A Bumpy Road to Power

"Hey, what exactly do you do? Why are you so rich?"

At this moment.

Mona finished her "tour" and sat down on the sofa to ask.

"You don't know his occupation?"

Mona asked in surprise.

Mona shook her head.

And said: "I don't bother with useless things like that."

Mona snorted coldly and said, "Listen carefully, he is a standing committee member of the Silverwood City Committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Mona's expression changed.

Ordinary people might not know what a standing committee member represents, but Mona clearly does.

She stood up and was about to leave.

Dirk Carter said in a deep voice, "Mona, you think you can escape? If I wanted to send you to the police, it would just take a phone call."

Mona shivered slightly.

She turned around to face Dirk Carter and said with a playful smile, "Boss... I mean... Leader, Leader, you see, I haven't caused you any harm, and besides, it was that Mr. Cui who hired me. At most, I'm just an accomplice..."

"You sure know a lot."

Dirk Carter teased.

Mona mumbled, "Of course, I'm from the Law School."

"You studied law?"

Dirk Carter asked in surprise.

Mona didn't dare to deny it and nodded reluctantly.

"So why are you doing this kind of thing? Are you looking for trouble?"

Mona pouted and said aggrievedly, "I'm just working part-time to support myself; I couldn't find an internship. I was almost broke, and this job pays quickly, so I just..."

At this point.

She suddenly raised her right hand and said solemnly, "Leader, I swear to you I will never do this kind of thing again. Please let me go this time, okay?"

"Alright, alright, I didn't intend to do anything to you. Besides, you helped me a lot today. I noticed you seem familiar with Majestic Peak Town. Are you from there?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Mona nodded, then shook her head, and said, "I lived there for a few years, so I'm somewhat familiar with it."

"You lived there for a few years? What do you mean?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Mona showed a reluctance on her face.

After much hesitation, she revealed the truth to Dirk Carter.

When she was six, her parents divorced, and she was granted to her mother.

Her mother later remarried a man from Majestic Peak Town, and then she followed her mother there.

She lived there until she was sixteen.

Her mother died from an illness.

So, she returned to her biological father.

It turned out her father had also started a new family, and there was no place for her in the home.

Helplessly, Mona moved out by herself.

Although her father covered her tuition during her studies, he didn't provide for her living expenses. Over the years, she had always figured out ways to earn money to support herself.

This is also why she'd earn money any way she could.

After she finished speaking.

Dirk Carter and Mona both fell silent.

Compared to this girl, Dirk Carter at least had not worried about livelihood, and Mona even less, though not very wealthy, they at least did not worry about food and clothing.

"Okay, I understand."

Dirk Carter nodded.

He took out a wad of money from his bag.

And handed it to Mona.

Mona waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Leader, it's enough that you are not holding me accountable, I can't accept this money."

"This money is not for free; you have to do something for me."

Dirk Carter said.

"What is it?"

"To take action against Brent Lowell, it will definitely take time, but first, Braulio Golding and that informant need to be found. You're familiar with Majestic Peak Town, see if you can find out any information about these two people."

Dirk Carter said.

Mona showed a look of difficulty on her face.

"Leader, this is a bit challenging for me."

"It's alright, just accept it for now. I know it's difficult; even if you can't find out anything, consider it your work fee. But there's one condition: you must ensure your own safety, nothing must happen to you."

Dirk Carter's words.

Reassured Mona.

She took the money.

Licked her fingers and counted it.

She discovered it was six thousand dollars.

Instantly she beamed with joy.

And said, "Rest assured, Leader, I may not have other skills, but I'm top-notch at keeping myself safe. I'll head to Majestic Peak Town now, and the moment I have any news, I'll contact you."

After obtaining Dirk Carter's phone number.

Mona hurriedly left.

Seeing this.

Mona asked, "Aren't you afraid she's lying?"

Dirk Carter chuckled.

And said, "She's not even a student; that set of excuses was made up on the spot. This person, ah, has nothing but lies in her mouth."

Mona was taken aback.

And asked, "Then why did you give her so much money? Isn't that money down the drain?"

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

And said, "She's a smart person; after seeing this villa and witnessing my generosity, she won't let go easily. If she were just a student, I wouldn't let her do such dangerous things. This woman must have some means."

"What made you see that?"

"It's simple; when we went to rescue you, any ordinary woman would have been scared to death. But she wasn't; the entire time, she wasn't nervous, even seemed a bit excited. It's clear she's seen the world."

Dirk Carter said.

Mona nodded, half understanding.

At this moment, Dirk Carter stretched a bit.

And said, "Alright, it's not early, you've also been shocked, so get some rest. There should be a bedroom upstairs; just pick one. There are many things to do tomorrow, so I'll rest too."

After saying this sentence.

Dirk Carter dragged his luggage upstairs...

A night passed without words.

The next day arrived quickly.

When Dirk Carter left the house, he left a spare key for Mona and went to work.

At nine-thirty in the morning.

Dirk Carter called Rapp Carter, the director of the Discipline Inspection Office, from his office.

Two minutes later.

Rapp Carter knocked on the door breathlessly and came in.

"Leader, you wanted to see me?"

Rapp Carter asked.

"Have the three deputy secretaries arrived?"

Dirk Carter asked directly.

Rapp Carter showed a look of difficulty on his face again.

Just by seeing this expression, it's clear.

The three deputy directors were still avoiding him, clearly trying to give Dirk Carter a hard time.

It seems that the first hurdle Dirk Carter faced upon taking office had already appeared.

"Did they request leave?"

Dirk Carter continued to ask.

Rapp Carter hesitated for a long time and then shook his head, saying, "No."

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Since they haven't requested leave, mark them absent. Notify the other leadership team members, however many there are, to meet in the conference room in fifteen minutes. Anyone not present will be marked as absent."

After leaving this sentence.

Dirk Carter gave Rapp Carter no chance to make excuses.

He walked straight out the door and headed towards the conference room.
