Chapter 697: Splitting and Miscellaneous Matters

The prosecutor's intern didn't ask who would handle this rich man with blood on his hands.

Because he knew.

In New Jincheng, if there is anyone else who can handle these people, there are only two people, Mayor Williams and Lanse White.

Mayor Williams also has many troubles himself recently; he should not be able to take care of here, so the answer is only one left, Lanse White.

As a messenger of justice, the intern instinctively felt that this was actually wrong.

Justice should not be executed by darkness, but he couldn't find any good way to refute it for a while, or rather, he didn't want to refute it.

Because actually, when he was in school, he had already come into contact with some similar cases.

Like a rich man raped a lady, the lady sued the rich man for infringing on her, but in the end, it was this lady who was sent to prison for 20 years for extortion, and disappeared silently in prison, disappearing without a sound, and no one knew where she went.

And for example, everyone knows that a certain rich man killed someone, and there is evidence that can point to him, but in the end, the court sentenced him to be innocent and released.

Because federal judicial regulations state that a case that has already been closed cannot be reopened, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes for the rest of his life, he is truly "beyond the reach of the law"!

Because the federal judicial regulation that a case that has already been closed cannot be opened again, as long as he doesn't make mistakes in his life, then he is really "at large"!

This kind of thing happens often in the Federation, and many of these cases are used as typical cases for explanation when studying in school.

Professors will tell them, if they encounter this kind of case, how to deal with it is the best way to deal with it.

He also privately asked the professor if the ways to deal with it he said in the classroom were really effective.

After the professor was silent for a long time, he told him with a frustration that could not be described in language that unless he was richer and more powerful than the suspect, he would be helpless and powerless.

Law, many times, doesn't necessarily really be able to carry through to the end!

Bad people never get the punishment and results they should have, and good people seem to always play victims in one case after another.

If this rich man who was interrogated really killed someone and could come out

"It's just that at this moment, Lanse can play the role of a dark knight, using his own methods to realize the justice we cannot obtain!"

"Regardless, justice has descended upon the human world. As for whether the one holding the sword has the wings of an angel or the wings of a demon, does that matter?"

"Justice is justice!"

The intern was deeply shocked. Although he felt the prosecutor wasn't entirely correct, he had nothing to refute it with, or rather, he didn't want to refute it.

The perpetrator ultimately pays the price; who could reject this grand finale?

It is not just one wealthy person; many wealthy people are facing the same problem.

For those wealthy people who have some assets, Lanse will also use the Prosecutor's Office and prosecutors to help them make decisions. For some insignificant small characters, he directly and bluntly demands they sign.

Either sign, or see you at the bottom of Angel Lake!

This matter once again taught people a truth: the probability of insurance for putting a corpse into an oil drum and throwing it into Angel Lake is one hundred percent.

The dumpers of the thousands upon thousands of corpses under Angel Lake will absolutely not allow anyone to disturb the souls beneath the lake—

It sounds like the filial piety of a devoted son, but in reality, they are just afraid of triggering bigger trouble.

During this period, some people also tried to contact the Manton side, seeking help from government figures or party figures to solve the trouble they currently have.

If this were before, this would be a troublesome matter. Within the party, within the state government, there are people with power and influence; there are too many people Lanse has to deal with.

One or two, he could completely ignore, but if the number of people affected is large, the Congress side would definitely be alarmed.

Obtaining the equity of the Jincheng Port Investment Company through this kind of predatory acquisition, and then alarming Congress, leaving Congress with the concept of a "stupid robber with no artistic sense" and an unlikable impression—

It is not as good as doing it like this now, holding the privileges given by Congress and acting in a rampant and domineering way. People will only see a Lanse and the Lanse family with heaven-reaching power!

Although the things he does are the same, the effects produced by these things are two different matters.

The effect is very good. The people on the Manton side refused to give them help because Senator Cleland and the others had already given a heads-up before. Since both sides are unwilling to mediate, fine, then you each rely on your own abilities.

This is also the reason why Lanse still keeps the main battlefield in Jincheng Port. If it were placed in Manton, this matter would not be so smooth.

Even if Attorney General Terry could cooperate with him, what about the other departments?

Can they also cooperate with him like this?

Therefore, letting these people return to Jincheng Port and then launching the killing intent is the only way to truly strangle them here.

For several days in a row, many rumors spread within Jincheng Port, and coupled with the events after the New Year, several conflicts broke out within the refugee community.

In these few conflicts, the Jincheng Port side completely stood from the perspective of watching the show. Lanse even let the police go over to maintain order, of course, after they had been fighting for a period of time.

The fall of a hardliner "leader" often brings about two relatively extreme results.

The first result: the spines of the remaining hardliners are broken. They will be even weaker than those compromisers, arching on the ground like maggots, fearing to attract attention and strikes.

These people have lost the determination and courage to resist; they are already useless and can no longer pose a threat. At the same time, they will be the "black sheep" in their own group.

Another result: a small number of hardliners will become even tougher, and the reason for this change is that some of them will think the leader's failure was because he wasn't strong enough or tough enough!

If he were strong enough and tough enough, he wouldn't have fallen at all. They will become even more radical!

This is also the main reason why the refugee community is now splitting and even having conflicts. These "evolved" hardliners inherited some of Hope's views and thoughts; they have become more unstable and irritable.

At the same time, they want to coerce more ordinary people to stand on their side.

If this kind of thing were placed before, there might be no problem, but with the emergence of representatives like Mr. Fitz, who loves peace, advocates exchanging labor for living space, and knows how to be patient and make concessions, and who has gained the support of some people—

Unavoidable contradictions and conflicts will arise between the two sides.

You think I'm wrong, and I think you're wrong. If they were debating, then they would only be debating.

But they are actually not debating. The core purpose of expressing their positions and views is to obtain more "chips."

The masses are the chips. Whoever has more chips in their hands occupies more initiative in politics. Both sides hope that the chips in their own hands are the most, so they cannot live in peace.

Mr. Fitz is gaining support—

Lanse gave him five thousand equal job positions. The wages for these five thousand job positions are not "discriminatory"; they can get the full wage, which is about forty-two dollars.

These forty-two dollars can solve many of their problems. Five thousand families and about twenty thousand people involved can therefore live the life of normal people. How could people not support Mr. Fitz?

This is also one of the most terrifying aspects of capital eroding politics!

When the masses choose politicians to represent them, they often hope to obtain some benefits for themselves and their group through this representative.

If there is capital supporting this politician behind the scenes, and the things he promised to the voters can be fulfilled immediately, then naturally his support rate will become higher and higher, and more and more people will support him.

Who can reject a politician who can fulfill his promises?

Federalists cannot reject it, and refugees cannot reject it either, although Mr. Fitz is not a politician!

Mr. Fitz used his concepts and attitude to prove that his theory is correct. Otherwise, why would the Federalists give him so many job positions, and equal, fair-priced job positions at that, and not give them to the previous Hope, or the current batch of hardliners?

Because they are not recognized!

On one side is the peaceful way, embracing a new life in a way they can accept.

On the other side is the brutal way, where the shadow of a new life is never seen.

Choosing who is very simple.

During one of Mr. Fitz's speeches, some hardliner members attacked the speech site, and Mr. Fitz's head was also broken.

The police appeared in time and arrested some of the attackers, but the benevolent Mr. Fitz took the initiative to ask for the release of those young people.

He believed they were just bewitched by some conspirators, used to create new conflicts, so that refugees would never welcome happiness in the Federation. Some even said these were all conspiracies of the Dantela Republic, or the means of some people in the country, just to force them to return to the country to sell their lives for the ruling class!

In short, after having a driving force, all kinds of statements emerged, but none could change one situation: Mr. Fitz's peace faction is rising rapidly.

"How many shares do we have in our hands?"

Lanse sat at the office desk smoking, while Mero and Sean were organizing the documents on the table.

With the help of Lawyer Roben, Sean entered the university he once attended to study law. This was already the winter break of his second year.

Last year, let alone winter break, he had been at school during the summer break as well. His foundation was weaker than others, so he needed to work harder so that he wouldn't be left behind, or even to catch up with and surpass other students.

A life of poverty and hardship is indeed the best whetstone in the world; even if it cannot wipe away sharp edges, it can make people understand the true meaning of life.

A luxurious and good life will never stimulate people's fighting spirit; it will only make people become more incompetent!

After a year and a half of hard work, Sean, not to mention how outstanding he was, was at least a representative of outstanding students among the students around him.

Returning this winter break, besides really missing everyone, he also brought along... wanting to solve some personal problems.

Lanse did not mistreat his expenses. This batch of old people was of extraordinary significance to Lanse, and Sean was the same as the others.

!

Besides various bonuses and basic wages, he was also able to eat the company's dividends.

It might not be much, counting it up it might be less than one percent, but that was also a very generous income.

Money, in any era and any cultural background, is a universal pass.

At school, because of his outstanding learning ability and having money, he quickly harvested his love, and of course, his good friends.

This winter break was to bring them to see Lanse.

In Jincheng Port, the Lanse family definitely had a resounding reputation, but in the entire Liklai State, it was not that resounding, limited only to those interested in this side who had some understanding.

It just so happened that there were many things to do during this period, and Sean, the university student, had returned, so Lanse pulled him over to do these tasks.

Mero helped Sean, and soon Sean finished the statistics, "It's about a little more than thirty-five percent."

Lanse nodded with satisfaction. These shares were not easy to come by.

They were all gathered bit by bit, one or two percent, or even a few thousandths.

There was also a considerable portion in the hands of banks and some major shareholders. For example, Mr. Charles, the stock he held alone accounted for seven percent, making him the largest individual shareholder.

Of course, there were other shareholders behind this batch of stocks, but they merged and authorized Mr. Charles Dai to hold them.

Currently, the stocks in the hands of Lanse and the batch of people he had recruited before added up to about fifty percent, which was already quite a lot, far exceeding his plan.

It would not be an easy matter to want to grasp all the remaining stocks in his hands.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about banks. Although he felt he was very strong now, he still couldn't do the matter of plundering banks, at least not currently.

As for the stocks in the hands of major shareholders, they were not that easy to get either. Countless eyes were staring at them, and besides the stocks in Mr. Charles's hands, Lanse was not counting on moving the others.

If he grasped everyone's stocks in his own hands, then in the future, it would be him going to compete with the new capital behind Sidney, and he didn't like this.

Leaving these people and letting them trigger competition and balance was easier than doing this thing himself.

After finishing some things in his hands, Lanse looked at Sean, "When do you plan to get married?"

Sean pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment, and his companions beside him were also pushing him.

It wasn't the kind of bullying him, but a way to express inner emotions.

"This summer break."

June and July are good days for marriage; many Federalists' weddings are set in June and July.

Immediately, someone started to boo, and Lanse was also a bit curious, "Why are you thinking of getting married so soon? Your university life is only halfway through!"

Sean's face was full of happy smiles, "She is pregnant, and we plan to hold the wedding with the baby."

"Holy crab!"

"You guy are really fucking capable!"

"Others are going to college, you are going to make people!"

The companions' playfulness made Sean also feel a long-lost, burden-free joy, "We didn't expect it, but after having it, we can only keep it."

"Her family is that kind of traditional church family. Abortion is as serious as blaspheming God to their family!"

Up to now, many states in the Federation have anti-abortion bills. Once a woman is pregnant, she must give birth.

Abortion surgery has also become an illegal surgery. If reported and caught, one has to face a very serious prison sentence.

This also led to a very special phenomenon in this period, which is that many women with skills have children.

Many of them will take their children to work and receive guests. This is also the reason why abnormal killers in the Federation will erupt in the next ten or even decades!

Because those men who spend money to help these girls obtain pleasure never know what will happen after they shiver, and coupled with the ban on abortion, many women with skills can only accept such a result.

After everyone joked for a while, Lanse raised his hand to let them quiet down, "Then, can your girlfriend and her family accept your status as an Imperial person, as well as your status with a gang background?"

Sean nodded, "I talked to her father, and he accepted it."

This made some young people couldn't help but ask, "How the fuck did you convince those old stubborn people?"

This kind of traditional believer family is a typical conservative. They prevent excessive contact with immigrant groups. Some young men are also facing similar problems, or are about to face similar problems, and they hope to get some help from Sean.

Morris, who was sitting on the side, was also listening carefully. His girlfriend's parents were also believers. In fact, almost most old Federalist families in this period were believers.

They all have more or less prejudice against immigrants.

Sean shrugged, "I put two thousand dollars on the table and told him I wanted to marry his daughter, and then he said 'Welcome, my child'!"

After a brief silence, the whole room was filled with joyful laughter.

Money is really a fucking good thing!

The arrival of Sean with his girlfriend and friends gave people a feeling of an indescribable change, as if people suddenly stood on the spot and looked back at the road they came from, only to realize how far they had walked.

On January 8th, Mr. Charles accepted the trial at the Jincheng Port Fast Court, three months of imprisonment.

His lawyer had already provided a lot of materials to prove that Mr. Charles could make a greater contribution to this society outside of prison than inside, but the judge still believed that no matter what, he must serve at least some time in prison for this charge.

He cannot be pardoned from his sentence just because he is rich; this will only encourage his attitude of contempt for the judiciary.

Subsequently, Mr. Charles stated in court that he would appeal...
