Blackstone Code

After Lynch finished what he needed to say, he stood up and left without waiting for Agent Evan to answer.

It doesn't make much sense for him to stay. Instead, it is possible that because of him staying, he will put too much pressure on Agent Evan, causing him to have extreme emotions when thinking about it.

It's all possible, just like when you ask your new girlfriend if she wants to stay the night.

If you just go do something else after asking, maybe she'll give it serious consideration.

But if you keep staring at her, she will think you are forcing her.

Lynch didn't want to put any pressure on Agent Evan, because making friends and cooperating should be enjoyable.

As soon as Lynch left, Agent Evan breathed a sigh of relief, and his senses about Lynch were much better.

Because Lynch didn't force him to give him the answer now, this left room for everything and everyone could face it calmly.

This alone can make Agent Evan have a good impression of Lynch.

He drank the coffee, ate the pancakes, and then left here with the fishing rod he just bought.

He was thinking about this issue along the way, whether to be friends with Lynch.

Lynch didn't force him and gave him more time and space to think, and he began to think about this matter seriously.

Instead of tending to a certain purpose and giving answers without thinking.

The reason why humans are better than animals is that humans can think, summarize, and reflect.

Agent Evan is actually just messing around in the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau. This department has only gradually gotten better after more immigrants have arrived in the past few years.

Like before, those son-of-a-bitch gangs have established a pan-federal gang council semi-publicly. A group of gangsters or evil family leaders sit together to discuss the distribution of criminal business in the coming year. The Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau has not done anything. Been on the move!

It's not that they don't want to go out, they know who the leader of each gang and each family in the Pan-Federal Gang Council is, who the backbone is, and what the main businesses and territories are.

But it is difficult for them to take the initiative. At this level, gangs and families are either backed by big capitalists or politicians with deep backgrounds.

If you touch these people, they will throw a few scapegoats to bear all the blame, and then they will still do what they are supposed to do, and the detective in charge will most likely be implicated.

How could such an investigative agency be such a dynamic place?

He was also young. When he was young, Agent Evan once wanted to make a career, but here, all his pursuits were wasted.

Because there is not much business and performance, it is not easy to appreciate the value.

It doesn't mean much if you catch a small street gang, but you can't attack the big ones casually. The leader and director of the action team have become a springboard for promotion for people with connections in the FBI.

They either retired or went to better law enforcement agencies. They are the only ones at the bottom. They have always been the bottom, and they have always been like this!

Do you want to change?

Taking advantage of the red light, he tilted his head and leaned against the car door to think about this problem.

He is already middle-aged and has no background. If nothing happens, he will be relegated to the second line in another ten years.

Become a file clerk, or be a consultant or something.

Then comes retirement.

This life should be about the same, right?

This was also the life he wanted, to be ordinary, finish work safely, and then sit in the rocking chair at the door like an ordinary old man, watching the sunrise and sunset, and the day passed...

The honking from the car behind suddenly frightened Agent Evan. He was a little angry, but through the rearview mirror, he saw a good car.

He sat in the driver's seat, cursed a few words, put the gear in gear, and stepped on the accelerator.

Life shouldn't be like this.

So peaceful.

So...bland.

Maybe it was the word "director" in Lynch's mouth that activated Agent Evan's ambition, or maybe it was just that the resentment accumulated in daily life had a way to vent. He patted the steering wheel hard and made some decisions in his heart.

When he got home, he hugged his wife and sat on the sofa with her, watching TV as peacefully as they had every day off.

He suddenly asked, "Tell me, would it be better if I could be a team leader, or a director or something?"

His wife was a little surprised and surprised, "Are they going to promote you?"

Agent Evan was a little uncomfortable with his wife's huge reaction. She was not usually like this.

He could only smile and explain, "I mean, if, if they do this, do you think I should agree?"

The woman becomes interested all of a sudden. Sometimes a woman's sense is very keen. She feels that this is not a "what if", but a discussion about the results of the upcoming promotion!

"why not?"

"If you get promoted, your salary will be more, right?"

Agent Evan nodded, "If I can become the leader of the operations team, I can get an extra one hundred fifty to two hundred yuan a month."

"Where's the director?"

He seriously recalled the past chats between him and other people, "About two thousand two hundred and three, which is the basic salary, before tax."

Including various bonuses, benefits, etc., it will be 2,780 per month before tax.

The woman became excited, "No matter what it is, it will be better than now!"

"Listen,...already...you know, we can't let another one be like her."

“We didn’t have any good solutions before, but now we have the ability to send him to college!”

"And these require money."

"Although your salary is not low now, you also know that there is not much left after tax. But if you can be promoted, our burden will be easier in the future."

“I heard that it would be easier to get approved if there are government officials among the borrowers!”

The first child Agent Evan's wife was referring to was their daughter, who finished high school and did not go to college.

She didn't want to go to it, and secondly, universities in Bupen and surrounding areas were very demanding.

In addition to the high demands on students, the cost is also very high.

An ordinary, highly targeted family of law enforcement officers who do not have broad law enforcement powers is not enough for these universities to lower their admission standards or grant them full scholarships.

It is strange that students from some schools are already on the list of full scholarships before enrolling. This may be a typical representative of the federal spirit of freedom and the principle of fairness.

Their eldest daughter now works at a chain restaurant after playing for more than a year.

She met some jerks in society, people who were not gang members, but who were edgy, hip, and a little chaotic at the same time.

They like to have promiscuous sex after getting drunk, or do some other exciting things. They are a group of fanatical supporters of carpe diemism.

Their daughter was also one of them. She was drunk by these people last time, and she didn't know how many people visited her.

If Noel hadn't known about this, she might have become one of the federal missing persons soon——

Some girls will gradually be controlled by these lives and people, and become a tool for them to vent their desires and make money.

Sinking, that’s what it’s like.

They already had an unfortunate child, and they had agreed to send their second son to college.

But the cost is always a headache.

Lynch's Blackstone insurance business specializes in student loans. Some people say privately that it will be easier for government officials to apply for loans, and the interest rates will even be lower!

Some are more like...interest-free installment payments, which is enough to tempt many people.

This is also one of the main reasons for the rapid expansion of Blackstone Insurance. Its main customer group is not ordinary people, but government officials!

Of course, due to its good reputation and its association with Lynch’s university, some wealthy people in the middle and lower classes are also its loyal users!

Agent Evan's wife fantasizes about everything that will happen after his promotion and salary increase. She talks about it in fragments and not as a whole.

This also let Agent Evan know that many things in the home needed to be replaced, such as some old and dangerous household appliances.

For example, the heating effect is not as good as before, and the heating boiler has a history of 13 years.

For example, the electric iron is either not hot enough or too hot. Now when Agent Evan's wife irons clothes, she has to put two more layers of something on top of the clothes to insulate them from overheating!

Agent Evan fell silent as she counted the appliances that needed to be replaced and the things that needed to be spent.

He didn't know that so many things needed to be replaced. He thought everything was the same as before.

At the same time, he also understood that all this was because his wife was unwilling to put a greater psychological burden on him.

Not long ago, he actually spent money to buy a fishing rod. He suddenly hated himself!

Agent Evan's silence made his wife, who was full of beautiful illusions about the future, gradually stop her "update plan."

She sat next to him, holding his hand, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she just hugged him and patted his back gently, "Everything will be fine, don't put too much pressure on yourself..."

The next morning, Agent Evan entered the garage carrying fishing gear and a newly purchased fishing rod.

He looked at the second parking space with some debris piled next to it for a few seconds.

He said to himself as if talking to himself, "It's time to buy a station wagon. We can hang out together sometimes."

Soon he drove the only car in his family and left here, heading to a lake outside the Bupen Ring.

There are campsites around the lake, and people usually come here to camp, so there are also some phone booths here.

He fished for a while, then put away his tackle and put it back in the car.

He had bad luck today and was not paying attention to it, so he caught several fish during this period.

After putting his things away, he didn't get in the car and leave. Instead, he went to the nearest phone booth.

After entering the phone booth, he closed the door and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

He took out a coaster from his pocket, a coffee shop coaster, paper, with a phone on it.

He dialed the number. When someone answered, he lowered his head slightly and said softly in a meek voice——

"Mr. Lynch, I am willing to serve you!"
