73: Chapter 73: Doubts 73: Chapter 73: Doubts In an office, Edward Carter, who was in charge of transportation, was sitting there, lost in thought.
After several phone calls, Edward Carter beca increasingly nervous.
What’s going on?
Edward Carter was a little confused about the situation.
His forr secretary had just been transferred to work in a poverty-stricken county, and before he could settle in, a corruption scandal broke out.
A previous call was made to Sunshine Province, looking for Dexter, an old friend.
However, according to Dexter, he didn’t know anything about it before the case was directly taken down by the Higher-Ups’ group.
How strange!
Upon hearing this news, Edward Carter made another call to the relevant departnt.
However, the respondent showed a strictly business attitude when faced with Edward Carter’s questions, even an acquaintance who had shared als with him acted evasive.
This is big!
Edward Carter realized after making two phone calls that a significant event might happen.
When he made another call to his old leader, he got a clue that it was his secretary who caused the problem, and of course, it also involved him.
On this matter, his old leader was powerless and only ntioned that the road construction funds were involved.
The old leader even warned that if this matter wasn’t handled well, not only would his promotion be jeopardized, but his current position might be jeopardized as well.
Upon hearing this, Edward Carter beca anxious, as he had never been this passive before.
“Imdiately find out what Rafael Murphy has done, especially on the road construction funds!”
Calling his secretary in, Edward Carter imdiately issued the order.
Seeing that the secretary had not left, Edward Carter glared and said, “Get out!”
Edward Carter’s secretary, Percy Evans, said: “Boss, there’s not much about Rafael Murphy, especially after he moved to that poverty-stricken county.
Every single thing he did was reported, including the road construction project which he initiated to gain political achievent quickly.”
It was then that Edward Carter rembered and quickly found that report.
After carefully reading it for a while, Edward Carter wondered, “I don’t see anything wrong, what is this kid up to?”
“Boss, there is one thing here that I suspect might be related to this matter.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Boss, Rafael Murphy ntioned so funding problems initially, and you made a call to Sunshine Province to allocate funds from other places to Rafael Murphy to ensure the implentation of his plan, didn’t you?”
Edward Carter then recalled and asked, “Rafael did say that there was a boss who wanted to sponsor the construction of a road.
At first, he wanted to make it a simple repair, but later, one of their leaders was saved by the person, and a million dollars were allocated, right?”
At this point, Edward Carter said to himself, “It’s just a small leader.
If Rafael could make this plan work, it would be a significant political achievent, and he could even go further.”
“Boss, I’ve checked into it.
Not only was a million dollars allocated, but four million dollars were also allocated to that road project by the provincial governnt.
At first, I didn’t know who was behind it.
Later, I found out it was also targeted funding.”
“Do you an Henry Martin is up to sothing?”
When he said this, Edward Carter shook his head and said, “I know Henry Martin’s capabilities.
He can’t make such a big commotion!”
Now that he ntioned this, Edward Carter was even more confused.
As soon as he thought about what the old leader had said to him, he felt as if his buttocks were on fire, and his position was in jeopardy.
“Boss, if we’re talking about the funds, it might be related to the boss’s road construction funds.
I think that’s what caused the issue!”
“Did you check who the boss is?”
“Yes, the guy’s na is Peter Brown, and he’s in his twenties.
He just got out of jail after three years.
After his release, he went back to the countryside, contracted to so land, and that’s all we know.”
“What did you say!
A young man from jail and a farr?” Edward Carter furrowed his brows and looked at Percy Evans.
How strange!
Edward Carter has never experienced such a bizarre situation and beca unsure.
Just then, Edward Carter received a phone call from his wife.
“Edward, there’s trouble.
Kira’s company was suddenly seized, and I couldn’t find out who did it despite all my connections.”
“How is Kira?” When Edward Carter heard that his son’s company had been sealed, he was shocked and deeply felt a sword stabbing at him.
If he couldn’t handle it well, he might be finished.
“I got it!”
After hanging up, Edward Carter made several phone calls, but without exception, so people who had been getting along well with him turned evasive.
Finally, Edward Carter got an accurate ssage from a friend – it was ordered by the Higher-Ups, and no one could help him with this matter.
Who did I offend?
Edward Carter felt extrely frustrated.
When he thought of Rafael Murphy’s arrest, he couldn’t help but sweat.
Rafael, as his forr secretary, knew too much about him.
If he were really investigated, it would be a disastrous situation.
Now even his son was implicated.
His son’s company was nothing more than a shell company; the real source of the money was his power.
Through his power, father and son had amassed a lot of wealth.
At this point, Edward Carter really wanted to curse Rafael Murphy for creating such trouble without finding out the situation first and even more, not knowing who he had offended.
Could it be the farr, after all?
Shaking his head, Edward Carter couldn’t believe it was a farr’s doing, no matter what.
Could it be his political enemies?
Considering that he would soon be promoted and that many people were eyeing him, Edward Carter imdiately turned his attention to several influential people in the departnt who might target him.
The more Edward Carter investigated, the more he felt that the matter should be manipulated by these people behind the scenes.
What to do?
Edward Carter’s heart was in turmoil.
Now even if he wanted to use his connections, he couldn’t find a way.
What happened to all his relationships from the past?
