"You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, huh? Alright, since that's the case, let me show you."

Dirk Carter finished speaking.

He looked towards his secretary, Elbert Rivers.

Elbert nodded.

He walked to a car from the disciplinary committee.

He opened the rear car door.

Frederick Eames just glanced in that direction, shuddered all over, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

In his view, it wasn't anyone else but the Master Tongxuan of Pearson Temple on Phoenix Peak.

Immediately after.

Elbert walked to another car.

This time, the car door opened by itself.

A middle-aged man stepped out, precisely the developer of Verdant Court, Dean Ross, the CEO of Grandview Realty Co., Ltd.

"Secretary Yates, long time no see, hope you've been well."

Dean Ross's greeting.

Made Frederick Eames shiver once more.

His clothes, just dried, appeared with sweat stains again.

Jason Hall was no fool.

Seeing Frederick Eames's large reaction, he knew these two people held significant "weight".

After a quick thought.

He looked at Frederick Eames and asked, "Tell me the truth, have you done anything corrupt or illegal..."

"Brother-in-law... I..."

Frederick Eames began to cry.

This public cry of "brother-in-law".

Even Jason Hall couldn't maintain composure.

With the slap of a hand, he struck Frederick Eames on the face, and yelled, "You bastard, repeatedly told to be a good official and serve the people with all your heart, and you only exploit the people and do every evil. I'm done with you, whether you live or die, deal with it yourself."

After saying this.

Jason Hall got directly into his car.

With a snap, he closed the door.

But the car did not start.

Evidently, he wanted to use his presence to continue applying pressure on Dirk Carter and the others.

Jason Hall was done.

The few cadres of the discipline inspection commission were not polite to him.

They directly went forward, restraining Frederick Eames.

"Take him away."

Dirk Carter waved his hand.

Frederick Eames was then escorted into the car.

At the same time.

Thunderous applause came from behind.

Everyone turned their heads.

And saw that the villagers from Southgate Village had come out.

Scattered in several rows, all were the elderly and women and children, looking gaunt and pitiful.

Seeing Frederick Eames being captured.

Many faces were streaming with tears of excitement.

"Mayor Quill, you are in charge of agriculture and rural affairs; what arrangements do you have for these people?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dustin Quill thought for a moment and said, "I'll head back right now and contact the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately, to solve everyone's accommodation and food issues first. As for this unfinished building, it's not up to me; it might need to be discussed at the standing committee."

This wasn't shirking responsibility.

After all, rebuilding the complex requires substantial funds.

He, as a deputy mayor, didn't have that much authority.

At two in the afternoon.

The news of Frederick Eames, the District Party Secretary of Riverwood District, being subjected to shuanggui by the disciplinary committee shook the entire Silverwood City.

Upon receiving the news, Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall were both stunned.

They knew that moving a real power head at the level of a principal department rank had to be reported to them in advance, but they were notified only afterward, leaving both of them seething with anger.

Especially Hadley Thorne.

As the Party Secretary of the City Committee.

Before Dirk Carter took any action, he didn't even give himself a heads-up.

This behavior was practically equivalent to rubbing his face into the ground.

Thud, thud, thud.

Suddenly, a series of hurried knocks sounded.

With a heart full of anger.

Hadley Thorne shouted, "Come in."

The door opened.

Secretary Jules Reid came in.

"What's the matter?"

Hadley Thorne asked unfriendly.

"Leader, Vice Chairman Jason Hall from the Provincial CPPCC has arrived."

Jules Reid said.

Hadley Thorne shivered.

He sprang up and angrily said, "Then what are you standing there for? Invite him in."

Jules Reid immediately turned around, and shortly after, the equally sullen Jason Hall swaggered in.

"Vice Chairman Hall, why have you come?"

Hadley Thorne tried to reach out for a handshake.

Jason Hall went directly to sit on the sofa.

Crossing his legs and remaining silent.

"You...you go out first."

Hadley Thorne said to Jules Reid.

Jules Reid left and closed the door behind him.

Then.

Hadley Thorne personally brewed a cup of tea for Jason Hall, respectfully delivering it to him.

"Vice Chairman Hall, please have some tea."

Jason Hall glanced at the cup, and coldly said, "Comrade Thorne, what's happening in Silverwood City? Recently, a County Party Secretary of Greshire County was taken down, and now a District Party Secretary of Riverwood District is down. What, is the sky going to fall? Or does the City Committee of Silverwood City have a poor eye for people, only picking problematic individuals for key positions?"

This remark, Hadley Thorne naturally understood.

He was implying that these people were selected by them, and now all of them have been found to have problems, meaning they also bear some responsibility.

"Yes, yes, yes, the leader's words are right, but in this matter, I feel wronged too, Vice Chairman Hall, to be honest, I just got the news myself, this Dirk Carter acts arbitrarily, never putting me, the Party Secretary of the City Committee, in his eyes."

Hadley Thorne complained pitifully.

Seemingly venting.

But in fact, he was shifting all responsibility onto Dirk Carter.

Of course, speaking this way, he was also testing Jason Hall's stance.

He wanted to know what the great figure in front of him thought about Dirk Carter.

"Lawlessness, simply lawlessness, ignoring leadership, doing whatever he pleases, developing in this way, the little authority of the discipline inspection committee will become the golden cudgel in his hand, Comrade Thorne, as the top leader of Silverwood City, this trend must be suppressed, otherwise, in the long run, the whole Silverwood City will be in chaos."

A word from Jason Hall.

Characterized Dirk Carter's actions.

Hadley Thorne was overjoyed.

Finally found the opportunity to deal with Dirk Carter.

But he's a slick person.

After thinking, he said, "Vice Chairman Hall, I will definitely pursue the issues of Comrade Dirk Carter, it's just..."

He deliberately dragged a long tone, waiting for Jason Hall to ask.

Jason Hall smiled faintly, knowingly said, "Are you worried that Comrade Colter Hall will oppose you?"

"Vice Chairman Hall indeed deserves to be our leader, nothing escapes your eyes."

Hadley Thorne said with a grin.

Jason Hall waved his hand, said, "I just came from Colter Hall's side, regarding this matter, he also feels the situation is quite serious, must use heavy-handed methods to rectify it, just while I am here, you organize a meeting, I also want to hear the opinions of your standing committee members."

With this statement.

Jason Hall's purpose became very clear.

He wanted to use his authority to pressure the entire Silverwood City Committee.

Frederick Eames being caught is a fact.

But this doesn't mean the matter can't be maneuvered.

At three in the afternoon.

The members of the Standing Committee, who received the temporary meeting notice, filed into the meeting room of the Standing Committee.

Originally, they were chattering non-stop.

Once Dirk Carter walked in.

The meeting room instantly quieted down.
