Chapter 746： Conversation, what happened back then

Chapter 746: Conversation, what happened that year

 7:30 pm, Washington, D.C., a temporary prison.

In a small interrogation room, Joseph changed into an orange-red prison uniform, but his slicked-back hair style remained the same, and his hair was still meticulously combed.

 “Good evening, Roan.”

Sitting on the chair with his hands cuffed, Joseph looked at Luo An across the interrogation table, suddenly laughed, and asked:

 “Can you get me a cup of coffee? I’m getting older and it’s hard to keep up.”

"certainly."

Roan did not refuse. He found the prison guard and took a coffee pot, poured Joseph a cup of coffee, poured himself another cup, and then said with a smile:

“I’m afraid the coffee in prison doesn’t taste as good as the ones you used to drink.”

 “It’s okay, I just took a few sips to refresh myself.”

 “But he was not as thick-skinned as you at that time.”

Joseph's face was full of memories, and he said a lot of words to praise Luo An's father. Finally, he lowered his head and turned his eyes to Luo An, and added with a smile:

"And he is very popular with women. You look like him, so you should be able to feel this."

  “Unfortunately, not really.”

Luo An nodded and accepted Joseph's compliment calmly. Joseph was slightly taken aback and said with a smile:

Luo An was no longer surprised that rich people could always get such privileges in the Federation. He did not discuss this topic and went straight to the point:

 “I knew you were here because of this matter.”

“Charles is a very good accountant and a good friend. He is honest, hard-working and smart...”

 But the contact between me and Charles is more about work and company business, and I don’t know much about his life.

Luo An didn’t beat around the bush, and Joseph stopped talking nonsense. He spread his hands and said:

“I was also shocked when I learned that Charles was shot and died.

“Mr. Joseph, you said before that you knew my father very well.”

“Counting the time, more than twenty years have passed. Time flies so fast.”

At that time, Luo An’s father, Charles, had already obtained a doctorate in accounting and was doing exchange seminars at a university in Pennsylvania.

Luo An picked up the coffee and drank it in one gulp, then asked:

Joseph crossed his hands on his abdomen, leaned back on the chair, looked at Luo An with a smile, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and said:

"Now that you have guessed why I came to you, what do you want to say?"

 Later I went to the funeral in person to express my condolences. Your mother Beverly was very sad. I couldn’t ask too many questions at the time, so I left Boston after attending the funeral. "

 Later, Charles and Beverly got married, and the two bought the villa in Boston where Roan had lived since childhood. Part of the money spent came from the salary of this consultant position.

 Joseph picked up the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste made his face wrinkle a little more. Then he put down the coffee cup, raised his eyebrows at Luo An, and said with a smile:

“My lawyer has convinced the prison that they will provide me with high-quality coffee. It’s just that the temporary detention here is a little difficult.”

ˆ Joseph said that more than 20 years ago, his company encountered a lot of troubles due to tax issues.

The two met by chance. Charles spent more than a month helping Joseph solve the tax problem. Joseph also hired Charles to become his company's tax consultant.

 “Indeed.”

Luo An’s brows moved slightly:

“In other words, you don’t have any clues at all?”

 “Not really.”

 Joseph crossed his legs, looked at Luo An quietly, and said:

“In addition to my own company, Charles works as a consultant for a number of companies.

　　When we were chatting, I asked him why he did this. The reason Charles gave me was that he wanted to give Beverly a superior life, so he was short of money.

At the funeral, Beverly asked our friends to help investigate who killed Charles. I also sent people to investigate, but the final investigation result was nothing. "

 Speaking of this, Joseph took a deep look at Luo An and said in a deep voice:

“In the Federation, there are not many things that we rich people can’t find anything about.” ˆ ˆ “…”

Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and understood the subtext of Joseph's words.

With thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, Luo An pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked:

 “Mr. Joseph, do you have any suggestions?”

 Joseph smiled, raised his head and touched his hair, and said:

“I am fifty-nine years old this year and will soon be sixty. I have completed two-thirds of my life. Coupled with the money I earned in the first half of my life, I have the capital and ability to avenge my son.

 You are not yet thirty years old this year and you have reached the position of leader of the special investigation team. Your future must be very bright.

If you want to reach the future, the first thing you need to ensure is that your body is fine. What do you think? "

Joseph's words are not difficult to understand. He suggested that Luo An should be patient for now and not investigate. When his status reaches a certain level and he has accumulated enough, it will be too late to take revenge.

Roan did not express his opinion on Joseph's suggestion. After chatting for a while, he called the prison guard and asked him to take Joseph back to the cell.

Before being taken away, Joseph took a deep look at Luo An, smiled at Luo An, and finally left with the prison guards.

Looking at Joseph's disappearing back, Luo An was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned, turned around and left the temporary prison.

"I'm back."

 Half an hour later, Luo An returned to the villa carrying several bags of vegetables, beef and other ingredients, stood at the door of the villa and shouted loudly:

 “Mona, come here and help me!”

"coming!"

Mona shouted in the bedroom on the second floor and hurried downstairs to help get things. She put the things Luo An bought back into the refrigerator. She smiled and asked:

 “Are you going to eat at home tonight?”

Luo An stood aside and washed his hands. Hearing this, he looked confused:

"you mean?"

 “Let’s go out to eat tonight, I’ll treat you!”

Mona put her hands on her hips and said with pride on her face:

“Remember that “Rose’s City” restaurant in South Washington, D.C., we’re going to eat there tonight!”

  Rose’s City, a very famous creative restaurant located in Washington, DC, has been hailed by some media as the best restaurant in the Commonwealth.

The restaurant is busy but does not receive many people every day. Ordinary people can get a place for dinner on the first floor by queuing up in the morning;

  Rich people can get a dinner quota in the VIP room on the second floor through the reservation made by the introducer. The dishes on the first floor and the second floor are different.

In the past, when they were on vacation, Luo An and Mona not only traveled to various places to take photos, but also went to various restaurants to eat and drink and taste delicious food.

The restaurant Rose’s City is so famous, so Luo An naturally wanted to try it out, but he couldn’t get the VIP room that he had reserved for half a month.

"Wow."

Hearing that Mona had successfully reserved a seat, Luo An raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"how did you do that?"

 “It’s a secret, I won’t tell you.”

Mona chuckled, reached out and patted Luo An on the shoulder, holding her head high and said:

“Hurry back to your room and change clothes. We’ll drive there to eat later. I want to see what delicious food this restaurant has!”

Roan wiped his hands, hugged Mona and kissed her on the mouth, lowered his head and asked with a smile:

“I change clothes very quickly, but you, are you ready to change into a dress?”

 “Of course I bought it as a new one.”

Mona said of course:

 “The other dresses are more than a month out of date.”

  Luo An: “…”
