Chapter 1211 - 1211

The Party Secretary has some matters to attend to.

Dirk Carter had no choice but to go.

Besides, he still lacked the ability to confront Keaton Ross.

When he arrived at the Party Secretary's office.

Her secretary, Eudora Hughes, was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

Earlier this morning.

Dirk Carter had met Eudora Hughes briefly during the welcome meeting.

A young lady just over 1.6 meters tall.

Though not very tall, her proportions were quite balanced, especially her long legs.

Her appearance was quite pure, like the girl next door, refreshing to behold.

Generally speaking.

The secretaries of female leaders don't tend to be extraordinarily attractive.

After all, beautiful women can seem unreliable.

But the female secretary of Keaton Ross was top-notch in both looks and figure.

"Hello, Mayor Carter, Secretary Ross is already waiting for you in the office."

Eudora Hughes smiled slightly and said politely.

"Oh, it's my first time coming here, could you lead the way, Secretary Hughes?"

"Sure, Mayor Carter, please follow me."

After speaking.

With her guidance.

Dirk Carter had just reached Keaton Ross's door, ready to open it.

Suddenly.

Eudora Hughes turned around, looking at Dirk Carter with a complex expression. In a lowered voice, she said, "No matter what Secretary Ross says, please do not agree."

Dirk Carter was stunned upon hearing this.

He glanced at Eudora Hughes, somewhat puzzled.

Eudora Hughes gave Dirk Carter a sincere look and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Keaton Ross's voice came from within.

Dirk Carter wanted to ask what she meant by that remark.

But it was already too late.

Eudora Hughes pushed open the door, smiled, and said to Keaton Ross, "Leader, Mayor Carter is here."

"Oh, oh, then please come in quickly, hurry!"

"Secretary Ross."

Dirk Carter walked in.

After greeting him.

He noticed more than one person in the office.

There was also a middle-aged man, whom Dirk Carter had met earlier this morning, Ronan City Police Department's Deputy Director, Keegan Wright.

A few words are necessary here.

Before Dirk Carter's appointment.

The former Director of Ronan City Police Department was transferred externally.

At present, the City Police Department has no Director.

For business matters within the office, Keegan Wright was essentially in charge.

Keaton Ross had already clarified this when he introduced Keegan Wright to Dirk Carter this morning.

Upon Dirk Carter's entry.

Keegan Wright, who was seated, also stood up admirably and greeted him.

"Comrade Dirk Carter is here, take a seat."

Keaton Ross also got up from behind the desk, pointed at the sofa, and said.

Dirk Carter sat down.

Keaton Ross, however, did not sit.

She said to Dirk Carter, "Comrade Carter, I've just received an urgent order to attend a meeting at the provincial level. The police department has a special operation this afternoon that requires leadership to oversee. I don't have time to explain further, so you two discuss it."

After finishing.

She turned to Eudora Hughes at the door and said, "Secretary Hughes, call the driver to dispatch a car, we're leaving now."

"Yes, Leader."

Eudora Hughes nodded.

She glanced at Dirk Carter emphatically.

Dirk Carter caught this inadvertent look.

The words she had said earlier suddenly came to his mind.

He hesitated momentarily, about to refuse.

Keaton Ross, however, didn't give him the chance.

She picked up the briefcase from the desk and hurriedly left.

"Mayor Carter, let's head to the operations center, I'll brief you on the situation on the way."

Keegan Wright said.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Alright, let's go."

Just as Keaton Ross's car drove away.

With Keegan Wright accompanying him, Dirk Carter got into a police car. Soon, they arrived at the Ronan City Police Department building.

During the journey.

Keegan Wright gave Dirk Carter a simple briefing on the case.

At the beginning of this year.

The State Committee held a "Special Fight against Black Criminal Syndicates" meeting, requiring public security agencies in each city and county to launch a vigorous black criminal syndicate sweep and clean-up operation.

After months of meticulous investigation by the Ronan City Police Department.

A black criminal syndicate gang had been identified.

Today was the day to thoroughly capture this gang.

Because the City Police Department has no Director.

The police department hoped to invite a city leader to oversee the command to swiftly address any emergencies during the operation.

Clearing out black criminal syndicates is not a bad thing.

Dirk Carter was certainly cooperative.

The reason was logical.

After all, during the operation, one cannot guarantee there won't be any unforeseen circumstances.

In the hall on the first floor of the police department.

The fighting policemen had already begun to assemble.

At the gates of the Synthetic Operations Center.

The main officers participating in this action were already lined up waiting.

Upon seeing Keegan Wright and Dirk Carter's arrival, everyone started applauding.

"Director Wright, let's not waste time and start directly."

Dirk Carter waved his hand and said.

Keegan Wright nodded.

He addressed everyone, "Alright, let's start the meeting."

With this command.

Everyone rushed into the operations center.

Dirk Carter and Keegan Wright entered after.

Keegan Wright wanted to offer the head seat to Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter sat down in a chair beside it instead, saying, "Director Wright, I've just taken office and am unfamiliar with the situation, so it's better if you host the meeting."

"Okay, Mayor Carter, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying this.

Taking his place at the head of the conference room.

Keegan Wright's expression turned serious.

He picked up the remote on the table and pressed it towards the projector.

A photograph appeared on the screen.

The moment the picture appeared, Dirk Carter suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart.

Because he recognized the person in the photograph.

The man was none other than Cosimo Griffin.

Chairman of Ronan City's Prosper Group, the famous Red-Clothed War God Cosimo Griffin.

He was also Dirk Carter's good friend.

His mind was in a haze.

Keegan Wright spoke, "Comrades, after four consecutive months of investigation, the Criminal Investigation Detachment has gathered incriminating evidence against a criminal syndicate led by Cosimo Griffin. Today's mission is to capture this gang in one fell swoop and restore the people of Ronan City to a brighter future. Do we have confidence?"

"Yes!"

The atmosphere was still lively.

Everyone responded in unison.

Only Dirk Carter's heart was beating rapidly.

At that instant.

He suddenly understood.

The current situation was no accident; it was intentional, and it was aimed at him.

Why did he conclude this way?

Because of Eudora Hughes's warning.

She seemed to want to help Dirk Carter, urging him to decline the task of today.

Unfortunately, Dirk Carter hadn't paid enough attention to her words.

Resulting in the current predicament.

"Mayor Carter, would you please announce the start of the operation?"

At that moment.

Keegan Wright interrupted his thoughts.

Saying to Dirk Carter.

This was a dilemma.

If he announced it, he would be viewed as the overall commander of the operation.

Thus, his relationship with Cosimo Griffin would sour.

Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name.

If he didn't announce it.

It wouldn't make sense either.

With so many policemen present, if he left, it would be hard to explain to those below.

Then those planning the operation might accuse him of protecting Cosimo Griffin, and he would be unjustly labeled.
