A Bumpy Road to Power
Chapter 1135 - 1135
From the morning when Doyle Paxton was arrested, until the evening when Grady Sawyer, the Deputy Chief of the City's Public Security Bureau and head of the criminal police division, was captured, the news of these two significant figures being controlled quickly spread throughout Silverwood City.
The factions of Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall have yet to make further statements.
Clearly, they are still observing the situation.
And the arrival of Alexander Camden.
To Dirk Carter, it was undoubtedly a strong dose of encouragement.
With the public support of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection, Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall's desire to intervene waned.
At the entrance.
The State Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived in a total of three cars.
Two sedans, one Iveco.
After the door of the first car opened.
Alexander Camden was the first to get out from the back seat.
Then.
A long, slender leg stretched out.
A beautiful and familiar face appeared in front of Dirk Carter.
It was none other than Alexander Camden's daughter, Mona.
Today, Mona wore a very loose shirt, with denim shorts on the bottom, and a corner of her shirt was tucked into her pants, making her appear casual yet tasteful.
Dirk Carter and Eoin Sadler approached one after the other.
Proactively shook hands with Alexander Camden, warmly saying, "Hello, Secretary Camden."
"Good, good, very good, Dirk Carter, you've done a great job in Silverwood City,"
Alexander Camden said as he patted Dirk Carter's hand.
Dirk Carter modestly replied, "Thanks to the care from our leaders."
"Hahaha, you know how to speak, but the success you've achieved today is your own merit, not much to do with me."
After saying that.
He turned to look at Mona.
Indignant, he said, "What's up? It's not like you don't know him, shouldn't you say hello?"
At this time.
Mona shyly stepped forward.
Smiled at Dirk Carter, saying, "Long time no see."
Dirk Carter merely smiled politely, as a response.
Alexander Camden immediately said, "Dirk, don't think I brought her here, she insisted on coming herself, said you handled a big case and wanted to come over to get firsthand information."
"The case is still under investigation and cannot be disclosed to the media, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Dirk Carter said regretfully.
Mona pouted.
And said, "Can't I come to see old friends?"
With these words.
Alexander Camden burst into laughter.
Then said to Eoin Sadler, "Comrade Sadler, come, report the case to me first and let the two young people chat."
"Certainly, Secretary Camden, please come inside."
Eoin Sadler respectfully invited Alexander Camden inside.
Once they left.
Seeing there wasn't anyone around.
Dirk Carter asked, "How have you been lately?"
"Pretty good, how about you?"
Mona inquired.
Dirk Carter nodded, saying, "I'm alright, just a bit busy with work."
"Oh, then I came at the wrong time."
Mona said somewhat despondently.
Dirk Carter lightly nodded, saying, "Indeed, you came at the wrong time."
Originally, she thought Dirk Carter would be very happy about her arrival, unexpectedly, it was just such an evaluation.
Mona felt extremely disappointed in her heart.
Sighing deeply, she said, "Alright then, you do your work, I'll wander around myself, when Dad finishes work, I'll leave."
Just as she was about to turn away.
Dirk Carter grabbed her arm.
With joy in her heart, Mona turned and asked solemnly, "What's the matter? Do you have something else?"
Dirk Carter hesitated for a moment.
Finally summoned the courage, saying, "Mona, if one day I hurt you, could we... still be friends?"
Seeing his earnest look.
Mona burst into laughter.
Asked, "You hurt me? How would you hurt me? I'm already yours, what else do you plan to do to me?"
Dirk Carter glanced back at the Public Security Bureau's building.
And said to Mona, "Actually, today you shouldn't have come."
"Why?"
Mona finally sensed Dirk Carter's abnormal behavior.
Asked worriedly.
Dirk Carter didn't know how to explain.
He took out a key from his pocket.
Pressed it into her palm.
Saying, "I and your dad have many things to do tonight, might not be able to return for a while, go to my place and rest, I'll come find you tomorrow."
Thinking she's been imagining things.
Mona beamed with delight.
Murmuring, "So inexplicable, really don't know what you're saying, ok, then I'll go to your place and rest, when you're free come find me."
After saying this.
Mona turned and left.
Watching her gradually disappear from view.
Dirk Carter murmured, "Mona, don't blame me, there are things I'm also not in control of..."
...
In Eoin Sadler's office.
When Dirk Carter entered.
He was reporting the case to Alexander Camden.
Upon seeing Dirk Carter.
Alexander Camden interrupted Eoin Sadler.
Asked, "Dirk, you've already reported Doyle Paxton's situation to me, but what's going on with holding Grady Sawyer, is it related to the 626 case?"
Dirk Carter nodded.
Saying, "I've pretty much cleared up the 626 case, Grady Sawyer indeed has significant ties to it, especially the deaths of Courtney Childers and Amelia Young, both have unavoidable connections to him."
Alexander Camden was taken aback.
Surprised, he asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what exactly is the situation."
Dirk Carter sat down opposite Alexander Camden.
First lifted the teacup and took a sip.
Then slowly raised his head.
Looked at Alexander Camden.
Asked, "Secretary Camden, aren't you supposed to be more aware of the specific situation of the 626 case than I am?"
Alexander Camden originally looked relaxed.
But hearing this.
Straightened up in shock.
Confused, he said, "Dirk, I certainly know the details of the 626 case, I was the one who told you, but how would I know the specific case, wasn't it handed over to you to investigate?"
"I'm talking about the specific case, Secretary Camden, considering your good relationship with Heriberto Sutton, now that he's gone, aren't you honestly feeling guilty?"
Dirk Carter's question.
Once again pierced Alexander Camden's heart like a thorn.
At this time.
He was already visibly upset.
Saying, "Dirk Carter, what are you talking about, of course I'm upset over Heriberto Sutton's death, otherwise I wouldn't have involved you in this case from the beginning, what do you mean by these ridiculous things now?"
"I don't mean anything, I'm just asking Secretary Camden to stay and cooperate with the investigation of the 626 case."
This time, Dirk Carter's tone was serious.
Almost every word was spoken through clenched teeth.
Alexander Camden was stunned.
After a moment of silence.
Slammed the armrest of the sofa, angrily saying, "Dirk Carter, what do you really mean? What do you mean by asking me to stay and cooperate with your investigation? Let's put aside the case for now, you as a Deputy Director-level Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, trying to hold me, an Executive Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection at Director level, do you have the qualification for that?"
