When leaving from Lynch's house, Johnson's feelings towards Lynch, his attitude all became very complicated.
Before Lynch gave him a sum of money, he checked, twenty thousand dollars, this is not a small amount of money, Lynch's argument at that time was very pleasing, saying that it was to give him a chance to take care of Michael's family.
That argument made Johnson feel a lot less bad about Lynch, no matter how he convinced himself of it, in any case, the problems between Lynch and Michael didn't continue to stretch out, Lynch instead chose to take a step back, and instead put up a sum of money to settle Michael's family after Michael was sentenced.
He's not a good person, much less a nice person, but somehow doesn't give people a chance to hate him, there's ill feeling, but not much.
And the whole thing started because of Michael himself, Lynch had always been a victim, to use the media's words.
This time it was Michael himself who brought it up, he'd been in jail and it wasn't a short time and was prepared for it.
He ran into a self-taught lawyer cellmate in jail, a guy who had supposedly been sent to jail for some minor incident, and who had taught himself the law, intending to go out and take a bar exam, so that even if he didn't pass, he wouldn't be inexplicably imprisoned next time.
Possibly based on the empathy that we all fall into the category of being set up, this cellmate talks to Michael about some of these things and how he's already in jail anyway, so why would he want to bring his kids down with him? (Did you know? In some big Eastern country, most young people need to pass a test to get into government work, and if your immediate family has proof of a crime, then it disqualifies you!)
There was a good chance that if he took the blame for little Michael's crime, there was at least a good chance that his child would still have a bright future.
With that in mind, Michael contacted Johnson because he was being held in a prison that was not the Sabine Regional Jail, and was being held in a different location to avoid retaliation from anyone in the prison who might recognize him as a former "licensed" person.
So something that should have been very simple became not so simple.
The investigations and lawsuits initiated by inmates who turn themselves in are a bit more difficult than those initiated by ordinary people who turn themselves in, and there are some points to be made, and not a few - they want to prove that the court ruled incorrectly, which is tantamount to slapping the Department of Justice in the face.
Even if Michael admits that he was the one who, in his father's name, got Michael Jr. to admit to wrongs that he hadn't committed in the first place, the DOJ may not recognize his act of turning himself in, and that's literally telling the public that the court has a direct result based on some testimony alone without investigating the facts, and that's not a good thing to do.
So even if Michael wanted to turn himself in while he was in jail, it was a complicated matter, so complicated that Johnson ended up using the money that Lynch had given him.
Together with some of Michael's savings in the bank, they came up with fifty-five thousand dollars, and it was only after everything was taken care of that this thing took a turn for the worse.
At the same time, as a result, one of the staff members who was in the middle of his internship was relieved of his duties due to malfeasance and other reasons. (The poor young man, at first glance, is an ordinary person with no background)
Now Michael Jr. has some paperwork left to go through on his end and will be released from jail this afternoon, which would have been a good thing, but again, it's a pain in the ass.
They had run out of money, Michael's savings had run out, Lynch's had run out, and Chief Johnson had filled in some money himself.
Michael's wife didn't have any experience working, and naturally wasn't in a position to work; there was no way for her to support herself and her children.
Add to that the possibility that little Michael would have to transfer to another school or even to a school in another city, and it was another staggering expense that the already fractured family could hardly afford to support.
Chief Johnson was a good man, but good man didn't mean that he could have no limits, he was able to give out some of his own money to help Michael and his family, but he couldn't give out endless amounts of money to help this family.
He did feel some guilt towards Michael, after all, he was the one who made the decision to give up on Michael in the end, but guilt wouldn't be an excuse to help these people for free, not to mention that he had a family of his own, and he had children of his own, and his children had children, and he also needed money to live.
When he retires and loses his main financial income, the pension insurance will only make it easier for him to live, but he still needs money for his medical fund and other issues, and he has to save a little.
Any illness can destroy a middle class family, which is why anytime a president of the Baylor Federation claims to have a solution to the healthcare problem before he takes office, he gets people's support.
People just can't afford to go to the doctor anymore, and as rich as this country seems to be, people really can't get sick or afford to go to the doctor.
This leads to the fact that Commissioner Johnson needs someone to reach out and help them, at first he considered the idea of having the IRS donate money, but then he thought about it and gave up on the idea.
And regardless of the fact that it was his decision to give up on this move of Michael's, just the back-stabbing of his colleagues, his subordinates, after Michael was designated as a suspect in a crime, created an unresolvable gap between the two sides.
No matter who made them make such a decision, it doesn't change the fact that they're unlikely to make up again.
Using his position as Director to forcefully press these people's heads to force them to bow down and donate money to Michael, in the end, not only would Michael be loathed and hated by these people who might otherwise feel some guilt, but even he himself might be loathed and hated by them.
In the end, he targeted Lynch and got the money without incident.
A not-so-small amount of money, he glanced at the check, another twenty thousand dollars, which would be enough for a year to two years if he saved a little.
He also believed that Lynch would still give the money if he asked again, so that left him with a very complex and conflicting mood towards Lynch.
He should have loathed and hated this villain, but he couldn't hate him, it was very complicated and contradictory ...
After the money arrived Chief Johnson immediately went to the bank, because this was a transfer check, providing only a transfer service, so it had to go through a transfer process.
Chief Johnson was naturally able to realize that Lynch's purpose for issuing a transfer check was to leave some small tail as a guarantee.
Silently looking at an additional twenty thousand dollars in an account that belonged to him, but whose name was not his own, Chief Johnson's heart was a little complicated, he withdrew five hundred dollars out and put it in his pocket, and then went to pick up Michael's wife.
They were going to pick up Michael Jr. from jail together in the afternoon, and then have a meal together, and by the way, discuss Michael Jr.'s next arrangements again.
It wasn't long before Chief Johnson had his back to the car, cigarette in hand, and was thinking things over when Michael's wife came out of the house.
He looked up and immediately stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and greeted her.
At this time Michael's wife showed a very special beauty, she changed into a very beautiful dress in order to go to welcome little Michael, this period of time successive blows made her spirit have some problems, her face looked very pale.
However, because she was going to welcome back a member of the family to make her spirit in the waning and then some cheer up, her face also appeared a trace of sickly beauty with a blush.
Maybe Chief Johnson didn't appreciate the beauty, but he could sense the young woman's helplessness and need for help at the moment.
He took it upon himself to pull the car door open and let Michael's wife in, sitting in the passenger seat so that it would be easier for them to talk.
After all, it was polite to look the other person in the eye when talking, and it would be rude to have her sit in the back seat and only look through the rearview mirror.
The car started up quickly and Chief Johnson drove on, staring out at the road while he pulled the money he had taken out of the bank out of his pocket and grabbed it and sent it over.
"I know things are tough right now, I can help you guys out some first, this is for living expenses, I'll figure out how to pay for little Michael's transfer."
Michael's wife didn't take it, Chief Johnson glanced at the road in front of him and slowed the car down slightly, inclining his head to look at the woman and shoved the money right into her hand, "I don't know what you're going to think, but you have to understand that the child is innocent and you have to give him hope."
Sometimes money represented hope, ironically and realistically.
Michael's wife was silent for a moment, took the money, smoothed it out and put it in her carry-on bag, and said a very soft thank you.
Chief Johnson smiled and continued to drive in earnest, neither of them talking about lunch, which they would go to together after they had picked up little Michael.
The car soon pulled up outside the regional jail, and after taking Michael's wife to sign some liability and rights papers, Chief Johnson was anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Michael.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but during this mind-numbing process, Michael's wife clung to Chief Johnson's hand, and neither one seemed to notice it.
