Chapter 8 The Murderer
Take the cash and let dad figure it out?
What else could it be? He must be being targeted by the IRS, so he should be anxious to get rid of the money, Luo Ang guessed silently.
"Robben didn't agree at first, and Reid didn't say anything else. He just said to him before leaving, 'Don't forget how you got to where you are today.' Back home that day, Robben kept looking gloomy and thinking about himself.
Lock yourself in the study all night."
"Three days later, Reid came again. This time, there was no room for Robben to speak. He asked his subordinates to force Gerrard and him to fly to Las Vegas, saying that he had thought of a solution that would not cause any problems.
Methods to Invest in Sports Projects.”
"Reed picked the Chicago Bulls, believing that team would definitely make it to the second round of the playoffs that year."
When Roang heard that he was related to the Chicago Bulls, he immediately recalled the team's playoff trip in 1985, and his face suddenly changed. If he remembered correctly, the Chicago Bulls that year were directly defeated by the opponent Celtics by 3 points.
:0 swept out!
Lauren saw him react and said softly: "The first game is 200,000, the second is 800,000, and then the third..."
"At that time, Reed, who was cornered by the C.P.D. and IRS, invested a million dollars in the third game in Chicago. Gerald later found out that it was something he could still use at the time without being targeted.
The last payment..."
"Reed seems to be planning to collect two million US dollars to channel a certain big shot so that he can get extra time to escape from America..."
As a result, the Chicago Bulls lost the game at home, and Reid, who had originally planned to invest to obtain more liquidity, lost his last chance?
Luo Ang sat next to Lauren and asked in a low voice: "What was the result? I remember that Reed was caught in the middle of 1985, and then he was accidentally killed by a prisoner in prison. How could he still take action against his father?
?”
Lauren shook her head, "I don't know why Robben died. Gerald has been asking about it in the past few years. Just last week, he sent me a letter saying that he might have found the murderer.
It was done by a person nicknamed 'Eight Claws'. He planned to find someone to confirm whether the news was true, but today someone from the C.P.D. said that he died unexpectedly..."
Uncle Gerald found out the truth about his father's death, so he died unexpectedly today. What an accident!
Is it called ‘Eight Claws’?
Luo Ang lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly to prevent his ferocious beast-like gaze from leaking out. His mind was constantly churning with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
Lauren didn't notice anything strange about him. In her eyes, Luo Ang was shocked after knowing the truth. After all, Luo Ang had always been very well-behaved.
She exhaled, looked at the sky and said: "Although Gerald was the person who indirectly caused Robben to fall into the whirlpool, Robben told me back then that he actually didn't care about this, because Gerard
Ladd did not expect at first that it was Oded Reed who was behind it. Reed's disguise was so successful that not only them, but even the people in the law firm did not see the problem."
"After meeting with Reid that day, although Robben moved to Hyde Park, he did not cancel Reid's business. Robben once told me that Gerrard has never been a good person..."
"Gerrard grew up with Robben in Chinatown and went to the same school since he was a child. It was Gerrard who has been helping Robben from being bullied in school. So for Robben, although he is not a good person, he is
Indeed the brother he grew up with..."
"After Robben died, Gerrard came to see me, but I was in grief at that time and said a lot of hurtful words to him. Since that day, he has not shown up, but he will mail a letter to my home every month.
One hundred and fifty dollars."
"He specially wrote a letter, saying that he knew that Robben was poor and his parents did not have medical insurance. His father died of illness early and his mother also died of illness. When he was in Las Vegas, he drank to him.
The grief I experienced later..."
"Robben knew what he did was wrong, but he didn't want his son to be called buck-toothed when he grew up because he didn't have dental insurance. He also didn't want his son to be unable to afford medical expenses because he didn't have medical insurance.
Finally died in pain!"
Lauren looked at the silent Luo Ang, and said with an uneasy expression: "So no matter what, I have to pay for your medical insurance and dental insurance, and let you go to the University of Chicago and see it.
Where your father once studied!"
"University of Chicago..." Luo Ang said softly
"Yes, your father was the only Asian student admitted to the University of Chicago. As his son, if you have that talent and ability, you have to go to college!"
Lauren finished speaking firmly, looked back at the house, and continued: "Before going to Las Vegas, your father opened an account in the bank and deposited 30,000 US dollars, treating it as yours.
College Fund..."
"I have been saving money over the years. Now I have more than 35,000 US dollars in my account. Although there is still a shortfall, I will find a way for the rest. All you have to do is work and study to become a Madford High School student.
The first student admitted to the University of Chicago in thirty years!"
Luo Ang watched Lauren subconsciously touch her left hand and found that the ring on her left ring finger was missing, with only a circle of dents. He instantly understood what she was talking about.
He raised his head and couldn't help but want to speak, but when he saw his mother's eyes and the will contained in them, he couldn't open his mouth.
He understood that for Lauren at this time, whether the ring was still there was not as important as whether his son could go to college.
So he didn't say much, but his thoughts about making money became more and more intense.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lauren felt that Luo Ang was under pressure to get admitted to the University of Chicago, so he comforted him: "With your ability, as long as you maintain your current level of investment in the next two years, the threshold of the University of Chicago will tell you
It can be overcome, you have to believe in yourself!"
Luo Ang nodded, indicating that he understood her thoughts, but couldn't help but ask: "But, what should D'Antoni do?"
Lauren frowned and said softly: "No matter what, his father died for Robben. We can't turn a blind eye to his son. His mother is in prison now. We can only take care of him first. We can't turn a blind eye to him."
Send it to an orphanage?"
"But?"
"I understand what you mean. He's just a child. I'll find another part-time job and wash your old clothes tomorrow. It can also keep him going for a while. He also grew up in the South District and won't have too much trouble.
Many opinions."
Seeing Lauren's determined look, Roang knew that no matter what he said, he wouldn't listen, so he supported his mother who was shaking a little when she stood up after sitting for a long time.
Looking at Lauren who waved her hands to indicate that she was fine, told him to go to bed early, and walked towards the second floor, Luo Ang quietly returned to his room, lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. His last thought before falling into a deep sleep was,
