A Bumpy Road to Power

Although at this moment, Liza Yuill didn't know what had happened.

But Dirk Carter's tense expression revealed some clues.

She didn't hesitate.

Directly jumped from the driver's seat to the passenger seat.

Dirk Carter sat down, started the car, and with a slam on the gas, the car shot out like an arrow.

When exiting the parking lot.

Three or four police cars drove in through the gate.

Appearing very hurried.

Just one step away.

Just one step away.

As their car headed towards the main road, Dirk Carter glanced back.

The police had already set up a cordon and started inspecting each vehicle leaving the underground parking lot.

On the way.

Dirk Carter didn't say a word.

Although he was curious about what just happened.

He didn't speak up.

Liza Yuill was the same.

Silently sitting beside him like it had nothing to do with her.

About ten minutes later.

Dirk Carter glanced at the rear-view mirror.

The middle-aged man looked gloomy, appearing very angry.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Dirk Carter asked.

At this point, the middle-aged man responded from his thoughts.

He asked: "Young man, with so many police looking for me, haven't you considered that I might be a bad person? Why did you help me?"

Dirk Carter smiled.

Said: "A bad person wouldn't stand up for the common people. Even if he's bad, he wouldn't be too bad. Since Miss Yuill unconditionally trusts me, I naturally trust you, brother."

"Young man, you've got guts."

The middle-aged man praised.

He said: "At the intersection ahead, drop me off."

Dirk Carter nodded.

When he drove to the intersection ahead, he saw a commercial vehicle parked by the roadside.

After stopping the car.

As soon as the middle-aged man got out.

The man and woman standing by the car hurriedly ran over.

Before leaving.

The middle-aged man looked back at Dirk Carter and said with a smile, "Young man, today I owe you for your help. Otherwise, things could have been terrible. Thank you, we'll meet again if there's a chance."

"Goodbye."

After Dirk Carter waved his hand.

The middle-aged man got into the commercial vehicle, surrounded by the man and woman.

Soon disappeared into the traffic.

Dirk Carter was stunned for quite a while.

It was only then that Liza Yuill leisurely asked, "Do you know him?"

"Don't know him?"

Dirk Carter shook his head.

He wasn't lying.

Although he could guess that this middle-aged man wasn't ordinary.

But he indeed didn't know him.

"Miss Yuill, I really must thank you for today's incident."

Dirk Carter suddenly said to Liza Yuill.

Liza Yuill smiled sweetly.

Said: "You helped me once, I help you once, we're even now."

"Yes, we're even."

Dirk Carter got out of the car.

Returned the car to Liza Yuill.

Said: "Miss Yuill, it's getting late; when I have time, I'll definitely treat you to dinner."

"Oh, okay."

After hearing this.

Liza Yuill was somewhat disappointed.

But she didn't insist.

Just smiled slightly, and the two waved goodbye and parted ways.

Dirk Carter didn't know.

This series of events would later trigger so many chain reactions.

Half an hour later.

Liza Yuill returned to her rented apartment.

After completing today's flight.

She could rest well for two days.

Upon returning home, she collapsed on the sofa.

An overwhelming drowsiness struck.

She thought to take a nap first, and then wake up to shower and eat.

At this moment.

A knock on the door came.

Liza Yuill frowned slightly, got up, and asked: "Who is it?"

A voice at the door shouted: "Miss Yuill, we're from property management, sent to check the water pipes."

Liza Yuill didn't think much.

Groggy with sleep, as soon as she opened the door, what happened next made her instantly awake.

Standing at the door were four unfamiliar men.

As soon as they saw her.

They rushed in together.

One of them covered her mouth, choked her neck, and pushed her inside the apartment.

After the door closed.

A man with short hair who looked sharp signaled to the other two with his eyes.

The other two nodded.

Pulled out handguns from their waists.

When the handguns were held.

Liza Yuill was so scared she didn't dare move.

The two maintained a vigilant posture, separately checking the apartment's bedroom and bathroom. After ensuring there were no outsiders, they quickly closed the curtains.

The short-haired man signaled to the one gagging her.

The man let go of her.

Due to asphyxia, Liza Yuill couldn't help but cough.

"Where's the person? Where are they hiding?"

"Cough cough cough... Who are you? What do you want by barging into my home?"

Liza Yuill asked.

The short-haired man evidently didn't want to answer her questions, his face darkened, and fiercely asked: "I'll ask again, where's the person? Where are they hiding?"

"What person? Who exactly are you looking for?"

"Don't play dumb, the man driving your car today."

"I don't know him!"

Liza Yuill snapped back immediately.

The short-haired man was furious.

He slapped Liza Yuill's face, pointed at her face, and harshly said: "I gave you a chance, honestly tell me, where is he?"

"I really don't know, I don't know who he is."

After such a slap.

Liza Yuill was wronged to the point of tears.

At this moment.

The short-haired man's phone rang.

He swiftly pulled out his phone, and a voice on the line said: "Director Yu, that man got off at Guangxin Road, ten minutes ago, booked a room at The Linwood Hotel."

"The Linwood Hotel? The one opposite the State Committee Compound?"

The short-haired man asked.

The voice on the phone said "Yes."

The short-haired man said: "Immediately surround the area, I'm heading over now."

After hanging up.

Someone asked the short-haired man: "What about this woman?"

The short-haired man, holding his chin, pondered for a moment.

He said: "Take her with us, she's probably that man's woman, she might be useful in a pinch."

"Alright."

The subordinate agreed.

With a click.

Liza Yuill was cuffed.

The man controlling her spoke viciously: "You better behave, otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite."

In this manner.

Liza Yuill was taken out of the apartment by these four men.

Then boarded a commercial vehicle.

Headed towards the State Committee Compound.

At this time.

Dirk Carter had just assured Dorothy Zechariah from his room at The Linwood Hotel, took a shower, and, wearing a bathrobe, lay on the bed intending to rest a while before eating.

By the time he arrived at the State Committee, it was already afternoon.

So Dirk Carter planned to report first thing in the morning.

For convenience.

He simply stayed at the hotel opposite the compound.

Just like Liza Yuill at that time.

As he was almost asleep.

"Ding dong" sounded.

The doorbell rang.

Dirk Carter was suddenly awakened.

Sitting up, rubbing his eyes, he asked: "Who is it?"
