But at the same time, Jin Lingling also fell into a kind of ambivalence. On the one hand, she thinks that what Pang Jindong said is not wrong, although she has not been a policeman for a long time, but she also knows some inside stories that are not enough for outsiders;

Jin Lingling stared at Pang Jindong and suddenly asked, "Have you ever carried out this kind of extrajudicial justice?"

"Abroad, there used to be!"

"What about domestic?"

Pang Jindong laughed and replied, "If you think there is, you can arrest me immediately!"

"I'm putting aside my identity now and talking to you openly and honestly, I hope you answer me truthfully!"

"I've already answered you. In fact, you don't need to ask to know that the answer I give is necessarily no. If I haven't done it, I'll say 'yes' to you, then my brain has short-circuited, and if I did, I have to hide it as much as possible, how can I tell others, especially you, a policeman!" Pang Jindong's tone deliberately emphasized the last four words.

In Lu Jing's opinion, Pang Jindong, who was born in the army, should be a very practical person. And Jin Lingling knows very clearly that Pang Jindong is not an ordinary soldier, but a mercenary. People who have lived in such harsh conditions and in an environment where anything can happen for ten years definitely do not lack the wisdom of survival, and they know how to protect themselves at all times. For example, at this moment, Pang Jindong looks like an oil-soaked loach.

Jin Lingling understands that there is no point in continuing to dwell on this issue, and the murder that may have happened in the past should be passed.

Pang Jindong looked at Jin Lingling's contemplative appearance, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Do you have to listen to me, I have done something similar?"

"Pang Jindong, if you break the law, I will definitely arrest you. Although I ......" Jin Lingling was silent for a long time before she said such a sentence, she had not finished speaking.

Pang Jindong didn't want to ask what kind of words should be after the word "although", but said indifferently: "I believe there will be no day!"

Jin Lingling changed the topic and asked: "What do you think are the rules of human society, besides law and morality?"

This time it was Pang Jindong who was silent, and after a long time, Pang Jindong said four words with a solemn expression: "The law of the jungle!"

The two chatted for a long time before Jin Lingling got up to say goodbye. After she left, Pang Jindong casually picked up the newspaper she called and looked through it, and was immediately attracted by the international version of a piece of news.

The general content of this news is as follows: A source claims that Anderson, director of the National Drug Control Bureau, may be involved in the next presidential election and is currently preparing for a campaign office. However, this information has not been confirmed at this time, and a spokesman for Director Anderson has also remained silent. Analysts believe that if Anderson runs, he will have a good chance of winning with his decades of dedicated work and good reputation. Because of his current position, Anderson is likely to play the anti-drug card to gain the support of candidates who transcend gender, color and class. Some analysts believe that among the candidates who have been confirmed to run, Director Anderson's most competitive opponent is not from the Republican Party, but Senator Reevy, who belongs to the Democratic camp with him. In other words, for Director Anderson, the most critical thing is not the general election, but the previous party caucuse.

After reading this news, Pang Jindong couldn't help but gasp: "It turns out that he wants me to kill the presidential candidate!"

Although Pang Jindong knew that Director Anderson was a very ambitious person, he did not expect that he was now aiming for the presidency. Because of this, a question arose in Pang Jindong's heart.

One of the political issues facing Director Anderson's candidacy for president is not addressed in this report.

The system of civilian neutrality in country M was made clear in the Pendleton Act, which was enacted more than 100 years ago, and has been used to this day. The system requires that civil servants in government departments must remain politically neutral and can belong to a certain party, but they cannot participate in partisan political activities.

This seemingly inconsequential requirement is precisely the biggest problem with Director Anderson's presidential campaign. Because he cannot participate in party political activities, Director Anderson's prestige and influence within the Democratic Party will be far less than that of his opponents. That doesn't change because of Senator Revi's death alone.

It is precisely because of similar reasons, as well as other factors, that the majority of the previous presidential candidates in country M are parliamentarians and governors, and there are few administrative officials in a certain department.

Director Anderson doesn't do anything he isn't sure about, and Pang speculates that there is a possibility that he has the support of some powerful force, and Senator Leevy is just an obstacle.

The occurrence of high-level affairs in country M is not something that Pang Jindong needs to care about. The problem Pang Jindong is facing now is that Director Anderson found Pang Jindong in order to solve his own problem, and almost put the knife on Pang Jindong's neck.

Pang Jindong is a person who has seen the world, but it is the first time he has encountered something that has risen to such a height. Because of this incident, the future president of country M, the world's only superpower, will be determined. Politics is a dangerous game, this time the game is obviously too dangerous, and the scale is too big, it is really not Pang Jindong qualified to play, and there is no need to play.

But with that said, how does Director Anderson respond?

The more Pang Jindong thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and finally realized the four-character mantra - "What is love".

Since Jin Lingling had disturbed his dreams, Pang Jindong simply went out to do errands.

During the period when Pang Jindong was hospitalized, the bank's loan had been approved, and Pang Jindong took the check and went to Zhengdong Company.

After resting for such a long time, Pang Jindong returned to the company, and his colleagues looked at him in surprise, and when they learned that Pang Jindong was not back to work, the surprise of his colleagues immediately escalated into shock.

After Wang Weitong saw Pang Jindong, he took Pang Jindong's hand and greeted him for a long time, but he didn't mention work at all.

In the past, Wang Weitong thought that Pang Jindong, a wage earner, must have gone crazy. But now, he thinks that Shen Jiayao is crazy, so he will let a crazy worker be so indulgent. His ideas can represent many company employees.

After Shen Jiayao took office, he carried out drastic reforms to the company, and the employees of the corpse vegetarian meal were basically fired. For Pang Jindong, who has been on leave for a long time, everyone is waiting to become the next squid. However, waiting left and right, but in the end, it was in vain, Pang Jindong's position was not only as stable as Mount Tai, but also his salary was still paid.

This makes Pang Jindong a somewhat magical figure.

Pang Jindong talked to almost all his familiar colleagues, but never saw Zhou Tong, which made Pang Jindong feel a little disappointed. Pang Jindong originally wanted to ask Wang Weitong, but he didn't know how to speak.

Finally, Pang Jindong came to Shen Jiayao's office.

"Are you back to work?" Shen Jiayao stopped what she was doing and looked at Pang Jindong with a smile.

"I'm afraid I'll have to take some more time off!"

"Understood!" Shen Jiayao nodded and teased: "Mr. Pang is a busy man now!"

Pang Jindong ignored Shen Jiayao's ridicule, put the check in front of her, and said, "I'm here to repay the money this time! 21 million, and the extra 1 million will be regarded as interest!"

Seeing the check, Shen Jiayao became stern and said solemnly: "You don't need to be in such a hurry, I won't wait for the money." In the early days of your business, it's easy to lose money. ”

Pang Jindong smiled and asked, "Knowing that I am starting a business, will it make you feel a little happy?"

This question made Shen Jiayao feel a little uncomfortable, and after a moment of silence, she lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Pang Jindong shook his head and told Shen Jiayao: "It's a pity that I didn't open this company to start a business, the real reason is beyond your comprehension." After all these years, my attitude towards money has not changed, and this is not the same as yours. ”

Shen Jiayao didn't expect Pang Jindong to say such a thing, and was stunned.

When he learned that Pang Jindong invited land for bidding and set up a company for development, Shen Jiayao was very happy. Back then, Pang Jindong's parents abandoned him, and the shadow caused by Pang Jindong's chaos after returning to China almost disappeared. , a childhood sweetheart who doesn't seek progress, finally ended his life of chaos and began to work hard.

Sometimes, Shen Jiayao imagines that she and Pang Jindong are also successful people in the shopping mall, restoring the intimacy of the past, which is the perfect combination of warm childhood memories and real life.

However, now, Shen Jiayao knows that she is wrong, and Pang Jindong is still a completely different kind of person from her. It's just that she doesn't understand what Pang Jindong is doing these things for.

Pang Jindong said: "I hope you understand that the most important thing in the world is not only money. ”

Hearing this, Shen Jiayao's heart fluctuated. After a long time, he said gloomily: "But can we do it without money? It is because we have no money that our childhood will be dull, and our parents will work so hard......"

Pang Jindong interrupted Shen Jiayao's words: "I said, this is the difference between me and you. My childhood was the best I can remember, it was perfect without any flaws, and it didn't change because of poverty. After a pause, Pang Jindong continued: "Of course, this kind of beauty is also because of you, to be precise, you at that time. ”

"You ......" Shen Jiayao looked at Pang Jindong and was speechless for a while.

"I'm not short of money! This money will be returned to you, and the account between us will be settled!" Pang Jindong said, no matter what Shen Jiayao had to say, he got up and left.
