A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 377: Heavy-Hitting Counterattack


After saying this sentence.

The officer was about to push Dirk Carter away from in front of him.

But when he exerted force on his arm.

Dirk Carter didn't move at all.

"What do you mean? Obstructing law enforcement?"

The policeman asked.

Dirk Carter said, "The person is lying inside. You know better than us what her condition is. Do you think it's possible to take her away now?"

"Why not possible? I say it's possible, so it's possible."

The police officer shouted angrily.

Then said, "I advise you to make way immediately, or else, I will take coercive measures against you."

"Fine, you can take me away, but taking her away today is impossible!"

The last three words from Dirk Carter were said with great force.

They completely enraged the police officer.

Without another word, he took out handcuffs from his waist.

At this critical moment.

A voice rang out.

"Officer Vu, you really have guts, daring to handcuff the new customs commissioner, Commissioner Carter?"

It was a woman's voice.

Upon hearing this voice.

Everyone turned to look.

Only to see Dahlia Hughes walking slowly from a distance with her hands behind her back.

At that moment, the faces of the four officers present looked alarmed.

Especially the one who yelled loudly at Dirk Carter, who asked fearfully, "Executive Hughes, who did you say he was?"

At this time, Dahlia Hughes had already arrived in front.

She looked at Deputy Officer Andrew Baldwin of the Huxley Police Station, who had a poor attitude towards Dirk Carter, and asked in surprise, "Turns out Officer Vu doesn't know who he is? Let me introduce him to you then. His name is Dirk Carter. He has just been appointed as the Deputy Commissioner of Customs in Ardmore City."

"Ah?"

With this introduction.

Andrew Baldwin's expression froze.

He looked at Dirk Carter suddenly, scrutinizing him carefully, perhaps never imagining that this seemingly young person in front of him would be a deputy director-level cadre.

"Officer Vu, still planning to put handcuffs on me?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Andrew Baldwin swallowed nervously and said, "Commissioner Carter, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I... I apologize to you."

Surely, it's bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

If Dirk Carter were just an ordinary person, the handcuffs would probably have been put on him already, but he is not an ordinary person, he is a deputy director-level deputy commissioner. Even if given a bold heart, Andrew wouldn't dare act this way.

Dirk Carter paused and asked, "Officer Vu, is Vera Yule really a thief, or is it someone—said she is a thief?"

This question made.

Andrew Baldwin a bit nervous.

Involuntarily glanced at the leader next to him.

The person said, "Commissioner Carter, there might be some misunderstandings here. After we go back, we will properly confirm the evidence. We will definitely give you an answer later."

After saying this.

He gestured to the other three.

Then turned and left.

Watching them disappear into the distance.

Dahlia Hughes asked, "Not planning to make a fuss?"

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "Their purpose here wasn't really to arrest someone but to give someone a warning."

"A warning?"

Dahlia Hughes was taken aback.

Dirk Carter snorted coldly and said, "Come out now, you've been watching the show for quite a while, planning on revealing yourself?"

Everyone hearing this was a bit confused.

Eyes started scanning around.

At this time, at the corner of the corridor.

Someone clapped and walked out, none other than the exquisitely dressed Jaden Lawson, clapping as he smiled and said, "Marvelous, marvelous indeed, it's still good to be in a position of authority. Once Commissioner Carter revealed his identity, even the police station didn't dare make a move. Really opened my eyes."

"Oh? Has Mr. Lawson, a person of great experience, been fulfilled by just this appetizer?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Jaden Lawson gave an evil smile.

And said, "Certainly not. I was just thinking, Commissioner Carter, with your busy official duties, do you plan to sit on a little stool by the ward door every day? If there's a slip-up, Vera Yule might suffer again, what should be done then?"

This sentence was a blatant threat.

"You bastard!"

Arlo Yarbrough, hearing this, was about to rush forward.

But was stopped by Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter chuckled and said, "I admit, before I was negligent. However, from now on, she will lie peacefully inside, and shouldn't face any disturbance, remember, I said any disturbance."

"Oh? Commissioner Carter speaks with great confidence. So confident? If Commissioner Carter is so capable, why not catch the person who harmed her? There's a saying, the law net is expansive but not sparse. I must say, at times, this law net can have its gaps."

Saying these words.

Jaden Lawson's face was filled with confidence and arrogance.

In his view, there's no evidence for the harm done to Vera Yule. Even Dirk Carter can't make the police arrest anyone.

He has done the same thing several times.

At this moment.

Ewan Forrest appeared in the corridor.

She walked straight up to Dirk Carter and handed him an envelope.

Dirk Carter pinched the envelope.

And said, "Mr. Lawson, this morning, someone mailed me a photograph, don't know if Mr. Lawson is interested in such a photo?"

Jaden Lawson smiled smugly, thinking Dirk Carter was deliberately probing him.

And said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? That's strange. Commissioner Carter should thoroughly investigate, with your capabilities, surely you can find the sender, right?"

This was provocation.

And also flaunting.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Mr. Lawson, I have a few more photos here you probably haven't seen. Interested to take a look?"

While speaking.

He opened the envelope.

And pulled out six photos.

Jaden Lawson stretched lazily.

And said, "I'm not interested in Commissioner Carter's photos at all."

"You will be interested, I assure you!"

Dirk Carter didn't wait for his consent.

He placed the first photo in front of him.

Jaden Lawson merely glanced at it, but his smug expression quickly restrained.

Then.

Dirk Carter handed over the second, third... a total of six photos sequentially.

These six photos show scenes of the six people who humiliated Vera Yule with burns on their lower bodies.

It was obvious; Jaden Lawson's hands started to tremble slightly.

His eyes began to turn red, exuding a murderous aura.

"So, Mr. Lawson, aren't these photos more and more remarkable? They were also picked up by my friend from the trash bin. Would Mr. Lawson want to investigate who threw them into the trash?"

Dirk Carter asked.

"You're courting death!"

After holding back for a long time.

He blurted out three words.

Looking at Dirk Carter with fierce eyes, feeling as if his reputation was being trampled.

Dirk Carter simply wasn't holding back anymore.

He coldly looked at him.

And said, "Jaden Lawson, Vera Yule is lying inside. Tell your men, if they dare cross this door, their fate will be worse than your six men here. No matter how arrogant you were before, I didn't care, but now you've provoked me. Just wait; you'll regret doing this."

"Fine, I'm interested to see what you can do, Dirk Carter!"

After dropping this sentence.

Jaden Lawson stormed off in anger.

He waited here today to curb Dirk Carter's arrogance.

To let him realize the consequences of offending him.

But he didn't expect Dirk Carter to be fiercer.

In just a few hours, he not only retaliated but did so efficiently and effectively. The six men who harmed Vera Yule each paid the price.

"Did you just let him go like that?"

Zoey Moss asked angrily.

Dirk Carter sighed and said, "This person has connections everywhere, the police won't arrest him. Plus, we have no evidence on this matter, we can't touch him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have resorted to this method."

"Isn't that letting him off too easily? He's the instigator."

Zoey Moss said through clenched teeth.

Dirk Carter coldly smiled and said, "Don't worry, his end won't be good. Next, I must meet the person behind this game..."
