Chapter 572

"... Okay, let's play ball when you have time."

Senator Cleveland hung up the phone, a look of impatience appearing on his face.

Although everyone is a senator, senators are not exactly the same.

For example, majority party senators and minority party senators, core senators of political circles and those marginal senators of political circles, as well as committee members and executive committee members—these are all different.

They are all congressional senators, but can you say that their status, status, and power are all the same?

No, this is different.

Several people have called him these past two days, revealing the idea of wanting to inquire about some news.

He sat in front of the desk and was in a daze for a while, or perhaps his thinking was diverging. After about ten seconds, he pressed several buttons on the phone. "Let Tang Mu come over."

Five minutes later, Tang Mu knocked on the door and entered the office with his permission.

Senator Cleveland didn't deal with Tang Mu immediately, but first took care of the documents in his hand. After another seven or eight minutes, he threw the document in his hand into the document basket marked "Returned," and then looked up.

"How is the matter with Lanse going?"

"Several people called to inquire about this matter these past few days. Did he make any news I don't know about?"

While drinking coffee, he leaned on the back of the chair and turned the chair back and forth slightly through the strength of his toes and ankles.

Tang Mu nodded. "He has now purged the police force of New Jincheng. I heard that only the Keda family is left among the five big families..."

Senator Cleveland couldn't help laughing twice when he heard this. He raised his hand and said "Sorry." "I couldn't hold it back."

"Five big families... a very funny name."

This feeling is like... a big city big shot hearing that his own dog and the farmer's dog in the countryside have the same name. He laughed not because the names of the two dogs were similar, but because the farmer's dog dared to have the same name.

He laughed at the farmer and his dog's overestimation of their own capabilities!

He laughed several times. "Alright, I've laughed enough. Please continue."

Only then did Tang Mu nod and continue to tell the things that happened recently, but he was not very clear about how Lanse would deal with the Keda family, and Lanse's series of measures also made Senator Cleveland interested.

Looking at these things from a God's perspective after the fact, there will be a feeling that Lanse's handling of the problem is very in place.

He is not a fool, a fool who only knows how to solve problems with violence. Such fools are everywhere in the federation and will not attract his attention at all.

On the contrary, Lanse's clever handling method now made him interested, and the most critical thing is that Lanse didn't leave himself any terrible handles!

This means his value has improved again!

Thinking of this, he asked Tang Mu to make a call to Lanse. After changing two numbers, the call was connected.

"I am Tang Mu," he said very quickly, stating his name as soon as the call was connected. This was for fear that Lanse would talk nonsense and make the senator dissatisfied.

"Tang Mu?"

"Is there anything?"

Tang Mu glanced at Senator Cleveland, who shook his head slightly, so he continued, "How is the matter on your side going?"

"It's not many days until June. I remember you said everything would be solved in June. Have you done it now?"

Lanse didn't know why Tang Mu suddenly called. Maybe Bandi was looking for help in Congress again. He immediately replied, "It's almost done. They will be finished soon."

Tang Mu glanced at Senator Cleveland again and asked cautiously, "How do you plan to deal with them?"

When he asked this question, Lanse knew that this question was not what Tang Mu wanted to ask himself.

Tang Mu is actually a handy tool, just like him.

Tools don't ask other tools how to work. They don't care about each other. Tang Mu only cares about whether Lanse's things are done, and Lanse only cares about whether Tang Mu can provide him with help.

He doesn't care how Tang Mu handles work problems usually; that has nothing to do with him.

But now Tang Mu asked, which only means someone instructed him.

The only person who can instruct Tang Mu to ask these details is Senator Cleveland.

He adjusted his thinking and said, "I plan to use legal means."

"Legal means?" Tang Mu felt he had heard wrong, and Senator Cleveland couldn't help laughing out loud.

Two jokes today, contracting his happiness for the whole day!

Lanse also heard that laughter. Although it wasn't loud, he really heard it, but he continued as if he hadn't heard it. "Yes, legal means."

"The core figure responsible for handling gangs and crime in the Keda family is now in my hands. After friendly communication and persuasion, he is like a lamb lost in heaven, finding his way home."

"He is willing to testify about some criminal acts of the Keda family. With his accusation and some evidence he submitted, they are like little lambs in a noose, unable to escape."

"When to tighten the noose depends on when I want them to be finished."

A satisfied look appeared on Senator Cleveland's face. This time, without waiting for Tang Mu to speak, he took the initiative to ask, "Is there any place you need my help?"

After all, this involves annual profits of tens of millions, even he is looking forward to the arrival of this money. He said this sentence as if it was meaningless, but in fact, it was not.

Because if it follows the normal litigation, this might take two or three years, and finally they will be sentenced, and then the assets of the Keda family can be liquidated.

And he clearly didn't want to wait that long. If he intervened, he could use political relationships to quickly advance this case.

However, Lanse didn't need it. "Temporarily not needed, Senator. The Attorney General gave me some help..."

"Do you know Bob?" Senator Cleveland frowned. Bob is not in the same group as him.

If Lanse has contacted Bob, does it mean he is not necessarily on his side?

But fortunately, Lanse explained quickly. "You misunderstood me. I am talking about the State Attorney General, Mr. Terry."

A figure appeared in Senator Cleveland's mind, a bit blurry. "I remember, Terry, yes, he is also an Attorney General, but a State Attorney General."

"Why, are you very familiar with him?"

There was Lanse's laughter in the receiver. "For your sake!"

Tang Mu felt a bit emotional. He had seen many interns, congressional interns, or some relationship-based interns inserted into their office.

No one is allowed to look at the content!

These interns graduated from elite league colleges, and many of them have prominent family backgrounds.

If they didn't have a prominent family background, they wouldn't get a recommendation letter to allow them to intern in Congress or the senator's office.

These people's starting point is very high. Usually, the people they contact through their elders are also politicians or big capitalists at this level.

But even so, it is very difficult for them to communicate so fluently with the senator when they first arrive, let alone flatter him.

But look at Lanse. He spoke so fluently and implicitly flattered the senator, and look at the smile on the senator's face; he likes Lanse's flattery very much.

"You didn't promise him anything, did you?" Senator Cleveland, although he likes Lanse's flattery, didn't completely fall into it and lose his mind.

"Of course not, Senator."

"I didn't promise him anything. I didn't even mention you!"

This made Senator Cleveland even more satisfied. If this little fox wanted to use his majesty as a lion, he wouldn't mind.

But he couldn't use his name to promise anything outside; that would only bring a lot of trouble.

Lanse did this very well, which made him like him very much.

"Very good, you are the most capable young man I have seen in recent years. Your future shouldn't just stop at New Jincheng."

"Do it well, do it beautifully. You have face, we all have face, understand what I mean?"

"If you have any problems you can't solve, call Tang Mu. You have his number."

Senator Cleveland's hand pressed on the end call button. "That's it, notify me when there is good news."

He said, and without waiting for Lanse to respond, he hung up the phone.

Then he thought for a while. "Terry..." He looked up at Tang Mu. "Whose person is he?"

An Attorney General, the third-ranking figure in the state government, actively leaned over. Although from Lanse's perspective, it might be a bit blind, he believed there must be a reason for this.

If there is no one behind him, why can he sit in the position of the third-ranking figure in a state?

Could it be that someone, like foreigners, believes that as long as you have ability in the federation, you will definitely be reused?

What a fucking joke!

Tang Mu shook his head. "Not clear, I can investigate."

Governors, presidents, secretaries of state, cabinet members, numerous senators in Congress—these people could all be his former backers.

The third-ranking figure in a state does have some value, but you can't take risks, and you can't be rash.

On the other side, Lanse also put down the phone. He looked at Shi Dong, who was dumbfounded, and laughed. "Look, I have people above me too!"

"So you are not hurting your family; you are protecting it."

"If it weren't for you, what they would face is complete destruction."

"But because of you, some people in them who would have died have the qualification to live. You are greater than Bandi, Gao Li, and Flamin!"

If Lanse had said this before, Shi Dong would definitely not have believed it, but now, he believed it.

Bandi's whitewashing made them understand who actually controls this country.

Anyway, it's not in the hands of the people.

It is precisely because he knows this that he understands how terrible that phone call was just now!
