Seeing Ed suffocate to death bit by bit in the wilderness, Kevin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
On the beach chair under the umbrella, while sipping frozen juice, he criticized the execution method that Du Lin gave Ed, which seemed a bit... too exciting.
"You know, at the moment of the car accident, time seemed to slow down very, very slowly. I always thought that what was presented to us in novels and movies were all artistic techniques, but I finally believed it. At that moment, time seemed to slow down. It was so slow that I could even see a piece of car paint slowly drifting past my eyes, but there was nothing I could do!" Kevin put down the cup and talked to Dulin about his feelings when he was hit.
"I watched with my own eyes that big truck with a row of headlights hit my body. I saw the door was dented. I wanted to struggle and leave, but my body couldn't keep up with that moment. My consciousness. I knew that I might die... no, I would definitely die. There was no way I could survive such an impact. My first thought at that time was what if I couldn't get out. It would be nice if something could hold me in my seat!”
"I want to thank God. He responded to me. Although he paid the price that I might become a lame in the future, he saved my life. What I want to do most now is to find a church after I recover. I want to be a cripple." Lamb of God!" he said, crossing himself. "Thank you, God Almighty!"
"I'm very sorry to interrupt..." Dulin waved his hand, and the two young men walked towards Ed's body. They had to put him down and then find a place to burn it. They couldn't leave too much behind. Evidence, "If you believe in God, that old man, what will happen to your devil's master? Everyone knows that you are the devil's spokesman and a devil believer with pus on the soles of your feet."
Kevin couldn't help laughing and said, "Those are two different things. You know, faith has nothing to do with making money. Faith means that I have converted to God. This is my spiritual destination. And making money is my means of making a living." , is my pursuit of material things. Can material things be confused with spiritual things?" He spread his hands and showed a very regretful expression, "Of course not!"
"But I heard that if you convert to God, you can't do bad things, otherwise God will not only not bless you, but also punish you."
Kevin was stunned for a moment. As a top student with both good character and academic skills, he actually didn’t know much about these fascinating things. He asked, “Are you sure?”, and then said nonchalantly, “Forget it, I will.” I think it’s better to enjoy the happiness of reality. When I am about to die, we will discuss the issue of faith.”
Looking at the fire burning in the distance, he shook the handle of the beach chair and flattened the beach chair, "Okay, you can take me back."
Dulin asked someone to start the truck, and while he and others were carrying Kevin, he asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"What to do? Of course it's revenge. I'm the greatest lawyer in the empire. I almost died in my hometown. Do you know how angry I am now?! Don't worry, I will use legal and reasonable methods to get them to this time. Understand that the key to murdering a lawyer is the consequences after the lawyer has not been killed by them. I will make their family unable to even wear pants and make them hate what those two bastards did for the rest of their lives!”
In this society, there are many "incorrect" behaviors that are regarded as unspoken rules. For example, when telegraph office staff install and use telephones, they do not need to pay any installation and usage fees. They only need to pay Just buy yourself a phone. For example, employees in movie theaters and their families can watch movies free of charge, as long as they do not occupy the seats of ticket buyers. For another example, employees of the Electricity Bureau do not need to pay for using electricity. Not only do they not need to pay, but they can also make big purchases within their jurisdiction. In this era where it is easy to tamper with the meter box, electricians have a great job. career.
For another example, some officials do not need to pay taxes.
Government officials and military officers like Alex and Ed, who and their family relatives do not need to pay a penny in taxes, and can enjoy the benefits and policies brought about by other taxpayers paying taxes, can be found at There is no provision in imperial law that officials should not pay taxes. This can make these people lose money so much that they can't even put on their pants. It is difficult to collect taxes, especially from this wealthy class. At the same time, they should be big taxpayers, but now they don't have to pay a penny.
If the State Administration of Taxation knew about this, it would probably cooperate with Kevin's actions, thus giving those officials a wake-up call and telling them that it was almost time to pay them.
After sending Kevin back to the ward to continue recovering from his injuries, Du Lin left with Du Fu. Before leaving, Du Lin also asked Du Fu what he thought. He didn't want to stay here because it didn't belong to him. This period of life has made him realize that the gap between himself and Vivian is too big.
Before he really got involved in Vivian's life, he had no idea that before eating, the chef would prepare a bowl of lemon "soup" that seemed very delicious for washing hands. He thought it was for drinking. He didn't know that it would take more than an hour for the two of them to have a meal together. There were almost twelve dishes in total. Each dish would not be finished. Sometimes he would see Vivian only take a small bite, and then Dishes worth more than ten yuan were sent back to the kitchen.
Sometimes the servants would eat it, and sometimes they would just throw it away.
Every detail in life has an inexplicable sense of ritual, as if this kind of life is the real aristocratic life. They live in the eyes of others, but Dufo just wants to live out his own life. Completely different worlds are reluctantly put together. There is no other way except violent collision. Perhaps it is easier for him and Vivian to live together as strangers who are most familiar with each other. As for the child, he will return it to Vivian, but only when the child needs to go to school.
He hopes that his child can have a perfect childhood, instead of sitting in a certain room and letting a group of tutors tell him how to place his hands and how much to raise the corners of his mouth. That is not for this age. Children should enjoy it. Children of this age should crawl around in the mud and then go home and have their butts beaten until they bloom. They should climb high and be challenged to explore the joy of nature.
Vivian seemed to know that such an ending would be good for both of them. Apart from saying goodbye, she did not try to retain Dufo. Everyone has their own trajectory, and now they should return to their own trajectory.
As for the shocking case of Ordo
That has nothing to do with them!
After returning to Otis City, Dover expressed surprise that such a big change had taken place during his absence, especially the collapse of Colliers, which surprised Dover, "If he is finished, what will happen to our railway?" manage?"
He was sitting on the sofa in Dulin's office, munching fresh fruit. The changes in the city were evident both in large aspects and in small details. When he and Du Lin first came here, the apples were dry and had little moisture. If they were left in the sun for a few days, they could be made into dried fruits. But look at now, these fruits are so tender that you can squeeze out the water. This is a change, this is something new brought about by the development of Otis City.
"I let the federal people be in charge now, don't worry about this." Dulin signed a document, and the city's public transportation operating rights were approved. After the demise of Chester, Dulin could only be shortlisted by the other two choose among companies. It’s just that his appetite has been fed by Chester, so he requires the city hall to have certain management rights and complete supervision rights. Although both companies have given an unacceptable attitude on the surface, they have submitted privately. A new plan has arrived.
Du Lin chose one of the companies with good sincerity and signed it. After the other party gets the approval of this document, they can start working on it. It may take half a month to see brand-new buses running on the roads of Otis City, but it's not far away, isn't it.
He closed the file and continued to explain: "After Colliers fell, he left too much territory and also lost the most powerful position against federal businessmen. If those from the federation want to come in, they will definitely need something. Even if the United Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. cannot complete the project, other federal people will take the initiative to support them in completing the project. When it comes to the power of capital, it is obvious that the capitalists in the federation know better the rules and gameplay of the capital game. "
As a bridgehead to open up an industry, the federal government will not let this railway plan become a thing on paper no matter what. Even the federal government will take the initiative to help them and provide them with the most convenient conditions to enter this market. This is the strongest guarantee. They need a bridgehead to attack the empire, and Dulin needs the most favorable project, so they can naturally cooperate together.
Business and political matters have never been Dufo's strong point. Du Lin explained it casually and he believed it. Then he asked about another thing, "I heard that Frena was sent to school by you. "?" After he said this, he suddenly wanted to laugh. Frena was two years older than Du Lin and one year older than Du Fu. She was still going to school. He couldn't bear the thought of an aunt among a group of young students. Live happily.
"She needs further education to improve her abilities. She is different from us. As long as we can still hold a gun and pull the trigger, we have the ability."
"She can't do it. It's not just her. Everyone except us must catch up with the pace of this era, otherwise we can only be eliminated!"
"It's not that I want to eliminate them, it's that the times want to eliminate them!"
Du Lin put down his pen without a trace of smile on his face.
