Chapter 962 Underworld
American's westward expansion movement is, to put it bluntly, a territorial expansion movement. As a result, a large number of aboriginal Indians were massacred. One of the major races was reduced to a minority and almost extinct.
The Westward Expansion Movement occupies a very important part in the history of America and is the foundation of today’s America.
It can be said that without the original westward expansion movement, America would not be the country it is today.
This medal comes from the period of the Westward Expansion Movement, and was awarded to bounty hunters with outstanding merits. It can be seen that it contains the killing atmosphere and historical energy of that period.
When Chen Feng was thinking this, he heard Molly say: "This should be the bounty hunter medal of that period. It was awarded to those bounty hunters with outstanding achievements. There are not many bounty hunters who can win this honor. Historically, There are no detailed records, but there is no doubt that such medals are very rare in existence. You are so lucky to have received such a historic medal."
Chen Feng nodded and smiled: "Mine. Luck has always been bad Wrong."
Molly smiled when she heard this and said, "I like this medal very much. Can you give it to me?"
Chen Feng shook his head without thinking. Rejection: "Sorry, I like this badge very much too."
Molly did not give up, and then said, "I study history, and this medal has great historical value to me. I am willing to How about $1,000?”
Chen Feng shook his head and refused again.
Molly frowned slightly and asked, "How much will it cost you to sell it to me?"
Chen Feng shrugged and said, "It's not a question of money, I really like it. I have been carrying this badge with me since I bought it.”
Molly looked at Chen Feng’s expression carefully and saw that he didn’t look like he was lying. A little discouraged, but he still made a last effort and said: "I can offer up to 2,000 US dollars."
Seeing that she wanted it so much, Chen Feng thought about it and then said: "Well, I really have no plans to transfer it for the time being. , but that won’t be the case in the future. If I want to transfer in the future, I’ll contact you first, okay?”
"Okay, then you can add my Weite number and my contact number."
It seems that Molly is really interested in this medal and actively asked to exchange contact information with Chen Feng.
Chen Feng said that she did not have the prestige of Wei Te. As soon as the other party heard this, she said that she could increase her prestige. After adding prestige friends to each other, she took the initiative to exchange mobile phone numbers with Chen Feng.
This shows that she really wants this Bald Eagle Medal.
After holding it and looking at it for a while, she reluctantly gave it back to Chen Feng.
After finally getting back the Bald Eagle Medal, Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he roughly knew the origin of the medal, he would not easily show it to others in the future, so as not to attract people's attention again.
There is no doubt that this female backpacker Molly is thinking about getting his medal.
After this little episode, although Chen Feng and Molly were talking and laughing, they were obviously not as natural and comfortable as before.
Fortunately, we arrived in San Diego not long after. Driver White first dropped Molly at the door of a hotel. Molly said a cordial farewell to the two of them and got off the car.
Then Chen Feng successfully returned to the house he rented with Pei Lei and Zeng Jiao.
Pei Lei was very happy to see Chen Feng back. Of course, the happiest thing was that the results of her genetic test came out not long ago, and the situation was very optimistic.
According to the test results from the hospital here, the probability of her baby inheriting mental illness is low, and there are no genes for other serious hereditary diseases.
Of course, if you are willing to spend money, or if you want to be as foolproof as possible, you can gene-edit babies, so that deformities and some congenital genetic diseases can be eliminated as much as possible.
As for whether to have gene-edited babies, Pei Lei still has to discuss it with Qin Zhen.
It's just the time difference. It's early morning in China now, so we have to wait until they get there at night before contacting Qin Zhen.
When Chen Feng heard the news, he immediately congratulated her.
Pei Lei and Qin Zhen both want a child, but because her mother is mentally ill, and she was previously a patient with depression, they are afraid that the child will inherit her and her mother's mental illness when they are born, so Lots of worries.
After coming here for a genetic test, it seems that there is nothing wrong with her, but this kind of thing cannot be guaranteed 100%.
After all, even if both spouses have normal genes, they may give birth to a child with dementia. This is not 100% guaranteed.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Qin Zhen will also come here for a genetic test. If he has no problem, then there is a high probability that the baby created naturally by the two parties will not have any genetics. Psychotic.
These more specific matters will not be discussed until Pei Lei contacts Qin Zhen in the evening.
Even if Chen Feng and Qin Zhen are close friends, it is impossible for him to give any advice when it comes to this kind of thing, let alone help him make decisions.
He went upstairs to his room and took a shower. He came out of the bathroom and put on clean clothes. He picked up his phone and looked at it. There was a message from Molly asking him if he was free in the evening. She I want to treat him to dinner.
Chen Feng refused without thinking: [Sorry, I am not free tonight]
I thought that with his answer, the other party would give up.
But then Molly sent another message: [Then you should be free tomorrow, right? 】
Chen Feng frowned as soon as he saw it. He didn't think he was very charming and fascinated this female backpacker, so she took the initiative to contact him and wanted to date him.
So, why is she like this?
The only possibility that Chen Feng thought of was the Bald Eagle Medal in his hand.
Is there any secret to this Bald Eagle Medal? Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so persistent in approaching him.
【What's the reason for your date with me? 】
Chen Feng asked directly.
This time the other party did not reply immediately, but after almost a minute, he replied: [Okay, then I will tell you directly. It’s about your medal. I really like it. I’m willing to pay $5,000 to buy it now, is that okay? ]
Chen Feng asked directly: [Is there any secret in this medal? Otherwise, is it worth spending so much money? 】
【It is just a medal, and it is made of metal. What secrets can it have? Its main importance is historical value and commemorative significance. I study history and I want to collect it, it’s that simple. 】
[As I said before, I have no plans to resell it yet, so I’ll wait for a while. 】
【How long will it take? 】
After a little estimation, Chen Feng said: [Within a year]
Although this medal contains a lot of strange energy, if Chen Feng thinks about it, he will definitely be able to absorb it all within a year. When the time comes, he will resell the Bald Eagle Medal that has absorbed all the strange energy to her, and at a high price. Of course, he will not lose money, but he will also make a little money.
[Can it be done within a month? If you are willing to sell it to me for one month, I can offer you 10,000 yuan. 5,000 in two months. Maximum 3,000 for more than two months. 】
Molly knows how to play psychological tactics. If it were an ordinary person, Chen Feng would not know that this badge contains strange energy, and he would probably sell it to her quickly.
After all, when he bought it, he didn’t even get 50 US dollars, and it was sold for 10,000 US dollars after only one day. How could ordinary people not sell it?
But Chen Feng is an exception. Even if there is no special energy in this badge, he is not short of money. If he really likes this badge, he may not sell it even if the other party offers 10,000 yuan.
Not to mention that the other party was playing tricks on him, which made Chen Feng a little disgusted.
Therefore, Chen Feng counterattacked: [I said I can sell it to you within a year, but I don’t necessarily have to sell it to you, do you understand? Also, you mentioned a maximum price of $10,000, but I haven’t agreed yet. I think this medal is worth at least 100,000 US dollars]
When Chen Feng said this, Molly did not respond for a while.
Chen Feng saw this and didn't bother to care. They were just ordinary people who just met today, and they couldn't be considered friends.
Although it was pleasant to chat with each other along the way, it was impossible for Chen Feng to be led by the other party, let alone to let him part with the Bald Eagle Medal.
His relationship with her is only slightly better than that of a stranger.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not yet dinner time. Chen Feng didn't bother to go downstairs, so he just lay on the bed and checked his phone.
After the car entered San Diego, Chen Feng reported to Brina on WeChat that she was safe, but now he did not take the initiative to contact her again.
After all, he is not her boyfriend, and the two of them are not a couple, so there is no need to be inseparable.
Chen Feng unilaterally did not want to deepen his intimate relationship with her.
It would be good to be apart from each other for a while to let Brina's overzealous enthusiasm cool down.
After reading two chapters of the online novel I was reading, Molly called directly.
Chen Feng thought for a while and answered the call.
"Chen, I want to buy your badge very sincerely. If you are willing to sell it to me now, I am willing to pay $50,000. This is really my greatest sincerity and price. I hope you can It can be accomplished.”
When Chen Feng heard the other party’s solemn tone, he said Chen Feng had an indescribable feeling. After a moment of silence, he said: "I really don't want to sell now. At least, you have to wait for me for two months."
If it happens every day With enough absorption, Chen Feng believed that he should be able to drain the energy from the badge within two months.
And Molly was actually willing to pay $50,000. It seemed that she really cared about this medal. As long as he absorbed the energy inside, there was nothing wrong with selling it to her.
Molly was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "I will give you one month at most. If you sell it to me within one month, it will be $50,000. If it exceeds one month, I will It is impossible to give you such a price. And I can tell you clearly that you will still be in trouble."
When Chen Feng heard her last words, he immediately felt unhappy. He laughed and said, "Are you trying to coerce me? I'm really curious, what kind of trouble will there be if I don't sell you this badge?" ?”
Molly’s tone suddenly became cold and she said: “I can tell you, this thing in your hand The original owner of this medal was probably a legendary bounty hunter in history. He suddenly disappeared when he was in his forties. Of course, his descendants were also missing the medal that he carried with him. Now a big family has spawned and has a certain influence in America. They have been for generations It is your duty to find the traces of this legendary bounty hunter. If they know that you have his medal, do you think they will be in trouble?"
Chen Feng frowned and asked: "So, you haven't told the descendants of this legendary bounty hunter about this yet, have you?"
Molly said in a calm tone: "Yes, but I have to make a promise from you, that is, sell this medal to me within a month. Otherwise, I will not keep this matter secret for you, and I have no obligation to help you." You kept this secret, didn't you? This medal will only bring trouble in your hands. I didn't lie to you, nor did I mean to threaten you. I just told the truth."
"How do I know what you said. Are all of them true?" Chen Feng asked with a hint of disdain.
Molly was not angry, but her tone was still cold and matter-of-fact: "You don't have to believe me, but I believe you will only suffer in the end. I know you bought this at the flea market. A medal doesn't cost much, and now I'm willing to pay $50,000 to buy it. You have already made a lot, so you should be satisfied."
Chen Feng suddenly smiled, and then asked: "If what you said is true. of , then, I think you are one of the descendants of the so-called legendary bounty hunter, right?"
Molly suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she frankly admitted: "Okay, guess what? I am indeed one of his descendants. So, you should understand why I care so much about this medal? It is originally something from my ancestors and has a high commemorative significance for our family."
< br>
"Then I'm curious. Why didn't you tell me when you were in the car before? You also deliberately hid it from me just now. Why?"
"I don't want to show off, and I don't want you to sit on the ground. Starting price. If you want to listen to the truth, then I will tell you the truth. My full name is Molly Lampson. Most of our Lampson family live in New York. The Lampson family in New York. If you don’t listen I said, you can use grain Do a search. Our family’s history can be traced back to the time of Queen Victoria. Our ancestors immigrated to America from England more than two hundred years ago. Our first generation ancestor in America was a legendary bounty hunter. Holder Lampson, the medal in your hand belongs to him. It was a medal of honor awarded to him by the rulers of that year."
Chen Feng was a little dumbfounded when he heard her narration. . Not surprised by the other person's family history, but surprised by such a coincidence.
He just bought this badge yesterday, and today he actually met the descendant of the original owner of this badge. What a coincidence.
“Don’t you think this is my ancestor secretly guiding me, letting me meet you, and letting me find the Medal of Honor that he lost back then? So, you sold the badge to me, It's the most suitable. Our Lampson family must get back what belongs to our ancestors, and if you can sell it to me right away, you will win the friendship of our entire family."
After hearing what she said, Chen Feng couldn't help but said, "Let's do this. If what you said is true, I will try my best to return the badge to you within a month, free of charge."
When Molly heard that Chen Feng didn't want money, it was fifty thousand US dollars, not a small amount. Some people asked in surprise: "Why don't you want money? Also, why do you have to pay me back after one or two months? Can't you pay it back earlier?"
Chen Feng said: "If what you said is true Well, this badge originally belonged to your family, so I shouldn’t take it for myself. . As for why it takes a month or two to return it to you, it’s because I feel that I have a connection with this badge. After all, I just bought it yesterday and I have to keep it with me for a month or two.”
After being stunned for a while, Molly took a deep breath. Said: "Okay, I will give you a month at most. I will tell my family about this in one month. What they will do is beyond my control."
Chen Fengwen Yan couldn't help but frown again, feeling somewhat threatened by the other party.
But from her awesome coaxing just now, it seems that the Lampson family she belongs to must have some strength.
"Okay, I understand, let's just say this first."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly. Although Chen Feng didn't want to offend anyone, he also resented being threatened.
He immediately used Gugou to search for the Lampson family in New York. Many search results soon came out. He clicked on one and looked at it, and his eyes widened immediately.
The Lampson family is an old-money family that has been rich for several generations. It has accumulated enough wealth since more than a hundred years ago. Today, the family's assets are as high as 120 billion U.S. dollars, including There are several listed companies controlled by his family, and there are even more listed companies that he wants to take shares in.
This old money family started out in shipping and railway transportation a hundred years ago and accumulated huge wealth. Today, the family's main business is medical health care products and cosmetics, which brings tens of billions of dollars in business to their family every year. receive.
Chen Feng searched for Molly Lampson again, and he found it. There were some social photos she shared on the Internet, as well as photos of her graduation from New York University with a master's degree. Wearing a master's degree uniform and a bright smile, she was much younger than what he saw today, and her skin was much fairer. She was a beauty.
