Blackstone Code

Garton's ideas were very pragmatic. He didn't want to do a great cause right away. Instead, he wanted to travel around and see.

He was indeed excellent, and he proved it, but it was a pity that Mr. Simon did not see it.

If he had seen it, maybe he would have changed his attitude towards Garton and no longer be so indifferent.

But he couldn't see it after all.

Garton's idea suited him very well. Lynch told him that if he had any trouble, he could call him and go outside for a walk.

Traveling, or just walking around, doesn't require him.

This is the most basic life, and it is also a process for Garton to integrate into federal life.

In the past, he was a privileged class, and he could do nothing and pretend everything revolved around him.

But now that he fell from the clouds and stood on the ground again, he had to experience it himself.

Buy a ticket, line up, and wait.

Over the weekend, the atmosphere around the world was extremely serious, but in the Federation, there was still no sense of tension at all.

Agent Evan spent the last two days in trepidation, and news came from Noel that Lynch would see him on Saturday morning.

As an agent of the Anti-Organized Crime Bureau, it was not a wise decision to take the initiative to approach Lynch, who had many connections with criminal groups.

Fortunately, Agent Evan had not shown any tendency before, and the annual internal review had been successfully passed, so no one would keep an eye on him all the time.

But even so, he still needs to pay attention to it. It's better not to be discovered.

Once discovered, there will definitely be an unforgettable memory!

On Saturday morning, Detective Evan came to a comprehensive shopping mall in Bupen Central.

This kind of comprehensive shopping mall is very common in Bupen and even the entire federation. Federal people have a very special characteristic - laziness.

This characteristic is reflected in the fact that they will never stand if they can sit, and they will never sit if they can lie down.

The easiest piece of furniture for federal people to replace is the sofa. Every sofa records evidence of a family member's laziness!

They would rather have a group of people crowded on a sofa, and no one would want to sit on a chair!

If they cannot buy everything in one place, then the federal people will choose a place where they can buy the most items on the list at one time, and then extend the remaining items that need to be purchased elsewhere to future shopping.

They will not travel back and forth between several shopping locations, which has also made comprehensive shopping malls and supermarkets become mainstream.

Most people’s shopping needs can be met here. Whether it’s household appliances, water and electricity pipes, algaecide, herbicides, or cribs, you can almost buy them all in one place!

There are also places for people to rest, coffee houses, small restaurants, and water bars. The one-stop shopping experience serves the laziness of federal people and makes them even lazier!

Agent Evan bought a new fishing rod. He enjoys fishing, although he doesn't spend much time fishing.

This is actually the case for many people. They may not have much time to deal with their hobbies due to work or other reasons.

But they will still buy some things related to their hobbies. Even if they don't use them, just leaving them there is a kind of satisfaction for them.

Agent Evan already has twenty or thirty fishing rods in his storage room, but he will still buy one when he sees one he likes.

After buying the fishing rod, he went to a quiet coffee shop on the third floor and saw Lynch in the corner.

There are some green plants around the booth where Lynch is, which makes it difficult for people outside to easily see the people inside.

But people inside can easily detect if anyone is approaching from outside.

Agent Evan took a deep breath, encouraged himself, and walked inside.

"Please sit down..."

Lynch's voice was gentle, not as sharp and aggressive as Agent Evan imagined, or deep and stressful.

His voice is very gentle, no different from that of an ordinary teenager, with a little more magnetism that a man should have, that's about it.

Agent Evan was a little at a loss, but he quickly suppressed his racing heart and sat on the booth opposite Lynch. He hesitated for two seconds and said "thank you."

Thank you for what?

Thank him for inviting you to sit down?

He felt a little stupid.

Lynch looked at Agent Evan in front of him, a very ordinary middle-aged federal man.

He has a relatively conservative middle-aged male hairstyle, an unassuming beard, and his eyes are not aggressive.

He seemed very quiet, not like some people at the bottom of society who always want to say something to lighten the atmosphere at this moment.

After observing for a while, Lynch thought this was a fairly qualified partner. He didn't like people with strong subjective ideas or greedy people.

The former can already be discovered, while the latter requires further exploration.

Greedy people will not only destroy themselves, but also those around them.

"He told me that you and he are good friends." Lynch replaced Noel with a "he" whose identity was hidden.

The federal government is like this. Even if there is a tape recorder recording everything he said, and everyone knows that the "him" he is talking about is Noel, legally this cannot be used as evidence against him for conspiring with Noel to corrupt federal officials.

Because "he" can be many people, Lynch must say the directional name "Noel" before what he says will have actual legal significance.

Evan nodded, hummed, and said no more, he didn't know what to say.

Lynch could feel his pressure, and his voice became gentler, "I have known them for a long time, ten years."

"At that time, they didn't understand the world well enough, and sometimes they acted very stupidly."

"I watched them grow up, and I'm not that much older than them, but you know, sometimes from my perspective, they're my brothers, but they're also like half my children."

"This is a very complicated feeling. I hope everyone can live well and that everyone is free from pain and injury, but I know it is difficult."

"There will always be people who want to hurt us just because we are better off than we were in the past!"

Lynch's words had a different kind of magic under the plain narrative, which attracted Agent Evan's attention, and he was gradually attracted by what Lynch said.

"Some people think it's a miracle that we have what we have today, but I know it's not."

"If it is, then it is also a man-made miracle!"

"Me, and the people who were willing to help me, we created this miracle together."

"I am not a stingy person. I often say this to others. I also know how to be grateful. Every friend who has helped me is doing well."

"Perhaps you have noticed that if the media wants to embarrass me, they can only bring out my private life. They can't even find a place to attack me from other places!"

Lynch said as he picked up the coffee and took a sip.

The coffee was delicious, typical federal coffee with a little coffee in the milk and a lot of sugar.

But I have to say that it is really delicious to drink like this, in terms of taste stimulation.

Lynch took a small sip and then put it down.

Sugar is the first enemy that tests human self-control. Only by defeating it can we go further.

Agent Evan thought about what Lynch said. He vaguely understood something, but he didn't seem to understand it completely.

Lynch put down the coffee cup and pursed his lips, "I want to be friends with you, Mr. Evan."

Agent Evan's heart beat violently, and he felt very uncomfortable. This feeling came and went quickly, in the blink of an eye!

The heart discomfort just now seemed like an hallucination. He touched his chest and forced a smile, "I don't understand, Mr. Lynch, is there anything I can do for you?"

He really couldn't figure out this problem. He was just an ordinary agent and had not even become the leader of the action team.

In the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, he is just an ordinary agent with little sense of presence.

Going to work on time every day, leaving get off work on time, working overtime occasionally, obeying the orders of the action team leader, and obeying the requirements of his superiors, he felt that his life was like a symbol!

If it weren't for his daughter, he wouldn't even say a word to Noel!

Why would Lynch take a fancy to such an extremely ordinary person?

This is Agent Evan's biggest confusion. What value does he have for Lynch?

Lynch smiled, "I understand your confusion, but you have to understand that making friends is not about what you can do for me or what I can do for you."

"It's a kind of..." Lin Qi tilted his head slightly, "...Well, I think you can be my friend, then you are definitely suitable!"

"As for what you said you could do for me, I actually don't care too much."

"It's true that you can't do anything for me now, but I believe that with your potential, one day you can do something for me."

"For example, after you were promoted to director?"

By the time Lynch left, Agent Evan's mind had been buzzing, and Lynch's words kept rolling, vibrating, and colliding in his mind!

Director?

Head of the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau?

His heart beats a little faster, and he behaves peacefully at work and in life.

To put it bluntly, I have no ambition and never strive to be the best in anything I do. Instead, I am very dogmatic and mechanical and just do not violate the rules.

It is like a piece of smelly salted fish. If you say it is food, no one will want to eat it, but when you have nothing to eat, you can use it to support yourself.

One more is not too much, one less is not too much.

He once had dreams and fantasies, but these were smoothed away with age and experience.

Not everyone can be chief, just like not everyone can be president.

They tell you that everyone has a chance. If you believe it, you are stupid!

But at this moment, he had never been as sure as he was now.

As long as he reaches out!

He can definitely do it!
