Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 221: Bush and Kennedy at the Banquet
Evening, Manhattan Midtown, Hilton Hotel.
Tonight, aside from the internal gathering of leaders from departments such as the FBI, according to Vireness, there was also a charity auction organized by local newspapers in some high-level venue of the hotel.
Thus, social elites and celebrities flocked to the scene tonight, luxury cars were everywhere, and Luo An's Chevrolet was inconspicuous.
Luo An wore a tailored black suit tonight, with a dark bow tie, his hair impeccably combed, looking very sharp, handsome, and dashing.
Vireness was dressed in a gray ladies' suit, her short hair neatly tied at the back of her head, a pair of black gemstone platinum earrings dangling low, the high-waisted suit showcased her slender and long thighs.
Together with the light makeup on her face, the mature charm that only a grown woman possesses was striking, making the paparazzi at the hotel entrance fix their eyes on Vireness when they saw her.
Although they didn't know which celebrity Vireness was, the flashlights still turned the front of the Hilton Hotel into daylight.
Ignoring the paparazzi, Vireness stretched out her hand to grasp Luo An, who wanted to maintain a certain distance from her, and directly hooked Luo An's arm, raising her head high as she took large steps into the hotel entrance.
By this time, many people had arrived at the banquet hall. Just as Vireness and Luo An walked in, Kobert, a former special agent supervisor from the Mediterranean, came over.
Accompanying him was a white female about forty years old, in a blue evening gown, brown long hair, and an imposing aura.
"Allow me to introduce!"
Grabbing a glass of wine from a waiter beside him, Kobert introduced with a smile:
"Let me introduce the newcomer attending the gathering for the first time, Deputy Group Leader Luo An Greenwood of the Fifth Investigation Group!"
Then Kobert pointed to the woman beside him:
"This is Dorothy Bush, the special agent supervisor of the FBI's Homeland Security Department."
"Pleasure to meet you, Supervisor. I am honored," Luo An greeted, raising his glass and smiling broadly, though something stirred within him.
The federal president in 2005 was a certain Bush, and this woman in front of him also had the surname Bush…
Dorothy Bush smiled widely and reached out to shake Luo An's hand:
"Deputy Group Leader Greenwood, I've heard so much about you; it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person."
Luo An was slightly startled, not because of what she said, but because this woman silently hooked her little finger in the palm of his hand while speaking.
Luo An: "…"
Before Luo An could speak, Vireness suddenly raised her glass and stepped between the two, saying expressionlessly:
"Long time no see, Dorothy."
"Long time no see, Vini."
Seeing Vireness's action, Dorothy acted as if nothing happened, let go of the handshake, then picked up her glass and clinked it with Vireness.
As the two raised their heads to drink, Luo An clearly saw Dorothy wink at him.
Regarding the actions of this woman surnamed Bush, Luo An pretended he saw nothing, seamlessly shifting his gaze to chat with Kobert.
Kobert's quick promotion to the Washington Headquarters owed a great deal to Luo An's performance in recent days.
So after a brief chat between them, Kobert returned the favor by greeting Vireness, then personally took Luo An around the gathering, introducing him to the heads of various departments attending the banquet.
Not only were there group leaders from other departments, but also special agent supervisors from other branches, and Kobert even took Luo An to meet the Deputy Director of the FBI New York Branch.
"Supervisor, this is our newly promoted Deputy Group Leader Luo An Greenwood."
"Nice to meet you, Greenwood."
Seeing Luo An introduced by Kobert, the Deputy Director's eyes lit up, reaching out to firmly clap Luo An on the shoulder:
"I know you, you've been performing exceptionally well recently!"
Feigning the expression of a young person praised by a senior, Luo An responded:
"Thank you for the compliment, Supervisor."
"No need to thank me!"
The Deputy Director waved his hand broadly, indicating he had always heard from others that Luo An was handsome, and today upon meeting, Luo An was even more handsome than he had imagined.
Before Luo An could speak, the deputy group leader once again introduced him with a smile to the identity of the middle-aged Caucasian who had just been conversing with them:
"This is Trick Kennedy, the Deputy Director of the Internal Threat Office from the FBI Washington Headquarters."
Kennedy!
Hearing this surname, Luo An's heart stirred slightly, though he kept his facial expression unchanged and smiled:
"Good to meet you, sir. It's an honor to meet you."
"Hello."

Trick Kennedy smiled and clinked glasses with Luo An. After a brief chat, he noticed Luo An's composed demeanor and well-measured speech and became intrigued. Thus, he asked:
"Kobert mentioned that since you joined Investigation Team Five, you've cracked quite a few cases. Could you briefly discuss a few?"
Luo An turned to look at the assistant director by his side.
The assistant director nodded with a smile.
Since the boss's boss had spoken, and also considering that Trick Kennedy was from within the FBI, Luo An thus pulled out a few cases that had already been thoroughly resolved and started describing them vividly.
Seeing both the assistant director and Trick Kennedy completely absorbed in the stories Luo An was telling, sometimes nodding continuously and sometimes laughing heartily, occasionally even patting Luo An on the shoulder, Dorothy, who was not far away, suddenly squinted her eyes. Then she whispered:
"Vini, how far have you and this Greenwood progressed?"
"Please call me Vireness, thank you."
Vireness took a sip from her glass and said:
"My relationship with Luo An Greenwood is purely that of a superior and a subordinate."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Hearing this, Dorothy turned back and chuckled softly:
"Greenwood is so handsome and capable, and you're just watching him? Aren't you afraid that other female superiors might lure him away?"
Vireness's expression did not change, as she simply replied:
"He is my man."
Dorothy was highly capable at work and even more unrestrained in her personal life, especially fond of handsome young men.
But such minor matters were not even considered trivial in the federal political circles, and Dorothy also knew what was more important, so Vireness merely emphasized that Luo An was her subordinate and then turned to leave the area.
Vireness was not worried about Luo An being lured away by Dorothy. According to her observations over this period, Luo An was fond of young, beautiful Caucasian girls.
And concerning Dorothy's age and figure... Vireness chuckled to herself. Even she couldn't compare, so how could Luo An possibly be interested in her?
Dorothy: "…"
Meanwhile, having listened to Luo An's description of several cases, Trick Kennedy drained his glass and then said with a smile:
"Indeed, the life of a field agent is more thrilling. I once thought about going to the grassroots level to solve cases, but... haha, I never did in the end."
Seeing this fellow, not even thirty-five years old, name-dropping his work in the Washington government, Luo An twitched his eyelid and started casually chatting with the two big shots without making a scene.
It wasn't long before Vireness also came over.
"Good evening, Trick."
"Good evening, Vini."
Standing to the side, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly, noticing that from the way she addressed him, Vireness was clearly quite familiar with Trick Kennedy.
After the greetings were exchanged, Vireness asked:
"What are you guys chatting about?"
"We're talking about the outstanding agent under your command."
Trick Kennedy chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, a sudden sensation as if his seat had caught fire struck Luo An's heart again.
Without hesitating, Luo An's mouth twitched, and he immediately pushed Trick, the deputy group leader, and Kobert forcefully under a nearby dining table. Then he grabbed Vireness and ducked under as well.
The next second, a deafening explosion erupted!
