"Mr. Stone, at that time, many students were knocked down and trampled by many people behind. If I didn't do this, the incident would become even bigger, and I don't want anyone to die because of it. What's more, some people may criticize the government's inaction because of this." Edgar described the main problem, the front is all nonsense, and this sentence is the center.

"Crack", one of the people present slapped his hand on the table vigorously, stood up angrily and reprimanded: "Do you mean that these things are all our fault?"

Edgar calmed down and said calmly: "Sir, I don't mean to criticize. I'm just narrating a thing that might happen, and this thing will no longer happen now."

"So you don't think you did anything wrong at all?" the person just now continued to accuse.

"Of course not, sir. I don't deny that I acted a little impulsively, but I don't regret what I did at all." Edgar was not impulsive, he had thought of all the options in advance, but this kind of thing Naturally, Degas would not mention it, after all, what he wanted to portray was not a person with a deep city background, at least not in front of these politicians.

The person who scolded Edgar wanted to continue talking, but the top senator interrupted him, and said: "Okay, stop talking, don't set up your 'glorious image' in front of the juniors." Because of this sentence Well, the domineering person just now was discouraged and sat down dejectedly.

The senator glanced at the crowd who had no desire to speak, then at Edgar, and turned to Tolson, "What do you think? Assistant boy?"

Tolson was expressionless, and held up the frame of the mirror: "There is an old saying in China that 'people are doing what the sky is watching', so I feel that no matter what I do, I must be worthy of my conscience, and I don't think I am sorry for my conscience. "Although Tolson's expression is actually the same as usual, but there is always a sinister feeling surrounding him.

"Oh? You seem to have a lot of research on China." The senator seemed to be interested suddenly.

Tolson said seriously: "The director taught it."

Thorson's words chilled the audience.

After that, the agenda became a bit boring. From Edgar's mouth, he admitted that he had made a mistake, but he did not regret it. However, Edgar still felt that he should not say more about many things. Telling the truth after processing it is just telling a story.

After the meeting, the group of them was blocked by the reporters surrounded outside. The middle-aged man who had been glaring at Edgar just now did not forget to express his disdain for Edgar. When they found out, they all gathered around.

"May I ask if you are dissatisfied with this incident?"

"May I ask if you have decided to punish the Director of the Investigation Bureau?"

"Which side are you on?"

The one after another questioning by the reporters didn't make the people surrounded by them feel flustered. Instead, they made a silent gesture, and then said: "I can't do anything with my selfishness, but the government will definitely take certain actions to treat certain people. people who have done wrong."

To be honest, what the surrounded man said was completely in line with the ambiguous expression of a government official, but for the scene at this time and the reporter's questioning at this time, his words were obviously aimed at Edgar. Of course the reporter thought that it was certain that Edgar would be punished.

The masses tend to follow the crowd. Once the newspapers or the public say that something is wrong, the masses will often not investigate and directly believe that the matter is wrong. The man who is talking now is thinking the same way, but In fact, the meeting just now did not decide anything at all, and the senator just said it was pending.

"What do you think of him?" Edgar asked Tolson who was standing beside him.

"Insidious, stupid, self-righteous." The first point is to say that what men are doing now is premeditated and cunning, the second point is to say that even if a man has a strategy, he will not succeed, and the third point is to summarize the character of a man.

Edgar laughed: "Yes, I think so too."

In the evening, at Edgar's house, "Al, have you thought about what to write in tomorrow's newspaper?" Edgar held the phone in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.

"Yes, Director, I've already thought it over, what instructions do you have for the next step?" The man on the other side of the phone joked, and Edgar laughed to himself before he could respond.

"Next step? Let's go out and have a cup of coffee on weekends." Edgar knew that if Al said it was resolved, it would be resolved, and there was no need to worry.

"Really." There was the sound of a chair moving from the other side of the phone. It was obvious that the person on the other side stood up a little excited after hearing Edgar's words.

"Are you surprised?" Edgar wondered, but he just came out for a cup of coffee. Al shouldn't be so excited.

"Eddie," the man on the other end yelled into the microphone, "have you forgotten that we haven't seen each other in almost a year? Are you still friends?"

"Has it been a year?" Edgar doesn't remember at all, it's as if they just met in his memory.

"No way? If it wasn't for the fear of disturbing you, I would have killed you a long time ago. Didn't you tell me not to disturb you because you said you were busy? Don't you even remember?" Al's emotions were a little agitated, and he couldn't think of it at all. I have been waiting for Edgar to call to ask him to meet, but Edgar completely forgot.

"It seems to be, I'm sorry, I've been a little busy recently, but it seems that I haven't seen Isa for nearly a year and a half." Edgar has been busy with the internal affairs of the investigation bureau recently, so he ignores his friends who haven't seen for a long time. There are indeed quite a lot of friends, but most of them are because of the recognition of his ability. Al is his childhood friend, and Isa is probably his few female friends.

"Oh, she called to complain. We were all worried that you were working too hard not to disturb you. I didn't expect..." Al said in a heartbroken tone.

"Okay, don't I know you guys yet? You can do well without me at all. I believe our friendship won't fade even if we don't see each other for a long time." Edgar said.

"Of course, because of the financial ties." Al pointed out this point mercilessly. The relationship between them is not simply friendship, but a complicated economic relationship. But also because of this, even if they don't Connections for purely emotional reasons can also be connected for financial reasons or various other reasons.

"Economics is often a good way to connect with feelings. I think pure friendship will not last long." Edgar has never been an emotional person, so he will not make friends who appear purely because of friendship. Unrealistic for Edgar.

Many simple friendships will always be vulnerable due to various reasons such as money, politics, status, and geography, but the relationship that was originally established on the basis of money will become very purposeful, and it will not be easily disrupted , and Edgar has always believed that a person who is bound by emotions will not achieve much.

"Okay, okay, I'm convinced, but I have a very good relationship with you. Although I admit that if we don't have this relationship in terms of money, we might not last that long, but I still think I treat you as a good friend." Friends, don't think of me as a philistine." Al retorted.

"Of course, I believe." Edgar said, but believe it or not, he will still leave room for it, thinking that although Al knows some of Edgar's "friends", but not all of them, after so many years of planning Edgar Jia didn't do it for nothing, his "friends" had already covered almost every field, except for guns and drugs, which were not involved much, but these two aspects had been made up by Tolson at this time.

"Okay," Al felt helpless. Having been Edgar's friend for so many years, he had already understood Edgar's character, so Edgar seemed to have a lack of trust, and Al was almost used to it. Knowing that although Edgar is a little alienated, if something happens to him one day, Edgar will definitely take action, "I'll wait for the next meeting, by the way, don't forget to read tomorrow's newspaper."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Edgar heard a knock on the door and Tolson's voice.

"Please come in."

"Eddie, I need your approval," Tolson said as soon as he entered the door.

Although Edgar expressed doubts, he still said, "Say it straight."

"I need to take a week's leave, and I will leave the matter of the two children to you." Tolson's face was a little anxious, and he was not as expressionless as usual.

"I won't ask you what's wrong, but I hope you will do things properly. It's fine if you don't fall into my hands, but if it falls into my hands, you can do it yourself." Edgar stared at Tolson's eyes.

"Of course," Tolson pulled out a smile, "I won't do anything to confront the Bureau of Investigation. You must know that everyone has a balance in their hearts, and I am no exception. And don't you, Director, don't believe you? Has it had an effect on me? And a good one."

Edgar kept looking at Tolson during the process, and said right after Tolson finished speaking, "Well, I understand, then you can go back."

"Then I'll go first."

As soon as Tolson left, Edgar felt a sense of trance, but Edgar just thought it was a normal reaction to losing a right-hand man, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

After getting dressed, Edgar was about to go out. The two little guys have been studying for nearly a month, and they have achieved some achievements. Now it's time to receive them for the first time.
