Lost and Spy

Chapter 2357 Mayor's Banquet
Las Vegas.

Here, it is completely different from the bustling, luxurious, and lingering gold-selling cave in Meng Shaoyuan's imagination.

Today's Las Vegas is still a small city that Americans regard as a place of bitter cold.

Desolate and backward.

Nobody wants to invest here.

Except for two people who are optimistic about the prospects here.

One is Meng Shaoyuan.

And there's Siegel from the Mafia.

Although he is a competitor, Meng Shaoyuan has to admire Siegel's vision.

Although there are legal regulations, the carriage as a means of transportation has been completely eliminated.

Riding in the car, looking out, you can see the dilapidatedness everywhere.

A place where birds don't shit and chickens don't lay eggs.

City of Las Vegas Municipal Government.

Mayor Gremont brought almost all the important officials to welcome Charles Meng and Mr. Doncos.

You know, before Meng Shaoyuan, almost no one wanted to invest in Las Vegas.

There is only one Siegel.

But for God's sake, he's a gang member.

They don't want to have too much involvement with this guy.

You know, these officials, everyone wants to make Las Vegas different.

They always dream there that here will be as prosperous as New York.

It's just a dream.

Now, the real investors have arrived.

They didn't know who Charles was.

But Mr. Doncos's name was one that most of them had heard.

This is a well-known financier in New York, a real gentleman of the upper class.

It was the greatest honor in Las Vegas to have him in this small place.

Mayor Gremont gave them a warm welcome.

Among these people, Meng Shaoyuan saw Judith Carrot and the expressionless man beside her.

"Charles."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Judith walked up to Meng Shaoyuan and hugged him gently: "Welcome to Las Vegas."

Mayor Gremond and those officials were a little dazed.

Judith was from the Baker family.

How could she be so affectionate to Charles?
"Let me introduce you." Judith pointed to the man beside her and said, "My husband, Felton Carrot."

"Mr. Carlot, it is an honor to meet you."

"Mr. Charles, welcome to invest in Las Vegas."

As the chief reviewer of the Nevada Gaming Commission, Felton has a serious look at all times:

"I am sure that the mayor of Gremond and the officials of the city government will provide you with all necessary assistance."

"Yes, we will."

Mayor Gramond replied without hesitation.

Being so close to the Carlot family made the mayor make up his mind to hold the big tree of Charles tightly.

What follows is the boring welcome ceremony.

Listening to the speeches of those officials, Meng Shaoyuan fell asleep.

But he had to look happy.

After finally getting through to the end, it was just a cookie-cutter reception.

The mayor of Gremont and officials of the city government came to toast in turn.

Meng Shaoyuan, Dunkos, and the Carlot couple are all the ones they need to please.

After dealing with one round after another, Meng Shaoyuan finally found a chance to think alone with the Carlots.

Felton Carrot looked serious at all times.

"Honey, this is a friend of the Baker family." Judith knew her husband too well: "This is not an audit committee, and Charles is not the one you need to audit."

Only then did Felton force a smile.

"Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Carlot." Meng Shaoyuan knew the virtues of these officials and didn't take them too seriously: "Trust me, I will contribute to the prosperity of Las Vegas."

This is a beautiful scene.

Felton also said something perfunctorily.

"Charles, my husband is having some trouble right now."

Judith suddenly said, "We need someone who can help my husband with his problems."

trouble?

What trouble?
Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.

This is a real power figure.

Moreover, the relationship between the Baker family and Hoover is very good. What kind of troubles cannot be handled by the FBI?
"Mr. Carlot, Mrs. Carlot, please explain in detail." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly, "Maybe I can help you solve it."

Felton hesitated for a moment: "There is a woman who took some important things from me, and I need to get them back."

Ok?
Before Meng Shaoyuan could react, Judith gave her husband a hard look, and then said in a low voice, "Charles, the things in that cousin's hand are enough to harm my husband's future.

But she's hiding now, and we have to find her, and what she's holding, as soon as possible. "

Although what he said was very vague, Meng Shaoyuan still roughly guessed what was going on.

That woman should be Felton's mistress.

She stole important evidence enough to threaten Felton's career, and then blackmailed Felton.

Yes, Felton could turn to the FBI.

But the evidence is probably too important to fall into the hands of the FBI.

Will Hoover protect him?
Not good.

However, this will definitely become a handle that Hoover uses to blackmail the Carrot family, and even the Baker family!

So, they had to turn to the field for help.

a foreigner.

"My wife told me that you are from the intelligence department." Felton said with some difficulty: "You may have a way, Charles."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't answer right away: "Can you explain in more detail?"

"Yes, Charles." Felton took a breath: "Her name is Polly. She used to be my assistant. She knows a lot about me. Some time ago, she asked me to borrow a lot of money. I refused. up.

This damn woman sneaked into my office at night and stole several important documents. "

Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him: "Aren't these documents in the safe?"

"It's in a safe, but Polly knew the combination to the safe at some point, and even secretly assigned the key."

Felton smiled bitterly: "I promise, I never thought she would do such a terrible thing."

"You have told this cousin everything, and you will be in this cousin's hands."

Judith lost her own elegance: "In your eyes, only her youth and beauty, you will not only destroy yourself, but also implicate the Baker family."

Having said that, he seems to feel that he shouldn't lose his composure in front of Charles:
"Charles, we need to find this woman as soon as possible. I know that even in the United States, you have many friends. Can you help us?"

"Of course, Mrs. Carlot." Meng Shaoyuan didn't think too much about it: "However, before that, I need all the information about Polly, everything!"
