"Seems like you'll have to spend a bit today."
Dirk Carter said with a smile.
Kim Churchill was taken aback and asked, "You mean you can get inside? Hahaha... that's hilarious, don't you know the party school is guarded by armed police? Without the signature of a school leader, not even provincial leaders can get in. Are you joking?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Really? What if I do get in?"
Dirk Carter inquired.
Kim Churchill sneered, "Without the leader's signature, if you get in, I'll call you Brother Dirk in front of everyone here."
"Great, I'm looking forward to it."
Dirk Carter finished speaking.
Snapped his fingers.
A car parked nearby opened its door.
A tall young woman stepped out.
The woman was striking, with an upright posture and a hint of vigor between her brows.
It was Luna.
Kim Churchill was taken aback and teased the crowd, "Oh, are you planning to use a honey trap? Hahaha..."
Luna wasn't annoyed.
She walked straight to the armed police post.
Whatever she said,
The officer on duty saluted her and immediately, the closed iron gate started buzzing and opened slowly under everyone's gaze.
At that moment,
Everyone was stunned.
They knew the rules of the party school.
The armed police couldn't just open the gate casually.
But now, why did an officer open it for a young woman?
Dirk Carter, with Daisy Young and Luna, easily walked inside.
Came to stand before Kim Churchill, and asked, "What did you say earlier? If I manage to get in, what will you call me?"
Kim Churchill's face turned from blue to white.
Looked as embarrassed as could be.
As he struggled to find words,
A voice scolded from behind: "What's all this? Why are you gathering at the gate?"
The crowd was startled.
They turned to see Larry Lewis standing with his hands behind his back, a scowl on his face.
Several school leaders followed behind him.
Seeing Larry Lewis was like seeing a savior, and Kim Churchill rushed forward saying, "Uncle Larry... Principal Lewis, Dirk Carter and the others trespassed on campus."
"Oh?"
Larry Lewis was momentarily stunned.
He looked towards the gate.
Dirk Carter and his companions were already inside the campus.
"Who let you in?"
Rage boiled on Larry Lewis's face.
He walked over to confront Dirk Carter.
Dirk Carter asked, "Why can't I come in?"
"Why? Don't you even know?"
After saying this, he glanced at Daisy Young behind Dirk Carter and sneered, "I've seen shameless people, but not as shameless as you guys. Expelled and still have the nerve to show up here."
"We were framed."
Dirk Carter stated.
Kim Churchill scoffed, "Framed? We've all seen those photos, and you have the gall to say framed? You won't tell us those bed photos are Photoshopped, right?"
Dirk Carter suddenly turned to Kim Churchill and said, "Don't you know best how those photos came to be?"
This one sentence enraged him, and he shouted, "Bullshit, what does it have to do with me? You did those dirty deeds yourselves and are now trying to blame me?"
"Comrade Dirk Carter, please leave immediately, or I'll get people to throw you out!"
Larry Lewis didn't want to waste words.
He directly pointed at Dirk Carter and shouted.
Seeing Dirk Carter unmoving.
Larry Lewis dialed his phone, saying, "Refusing to leave? Fine, don't regret it later when you're charged with attacking a state agency. You'll know how serious it is then."
"Principal Lewis, you really are quite the imposing figure, I didn't know the Executive Vice Principal wielded so much power."
Just as he finished speaking,
A deep voice echoed from the gate.
Everyone was stunned.
They looked up to see a middle-aged man in a white shirt standing at the gate.
All those present were municipal-level cadres from Serenity State, and who wouldn't recognize this person?
In unison, they greeted, "Hello, Executive Thorne."
"Executive Thorne, how... why are you here? Open the gate, quickly open it..."
Larry Lewis immediately flustered and fumbled.
The gate opened once more.
Charleston Thorne entered slowly.
At this point, Kim Churchill sensed something was amiss, because following Charleston Thorne was none other than The Red-Clothed War God himself, Cosimo Griffin, the famous chairman of Prosper Group.
"Executive Thorne, please come inside."
At this moment, Larry Lewis hadn't realized Charleston Thorne came for Dirk Carter.
He hurriedly invited him in.
Charleston Thorne shook his head,
And said, "It's your turf, I'd dare not overstep, I'm just here for one thing, and once done, I'll leave."
When a leader talks like this, those under him are bound to be unsettled.
Larry Lewis wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Executive Thorne, if you have any instructions, just let us know, no need to personally come down."
Charleston Thorne gave him a sour look, said, "Had I not come, how would I know our Principal Lewis here rules over this patch with an iron hand, right?"
"Executive Thorne, what you said..."
Larry Lewis tried to explain.
Charleston Thorne gave him no chance.
He turned to look at Cosimo Griffin beside him.
Cosimo Griffin stepped forward and addressed the curious eyes before him, "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, I am Cosimo Griffin."
"Cosimo Griffin? The famous Cosimo Griffin?"
"No way, why is someone from the underworld coming to a party school?"
"What's going on? Feels like something big is happening..."
…
Hearing this name, everyone started whispering.
Cosimo Griffin walked to Dirk Carter and bowed deeply, saying, "I'm here to apologize to Deputy Magistrate Carter and Bureau Chief Young. Their incident was because I kidnapped them and drugged them, and my people took those photos."
An utter shock.
Another bombshell dropped.
The audience calmed, only to be stirred again.
As soon as these words were spoken,
Tension flashed across Larry Lewis's face.
Looking at Kim Churchill again, he was already trembling with fear.
"Mr. Griffin, why did you frame them?"
Someone in the crowd asked.
Others chimed in.
Cosimo Griffin said, "I wasn't trying to frame them, someone among you wanted to frame them. He approached me, proposing a collaboration, assuring me that once he returned, he'd sign a contract with my company, earning me a significant profit."
The chatter reached a climax once more.
Everyone looked around, trying to find the real culprit among them.
Burrell Yule shouted, "Mr. Griffin, who was the person?"
This question brought instant silence.
Everyone turned their gaze to Cosimo Griffin, eager to know the answer.
Cosimo Griffin extended his hand and pointed towards Kim Churchill, who was now hiding among the crowd, saying, "District Chief Churchill, I've confessed already, we shouldn't be hiding anymore..."
Kim Churchill?
All eyes turned to him.
Some had already guessed the truth, while others were incredulous, puzzled as to why Kim Churchill would do such a thing.
Kim Churchill was panic-stricken.
Instinctively, he shouted, "You're... you're falsely accusing me, there's no such thing, I... I didn't do it."
Seeing this, Larry Lewis.
Hurriedly stood out as well.
He said, "Executive Thorne, Kim Churchill is my student, I don't believe he would do such a thing. If he is to be accused, evidence must be presented, considering Mr. Griffin's identity..."
At this point, he dared not continue.
But everyone understood.
He meant that being a figure from the underworld, Cosimo Griffin's one-sided words couldn't be considered evidence.
