Bartel Perry was speechless.

It could even be said that he was forced into a corner.

For a moment, he was choked up and couldn't say a word.

Chadric Gates was in the same situation.

From the moment Ewan Forrest accused Dirk Carter on the spot, he also believed that the victory was assured.

But who would have thought that Dirk Carter had a backup plan, perfectly replicating the logic between him and Bartel Perry.

Now, he was also in a dilemma.

Taking action against Dirk Carter would mean Jaden Lawson and Theodore Hughes were at risk.

If he didn't, then today's farce would be a complete joke, and if it spread, his reputation as the new mayor would be tarnished.

Moreover, he now understood why Yolanda Woods appeared at the scene, one was to see him make a fool of himself, the second was as a supervisory role, after all, if she wasn't there, Chadric Gates and Bartel Perry could have done as they pleased, but with her present, many things naturally couldn't be done openly.

Could it be that all of this, from the very beginning, was planned by Dirk Carter?

Thinking of this, Chadric Gates took a deep breath.

He slowly stood up.

Helplessly said, "Comrade Bartel Perry, as the district director, doing things so irresponsibly reflects extremely poorly, apologize to Comrade Dirk Carter!"

This statement was extremely severe.

Bartel Perry was just about to argue.

Then changed his mind.

After all, as a leader, at crucial times, he still had to cover for the leader, quickly nodded and said, "Mayor Gates, it was my lack of thoroughness."

After he finished speaking.

Facing Dirk Carter, he bowed at ninety degrees and said, "Commissioner Carter, I apologize for my negligence."

Originally, he thought that as long as Bartel Perry admitted his mistake, this matter could pass.

At this moment, Yolanda Woods cleared her throat.

Stood up and said, "Comrade Bartel Perry, make a mistake and just apologize?"

"Secretary Woods, I..."

Bartel Perry was nervous, not knowing what to say.

At this very moment.

His hope was all on Chadric Gates.

Yolanda Woods continued, "Being careless leads to major mistakes, stirs up conflicts between units, almost causes a major disaster, if just an apology can end it, then why do we need the law, why do we need our party's discipline and national law? Either you resign due to your mistake, or I let the Discipline Inspection Commission intervene, it's up to you."

With Yolanda Woods' words.

Bartel Perry's heart sank to the bottom.

He looked despairingly at Chadric Gates.

Chadric Gates cursed Yolanda Woods' ancestors in his heart.

Knowing that this was his first move after becoming mayor, if this move already led to defeat, then who among those who rely on him would dare to work for him in the future?

But it seemed like there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

With a resolute heart.

He said, "I agree with Secretary Woods' opinion, when you make a mistake, you have to bear it yourself, Comrade Bartel Perry, you'd better resign."

This compromise meant Chadric Gates' first round of defeat was inevitable.

A certain victory.

Ended up in such a state under the constant pressure from Dirk Carter, feeling utterly miserable inside.

Hearing this.

Bartel Perry's legs went weak.

He almost sat down on the ground.

Staying any longer served no purpose.

Chadric Gates glared at Yolanda Woods, who caused the trouble, and left angrily.

"Good boy, actually had this up his sleeve."

Anselm Hall was thrilled.

Couldn't help but punch Dirk Carter.

His happiness was not only because Dirk Carter was alright, but also because after this farce, Dirk Carter and the alliance with Jaden Lawson and Chadric Gates were completely broken, and he no longer had to worry about Dirk Carter being poached by Jaden Lawson.

Next, without a doubt, the war between Dirk Carter and Jaden Lawson was about to begin.

If this is accomplished, the "rewards" from above would be enough for him to "live in clover."

"Secretary Woods, thank you."

At the entrance of the Florin District Police Precinct.

Dirk Carter and Yolanda Woods watched as Chadric Gates left in embarrassment.

Dirk Carter said to Yolanda Woods, who was about to get in the car.

Yolanda Woods didn't show much of a triumphant expression, even though it was a resounding victory, it had dampened Chadric Gates' arrogance and damaged his reputation, but he was still the mayor now, a fact that could not be changed.

"No need to be polite, everyone has their own goals, just mutually using each other."

Yolanda Woods' statement revealed the essence of their cooperation.

The implication was also very clear.

That in the future, she wasn't keen on getting entangled with Dirk Carter again.

Just as she was about to close the door.

Dirk Carter said, "Secretary Woods, can we cooperate again, but this time, let's make it bigger."

"Bigger? What do you mean by bigger?"

Yolanda Woods asked.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "You become the mayor."

Just four words.

Sparked Yolanda Woods' interest.

She stepped out of the car again and paused, asking, "Then what's in it for you?"

Dirk Carter laughed, "It's simple, if I accomplish it, Secretary Woods, just let a friend of mine get promoted one step further."

"Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

Dirk Carter said.

Yolanda Woods paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, just let me know when you need me to do something."

After saying this.

She got into the car and left.

"Let's go, Dirk Carter, we're heading back."

Anselm Hall saw the conversation between the two had ended and warmly invited him.

Dirk Carter asked, "Commissioner Hall, can I take half a day off?"

"Time off? What for?"

"Nothing much, just want to rest after experiencing so much thrilling stuff."

"Alright, I approve. Relaxing is good, then I'll head back to the office first."

After saying this, Anselm Hall also left.

Dirk Carter stood at the entrance of the precinct for a while longer.

An SUV drove over.

Dirk Carter opened the front passenger door and got in. The driver's seat, surprisingly, was Ewan Forrest.

The two exchanged a smile.

Dirk Carter asked, "How much did you get?"

Ewan Forrest glanced at the back seat and said, "Two hundred thousand."

Dirk Carter laughed heartily and said, "Wow, two hundred thousand, Jaden Lawson is quite generous, so does that mean you owe me a fine meal."

"Name your dish, I'm treating."

Just as the words fell.

The rear door opened.

Arlo Yarbrough got in.

Excitedly said, "Count me in."

The three of them looked at each other, then burst into laughter again.

With the roar of the engine, they left the precinct.

What exactly happened in this matter?

To understand the reason, we must go back to the two actions Dirk Carter took this morning.

The first thing, when he went to the hospital, he reprimanded a lazy subordinate sleeping on the job, seemingly an ordinary act, but in fact, this was also part of Dirk Carter's plan.

Dirk Carter knew very well.

After Vera Yule was hospitalized, her every move was under Jaden Lawson's surveillance.

If Dirk Carter hadn't assigned someone to protect her, Vera Yule might've already been harmed again.

That day in the corridor.

Dirk Carter said in front of Ewan Forrest that he didn't want to see that lazy subordinate anymore.

Ewan Forrest pretended to be angry, slapped that subordinate twice, and directly kicked him out of the team.
