From the living room to the sofa.

The two of them engaged in a thrilling battle.

After it was over.

Daisy Young lay sprawled on Dirk Carter's chest.

Breathing heavily, she said, "How are you so strong? People say there's no such thing as worn-out land, only an exhausted ox. Looks like that saying isn't accurate; you're an inexhaustible ox, and I'm the worn-out land. Every thrust feels like it's taking my life."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Dirk Carter asked with a smile.

Daisy Young spread her legs and said, "Not exaggerated at all. Look, it's swollen."

Dirk Carter reached out to touch it.

Showing off the sticky fluid, he said, "Why do I feel like the water is still flowing abundantly, endlessly, irrepressible."

"You're annoying; I wasn't like this before. Ever since being with you, I don't know what's happening; it feels like the floodgates open any moment, and now I have to wear a pad to work."

"It's not my fault. That's just your nature; I just happened to flip the switch inside you."

Dirk Carter joked.

Daisy Young coyly said, "I don't care, anyway, when I'm thirsty, I'll come find you. Since you caused this, you have to take responsibility."

"Alright, alright, I'll take responsibility. How about we go again?"

"Are you trying to take my life for real?"

Daisy Young protested with her words.

But her body was honest.

As soon as Dirk Carter got up from the bed.

She willingly spread her legs again.

A second round.

Another intense and ferocious thrusting session.

Until Daisy Young's eyes rolled back, her body trembling, only then were they both satisfied and embraced each other to sleep.

At the crack of dawn the next day.

Though tired, they both insisted on getting up.

Dirk Carter hailed a cab to take Daisy Young to the train station.

This time, she delivered the message after work hours, so she had to return to her post this morning.

At the moment of parting.

Daisy Young asked, "You mentioned before that you wanted to verify your suspicion. I don't know what you're planning, but please be safe. If something happens, I won't have anyone to vent to."

"There are no three-legged frogs in this world, but plenty of two-legged men."

Dirk Carter said with a smile.

Daisy Young pouted.

And said, "That's different. No one else can exhaust me like you do. Anyway, take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, for your happy life, I promise nothing will happen."

Dirk Carter waved her off, saying.

...

On the fourth day of Kelton Levin's transfer.

The Organization Department of the State Committee issued two consecutive appointments.

The first: Relieving Chadric Gates from the position of executive deputy mayor and appointing him as a committee member, standing committee member, and acting mayor of Ardmore City.

The second: Relieving Dayton Yancy from the position of head of the Organization Department and appointing him as a committee member, standing committee member, and executive deputy mayor of Ardmore City.

As soon as these appointments were announced.

The entire Ardmore City officialdom was in an uproar.

Regardless of seniority or political achievements, if the new mayor was to be selected from within the city after Kelton Levin left, everyone believed it should be Yolanda Woods, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

Not only because Yolanda Woods was ranked higher than Chadric Gates.

But also because Yolanda Woods had more seniority in Ardmore City than Chadric Gates.

From any angle, it shouldn't have been the low-key Chadric Gates.

Yet, he became the winner.

Upon receiving the news, Dirk Carter wasn't too surprised.

Predictably, Chadric Gates' mayoral position was probably secured by Jaden Lawson using every connection he had.

Kelton Levin's departure was likely also related to his maneuver.

Going to such lengths to achieve this, Jaden Lawson was scheming for himself.

To establish a foothold in Ardmore City, he needed a strong ally.

If he chose to work with Kelton Levin, it would merely be an enhancement, but elevating Chadric Gates to the mayor position was a lifesaver.

This way.

To protect Jaden Lawson's interests in Ardmore City, Chadric Gates would definitely spare no effort.

Likewise.

Whether it was Theodore Hughes being "physically castrated" or Jaden Lawson being humiliated, they didn't retaliate these past days, probably waiting for the mayor's appointment.

Once it was done.

Jaden Lawson's revenge would soon come crashing down.

On the second day after the appointments.

Dirk Carter did two things.

The first thing, in the early morning, he went to the hospital to visit Vera Yule.

At seven in the morning.

Ewan Forrest's car stopped at the Customs gate.

They arrived at the Third People's Hospital by seven-thirty.

In recent days, to ensure Vera Yule's safety, Dirk Carter arranged for Ewan Forrest and Rose Forrest to take turns guarding inside the hospital room, and stationed several people outside, achieving full monitoring.

When the two of them walked through the hospital corridor.

A night watchman was dozing off.

Unaware of Dirk Carter and Ewan Forrest approaching.

"Buddy, it's morning, time to wake up."

Dirk Carter patted his shoulder.

The guy woke with a start, jumped up, rubbed his eyes, and said in terror to Ewan Forrest, "Sister Ewan, I... It's my fault. I won't dare next time."

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

And said, "It's fine, rest a bit more if you're tired."

The young man shivered, quickly waved his hands, and said, "Not tired, not tired, not even a bit..."

Dirk Carter patted his shoulder.

And walked into the hospital room.

After visiting Vera Yule, Dirk Carter said to Ewan Forrest, "That guy who was asleep, don't let him show up at the hospital again."

Ewan Forrest nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make sure he disappears."

Dirk Carter sighed and said, "Given Jaden Lawson's personality, he definitely can't swallow this, if he can't handle me, he'll definitely target Vera Yule, so the safety here must be ensured."

"Don't worry, even if something happens to me and my sister, she won't come to harm."

With this assurance from Ewan Forrest, Dirk Carter felt at ease.

The second thing.

At nine in the morning, Dirk Carter knocked on Deputy Secretary Yolanda Woods' office door...

After these two tasks were done.

Dirk Carter returned to the Customs for his regular work.

At two in the afternoon.

Office Director Nathan Walsh hurriedly knocked on his door, urgently saying, "Commissioner Carter, the Municipal Government Office has notified that Mayor Chadric Gates is coming to our unit for research. Please prepare."

Indeed, Chadric Gates' first stop after taking office was Customs.

"Okay, I understand."

Dirk Carter responded nonchalantly.

Looking up, seeing Nathan Walsh still standing there, he asked, "Director Walsh, is there anything else?"

Nathan Walsh pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Uh... well... Commissioner Carter, Commissioner Hall means... you could take a sick leave."

With this said.

Dirk Carter understood the situation.

Anselm Hall naturally knew the purpose of Chadric Gates' visit, asking him to take sick leave was to avoid conflict with Gates.

Dirk Carter laughed and said, "Please tell Commissioner Hall that once Mayor Gates arrives, I will welcome him as well, so the new mayor won't say I lack manners."

"But..."

Nathan Walsh was anxious.

The words were stuck in his throat.

He sighed, turned, and left.

In Anselm Hall's office.

After reporting the situation, Nathan Walsh said.

Anselm Hall was surprised, "Did he really say that?"

Nathan Walsh nodded and said, "That's exactly what he said, I didn't change a word."

This response left Anselm Hall with a gloomy expression.

Mumbling, "This is strange, does Dirk Carter not know that Chadric Gates is here to cause trouble? He surely doesn't stupidly think that being with Customs, Gates can't touch him?"

"You can hide for the moment, but not forever. Maybe Dirk Carter knows there's no avoiding it, so he calmly faces it. Besides, with no evidence on Theodore Hughes' matter, Gates can only intimidate at best. Creating real trouble isn't that easy either."

Said Shelby Linden, sitting on the sofa.
