A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 234: A Calf Fears No Tiger


"Has it started?"

As soon as he walked in, Simon Lewis asked.

Warren Young let out a long sigh and said, "It's started."

Simon Lewis asked, "To what extent?"

Warren Young looked at a young man standing beside him, who was none other than Warren's secretary, Emery Hendricks.

Emery paused and said, "Penn Vincent has disappeared."

"What?"

Simon Lewis had just touched the sofa when he suddenly sat up and asked, "How did he disappear?"

Emery shook his head and said, "We don't know at the moment, but Executive Director Dixon suspects that Dirk Carter intercepted him halfway."

Simon Lewis looked at Warren Young in disbelief.

Warren Young nodded, a smile forming on his face, and said, "This Dirk Carter, he's a bit unexpected."

Simon Lewis nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Caden Dixon dug such a big pit for him, and even hinted that Scott Vincent deliberately caused trouble for Dirk Carter. The trap was set, just waiting for Carter to step in. But he directly intercepted him halfway, making all of Caden Dixon's efforts go to waste."

Warren Young frowned.

He said, "I'm afraid Dirk Carter this time isn't targeting Caden Dixon."

This statement gave Simon Lewis a start.

He asked in disbelief, "Could it be targeting her?"

Warren Young nodded repeatedly and said with a sigh, "Penn Vincent is the inspection leader sent by Evermore. Even if Dirk Carter wants to break Caden Dixon's scheme, he couldn't possibly risk so much. After much consideration, there's only one possibility; he did it intentionally, wanting to lure that person out."

"This I don't quite understand. Is Dirk Carter an idiot? The situation is this big, and nobody dares to interfere. He should have guessed that person's power is immense. Why would he still want to stir things up? Does he really intend to hit a brick wall?"

Simon Lewis asked.

Warren Young sighed, looked at Simon Lewis, and asked, "Old Simon, do you think Dirk Carter can win this time?"

Simon Lewis shook his head and said, "I originally thought he had some brains. Now it seems he's a fool, provoking her. Naturally, that person behind would take action. He's just a small education bureau director. Can he overturn the world?"

Warren Young smiled slightly and said, "I think he just might manage to break through the heavens this time. I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very expectant."

"Old Warren, should we do something?"

Simon Lewis asked.

Warren Young thought for a while and said, "Do nothing, just watch and wait, but suddenly, I kind of like this kid. If he really can't hold it, I might be willing to help him."

"Are you crazy? If that person's pressure comes down, how can you withstand it?"

Simon Lewis asked, mouth agape.

Warren Young's gaze fell on Simon Lewis, saying, "That's why I called you over, hoping you'd be on the same line with me. If those above really pursue the matter, I will take full responsibility. The education system in Kenton County is shiny on the surface, but these people have been sucked dry by these vampires. We used to be angry but couldn't say anything and could only pretend not to see it. But this Dirk Carter, brave like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, is much stronger than the two of us, isn't he?"

"Old Warren, you..."

Simon Lewis wanted to say something.

Warren Young waved his hand and said, "No need to persuade me. I don't know why I've suddenly become bolder. Perhaps in front of Dirk Carter, I felt a bit ashamed."

Seeing Warren Young's mind made up.

Simon Lewis asked, "Should I pull back Caden Dixon and Troy Kane?"

Warren Young said, "No need, Yorke Payne and Rand Quance are dead, and that person doesn't have many cards left. If they are withdrawn, won't things quiet down? Dirk Carter's purpose is to make a big scene, isn't it?"

"What if he can't hold up?"

Simon Lewis asked.

Warren Young stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said, "If he dares to do such a thing, he must have thought of a countermeasure. If he can't withstand even this pressure, then as you said, he's just a fool..."

"I have one last question. Kenton County is so big. If Dirk Carter really determined to hide Penn Vincent, the police might not find him. If they can't find him, how would this grand scheme continue?" Simon Lewis asked.

Warren Young's gaze was distant, and he said lightly, "Rest assured, they will surely find him. Dirk Carter stirring things up at Dynasty KTV was an intentional signal..."

Apart from The County Committee being stirred.

Another place was also making noise.

In Christina Ramey's house.

She was helping her daughter, Charlotte Ramey, pack up.

This evening at nine, Charlotte was flying out of the country.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Charlotte said, "I'll get the door."

Christina grabbed her hand and said, "You keep packing, I'll get it."

With that said.

She left the bedroom and headed to the door.

Opening the door, she saw Daniela Morgan standing outside anxiously. Just as she was about to speak, Christina put a finger to her lips with a shush.

"Mom, who is it?"

Charlotte asked from the bedroom.

Christina immediately said, "It's your sister Daniela on some business, we'll handle it."

"Oh."

After Charlotte responded,

Christina closed the room door, and the two of them went to the safety passage.

"What's wrong?"

Christina asked.

Daniela looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "Penn Vincent has gone missing."

"What?"

Christina started, accidentally shouting out loud.

She quickly lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on?"

Daniela shook her head and said, "The specifics aren't clear yet. Director Carter is out of reach, and Yannick Summers suspects that Penn Vincent might have been intercepted by Dirk Carter."

Hearing this,

Christina's expression turned vicious.

Seeing her expression change, Daniela asked, "Leader, what should we do next?"

"Have you settled Yannick Summers?"

Christina asked.

Daniela nodded and said, "I have."

"Good, then have Yannick provoke Caden Dixon. He's one of Caden Dixon's men. If Caden Dixon and Troy Kane take action, they should be able to handle it."

"But we don't even know where Dirk Carter has hidden Mr. Zhao?"

Daniela said urgently.

Christina sighed and asked, "At Dynasty KTV, who helped Dirk Carter?"

"Rosie from The Tonight Club... Oh, I get it. Dirk Carter is at The Tonight Club, so Mr. Zhao is also at The Tonight Club."

Daniela realized suddenly.

Nodding, she said, "I'll go find Yannick Summers now."

After Daniela hurriedly left,

Christina seemed even more restless.

She opened the door and saw that Charlotte had already finished packing.

Thinking for a moment, she said, "Tina, I'll arrange a car for you. You should head to the provincial airport soon. I suddenly have some matters to attend to, so I can't see you off."

"In such a hurry? Isn't my flight in the evening?"

Charlotte asked in surprise.

Christina smiled, gently stroking her head, and said, "It's always good to be prepared. You should go early to handle any unexpected situations. Don't worry, in a while, Mom will come to see you abroad."

"Alright then."

Charlotte said somewhat reluctantly.

Half an hour later.

A car drove up downstairs.

Christina personally sent Charlotte to the car.

Waving goodbye, she watched the car disappear at the intersection, and finally, Christina's tears flowed uncontrollably...

This farewell, perhaps they would meet again.

Or perhaps, it would be their final goodbye.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth.

Then, another car stopped in front of her, the window rolled down, revealing the driver to be the former deputy director of the County Committee Office, Tyson Ross...
