Chapter 1290: Response

When President Porter heard this news, he didn't react for a while. After about ten seconds, he took a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it for himself, took two puffs, and then asked somewhat uncertainly, "You mean, that bastard Little Porter killed someone in Luli again."

"And he is trying to rape a married woman, in their apartment, in front of her husband?"

President Porter couldn't help laughing as he said it himself. He turned his head to look at the staff around him, and then looked at his son sitting on the side with a blue face, as if he had heard a funny joke.

"This is really damn—", he took a deep breath, still with a smile on his face, but his eyes were a bit bad, "—too interesting for me."

"Look, he can always create a disaster that I can't even think of in places we can't expect!"

"At that time, you should have really shot him in the toilet and flushed him into the sewer, instead of letting him grow up so big!"

Mr. Porter Jr. sat on the side with an embarrassed face. Little Porter's wicked personality can be considered the result of his indulgence in some aspects.

Like his father, President Porter, Mr. Porter Jr., as a political participant he thought was still suitable, didn't pay too much attention to family affection.

Little Porter performed well, he would cultivate him well.

If he didn't perform well enough, there were other young people in the family.

For people like them, as long as the power belonging to them is in their own hands, they won't care about the situation of others.

If one day he loses the power in his hands, whether it is the official position of the federal government, the position in the party, or the status in the family, then these things are passed on to whoever.

His son, or his nephew, for himself, there is no big difference. Losing is losing.

President Porter also considered this before, until he became president.

After becoming president, he changed some ideas, hoping that his son or grandson could inherit his political legacy, but the purpose of this idea was not to pass on power, but to use the successor as his son or grandson to continue to indirectly maintain his influence in politics.

This is like the gap between "the president is my son" and "the president is my nephew." Although both are relatives, separated by such a layer, in fact, it is separated by a very, very long distance.

It's just that from now on, Little Porter has no value to be used at all. President Porter is already very disappointed.

He took another puff of smoke, and only his laughter and the sound of smoking were in the room.

After another ten seconds, the smile on his face converged a lot, "Then, is this bastard caught by the police now, waiting for us to save him from there?"

His nephew immediately explained, "Little Porter was not caught on the spot, and the person who knew his identity also escaped the police's sight and hid."

President Porter raised his eyebrows. He looked at Mr. Porter Jr. on the side, "This is good news. At least this time he learned the lesson from last time. He ran away at the first time after killing someone, and the person who knew his identity was also smart and was not caught by the police."

"That is to say, now people only know that a 'foreigner' did these things, and it is not certain who it is, right?"

Little Porter's uncle nodded, "That's it, Mr. President."

He likes people to call him "Mr. President," not "Father" or "Uncle" or something like that.

He sat there thinking for a while, "Arrange someone to take the blame, and then I will let the Secretary of State contact the official side of Luli, deport this person back, and this matter will end here."

He continued to look at his son, "Arrange a few people to watch him, just like dealing with those disobedient cats and dogs, find a trainer to watch him."

"After the rotation ends in half a year, bring him back, and then imprison him. I'm tired of him giving me a problem at every turn."

Mr. Porter Jr. lowered his head, "I have already arranged it."

This son also made him very passive. It is indeed impossible to let him continue to freely exert his destructive ability. Sooner or later, he will create a problem they cannot clean up.

President Porter took another puff of smoke, and then threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, "The mid-term election is at the end of next year, although there is still about a year or so."

"However, gentlemen, we can not prepare for the mid-term election so long in advance, but we must guard against someone bringing us these unplanned risks before the election begins."

"Before I step down from the position of president, I don't want to hear any news about this bastard causing trouble for the Porter family!"

"Also—", he looked at Mr. Porter Jr., "Find that insider, confirm that he won't bite randomly."

Mr. Porter Jr. nodded again to take on this job. As the "Federal National Security Agency," protecting the president's correct position in public opinion is also one of the national security tasks.

"I will ensure that this matter is foolproof."

President Porter seemed to think of something, "You'd better keep your word!", the things Mr. Porter Jr. promised last time were not realized. It seems that both father and son have the same problem.

After this small closed-door meeting within the family ended, Mr. Porter Jr. returned to where he worked, and then drew a group of elites to Luli to prepare to kill the guy named "Pipi."

Yes, in his view, the only insurance way to ensure that he doesn't reveal Little Porter's identity information is to make him shut up completely.

The insider is dead, then this is a real secret!

This matter happening in Luli is actually not under the gaze of the Federation's top level. Neither the Liberal Party nor the Socialist Party has been idle enough to pay attention to a criminal case happening in other countries.

But the problem is that there are also Socialist Party people in Mr. Porter Jr.'s National Security Agency.

Just like there is no lack of some Liberal Party people and Federal Party people in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The political arena of the Federation has long achieved the degree of you in me and me in you.

So soon this news was transferred to Senator Cleveland, the current leader of the Socialist Party Senate camp in Congress, through the route of Socialist Party people in the Security Agency.

After he put down the phone, he felt a bit—funny. They had already grasped a secret about President Porter, a factual evidence that the Porter family killed a family to wipe Little Porter's ass.

Now Little Porter sent them another opportunity that could be used. If this matter causes a relatively bad diplomatic impact, causing the Federation's image to be damaged worldwide, President Porter will be very difficult to win in the mid-term election, and they have a chance to push the Socialist Party to win again.

Thinking of this, he called Tang Mu over, "What is Lanse's phone number in Lapa?"

Tang Mu immediately pulled out the small notebook he used to record phone numbers, which had four full pages recording dozens of contact methods for Lanse.

He quickly found Lanse's phone in the Zhuolan Manor and office, copied it on a piece of paper, and handed it over.

"I don't know when those scientists can fix a phone to contact the people we want to contact, instead of recording dozens of numbers for this!"

Senator Cleveland said with a smile, "If they can fix it, that would be great."

He said, picked up the phone, didn't let Tang Mu go out, and dialed Lanse's number directly.

Lanse was still in Zhuolan. Mo Lisi's situation recovered well. The doctor believed that he would soon return to normal life, but there were some places that needed attention.

Besides him, Lanse also asked the doctor to do some examinations and treatments for Hailamu. In fact, the technology for eardrum repair surgery is not complicated. The troublesome place is the material problem.

Only good materials can restore hearing, and the materials on the market now have limited help for restoring hearing.

Doctors said they are trying to find suitable autologous things from the human body as materials to perform tympanic membrane repair, which still needs some time.

At most one or two years, because there are a large number of consumables locally, they can study these things to their heart's content.

Compared to organ transplantation, tympanic membrane repair surgery is just a simple small project. Once a suitable autologous material is found, or there is any breakthrough in material science, and suitable artificial materials can be produced, Hailamu can restore hearing immediately.

Of course, before this, the doctors got him a head-worn hearing aid, which can help him restore part of his hearing, but this requires him to wear a special hat, and those instruments need an "environment" that can be carried.

Lanse was chatting with several heads of the medical group locally in his manor about some directions for future medical development. As a person who can see through the next hundred years, even if Lanse is not studying medical technology, he roughly knows some development directions in the future.

His chat with these professionals would not be timid, but always gave these experts some inspiration, making them more willing to chat with Lanse, this "insider" investor.

"Boss, there is a call for you, from the country."

Lanse and the guests stopped talking. He apologized slightly, then stood up and walked toward the room next to him.

After sitting on the sofa and answering the phone, he heard Senator Cleveland's voice from the receiver.

"If you need me to go back, it might take a few more days. I still have some work and itineraries that have been arranged to deal with."

"Unless you have very important things.", Lanse said this first, so as not to let Senator Cleveland ask him to go back to do some small things now.

Senator Cleveland said with a smile, "I don't mean to let you come back. Today I received an interesting piece of news, which has something to do with our President."

"Little Porter, that is his direct grandson, who was pushed out by him as a way for the Porter family to appease veterans some time ago, he is now in Luli."

Lanse said "um," "Just north of me, it shouldn't be far away. What's wrong with him?"

"He's in trouble again.", then Senator Cleveland told all the things Little Porter did. Lanse didn't think there was anything funny about it.

A son of a powerful person with a bad root, in fact, no matter which world, there are many such people.

Once he heard an interesting rumor. At that time, a murder case with a very bad influence occurred, and public opinion was in an uproar.

From top to bottom, a group of the most elite people in the whole system was mobilized to solve this case, but when the case was about to be solved, the person in charge of this investigation team and the core members were transferred away from the work group at that time for various reasons, and arranged to do work in other places.

Subsequently, the working group claimed that there was no investigation progress, and the case has been silent.

However, the person in charge of this case chose to announce some specific things at that time after many years, after retirement, such as the resistance encountered in the investigation work, and even the situation where the criminal suspect had been locked but was influenced by external forces and had to give up the investigation.

And, from another channel, who took a special plane to go abroad urgently at that time.

Their behavior is actually very similar to Little Porter. They are all people who have stood at the peak of power since birth. For them, laws and the like can no longer judge them.

After all, their ancestors made efforts and sacrifices for the establishment of the Federation, so their descendants enjoy a little dividend and have a little privilege, what's wrong?

Don't say kill one person, even kill a few more, with President Porter covering him, or covering the Porter family, this matter can eventually be covered up by them.

It's just that they miscalculated one point. The Federation is a multi-party country, multi-party election and governance. President Porter cannot cover the sky with one hand. There is not so much "tacit understanding" between the Liberal Party, the Socialist Party, the Federal Party, and the Labor Party to let some insiders keep silent about the things they did.

Instead, because they know these things about them, they will make these things public as a means of political strife.

Lanse could already guess the reason why Senator Cleveland called at this time, "What do you want me to do?"

Senator Cleveland laughed softly, "Saying this makes me feel like I am hurting the Federation, but I hope justice and the law will be upheld—"

He couldn't help but laugh out loud himself after he finished speaking, "Will I be very pretentious saying this?"

"A little!", Lanse also responded with a smile.

"Okay!"

"There are four key people in this case now, the guy named Pipi, then Little Porter's two bodyguards, and the woman."

"The woman has seen Little Porter's face, but she has been controlled now, and it is difficult for us to contact her directly."

"Take that Pipi as the target first. If you can find him in advance, find a way to let him spread the truth that that person is Little Porter, and let the Luli people make trouble."

"You are an expert in this aspect. We need you to make the situation in Luli turbulent, and point all the spearheads at Little Porter."

Lanse thought for a while, "This is no problem, but if you do this, it may cause Luli to change from a stable regime to a turbulent regime."

"The power of the opposition in their country will be unprecedentedly strengthened, and it is even possible that the Federation's investment in Luli, including some personnel, will suffer losses and injuries."

Senator Cleveland's tone did not change at all, "That is something our President should consider, don't you think?"

"I know what to do, wait for my good news."

He put down the phone and sat there smoking a cigarette, then got up and returned to the living room, continuing to chat with these medical group experts.

Perhaps feeling that Lanse's attention was not concentrated enough at this time, these experts smartly realized that Lanse might have other things, so they all got up and said goodbye.

These experts are not like those pure academic experts. They are more of a dual identity of experts and managers, with sufficient scientific research ability, and also sufficient worldly wisdom.

After sending them away, Lanse found some local gang leaders to his manor.

Zhuolan is managed very well under the control of Federation people, including these gangsters, they are also very honest.

Maybe those gangsters who are not honest have become the past tense. Plus, the economy is taking off now, and the gangsters' days are much better than before. They have no need to do evil to seek that meager income.

As long as they maintain the current dual management of the city with the federal government, they can get a lot of income. Why should they resist?

Every gang leader attaches great importance to Lanse's summoning. They also know very clearly that on the surface, this city is managed by the mayor, as well as the assistant mayor and advisory group from the Federation, but in fact, there is another role that cannot be ignored, and that is Lanse.

Watching these "talents" gather together, Lanse felt a bit inexplicably funny, "Who among you knows the gangsters on the Luli side, those bigger gangsters, small characters don't need to say."

More than a dozen gang leaders looked at me and I looked at you. Three of them raised their hands. They were as honest as primary school students in school. From them, you couldn't see the fierce appearance they had outside at all!

"Very good, you sit to the side, we will chat alone later."

"This time I called you over besides this matter, there is another matter. I need more grain, fruit, including fruit wine used for brewing—"

Lanse has controlled the sales of alcohol in three states, which is an amazing wealth, but the supply of alcohol has also become a bit tight.

Lanse has asked people to continue to build more wineries and workshops, but facing the increasingly huge market and demand, it is still a bit tight.

The market is like those widows without shame. If you can't satisfy her, she will find someone else.

Xiang Yalan has rich material resources, and the price of these raw materials is much cheaper than the Federation. Lanse intends to import a large amount of raw materials for brewing, as well as finished wine for purification and distillation processing, to deal with the increasingly expanding market. ===== CHAPTER 1291 =====
