Life is like this... Strange.

Former director Johnson never thought that he was about to retire, but suddenly he had a new child, a little boy.

He thought he would not feel much about the little boy. After all, he was so old that he could not be a father well. He also saw too many complex and cold sides of society. He would not maintain too much "family affection" with the little boy.

But when he saw the baby holding his fingers and looking at himself, his heart was touched.

He is not a strong man, not a rude man. On the contrary, he sometimes behaves a little... Well, maybe he is weak. In the past, the guys in the Bureau would secretly evaluate him. He is not strong enough, that is, weak?

He also has a very delicate side. At that moment, his inner emotion was ignited by a new life.

A flame that had disappeared from his life for decades was rekindled. After he went back, he had a showdown with his wife and said these things. Now he and his wife are separated.

His wife and other children still live in Saibin city. They have lived there for many years. Life, work, relatives and friends, all necessary contacts with society are there. In addition, they did not follow.

Johnson was the only one living here in the capital, as well as Michael's wife and the little life.

In the early morning, the sun pierced the thick atmosphere and scattered the golden dawn on the ground. Director Johnson slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to go to the nursery to see his children.

Looking at his sweet sleep, Johnson had some uncontrollable smiles on his face. He gently touched the child's small face with his rough fingers.

He didn't know how to describe that feeling. At the beginning, he couldn't feel any touch at all. He was too old. Both flesh and blood and nerves were old. He could hardly feel what his fingers touched.

But now, with the help of some strange forces, he could feel that the soft little face like clouds in the sky was slightly concave under the touch of his fingers.

"You are an angel!" he withdrew his hand, afraid that he would hurt the little guy, and the love in his eyes overflowed unabashedly.

His awakening also woke up the woman sleeping beside him. She stood at the door and looked at Johnson and the children in the crib. Her feelings were somewhat complex and subtle, but generally speaking, at least she and her eldest son could live as they used to.

You can't ask a young woman who has given birth without social experience and skills to find a job, and it's still at this time.

In addition to getting a flesh and blood job and exchanging dignity for money to support themselves and their children, it is difficult for them to do anything else.

Fortunately, there is Johnson.

Little Michael is now transferred to a private school in the capital. Johnson is now a consultant researcher of the State Tax Bureau. With his relationship, a good private school in the capital gave little Michael full financial aid and exempted all his study expenses.

A new environment helps little Michael reshape his personality, as his psychologist said.

When it comes to psychologists, she has to thank her boyfriend Johnson. The combination of power and wealth is like an omnipotent pass in this world. Under the guidance of the new psychologist, little Michael gradually becomes cheerful again, except that sometimes he sits in a daze in front of her dressing mirror.

Maybe Johnson's fingertips made the baby wake up from his sleep, or maybe the light reflected from the clean sky outside the window disturbed him and he began to cry.

The woman immediately went over, unbeknownst to untie the belt on the nightgown and revealed the breakfast. She carefully picked up the child, gave him food and comforted him.

Looking at the mother and son and feeling the pulse of a "family" pregnant with new life, Johnson also had some more smiles on his face.

It would be better if there were no doorbell.

"I'll see who's there..." before he left, he gently closed the door of the nursery, quickly came to the porch and opened the door.

This is a mid-range community, which is inhabited by the social middle class and those public officials working in the government. The community has strong defense and good facilities. He is not worried that someone will find trouble for himself. Those thugs can't even get in.

Just at the moment when the door was opened, his expression solidified slightly, and then disappeared slowly.

"It seems that I'm not very popular." Lynch's smile, like the bright sunshine, is not so dazzling, but golden. "Mr. Johnson, you seem dissatisfied with my arrival?"

"Dissatisfaction?"

"No, nothing. We are good friends, remember, you said!" Johnson took a deep breath and took two steps forward, just in the middle of the door frame.

His behavior meant that he didn't welcome Lynch in. "Let's... Take a walk?" he suggested.

Lynch looked into the house and took back his eyes. There was a woman and a baby in it. He knew this.

Money can solve many things in the Federation, including prying into some secrets that others don't know.

He didn't mean to force Johnson. After nodding, they walked along the road in the community.

"Good morning, gentlemen..."

An oncoming woman looked at Lynch's face for a moment, then said hello, and the two men responded one after another.

Half the boy who was delivering the newspaper on his bicycle had a happy smile on his face. The old man who mowed the lawn on the roadside tried to hold the lawn mower and scolded the dog who wanted to fight the lawn mower as a monster. A middle-aged homeowner not far away was chatting with his neighbor and watering the flowers that were about to bloom in the yard.

Everything is bathed in the sun. It seems that it has become the most beautiful place in the world. There is no worry and sorrow. Everyone is polite, generous and decent

Lynch's attention was taken back from the surrounding environment. He looked at the end of the street in the distance and walked aimlessly forward. "Old fox was captured by the State Tax Bureau yesterday, you know?"

Johnson carried him into the air to prepare for the fall. With such a meal, he fell one step behind Lynch. He followed up and denied, "I rarely go to the tax bureau. I don't have any specific work to do. Generally, we will go there only when others call and need us to go."

"Besides, I almost only go there when I get paid, so I don't know what you said."

Old fox is Lynch's partner. It's no big secret. Almost everyone in Saibin knows the relationship between him and Lynch.

As soon as he heard that old fox had been arrested by the State Tax Bureau, Johnson thought of the case for the first time.

After all, there was so much noise at that time that even the federal administration of Taxation and the cabinet had a voice, and it still happened in his jurisdiction at that time. He could not forget it!

But at that time, trapped by the pressure of public opinion, they finally chose to stop and make peace, but Lynch's disgrace to the tax bureau is a fact and a real thing that happened. Maybe some people will forget, but others will remember.

Now someone wants to settle accounts with them, and now Mr. Johnson, a consultant and researcher, even thinks it's normal.

As one of the most special departments of the Federation, it is vindictive.

There were some strange fluctuations in his heart. Before Lynch could speak, Johnson took the initiative to say, "I really want to help you, but look at me now, I have nothing, even the right to speak."

"So I'm sorry, I can't help you in this matter."

He picked himself out early and didn't want to get involved in the vortex.

Now for Johnson, watching his youngest son grow up and feeling a new growth is his happiest thing.

And he will be able to get 750 yuan a month's pension, which is enough for his family to continue to live here. He doesn't want to regret some problems.

With a smile on his face, Lynch glanced sideways at the old man who was half a head shorter than himself, "no, you can help me. You just need to help me do two things."

Johnson frowned and reiterated, "listen, I..."

Lynch stopped and looked at him. The smile on his face gradually converged, which actually gave people a serious and terrible feeling, "director Johnson, I respect you very much, but I also hope you can respect me. Don't interrupt me before my words are finished, can you?"

He looked directly into Johnson's eyes, which made Johnson feel another kind of pressure. He was silent for a few seconds, moved his eyes, nodded his head, "sorry, I shouldn't interrupt you."

Lynch's smile returned to his face. He continued to walk forward, and Johnson followed him closely.

"I hope you can do two things for me."

"First, help me find out who is behind these things and who is in charge of the work here... Well, this may become two things, but I believe as long as you find any answer, the other answer will naturally appear."

"The second thing, help me send a message to old fox and tell him that I always remember the friendship between me and him. At the same time, I wish our friendship long live."

Lynch said and spread his hand. "Look, there are two simple things. Will you refuse me?"

Obviously Lynch didn't look at Johnson. The latter still felt an uncomfortable feeling, like a look at himself.

In a trance, he felt like a rabbit on a hillside. It was clear that there was a peaceful and beautiful scenery around, but he always had a feeling of panic.

For rabbits, danger comes from the sky.

For him, danger comes from his side.

After almost 17, 89, 20 seconds, Johnson said astringently, "I'll try..."
