A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 129: Facing Confrontation


"Continue talking."

Ty Adler commanded.

With someone backing him, Corbin Hall naturally felt more confident.

He acknowledged with a sound and said, "Last night, I got in touch with the parties involved. Ramirez Carter, one of the involved parties, stated that Dirk Carter used his connections to solve issues related to his job and dowry, and also arranged a nearly 300-square-meter fully furnished house for the family, with a market value exceeding two million yuan."

No sooner had Corbin Hall finished speaking.

The conference room was filled with hisses.

Over three million is no small amount.

It should be known that Dirk Carter, as the secretary to the County Committee Secretary, only earns a salary of three to four thousand a month. Doesn't over three million constitute a crime of possessing property of unknown origin?

"Dirk Carter, is this true?"

Ty Adler asked with a stern expression.

Dirk Carter stood up.

He nodded and said, "There is indeed such a matter."

These words made a group of opportunists secretly delighted.

Ty Adler nodded, ordering the disciplinary committee staff at the door, "The evidence is conclusive, take him down!"

The disciplinary committee members had been waiting.

Upon receiving the order.

They immediately came in, one on each side, holding Dirk Carter by the shoulders.

"No, there is indeed such a thing, but it's completely different from what Comrade Liu said."

Dirk Carter shouted.

"You're still arguing now, Dirk Carter, I'm warning you, the disciplinary committee doesn't catch the wrong person. I advise you to confess honestly for lenient treatment."

Ty Adler reprimanded.

Donal Lewis remained unruffled.

He said, "Secretary Ty, no matter what, you have to give the person involved a chance to explain. Otherwise, if we've caught the wrong person, this matter will look bad."

Dirk Carter was personally chosen by Donal Lewis.

It's natural to speak on his behalf.

Ty Adler nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you time. Tell me where the discrepancy lies."

Dirk Carter shook his shoulders slightly.

Then he shrugged off the two people holding him.

After adjusting his clothes, he said, "I did indeed help my cousin find a job, but it's just a security guard job with a salary of two thousand a month. As for the dowry issue, the bride's side said they didn't want a dowry anymore and wouldn't marry my cousin. And regarding that so-called 300-square-meter house, I just took my uncle and aunt to see it, never said I'd buy it. How did it become that I gifted them a house? Comrade Liu, isn't your information too ridiculous?"

"Nonsense! All this evidence was personally verified by me. They told me themselves; how could it be false?"

Corbin Hall sneered and said loudly.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Just because they told you, it's true? If they said you were an idiot, does that make you an idiot?"

"Dirk Carter! You're rude!"

Corbin Hall shouted in frustration.

Dirk Carter laughed and said, "I was just giving an example, don't take it seriously."

After speaking, he looked at Ty Adler and asked, "Secretary Ty, you're the head of the disciplinary committee; the committee's investigations are supposed to be based on solid evidence. When did hearsay become grounds for arresting someone? Isn't doing this akin to abusing power?"

"Indeed, Secretary Ty, I've also worked in the disciplinary committee for many years. It seems like the committee's procedure shouldn't be this way, right?"

Dahlia Hughes chimed in.

Ty Adler's face turned from pale to blue.

He glanced at Corbin Hall.

Corbin Hall nodded and confidently said, "You want evidence, right? I was prepared for your denial, Dirk Carter. Let me tell you, your uncle, aunt, and cousin are already waiting in the meeting room. I can bring them in right now. Admitting now is still timely; don't make a fool of yourself in front of all the leaders, otherwise, you'll be the one humiliated."

Donal Lewis pondered for a moment and asked, "Comrade Dirk Carter, what do you say? Do you want to confront them directly?"

"Secretary Lewis, I don't think there's a need for that. This is a trivial matter. Why bring unrelated people to disrupt the County Committee meeting? Isn't this stirring trouble unnecessarily?"

Dirk Carter said.

Seeing Dirk Carter seeming a bit flustered.

Corbin Hall grew even more confident.

He said to Donal Lewis, "Secretary Lewis, I dare to guarantee with my party spirit and future that what I said is true. If there's any error, I'm willing to bear any responsibility."

"Alright! Since Comrade Liu has stated it this way, let's bring them in. The truth will reveal who is playing tricks. Comrade Liu, go ahead and bring them in."

Donal Lewis said.

Corbin Hall instantly felt as if Donal Lewis was also backing him.

This illusion was quite confusing.

He smiled smugly.

Turned around and left.

About three minutes later.

Corbin Hall brought the three Carters into the County Committee meeting room.

From his smug grin, it appeared he had re-confirmed their statements on the way, and the result matched his expectations.

After introducing the three to the leaders.

Corbin Hall looked at Ramirez Carter and said, "Comrade Ramirez Carter, don't be nervous or worried. These are all leaders from Stillwater County. Just speak the truth; no one can do anything to you."

Anyone could hear that he was trying to imply to Ramirez Carter that there was no need to fear Dirk Carter.

Ramirez Carter nodded and said, "Okay."

Corbin Hall cast a glance at Dirk Carter with a grin and asked, "Comrade Ramirez Carter, did Dirk Carter use connections to find you a job?"

"Yes, he helped me find it."

Ramirez Carter nodded and said.

Corbin Hall felt even more triumphant.

He continued, "What kind of job is it, and what's the salary?"

"It's a security guard job, with a salary of two thousand a month!"

No sooner had Ramirez Carter finished speaking.

The faces of those concealing their smiles in the room instantly froze.

Especially Corbin Hall, who looked as if he was struck dumb, stared at Ramirez Carter unbelievably and asked, "Didn't you say this job was twenty thousand a month?"

Ramirez Carter scratched his head, innocently said, "When did I say the monthly salary was twenty thousand? He himself earns just how much; how could he introduce me to a twenty-thousand-a-month job?"

"You clearly said… "

"I just said the monthly salary is two thousand."

Ramirez Carter repeated once more.

He was stunned.

Completely stunned.

Corbin Hall was evidently not giving up, still asking, "Then what about the dowry? Didn't you say he solved it for you?"

"Yes!"

That answer gave Corbin Hall hope again, he continued, "How did he solve it?"

"He told me not to marry that gold-digger, and we broke up."

Ramirez Carter replied with an innocent expression.

"Hahaha…"

Caroline Lynch couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

With that laugh, Corbin Hall's face turned even uglier.

He asked Phoebe Sutton, "Sister Sutton, you said earlier that Dirk Carter gave you a 300-square-meter house, is that true?"

Phoebe Sutton looked puzzled and asked, "When did I say that? He just took us to see the wedding house. We thought it was too expensive, so we didn't buy it."

"You… you previously said otherwise."

Corbin Hall shouted in exasperation.

Phoebe Sutton scratched her head and said, "That's exactly what I said."

"Yes, that's exactly what we said," Teal Carter added from the side.

Now Corbin Hall's face was bitterer than bitter melon.

The current situation was too embarrassing for him.

Seeing this, Dirk Carter.

Walked up to Corbin Hall and said, "Comrade Liu, you're young; how come your hearing is poor? Oh, it might not be your hearing; maybe you just wanted to set me up on purpose, right?"

"Nonsense! They clearly agreed to cooperate with me, Dirk Carter, you tampered with it, didn't you?"

Corbin Hall questioned loudly.
