Blackstone Code

The night in Bupen is still so beautiful.

Lynch, who arrived at Bupain in the evening, stood on the deck and looked at the night view of Bupain.

The entire Bupen is very prosperous, and the lighting project at night is also very good, even a little excessive.

The sky was dyed with various colors of neon lights, making it black and colorful.

Under this colorful darkness, a huge city is showing its powerful vitality to everyone who lives here!

Except for the west to northwest corner of the city, which seems a bit deserted, other places are so lively.

Over there is the lower town of Bupain, a slum. The Bupain City Hall has discussed demolition with their neighborhood representatives many times.

The city hall and some capitalists are willing to actively compromise and let them move away from there or move to other cities.

But they all refused, or the price they asked for was too high to get people to agree to it.

Over time, Bupen's urban development was readjusted, moving towards the port and southern areas, and the entire city's planning became an inverted "L" shape.

The increasingly prosperous port has made this place a new economic growth point, with many ships docking here every day.

Some are cargo ships, some are ordinary cruise ships, but no matter what they are, they will dock for a while and rest before leaving.

The income of sailors is much higher than that of ordinary workers, and their rest also gives the port a certain consumption potential.

Capital will always pursue profits. As long as there is profit and profits can be earned, capitalists will not mind operating various businesses here.

Lynch raised his watch and took a look. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the port was still bustling.

Vehicles, pedestrians, and pairs of people in open-air business facilities.

Lynch got off the boat and soon saw the man who came to pick him up, Senator Langdon.

"Go get something to eat?" Senator Langdon asked Lynch's luggage to be sent back alone, and he got into Lynch's car.

Lynch's car is bulletproof, but his car is not bulletproof. Sometimes some people think that Lynch's behavior is unnecessary. People who think like this can only say that their status is too low.

Lynch nodded. He realized that Senator Langdon had something to say to him and asked him to choose a position.

Senator Langdon reported the location of a private club and arrived at the reserved location not long after.

After confirming that there was no danger, Lynch entered the room. There was already a person in the room, who looked to be in his fifties and a little haggard.

But he's well-dressed and doesn't look cheap.

When he saw Lynch and Senator Langdon, he immediately stood up from the sofa and came over to greet them.

Senator Langdon introduced Lynch, "This is Senator O'Brien of the Senate..."

When Senator Langdon refers to the Senate, there is no doubt that he means Congress, not the local state houses.

Lin Qi was a little curious, but still stretched out his hand to shake his hand and introduced himself to his home.

For a well-known person like Lynch, many people know his name, but not many people know his specific appearance - for the entire country.

"The chef is ready and the food can be served at any time..." O'Brien looked at Lynch and left the decision to Lynch.

This is also a statement. Sometimes it is really hard to say some words, and Lynch is so young.

No matter how thick-skinned O'Brien is, he can't express his attitude to Lynch too openly.

He had to be more tactful.

Lynch nodded, the three of them sat at the dining table, and the cooks began to serve the dishes.

It's very rich, with more than a dozen dishes, this meal costs at least several thousand yuan.

Lynch was sipping imported dragon blood wood fermented wine while talking about interesting things in Slem.

He kept silent about why Mr. O'Brien wanted to treat him to dinner.

Although O'Brien was anxious, he did not show it. Instead, he catered to some of Lynch's short stories to improve the atmosphere.

He always makes some sighing sounds appropriately and looks very engaged!

Dinner was almost over, and O'Brien kept winking at Senator Langdon, who reassured him with his eyes, and then he proposed to take a rest.

Lynch knew they had something to say, and as O'Brien was a senator in Congress, he was someone who needed to be united.

The reason why he showed such a leisurely attitude was not to reject O'Brien, but to let him understand.

He is not indispensable, and there is no need for Lynch to compromise himself to fulfill him.

As for whether he can understand this, there is no problem in thinking.

The three of them sat down again on the sofa in the living room next to them, and the operator brought coffee and juice.

At this time, Senator Langdon talked about the reason why O'Brien appeared here.

"Senator O'Brien's child got into a little trouble some time ago, and now he is under control..."

O'Brien has a son, twenty-two years old, and his only son.

When this guy was born, O'Brien had not yet completed his positive capital accumulation, so he didn't have much to do after the child was born.

】

He spends most of his time socializing outside and thinking of ways to improve his status in the federal government system.

After years of struggle, he is now a successful senator and has some reliable allies.

But his son, because of the lack of discipline for many years and because of his father's reputation, often acted out.

When Lynch was in Nagaril some time ago, the young man got into a fight with another group of people in a nightclub over a girl.

Both sides called many friends over, but after all, he was the son of a senator. In addition to calling some people who might have gang connections, they also called some law enforcement officers.

They beat each other up and took her to the regional police station. It is said that they even raped the girl who caused all the conflicts in the interrogation room.

Originally, for the federal senators to settle the matter, all they had to do was make a few phone calls.

But I didn't expect that the other party also had a background and was unwilling to compromise. He only had one request, which was to put O'Brien's son in jail and even expose him.

By this time, O'Brien, no matter how stupid he was, had guessed that these people's goal might be him, but he was not sure whether the whole thing was caused by him.

He found some friends, political ones, and some capitalists. He hoped that someone could help make peace.

In fact, he doesn't care whether his son goes to jail or not.

As long as he is still a senator in Congress, even if his son is in prison, he can live a good life in prison.

On the other hand, if he loses his status as a senator in Congress, even if his son is fine, he will not have a good life in the future.

He even considered sending his son to prison to solve the problem himself, but the problem was that it would be easier to deal with only the first half of the matter.

It will be difficult to handle in the second half. As an independent natural person, a twenty-two-year-old jobless young man will definitely not be able to instruct people to riot in the police station.

The only person who could get the people in the police station to cooperate with his son was O'Brien, the senator's father!

This also shows that his son has not abused his rights as a senator once or twice. It can even be said that there is some kind of tacit understanding between father and son!

So once something happens to his son, something will happen to him as well. The people of the Federation, especially the lower class society in the Federation, hate this situation deeply!

He went to many people to no avail, but Senator Langdon gave him a suggestion - maybe you should talk to Mr. Lynch.

So, there was such a meeting.

Lynch listened carefully to Senator Langdon's retelling from a neutral position, and then fell into thinking.

He did not agree immediately, but needed some understanding, "I will call to understand the deeper questions, and then I can give you an accurate answer. It may take two days."

"But don't worry, in these two days, I can guarantee that the situation will not change further."

O'Brien could only keep nodding in agreement.

After Lynch returned home, Senator Langdon did not leave, and they talked about it in the study.

"O'Brien is now forced to have no way out. He was very arrogant before this and was not so gregarious."

"Someone is eyeing his position and wants to get him down. I think we can fight for it."

Senator Langdon lit up a cigarette, "The expansion of congressional seats is very unfriendly to us, and our proportion has dropped again."

"If we can win over O'Brien and add the candidates from Catherine's side, our side will occupy at least six or seven senatorial seats."

In order to completely encroach on the three special states of Nagali, the federal government specifically allowed the three special states to submit lists of members to Congress.

In this way, in fact, there is no difference between the three special states and other states, and they are all part of the federation.

In this way, the number of seats for members of Congress will begin to increase. The exact number of seats has not been determined yet. It was previously said that it would not exceed fifty, but now it is said that it will be more than fifty.

The Senate President revealed privately that, together with the three special states, there are ostensibly twenty states in the federation, and there are about forty-five senators on the list.

It was said before that there would be forty-seven, but now there are some changes on the side of Sardoras, and they also want to join the federal system, so as to provide some convenience for future possibilities.

But for now, the maximum number will not exceed fifty-five.

If out of the fifty-five seats, excluding the Senate President, only four can be occupied, it will not have any effect on the overall situation.

But if they can expand the York Gang to seven or eight people, they will account for about 15% of the Senate seats.

Already able to make a strong voice on key issues!

And after this incident, if O'Brien is not hopelessly stupid, he knows how to position himself!

Lynch supports Senator Langdon's proposal in principle, but the specifics will depend on whether the matter is really that troublesome.
