Chapter 308 Divorce Man Ross Gives You a Chance, You Don’t Use It(1/2)
Chapter 308: Divorce Hero Ross, even if I give you a chance, you’ll be useless!
"You mean my brother, Ross, won the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot?"
Monica was stunned for a long time and asked word by word.
"Is that your brother Ross Geller on the video?"
The private detective took out his mobile phone, clicked on a surveillance video, and put it in front of Monica's eyes.
"It really is……"
Monica opened her eyes wide and took a look. She didn't even need to look closely. Just by looking at the expression and movements of the female staff member at the lottery station, she was sure that it was her brother.
Then her legs went weak and she was supported by Chuck, holding onto Chuck's hand.
"Chuck, I didn't dream, did Ross really win the jackpot?!!!"
"No nightmares."
Chuck nodded: "It's true."
"my Lord."
Monica exclaimed in surprise: "2.04 billion U.S. dollars, how much does it cost? I am the biological sister of a billionaire... huh? Why is this a nightmare?"
Chuck gave a self-aware look, then looked at the private detective: "Do you know Ross's whereabouts?"
"I was just about to ask you."
The private detective kept looking at Chuck and Monica: "I just received the investigation task, don't you know where he is?"
"have no idea!"
Monica immediately became worried: "He has been unreachable for two days... Damn Chandler!!!"
"What does this have to do with Chandler Bing?"
The private detective probed.
"Of course it does matter!"
Monica said frantically: "Just now we mentioned that we couldn't contact Ross, and he joked that maybe Ross was lucky enough to win the jackpot and then unfortunately got kidnapped... God, Chuck, Ross can't really
Was he kidnapped?"
"Probably."
Chuck said bluntly: "This is 2.04 billion U.S. dollars, which is enough to make Ross the real hot topic. It is very common for kidnapping to become a daily routine in the future."
"Didn't I hear that the surveillance video is only used to determine the winner, and personal privacy will not be leaked before receiving the prize?"
Monica was worried and puzzled: "He didn't even have time to notify us of the news that Ross won the lottery, which means someone must have known the news earlier than him."
The private detective smiled and said nothing.
He is only employed by the National Lottery Association and is not a member of the National Lottery Association. There is no need to be embarrassed by this kind of information leakage.
"This is normal."
Chuck explained: "Although it stands to reason that no information will be disclosed before the winner receives the prize, the lottery station that issued the first prize must have made some mistakes, causing the video to be leaked. For those who are interested, it is very easy.
Find out the news."
When claiming a prize in the American Powerball Lottery, you cannot accept it anonymously and your identity must be disclosed, so unless you don’t want to give up so much money, you have to stand in front of the stage.
But before receiving the award, the identity information should be kept secret, but it was nothing more than a joke.
"Chuck!"
Monica held Chuck's hand, her eyes filled with worry.
Now she is basically sure that her brother Ross has really been kidnapped. Otherwise, given Ross's character, there would be no news at all after two days.
The strong shock and surprise of the 2.04 billion grand prize has long since turned into deep worry.
She values family ties more than money!
"This is good news."
Chuck said calmly.
"How to say?"
Monica looked at him eagerly.
"Now that this surveillance video has fallen into the hands of the National Lottery Association, it shows that the winner of the 2.04 billion jackpot is Ross."
Chuck explained: "Ross's life will not be in danger before the 2.04 billion grand prize is claimed."
In the past, when surveillance was not so developed, Ross would have definitely been ripped off by now. Anyway, whoever holds the lottery ticket can claim it.
But now it is a video testimonial. Unless Ross goes to collect it in person, even if he grabs the lottery ticket, he will not be able to collect it.
"I should relax."
Monica smiled bitterly and said: "But in fact it's not true at all. How should I tell my parents, Chuck, you will definitely be able to save Ross, right?"
"I try my best."
Chuck raised his decorative glasses.
"What should we do now? Call the police first?"
Monica said anxiously.
"This matter is already obvious, stop following me."
Chuck said something to the private detective, then motioned for Monica to get in the car and drove quickly away from the scene.
"where are we going?"
"Go to the lottery station where the lottery is drawn first."
Chuck dialed Detective Shenfan's number as he spoke: "Detective Peralta, follow Chandler and check Ross's apartment to see if there are any clues."
The detective Shenfan over there naturally agreed happily. Although it was not his jurisdiction, with Chuck's greeting, his chief would definitely not hesitate.
And he was finally able to team up with Chandler to go out on the police force.
"Private detective, are you okay?"
Monica was relieved when she saw that Chuck had officially taken over and started making arrangements, and thought of the private detective who had secretly followed them just now.
"What could be the problem?"
Chuck asked rhetorically.
"He was hired by the National Lottery Association to investigate whether this jackpot is related to you, and Ross is my brother."
Monica worried: "Will the lottery be declared invalid?"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help complaining: "I was kidnapped just after I won the lottery. I don't know how much trouble I will be in from now on. I would rather the lottery ticket is invalid... at least I won less."
"You will be disappointed."
Chuck said bluntly: "The lottery will not be declared invalid, because if Ross knew that I might affect his lottery, he would definitely say that he doesn't know me, or directly say that we are enemies. In short, it will never affect him in receiving the lottery.
It's easy to have fewer lottery tickets. After receiving it, just donate most of it in public, but do you think Ross can do such a thing?"
"..."
Monica was speechless.
Based on her understanding of Rose's stingy temperament, every time he went to a hotel to stay, he would pack up everything the hotel could pack and take it back. Asking him to donate most of his winnings was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
"It really won't affect you?"
Monica suppressed her complaints about her brother's racial talent, and her mind returned to the private detective's investigation of Chuck.
"I remember that you were a consultant to the National Lottery Association, and you were paid a lot of money just to prevent you from buying lottery tickets. They must have asked you to sign some kind of agreement, right?
Now that Ross has won the lottery, even though you have a bad relationship, there is me in the middle, so they will definitely suspect that it is related to you, and will they sue you for breach of contract?"
"Won't."
Chuck said calmly: "I didn't sign any punitive agreement at all. You misunderstood a concept. It's not that I want to take their money, but that they have repeatedly begged me to take money as a consultant."
"...Then why are they still investigating you?"
Monica was puzzled.
"Routine investigation."
Chuck said: "It's also because the jackpot amount this time is unprecedented, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to go through the cutscene."
Long Island gas station.
When Chuck and the others arrived, there was a huge line of people waiting to buy lottery tickets, and everyone was discussing the news that this store had given out the largest prize in history.
Although the possibility of winning a huge prize in this store again is almost impossible, buying lottery tickets is a matter of luck, and people obviously believe in the cases that have already been successful.
Chuck found his boss and looked at him: "Did you spread the news?"
"No, it's a system failure."
The boss's eyes flickered, seeing Monica's disbelief, he shrugged and smiled.
“Don’t look at me like that, even regular elections and sacred polling stations can have various malfunctions on the day of the election.
My place is a small gas station and lottery station. Isn’t it normal for something to break down and leak?”
"..."
Monica was speechless.
To be continued...
