Now reading: Chapter 506 506 from A Bumpy Road to Power, a Mature novel by Fan Fan doesn't eat rice..

"Teacher, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Finally, Jeff Hughes couldn't hold back any longer and started to cry bitterly.

Fabian Vincent glanced at him and said, "Go back to the office first, and write a confession letter. The people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection are already on their way. List all the cris you are suspected of one by one, this is your last chance for redemption. Carla Vance, take your leader back!"

At this mont, Carla Vance.

Was also trembling all over.

However, he still helped Jeff Hughes up and took him out of the conference room.

Inside the conference room at this mont.

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Fabian Vincent stood at the position where Jeff Hughes had just been standing.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Several years ago, I had a vision for the Koryn City Economic Developnt District. I conducted a lot of research and inspections that eventually led the Provincial Developnt and Reform Commission to approve my plan. Why did I advocate for the construction of this Economic Developnt District? My goal was simple, to boost Koryn City's economy and benefit its million residents. But what did you people do?"

"An Economic Developnt District made you all rush at it like wolves sniffing out at, without a single thought of doing sothing for the people. You only thought about how to make money from the Economic Developnt District. You claim to be the parents of Koryn City, but do any of you have the deanor of such parents?"

"Faking heroic acts to climb upward, fra colleagues, so even resorting to kidnapping, rape, and murder! I'm not even asking whether you deserve the hats on your heads, but ask yourselves if you've been true to your conscience?"

"Disappointnt, it's such a disappointnt. Look at what Koryn City has beco because of you! It's foul and unbearable to look at!"

...

Another round of words that shook everyone.

Almost everyone on the scene lowered their heads.

Around ten-thirty in the morning.

The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection's vehicle slowly drove into the Koryn City Committee Compound.

Almost everyone in the Municipal Committee and Municipal Governnt saw the scene of Jeff Hughes being handcuffed and escorted into the vehicle.

This scene was hard for many to believe.

47-year-old Jeff Hughes had been in Koryn City for three years, and during these years, he left the impression of a practical person, treating everyone kindly, and always responding eagerly to greetings, with no airs of authority.

Everyone knew that Jeff Hughes ca from poverty, leading by example, even now commuting by bicycle, avoiding car rides whenever possible.

This kind of person, in the end, was found to have amassed over ten million in illicit wealth.

Besides the two won he kept in Prosperity Gardens.

His nurous properties were found to have instances of kept mistresses, and no one could imagine that such a greedy and lustful individual was the sa Jeff Hughes who left the best impression on everyone.

Even more unimaginable was that Cornell Morgan's death was also orchestrated by him, which was simply horrifying.

"Do you feel a sense of victory?"

At the window, Dirk Carter stood side by side with Arlo Yarbrough, watching the scene of Jeff Hughes being escorted into the vehicle in the compound, Arlo Yarbrough asked him.

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "Not a bit of excitent, on the contrary, I feel sowhat sad."

"Why?"

Arlo Yarbrough asked.

Dirk Carter let out a long sigh and said, "I keep wondering if power is the devil, why do those who swore loyalty to the people end up on the wrong path, just like Jeff Hughes? He should have been a good cadre, but eventually he was corrupted, which is truly lantable."

"Have you ever thought about the possibility of ending up like that soday?"

Arlo Yarbrough asked.

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "I won't."

"So sure?"

"Of course, I have faith, strong faith, besides the oath I once made, there's revenge. I've said before, I climbed step by step to this day in order to bring Rasco Shaw to my parents' graves, to my godfather's grave to confess."

"I'll stand by you!"

Arlo Yarbrough reached out his hand to Dirk Carter.

With a click.

The two hands tightly clasped together.

...

The "turmoil" in Koryn City was unprecedented.

The Municipal Committee Secretary was subject to dual discipline, the mayor received a disciplinary action, Cornell Morgan was killed, three incidents erupted simultaneously, causing a shockwave in Koryn City's officialdom.

Five days later.

Jeff Hughes was officially subjected to dual dismissals.

On the sa day.

Gauthier Pace, the deputy district head of Silvercrest District, was dismissed for bribery.

The reason why Jeff Hughes nominated Gauthier Pace as the district head of the Economic Developnt District was for two reasons. First, Gauthier Pace was his junior, and second, Gauthier Pace bribed him with six hundred thousand.

Honestly, if Jeff Hughes hadn't been in such a rush to eliminate Fleur Haney, their retribution might not have co so quickly.

At that ti, he was too careless.

Always thinking he was "invincible."

Boone Jacobson's capture allowed Dirk Carter to gather all the evidence of his cris, which he subsequently passed to Fabian Vincent.

What is this called?

This is called 'the law has long arms and justice will prevail.'

The root causes are greed and overconfidence.

These two points ultimately pushed Jeff Hughes into an abyss.

Due to these continuous incidents, the leadership team of Koryn City, as well as leaders of various departnts, couldn't hope to enjoy the New Year. Besides cooperating with the investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, they were also required to stay at their posts.

After all, stability maintenance was still the top priority.

Dirk Carter also spent New Year's Eve in the office.

Fortunately, Arlo Yarbrough was there to keep him company, so it wasn't too lonely.

Not until the eighth day of the lunar new year did the Rexton City Committee Standing Committee convene a eting, and after announcing three consecutive appointnts, the impact of this turmoil was truly set in motion.

The first appointnt: Removal of Robert Shepherd from the positions of Koryn City Committee mber, standing committee mber, and mayor, assigned as chairman of the Sunridge County Political Consultative Conference in Rylos City. This appointnt effectively ended Robert Shepherd's political advancent prematurely.

Moreover, the direct transfer to another city ant it was practically impossible for Robert Shepherd to make a coback.

The second appointnt: Removal of Josias Rayburn from the position of discipline inspection secretary, transferred to the position of acting mayor of Koryn City.

In this "catastrophe," Josias Rayburn beca the biggest winner.

One reason is that the Economic Developnt District's establishnt agenda necessitated having a local person among the top leaders to effectively mobilize resources from all sectors. Carly Lambert lacked experience, Cletus Lane was too old, so Josias Rayburn, not the best candidate, was pushed to the forefront.

The second reason was the recent issues in Koryn City, making it evident that Rexton City needed to strengthen disciplinary oversight over Koryn City.

Added to this was the reputation he earned in handling the Bennettson Dixon and Ilario Sinclair cases as a champion of righteousness over family ties.

This sudden rise to mayor was simply riding the montum.

Thus, for Josias Rayburn, the person he should thank most for becoming mayor was indeed Dirk Carter.

The final appointnt was concerning Dirk Carter.
