Chapter 866 Confidential Investigation and Oil Paintings Hidden Secrets(1/2)

Falling into the quiet ward, the elderly Dominic stretched out his hand towards the sofa against the wall and said feebly, "Sit down and chat, young man, what do you want to ask?"

"first question"

Wei Ran sat on the sofa and waited patiently for the other party to control the electric wheelchair to face him, and then continued, "Mr. Dominic, why are you so sure? Your family, or to be more precise, you

Your parents brought your younger brother and cousin to the United States?”

"anymore question?"

Dominic asked slowly, "My memory is pretty good, so let's ask them together. After all, you only have ten minutes, but my answer is not within these ten minutes."

Hearing this, Wei Ran smiled and continued the question and answer unhurriedly, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Dominic. Second question, you really made your fortune with a lottery ticket that was redeemed for a bounty of US$270,000.

Of?」

"If you still have questions, just keep asking," Dominic said again, "Don't let me rush you."

"The third question, can you tell us about your combat experience in the Hürtgen Forest? Of course, what were the combat missions of you and your uncle at that time."

After a pause, Wei Ran continued, "The fourth question is, after the war ended, no, to be more precise, after you and your uncle surrendered and walked out of the Hürtgen Forest, did you still meet?"

"One last question"

Wei Ran paused for a longer time this time, until the other party couldn't help but urge him, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Dominic, why didn't you mention looking for your uncle?

"Is this all there is?" Dominic's old eyes finally showed a hint of surprise. "These are the only questions at the moment."

Wei Ran smiled and said, "Of course, it would be best if you could provide some relics of you or your uncle, as well as your parents and family members. Maybe I can find some clues and ideas.

"I believe what Carlos said now, maybe you can really help me find my family.

Dominic muttered something incoherently, and then asked with a smile, "Tell me your guess?" "You and your uncle should have been in contact after the war, right?"

Wei Ran stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, "Let's make a bold guess. Did the $270,000 also come from a gift from your uncle? Of course, the reason why you are so sure that your family members are all in the United States is probably also your uncle.

Did I tell you?"

"Why such a guess?" Dominic asked in a calm tone.

"For a minor to come out of the Hürtgen Forest alive and choose to surrender can be said to be a fluke, and to come out of the Rhine Camp alive may be equally lucky.

When Wei Ran said this, he turned around and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the old man who was also steering the wheelchair and turned to face him. "But even if he had such luck, in the fifth year after the war, he wanted to return from West Germany."

Immigrating to the United States is definitely not an easy task. At least in this matter, there is definitely someone to help you.

"What else?" Dominic asked, an undisguised smile already appearing on his old face.

"Since someone helped this young man immigrate to the United States, and he accidentally became a billionaire while searching for his family all his life, but he did not find his uncle who once fought alongside him."

Wei Ran smiled, and finally asked the obvious conclusion with a firm tone, "Mr. Dominic, your uncle survived at that time, and it was he who helped you immigrate to the United States from West Germany. It was he who secretly worked with you to find your family.

, even the 270,000 US dollars you exchanged for lottery tickets, and even your gold mining business, there is his shadow in these things, right?"

"Carlos finally found me a smart guy."

The elderly Dominic first tactfully confirmed Wei Ran's guess with a sigh, and then explained, "You guessed almost all the answers to the questions you asked correctly, but for some reasons, I can't answer the questions you just asked.

Any questions. So, young man, are you still willing to help me find my family now?"

"Of course, it's my honor."

Wei Ran smiled and replied that although the other party was obviously hiding something, considering the high cost of the investigation, he didn't mind these trivial things at all.

"In that case, take this."

As Dominic spoke, he tremblingly took out a shiny key from his pocket, raised his arm with difficulty, and handed it to Wei Ran.

"What is this?" Wei Ran asked in confusion.

"The key to my coffee plantation in Hawaii"

Dominic said slowly, "I will ask Carlos to send you there later, and you can live there. The relics left by my uncle are all in the collection room. In addition, the content of the conversation just now, as well as the things in the collection room

, I don’t want the third person to know."

"Of course, please rest assured, I still have professional ethics." Weiran assured as he put away the key.

"Okay, the ten minutes are up, I'm going to take a rest.

As Dominic spoke, he maneuvered the electric wheelchair to the floor-to-ceiling window again, looked at the coastline at the end of his sight and said, "Before I die, if you can give me a satisfactory result, I will also give you a satisfactory reward.

"

"If I need to go somewhere during this period, can I use your private jet?" Wei Ran asked before getting up and leaving.

"Just go to Carlos for such a small matter."

Dominic took a deep breath, and then continued, "Okay, you can leave, and let Carlos in for a moment.



"Goodbye, Mr. Dominic." As Wei Ran spoke, he had already walked out of the high-end ward.

"How is it going?"

Before he could close the door, lawyer Carlos, who was sitting on the lounge chair outside, stood up and asked in German.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Dominic, please go in," Wei Ran said with a smile, "I will go downstairs and wait for you."

"See you soon." After Carlos said this, he immediately walked to the door of the ward, knocked gently on the door, and waited for a second or two before opening the ajar door and walking in.

Waiting until the other party closed the door from the inside, Wei Ran turned around and went downstairs, joining Suisui and others who were still waiting in the business car.

"How's the situation?" Suisui asked with a yawn.

After pinching the key in his pocket, Wei Ran responded with a smile, "We just chatted for a few words and the rest will wait until Mr. Carlos comes back."

"We have already planned where to go these days... Oh no! I mean inspection, yes, inspection!" As Suisui spoke, she had already taken the tablet from Anfisa's hand, full of expectations.

Said, "We plan to visit all the islands in Hawaii!"

"You won't take me with you?" Wei Ran asked deliberately jokingly.

"Make money well!" Suisui raised her chin matter-of-factly, "At least 2.7 million U.S. dollars! If you make this sum, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, Wei Ran shook his head secretly. He didn't think the money was so easy to earn. Now he could only hope to find something in the plantation he was about to go to later.

But contrary to their expectations, it took almost half an hour before lawyer Carlos came down from upstairs.

Not only that, after the old lawyer got into the car, he handed an agreement to Weiran and explained in German, "This is an employment agreement. Mr. Dominic hopes that you will sign it before signing it."

Start investigating."

After a pause, Carlos added with an embarrassed look, "He also said that if you refuse to sign this agreement, just have fun in Hawaii for a few days. If you have enough fun, I will send you back to Kazan, and you will also be given extra

I’ll give you $50,000 for your hard work.”

"How generous"

Wei Ran mumbled as he took the agreement and glanced at it, only to find that it was a completely handwritten employment agreement in German.

In this brief agreement, it not only listed the remuneration that Weiyan may receive as well as the method and time limit for receiving the remuneration, but also listed an additional requirement: regardless of

Whatever the outcome of the investigation is, the investigation process and results will be kept completely confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone except the employer.

Cross even specially translated this message in English to Suisui, who was watching the fun. Even without the temptation of the $2.7 million, Suisui immediately took back the pen handed over by Carlos when Wei Ran took it.

got a curious look.

"Victor, please allow me to remind you."

Lawyer Carlos stretched out his hand to stop Wei Ran who was about to sign, "In addition to being Dominic's personal lawyer, I am also a notorious American lawyer. If you violate this agreement, even if Mr. Dominic passes away, I will

I will initiate a lawsuit against you as agreed. Believe me, you may lose everything due to breach of contract."

"As long as you don't set a trap on this employment agreement, I will not breach the contract." Wei Ran confidently made a promise.

Of course, Carlos didn't know that Wei Ran was more confident than just keeping secrets. He was even more confident that he would never be able to keep this notorious lawyer from speaking out - even if it was the last resort.

"I can swear by the friendship between Mr. Chen Qi and my father." Carlos solemnly raised three fingers, "This employment agreement..."

"Forget it if you swear."

Wei Ran stopped the other party's move to swear, picked up a pen and signed the name Victor in Russian in the lower right corner of the agreement, and then wrote down the date.

At the same time, Anfisa, who was sitting behind him, had already raised his mobile phone and took a discreet photo of the contents of the agreement and Wei Ran who was signing.

As for whether the name "Victor" written by Weiran in Russian had any legal effect, it was obvious that everyone in the car subconsciously chose to ignore it for some reason.

They each put away the two copies of the agreement, and Carlos immediately snapped his fingers at the driver and said "Go to the plantation" in English.

After receiving the signal, the taciturn middle-aged driver immediately stepped on the accelerator slowly and steered the commercial vehicle away from the medical center.

However, this time the drive was far longer than expected. The commercial vehicle took more than an hour to drive from the easternmost side of the island to the west, and was about to reach the end of the island.

When heading west, we drove along a road to the mountains outside the city, and finally stopped in a mountainside plantation where we could clearly see the coastline.

"This is it"

Carlos was the first to get out of the carriage. He pointed to the only house in the distance and introduced it in English. Then he specially changed to German and introduced it again to Wei Ran, "It's only 10 acres here, and everything is planted."

The coffee is not sold to the outside world. It is basically enjoyed by Mr. Dominic himself and given as gifts to friends. Of course, all the coffee I often drink comes from here.”

"Did Mr. Dominic live here before?"

Wei Ran asked as he followed the other party towards the house in the center of the plantation, while the other three girls, and even the three pets who jumped out of the car, were curiously looking at everything around them.

Although this plantation only grows coffee in name, it is very beautifully maintained. In addition to coffee, there are various tropical and subtropical plants and flowers growing everywhere you look, even about a hundred meters away from the house.

Meters away, there is a helipad, and there is a Squirrel helicopter parked quietly on the helipad.

"In the past, Mr. Dominic would come here to spend the winter every winter and lived in Houston the rest of the time."

Carlos explained, "But two months ago, he was sent to the medical center we just visited due to physical reasons, and since then he has never been able to leave that ward."
