But apart from being able to get such an address book the year you graduate, if you want to continue to have it in the second year, you must have certain grades before you can continue to have it.

Such as the book in Rachel's hand.

Although she graduated in [-], the alumni address book in her hand was updated last month, that is, in May this year.

Because although Rachel is not a well-known news person in the Federation, she is also the head of the news column of a radio and television station.

On the West Coast, Ms. Rachel Villeless is still well-known.

wrong.

It's on the West Coast and quite famous!

Therefore, when Columbia University and the School of Journalism started printing the alumni address book last month, they contacted Rachel. While adding Rachel's name to the alumni address book, they also sent Rachel a new copy. Alumni Address Book.

But the senior Claire Rachel was contacting was in Washington and was not an industry insider.

Even this senior Claire, after graduating, had almost no job related to the news media.

But this senior Claire has been a well-known alumnus of Columbia University School of Journalism for many years.

the reason is simple.

She is married.

Husband's surname is Underwood.

That Underwood of South Carolina, [-]th Congressional District, Congressman, House Majority Whip Francis Underwood!
Because of the time difference.

Although it is now [-]:[-] in the afternoon in Los Angeles, the current time in Washington is [-]:[-] in the evening.

Claire, who was having dinner with her husband Frank at home in Washington, was listening to Rachel's self-introduction on the phone. She rummaged through her bag and found the same "Alumni Address Book" and found Rachel on it. name.

Rachel Villeless, anchor of "Morning News" on CBS in Los Angeles.

Boyfriend Luke, FBI, Assistant Director of Federal Special Agents, Los Angeles, Deputy Director of Operations.

Claire thought about it and thought of the live broadcast she saw in Washington last month. She smiled and said: "Rachel, Columbia morning news host, I remember, last month..."

Rachel, who was in the ward, listened to Claire's words on the phone, walked to the window nearby, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me... It's not as exaggerated as other colleagues said, but it's you, senior sister, but it's always been the case. The legend of our academy.”

The other end of the phone seemed to be talking about Luke.

Rachel, who was standing at the window holding the phone, turned to look at Luke, then looked back, and continued to chat with Claire Underwood, who confirmed that they were classmates and alumni.

Luke looked at the alumni handbook that Rachel had just thrown on the table and saw the contact information and introduction of Senior Claire mentioned by Rachel.

Claire Underwood, wife of House Majority Whip Francis Underwood.

Underwood.

Luke looked at this inexplicably familiar last name and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

after awhile.

Rachel, who was chatting with Claire Underwood at the window, talked about the serious matter of the call this time: "Sister, you should have heard by now that there was a man in Los Angeles yesterday. Small communities have been hit by bombings."

Claire, who was sitting in the restaurant, raised her head and glanced at her husband, Frank, who was opposite. Listening to Rachel's words, she smiled and said, "Yes, what's the matter, Rachel, do you have any inside information?"

Rachel smiled: "No news, only inside information, senior sister."

talking.

Rachel looked at the scenery outside the window and told Claire on the other end of the phone the inside information that might be involved in the Mill Community bombing.

The focus was on the cause of this incident, which was that the current president's staff deliberately framed a federal official with outstanding performance and great promise in order to clear his nephew's name.

Claire had already turned on the speakerphone when she heard that this matter involved the current president's staff.

Francis Underwood opposite had also put away the newspaper in his hand.

Claire asked with a smile: "Rachel, I'm curious why you want to tell me this."

Rachel said with a smile: "I originally wanted to call Senior Luca who works at the Herald, but he didn't answer my call. I think the media in Washington will be very interested in such news. Yes, so I would like to ask my senior sister for help to see if any media is willing to receive such news, and I will provide it to them for free."

The smile on Claire's face continued: "This kind of scandal is the favorite of the media in Washington. I will contact you for you, but are you sure about the inside story?"

Rachel said: "Just now FBI Director Penning in Los Angeles has stopped the plane of California FBI Director Lewis."

Claire's thoughts were spinning: "I'll try to contact you."

Rachel thanked Claire and hung up the phone.

Claire also hung up the phone, looked at her husband Frank sitting opposite, and put away the smile on her face.

"She gave this message specifically to us."

"normal."

Francis Underwood showed no expression on his face. He packed up the newspapers in front of him, looked at his wife Claire and said: "Barack broke his agreement with me. Not many people know, but not a few." ."

Barack, now Mr. President.

Like Francis, he comes from the Democratic Party.

During the election at the end of last year, Francis made a deal with Barack, and Barack promised to nominate him as vice president after he became president.

but……

Just after Francis made all preparations to take office as vice president, in February of this year, Barack directly reneged on this agreement on the grounds that the House of Representatives still needed him to sit in office.he.

Francis Underwood, the majority whip, was screwed.

Moreover, just before he was ready to take office as Vice President, he was fooled mercilessly like a complete idiot.

Although the people in Washington didn’t say anything.

But Francis Underwood knows very well that he has become the most innocent and innocent shark in the shark tank in Washington.

Everyone was laughing at him behind his back.

no doubt.

But similarly, people who know his temper also know that he will never swallow his anger like this.

in the ward.

After hanging up the phone, Rachel said to Luke: "Carlisle's husband, Frank, the whip of the majority party, according to the news circulating in Washington, the reason why he turned to support Barack for president last year was because of this. Lolma Deese's lobbying, so if there is anyone in Washington who hates Lolma Deas the most, there is no doubt that it is Francis Underwood."

When she heard Lu Ke mention the name of the man behind the scenes, she felt that it looked familiar.

The media is also a circle.

And if the secrets of Washington are leaked first, they will definitely spread in the media circle first.

As for whether this secret will be spread, it depends on whether you don't want this secret to spread.

In other words, how much I don’t want this secret to spread.

The news that the majority party whip was tricked by Mr. President's aide Lorma Dis was not spread to the public.

But Rachel is not a member of the public.

She is also a member of the media circle, and she graduated from Columbia Journalism School, which accounts for half of the federal journalism circle.

and so.

When Rachel was looking through the alumni address book, when she saw Claire Underwood's name, she contacted the news immediately. Then, she gave up calling the senior at the Herald and instead reported this news News broke to Claire Underwood.

Because the same news fell into the hands of the media and into the hands of a majority whip.

Its power is completely different.

Rachel's expression was already one of eagerness to try, and she looked at Luke: "Does this count as a gift to this party whip?"

Luke already understood what Rachel was planning.

Drive away tigers and devour wolves.

but……

Seeking skin from a tiger has been a very dangerous thing since ancient times.

Luke smiled and shook his head: "This knife is double-edged. Be careful not to chop the opponent and hurt yourself instead."

With a nice smile on her face, Rachel looked at Luke: "My boyfriend is the FBI's deputy director of operations. I'm not afraid. Besides, you will protect me, right?"

"of course."

Luke nodded without any hesitation.

Just like Claire Underwood is in the alumni address book because her husband is named Francis Underwood.

same.

Although he and Rachel are not married, on certain things, Rachel's words are basically accepted by the outside world in the eyes of the outside world. This is what he, Lu Ke, wants to say.

Because he did not refuse Rachel to reveal the news to the outside world, so the lack of refusal was basically equivalent to acquiescence.

at this time.

Earl and Jack also came back from the monitoring room.

"Where's Director Panning?"

"gone."

Luke looked at Earl and Jack who had returned, looked away from Rachel, and looked at the two of them: "Has the surveillance video been copied?"

Earl nodded: "It's fixed."

Luke nodded, and then looked at Rachel: "I'm going back to the bureau first. You can take care of Lorna here."

Rachel nodded: "Don't worry, you can go about your business, I'm here."

Luke hummed, then stood up and looked at Earl and Jack: "Let's go back to the station and wait for Director Lewis to come back."

Say it.

Luke took the lead and walked directly towards the door of the ward. After exiting the door, he looked at the three corpses still lying on the ground, pointed at them, and said to Jack: "Stay here, wait for the forensic doctor to come, and go directly If you pull it out and burn it, it will take up space if you pull it back and put it away.”
