Chapter 162 My House Is Quite Big (4K)

"Yes, it's a fake bomb! The timer and wiring are all real; only the detonator is fake."

This shows that the person who made this fake bomb was fully capable of making a real bomb.

"What's this guy's goal? To scare Megan?"

Brian glanced around and then whispered to Rosen.

"The fake bomb unfolded automatically after the allotted time, revealing a note inside. The person who made the bomb claimed they would set off real fireworks during the Miss America beauty pageant finals!"

"What the hell! Isn't this a terrorist attack?"

"Yes, that's what the people in the department think, so they want Fox to cancel or postpone the beauty pageant. But the people at Fox don't think so; they think it's just a prank, or some Megan Kelly fan trying to get her attention."

Don't think Fox's idea is outrageous, because America has a history of outrageous things done by fanatical fans.

The most famous examples are John Lennon being shot by his own fanatical fan and Jodie Foster's fanatical fan attempting to assassinate President Reagan in order to get her attention.

There have been many tragedies caused by idol worship at the University of Tokyo, so what are the benefits of idol worship?

But Rosen still couldn't understand the thought process of the Fox News executives.

"Even if it's just a prank, those guys can't completely ignore it, can they? Even if there's only a one percent chance it's real, it's still a human life at stake!"

Brian shook his head helplessly.

"Who knows what those fat, bloated guys are thinking? Anyway, Fox News has already lobbied the LAPD to suppress this matter, and the beauty pageant will proceed as scheduled. But they haven't done nothing entirely; I heard the case is ready to be transferred to the FBI."

Rosen frowned.

"I'll ask at the station later. Brian, could you take me to see Megan? I'm her friend."

"Of course, no problem! Ms. Kelly wasn't there at the time, so nothing really happened. However, another lady was greatly frightened and ended up in the hospital injured because she was glued to her chair."

Rosen's expression immediately turned strange. What kind of game is this?

Brian quickly brought Rosen to the office to meet Megan.

"Rosen!"

As soon as Megan saw Rosen, she couldn't control herself and rushed over to hug him.

This action caused many police officers in the office to whistle.

"Hey Kelly! Is this your boyfriend?"

"My God! My cousin will be devastated if he hears this!"

"What's so great about this Asian pretty boy? Kelly, you should be looking at hunks like us!"

These words prompted Brian to speak up.

"Tom, I advise you to shut your mouth, or you might get a beating!"

"Brian, do you know him?"

"Of course I know him. He could easily take on all three of you by himself."

The instigators immediately shut up; they were just joking and didn't actually want to get beaten up.

Only then did Megan release Rosen, and a blush appeared on her fair face.

"Rosen, I didn't expect you to actually come!"

"How can you not trust me at all? If I said I'd come, I definitely would!"

As he spoke, Rosen looked at Brian.

"Brian, is Megan's statement taken?"

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask."

Brian found the officer who was taking Megan's statement and asked him a question.

"The statement is done, but we still need to create a composite sketch. The department investigated afterward and found that the deliveryman wasn't a FedEx employee at all; he was very likely the one who made the fake bomb. Ms. Kelly is the only person who had extensive contact with this deliveryman, and we need her to describe what he looks like."

Fox News does have cameras, but the deliveryman seemed very professional, and there was no clear view of his face in the surveillance footage. So they had to rely on Megan's description, who had been in close contact with the deliveryman, to have a professional criminal sketch artist draw his portrait.

Yes, some skilled criminal sketch artists can create portraits that are over 0% similar to the criminals themselves.

Of course, this is on the premise that the eyewitness account is accurate and that the perpetrator has not disguised himself.

"Brian, could you please arrange things for Megan as soon as possible?"

"This is a minor issue; I'll arrange it for Ms. Kelly as soon as possible."

Having connections in the bureau is convenient; Brian quickly resolved Megan's problem and then had Rosen lead Megan out through the side door.

Megan is a public figure now, and if the reporters at the door see Rosen with her, it will probably be on the news again.

However, there were a few reporters lying in ambush at the side entrance. Fortunately, Lawson had just won the non-prescription glasses.

When Rosen put the glasses on Megan, he immediately felt that Megan's presence seemed to diminish.

"Rosen, what kind of glasses are these? They're amazing!"

"This is a high-tech product that the FBI is currently testing. It uses optics to reduce a person's presence, making it easier to conduct tracking work."

Rosen was spouting nonsense with a straight face, but Megan, being a liberal arts student, didn't understand a word he was saying and just looked on with a puzzled expression.

"Has technology reached this level yet? I definitely want to buy a civilian version of this!"

Then there'll be a long wait.

Rosen led Megan into the Dodge Viper.

"Meghan, shall I take you home? You look tired."

It was already 9 p.m., and after a day of work, the shock of the bomb package, and several hours spent at the police station, Megan did look very tired.

"Okay, my home is at XX apartment on XX street in Burbank."

Rosen was driving and chatting with Megan casually, but at some point Megan stopped talking.

I turned my head and saw Megan asleep with her head tilted to the side.

Rosen didn't wake Megan until he arrived at the apartment Megan was renting.

"Meghan, wake up, we're here!"

However, Megan was very resistant to waking up, so Rosen had to pinch her pert nose to help her wake up.

Soon, the feeling of suffocation finally made Megan open her eyes.

"Phew! Rosen, why did you scare me like that!"

"No matter how I call you, you won't wake up, so I have no choice but to do this."

Megan rubbed her eyes, then realized she was home.

"So you're home already? Lawson, want to come upstairs for a drink?"

Although her cheeks were flushed, Megan still took the initiative to extend the invitation.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee or alcohol?"

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

But Megan pretended not to understand and proceeded to give a very thorough analysis.

"Hmm, I won't be able to sleep if I drink coffee at night, so I'll have some red wine to help me sleep!"

"But if I've been drinking, it might be inconvenient for me to drive home."

Lawson completely ignored the miraculous hangover cure he had obtained from the app and wore a troubled expression.

Megan's cheeks turned even redder, the redness even reaching her ears.

"It's okay, my house is quite big. If you're drunk, you can stay."

Having said all that, how could Rosen possibly refuse?

However, Megan's rented apartment is indeed quite large. Although it is not as large as Swifar's apartment in Beverly Hills, it is definitely several times larger than Lawson's Loft apartment.

Actually, Rosen doesn't stay in that loft apartment near Caltech much anymore; he only stays there occasionally when he meets up with Blake and Daisy.

Rosen spent most of his time living at Bonanno Manor.

"I'll go get the wine. You can sit on the sofa for a while."

Rosen sat on the sofa and looked around the apartment. With this decor and this size, the monthly rent would probably be over ten thousand.

The fact that Meghan can afford an apartment like this shows that she has indeed made money in the past few months.

Rosen sat there for a good ten minutes before Megan came over with a bottle of red wine and a wine glass.

We can see that Meghan changed out of her work clothes and put on a rather sexy short skirt.

Because of her physical attributes, Megan was far inferior to the other women Rosen knew, but her legs were indeed very long.

At 1.77 meters tall, she was the second tallest woman Rosen knew, only shorter than Svefa.

However, Megan's body proportions made Rosen feel that her legs were much longer than Swifa's.

Especially the short skirt she's wearing now, which perfectly showcases Meghan's long legs.

It truly perfectly illustrates what it means to have legs that start right below the neck.

Rosen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Noticing Rosen's gaze, Megan revealed a slightly smug smile.

"Sorry to keep you waiting so long, Rosen! Now we can begin!"

'

However, Megan seemed to have little experience drinking red wine and was very clumsy when opening the cork. In the end, it was Rosen who helped her open the bottle of red wine.

Then, they poured a third of the red wine into two stemmed glasses, and Rosen and Megan clinked glasses.

"Cheers!" ×2

The sour and astringent red wine slid down my throat.

Rosen doesn't really like drinking red wine because he thinks most red wines are too sour and don't taste as good as whiskey.

However, what kind of alcohol you drink depends on who you're drinking with.

After downing a glass of red wine, Megan's face turned bright red very quickly, whether from the alcohol or something else, it was hard to tell.

"Rosen, do you know? I've been really tired lately. I haven't been able to fall asleep before midnight in a long time."

"It's obvious."

Rosen looked at Megan's face, which was so close to his own, and even though she was wearing makeup, he could still see that she looked a little tired.

It seems that Megan's earnings over the past few months haven't come without a price.

Of course, most people don't have the opportunity to pay this price, so Meghan wasn't complaining.

"You won't be upset that I haven't contacted you lately, will you?"

Megan continued to move closer to Rosen, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

"Meghan, of course I know you're having a tough time, but sometimes you shouldn't keep it all to yourself. You can always find someone to share the burden with!"

Megan bit her lip, looking at Rosen somewhat embarrassed.

"Are you willing to share the burden with me?"

"Of course I'm willing."

"6

Megan suddenly flashed a silly grin that was completely out of character for her usual shrewdness.

It's clear that Megan was indeed somewhat drunk.

"Let's have another drink to celebrate!"

As she was speaking, Megan reached for the wine bottle to pour Rosen a drink, but because she lost her balance, the wine spilled onto Rosen's suit.

"Excuse me! I'll clean it up for you right away!"

Lawson didn't pay much attention to his suit; the bulletproof suit produced by the app automatically repaired and cleaned itself at midnight every day, which was very convenient.

However, Megan's cleaning method clearly surprised Rosen; she actually cleaned Rosen by doing it herself.

How could Rosen possibly accept this loss?

Immediately pour red wine on Megan and clean her up in the same way.

Yes, this way of drinking is indeed quite exciting, making even the originally sour red wine taste sweet.

With the combined efforts of Rosen and Megan, the bottle of red wine was quickly finished.

"Meghan, are you ready?"

Megan nodded, her face flushed; she was already quite drunk.

"Um""

Meghan has undergone a transformation, radiating true charm.

Megan burst into tears of joy, but before she could even enjoy her happiness for a moment, a storm was brewing.

The blonde news anchor is indeed very tenacious and has a very strong will, but unfortunately some objective problems cannot be changed by willpower alone.

Heavy rain and strong winds swept across South Africa, causing the Orange River (South Africa's largest river) to swell rapidly and resulting in widespread flooding.

"Rosen, I feel like I just saw heaven!"

"Wait! Rosen, why aren't you here yet—"

"I'm going to die! Waaaaah—Rosen, how can you be so strong?"

"I can't take it anymore! Rosen, please, I really can't hold on! I have to go to work tomorrow!"

Rosen remained silent, focusing solely on controlling the flooding, but the flooding of the Orange River worsened, seemingly threatening to spread to other areas.

Finally, the floodwaters spiraled out of control, but the apartment building returned to calm.

Poor Megan, she still took the day off the next day.

However, Fox News didn't say anything. After all, what happened yesterday meant they definitely needed to rest and adjust their mindset.

Megan wasn't the only one to take the day off; many others chose to do so after being frightened.

Rosen got up looking refreshed, and after leaving breakfast for Megan, he put on a clean bulletproof suit and headed to the FBI building.

Megan didn't wake up until noon. When she woke up, she felt like her body had fallen apart and she felt lightheaded.

This feeling, however, made Megan feel relaxed.

Since Francis Ritchie's downfall, Megan has been working at a high intensity and hasn't had a proper rest in a long time.

Last night was the best night's sleep Megan had had in months.

"I wish every day could be like this."

Well, if it were like this every day, Megan definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Svefa and Sophia both went through this, initially attracted to Rosen's powerful physique.

Then you gradually feel overwhelmed, and finally enter a state of pain and pleasure.

For now, let Megan dream for a while.
