Chapter 865 Regret before death(1/2)

"At least $2.7 million?!"

In the empty library, Wei Ran waited for Suisui to finish the translation, and finally showed a look of surprise that he had endured for a long time, and then said, "Quickly ask, what is going on?"

Without even waiting for Suisui to translate, lawyer Carlos took the initiative to explain, "This matter specifically dates back to World War II. My client was a child who participated in the Siegfried Line reconstruction project."

"Wait a moment"

After Suisui helped translate this sentence, she asked Wei Ran in confusion, "I shouldn't have translated it wrong, but how could it be a child?" "It's normal. There was no one in Germany who could use it at that time."

Wei Ran took a sip of the coffee brought by Lola and explained, "The Siegfried Line corresponds to the Maginot Line. Before 1944, because the Maginot Line became a joke, the Germans built this line

The Siegfried Line has also become dispensable.”

This time, before Suisui could speak, Anfisa took the initiative to act as the translator and helped translate Wei Ran's explanation to lawyer Carlos, and Suisui naturally became the audience with Sui Xin and Lola.

In contrast, Korava, who was shopping in the library on a children's tricycle, and Beria, the dog following her, were not affected at all.

Waiting patiently for Anfisa to finish translating, Wei Ran continued, "But after 1944, the situation began to become a little different. As the Allies opened up new battlefields, the position of the Siegfried Line became increasingly

important.

So in August 1944, Mustache issued an order to transform this defense line. However, due to the shortage of manpower, the people who were eventually sent here were some children aged sixteen, seventeen or even younger, and those near the Siegfried Line.

Old people and even women in villages and towns.

However, the main job of these people was to dig anti-tank trenches, so they were considered competent. However, as the war progressed, this line of defense eventually lost its effectiveness under the bombing of the Allied forces, especially the Shalome.

"

After listening to Anfisa's translation, Carlos nodded, "The situation is basically the same as what my client said. He was a child sent by the German Labor Organization to dig anti-tank trenches on the Siegfried Line.

At that time, his uncle was also sent to the Siegfried Line. But at home behind them, he also had his parents, a younger brother, and his uncle's daughter."

Carlos paused and waited patiently for Anfisa to finish translating before continuing, "In February of 1945, he and his uncle, like other soldiers who had run out of ammunition and food, chose to leave the Hürtgen Forest to go to the United States.

People surrender."

"Hürtgen Forest?"

Wei Ran's heart trembled, and he waited calmly for Anfisa to finish translating, and then asked, "

Mr. Carlos, your client said that he and his uncle surrendered after walking out of the Hürtgen Forest?"

"That's true. What's wrong?" Carlos asked in confusion after listening to the translation.

"Nothing, please continue talking." After Wei Ran finished speaking, he picked up the coffee and took a sip.

The Hürtgen Forest is an absolute nightmare for American soldiers. The client Carlos talked about was able to survive until the end. It was really lucky.

"Anyway, my client and his uncle were both sent to the Rhine Camp after they surrendered." Carlos spread his hands, "Unfortunately, they were not in the same camp."

"So your client is looking for his uncle?" Suisui asked subconsciously in English.

"of course not"

Carlos shook his head, "According to my client's self-report, he lived in the Rhine Camp for about four months before being released, but from then until today, he has never seen him again.

His uncle. As for the person he is looking for, it is actually his younger brother and his uncle’s daughter.”

Still leaving enough time for Anfisa to translate, Carlos continued, "According to my client's statement, after he walked out of the Rhine Camp alive, he immediately rushed to his home, but his home had long since changed.

became ruins.

According to the information he asked at the time, his parents, he

His brother and his uncle’s daughter were taken away by American soldiers.”

"Mr. Carlos"

Wei Ran waited for Anfisa to finish translating and asked, "Did your client mention where his home was at that time and what his parents' occupations were?"

"mentioned"

Carlos nodded, also took a sip of coffee, and then replied, "My client said that at that time, his home was in the Ruhr Industrial Area. His father was a mechanical engineer and his mother was a cashier in the factory.

.”

Seeing that Wei Ran was deep in thought after listening to the translation, Carlos paused and continued, "My client suspected that his family had been taken to the United States at that time, so around 1950, he tried to find a way to smuggle there.

came to the United States and obtained American citizenship.

But it is a pity that until today, although he has never given up looking for his family, there has been no news."

"What about the will?" Suisui asked helpfully.

"He is over ninety years old and has never had a family." Carlos explained, "Now he has lost the ability to take care of himself, so he hopes to find his brother or his cousin before he dies. If

If they are gone, it’s okay to find their descendants to inherit his legacy.”

As if the temptation was not strong enough, Carlos explained with a smile, "His inheritance includes a gold mine stake in Alaska, a farm of more than 500 acres in Ontario, Massachusetts, and a 20-acre farm in Hawaii.

Acre-sized plantation.

In addition to these real estate properties, he also has tens of millions of dollars in deposits in his account, as well as equity and bonds of almost the same value."

Still leaving enough time for Anfisa to translate, Carlos continued when Wei Ran didn't speak, "According to the terms set by my client, before he dies, if anyone can find his brother

Or any descendant of the cousin can get a bounty of at least 2.7 million U.S. dollars, and that is 2.7 million U.S. dollars after paying taxes.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you can find the descendants of his brother and his sister, not only can you get an after-tax bounty of 6 million U.S. dollars, but you can also win by throwing dice.

Randomly get a farm in Ontario or a plantation in Hawaii."

"This is a lot of money," Suisui exclaimed first. "It is indeed a lot of money."

Wei Ran also sighed after waiting for Anfisa to finish translating. If he could find them all, the reward would be worth at least 6 million US dollars... This temptation is really too great.

"If no heir is found before he dies, all of his wealth will be donated to black people with criminal records in the United States." Carlos added with a strange expression, "Five thousand dollars each, until all donations are made.

"

"Is this revenge?"

Suisui first guessed that everyone is not stupid, even black people, and they specifically ask black people with criminal records. This is clearly to deceive black people in the United States to commit crimes in order to receive 5,000 US dollars!

"In fact, it is indeed revenge against the United States." Carlos spread his hands, "Of course, in name it is to eliminate racial discrimination."

"I'm more curious, how did your client get his current net worth?" Wei Ran asked after Anfisa finished translating.

"According to him, his first pot of gold was a lottery ticket he picked up at the door of a store on Christmas Day, the fifteenth year after he immigrated to the United States."

Carlos said with envy, "The lottery ticket he picked up bought him an after-tax bonus of US$270,000 in 1965, and it also allowed him to finally get rid of his job as a bartender in a bar."

"You're so lucky," Suisui couldn't help but sigh.

"He's really lucky"

Carlos said with emotion, "After receiving the money, he immediately changed cities and continued to work while looking for his family. During the period from 1965 to 1970, he also spent 100,000

US dollars, invested in a German-American who was going to Alaska to mine gold.

I believe you all know that I don’t need to tell you that he won the bet again. Although the gold mine was not big, it made him rich easily.

The amount increased dozens of times. Since then, he has been doing gold mining investment business."

Wei Ran thought for a while while Anfisa was translating, and then asked another irrelevant question, "You just said that he didn't start a family?"

"Yes"

Carlos spread his hands and looked at the curious girls around him with a strange expression. Finally, he subconsciously lowered his voice slightly and explained with an embarrassment, "Fate is fair. Although he has so much wealth,

He does not appear to be fertile."

"What does it mean to be infertile?"

Facing the translated question from Anfisa, who looked normal, the white-haired Carlos scratched his sparse white hair in distress, and explained with a slight embarrassment, "I once heard his personal doctor say that he seemed.

..It seems there are no balls.”

"puff--!"

Before Carlos finished speaking, Suisui spit out the coffee in her mouth, and even Wei Ran, who had been pretending not to understand English, almost spilled the beans.

After Anfisa finished translating with a calm expression, Wei Ran finally grinned, "Can I continue to ask?"

"I don't know the reason either."

Carlos once again seemed to have guessed what Wei Ran wanted to ask, so he spread his hands before Anfisa could speak, "The missing egg has nothing to do with the bounty of at least 2.7 million US dollars, what about Victor? If you have

If you're interested, try it. It's best to get ready and go with me as soon as possible. This client of mine may die soon."

"Where to go?" Wei Ran gestured to Anfisa and asked the last question.

"Honolulu, Hawaii"

Carlos replied simply, "He has been recuperating there for a long time. If you have more time, we can take his private plane and meet him at any time."

"And a private plane?" Suisui's eyes widened.

"As I said, this client of mine is a real rich man." After Carlos finished speaking, he picked up the coffee cup and waited patiently for Anfisa to finish translating. Then he put down the cup and asked, "Victor, what do you want?

Want to try it?」

"I have no reason to refuse"
