Chapter 13

"Please explain to us, how did you get so much money in the box?" Grigory sat on a chair in the interrogation room in handcuffs, and the police on the opposite side were interrogating fiercely.

"We won it from the casino, what's the matter!" Grigory replied seriously.

"Ha! Can't you make up a more believable excuse?" The policeman didn't believe what he said.

"You can't do anything if you don't believe me. Where is my friend? I want to see him?" Grigory asked worriedly.

"Your friend has our people watching him. Maybe he has confessed now, and all the charges will fall on you alone." The policeman said threateningly. Just after finishing speaking, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and there was a mess of voices outside the door. The policeman in charge of the interrogation couldn't help frowning. He turned around and saw that it was his boss who came in. The boss waved at him and called him out.

"Let them go! Their suspicions are cleared!" the director said solemnly.

"Removed? Why?" The policeman in charge of the interrogation asked with a confused face.

"Hey! Jimmy, how long has it been since you watched newspapers and TV? Don't you know that they are the two super lucky ones who took 10 million dollars from the casino, and they are both Soviets. The embassy also called and asked us to release them immediately." After the director finished speaking, he handed Jimmy a newspaper, and Jimmy hurriedly read it seriously. The chief said to the policeman standing outside the interrogation room: "Go and let him go, the door is crowded with reporters now, be nice to that kid, and don't cause any trouble."

Another policeman hurried in and came back shortly to report: "Boss, that kid won't leave if he doesn't know his accomplices."

"What accomplices! Be careful! Don't let the reporters overhear!" The director reminded vigilantly.

"Yes, boss! That kid's companion is still in the hospital. Do you want to call your colleagues there and explain the situation?" After the policeman finished speaking, the director nodded, and he went to make a call. The director walked into the interrogation room, and said to Grigory with a pleasant smile, "Your companion is still in the hospital. We can take you there now. Do you want to go?"

Grigory rubbed his uncomfortable wrists from the handcuffs, and nodded. Standing up, a policeman quickly brought his coat, and soon a police car stopped in front of the police station, but because there were too many reporters at the gate, it couldn't drive in at all. The police returned to Grigory all the belongings that had been seized when he entered. Pointing to the four big boxes of money, the director asked, "Do you want to take it with you?" Grigory nodded. So the two policemen followed Grigory with the money and walked out of the office building of the police station.

The reporters outside the gate squeezed the gate tightly, and the policemen barely separated a narrow passage with their bodies. As soon as Grigory appeared, there was an uproar among the crowd, the flashing lights kept flickering, and countless microphones were directed at Grigory.

"Mr. Perelman, can you reveal how you have earned so much money?"

"Mr. Perelman, what's your secret to victory?"

...

Grigory did not respond at all. He got into the police car. The police put the money in the trunk of the police car, and then the police car went straight to the hospital. At this time, in the hospital, the guarding police had just received the news, and their attitude changed 180 degrees. The handcuffs on Seryozha's hands have been removed, and some of his personal belongings are being delivered by his colleagues. At this moment, Eva's heart was finally relieved, and the two of them could finally continue their relationship in the room with peace of mind.

Although Sergey didn't ask, Eva still told Sergey her true identity. It turned out that Eva's family was also a Russian immigrant who had just immigrated to the United States. The smart Eva quickly passed the exam. Harvard Medical School, but because the medical school does not provide scholarships, Eva had to find a way to raise expensive tuition fees for herself. At this time,

A peripheral organization of the CIA approached her, and they promised to provide Eva with a scholarship on the condition that Eva would sneak into the Soviet army as a spy, and the desperate Eva could only agree to this condition. After Eva completed this task, she finally didn't have to worry about tuition fees anymore, so she left the CIA and returned to campus to continue her studies.

"I didn't know that you came to the United States and made such a huge amount of money from the casino! You are amazing." Eva said lying on Sergei's chest.

"It's not that I'm good, it's that Grigory is good. He's such a genius! I'll introduce him to you when I get the chance!" Seryosha couldn't help but praise Grigory. The door was pushed open, and it was Grigory who rushed in. Eva stood up quickly. She didn't want to be seen flirting with the patient by the hospital.

"Seryozha, are you okay!" Grigory asked out of breath, and Seryozha sat up and gave a thumbs up to show that he was really good. Only then did Grigory feel relieved.

Startled, Eva hurriedly turned around and left the room, not forgetting to make a face when she went out. Grigory sat by Seryozha's bed, but before he could speak, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Please come in!" Seryozha promised, the door was opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes with the Soviet national emblem on his chest walked in, followed by a young man wearing glasses. The two closed their hands and introduced themselves in Russian: "Hello, we are the staff of the Soviet Consulate General in New York. I am sorry that we are late. Comrade Ulyanov, please allow us to convey the Consul General's greetings to you." Greetings! We have already made representations with the US government as soon as you were arrested..."

Seryozha waited quietly for them to finish speaking, and then replied: "Thank you for your help!"

"We hope to arrange a TV interview for you and your companions. As you know, your affairs have caused a lot of trouble recently, and many Americans are interested in you. This is a good opportunity to promote our country..." the consulate said The staff finally explained their true intentions. After a moment's consideration, Seryozha agreed. After they left, Seryozha pressed the beeper again, and Eva rushed over quickly.

"I think I'm almost fine. I want to ask if I can be discharged from the hospital, doctor?" Seryozha asked with a smirk.

"Discharged? Where are you going?" Eva asked in surprise.

"How about going to where you live!" Seryozha asked directly, and Grigory turned around and looked at Eva in surprise. (To be continued.)
