Half an hour later.

Mark directly turned off his mobile phone and smiled self-deprecatingly: "So, I shouldn't come here, the pattern of Washington is incompatible with me." ”

Kate frowned and said, "You have been reported above, aren't you worried?" ”

Mark smiled and said, "You said the Herald? Out of Washington, you look at how much he sells, and the Herald is about to become the exclusive newspaper of Washington. ”

Political newspapers were not afraid to even write about his private life, and Mark was not afraid.

But what if an entertainment newspaper dares to report like this?

That's when it happened.

The picture of [Supergirl Kate vs. the Victim Alliance] once again resurfaced in Mark's mind.

The returned Kate is no longer Kate's of the past.

Mark was once in the kitchen when he saw Kate chopping vegetables and suddenly slashed into her own arm.

Outcome......

The kitchen knife collapsed directly.

Mark couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Kate, who was on the other side, looked suspiciously at Mark, who was trembling, and asked, "Is it cold?" ”

Mark waved his hand, suppressing the ominous image in his mind back into the deepest part of his mind.

Half ringing.

"What did you talk to about this Underwood?"

"It's nothing, Underwood invited me to take the position of attorney general."

“…… What the? ”

Mark looked at Kate and said puzzled, "You seem surprised?" ”

Kate gave Mark a roll of her eyes and said, "Underwood invited you?" How did he invite ......?"

Speaking of this, Kate seemed to understand and nodded: "Okay, I understand, so did you promise?" ”

Underwood is a Democrat, and Walker, who is now in the limelight, is also a Democrat, so the answer is clear.

"Nope."

“…… Why? ”

"I don't like Washington."

“…… That's not the reason. ”

"I'm headstrong."

“……”

Four of the five calls that had just come would come, which Mark had expected.

But the last call did come as a surprise to Mark.

The call came from Washington Sanfei.

It's a black guy.

Mark didn't answer, though.

If Mark was hesitant to become attorney general, there is no need to hesitate now.

He didn't have a chance to hold the post anymore.

The black guy must have been vigilant when he saw this report.

Mark knew it in his heart.

The black guy knows it in his heart.

The new official took office three times, and Mark served as the Minister of Justice.

First of all, the first thing must be to use the secret organization of black braised eggs to kill chickens and monkeys.

There is no doubt about it.

In the eyes of that Democratic Walker, is it the black guy who is biased towards the same Democrats, or is it the Republican Mark?

The answer is obvious.

At this time, Mark was already thinking about whether to take the first flight back to New York tomorrow morning.

As for why this report appeared so quickly.

That's a stupid question.

You don't even have to think about it or even ask.

Mark knew it was Underwood who had contacted the reporter in person or on a trumpet.

It's just that.

Underwood was afraid he had miscalculated.

The discord meter is easy to put on anyone's body, but it is doomed to fail when placed on him.

The previous attorney general, Justin, nominated Mark to Mr. President to succeed him in his class when he retired.

The president agreed, but Mark didn't.

Francis Underwood is a mobile political textbook that has relied on power and political vision to get to where it is today.

It's just that Francis didn't think that there was still Mark in the world who was not interested in the position of attorney general.

Yes.

This scene of Underwood's drama is doomed to be futile.

Call over and taunt Underwood?

Mark vetoed it outright.

Although Mark didn't want to go up, he didn't say he wanted to go back.

Man.

Be a man and leave a line, and you will see each other in the future.

Besides.

The old man often says that suffering a loss is a blessing, and pretending to be stupid is a skill.

Mark decided to play dumb this time.

After lunch.

Kate, who was cross-legged on the sofa, stared at Mark sitting next to her without blinking.

“…… What's wrong? ”

"It's not like you, usually if someone calculates you like this, you would have jumped to your feet a long time ago."

"Is there one? You may be confusing me with others. ”

"I'm pretty sure."

“…… Haha, how is it possible, don't you know who I am? ”

“…… It's because I'm clear that I'm confused, and generally you don't behave like that. ”

"And what am I?"

"Kill his whole family."

"......" Mark looked helplessly at Kate, who was making a knife gesture, and shook his head and said, "Kate, we are law enforcement officers, and it is not right to know the law and break the law." ”

Kate: "......"

All right.

Mark admitted.

If someone else had done this, that person would have disappeared by now.

But this is Francis Underwood.

The majority party whip in the House of Representatives, a politician with a lot of political experience.

Mark and Frances have a pretty good personal relationship.

The most important point.

Mark wants to maintain stability at the moment.

In other words, you want to be in your seat today.

Francis......

Wrong.

It should be the Underwood family with a bright future.

Whether Mr. Underwood ascends to the throne or Mrs. Underwood ascends to the throne, it is all good for Mark.

Mark is a man who is more flexible in doing things.

Mark a good friend like Underwood wouldn't mind giving him one more chance to mend his ways.

Mark said goodbye to Kate and walked straight out of the door towards the elevator.

The elevator goes down.

Ding dong!

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor.

Hill, who was about to go to work, looked at Mark in the elevator and was slightly stunned.

Mark was also stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled and said, "Ms. Hill, we are very fateful. ”

Hill was silent for a while, walked in, and said lightly: "Director Louis doesn't seem to be very clear about the definition of the word fate." ”

“…… Oh? ”

"This is an apartment, I live on the sixth floor, and I have no plans to move for the time being, so this can't be said to be fate."

“…… What should that be called? ”

"Unlucky!"

“…… Pour...... Mold? Mark was stunned.

Ding-dong.

The elevator opens on the ground floor.

Hill walked out first.

A smile hung directly on the corner of Mark's mouth...... Trailing.

At the door of Wood Apartments.

Agent Hill suddenly turned to Mark and said, "I have a question, can you help me out?" Director Louis. ”

Mark smiled, "What? ”

"From the beginning of this year to now, there has been half a year when Director Louis seems to have disappeared completely, and the apartment on the seventh floor has also stopped being active for almost a year."

“…… What do you want to ask? ”

"Initially I thought Director Louis and Ms. Todd had moved out, but now it seems ......"

“…… How does it seem? ”

Hill smiled slightly, turned around and said: "Quarrels between couples are a common thing, if Director Louis can spend his time picking up girls on apologizing, I think the world will be much more peaceful and stable." ”

Mark: "......"
