Chapter 7 Million Dollars
"Odd Reed?"
Roang thought for a moment in confusion, then his eyes suddenly froze, his mouth widened, and he growled in shock: "Odd Reed? That Odd Reed from 'O' Block?!"
Lauren smiled wryly and nodded, "That's the Odd Reed known as the 'O' Street Boss!"
Roang swallowed subconsciously, that was Aud Reed, M-FXXK's Aud Reed!
The boss who controls the underground in the South District, and even the craziest neighborhood in the South District, is directly called O Street, because that is the headquarters of Odd.
Luo Ang couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the yard.
He originally thought that his father died in an accident.
Now his mother told him that Robben died of being murdered.
He originally thought that his father's baldness was a hereditary disease, which made him a little scared.
Now his mother told him that Robben was too smart, which made Luo Ang feel relieved.
wrong!
I am also very smart, so I still have to pay attention to the fact that my father was not very handsome before, but very ugly.
"FXXK!"
Luo Ang wanted to slap himself. What was he thinking about now? Was it important to be bald now?
Odd Reed is all that matters now!
He originally thought that his father was honest and did his duty. After all, naming him Robben meant that he hoped to be able to do his duty.
Now his mother tells him that Robben is actually connected to one of the most powerful underground people in the South District, and he once served as his personal lawyer and financial consultant?
Shet, what case can a man like Odd have to defend, starting with murder?
Just like the former Mafia boss Al Capone, the underground mayor of Chicago, it is rumored that there is a special team within the Chicago Police Department that has prepared nearly 100,000 documents, all of which are related to him.
This godfather, nicknamed the ‘Underground Mayor’, was sentenced to more than 20,000 years in prison after being caught!
Roang estimated that for someone of Odd Reed's level, there would definitely be corresponding information in the C.P.D., but he had never caught the clue.
Of course, judging by the degree of corruption in the Chicago Police Department, it is very likely that the failure to take action was intentional.
But in any case, Luo Ang had never thought that his father would actually serve as a personal lawyer for such a person.
The bald man who had always been smiling in his eyes was actually a black-money lawyer behind his back?
Lauren watched Roang's expressions changing, and she probably guessed what he was thinking. She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, your dad doesn't have the guts to have anything to do with Aude..."
Then he hesitated and said uncertainly: "At least not in the past few years, because at the beginning he didn't know that Mr. Reed who hired him was Aud Reed of the South District. After all, Chicago is so big, and from time to time
One or two unknown Old Money would pop up, so he didn’t pay attention at first..."
"In addition, at that time, the family was very short of money, so under Gerald's introduction, he served as Reid's financial advisor and personal lawyer."
Luo Ang nodded. You can indeed often hear legends about the old money family in the streets of Chicago. It is even rumored that many old money families live in manors on the outskirts of the city.
Come to think of it, the reason why my father had no suspicion back then was because this kind of unknown but very wealthy man fit in well with the rumored old Qian family, so he accepted the other party's entrustment.
Lauren combed her hair and continued: "In the first two years, things developed very smoothly. Robben became quite famous in the financial district by working as a financial consultant for Reid. Everyone said that he
He is a complete mathematical genius, so some companies and wealthy people began to hand over their tax payment plans to Robben."
"That is to say, from that year onwards, Robben's salary began to grow rapidly. From the previous annual salary of less than 20,000 US dollars, to 1983 it was already a full 100,000 US dollars!"
Luo Ang recalled the changes in his life that year. It seemed that it was indeed from 1983 that his family began to lose their rigidity. At the end of that year, his father also bought his first car, a second-hand Ford.
"If this continues, everything will be wonderful. The problem is that in mid-1984, a C.P.D. sergeant found Robben..."
Sheriff?
Luo Ang asked quickly: "Is that Sheriff Boyt?"
"You remember... it was him, a member of a special unit of the Chicago Police Department."
"How could I forget that he just broke into our house without anything? I said I wanted to call 911, and the fierce uncle pointed at himself and said, 'I just don't need to call!'"
Recalling the situation that day, Luo Ang muttered with some dissatisfaction.
Glancing at him, Lauren said: "After Boyt came that day, Reed, who never came again except when he and Gerald came to the lawyer's office to sign a contract, asked Gerald to take him to the law firm the next day.
I took Robben to meet him."
meet?
It should be forced questioning. After all, Dad has been visited by people from the C.P.D. Reed must be very anxious, worried that Dad will say something detrimental to the other party, Luo Ang thought to himself.
"That is, after that day, Robben, who was originally high-spirited, suddenly changed." Lauren hugged her coat. "It was obviously planned before that he would move to an apartment in Hyde Park until 1985. Before that, he had lived in North Korea.
We were in a house in the district, but Robben insisted on taking out a loan and moving there first, so I had a lot of quarrels with him. Now that I think about it, it was probably because of this 'meeting' that he felt something was wrong."
No wonder when he was a child, his father suddenly changed his personality and started quarreling with his mother every day. Luo Ang instantly figured out the strange things that he had never understood before.
Robben has always been very kind in his mind, and in the memory before that, the couple treated each other with respect. However, in late 1984, Robben suddenly became extremely tough, and he and Lauren kept quarreling about the house.
This problem has always troubled Luo Ang's heart, so that when he was young, he once thought that his father suffered from schizophrenia.
"Not long after we moved to Hyde Park, Robben sold the car he had just bought and said he wanted to buy a bulletproof one. This made me feel baffled at the time and persuaded him not to overspend," Lauren said bitterly
He smiled and said: "This is the word your dad has said the most to me since we met. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to say it to him..."
Luo Ang also sighed and asked in a low voice: "Then what? Why did dad finally..."
Lauren said: "Then in 1985, because of the police chief, Reed no longer entrusted him with his tax payment plan, but Robben, who had become famous, did not care. Instead, he was very happy to be able to work with Reed.
Get out of the relationship.”
"In April 1985, Reid suddenly broke into Robben's office with Gerrard, and took a total of 200,000 US dollars, packed in two handbags, full of cash, and asked Robben to help him find a solution.
