A Bumpy Road to Power Chapter 768 768:

"Is it true? Did he really deal with lody Holloway?"

Jabez Shaw asked with his mouth wide open.

Franklin Ross chuckled and said, "Of course, my n saw it with their own eyes."

"Could it be an act?"

Jabez Shaw asked cautiously.

Franklin Ross waved his hand, saying, "That's absolutely impossible. My tailing n are specially trained; they can spot an act at a glance. They even moved closer to watch when it happened; there's no mistake about it."

"It shouldn't be. Didn't I hear that Dirk Carter just got married?"

Jabez Shaw said, frowning.

Franklin Ross chuckled.

He said, "Newlyweds living apart can hardly avoid feeling lonely. Besides, lody Holloway is one of the Ten Great Treasures. Even if Dirk hadn't heard of it, that alluring figure would make many n tempted. It's not surprising."

That explanation seed reasonable.

After all, n understand n best.

However, Jabez Shaw still felt sothing was amiss.

After a pause.

He said, "Don't let your guard down. Keep a close watch during this period. If Dirk Carter is indeed such a person, it will be much easier for us."

"Rest assured, I'll handle it."

Franklin Ross said confidently.

The next day.

Dirk Carter swayed as he ca to the door of Jabez Shaw's office.

He lingered for a while.

Seeming undecided about going in.

Just then Jabez Shaw ca out and imdiately saw the hesitating Dirk Carter.

He paused and asked, "Secretary General Carter, are you looking for ? Co in and sit."

"No, no, County Mayor Shaw, if you're busy, go ahead. I'm just wandering around."

Dirk Carter put on an indifferent pose.

Jabez Shaw felt a stir inside.

He said, "I have nothing much going on, it's fine. I can handle it later. Co in and sit."

He appeared to be very polite.

Jabez Shaw pulled Dirk Carter into the office.

Once inside, Dirk Carter's eyes scanned the room before sitting on the sofa.

Jabez Shaw called his secretary Liam Zane to bring tea and then sat across from Dirk Carter, saying, "Secretary General Carter, if you need anything, you can call anyti, there's no need to co personally."

"No, no, County Mayor Shaw, I'm new here, not too familiar with the place, so I'm just looking around."

"Would you like to show you around, introduce you to so people?"

Jabez Shaw asked.

Dirk Carter waved his hand, saying, "No need, that would trouble you, County Mayor Shaw..."

As he spoke.

Dirk Carter's eyes wandered, showing he had sothing on his mind.

Jabez Shaw didn't ask.

After a pause, Dirk Carter seed anxious, struggling to hold back.

As if he suddenly rembered sothing, he said, "County Mayor Shaw, I actually have a favor to ask. Since I'm new here, my secretary is from Rexton City, not familiar with the local work. I noticed that the Deputy Director of the County Committee Guesthouse, lody Holloway, appears capable. Could you..."

At this point.

Jabez Shaw suddenly understood.

He felt a sense of joy.

Yet he pretended to be confused, "Do you an you want to transfer lody Holloway to work by your side?"

"Haha, is that convenient for you, County Mayor Shaw?"

Dirk Carter asked with a grin.

Jabez Shaw waved his hand, saying, "Why ask? You're the top leader; transferring soone is a trivial matter. I'll call Arsenio Dempsey now to arrange it."

The Arsenio Dempsey he ntioned.

Is the head of the Helios County Organization Departnt.

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter's eyes lit up with excitent.

He said to Jabez Shaw, "County Mayor Shaw, that would be incredibly helpful, making my work much easier."

"You're too kind, Secretary General Carter. As I said, if you need anything, just give a call or send your secretary to inform , no need to co in person."

"Okay, I'll head out then."

"Take care, Secretary General Carter."

Jabez Shaw escorted Dirk Carter to the door.

As Dirk Carter left, he humd a tune, swaying, obviously in a good mood.

As the elevator descended.

Jabez Shaw waved to his secretary Liam Zane.

Liam Zane imdiately rushed in.

"What instructions, sir?"

Jabez Shaw pondered for a mont.

Asked, "Are the batch of bugs we placed in the offices still working?"

"Of course, they are.".

Liam Zane said.

Jabez Shaw smiled slightly.

He said, "Keep a close eye on Dirk Carter's office. Report to daily on what he does there."

"Understood."

After Liam Zane left.

Jabez Shaw's face showed a disdainful smile.

Murmuring, "Dirk Carter, I don't care what gas you play. In Helios County, you won't escape my grasp..."

On Dirk Carter's side.

He leisurely returned to his office.

At this ti.

Arlo Yarbrough was busy at the desk.

When he saw Dirk Carter push the door open.

He first made a quiet gesture.

Then pointed to the phone.

Dirk Carter asked with his eyes, "Did you find it?"

Arlo Yarbrough nodded.

Gently lifting the fixed-line phone, he opened a box below and indeed found a small device with a flashing red light.

In a low voice, he whispered in Dirk Carter's ear, "Found it, a bug. You were right."

Dirk Carter smiled faintly.

He said, "Restore it."

Arlo Yarbrough nodded.

He gently put it back down.

Everything was within Dirk Carter's expectations.

Though his ti in politics has been short, Dirk Carter has experienced more than so people do in a lifeti.

He knows these little tricks well.

Now, he and Jabez Shaw appear to have no conflict.

But their rivalry has already started.

At this stage, Dirk Carter's goal is to create confusion. He wants to build the image of a "womanizer" before Jabez Shaw. This will both relax Shaw's vigilance and help him infiltrate the "enemy's" inner circle.

"Prostitution, gambling, and drugs," these three industries.

He's decided to start with "prostitution."

As it's his most skilled area.

At 2:30 PM.

A knock on the door sounded.

Dirk Carter opened it to see lody Holloway standing in front of him.

Jabez Shaw acted swiftly.

Only half a day later, he had already settled this matter.

Of course, his urgency was also to see if there was truly sothing between Dirk Carter and lody Holloway.

Having pre-instructed.

So today, the first eting of the two in the office was ant to be a romantic play.

Imagining.

In so hidden corner.

Soone truly watched their every move through the bug.

The two exchanged a glance.

lody Holloway nervously said, "Secretary General Carter, I got the notice to report to your office..."
