Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 267: Talented Reesi, Luo An System’s New Harvest
In the restaurant’s parking lot, there was a strange vibe inside a Chevrolet.
Luo An sat in the driver’s seat, looking dumbfounded at Reesi who suddenly burst into the back seat.
Mona in the passenger seat was also a bit puzzled, but not panicked, as Reesi’s usual behavior gave her quite a bit of confidence.
"Don’t misunderstand."
Seeing Luo An’s gaze, Reesi waved her hand as if waving off the effects of alcohol, and said:
"I just want to ask a question, then I’ll leave, there’s a girl waiting for me."
"OK."
Luo An turned around to a more comfortable position:
"What’s the question?"
"It’s about investment."
Reesi rubbed her hands together with a fly-like smirk, indicating she recently saved up over three hundred thousand US Dollars and wanted to buy stocks that she could hold long-term, so she came to Luo An for advice.
"You saved over three hundred thousand US Dollars?"
Before Luo An could answer, Mona instantly turned around, her face full of surprise, asking:
"How did you get that much money?"
"Of course, thanks to your Luo An."
Reesi chuckled heartily, explaining that ever since Luo An joined the No. 5 Investigation Team and solved the first case, she had been saving the bonus money from each case and her monthly salary without really spending any of it.
Moreover, she also got tens of thousands of dollars from that explosion case in Los Angeles.
"That can’t possibly add up to that much!" freewёbnoνel.com
Mona shook her head repeatedly. She too was a beneficiary, but despite being frugal, she hadn’t saved up that much, not to mention that Reesi was out every night, visiting various bars and parties after work.
Hearing Mona’s doubt, Reesi stood up with hands on her hips, full of pride:
"You think I spend money when I go to bars?"
Reesi claimed that when she went to bars and hotels, she always managed to have others pay for her with her exquisite verbal and manual skills, and sometimes she could even get a free pass from entertainment venues run by female bosses.
Not only that, Reesi said she also didn’t have the pressure of rent because the landlord, who was in his forties, was wooed by her within a week.
Therefore, Reesi’s actual daily expenses were just meal costs, but for breakfast, she usually scrounged from someone else or simply skipped it, and dinner usually involved going to a bar, leaving only lunch as her real expense.
"??!!"
Mona, looking at the triumphant Reesi in the back seat, was flabbergasted. Luo An’s eyes were wide open, and after a long silence, he raised his right hand and gave Reesi a thumbs-up:
"You’re truly a genius."
"Hahaha..."
Seeing this, Reesi threw her head back and laughed heartily:
"I think so too!"
However, the stock market is risky, and investments need to be made carefully. After sharing three companies he invested in with Reesi, Luo An emphasized that she must not put all her money in the stock market, at most only half of it.
Three hundred thousand may seem a lot, but on Wall Street, it’s merely a small leek.
"OK, I’ll remember your advice."
Reesi joyously took the note Luo An handed her, tonight would be yet another sleepless night for her.
But Reesi mentioned she has been reining herself in lately, no longer spending six out of seven nights a week out.
Now it’s only five.
No choice, getting older, she touched the corner of her eye and sighed - she was a woman nearly in her forties.
Mona and Luo An were about to say something sympathetic when, in the next second, the sorrow on Reesi’s face instantly vanished. She pushed open the car door, jumped out, and with a beaming smile said:
"But at this age, it’s even more important to enjoy life, right? Besides, I can still save money!"
With those words, Reesi shook the note to express her thanks to Luo An, then turned and ran towards the edge of the parking lot, where a girl was waiting for her.
"…"
Watching the distant figure starting to cuddle and laugh with a girl, Luo An’s face twitched uncontrollably, unsure of what to say.
He buckled his seatbelt, stepped on the gas, and drove the Chevrolet out of the parking lot. Luo An turned his gaze toward Mona, as the air pressure on the passenger side seemed a bit low.
"What’s wrong?"
"I’m so stupid, really."
Mona leaned against the car window and looked outside, whispering:
"I never thought Reesi had saved up so much money."
Mona had always thought Reesi was like her, someone who lives paycheck to paycheck...
She never expected her good sister to stab her in the back like that.
"But didn’t you already buy a small apartment?"
Seeing her like this, Luo An was somewhat speechless. Mona actually earned quite a bit herself, but she had been tight on money ever since buying that apartment.
Luo An’s attempts at comfort had no effect; Mona still looked utterly pale.
His usual jokes that were always on the tip of his tongue still couldn’t make Mona laugh. By the time the Chevrolet arrived at the base of the apartment building, Luo An saw no point in continuing the conversation. After parking the car, he directly lifted Mona out of the passenger seat, and said fiercely:
"It’s not a big deal, I’ll make you earn a few billion tonight!"
Mona: "??!!"
A million words later, Mona had successfully drifted off to sleep, and Luo An staggered into the bathroom.
He pressed the switch to start showering and opened the system page in his mind, taking out a bottle of stamina potion and drinking it down.
After cracking that AIDS case earlier, the system rated Luo An as ’Excellent,’ and the four treasure chests he received contained [Stamina Potion x1][Danger Perception Potion x2][Sensitivity Potion x1].
And after cracking the case involving the Federation Youth Hobbies Association, the system rated Luo An as ’Exceptionally Excellent,’ and the five treasure chests it generated contained [Painkiller Potion x2][Aquatic Breathing Potion x1][Sleep Potion x1][Swiftness Potion x1].
Now, Luo An’s system inventory page shows:
[Bleeding-Stopper Potion x5]
[Antidote Potion x3]
[Swiftness Potion x2]
[Strength Potion x2]
[Sensitivity Potion x2]
[Painkiller Potion x4]
[Featherfall Potion x2]
[Stamina Potion x2]
[Sleep Potion x2]
[Aquatic Breathing Potion x2]
[Weakness Potion x1]
[Danger Perception Potion x2]
As always, he would gargle with a bottle of stamina potion after every meal, and after drinking those two [Danger Perception Potions], Luo An found he seemed to be experiencing some other changes.
Previously, in sudden emergencies, Luo An felt a premonition before the danger occurred.
Even though he wasn’t quite used to the feeling of sitting on a ticking time bomb, it was, after all, something that could save his life.
After consuming the two [Danger Perception Potions] this time, Luo An found not only could he receive a warning in advance when encountering danger, but even in normal situations, when facing others, Luo An could faintly sense their attitudes towards him, though he couldn’t tell where it came from.
For example, when facing Mona, Luo An felt very comfortable, and when facing Reesi, Augustus, and Led, he could also sense a warm feeling.
But when facing those who he had caught himself, as soon as a thought crossed Luo An’s mind, a cold, chilling malice slammed into him.
Moreover, when riding the elevator in the Jacob Federation Building, sometimes when encountering some not so familiar passersby, Luo An could weakly sense their attitudes towards him.
Because everyone’s emotions are complex, filled with admiration, jealousy, curiosity, and more, Luo An couldn’t really figure out what they truly thought when they saw him.
However, that cold, chilling feeling of malice compared to the warm and spring-like good will, Luo An could easily distinguish between them.
"So, do I now have a teammate-enemy detector?"
Amidst the flow of water, Luo An cracked a smile, beginning to feel a bit curious about his life after moving to Los Angeles.
