"What are you going to do to him?"
Upon hearing that Dirk Carter was going to take action against Shane Vincent, Sierra Vincent's first reaction was still one of tension.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to take his life. Your father, he's become obsessed with moving up the ranks; perhaps it's time to send him back to square one."
He sighed as he spoke.
The afternoon at the Work Safety Administration was anything but calm.
As soon as he arrived at work, he discovered that everyone was already in a frenzy.
As soon as Dirk Carter appeared at the door.
Colette Wagner came to greet him.
Nervously said, "Director Carter, you've caused trouble, the Oversight Committee people are here."
Oh? So quick with their actions?
"Who else?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Colette Wagner paused and said, "Deputy County Head Vincent is here too."
Just as expected.
All manner of shady characters have come out to play.
This is now the climax of this farce.
Pushing open the door to the meeting room, it was already packed.
Apart from Shane Vincent sitting at the head, looking grim.
The Work Safety Administration leaders were all waiting anxiously for something.
Most importantly, Adair Meyer was also present on the scene.
Though seated, his face was pale, indicating he was quite weak.
His outcome wasn't good.
When Ewan Forrest's sisters returned, they told him, although nothing exploded, the doctor also said that his function would be affected for a long period, repeatedly advising him to stay away from women for the short term, or it would lead to serious consequences.
Upon seeing Dirk Carter, his eyes lit up with anger.
He looked as if he wanted to devour him whole.
Dirk Carter's appearance caught everyone's attention.
Everyone wore a strange expression, but most were dismissive, for they believed Dirk Carter was in trouble.
"Take a seat."
Shane Vincent pointed to an empty seat beside him.
That was specifically reserved for Dirk Carter.
As soon as Dirk Carter sat down.
Shane Vincent cleared his throat.
Said, "Let's start the meeting. Today at the Work Safety Administration, we're here to address one issue. I've received news that there's a serious conflict between the Work Safety Administration and local businesses, which is a bad start. It exposes that some within the Work Safety Administration are overly brutal in handling issues. To maintain political and business stability, I've decided to temporarily suspend Comrade Dirk Carter from his deputy director position at the Work Safety Administration. The issue of abuse of power has been handed over to the County Oversight Committee for investigation."
Once the decision was announced.
Everyone started whispering.
Especially Adair Meyer, who smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with the outcome.
"Comrade Dirk Carter, do you have anything to say?"
"No."
Dirk Carter shook his head.
No defense at all?
This didn't quite fit Dirk Carter's character.
However, Shane Vincent paid it no mind, after all, in his eyes, the Apex Gardens issue was something Dirk Carter could not handle.
He nodded slightly.
Said, "Alright, the decision has been announced, meeting adjourned, Dirk Carter and the Oversight Committee members stay behind."
Everyone stood up in groups of threes and twos.
Left the meeting room.
There were seven people left in the meeting room at this time.
Apart from Dirk Carter, Shane Vincent, and Adair Meyer.
There were four Oversight Committee members.
The leading one was the Director of the First Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Office, Alden Crawford.
It's evident he was brought in by Shane Vincent to support him.
After the outsiders had left.
Shane Vincent glanced at Alden Crawford.
Alden Crawford waved a hand, and two disciplinary inspectors went to the door of the meeting room, standing guard to prevent outsiders from entering and also to prevent Dirk Carter from escaping.
"Dirk Carter, now that there's no one else here, we should properly settle accounts between us, right?"
Everything was ready.
Adair Meyer spoke up.
Dirk Carter remained calm, asked, "It seems there's nothing between Director Meyer and me to settle."
"You know yourself."
Adair Meyer said through gritted teeth.
Dirk Carter nodded slightly, said, "Director Meyer is probably referring to the incident where you were intercepted while drugging women, right?"
As soon as he said that.
Adair Meyer's face turned blue and then red.
He slammed the table, angrily shouted, "Dirk Carter, you bastard, today I'll kill you."
As soon as the words fell.
Alden Crawford and another cadre walked behind Dirk Carter, gripping his shoulders and pinning him firmly to the chair.
"Do you actually dare to commit violence in the Work Safety Administration?"
Dirk Carter naturally knew what was about to happen.
But he still calmly asked.
"Heh, Dirk Carter, even now you're delusional? Do you really think you have superpowers and can solve everything? I'm telling you, right now you won't find any help. Even if we cripple you, what can you do?"
Shane Vincent slowly stood up, walked to Dirk Carter's front and sneered.
"Oh? That tone doesn't sound like that of a Deputy County Head, more like an executive's tone."
Dirk Carter said.
Shane Vincent laughed heartily.
Said, "Kid, you've got good wits. Regret opposing me now, don't you?"
"Deputy County Head Vincent, have you heard a certain phrase?"
"What phrase?"
"Partners in crime, you're the wolf, Adair Meyer is the jackal; you're birds of a feather, neither of you is any good. Just as they say, birds of a feather flock together, indeed."
"Dirk Carter! You're courting death!"
Adair Meyer finally couldn't sit still.
He stood up quickly.
Perhaps he moved too fast.
Which triggered the nerves in his crotch, making him wince slightly.
Next.
He grabbed an ashtray from the meeting table and said to Alden Crawford, "Spread his legs."
Alden Crawford obediently complied.
They each gripped one of Dirk Carter's legs and forcefully pulled them apart.
"Today I'll let you experience the pain of losing everything."
Said.
Adair Meyer swung the ashtray, aiming to hit Dirk Carter.
He could hit other places, but not the vital spots.
Dirk Carter wouldn't just sit and take the beating.
With a forceful kick, Alden Crawford couldn't hold him.
Dirk Carter kicked out, not missing, hitting Adair Meyer squarely in the crotch, the recently recovered area took another hit.
With a thud.
The ashtray fell to the ground.
Adair Meyer clutched his crotch, his face twisting in pain, pointed at Dirk Carter and said, "You... you bastard, you're courting death, beat... beat him to death!"
Alden Crawford was furious.
Waved his hand.
Four Oversight Committee members surrounded Dirk Carter.
Just as they were about to make a move.
With a bang.
The meeting room door was pushed open.
Two people walked in side by side.
Upon seeing who it was, everyone in the meeting room was stunned.
On the left was Secretary Hughes, on the right was none other than Organization Department Minister Alfie Grant.
Two County Committee members appearing simultaneously.
This was something no one anticipated from the start.
Though Shane Vincent was also surprised.
He wasn't flustered.
With a cold laugh, he said, "Secretary Hughes and Minister Grant, are you both planning to meddle in this too?"
