Legendary FBI Detective

Luo An shifted his gaze from the computer and replied with a smile:

"I'm thinking about what I should do in the next two days."

After the Brent Hughes case was solved, because the financial crimes investigation division stepped in, the bonus hasn't been issued yet.

And for the "Serial Killings at the Seaside Pit," since it was just solved today but the next two days are the weekend, the rewards and bonuses will definitely not be issued until next week.

This week has already passed, and on Saturday and Sunday, they don't work at the FBI.

Upon hearing Luo An's words, the three of them who just realized this immediately showed joy, and Mona and Reesi quickly got together and started whispering.

Considering Mona never goes shopping with others, even if they are women, Luo An guessed that she and Reesi were probably discussing cosmetics.

That's because Reesi miraculously pulled out a bunch of cosmetics.

Luo An was quite envious of this skill of hiding things.

But he doesn't have an extradimensional space bag on his chest, so he can't learn it even if he wanted to.

"Do you want to come to my house tomorrow?"

Leder pushed his coffee cup aside and, patting his chest, extended an invitation for a barbecue gathering to Luo An.

Every other week, Leder and Ivana would invite friends and family for a grand barbecue gathering on weekends.

"Uh..."

Remembering how he was drunk last time and still felt dizzy the next day, when Ivana suggested he should drink some more alcohol to clear his head, Luo An was completely overwhelmed.

Texans' way of dealing with people is too simple and unpretentious, and Luo An isn't quite used to it yet.

However, having meat and drinks is better than lying idle at home, Luo An thought for a moment and was ready to agree when Augustus suddenly burst out of the group leader's office, pulling on his signature loud voice:

"Everyone, I plan to give my wife a surprise tomorrow and throw an anniversary party! If you're free, be sure to come!"

"What?"

"Anniversary party?"

Upon hearing this news, all agents in the fifth investigative group exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing their reactions, Augustus slapped his big belly and cheerfully stated that tomorrow just happened to be the 20th year of their marriage, and his daughter was also 22 years old, just perfect to have a party to celebrate.

Reesi, Leder, and others all smiled and promised they would definitely attend on time, and Luo An nodded and agreed as well.

But... married for 20 years, daughter aged 22.

Standing aside and scratching his head, this math problem seemed a bit tough for Luo An.

—

The next day, evening.

Luo An arrived at Augustus's home punctually on time.

Augustus's daughter's name is Lula, and frankly speaking, before coming here, Luo An had some other thoughts about her origins.

But after seeing Lula's face... well, she has a pleasing personality, clearly Augustus's own daughter.

Apparently, to the African-American community, having children before marriage isn't a big issue.

At least the father didn't run away.

After exchanging a few polite words, Luo An felt slightly awkward.

Everyone else brought their families.

Including Reesi.

She brought a new girlfriend, god knows where from.

Others invited also came with their wives, children, girlfriends, boyfriends.

It seems because it is the anniversary party, not bringing someone felt somewhat odd.

Just as Luo An picked up a glass of wine and was about to approach Mona to chat, Augustus's wife Siren came along.

Siren was very warm towards Luo An; she and Augustus walked over to him, and she initiated a conversation with Luo An.

Well, to be precise, it was Siren who actively engaged Luo An in conversation.

First, she complimented Luo An on his good looks, then kept probing indirectly to inquire if Luo An had a girlfriend and how his personal life was.

And about his daughter Lula still not having a boyfriend, how Luo An feels about his daughter Lula.

Luo An felt a bit embarrassed; Augustus also looked embarrassed, while Reesi covered her mouth and snickered on the side, and Mona was completely speechless.

Augustus thought his wife was being somewhat rude, but more importantly, he had a clear understanding of his daughter's appearance.

Ahem.

Augustus reminded his wife with a series of small actions, but it seemed to have no effect, fortunately, the arrival of new guests diverted everyone's attention.

From the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, Group Leader Dillon, Agent Norton, and an unknown young man.

Seeing Dillon enter the room, Augustus quickly strode forward, embraced him, and forcefully patted his back:

"Good evening! Old buddy!"

Upon seeing this, Dillon, determined not to be outdone, also laughed heartily and started patting Augustus's back forcefully:

"Happy anniversary, Augustus!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The loud thumping sounds of them patting each other's backs made everyone in the room roll their eyes.

Luo An took the opportunity to leave Siren, walking over to strike up a conversation with Agent Norton.

"Good evening, Norton."

"Good evening, Luo An."

Taking the drink handed to him by Norton, Norton looked at Luo An's handsome face, and while conversing with him, felt very emotional inside.

Since last meeting Luo An during the undercover serial killer case, Agent Norton recognized Luo An as an extraordinary talent and harbored the idea of luring Luo An to their Organized Crime Investigation Bureau.

But after voicing his thoughts, because of Augustus, Group Leader Dillon ultimately chose to reject.

Agent Norton felt very regretful about this; once the leader made a decision, he naturally couldn't secretly recruit Luo An.

However, Norton still chose to cultivate a good relationship with Luo An, like going fishing together.

Although Luo An that day said he forgot his helmet, so he just watched him fish.

After the fishing event, because of a gang starting to cause trouble, Norton hadn't really contacted Luo An lately.

Once he finally finished his tasks and was about to invite Luo An out for drinks, he unexpectedly learned Luo An had been promoted from a regular agent to a senior agent!

Hearing this news, the first reaction in Norton's mind was disbelief.

Let alone the fact Luo An had not been a regular agent for long since his internship, Norton himself had taken several years to rise from regular agent to the current senior agent!

Why did you, Luo An, get promoted to my rank so quickly?

Through various means, Norton found out that recently Luo An had solved the [Bank Serial Robbery Case], [Explosion at the Federal Prosecutor's Office], [Press Conference Explosion Case], [Male Corpse in Park River Case], and just yesterday Luo An solved the [Beach Pit Serial Murder Case].

Although he didn't know the specific content and details of these cases, seeing the number of cases, Agent Norton fell silent.

Then he practically wanted to storm into the group leader's office and beat Dillon up:

Their Organized Crime Investigation Bureau deals daily with vicious, cunning gang criminals, and agents with brains and skills like Luo An are exactly the talents they desperately need.

Why did you refuse before? Why didn't you snatch Luo An from Augustus's side?

But as much as he thought about it, Norton dared not actually tear into Dillon; he could only sigh silently with a troubled expression.

Group Leader Dillon actually had deep regrets too, so much that he wished he could travel back in time to slap himself.

He knew even more about the situation than Norton, such as Lady Heloise from CIA who didn't win the resurrection round.

But now that Luo An had been promoted to senior agent, and with Augustus watching over Luo An as closely as guarding a treasure, Dillon found he had no opportunity to poach Luo An anymore...

In short, one word: regret!

Luo An didn't know Norton and Dillon's thoughts, nor would he care if he did.

Isn't it excellent working under a beautiful boss like Vireness?

Why change places?

After briefly exchanging pleasantries with Norton, Luo An shifted his gaze to the young man beside Norton, whom he did not recognize.

Since entering Augustus's house, this young man had been staring at him.

Luo An and Norton clinked their glasses and asked:

"Could you introduce this agent beside you?"
