Blackstone Code

Marillo was confused again.

The Congressmen, the Ministry of National Defense, and the President, who knew the inside story, all breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation is now very clear. The Federals will attack anyone who does not open fire to start a war.

Someone has already passed this news on in private. Of course, they won't show it... too openly. Instead, they will express the federal people's concern about the situation in Marillo in a subtle and secret way.

Just like the federal people displayed a field army on the border between the Federation and Marillo, saying that they were ready to enter Marillo anytime and anywhere to help the Marillo people build a peaceful country, but their true role was known to everyone.

The peace that Bergao longed for did not come after all. The warlords also suffered heavy casualties in the big explosion. Forced by the federals, they began to attack each other.

For the sake of peace, they had a truce for nearly two years, but it only takes one day to ruin it all!

Peace may never belong to Marillo!

Of course, there is also a very interesting news. Begao’s only son had already crossed the border, but when he learned that his father had died in an “assassination by extremist organizations”, he resolutely returned to the territory and claimed to complete Begao’s mission. O's legacy is to make peace the only color in Marillo.

It's a great ideal. It's good to have ideals, but sometimes ideals need to be combined with reality. Those ideals that are impossible to realize... let's forget it.

In fact, it’s not anyone’s fault, not Bergao’s fault, not his son’s, it’s just that they are too close to the Federation!

Over the weekend, Lynch took Vera and her son to the amusement park. The operation of Blackstone Fund in the first half of the year was very stable, with basically no failed investment projects, and the funds were also very stable, without any problems.

In fact, for foundations, the security of funds is more important than the choice of investment projects.

Fortunately, Vera was watching all this for Lynch, who trusted her very much, and she also used facts to show that she was worthy of Lynch's trust.

The little boy who was a little older before looked like he was about eight, nine or ten years old.

I wonder if all the people from the Federation look more mature. The little boy looks more mature than the nine-year-old boy that Lynch imagined.

The body shape and appearance are more like that of a young man around twelve or thirteen years old.

He was playing with the nanny, a little woman in her early thirties, not much younger than Vera.

The recession and the Great Depression destroyed her family and job, and she had to work to maintain her life.

Sometimes the reality is cruel and helpless. She needs to accompany Vera's son well in order to get a salary from Vera to support her son.

She could only give her motherly love to other people's children in front of her. All she could leave to her own children was the responsibility of being a mother.

But there is nothing we can do, this is life.

"They have a good relationship." Lynch looked at the two people in the distance. The nanny's smile was not fake, which was a good sign.

Vera nodded slightly, "I am getting busier and busier now, so I have to find someone to accompany him. He has always lacked family care, but fortunately he is very sensible."

Lynch held Vera's hand and tilted his head to look at her, "You can leave some unimportant tasks to others. There is no need to keep an eye on everything yourself."

As Lynch manages more and more industries, the capital transactions and operations of these companies are eventually connected to the Blackstone Fund, and some of them are not directly one-to-one.

These funds go around and around, and Vera has to ensure that there will be no problems with them, let alone being intercepted by some people without being discovered, which requires a lot of work.

Although there are now small calculators, they do not help much with the workload itself. They only save a part of the calculation time, and the heavy work is still heavy.

Vera often has to work until late at night before she can rest!

To her, this is her responsibility, a responsibility that must be fulfilled.

She lives in Lynch's villa and enjoys a high salary. Even her children enjoy the best of everything. She has to show her worth.

She worried that if she did nothing, one day she would be "abandoned" by Lynch.

People will grow old one day. She is so much older than Lynch, so she can't always attract Lynch.

Lin Qi nodded, "As long as you are happy, don't force yourself to be so tired!"

The two of them focused on the little boy and the nanny again. For a few minutes, Vera suddenly said something that Lynch had not expected.

"Garp will be released from prison next year. He wrote to me some time ago, hoping to see the child..."

She never knew how to speak, but after thinking about it, whether Garp was released from prison or whatever happened next, Lynch would definitely know.

Lynch arranged for someone to protect the little boy. Vera was very important to prevent some people from trying to control the little boy and create a situation with Vera, so Lynch arranged for someone to protect their mother and son.

If Garp came to see them, Lynch would definitely know.

Lynch didn't have much reaction to this at this time, but was a little surprised, "I remember his sentence seemed to be ten years?"

As he spoke, he patted his forehead and said, "I remembered!"

It's interesting to say that after Garp was imprisoned, he was in the same prison cell as Mike. Then he obtained some information from Mike, and then passed the information on to Lynch.

In addition, he helped prison staff, including the warden, avoid taxes in the prison, which was unanimously recognized by everyone. The warden took the initiative to inform the Ministry of Justice about Gap's performance in the prison.

The Ministry of Justice reduced Gap's sentence three times after evaluating him in accordance with the commutation rules for prisoners serving sentences.

The original ten-year sentence could be released in just five years. This was not a surprise in the federation. Many prisoners had much more exaggerated reductions than he did.

"If he wants to meet, he can meet. After all, this is his child too." Lynch has nothing to stop him. He is not the child's father, and he has not formed a new family with Vera, so there is no reason to stop him. A father goes to meet a child.

Vera had prepared some explanations and even considered not letting Garp meet the child, but these were all in vain.

Happy times are always short-lived, and that's how it is for a little boy.

After a crazy day at the amusement park, he played almost all the items, which made the little boy more satisfied than ever before!

Especially her mother, Lin Qi, and the nanny were all accompanying him, which made the little boy who had lacked family care and warmth since he was a child feel something called happiness.

In fact, he also knew that his father was about to be released from prison. He and Vera moved to Bupen before because he was subjected to school violence when he was in York State.

At that time, he was still very young and was only in a kindergarten in the community. But even so, some children who were a little older and were not old enough to go to elementary school, or who planned to go to elementary school later, always bullied him and said that he 's dad is a criminal.

Gap's trial was quite sensational at the time, because it was related to the collapse of important pillar companies in Sabine City. Many people knew about it, and naturally the communities where they lived also knew about it.

The adults said it during the day, and when the children heard it, they would impose it on the little boy.

He was almost autistic.

Fortunately, timely relocation reversed this.

In the evening, the four of them dined together in a high-end restaurant. The little boy seemed very well-behaved. He understood better as he got older and knew that the happy life they had now depended on Lynch, so he behaved very obediently.

He had been to restaurants like this many times and knew what to do, but his nanny was a little at a loss.

A young woman from an ordinary family had never been to such a high-end restaurant, and she even had the urge to run away!

She felt out of place with everything here, a feeling she didn't have before entering the restaurant.

Even if she took the salary Vera gave her to take care of this child who was similar to her own son, she never felt that she was inferior, but at this moment, she did.

She shouldn't be here, she doesn't even know where to place her hands.

The sterling silver tableware and crystal cups on the dining table shone charmingly under the lights, the band played relaxing and soothing music, and everyone around looked so special!

You only need to look at them to know that these are what people often call "upper class", but she is not, she may be the only "lower class" here.

She couldn't stand the atmosphere here. She felt like a clown.

The little boy noticed her uneasiness, found the courage to hold her hand, and looked at her with an encouraging and comforting look, as if to say "It's okay" and "I'm here."

This relieved the nanny's tense mood.

The whole meal was very enjoyable, except that the nanny was a little restrained and couldn't let go and didn't eat much. Overall, that was it.

At nine-thirty in the evening, the nanny hugged the little boy and recalled everything she had experienced during the day, which still makes her unable to calm down.

If there is something that makes her unable to calm down, it may be the attitude of rich people towards money!

They are in the best playgrounds, and each project costs at least a few yuan, and at most it costs more than ten yuan or even twenty or thirty yuan.

But for this family, it is not a burden at all. Together with the little boy, she spent thousands of yuan a day.

This money...is enough for his two months' salary!

And dinner exceeded the limit of her knowledge of wealth, eating thousands of yuan in one meal...

Her own children are still racking their brains on how to get two yuan of pocket money from her. This world is really unfair.

She hugged the child in her arms, and the little boy hugged her back.

Vera often works until late at night. When she is not at home, the little boy has an inexplicable fear and needs someone to accompany him, so with Vera's acquiescence, she will sleep with the little boy.

With some confusion, incomprehension, envy and a trace of jealousy, I gradually fell into sleep...
