for a while, and then said: "I will give you one month at most. If you sell it to me within one month, it will be for $50,000. If it takes more than one month, I can't give you this."
Price. And, I can tell you for sure, you're going to be in trouble."
When Chen Feng heard her last words, he immediately felt unhappy. He laughed and said, "Are you trying to coerce me? I'm really curious, what kind of trouble will I get if I don't sell you this badge?"
Molly's tone suddenly became cold and she said: "I can tell you that the original owner of this medal in your hand should be a legendary bounty hunter in history. He suddenly disappeared when he was in his forties.
Of course, the missing medal was the medal he carried with him. His descendants have now spawned a large family, which has a certain influence in America. They have been trying to find this legendary bounty for generations.
It is our responsibility to track down the hunter. If they know that you have his medal, do you think there will be any trouble?"
Chen Feng frowned and asked, "So, you haven't told the descendants of this legendary bounty hunter about this, have you?"
Molly's tone was still cold and she said: "Yes, but I have to make a promise from you, that is, sell this medal to me within a month. Otherwise, I will not keep this matter secret for you, and I have no obligation to help you."
You kept this secret, didn't you? This medal will only bring trouble in your hands. I didn't lie to you, nor did I mean to threaten you. I just told the truth."
"How do I know that everything you say is true?" Chen Feng asked with a hint of disdain.
Molly wasn't angry either, but her tone was still cold and she said matter-of-factly: "You don't have to believe me, but I believe you will only suffer in the end. I know you didn't spend much money to buy this medal at the flea market.
, now I am willing to pay $50,000 to buy it, you have already made a lot, you should be satisfied."
Chen Feng suddenly smiled and then asked: "If what you said is true, then I guess you are one of the descendants of the so-called legendary bounty hunter, right?"
Molly suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she admitted frankly: "Okay, you guessed it. I am indeed one of his descendants. So, you should understand why I care so much about this medal, right?"
?It was originally something belonging to my ancestors and has a high commemorative significance for our family."
"Then I'm curious, why didn't you tell me when you were in the car before? You also deliberately hid it from me just now. Why is that?"
"I don't want to be ostentatious, and I don't want you to raise prices. If you want to hear the truth, then I will tell you the truth. My full name is Molly Lampson. Most of our Lampson family live in New York, New York.
If you haven’t heard of the Lampson family, you can search it on Google. The history of our family can be traced back to the time of Queen Victoria. Our ancestors immigrated to America from England more than two hundred years ago. We
The first generation ancestor of this lineage in America is the legendary bounty hunter Holder Lampson. The medal in your hand belongs to him, and it was the Medal of Honor awarded to him by the rulers of that year."
Chen Feng was a little dumbfounded when he heard her narration. He was not surprised about the other party's family history, but was surprised that it was such a coincidence.
He just bought this badge yesterday, and today he met the descendant of the original owner of this badge. What a coincidence.
"Don't you think this is my ancestor secretly guiding me to let me meet you and let me find the Medal of Honor that he lost back then? Therefore, it is most appropriate for you to sell the badge to me. We
The Lampson family must get back what belongs to their ancestors. And if you can sell it to me right away, you will win the friendship of our entire family."
After hearing what she said, Chen Feng couldn't help but said, "Let's do this. If what you said is true, I will try my best to return the badge to you within a month, free of charge."
When Molly heard that Chen Feng didn't want money, it was fifty thousand US dollars, which was not a small amount. She was a little surprised and asked: "Why don't you want money? Also, why do you have to pay me back after a month or two? You can't pay it back earlier."
?"
Chen Feng said: "If you are telling the truth, this badge originally belonged to your family, and I shouldn't have taken it as my own. As for why it took a month or two to return it to you, it's because I feel that I have nothing to do with this badge.
The badge is destined, after all, I just bought it yesterday, so I have to keep it with me for a month or two."
After Molly was stunned for a while, she took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I will give you a month at most. After one month, I will tell my family about this. What they will do is not me.
All that can be controlled.”
Chen Feng couldn't help but frown again after hearing this, still feeling somewhat threatened by the other party.
But from her awesome coaxing just now, it seems that the Lampson family she belongs to must have some strength.
"Okay, I understand, let's just say this first."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly. Although Chen Feng didn't want to offend anyone, he also resented being threatened.
He immediately used Gugou to search for the Lampson family in New York. Many search results came up quickly. He clicked on one and looked at it, and his eyes widened immediately.
The Lampson family is an old-money family that has been rich for several generations. It has accumulated enough wealth since more than a century ago. Today, the family's assets are as high as 120 billion U.S. dollars, and several of them are controlled by the family.
There are many listed companies in hand, and there are even more listed companies that I want to take shares in.
This old money family started out in shipping and railway transportation a hundred years ago and accumulated huge wealth. Today, the family's main business is medical health care products and cosmetics, which brings tens of billions of dollars in business to their family every year.
receive.
Chen Feng searched for Molly Lampson again, and he found it. There were some social photos shared by her on the Internet, as well as photos of her graduating from New York University with a master's degree. She was wearing a master's degree uniform and smiling brightly.
, she is much younger than what he saw today, her skin is much fairer, and she is a beautiful woman.
