"Director... Director Carter, I... I was wrong, I... these photos can't be made public, I'm begging you."
If Callen Wright and the others were still around, Colette Wagner wouldn't lower herself so quickly.
At this moment, she was begging with snot and tears.
Dirk Carter smiled slightly.
He said, "These photos, I'll keep them for you, Director Wang, after all, they're safest with me. But, I still need to charge a storage fee."
Storage?
Putting it nicely, it was storage.
Not so nicely, it was a weapon to threaten Colette Wagner.
Of course, there weren't actually any photos in the camera.
"Director Carter, just say it, as long as I can do it."
Colette Wagner said.
Dirk Carter paused, then asked, "Who hit Brigham Langdon?"
Upon hearing this question.
Colette Wagner's whole body shivered.
She looked like she wanted to speak but hesitated.
Seeing this, Dirk Carter began fiddling with the camera again.
Colette Wagner started to panic and said, "It was Gilroy Thompson, it was Gilroy Thompson who brought people to beat him."
"And what about the electrical work permit? The person collecting the money was also him, right?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Colette Wagner swallowed hard.
She said, "Yes, the distribution of special industry certificates is managed by him. For each certificate, he collects about two thousand yuan."
"Does everyone in the bureau know about this?"
"Everyone knows, and Gilroy Thompson doesn't take it all for himself either. He always allocates some to the bureau's small treasury, and parts of our bonuses come from there."
Another shocking revelation.
Originally, Dirk Carter thought this matter was the behind-closed-doors operation of certain individuals, monopolizing the interests.
It turns out, after all this time, that everyone in the Work Safety Administration is aware of the game.
Each certificate is two thousand.
This is indeed a considerable income.
Then.
Dirk Carter asked about some things regarding today's leave.
Colette Wagner was truly open and frank.
After the original deputy director was transferred, Adair Meyer had always intended to promote Gilroy Thompson. This way, the money path of distributing certificates could be completely controlled by the two of them.
Dirk Carter's sudden appointment disrupted their plans.
Adair Meyer, in anger, gave everyone a leave, intending to give Dirk Carter a show of force, consequently causing Dirk Carter's authority in the Work Safety Administration to collapse, making it impossible to counter him.
As for Colette Wagner...
She didn't usually have much time for secret rendezvous.
She took this opportunity to call Callen Wright to the office for a good time.
After all, in her view, even if Dirk Carter came to report to work, he wouldn't possibly come in seeing the locked doors.
Little did she know, Dirk Carter not only came in, but a reporter also sneaked in.
A good moment of passion was interrupted, leaving a handle in the hands of others.
Truly unlucky.
"Found it!"
Suddenly.
The office door was pushed open.
Zoey walked in excitedly with a folder.
She said, "Brigham Langdon not only passed all three exams, but in two, he got full marks."
Dirk Carter took the file and glanced at it.
Indeed.
Brigham Langdon's assessment results were quite good.
Even so.
Because he didn't give a bribe.
Despite taking the exam three times, he didn't receive his certificate.
Now, he has been beaten, and he has to pay all the medical expenses himself.
"Director Wang, were you involved in this matter?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Colette Wagner repeatedly waved her hands.
She said, "Of course, I wasn't involved. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the qualifications. Gilroy Thompson is Adair Meyer's person, such a good money path, he couldn't possibly hand it over."
That makes sense.
Since Adair Meyer has already made a move.
If Dirk Carter doesn't counter, he would just have to take the beating.
When a new official takes office, three fires are set.
The first fire would directly burn Gilroy Thompson.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, his phone suddenly rang.
Surprisingly, the call was from Zoey Moss.
Without thinking much, he quickly went to the corridor, and as soon as he answered the call, Zoey Moss's anxious voice came through: "Dirk, just now... just now, Alfie Grant asked me to drive to Little Wang Village to pick up a guest..."
"Little Wang Village?"
Dirk Carter was taken aback and asked.
Zoey Moss said, "Yes, I confirmed, it's Little Wang Village."
"Looks like Alfie Grant is about to make a move. You go there now, I'll be there shortly!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Regarding Dirk Carter, Zoey Moss evidently had complete trust.
After hanging up the phone.
Dirk Carter turned back to the office and said to Colette Wagner, "I need you to do something for me. I promise today's events will never be exposed."
"Director Carter, please tell me."
Colette Wagner said.
Dirk Carter thought for a moment, then said, "Immediately gather the disciplinary inspection team, wait for me in your office, I'll come in the afternoon and give further instructions."
Colette Wagner had no other options.
She could only follow Dirk Carter's orders.
She nodded and said, "Okay, do I need to inform anyone else?"
"No need, follow all my commands, and if anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame, it won't be your responsibility."
After speaking, he turned to leave.
"What about me?"
Zoey grabbed Dirk Carter and asked.
Dirk Carter smiled and said, "You stay here and wait. Don't worry, this firsthand news will definitely be yours to break, I promise you."
And so.
Dirk Carter left the door of the Work Safety Administration, got on his motorcycle, and headed towards Little Wang Village.
Why was Dirk Carter so tense?
It was because of this particular location, Little Wang Village.
Little Wang Village is a hamlet in Mid-Hill Street, somewhat remote, and more importantly, demolition began last year for the future Stillwater County Sports Complex to be built there.
Later, because the funds weren't in place, the project came to a halt.
Little Wang Village now, is a deserted village.
Alfie Grant chose that spot because if anything happened, Zoey Moss would find herself helpless and alone.
It must be said.
He's truly cunning and insidious.
Around ten-thirty in the morning.
Zoey Moss drove slowly into the boundaries of Little Wang Village.
Everywhere were broken walls and scattered debris.
If she hadn't known in advance what Alfie Grant intended, Zoey Moss might not have been so nervous, especially in broad daylight.
But now, even her hands gripping the steering wheel were trembling.
Soon.
The road ahead was blocked by rubble.
Zoey Moss took several deep breaths, mustered up her courage, opened the car door, and stepped out.
"Ring, ring!"
Suddenly, the phone rang without warning.
Zoey Moss was startled.
She took it out, and the call was from Alfie Grant.
"Zoey, have you arrived?"
On the phone, Alfie Grant sounded as if nothing was amiss.
Zoey Moss tried to steady her emotions.
She said, "Alfie, I've arrived. Where's the person you wanted me to pick up?"
"Do you see a three-story building in the middle of the village? He's inside there, take him to the eatery!"
Zoey Moss looked carefully.
Indeed, in the center of the ruins, there was a three-story building. Although the windows and such had been removed, the main structure was still intact.
"Okay, I got it."
After hanging up the phone.
Zoey Moss looked around.
Since Dirk Carter said he would come.
He might already be there, just hiding somewhere.
Thinking of Dirk Carter.
Zoey Moss felt a slight sense of security.
Just as she was about to head towards the three-story building, suddenly, a hefty arm wrapped swiftly around her neck from behind...
