CHAPTER 615: CHAPTER 615: LUO AN WHO TREATS HUMAN LIVES AS WORTHLESS

FBI Washington Headquarters, investigation group 13 office area, break room.

Reesi’s scream was loud, startling Luo An and Mona.

Hearing the word "news," Mona’s eyebrows instantly raised, she let go of Luo An and quickly left the room, asking:

"Reesi, what’s going on? Is it related to that female reporter Louise?"

Luo An never talked to Mona about the specific conversation he had with Louise in the conference room, but Mona just found Louise very unpleasant.

Don’t ask; it’s a woman’s intuition.

Hearing Reesi mention that Luo An was in the news, Mona’s first thought was that woman Louise causing trouble.

Luo An also frowned slightly, picked up his coffee cup, and followed Mona out of the break room.

"Female reporter Louise?"

In the office area, Reesi paused upon hearing Mona’s words, then quickly shook her head saying:

"It’s not her, it has nothing to do with her, the news about Luo An is from another media."

Saying this, Reesi handed the newspaper to Mona; Mona looked down and saw at the center of the newspaper a photo with an article below it, whose headline read:

[FBI investigative team leader Luo An Greenwood, indifferent to right and wrong, a disregard for human life!]

Looking closely at the article, the content was mainly related to Aubrey Cran.

Since the serial killer targeting street workers, Aden Cran was arrested by Luo An and others, his wife, Aubrey Cran, and his two daughters’ reputation immediately became very embarrassing.

In federal situations, there are school discrimination, school violence, community discrimination, and community violence.

Publicly and privately marginalized, Aubrey Cran and her two daughters were forced to move away from that upscale community.

On the other hand, due to Aden Cran’s identity as a serial killer, the real estate company he worked for not only maliciously bought out the shares held by Aden Cran but also sued Aubrey Cran.

They demanded she, as Aden Cran’s wife, to compensate for the substantial reputation loss to the real estate company.

Aubrey Cran was extremely angry and had to start arguing with the real estate company with lawyers. Meanwhile, she had her two daughters seek out the victims’ families for comforting compensation.

The purpose was to hope that the victims’ families could express forgiveness for Aden Cran in court in the future, so his sentence could be less severe.

The two daughters, reluctantly, still followed their mother’s orders, carrying gifts and funds to visit those victims’ relatives.

Most of those victims’ relatives, due to the nature of the victims’ past jobs and their general indifference, accepted the gifts and funds and were soon convinced by the two daughters.

However, their visit failed when they met a friend of a victim named Lan Rui Sha.

Lan Rui Sha was a special case; she was very close to an old woman who died of liver cancer and worked in the community center.

Although Lan Rui Sha worked as a street worker at night to earn money, she volunteered at the community center during the day. Many defended her after her death, thus, the daughters were driven out by these people.

The area of that community was rather biased and chaotic, the two daughters were beautiful and dressed flamboyantly, and since they had lived in affluent areas before, they had no experience on how to navigate chaotic areas. So, inadvertently, the duo was kidnapped by ill-intentioned individuals for over half an hour.

Subsequently, the NYPD rescued the two daughters, and those ill-intentioned individuals were successfully apprehended by the NYPD, but that half hour had become an unforgettable nightmare for the two daughters.

Unsurprisingly furious upon seeing her two tormented daughters in the hospital, Aubrey Cran not only sued those ill-intentioned individuals but also sued the friends of Lan Rui Sha and even planned to sue Luo An.

The reason being, if Luo An hadn’t arrested Aden Cran, his wife Aubrey Cran wouldn’t have sent her daughters to that "disgusting area."

Had they not gone there, the daughters wouldn’t have been driven out by Lan Rui Sha’s friends and wouldn’t have encountered those horrifying events.

So, after all, it all boils down to the FBI investigative team leader, Luo An Greenwood; he is the root of all evil.

After reading Aubrey Cran’s tearful accusations in the newspaper, the office area of the Thirteenth Investigation Team fell silent, Winslow and Cheniel were completely taken aback, Reesi and Michelle looked at each other in disbelief, and Mona opened her mouth several times but didn’t know what to say.

Luo An held the newspaper with a confused look, not understanding Aubrey Cran’s line of thought.

"Luo An, what are you going to do?"

After a long silence, Cheniel put down the newspaper and asked:

"Aubrey Cran is demanding that you compensate her and her two daughters a total of 5 million US dollars for emotional damages."

Mona threw the newspaper aside with a cold snort and said:

"I suspect that targeting Luo An for this money is Aubrey Cran’s true motive."

"It’s quite normal, Aubrey Cran herself doesn’t have much money, and most of the funds owned by Aden Crane are tied up in the real estate company, and since Aden Crane went to jail, that company is all bad debt."

Michelle neatly folded the newspaper and put it back on the table, saying:

"This means that although Aubrey Cran still looks glamorous, she might already be on the verge of bankruptcy."

Winslow and Reesi nodded in agreement, and Mona turned her gaze:

"Luo An?"

"I sympathize with the plight of those two daughters, but in this serial murder case, all my actions were in compliance with federal law, with no illegal operations."

Luo An chuckled, folded the newspaper neatly and handed it back to Michelle, saying:

"So, there’s no way I’m paying."

Reesi’s eyes flickered, adding:

"Aubrey Cran disparaging you in the newspaper has infringed on your right to reputation.

Luo An, not only can you refute her, but you can also ask a lawyer to demand emotional damages from her!"

As Reesi finished speaking, Winslow suddenly looked at her in astonishment, with Chenier, Mona, and Michelle extremely shocked.

Luo An smacked his lips and patted Reesi on the shoulder:

"Indeed, you understand me best."

Mona immediately frowned:

"Luo An, you..."

"One thing at a time, Mona."

Luo An waved his hand, pulled out his phone ready to call his lawyer, and explained:

"I do sympathize with the girls’ plight, but that doesn’t give Aubrey Cran the right to slander me in the newspaper.

I won’t be demanding millions in high compensation from Aubrey Cran, but a stand must be taken, otherwise in the future, more people will brazenly smear me.

The first time nobody cares, it might even be seen as a joke.

But the second time, the third time, or even the fourth time, the lies gradually seep into people’s hearts, and eventually, someone will believe them.

By then, it’d be too late to explain."

After hearing Luo An’s explanation, everyone present became very serious, and Mona said no more, even helping Luo An pull up Aubrey Cran’s contact information.

This matter wasn’t too big or too small; Luo An didn’t have the time or need to handle it personally, so he handed it all over to the lawyer to deal with.

That night, in the villa Caroline had left, Luo An and Mona indulged for over two hours.

After the fun ended, Mona was too exhausted to fall asleep, and Luo An got up and went to the bathroom, washing up while starting to check the system page.
