Legendary FBI Detective

Javari's words were abrupt and nonsensical, leaving Luo An stunned for a moment before he replied with a smile:

"Language scholars, very clever."

"Really?"

Once Javari heard this, he took a deep look at Luo An, said nothing more, clinked glasses, and the two drank their drinks in one go, then started chatting about other topics.

Meanwhile, next door to Luo An and Javari's room, Mona was sitting at a desk fiddling with a computer, and Caroline was lying on the bed, using a pen to calculate their expenses and earnings for this period.

The expenditures were significant, but Caroline had pushed them to the back of her mind, focusing entirely on the earnings.

Firstly, there was the 152 million Luo An had won in the casino.

Before they entered the casino, they had already prepared the distribution of funds; Luo An, as the main player of the card game, took seventy percent, which amounted to 106.4 million. Caroline took twenty percent, making 30.4 million, while Mona took ten percent, making 15.2 million.

Besides, there was also the 130 million retirement money prepared by Mr. Brenekoff. Luo An took fifty percent of it, which was 65 million, while Mona and Caroline each took twenty-five percent, amounting to 32.5 million each.

Adding all the earnings together, Luo An obtained a total of 171.4 million, Mona received 47.7 million, and Caroline received 62.9 million.

"Ah—"

Looking at the numbers in front of her, a brilliant light flashed in Caroline's eyes, and she exclaimed excitedly, then suddenly hugged Mona and kissed her fiercely on the face.

Mona was startled by Caroline's loud shout and her sudden attack, and immediately pushed her away with a look of disgust:

"Caroline! What are you going crazy for?!"

"Nothing, just wanted to express my gratitude to you and Luo An."

Caroline chuckled, put the calculated results in front of Mona, then placed her hands on her hips and laughed:

"Also, I'm older than you; you should call me 'sister,' not directly by my name."

"Got it, Caroline."

Mona saw the numbers on the notebook, a joyful smile also flashing in her eyes, but she didn't pay much attention to Caroline, responding casually before throwing the notebook back to Caroline and continuing to tap on the computer keyboard.

"Hmph."

Caroline threw the notebook back onto the bed with a cold snort. She looked at the sea outside, then suddenly leaned close to Mona, whispering with a smile:

"Guess what those two men in the next room are talking about?

I bet they're talking about you."

Mona didn't respond to Caroline, but Caroline didn't mind and continued on her own:

"Luo An really likes you, no need to analyze that.

But Father also loves you very much and always hoped you would stay away from chaotic dangers and live a safe life as an ordinary person. He was very angry when he found out you joined the FBI..."

Caroline rambled on a lot before concluding:

"Father will probably have Luo An try to convince you to leave the FBI, and since Luo An loves you, he might just agree..."

"Have you said enough?"

Mona snapped her laptop shut, turned her head to look at Caroline, and said coldly:

"First, Luo An loves me, but he also respects me, and unless I want to, he won't force me to leave the FBI.

Second, Javari is my biological father, but he has been very uninvolved in my life over the years, so he has no right to dictate my life choices.

If you have nothing better to do, think about how to spend that money once you get back to Germany, whether to invest or whatever, just make a plan for yourself, and don't disturb me, OK?"

With that, Mona didn't wait for Caroline to respond, grabbed her laptop, opened the door, and left the room.

"..."

Watching the door close, Caroline sat silently for a long time, not knowing what to think, and eventually lifted the bed covers and crawled in.

——————

In the adjacent room, two bottles of vodka were already missing from the table, and Javari's face and eyes had become completely red.

Luo An was also somewhat out of it, and while Javari was pouring more vodka and not paying attention, he poured himself two bottles of energy drink which made him feel much better.

"Mona is a very contradictory girl."

Javari picked up his glass again and clinked it with Luo An's as he said:

"She's lazy in her life but hardworking in her studies; she's smart when it comes to computers, but sometimes she does some foolish things that leave you speechless.

However, these are not the biggest issues; do you know what Mona's biggest problem is?"

Without giving Luo An a chance to answer, Javari continued:

"She appears strong, as if she can handle anything by herself.

But, deep down, Mona is extremely weak, weak to the point where if she meets someone like you who can protect her, she will subconsciously lean close to you, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand."

Luo An nodded his head, saying thousands of words, but in the end, it was still Javari, the old father, who was afraid of him hurting Mona.

Luo An had never been a father and couldn't put himself in that position, but he could guess what Javari was thinking.

"No, you don't understand at all…"

After another glass of vodka, Javari continued to ramble on, saying whatever came to mind, while Luo An quietly listened from across the table, not getting impatient. If he ever had a prized possession but it brought home a pig, Luo An felt he would probably helplessly drink as well.

Wait a second, isn't that comparing myself to a pig?

Luo An's expression changed, and he pushed the glass of vodka aside; alcohol really isn't a good thing, it even messed up his thoughts.

Soon, Javari was snoring loudly on the floor, and Luo An got up, carried him to the bed, then left the room to go outside and catch some sea breeze to clear his mind.

On the cruise ship deck, Mona found a very drunk Luo An, she got two glasses of lemon honey water and walked over to him, handing him a glass.

"Thank you."

Luo An accepted the lemon honey water, thanked her with a smile, and took a small sip.

Mona patted Luo An's back and after a few seconds of silence, she asked in a low voice:

"What did you and Javari talk about?"

Before Javari was rescued, Mona would still call Luo An and Caroline 'father' in their presence, but after Javari was rescued, she always referred to him by his name, and Javari himself didn't mind it, so Luo An and Caroline didn't say anything.

"We talked about an old father's worries for his daughter, and an old father's mistrust of his daughter's boyfriend."

Luo An chuckled, set aside the lemon honey water, and then stretched his arm around Mona, guiding her to spread her arms wide like in Titanic to embrace the sea breeze.

Mona turned her head, first nibbling on Luo An's ear and then moved to his lips, the two of them kissing quietly under the sea breeze.

Half a day later, the cruise ship arrived in Southern France, Mrs. Hanover had been waiting at the port for a long time; a very drunk Javari disembarked and tapped cheeks with her, then gestured for Luo An, Mona, and Caroline to go ahead, as he had something to discuss with Mrs. Hanover.

Casting a glance at Javari, Mona and Caroline got into the car, and Luo An drove away from the port, heading straight to a five-star hotel that had been booked in advance.

In the following days, Caroline went back to Germany to sort out her piano business, while Luo An and Mona started traveling across various European countries, experiencing the unique local customs and cuisine.

As for the mole, after Javari returned to Europe, he started contacting people himself to handle it, and having built up years of connections, Javari successfully found the person and dealt with him.

A0 fortnight later, one morning, Luo An and Mona were lounging in a hotel in Norway, discussing whether to go skiing or to the hot springs today.

Just as they decided to settle it with rock-paper-scissors, their phones suddenly rang, pressing the answer button, Javari's voice came through.

"Good morning."

Javari chuckled on the other end of the phone, saying:

"Can you pause your trip for a few days? I have something I'd like to discuss with Mona."
