A lot of people came.

However, during this period, there was one person who never showed up.

That person was Dorothy Zechariah.

Dirk Carter called Dorothy Zechariah several times in the process, but each time the response was that the phone was turned off.

She had been resting at home for a whole month.

The wound on the shoulder was nearly healed.

In recent times, Dirk Carter had been undergoing rehabilitation training, and after a thorough examination by Arlo Yarbrough, it was confirmed that there were no major issues.

As the saying goes, 'no official duties, a lighter body.'

During this time away from the political arena,

Dirk Carter was relatively at leisure.

The first thing he did every morning was to follow the progress of the Aether Group case.

As the investigation into this largest smuggling case in history went deeper and deeper.

Ardmore City's political arena also experienced an unprecedented upheaval.

First, the fall of Secretary Penn Dalton of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

With his fall, a series of heads of the political and legal, prosecution, customs, taxation, and other systems were implicated and removed from their positions, even Chad Perry, the secretary-general of the neighboring state's State Committee, was also caught.

Of course, Easton Perry didn't escape this disaster either.

At the same time.

The Benton Fletcher family massacre case was brought up again.

According to Chad Perry's confession, he failed to negotiate with Benton Fletcher and, after leaving the Fletcher Family, called upon his pre-prepared "hitmen" to murder Benton Fletcher's entire family.

After many years.

This case was re-examined and caused a great disturbance.

The story of Helen Fletcher risking her life, infiltrating The Perry Family for years in search of clues, was somehow leaked, sparking public discussion over dinner.

All of a sudden.

Helen Fletcher also gained fame because of this case.

A few days ago.

The Organization Department of the State Committee decided to remove Helen Fletcher from her position as the County Committee secretary of Kenton County and to transfer her to Ardmore City as a committee member of the City Committee, Standing Committee, and head of the Organization Department.

Helen Fletcher thus took a step into a substantial vice-ministerial position.

Secondly, Dahlia Hughes also had a minor job adjustment.

She left the Organization Department of the City Committee to take on the role of mayor of Lakeshore District in Ardmore City.

Another person is Maeve Winters.

Maeve Winters was promoted by half a rank to the position of commissioner of the Kenton County Police Department.

She is also the first female commissioner in the history of the Kenton County Police Department, as well as its youngest commissioner.

Dirk Carter knew.

These people were not the "masterminds" who solved the Aether Group smuggling case; the reason they were promoted was to silence them, so that the events at Clearspring Manor could be buried forever.

Soon.

Time came around to New Year's Day again.

Dirk Carter was cleaning his house in Stillwater County.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Dirk Carter opened the door and was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "Mr. Quill, what brings you here?"

The one standing at the door was none other than Yale Quill.

Behind Yale Quill stood Luna, dressed casually.

"What? Not welcome?"

Yale Quill asked with a smiling face.

Dirk Carter then realized and said, "What are you saying? You are welcome, of course, please, come in."

With Luna's support.

Both of them entered the house.

As soon as Yale Quill walked into the living room, he remarked, "Your house is quite large, eh? Must have cost quite a bit?"

Dirk Carter's house in Stillwater County was a gift from Caleb Ford to Corrine Quance back in the day.

Corrine Quance gave it to Dirk Carter to live in when she left.

Dirk Carter quickly explained, "I don't have a house; this one belongs to a friend and I'm just temporarily staying here."

Yale Quill nodded at that.

After sitting down on the sofa.

Dirk Carter quickly began to prepare tea.

Luna suddenly walked over and said, "Let me make the tea, you chat with Grandpa."

"You know how to make tea?"

Dirk Carter asked in surprise.

It should be known that before Luna met Dirk Carter, though she was pretty, she had no feminine charm at all; not to mention making tea, she didn't wear anything but a uniform. However, today, she wore a very stylish wool coat that looked beautiful.

Luna had no time to respond before Yale Quill laughed and said, "Our Luna, since meeting you, has changed a lot, not just making tea, she's even learned to give massages, now she's like a proper lady."

"Grandpa, stop teasing me."

Luna said coquettishly.

Her playfulness made Yale Quill even happier; finally, he had a "granddaughter" who lived up to expectations.

He asked, "Dirk, I must ask you, how did you turn our girl into this?"

This question made Dirk Carter's mind buzz.

His heart raced suddenly.

Looking at Luna, who was blushing with her head down.

He couldn't possibly tell the old man that on the very first day he entrusted her to him, he had "taken action" on her?

Thinking quickly.

He replied, "Uh... I haven't really done much; I just took her to experience a lot of things she missed in her childhood. You raised her like a boy, and naturally, she had a boy's character, but if you consider her a girl, she'll naturally be gentle like water."

"Well, I indeed knew Luna's childhood; we owe her a lot. Alright, enough of that, how have you been at home, getting bored yet?"

Finally, the topic changed.

Dirk Carter quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly he said, "It's alright, just life's pretty monotonous being by myself."

Yale Quill nodded.

He said, "The Aether Group smuggling case is now settled; those who should have fallen have fallen, those who should have been investigated have been investigated, except for someone called The Leopard Cat who hasn't been caught yet. Everyone else is accounted for and now comes the trials. So, this time I'm here to tell you that you can prepare to start working again."

"Work? Where to work?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Yale Quill thought for a moment and said, "You can't stay in Serenity State anymore, and I won't explain why to you. But it's good too; you should break free from this circle, go out and see the world, and return when you've grown into a big tree."

"Your meaning is for me to leave the state?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Yale Quill nodded.

He said, "Take you to the end, help you to the end. I was the one who made you resign, so your comeback is something I must be concerned about too. How about going to Janton State?"

"Janton State?"

Dirk Carter replied, surprised.

Luna, who was busy, said, "My grandpa had a former subordinate who, after leaving the army, went to Janton State and is now the Party Secretary of Rexton City."

"You're not going to Rexton City but to a county-level city under Rexton City, called Koryn City."

Yale Quill said.

"What position do I assume?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Yale Quill said, "Head of the Organization Department."

The work in the Organization Department, Dirk Carter had never done, but he believed he could handle it.

After a pause, he said, "Alright, I'll go!"

Yale Quill said with a smile, "I knew you would go."

After speaking, he glanced at Luna.

Luna opened the bag she carried with her, took out a document, and said, "Here, this is your transfer order."

As Dirk Carter was about to take the transfer order.

Yale Quill said, "Before you go, I have one more thing to tell you. The political environment in Janton State is even more complex than in Serenity State. All of your political paths are set in Serenity State, which means all your connections are over there. Janton State is a completely new environment; don't cause trouble as soon as you get there, for I won't help you if you do, do you understand?"
