city council building
"I know, tell them, I'm definitely on their side."
Holding the receiver of the old-fashioned telephone, the man wearing a white shirt and a twill tie took a deep breath and pressed the hang-up button on the phone.
Then he slammed the microphone in his hand on the desk, straightened up, threw his arms, and shouted angrily, "Asshole, this damn old bastard! This old lunatic! I want to impeach him! Let him Get off the mayor's seat! Who does he think he is, the king of Elan?"
"Quiet, man, where is the elegance and magnanimity of the St. Ilan people that you are so proud of?"
Outside the office, a tall man with a slim build, wearing a loose suit, and a cigar in his mouth took out a bottle of whiskey with an old label and two square glasses from the wine cabinet, and placed them in front of the sofa. on the low table.
He raised the wine bottle and poured wine into two wine glasses, "Don't forget, your signature is on the proposal to impeach him."
Jingle Bell--
The phone on the table rang again.
The man in the white shirt reached out and answered the phone. The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have said something, which made him frown slightly. Then he suppressed his anger and said quickly, "What do you guys do for food? He must contact me and you guys." Are you going to tell him I'm okay? I'm a bunch of idiots and put him on the phone."
With a slight 'ding--' sound, the angry cheeks of the man in the white shirt instantly turned into a gentle smile.
"Old Mr. Korok... Yes, of course, I'm sure I remember you. I haven't thanked you for persuading the neighbors and neighborhood residents to vote for me.
"...Is your grandson okay? I'm afraid this kid is getting taller now. He might be taller than me next time we meet...Have you been sick for a few days? What did the people on the campaign committee do? ! I'll ask them to bring you some medicine right away...
"You're welcome, you're welcome, don't worry, everything will be fine... What are you talking about about the health care bill? I know that your three sons all work in the factory of Ivis Space System, and they really need health insurance.
"Yes, of course, I definitely support this bill. You know me. There is no way I would accept donations from a consortium to oppose a bill that can improve the lives of people in the neighborhood.
"Don't listen to the rumors on the Internet. Nowadays, many people like to make random analyses. I definitely firmly support the health care bill. Yes, yes, I swear on my personality. I am definitely on the side of the residents of the neighborhood. I promised It will bring a better life to the neighborhood.
"Okay, okay, bye."
Snapped--
The man in the white shirt slapped the receiver in his hand heavily on the phone. He looked up at the man with the cigar.
"Quiet? How do you want me to be quiet?"
As he spoke, he angrily walked out from behind the desk, directly picked up the wine glass filled with wine on the low table, and drank the whiskey in it, "Do you know what Linn did? He put The affairs of the parliament are clearly posted on the Internet, and it is also implied that I accepted donations from the consortium! "This old madman!"
"Relax man, you're like an angry bear right now,"
The man holding the cigar took off the cigar from his mouth, picked up the wine glass, put the whiskey in it to his mouth, and took a sip, "He didn't say our names by name, he just hung up his The opposition to the bill and the specific deeds... What’s more, we did receive donations from the consortium to oppose his bill, which is not a reason to be angry.”
"He listed the things in such detail. Anyone who is interested can contact us as long as they collect relevant information."
The man in the white shirt angrily threw the wine glass in his hand on the table. "Today, the phone calls in my office were ringing off the hook by those stupid voters in my constituency! They came to ask me if I had received money from the consortium, and asked me if I was Not for the syndicates to prevent the passage of bills that would improve their lives,"
He frowned, pinched the wine glass with his fingers, and veins popped out, "These idiots, I don't accept money from the consortium, how can I have the money to do advertisements, how can I have the money to convene them to hold rallies, just rely on the campaign committee they gave me Donate one or two federal coins?
"What benefit does this do to that old madman?! This is how the parliament and the cabinet have been run for so many years. He also came from our path. He doesn't know that some things can be discussed in private but cannot be put in the open. Say it face to face?”
He raised his head, glanced ahead, raised his empty wine glass, and pointed at the office door ahead.
"In this parliament and in his cabinet, how many people do not accept money from the consortium? How many of them do not help the consortium? Does he have no children who need to go to good schools?"
He stretched out his hand and tugged at his tie, loosening it a little, and took a breath with flushed cheeks.
"Resort hotels, luxury villas, women, food, cocktail parties, which one doesn't require money?"
The man holding the cigar on the other side picked up the wine bottle again and poured a little wine into his empty glass.
The man in the white shirt drank the drinks in one gulp again, spit out the alcohol, and looked at the man with the cigar with red cheeks.
"With the city government's annual salary of more than RMB 100,000 plus subsidies, how many council members can support themselves?"
"He puts this out there. Does he think the conservative congressmen who are attached to him will still be loyal to him? They also want this old madman to die. He is dead!"
"Indeed, he is dead,"
The cigar man poured some wine into the white shirt man's wine glass again, then took his own wine glass and walked to the desk, leaning on the desk and looking at the neon city outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk.
Dark giant clouds covered the sky, casting a shadow. He slowly said, "He experienced an assassination last night and another this morning. The death knell of death is ringing in his ears at any time. If He is still following the rules as before, he will only be cornered little by little and be eaten to death by the consortium. "
"I said what happened to you today?"
The man in the white shirt held the wine glass and turned to look at the man with the cigar, "Why do you always speak for that old lunatic? My friend, we are in this together, and your name is also on the impeachment proposal."
"I'm just trying to put myself in his shoes and understand why he did what he did,"
The cigar man looked down at the crystal amber liquid in the cup and shook it slightly. "His speech this morning was an attempt to directly open up a dialogue channel with the lower levels. The content on the mayor's website is on Trying to cut open the city council’s operating black box and present it to everyone in the simplest and most crude way.”
"He has gone crazy. He is trying to challenge the consortium and clarify the unspoken rules that are running well. I have never seen such a crazy person. A crazy old man, a tyrant with no etiquette, sitting on the throne that controls the highest power of Elan. superior,"
The man in the white shirt took a sip of his wine, "And you, my friend, are trying to understand this lunatic."
"Actually, although many of his actions are a little crazy, we all know that it may be the right path, but it is full of crises and thorns."
The cigar man put the wine glass on the desk, took a cigar in his mouth, and looked out the window again. The flowing giant clouds were drifting into the distance, and the bright sunlight was shining down from the sky.
“In a few months, the City Council will be up for a new term, and if we expose a lot of scandal at this juncture, it will be even more difficult to seek re-election.
“He is using the most brutal and reckless method to use the will of the bottom voters to force us to agree to his bill, and the pressure will only get tighter and tighter.
"We all know that, my friend,"
The cigar man held the cigar between his index and middle fingers, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and brought the amber liquid to his mouth, "People are just silent, not ignorant."
The man in the white shirt standing behind him didn't answer any more this time. He just held the wine glass and looked at the sunlight outside the window, silent.
Buzz——
At this time, the cigar man's bracelet vibrated slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the pop-up window on the bracelet.
[exclusive! Video of the mayor’s assassination last night! ]

saint ylan district
The thin, short man with a thin face looked up at the police car going away, opened the taxi door, and got into the back seat. He glanced at the bracelet and said quickly to the driver in front of him, "Master, I need to go to Bai Moli Palace quickly."
"Don't worry, I'm the fastest driver in Yilan, and I'm not comparable to those stupid self-driving smart programs."
He reached out and pressed the ejection start button on the console, stepped on the brake and accelerator at the same time, and then suddenly released the brake.
Accompanied by a violent roar of wind, the thin man sitting in the back row swayed, his body hit the backrest, and he was rushed forward.
Under this violent acceleration, it took the man a while to recover from the shock. He glanced at the driver, finally raised his bracelet, and kept reading the contents on the bracelet.
Mr Lynn had all but dismissed the Cabinet, which he already knew through his 'friends' in the Cabinet.
After last night's assassination, Mr. Linn's thinking seemed to have changed. He had gone from being gentle and tolerant in the past to becoming extremely tough, even feeling a little too tough.
When I see Mr. Lin En later, I have to give him some advice.
This kind of admonition will not make Mr. Lin feel that he is disobeying, but will only make him feel that he is sincerely thinking about the city and the reform cause.
As an old man and confidant who had been with Lin En day and night for several years, the man knew Lin En's temper very well.
He knew very well that Lin En really had ideals and really wanted to change the city and break the power of the entrenched conglomerates.
However, as a challenger to the old order, Lynn is not courageous and courageous enough. He often has a weak ear and appears to be a little indecisive when he hears something new. Many originally good bills are slightly blocked by the consortium. I can't push it anymore.
It was precisely because he understood Lin En's temper that he behaved unusually aggressively on various occasions.
He knew that this kind of radicalism would not make Linn angry, but would make Linn feel that he was a reliable ally.
His position on the team is to show the radical attitude that is lacking in Lynn's team and let conservatives and everyone see their radicalness.
It is precisely because of this that many of his intentionally radical speeches that offended the city defense army were tolerated by Lin En.
But now, Lin En has been stimulated and has become tougher. He has to be appropriately 'conservative' and try to maintain his original personality while trying to persuade Lin En not to be too tough from time to time.
He knows Lin En very well, even better than he knows himself. No matter how a person changes, his essential character will not be too bad. Lin En's toughness is most likely still a stress reaction after being assassinated. In essence, he is still the same indecisive person. People will not kill themselves easily.
This was also the reason why he dared to come back after running away.
He only needs to see Lin En and cry about his difficulties.
First admit your mistake and express your attitude, and then make it clear that you left because you offended the city defense army too much and were afraid of being liquidated by the city defense army in a coup.
No matter how detailed he explained that his departure was actually not about running away, but about retreating to advance, keeping the fire of hope and change, one day in the future, he would be like Sienzi in St. John City, even if the mayor died. , will also return at a certain point in time to continue the mayor's unfinished business.
Then he cried and begged for forgiveness.
He knew Lynn's preferences and temper very well.
After the three-step explanation of attitude, human nature, and ideals is completed, Lin En's character is very likely not to pursue it anymore. Even if he hardens his heart and pursues it, he can still get an official position, as long as he is still with Lin En , there will be a chance to climb back again.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Lin En did not know about his previous secret transactions with the consortium.
Judging from the current situation, although most members of the city cabinet have been fired, they are still handing over work in their seats.
Therefore, Lynn may not really have the criminal evidence of these ministers, but he may have obtained some information based on suspicion, and then killed these people in order to show his tough attitude.
There was still room for redemption in everything. As long as he could see Lin En, he would have the confidence to convince Lin En to forgive him.
He raised his bracelet and flipped through the messages on it from the fired cabinet 'friends'. While quickly replying his thanks, he vowed that if he returned to Lin En again, he would introduce them to them again. Help 'unravel' the misunderstanding with Mr. Linn.
Of course, when he is really reinstated, if Lin En acts more talkative, he will try to introduce these 'old friends'. If Lin En acts very tough, he won't say a word.
After replying to the message, he clicked on the video of Mayor Lynn's morning speech again and replayed it at twice the speed.
He had already reviewed this speech once on his way here, and this was the second time.
It has to be said that after experiencing life and death, Lin En's speaking ability seemed to have enlightened him, and it has been greatly improved. His demeanor and tone have also changed slightly from before, making him more confident and more impressive.
However, he was not sure if Linn had really changed or if he was pretending to change for the sake of the speech.
After all, for a qualified politician, showing a convincing look in a speech is the basic ability.
After quickly watching the video and reciting the speech twice in his mind, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You can already see the jasmine flowers in front of the White Jasmine Palace ahead.
The man held on to the window and shook his dizzy head. Although the driver of the taxi was a little rough, he did drive fast. He took many small roads and delivered him to the White Jasmine Palace in much less time than usual. .
He glanced at the video on the bracelet and exited the video interface. The video was downloaded directly from the official website of Bai Moli Palace. The video was also played directly using the browser. After closing the video, the browser automatically returned to the web page just now. That is the official website of White Jasmine Palace.
Then, his vision turned red.
The official website of Bai Moli Palace was not refreshed. Instead, a pop-up window of [Dangerous Web Page, Forbidden to Access] popped up from the browser.
Dangerous web page? White Jasmine Palace official website? Hijacked by hackers?
The man was stunned for a moment, quickly changed several browsers, and finally clicked on the web page of Bai Moli Palace on a small company's browser.
It's not that the official website was hijacked, but the consortium's counterattack arrived.
Great, now.
This is the time to ‘give help in times of need’.
As long as he meets Lin En, expresses his firm support to Mayor Lin En, gives some suggestions, and then contacts the consortium to ask the consortium to give some relief, then he can return to the power of the city government. core.
It's a pity that Levi's has been unable to contact him. He didn't reply to messages and couldn't get through on the phone. That guy is usually very 'diligent' and I don't know what happened.
"arrive!"
The driver ahead applies the brakes.
As the vehicle came to a stop, the thin man opened the door and got out of the car. He looked at the sea of jasmine in front of him and the palace behind the sea of jasmine. He took a deep breath and walked forward quickly.
Soon, he will be able to return there, take control of the power, and continue to be a noble cabinet master.
"Hello."
But before he took a few steps forward, a young figure wearing a police uniform stood in front of him, "Are you a former cabinet minister? My name is Senna, from the city police department."
"Yes, I am a cabinet minister,"
The thin man was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked with some confusion, "Did Mr. Lin En arrange to pick me up?"
Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Lin En actually doesn't have to be so kind to me. My loyalty to him can be seen from time to time! When I return to the cabinet, I will give you a good word in front of Mr. Lin En. Take me there quickly." Mr. Lynn."
"Yes, I'm here to pick you up, but I can't take you to see Mr. Lynn for the time being,"
Senna nodded, raised his bracelet and showed a document, "Sir, you are charged with 'bribery', 'abuse of power', and many other crimes. This is an arrest warrant. Please come with me."
"ah?"
The thin man's eyes widened in confusion.
Snapped--
A pair of electromagnetic handcuffs got stuck on his hands, and then they were sucked together with a 'bang' sound.
