Blackstone Code

In front of the TV, a well-dressed and elegant gentleman looked at the tit-for-tat confrontation between Lynch and Euler on the TV and showed some displeasure.

He picked up the phone at hand, dialed a number, and said into the microphone after a while, "Let them change the topic, she has offended so many people, let her ask a normal question like a normal host this time." The problem……"

As he said that, he hung up the phone and continued watching TV.

The phone was right next to him, right next to the couch, and in most home layouts, the phone wouldn't be on the side of the couch, that's not the place to put the phone.

For example, what should I do if the host is receiving guests and a sensitive phone call comes?

Avoidance will make the guests feel that the relationship between them is not good enough, and they have to avoid each other even for a phone call.

Those who are sensitive may feel that this phone call has something to do with them. Maybe some people are talking bad about them, or something else.

Don't avoid it, not all calls can be displayed in front of irrelevant people in a fair manner, and it is also a very bad way to treat callers. It is obviously a private call between two people, but there is an extra first Three parties, this is not a good experience.

So the vast majority of families - here we need to exclude those ordinary families, the reason why they install the phone next to the sofa is more to show off.

In addition to these people, most families will install the phone in a corner farther away from the public area, or find a separate room for arrangement.

From the decoration of this house, it can be seen that the owner of the house is not a poor person. There is a fire burning in the fireplace beside the sofa, and the deer head hanging on the wall above has been old for some years. Its exaggerated horns can always make some the lady screamed.

There are some bear heads, lion heads and some other animal heads on the surrounding walls, which are lifelike. Regardless of the cost of hunting these animals, just making them into exquisite specimens and maintaining them is not a cheap expense.

The decoration in the room, and the several paintings worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands hanging on the other wall, all show that this is not an ordinary family, and the owner should not make such a simple mistake of placing the phone next to the sofa.

But he did it because his job was so busy that he needed to answer the phone anytime, anywhere.

The gentleman is a member of Congress and holds a seat on the Appropriations Committee.

In the federal congressional system, the Appropriations Committee is one of the eight standing committees, and it is a very important institution, responsible for the non-military budget allocation of the dignitaries. It can be said that it has great power.

The old man was one of them, with strong social connections.

The program being played on TV, the host named Ola, is his daughter.

No matter how busy he is, as long as he has time, he will definitely watch this program to express his concern for family members.

But only they themselves know what is going on.

He continued to eat, grilled meat, and grasped it with his hands without being so particular about it. His hands were covered with oil stains. The characteristics he displayed at this time did not look like a big man at all.

There was some light in his eyes, as if he was remembering something.

In fact, it wasn't just him who was reminiscing, Euler on the TV was also caught in some kind of unpleasant memory.

Lynch's words stirred her mind and brought her back many years ago.

When the director of the program group told Lynch Ola that he was not easy to mess with and would provoke the program guests, Lynch took the time to make a phone call to the safety committee.

He is now a special advisor to the Security Committee, and he has the right to read non-permission-level confidential documents-here it should be pointed out that even non-permission-level confidential documents will not be made public to the public.

The confidentiality and declassification mentioned by the federal government have never been related to the public. Only people with special identities can access those unclassified documents and declassified documents.

As for confidential documents, a higher identity and authority are required, and the highest authority is the president himself.

Soon some of the most superficial information that had something to do with Euler entered Lynch's ears, and more, such as herself and her family, were not authorized.

It's not that Lynch's qualifications are not enough, but that according to federal law, no agency is allowed to file and investigate individuals who are in public office, and members of the House of Representatives are also public offices.

This law was enacted to prevent both parties from unrestrainedly using state organs as weapons to attack and harm each other in the process of political strife. This did avoid many problems, but it also created many problems.

It was precisely because of this that Lynch knew that Euler's father was a member of Congress. Lynch could not access the personal information of her and her family members without the approval of a higher authority. However, the Security Committee gave Lynch some additional information. The harvest is that Ola's uncle was sentenced to a severe sentence for indecently assaulting a boy.

What made him even more... a little shocked was that the boy was his own son, Ola's cousin.

After playing, Lynch combined some of the characteristics he observed, so he came to a conclusion.

Of course, this conclusion was not a random guess on his part. There is indeed a group of disgusting perverts at the top of the federation. This has almost become a semi-open secret among certain groups. If Euler's brother was molested and violated, then What about Euler himself?

When Lynch proposed this hypothesis, Euler fell into memory.

That was not a good memory. She didn't feel that way at first. When she was a child, they were used to taking a bath together as a family, and sometimes played some intimate games between father and daughter. It wasn't until she was in her teens that Sometimes, they still take a bath together.

She began to feel uncomfortable and wanted to escape, but she couldn't.

When she was twelve years old, nightmares began to happen. At that time, she already knew what she was going through, so she began to resist.

Her way of resistance is very special, that is, she soils herself. She will excrete, urinate or defecate anytime and anywhere. Sometimes she will hold back and excrete suddenly when needed to avoid harm.

Her methods worked quickly. No one likes a little girl covered in...those things. It's hard to inspire people again even after they're clean. .

So they set their sights on Euler's brother, a boy who was one year younger than her and very handsome.

They tortured him, but he did not resist. Once she secretly found her brother, asked him to resist, and told him how she resisted.

But the boy didn't accept her help. He just looked at her with an expression that always made her think he was being conceited or overestimating his own value, and told her.

If he resisted too, one of them would be unlucky again, and if someone had to bear some pain, he hoped he could share it with his sister.

In fact, Euler didn't want that idiot to pretend to be selfless and take on anything for herself. She was actually deeply hurt at that moment.

The way she soiled herself was in stark contrast to her brother's willingness to suffer in silence to protect him.

She felt that she was ugly and dirty, but her brother, who was supposed to make people feel... was great and clean.

This is also the reason why she cares about her appearance. There are some psychological reasons that cannot be avoided.

Later, her uncle was arrested for threatening to violate his own son, but she knew that every time the people attending such a party were not only her uncle, but also her father, and some people who looked great and very strange. people.

Nothing happened to these people, only her uncle, a very ordinary man, did.

Later, she saw some familiar faces on TV, and she understood why her uncle was the only one arrested.

As for her brother, it was unknown where he went. Some people said he couldn't bear it and committed suicide. Others said they saw him living elsewhere, in a place where no one knew him.

After all these years of harassment, she has almost forgotten those past...

almost!

If Lynch hadn't brought it up, she might have continued to pretend she'd forgotten.

This made her feel scared, but also made her even more angry. She felt like she had been stripped naked by Lynch and exposed in the public eye.

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the audience in the auditorium. In a trance, she seemed to have returned to that day, and heard her father's voice in her ears, "Honey, will you dance for us?"

At this very moment, she came back to her senses and touched her hair subconsciously. Her face was a little pale at first, but soon turned red with anger, "I just asked you some sensitive questions, but But you attacked me and my family in such a vicious way, Mr. Lynch, is this what you learned in school?"

"A chaotic private life and vicious attacks?"

At this time, the director of the program group who came back from the outside took the cue card and wrote some content to show to Euler on the stage. The program has just started. If it is suspended now, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble, so The program had to go on, so he could only convey the congressman's words to Euler through a prompt card.

Euler saw the cue card in the director's hand, and Lynch also saw it. He also smiled meaningfully at Euler. The smiling Euler felt a little uneasy, and at the same time became more angry.

Her childhood experiences made her very strong. She wanted to control everything, and believed that as long as she could control everything, she could control her own destiny.

She had always been able to do it before, and this time she felt she could do it, and she wanted to take back the initiative.

She adjusted her hair, looked at Lynch, and decided not to obey her father's request, "Why, do you think what I said is wrong, Mr. Lynch?"
