Chapter 541, Heather Gerken finally moved
There are unspoken rules in every industry. But the reason why an unspoken rule is an unspoken rule, not an explicit rule, is that it is not mandatory to follow, and the cost of breaking it will depend on the situation.
The rules are not so troublesome, and the penalties for breaking the rules are clearly written on the agreement in black and white.
There is an unspoken rule in federal politics, or in world politics—no assassination, no humane destruction.
Political struggle is a political struggle, and we cannot fight it without being in a hurry. But in fact, there are many people who do not follow this unspoken rule.
The Federation has used practical actions to tell everyone that as long as your muscles are strong enough and your strength is strong enough, you can even go into other people's homes and destroy everyone's humanity, and then call it 'anti-terrorism' in a grand manner.
Not only will you not be punished, but you can also get all kinds of benefits, if you are willing to spend a little more money, spend a little patience to whitewash, buy a wave of water army propaganda, and brainwash a lot of stupid white sweets, so that they will unswervingly believe that you are right, what you do is justified, and you represent justice!
These silly white sweets will be like chasing stars, they will have a crazy yearning for you, and when they see you, they can't wait to kiss every inch of land you have stepped on.
In short, the unspoken rule is an unspoken rule because it does not have to be followed. Whether to comply or not depends on strength.
If it had been a small organization of twenty or thirty members that had been 'exposed' today, and whose activities were still confined to the county town, and had not even seen the mayor, Robert Gordon would have loudly refuted it, and even expelled people from the meeting.
But it's Brooklyn who does this. is the Speaker of the Harvard Congress, is E. Chief Justice Y is one of the Big Five behind the scenes in New York, the son-in-law of the chairman of the Joint Council of Chiefs, and Brooklyn, who has an ambiguous relationship with the military!
Does Robert Gordon dare to disdain Brooklyn? Heather Gerken didn't dare to be careless when he came, what qualifications did he have?
"Hiring a murderer, all of you here have a legal education background, and you should know what this crime is." Brooklyn said
"Yale sent such a person, and to be honest, I was disappointed."
"As a school that was formed by members who split off from Harvard due to disagreements, we still can't agree on some issues, but Harvard has always regarded Yale as a brother."
"It's really disappointing that there is such a person in my brother's family, and that this person came here on his behalf."
"I'll need to call Heather Gerken when this meeting is over." No one will dispute that Brooklyn is lying.
With Brooklyn's current status, he couldn't have lied. Every word he says is backed by his strength and the forces behind him, and once he lies, he and everything behind him will be saddled with the reputation of being 'untrustworthy' and 'liar'.
This is a very serious question. As a result, no one has come forward to question the veracity of what Brooklyn said, even if Brooklyn has only said it with empty teeth and no evidence has been shown.
But then again, everyone is mixed in politics and has a tacit understanding of many things.
There are many things that simply can't show evidence. There is also no evidence for many things. This is not a courtroom, no evidence.
Brooklyn wouldn't have produced evidence, and he didn't have any evidence — he couldn't pull Mark Milley out to testify, could he?
Although he didn't ask, Brooklyn was almost certain that Mark Mealai would not admit that he was connected to the Patriots.
The dignified chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is entangled with an organization that sounds illegal, which doesn't sound good.
Therefore, it is impossible for Brooklyn to produce evidence, and he relies on his own identity. And whether what Brooklyn said was true, Robert Gordon himself knew.
Everyone was watching him. As his silence prolonged, more and more people began to believe that he had indeed hired a murderer.
The contradiction between Yale and Harvard is an open secret, and since Harvard's 'traitors' took root in New Haven, both sides have been eager to punish each other and blow each other to the ground.
Since the establishment of Yale Law School, the two sides have begun to compare their achievements, faculty, social influence, reputation, capital, and rankings in various fields...... Even if it is the order of appearance in a report, I can't wait to compare.
Although both sides have repeatedly denied this hatred in public, and claimed that it is just friendly exchanges and healthy competition, everyone is not blind, whether it is really good or whether the other party has never existed, it can be seen at a glance.
Therefore, Brooklyn's accusation against Robert Gordon makes sense. Robert Gordon's long silence made Brooklyn frown.
What he expects is Robert Gordon's fierce resistance, and then he ruthlessly suppresses it, and he expects a hearty fight, like a cat teasing a mouse.
Now he let go of the cat's paws, and waited expectantly for the mouse to escape, and in a hurry, scurrying around, he caught it again and again, pressed under its paws, and finally had to admit in despair that there was no possibility of escape, and then he ate it.
But he let go of his paws, and the mouse lay motionless on the ground! It is impossible for someone who dares to contact [Patriot] to buy his life so cowardly!
This is neither Brooklyn's expectations nor Robert Gordon's 'persona'.
"Professor Robert Gordon, don't you have anything to say?" Brooklyn frowned, got up, walked around the lectern, and came to Robert Gordon and asked.
Harrison, who was at the door, quietly followed a few steps, keeping a just right distance from Brooklyn.
After listening to Brooklyn's complaint, Harrison has some opinions about his 'ex'. A bodyguard, no matter how good he is, can anticipate the enemy's opportunity first, and the employer's enemy will destroy the action against the employer before he can make a move, and at least he should protect the employer when the danger comes, and try not to let the employer get hurt.
At the very least, it should be ensured that the employer's life is not in danger! But what did he hear? 20 shots!
He had never been shot so many times in his entire service. Harrison couldn't help but sneak a glance at Brooklyn's back, lamenting the tenacity of Brooklyn's vitality.
If it weren't for his wife, he would have suspected that Brooklyn was the chosen one under God's protection.
Harrison shifted his gaze to Robert Gordon, watching his every move, ready to strike in time before he threatened Brooklyn's safety.
Brooklyn didn't know what Harrison was thinking, he just watched Robert Gordon carefully, trying to find an answer from his face, an explanation for the other person's unusual reaction.
Robert Gordon finally spoke.
"That's my personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Yale." Robert Gordon said, his shoulders collapsing, as if he had been drained of his entire body.
His voice also began to become weak, like a thief who has been caught dirty, and there is no love in life.
"I don't like you, I haven't liked you since we first met." Robert Gordon said
"Maybe you don't remember me, but the first time we met was in that little auditorium, where Harvard was going to hold a memorial service for Lenley Crewe." Brooklyn thought about it and was not impressed.
That was the first time he appeared at Harvard as a Harvard person, and it was the first time he walked into the Harvard School, into the horizon of a higher level.
But he really wasn't impressed. Of course, it doesn't matter, what matters is the meaning of the words. Robert Gordon took the blame on himself, and he planned to take Yale out and take the blame himself!
That's not going to work! Playing with Robert Gordon is cool, but there's more to Brooklyn than that.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember you being in Yale's entourage at the time, but I didn't say a word or do anything at that memorial service." Brooklyn said
Given Yale's hatred of Harvard, it cannot be ruled out that Yale instructed you to do so. After all, your dean's gentleman is very fond of pointing fingers at other people's affairs. He was going to 'attend' when we had a meeting in New York. ”
"If you don't believe me, there's no way around me." Robert Gordon seemed to have figured something out and shrugged
"I'm telling the truth, I just don't like you, so I'm hiring someone to kill you. If you don't believe me, there's no way. "He repeated twice, 'If you don't believe me, I can't help it'.
Brooklyn could faintly make out the signs of lying from the movement of his facial muscles. But as Robert Gordon said, it doesn't matter if he believes it or not.
Robert Gordon has taken the blame on his shoulders, and he has admitted that it is entirely a personal act and has nothing to do with Yale.
Brooklyn had no way of going back to Yale through this incident. The dead fat guy at Yale only needs to issue a dismissal announcement and apologize for his mismanagement, and that's the end of the matter.
Brooklyn began to wonder why Robert Gordon had taken the blame on himself. Although he is a professor, it is impossible not to understand how terrible it is to buy a murderer, especially a judge, especially this judge is quite influential.
He so generously admitted that he didn't want to live? Brooklyn's mind conjured up the figure of the dead fat man from Yale.
"Professor Robert Gordon, I'm afraid you'll have to wait here for the police to arrive." Brooklyn said
"Plus, it's really disappointing that Yale sent someone like you." Soon after, the police arrived and took Robert Gordon away.
The meeting finally ended. Harvard, as the host, specially prepared a dinner reception. Brooklyn attended the dinner, but instead of being able to communicate more intimately with people as planned, he just showed up in a hurry and quickly got into the office.
It is more important to solve the mystery of Robert Gordon and figure out what kind of medicine is being sold in Heather Gerken's gourd than the formation of a more influential alliance.
Brooklyn had just called Heather Gerken personally. This is the first time the two have spoken directly since the Manhattan hotel meeting, and the two have only communicated on social platforms in the previous small gestures made by Heather Gerken.
"Good evening, Brooklyn." Heather Gerken's voice was gentle and magnetic, and just listening to the voice would make one think that he was a handsome middle-aged man of standard stature, reliable, generous, and gentle, and it was impossible to tell that this was a sinister and cunning dead fat man.
"It's supposed to be dinner time in Boston, right?" Heather Gerken greeted like an old friend.
Brooklyn didn't eat his set, and said directly
"Heather Gerken, I've taken the trash you threw out to the police station." There are two explanations for Robert Gordon's unusual behavior.
One is that Heather Gerken instructed him to promise him something to get Yale out of this ticking time bomb.
But Brooklyn felt that this might not be very big, and he had estimated that even if he and Heather Gerken were to change places, there would be no good way to save Robert Gordon.
What's more, Robert Gordon is a professor, teaching is a very 'noble' profession, respected, and his connections seem to be very wide, and many people will ask for him, but in fact, everything he has, except for knowledge, is vain.
Once this kind of crime is confirmed, his connections and influence will immediately dissipate, and he will not be able to provide him with the slightest help.
And under this kind of crime, it would be good if he could live, and it would be impossible for him to come out at all. In that case, what did Heather Gerken promise him?
What to exchange for his present and future? You know, Robert Gordon is now burying not only his freedom, everything he has now, all the possibilities of his future, are shattered to dust the moment he admits to hiring a murderer, and his future is only life imprisonment or death.
So, Brooklyn leans more towards the second possibility. Heather Gerken seized on some of Robert Gordon's tricks, forcing Robert Gordon to confess his guilt.
If it is the second option, it means that Robert Gordon pleaded guilty under the manipulation of Heather Gerken, and it also means that Brooklyn's opponent is not Robert Gordon, but Heather Gerken.
Who is Heather Gerken? That's someone that even Harvard's outcast Barry Justin can use. Would he waste a chess piece as big as Robert Gordon?
Brooklyn didn't believe that a 'thrifty' man like Heather Gerken would suddenly lead a life of extravagance and waste.
If it were him, he would have found a way to reuse it. This also means that Robert Gordon's appearance at Harvard, participation in meetings, recognition by Brooklyn, and sending him to the police station were all expected by Heather Gerken.
So, what is his purpose in doing this? Brooklyn thought of the press law proposal.
"What happened to Professor Robert Gordon?" Heather Gerken asked, surprised, the voice sounding as if he really was an innocent virgin.
Brooklyn rolled her eyes, feeling a little sick inexplicably. So he retched a few times unabashedly.
"I'm sorry, but you're disgusting with your fake style." After retching, Brooklyn rinsed her mouth and said to Heather Gerken.
