Luo An's father, named Charles Greenwood, was a professor of accounting at Boston University and also an advisor for many companies, so Luo An had a good family condition during his childhood.
His mother was originally named Beverly Sheffield. After marrying Luo An's father, she changed her surname following federal tradition to Beverly Greenwood, and she was a doctor in a children's hospital.
In Luo An's mind, memories related to his father were almost non-existent because Charles Greenwood was killed in a street shooting when Luo An was just 4 years old.
However, he had many memories of his mother Beverly who was both gentle and strict, single-handedly raising Luo An as he grew up.
A week after Luo An turned 18, his mother Beverly was also killed in a street shooting on her way to work. The killer was the same as the one who killed his father Charles and remained at large.
