The director of the federal revenue service in Sabin has a very humble name called Johnson.

Johnson did not have any prominent background. In the past, when people still believed that ideals could be realized as long as they worked hard, as long as they dared to work hard, as long as they had courage, and a little luck, it was not difficult to stand out from the crowd.

But today, if there is no other help, the director of the Inland Revenue Department of a second tier city is the end for Johnson.

What he has to consider now is how to keep his highest pension and make his last few years less painful.

Many people will think that the director of the federal revenue service, although only the director of a small city, should also be a secret rich with a large number of deposits and real estate. In fact, he won't.

The lives of the vast majority of federal officials who can stay at the top are much poorer than people think. On the contrary, the income of those real grass-roots staff and front-line personnel is more complex.

Where does a grass-roots administrative staff who sits in the office all day and has been included in the inspection list of the Ministry of supervision get some black income?

However, there are all kinds of donations and social welfare, which are legal income.

The high salary and top social insurance given to them by the federal government is to minimize their negative impact on their work and become the minions of some people.

Of course, this does not completely mean that Johnson is a poor man. Sometimes poverty is not only a description of wealth, but also a description of power.

In a word, he is more than the top and the bottom. It would be better if he could keep his pension.

At this time, he was very upset. The joint action of the Federal Bureau of investigation and the federal tax bureau ended in failure, which also meant that he could not calm the current situation quickly. Once he was really angry, his life would not be very easy in the future.

Now he regretted his connivance to Michael. It was precisely because he was about to retire and didn't want to offend others. He gradually developed the shortcomings of these people.

Just as he scratched his ears and cheeks, the telephone rang. He frowned. From the signal light, he could see that this was an outside line. Since he could pass through the Secretary, it must be necessary to answer it.

He took a few deep breaths, calmed the fluctuations in his heart, and then mentioned the phone

A little later, director Johnson and the old woman in the family got angry. They had dinner in the evening and didn't eat at home.

He and his children live together in a community next to Michael. The environment is slightly worse than Michael's community, which mainly refers to greening and the overall supporting facilities of the community, but it is better that the house is large and can accommodate more people.

Thinking about these worries, he drove to the warehouse area far from the city center and stopped by the roadside not far from the warehouse area.

Ten meters away from him, there is a barbecue shop. The barbecue shop only serves three things, meat patties made of ground beef, whole wheat meal bags and some fresh vegetables.

There is no original cut beef here. People in the warehouse area can't afford it. Most of them are meat patties made of ground beef that Lynch ate when he lived with Catherine.

Some other things are added to the patty, such as complete wheat kernels, some nuts that are about to expire, and some worthless things.

Just after dinner, the barbecue shop is still overcrowded. Ninety eight percent of a piece of barbecue cake with full weight, plus a share of vegetables. The meal package is free and unlimited, which solves the nutritional supply needed by the blue straps after their heavy work.

Almost all the blue straps in the warehouse area have dinner here, which also makes this unlicensed barbecue shop very famous nearby.

Johnson is not used to the environment here. Everywhere is full of the sour smell of sweat and other odors he can't say. After all, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After a day's hard work, he won't be fragrant.

He looked around, and the blue straps deliberately kept a distance from him. Everyone could see that his suit was not cheap. They didn't want to lose ten days and a half months or more because of their carelessness.

Soon, he saw Lynch. Lynch waved to him and asked the boss for a meat pie and a meal bag.

"Is this what you said about dinner?", director Johnson didn't look very good when he sat down. Lynch called him out to talk about recent events. He was vaguely aware of something.

Originally, he didn't want any compromise with Lynch. Michael was so miserable and the tax bureau didn't look good on his face, but now the pressure is really too great. He can only choose the option he doesn't want to choose. Maybe this is a sign of maturity.

Although he chose to be mature, he can still keep his attitude towards Lynch. There is no conflict between the two.

Lynch shrugged, tore up the meal bag in his hand, wiped some meat sauce on the plate with it, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and then swallowed it.

He rubbed his fingers, let some bread crumbs fall on the table, picked up a knife and fork, ate a piece of minced meat cake, smiled and said, "it's not as unbearable as you think, you can try."

Just then, the landlady, a woman in her forties, threw her plate on the table a little rudely, and a small basket of meal bags.

Director Johnson took a silent look at the landlady who turned directly and then at Lynch. Finally, he bit his teeth and tore up a meal bag like Lynch.

When the meal bag with gravy and sauce was eaten by him, there was nothing he thought was difficult to swallow. These flavors and the tenacious taste of the whole wheat meal bag gave the food another unexpected delicacy.

He picked his eyebrows, picked up his knife and fork, cut a piece of meat cake and put it into his mouth. It may not be as good as those high-quality steaks for nine or thirty-nine dollars, but they are also quite fresh and juicy. There are even more changes in taste, and they are not unacceptable food.

As they ate, they chatted. There were noisy voices around them. No one passed by them. Even if their voices were louder, it was difficult for others to hear them clearly.

"I called you with sincerity. From the beginning, I was just a victim, if you know what happened."

Lynch's words forced director Johnson to nod and say that he did understand that Michael wanted to win fox as a merit for promotion in order to achieve a good political achievement, which involved Lynch. No matter whether Lynch had committed an illegal act or not, at least he was innocent so far, but Michael was always pestering him.

As soon as he nodded, he had the basis to continue talking. While eating, Lynch continued, "you know, I'm timid and afraid of things. A reporter suggested that I sue you, but I gave up. It's not the best choice to treat hatred with hatred. I chose tolerance..."

Johnson looked at the shameless guy who was still waiting for his reaction and smiled against his heart. "Yes, you are very generous."

Lynch smiled with satisfaction. "Yes, I am a generous person. I used to be, and I am now. I don't want to worry about some problems between us because of Michael. I also actively want to solve them. I have a proposal. I don't know if you are interested."

Director Johnson quickly ate the meat pie and finished the terrible dinner. He glanced at the napkins with some stains on the table. Finally, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "you say..."

"As far as I know, there are other people in Saibin who are laundering money. Their methods may be......" a helpless smile flashed on Lynch's face, "... Be stupid. Maybe you should target them."

Director Johnson frowned slightly. "Even if I catch them all, I can't calm the current situation."

Lynch almost finished his dinner. He picked up the last meal bag, wiped the gravy and sauce from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth. The poor life made him grateful for every food.

While puffing his cheeks, he said, "it's just a problem between Michael and me. It's a private feud and should not rise to the level of public attention. You have excellent results in your hands. With such a foundation, people will patiently listen to you explain that all this has nothing to do with the tax bureau. In addition to little Michael's case, maybe Michael is just taking revenge for public and private...", He said here and smiled. His hands crossed naturally, his thumb against his jaw, and looked at director Johnson. He believed that the old man knew what he was talking about.

In the first ten seconds, director Johnson still looked thoughtful, and there was a trace of impatience, but soon his face began to change, and he understood Lynch's meaning.

He knows that Michael's son was arrested in the police station for a burglary. It is said that he has pleaded guilty and began to serve his sentence in advance. If the causality and time of the matter are reversed and Michael's behavior towards Lynch is regarded as his behavior to save little Michael from going to prison, the whole thing will change.

To put it simply, little Michael first broke into the house and stole Lynch's ring, and Lynch also called the police. Michael knew about it and wanted to erase it, so there was a private contradiction and conflict with Lynch. His later beating Lynch had nothing to do with his identity, whether the tax bureau and other federal departments had too much law enforcement power, This is an isolated incident. His purpose does not need anyone to explain. Everyone guesses that he must want Lynch to withdraw the lawsuit.

A government official knew the law and broke the law. In order to cover up his child's crime, he did not hesitate to force the plaintiff to shut up by means of violence

Looking at the gradual change of director Johnson's face, Lynch knew that director Johnson had figured it out. He also whispered, "this is murder!"

For a moment, director Johnson's mind was confused. Yes, he really hated Michael now. This day-to-day disgraced him and threatened his later life, but should he be so cruel?

He knew that everything was false, but sometimes the people didn't know. With the help of people with intentions, Lynch, as a victim, his words were the most recognized by the people. He stood up and cooperated with the federal government's determination to calm public opinion. Mikel will inevitably become the target of thousands of people.

Just... Is it too cruel to use the future of a person or even a family as a chip?

Looking at the hesitant director Johnson, Lynch whispered, "You are a good man, sir, but you should also know the seriousness of the matter. On the one hand, you are the head of the investigation team with a lot of bad deeds, which makes you and the citizens of Sabin worry. On the other hand, there are many law enforcement departments of the whole Federation and criminals who are celebrating. Sometimes it is difficult for us to make a decision, but we have to make a decision..."

"One, or all, it's not difficult!"
