2175

When people are in desperate situations, they will always burst out with an unimaginable desire to survive.

In the evening, the former president, who was watching the news, frowned when the phone suddenly rang.

His current suspicion has been cleared for the time being. The reason why it is said to be "temporary" is because there is no further evidence to accuse him of participating in the premeditated assassination of President Trueman.

But that doesn't mean he's safe.

Because the nature of this incident is too bad, and the high-level game and strife between capital hidden behind it, it is not as easy to solve as those presidential assassinations in the past.

In previous assassinations of presidents, a murderer was caught, and then the murderer provided some speechless but indeed motive reasons, and the court concluded.

For example, a murderer who assassinated the president once stood in the dock alive. When the judge asked him "why he committed such a bad act," he told the judge in a very even and even ostentatious speaking speed:

"Because I wrote more than a dozen letters to Mr. President but he didn't reply. I feel that my character has been insulted. He despises me. I want to kill him!"

What’s even more outrageous is that some people even think he’s right!

Then the court and the justices ruled that murder was justified, and the man who had the idea of ​​assassinating the president because he didn't get a reply from the president became part of history.

But whether he really had such an idea just because the president did not write a reply, no one knows.

It was just that it happened to be during the trial of a law initiated and implemented by Mr. President.

In the end, due to the accidental death of the sponsor, the law failed to pass a resolution, and with the departure of the president, it became history.

So, does it seem like there are any similarities between the two?

During all important legislative trials, the president was the initiator of the legislation.

Sometimes history is so similar, except that the previous murderer could still make up a ridiculous reason to satisfy the most basic decency of justice.

This time the murderer didn't even have a chance to open his mouth and speak.

Of course he also left a reason - his son died and everything was over, so someone was responsible!

If no one interfered too much, this incident should have ended in the first half of this year.

The murderer was shot dead on the spot. There was a motive and a reason. Except for the slight confusion about the origin of the murder weapon, considering that his son was once a federal soldier, it can be considered that someone supported him with the weapon.

There is almost nothing else to tear down and start over!

But as luck would have it, someone intervened in the investigation and amplified the situation.

Under such circumstances, how could the former president, who had just escaped the investigation of the Security Council, still want to step into this muddy water?

The Security Committee has somewhat preserved his dignity as the federal president. If he doesn't know how to measure things, problems are likely to arise.

The former president was a very "typical" federal president. The word "typical" means that he did not refuse political donations during his tenure, let alone the sincerity of capitalists.

He is in harmony with the capitalists, which is what almost all presidents have in common.

His wife, on the other hand, provides tax avoidance or collects certain benefits for herself and other businesses by organizing charity events.

What does it say about these things?

Since the first president, he has had a wonderful relationship with the capitalists. Everyone says no, but they have been abiding by this unspoken rule that cannot be stated clearly.

It’s okay not to be investigated.

Once you get down to it, no president is clean.

So the former president doesn’t want to wade into this muddy water.

But the phone kept ringing.

What's even more troublesome is that the person on the other end of the phone is very likely to be one of his troublesome protagonists!

After much hesitation, he still had to pick up the phone and said in a bad tone, "Good evening..."

"You have to do me a favor!"

He was interrupted before he finished speaking. The voice of the guy on the other side was very familiar to him. He had talked to him on the phone before.

In order to get rid of the investigation of the Security Committee, he personally confessed some information, but avoided the person opposite.

He was not very happy when he heard this voice, he just felt that trouble was coming.

"I'm sorry, I'm still under surveillance, and there's nothing I can do about it!" The former president's reply was decisive. He didn't want to touch anyone or anything related to this matter anymore!

But the pudgy gentleman did not let him go so easily, and his tone was a little impatient, "Hey, are you going to let down our friendship for so many years?"

"Or do you think that if I fall, you will all be safe?"

Mr. Pumpty, who has been unable to find a solution, is also a little angry and dissatisfied, "As long as you say 'no' to me now, I will hang up the phone immediately and promise not to disturb you again!"

His threats worked. He knew too much. Once he started vomiting in order to save his life, it would be a big earthquake for the federal political arena!

The former president was silent for a while and then whispered, "Okay, tell me your request."

The pudgy gentleman finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I read the newspaper. It said that you and Lynch have a good relationship, right?"

The former president subconsciously glanced at the "Pioneer" magazine placed a little further away. He had read the contents of the special issue.

He vaguely understood what Mr. Pumpty meant, which made him relax a lot.

He is now afraid that the other party will ask him to act as a broker to contact Congress or the presidential cabinet, trying to use government influence to force the investigation to be suspended or terminated.

He doesn't have that much power, and the risk is too great, but if it's just Lynch, he doesn't think it's a problem.

He admitted, "Yeah, I had a pretty good relationship with him, and you know, some people think I started the miracle fire!"

Speaking of this, the old man's mood became much higher again. He felt very proud, because the reason why Lynch was successful had a lot to do with him!

Sounds ridiculous?

When the media in society was sorting out how Lynch took the first step to success, almost everyone believed that the former president used a sentence from the report of Mayor Langdon of Sabine, York, in his speech, and won It received great social response and was loved by the people.

For this reason, he invited Lynch to participate in his celebration, and Lynch stepped into the federal upper class for the first time, getting acquainted with the likes of Mr. Wardrick and Mr. Trueman.

Therefore, he took the first step to success.

If he hadn't invited Lynch, Lynch might not have succeeded, and he might still be an ordinary member of Sabine City.

He gave the opponent a chance, but of course this does not mean that Lynch himself is incapable.

But there are so many capable people in this society, how many of them can succeed?

And among those who are successful, how many of them relied solely on their own ability to get to the top?

Therefore, many people praise the former president as "the first person to ignite the miracle fire."

It is worth noting that this statement was more common during his tenure, and no one said it anymore after he retired.

Instead, people began to trumpet the unwavering friendship and cooperation between Mr. Trueman and Lynch.

But in any case, when it comes to the issue of "face", the former president still has some respect for Lynch.

"If you just want to see Lynch, I can help you."

The former president's affirmative reply made the pudgy gentleman breathe a huge sigh of relief, "Thank you so much..."

This time it was his turn before he was interrupted before he finished speaking. The former president emphasized his tone and said, "This is the last time I will help you on this matter."

"It's not that I don't care about our friendship, it's just that I'm really helpless."

"Now the guy up there is just deaf and blind. He doesn't care about anything."

"Currently, the Security Council and the military are leading these matters. You know Trueman is a person from the military."

"The Security Council is a special agency. Even the president cannot directly ask them to do something or not to do something."

"I have done enough on this matter, this is the last time!"

"If it were other things, I would be happy to help you, but this is the last time!"

He repeated "last time" several times, hoping that through emphasis he would make the pudgy gentleman understand that he should never come to him about this again.

"And don't try to threaten me."

"You think you'll do something stupid if you're pushed, do you think I won't?"

If he really pissed off the honest man, he would be willing to take some risks to shut up the pudgy gentleman first!

After a brief silence, the pudgy gentleman also knew that it was not appropriate to say anything else, at least not right now.

After thanking him again and again, he hung up the phone.

The former president rubbed his forehead with a headache. He thought for a while, filtering out the context and thoughts, and then he picked up the phone and called Lynch.

It took several calls to find Lynch, who told him about Mr. Humpty's request to him.

In front of Lynch, the former president did not act as relaxed as he said to Mr. Pumpty. Lynch's social status is getting higher and higher, and his wealth is getting more and more.

His influence has surpassed that of the previous president, and Lynch is not a meek and kind capitalist.

Although the former president has retired, according to the rules and regulations of the federal government, he can still apply to read some confidential documents.

He knew that Lynch personally ordered the large-scale dumping of pesticides into the north of Marillo, and the report estimated that at least 300,000 people died from the poisonous residue of the pesticides.

This is not to mention the military suppression operations carried out by Blackstone Security in various regions. If Blackstone Security is a tool, then the owner of this tool, Lynch, has already dominated countless lives!

For such a person, even if he is still very young, and even if the former president thinks that he has a "favor" for him, he will not be too confident and conceited.

He seemed very gentle, as if he did not regard himself as the president. He first explained why he called.

Then, they talked about whether Lynch could be invited to meet the other party.

It’s not forced at all!
