A Bumpy Road to Power Chapter 534 534:

"What did you just say?"

Dirk Carter suddenly interrupted her and asked.

Seeing Dirk Carter's sudden agitation, Renee Carter was a bit taken aback and said, "I said I need to remind you..."

"Not that, you said Fang Xiui is dead too. How do you know Fang Xiui is dead?"

The reason Dirk Carter asked this was because Fang Xiui's body hadn't been found yet, aning her death hadn't been confird. Arlo Yarbrough took the pair of underwear and the bloody stick along with the hair extracted from Fang Xiui's massage parlor to the Rexton City Police Departnt and hasn't returned yet.

So how did Renee Carter know Fang Xiui was dead?

"Yeah, didn't you know? The whole judiciary system is talking about it. You've already found out that Fang Xiui was murdered and got her underwear and bloodstains. Otherwise, why would I tell you everything I know?"

Renee Carter asked in surprise.

Dirk Carter shuddered.

He took out his phone from his pocket.

He dialed Arlo Yarbrough.

On the call, Arlo Yarbrough told him that he hadn't received a written report yet, but the news has indeed spread everywhere. When he got to the police station, he repeatedly emphasized that this matter must be kept confidential, yet sohow it leaked.

"Could it be that soone deliberately leaked this information?"

Renee Carter sat up and asked.

Dirk Carter's face was sullen, and he nodded, asking, "What is Apex Group's Bennett Kane's relationship with the forr Secretary General Jeff Hughes?"

Renee Carter pondered for a mont.

Then said, "Not great, I guess. They rarely had interactions in public. When the new materials company was established, it seed Jeff Hughes didn't even attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. How does this relate to the information leak?"

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "We can't confirm now. Let's put this matter aside for the ti being. Put your clothes on first."

Renee Carter asked, "What's wrong?"

Dirk Carter said, "The plan you used to call here was impeccable, but now that I've found out about Fang Xiui's death, the news has spread. Bennett Kane won't sit idly by; he'll definitely send people to follow . I've co to this bathhouse, and you're in this bathhouse too. It's easy for them to think we're eting here. It's likely they'll take action. I've been here for half an hour; if my guess is correct, their people will be here soon."

Hearing this, Renee Carter realized the danger.

No longer caring about her underwear, she quickly dressed.

Dirk Carter pushed the door open, glanced into the corridor, and confird there was no imdiate danger before saying to Renee Carter, "Let's go!"

As soon as they stepped out the door, they heard a voice from the corridor's corner say, "Box 258, let take you there."

It was the voice of the previous female attendant.

The two exchanged glances.

Retreating was not an option.

In a mont of desperation, Dirk Carter decisively pushed open the door of a secure room next door.

Fortunately,

the room was empty.

But the room was large with nowhere to hide.

Dirk Carter pointed to a small bed in the room and said, "Get under it."

"It's so small, how can it hide both of us?"

Renee Carter asked.

Ti was of the essence.

Dirk Carter crawled in first and said, "Co on, lie on top of ."

At this mont, it was the only option.

Renee Carter rolled onto the floor and, with Dirk Carter's help, lay on top of him.

The width wasn't enough, but the height was.

Thus, their bodies were completely hidden.

Renee Carter wasn't wearing underwear,

and her soft, large breasts pressed against Dirk Carter's chest, the soft bounciness feeling extrely comfortable, and at this mont, their faces were close together, eyes eting, making the position quite suggestive.

To keep from falling,

Renee Carter had to tightly embrace Dirk Carter's waist.

"Secretary General Carter, can we not think about those boisterous things right now?"

Renee Carter said with a wry smile.

Dirk Carter replied, "I'm not thinking about anything."

"Don't say you're not thinking. If you press any harder with your 'gun,' it'll be poking inside."

Renee Carter said.

Dirk Carter blushed. It was only then he realized that the inconsiderate thing had sohow stood up, pressing right against Renee Carter's most private part.

He was just about to explain.

When he heard the distinct voice of the female attendant close to his ears: "No, they were obviously inside. I've been watching the corridor entrance all along and didn't see them co out."

"Is there anyone in the next room?"

A man's voice asked.

The female attendant said, "No, it's empty."

As soon as she finished speaking,

with a creak.

The door was pushed open.

A pair of feet in leather shoes appeared, rushing into the bathroom inside, not spotting anyone, then circling around the room.

At this mont,

their hearts were in their throats.

If the man slightly lowered his head, he would see the two stacked like building blocks.

The man's gaze also landed on the small bed.

He just prepared to squat down,

when a scream ca from outside: "Ah... how could there be a man..."

It was a female guest's shout.

All at once, many doors opened, and screams echoed.

The female attendant got scared,

quickly pulling the man from the room, saying, "Let's go, hurry up, it'll be bad if they call the police."

After all, it was the won's bath area.

The man didn't dare cause a public outrage either,

so hurriedly fled.

The two didn't rush to co out.

They waited for about twenty minutes.

The commotion outside gradually settled.

Seizing the mont when the female guests went to the front desk to argue,

with Renee Carter covering him, Dirk Carter once again went to the restroom and climbed over to the n's bath area.

A few minutes later,

the two walked out of the bathhouse entrance.

At this mont,

In the Eastgreen Gardens District on Taigu Street, Koryn City,

two n in black clothes and black baseball caps appeared at the guard post of the residential area.

The dozing security guard jolted awake, suddenly seeing two n in the guard room. Just as he was about to stand up and scold them, a baton ca crashing down on his face.

The guard grunted as he fell off the recliner.

Unconscious on the ground.

The younger man in black walked directly to the electrical control box, yanking a few wires until all the monitoring systems went dark.

They turned off the lights in the guard room.

Then shut the door.

And swaggered into the community.

Using the security guard's card to unlock the stairwell door, they climbed up to the door of a room on the 5th floor.

The middle-aged man crouched down.

After fiddling with a pair of iron wires in the door lock, there was a click, and the door opened.

They exchanged a glance.

And walked into the pitch-black room.

In the bedroom,

a man and a woman were sleeping soundly, completely unaware that strangers had entered their room.
