Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 50: Potion
After confirming that Luo An had no intention of making another move, Lydia let out a sigh of relief and continued to explain the ins and outs of the entire incident.
After identifying 'Jacques,' the NSA immediately sent people to ask the CIA, wanting to know what exactly happened during the failed operation, what the relationship with Mona's father was, what Jacques's next moves might be, and whether there would be any threat to high-level government officials...
"Hold on, Lydia."
Hearing this, Luo An raised his hand to interrupt Lydia's account and asked sternly:
"What does this have to do with Mona? And what does it have to do with me?"
Lydia, a bit annoyed at being interrupted, but seeing the pen in Luo An's hand, humphed twice and shifted to a more comfortable position before explaining:
"As I mentioned before, Mona's father has worked at the CIA for over 30 years, and the NSA can't find any useful leads on this veteran agent.
So they began to monitor Mona Evans, hoping to find a breakthrough through his daughter."
Luo An frowned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Mona, an FBI agent, would have a father who was a former CIA agent, and that he himself was being monitored by the NSA...
Great, have all of America's intelligence organizations come to a meeting here?
At this point, Lydia saw Luo An's fluctuating expression and slowly stopped talking.
"Hmm?"
As soon as her voice faded, Luo An's attention immediately snapped back. He picked up the pen and returned it to Lydia's cheek, and asked in a deep voice:
"Keep talking. How is all of this related to me? Why are you targeting me?"
"This was actually an accident, Luo An."
Watching Luo An's face change faster than hers, Lydia inwardly snorted with disdain and cursed, but her explanation was still very honest:
"After I heard about it from my supervisor, I started thinking about how I could get close to Mona, establish a good relationship with her, and try to obtain some useful clues.
According to the agreement, as long as I could gather useful information, I could get a large sum of money from my supervisor.
But during the investigation into Mona, I found that this woman, just like her father, was really difficult to deal with.
She has no boyfriend and no girlfriend, shops alone, and ignores anyone who hits on her.
Her only companion every day is her computer, and I just can't find a valid reason to approach her.
A few days ago, I learned that Mona had suddenly transitioned from being a trainee agent to a full-fledged agent, and the person who helped her was named Luo An Greenwood, so I..."
"So you decided to approach me, to use me as a breakthrough point to get to Mona, and then use Mona as a breakthrough point to investigate her father, right?"
Following Lydia's lead, Luo An continued the conversation, then found it absurd.
What is this, a game? To defeat the big boss, first, you tackle side quest A, and to get through side quest A, you need to complete side quest B...
Seeing the speechless expression on Luo An's face, Lydia felt wronged as well.
What else could she do? Mona and her father were both cautious and wary, constantly on guard against others, and she couldn't get close to her at all.
If it weren't for Luo An's appearance, she would have wanted to give up on this mission.
According to the information she had collected, only Luo An Greenwood, who had helped Mona, could become her friend.
The rest, like Reesi, Lede, and the other members of investigative team number five, were just teammates to Mona.
After figuring out the whole situation, Luo An planned to talk with Mona at work tomorrow, advising her to be more careful in the future, and then turned his gaze back to Lydia, with a slow smile spreading across his face.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing the expression on Luo An's face, Lydia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly backed away.
By now, she had realized that Luo An was definitely not as kind as he seemed on the surface. When faced with adverse situations, his change of demeanor was comparable to those guys at the NSA.
No, he was even scarier than those at the NSA. At least the NSA didn't act all smiley when they interrogated someone!
"Don't worry, Lydia, as long as you answer a few questions, I won't do anything to you."
Seeing Lydia's panicked expression, Luo An brushed away the hair from her forehead with a smile and lifted the pen in his hand, asking:
"I'm just a little curious, what exactly is this liquid? Why are you so afraid of it?"
"This..."
Lydia tightened her throat, swallowing before explaining:
"It's really just a sort of aphrodisiac, the kind that could make you happier."
"Are you sure?"
"I... am certain."
Seeing that no matter how she asked, Lydia refused to relent, Luo An felt even more that this potion was no simple matter, so he stood up and walked to the side, turning his back to Lydia, and took out two new wine glasses.
He also took out the "Sensitive Agent" from the system.
Turning around, Luo An walked to the side of the large bed and poured some wine into the two glasses.
In front of Lydia, Luo An poured the entire contents of the signing pen liquid into the left wine glass, and the "Sensitive Agent" from the small glass bottle into the right wine glass.
After gently shaking them, Luo An walked over to Lydia with the two glasses and smiled:
"If it really is an aphrodisiac potion, then how about choosing the left one?"
Lydia was frantically rubbing her hands together on her silk stockings, her face almost crying in desperation:
"Luo An, dear, I was wrong, I'm sorry, please don't make a choice, okay? You can play however you like tonight, anything is fine..."
Luo An frowned, thinking to himself how this sounded like he was coercing someone.
I'm not a bad person, after all, I'm the victim here.
If it weren't for my quick response, maybe I would be the one tied up right now.
Shaking his head, Luo An asked in a gentle tone:
"Lydia, tell me, does the agent in the signing pen cause immediate death?"
Lydia's voice trembled: "No... it doesn't."
Luo An nodded and pointed to the right wine glass, "The potion added to this glass won't cause death either. I haven't lied to you.
It's just that, afterwards, it will cause you long-lasting pain, the kind that's excruciating."
Hearing that it wasn't life-threatening, Lydia swallowed: "Really... really?"
Luo An felt a heaviness in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, still mild and serene:
"Of course it's true, Lydia. I have no need to lie to you. Besides, you're a senior informant for the NSA, I definitely wouldn't kill you.
In fact, if you just tell me, what exactly is the composition of the drug in that signing pen, and answer another question of mine truthfully, I'll let you go right now. You won't even have to drink the wine in the right glass. How about it?
Moreover, even if you drink from the right glass, you will still answer my questions, you'll just suffer in the process."
Seeing Luo An's sincere expression, Lydia hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice:
"....I'll drink the one on the right."
Hearing these words, Luo An's heart sank completely.
Lydia would rather bet she could endure the pain, and even drink an unknown potion, than drink the substance from the signing pen or reveal its components to him.
But why did she want to make him drink the potion from the signing pen? What did that mean?
A derivative from white powder?
Want to control me with that substance, to get close to Mona?
What next after getting close to Mona? Does that stuff have addictive properties?
How severe is the addiction?
And was the pain in my waist earlier because of the agent in the signing pen?
A myriad of questions swirled in his mind. Looking at Lydia's delicate face and thinking of those who consumed flour, their appearances so twisted they were neither human nor ghost, Luo An had a mixture of feelings.
He placed the right glass to Lydia's lips and poured slowly; Lydia opened her mouth and drank it down clean in a few seconds.

She wiped her mouth with a pillow on the bed, and seeing Luo An discard the glass with the pen liquid, Lydia's anxious heart eased slightly, and she tentatively asked:
"Luo An, I've already had the drink, how are you going to torment me?"
As she said this, Lydia noticed something off in Luo An's expression, and after thinking for two seconds, she had a sudden realization, directly turning over on the bed to strike a seductive S-curve, her voice full of temptation:
"Or, you can spare me, and we can have a pleasant night, I like the effort you put in last night..."
Luo An turned away, found a bunch of cosmetics in Lydia's bag, picked out a white makeup brush, sat back down next to Lydia, and asked:
"Ever tried this one?"
"?"
A minute later:
"!!!"
