The case of Charlotte Ramey was later named the 108 Major Case.

Because the day Charlotte Ramey was shot happened to be January 8th.

This was also the largest corruption case in the education system in Ardmore City and even the entire Serenity State in recent years.

The State Commission for Discipline Inspection, Supervisory Committee, and Education Department formed a joint investigation team to enter Ardmore City for an investigation of the case.

For a whole month, Director Carter, the director of the education bureau, was summoned countless times to the investigation team for inquiry records. The Ardmore City government, education bureau, including the Kenton County government and education bureau, almost held meetings every day.

The content was either reflection or self-criticism.

Of course, during this process, many people were also affected by this storm.

The provincial education department head was notified and criticized.

Ardmore City's mayor, Kelton Levin, was notified and criticized.

Kenton County Committee Secretary Warren Young was given a demerit.

Besides these leaders who were dealt with,

The education system officials at both county and city levels were dealt with sternly, just like at the Kenton County education bureau. The group leader in charge of discipline inspection, Irene Lowell, was dismissed, being the one most severely dealt with in the county education bureau in this catastrophe.

As the New Year approached,

The 108 Special Task Force held a press conference.

They disclosed part of the case details.

According to the main criminal suspect Tyson Ross's confession, the death of Yorke Payne was orchestrated by him single-handedly.

After Charlotte Ramey entered the Kenton County education system, she began using her power to amass wealth, secretly selling teacher qualification certificates, teacher promotions, and professional title evaluations. Yorke Payne was the main executor.

Besides the above money-making methods, positions such as school principals, vice principals, directors, etc., were basically realized through sales. There was also a part of the education system's infrastructure projects, many of which were under-the-table operations.

After Charlotte Ramey was transferred away,

Yorke Payne took over the financial path of Charlotte Ramey.

A portion went to himself, while the majority of the money still had to be handed over to Charlotte Ramey in exchange for her protection.

In nearly ten years, Charlotte Ramey amassed nearly a hundred million yuan through these means.

The last project at the vocational and technical college ultimately did not succeed. Otherwise, the total amount might have reached four to five hundred million yuan.

This is quite an astonishing figure.

"Boss, the list is out."

In Director Carter's office, Yves Quill walked in and placed a folder in front of him.

He opened it and glanced through it quickly.

Director Carter took a deep breath.

This list included all those who did not qualify for the issuance, regularization, evaluation, and promotion of teacher qualification certificates, involving 108 teachers in the entire Kenton County education system.

Ironically speaking,

The Charlotte Ramey case is the 108 case, and this list, no more, no less, also happens to be 108 individuals.

"What do you think?"

Director Carter handed the list to Yannick Summers opposite him.

Yannick Summers took the list, glanced through it briefly, and said, "There's nothing to say, since these positions were obtained through illegal means, they should all be dismissed."

"No way!"

Gwendolyn Lewis shook her head and said, "Some have been on their positions for many years. Although the positions were obtained illegally, they have also been diligent in their teaching roles. Director, I think we can give them a chance."

"How to give a chance?"

Director Carter asked.

Gwendolyn Lewis pondered and said, "Why not organize another exam, and if they pass, they can stay, if not, they will be expelled. What do you think?"

Director Carter nodded, handed the folder back to Yves Quill, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this will be my last order at the education bureau. Let the discipline inspection intervene, if there's no character issue, they can take the exam, if there is, just expel them."

"Alright, I'll handle it now."

Yves Quill nodded and went out.

As soon as he left the door,

Russell Sadler followed and came in.

He glanced at the several leaders inside and said, "Director Carter, the County Committee notified you to come over."

What's meant to come will come.

There is no way to avoid it.

Director Carter smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, I understand, I'm going over now."

After Yannick Summers left first.

Director Carter tidied up and was about to leave, but turned around and saw Gwendolyn Lewis still standing there.

"What's wrong?"

Director Carter asked.

Gwendolyn Lewis expressed concern and said, "Director Carter, are you… are you alright?"

Why ask this way?

After the 108 case broke out,

Evermore Education Group paused its investment in Kenton Vocational and Technical College.

Merely "paused".

The entire project had undergone preliminary argumentation and research. The overall design of the college had been completed, and on Kenton County's side, the infrastructure leading to the college was also finished, spending over 100 million yuan altogether.

In such a situation, everyone believed that once the 108 case ended, this project would be restarted.

But who could have expected, a few days ago, Evermore Education Group called the County Committee, stating that the matter of Director Carter of Kenton County education bureau arbitrarily kidnapping the group's vice president had caused considerable negative impact on the group, believing that Kenton County did not show enough respect to Evermore Education Group. Unless Director Carter's criminal liability was pursued, Evermore would not invest.

This outcome was unexpected by everyone.

Theoretically speaking,

Director Carter's extraordinary actions saved Evermore Education Group from huge losses.

At that time, Gael Bishop, chairman of Evermore, expressed gratitude to Director Carter over the phone.

But just in a month's time,

The attitude changed drastically.

First, Penn Vincent filed a protest with the group, arguing that he had no collusion with Charlotte Ramey.

Then he reported to the Ardmore City Police Department, claiming he was kidnapped by Director Carter and life-threatened by Carter's people, which led him to make those insincere statements.

In this situation,

Frank Bates also stood on Penn Vincent's side, using the group's name to pressure the Kenton County Committee to severely punish Director Carter.

In an imperceptible way,

the County Committee's views on Director Carter gradually split into two factions.

Warren Young and Simon Lewis, who initially supported Director Carter, also had differences in this matter.

Warren Young insisted Director Carter's actions in extraordinary circumstances should be treated differently.

While Simon Lewis believed that no matter the reason, kidnapping is illegal, and Director Carter must face consequences.

It is thus visible.

The person behind Charlotte Ramey has already started to take action.

Today, calling Director Carter over suddenly, no one knows what his fate will be next.

"I'm fine, even if I die hanging from the sky, it's not a big deal."

Director Carter said playfully to Gwendolyn Lewis.

Just as he got out of the car at the County Committee gate,

Director Carter saw Emery Hendricks from afar; he's Warren Young's secretary.

Emery Hendricks also saw Director Carter immediately and hurried over, saying, "Director Carter, Secretary Young asked me to wait for you; he wants you to go to his office first."

"Alright, thank you, Secretary Hendricks."

Guided by Emery Hendricks,

Director Carter knocked on Warren Young's office door.

Upon entering, he saw a worried Warren Young.

In the past month,

Warren Young and Director Carter met countless times and talked countless times. From his words and deeds, Warren Young was quite appreciative of Director Carter, a 27-year-old county education bureau director who brought down a sub-provincial vice mayor; such a feat is mythical to anyone.

Of course, throughout this process, their relationship also became quite close.

"Secretary Young."

Director Carter called out.

Warren Young pointed to the sofa, glanced at his watch, and said, "Only half an hour left; let's talk."

Once Director Carter sat down,

Warren Young sighed and asked, "You should know why the County Committee called you today, right?"

"Yes!" Director Carter nodded in response.

Warren Young paused and said, "Yesterday afternoon's secretary working meeting, everyone unanimously believed you should take responsibility for Kenton County's losses. Although I am the head, this time is different; Mayor Levin personally intervened."
