Chapter 1160 - 1160

Of course, by now, aside from retaining its mining business, Seaview Group's reach spreads across various industries.

Especially in recent years.

The momentum of development is extremely rapid.

For example, the acquisition of Seacircle Petroleum mentioned in one of the photos.

There's also the acquisition of real estate companies, chemical plants, rubber factories, and so on...

Most of these so-called mergers and acquisitions have taken place in recent years, during Hadley Thorne's tenure as the Party Secretary of Silverwood City.

"Is this woman Noelle Meyer?"

Dirk Carter pointed to the woman walking side by side with Hadley Thorne in the first photo and asked.

Athena Meyer nodded.

She said, "Yes, she is Noelle Meyer, isn't she stunningly beautiful?"

This is indeed the truth.

Although the photo of Noelle Meyer isn't very clear.

Her appearance, full of romance and poise, can certainly captivate any man.

Especially with her model-like figure.

No matter where she appears, she has a unique presence.

"Did you just tell me not to touch this case because this woman's influence is immense?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Athena Meyer nodded.

She said, "Seaview Group's status in our Silverwood City goes without saying. Over the years, the state has highly praised Seaview Group, striving to create a favorable business environment in Novaria State. It's a benchmark, a totem. If you touch her, you're basically opposing the State Committee and the Municipal Government."

"Noelle Meyer is meticulous in her work, with excellent relationships up and down, as evidenced by the policy biases in recent years."

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter already had a rough idea.

But he still had doubts.

It's about the person who sent him the complaint letter.

Knowing full well that the people in the photo are a Party Secretary and a private giant, he couldn't touch either of them. Why would someone still give him the complaint letter?

Could it be just to set him up?

After all, his reckless reputation is quite well-known.

While he was pondering the intricacies of the situation.

A crisp ringtone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

The time now is already midnight at twelve o'clock.

Dirk Carter checked the number; it was from Elbert Rivers.

He knew if it wasn't something urgent, Elbert wouldn't call at this hour.

Just as he was about to press the answer button.

Athena's phone also happened to ring.

She immediately picked up the phone on the bedside table; the caller turned out to be her secretary.

Without giving it much thought.

Athena took her phone into the bathroom.

Both taking calls simultaneously, they couldn't let others know they were together.

"What's going on with Elbert, calling so late?"

Dirk Carter asked.

On the phone, Elbert's voice sounded anxious.

He said, "Leader, it's not good, something happened, Hansel Levin, the Municipal Government's Secretary-General, died."

In an instant.

Dirk Carter's mind suddenly exploded.

"How did he die?"

Dirk Carter asked.

"Feedback from the hospital indicates it was acute myocardial infarction, he died an hour ago at Mountridge County Hospital."

Dirk Carter was taken aback.

He asked, "Mountridge County Hospital? Why did he go to Mountridge County?"

"Unclear, the exact situation isn't known yet, because it's a sudden incident, Mayor Colter Hall has already rushed over..."

At this point.

Elbert paused.

He said, "Leader, Commissioner Louis Vincent was the duty officer that night in Mountridge County, he was the first to arrive at the hospital, he told me Hansel Levin was naked when he was brought to the hospital, the rescue doctor at the hospital revealed it might be sudden death due to sexual intercourse."

Another explosive piece of news.

Dirk Carter took a deep breath.

He asked, "Are you saying Hansel Levin might have died during sexual intercourse?"

"The possibility is high. Before calling you, I already checked Hansel's itinerary, he had no plan to go to Mountridge County, and he didn't use a government car but took a taxi. Half an hour ago, I had Manuel Brooks find the taxi driver..."

The taxi driver reported to the police.

On the evening of that day.

Hansel Levin took his cab at the Municipal Government courtyard.

Then requested the driver to head straight to the Five Peaks Mountain Scenic Area in Mountridge County.

Upon reaching near the scenic area.

Hansel Levin asked to pull over beside a Maybach.

When the driver turned to leave.

He saw in the rearview mirror Hansel getting into that Maybach, what happened next he didn't know.

"You did a great job."

Dirk Carter praised.

Before making this call, Elbert had already reconstructed some details of the incident.

Thus indicating.

Though Hansel Levin's death was accidental, certain details suggested some unusual circumstances.

At this moment.

Athena had finished her call and emerged from the bathroom.

Dirk Carter had just hung up.

Athena asked, "Is it about Hansel Levin?"

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Yes, was yours too?"

Athena nodded and said, "Regarding the unnatural death of a leading cadre, the commission has a response mechanism, per routine, we must immediately form an investigation team to Mountridge County, Heath Woods is already leading a team there..."

Dirk Carter's thoughts.

Were all on Noelle Meyer initially.

But Hansel Levin's sudden death disrupted his pace.

He now had to hurry back to the office, awaiting further news from Mountridge County.

Remember, the Municipal Government's Secretary-General isn't a minor figure.

He's the key figure as an executive-level official.

Such a person suddenly encountering this, will certainly trigger a series of chain reactions.

Around midnight.

In the Municipal Party Committee's second car, Colter Hall, coming off the highway from Mountridge County.

He was frowning all the way.

Also pondering over the unusualness therein.

Bear in mind during the day, Hansel Levin had offered him some advice.

By evening, he suddenly died in Mountridge County.

Such coincidences inevitably raised his suspicion.

By now.

The road was pitch black.

Because it was about time.

All streetlights had already been turned off.

Just as the car was about to turn off the state road into the city.

Suddenly.

A super bright car light illuminated their car from the front.

The driver complained.

Quickly flashed the headlights several times trying to remind the other party to turn off the high beams.

But the other side didn't react at all.

The road was obscured.

Helpless, driver Xiao Zhang could only reduce speed, approaching the frontmost car, slowly stopped.

Sounded the horn several times as a warning.

At this moment, visibly 3 people alighted from the front car, steadily approached their vehicle.

Colter Hall instantly sensed something was wrong, patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder, said: "Reverse, quickly reverse..."
