1892 The Connection of Destiny

Someone wants to harm me!

That was all Director Johnson was thinking at this time.

He thought about it all night, not sure what to do. After a hard night of ideological struggle, he called Lynch in the morning.

It was past seven o'clock, and Lynch had just returned from exercise.

As the craze for bodybuilding and fitness continues to spread, the community service company in the Mid-Levels Villa District used a construction site to build a fitness gym.

People who can live in mid-level villas are not short of money. Most of them have memberships in some gyms or have their own fitness coaches.

However, most people do not have a complete private gym with various equipment.

The emergence of community gyms has filled this gap.

There is no venue usage fee. Everyone lives in the same community. Regardless of how familiar they are with each other, they are basically people who have met each other a few times.

It has a relatively comfortable environment and people don't feel too awkward with each other.

The community service company has also arranged fitness coaches, as well as various nutritionists and other coaches to provide professional fitness advice to business owners!

There is no charge for simple use, but if you need help from these professional coaches, you will have to pay another amount of money.

Lynch exercises either in the morning or in the evening, and he is reluctant to go to ordinary gyms.

After all, as a celebrity like a star, it is definitely not a good experience for him to appear in such a place.

A group of sweaty men and women would come over to chat with him, which was not what he wanted.

The gym in the community is only open to residents in the community, which provides great convenience.

You only need to pay an extra 800 yuan a month to enjoy professional services, which Lynch thinks is a good deal.

His muscles were tight when he came back. The coach was very professional and he knew very well that what the people living here wanted was not a body of terrible muscles, but a healthy body.

Therefore, the intensity of the training plans provided for muscle growth is not as intense as those with bodybuilding as the core.

The phone call interrupted his bathing plan. After a few simple showers to wash away the sweat from his body, Lynch left the bathroom and answered the phone.

"Mr. Lynch?"

Johnson's voice is different from others, a little hoarse and old.

Lynch recognized it immediately, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Without any hesitation, Director Johnson said directly what he had been thinking about all night, "Mr. Lynch, someone asked me to investigate the criminal evidence of the Grimm Brothers..."

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, feeling a little uneasy.

The Brothers Grimm had become the largest bootleggers in York State.

Although the federation allows legal overseas wine to enter the federation, taxes, policies, quantities, etc. have always restricted ordinary people's preference for wine.

Just like workers who are used to having a big beer and some high-calorie food after get off work, trying to stop them from drinking is almost killing them!

Fortunately, the workers' union found some other ways to solve this problem. They used some unique potion formulas and aerated them to make the drink they invented taste like drinking beer.

This solved the dissatisfaction of the working class about the lack of beer.

But this can only solve some people. There are more people in society who have needs, and there are huge profits among them!

So smuggling became popular.

The Grimm brothers' ruthless style makes people dare not compete with them for business. In addition, they have killed the five major Bupen families, and York State belongs to them from top to bottom.

Most of the moonshiners have left here, leaving only some family-based moonshiners selling goods on a small scale.

These shipments do not have much impact on the private wine trading of group business.

The Contraband Bureau usually arrests people who secretly make wine and sell it at home, not the Grimm Brothers.

Of course, they are not selling alcoholic beverages on the surface, but selling a variety of sandwich candies, grape juice, grape bricks, etc. that only adults will like.

When no one investigates their businesses, these businesses are obviously legal and compliant.

But once someone wants to investigate them, these businesses will become illegal.

Whether it is legal or not depends entirely on the attitude of the law enforcer.

In the past, when no one was targeting the Green Brothers, Johnson, as the current director, did not seek trouble from the Green Brothers, so naturally no one else would take the initiative to do so.

But now, someone has said hello, and once he takes action, he will definitely gain something.

After all, criminal evidence has always been there, and it is not something that can be avoided by just writing a disclaimer.

If it's illegal, it's illegal. This is an unchangeable fact!

Director Johnson was a little frightened. Once he took action against the Grimm Brothers, would it mean that Lynch would also take action against him?

As a native of Sabine, he has witnessed Lynch's development from scratch. He knows very well that Lynch is much scarier than others think!

Lynch's voice remained unchanged. He was only interested in the person who made the request, "Whose order?"

Johnson still didn't hesitate or conceal anything, "Ordered by the director of the State Contraband Investigation Bureau."

The Contraband Bureau is a vertical unit, like the FBI.

Such agencies with great powers are mostly vertical departments in the federation, and local governments cannot direct or interfere with their daily work unless authorized by higher levels.

But even if it is authorized, it is only for a while.

Lynch frowned slightly, then relaxed, "I'll call you at noon, and I'll tell you what to do then."

The busy tone on the receiver made Johnson feel a little relieved. He suddenly felt someone behind him, hugging his waist from behind.

The smell of shampoo fascinated him and filled him with guilt.

Of course, these feelings of guilt are slowly fading away.

"what happened?"

his wife asked.

"You rarely get up so early."

Yes, Johnson has retired. He is now approaching sixty years old and his physical functions are not as good as when he was young.

Coupled with work reasons, he usually goes to bed late and wakes up late.

This is the first time in this period of time that we are so early today.

Johnson held her hand and shook his head slightly, "I will handle it, don't worry."

This woman was Michael's wife and eventually they got married because the children needed a complete family.

Michael was convicted of a felony and had two years to come out.

Director Johnson planned to fish him out early, but because his rise exceeded the upper limit of the Special Talent Recruitment Act, he is still there.

His wife, his son, became a problem.

The woman herself was incapable of working and had a mountain of debts and bills to pay, so Johnson eventually helped her.

For this reason, he divorced his first wife, and had a quarrel with his two previous children, and they hardly saw each other.

In exchange, he and Michael's young wife formed a new family and had a child of their own.

He is now the backbone of the family. Women still have little ability to work, so being able to take care of the family is already a big improvement.

The eldest son, Michael's son, has already gone to college. Even if it is Lynch's college, this is still a heavy education expense.

His own son is still in primary school and will definitely go to college in the future, which increasingly reflects his significance to the family.

Changes related to pensions in the reform of the social security system have changed his salary from more than 700 to more than 600 now.

It seems that it has only dropped by more than a hundred, but the prices at this time are already difficult to compare with those a few years ago or ten years ago.

The money is not small, but it is really not much and cannot support the family.

Fortunately, he still had an extra salary when he was re-employed. At the same time, he also received a salary from Lynch as a consultant, which allowed the family to support itself.

He knew very well that nothing could happen to him. If something happened to him, the whole family would be implicated!

People are always like this. When you have no desires and no demands, no one can make you make any compromises.

But once you have concerns, bow your head everywhere!

On the other side, after Lynch hung up the phone, he called Senator Langdon and asked about who was running the Contraband Bureau.

There are only two possibilities for the Contraband Investigation Bureau, either it is directly under the Office of the President, that is, only the President is the top leader of this agency.

There is also one that is under the comprehensive management of the federal government.

In this part of the comprehensive management of the federal government, Congress has great power, and many parts are even managed by different committees of Congress.

For example, some departments responsible for finance belong to the Appropriations Committee and the Budget Committee.

On the surface, the directors or ministers of these departments are the top leaders of the departments, but in fact, they still have to listen to Congress.

Whatever Congress says is what it says.

Senator Langdon didn't quite know what Lynch wanted to know, but that didn't stop him from giving Lynch an answer.

"The Contraband Investigation Bureau belongs to the Health and Drug Safety Management Committee, which is now headed by three people...,...,..."

Three senators, plus about a dozen representatives, is the structure of most committees in Congress.

After saying this, Senator Langdon asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"I have some friendship with... one of them. We have collaborated on previous projects."

"Make an appointment. I won't show up. You can find out who requested the investigation of the Brothers Grimm. I don't want to know the process, I just want to know the result."

Of course Senator Langdon knew about the Brothers Grimm, so he agreed casually, "No problem, I'll do it in two days."

Although there were no fluctuations in Lynch's tone, he was very tough, "Go now."

Senator Langdon was stunned for a moment, "Okay, Boss, I'll go now!"
