Chapter 745 745:
The auxiliary police officer smiled slightly.
He said, "Bro, I advise you to just pay up. We've dealt with a lot of people like you who initially refuse to pay, and in the end, every single one of them pays up and leaves. Don't make life hard for yourself, right?"
"Hearing you say this, Helios County is really opening my eyes. Okay, I don't have that much money on me. Can I have someone send the money over? It won't take long, probably about fifteen minutes."
Dirk Carter asked.
Upon hearing that Dirk Carter intended to pay up,
the auxiliary police officer smiled.
He nodded slightly in agreement.
He unlocked one side of the handcuffs and returned the confiscated phone to him.
Dirk Carter took the phone and dialed a number.
It rang only twice before the other end picked up.
"Dirk..."
The other person only managed to say one word before Dirk Carter interrupted.
"This is Dirk Carter. I got caught in Newfield Village for prostitution. The cops are asking for ten grand plus two packs of huazi. Could you please hurry up and bring it over?"
After saying this,
Dirk Carter hung up the phone.
Seeing Dirk Carter's decisiveness,
the auxiliary police officer patted him on the shoulder and said, "Smart move, this way you don't make trouble for us, and you don't make trouble for yourself. Isn't it great?"
Since the conversation had started,
Dirk Carter didn't hold back.
He asked, "Bro, in your line of work, do you earn a lot each month?"
Seeing Dirk Carter being so "obedient,"
the auxiliary police officer didn't hold back either.
He sighed.
He said, "Ha, you wish. Do you think that ten grand goes into our pockets? The two of us just get a pack of cigarettes to smoke, that's all."
"Does that ten grand all go into that officer's pocket? That's so unfair. I feel bad for you guys working hard while he just rakes it in, right?"
Dirk Carter asked, feigning surprise.
The auxiliary police officer sneered.
He said, "You're overthinking it. He's definitely better off than us, but what can we do? He's the one in uniform. He can easily take three thousand, no problem. The rest goes upstairs. It looks like ten grand; you take a bit, I take a bit, and there's not much left."
As expected,
it truly was a supply chain.
Dirk Carter nodded.
Pointing ahead to that restaurant,
he said, "Isn't the restaurant afraid of losing business by cooperating with you guys like this?"
Hearing this,
the auxiliary police officer burst out laughing.
He said, "Bro, you're fun to talk to, so I'll be frank with you. This kind of prostitution sting is only for you outsiders. Locals go on doing their thing. Whether there's an extra of you or one less doesn't matter—that's just Helios County's unique way of doing things, feathering one's nest wherever possible."
"Aren't you afraid the leaders will find out about this?"
Dirk Carter asked.
The auxiliary police officer smirked sheepishly.
He said, "Do you think the people upstairs are any better? That's just how things are these days. Who gets into office without aiming to make money and have fun? Otherwise, what's the point of being in power? Learn from experience. When you go out, try to avoid these places. You'll just end up in a mess, right?"
The auxiliary police officer seemed like he wanted to keep talking.
At this moment,
a police officer finished talking with a big guy and started walking toward them.
Seeing this, the auxiliary police hurriedly got out of the car and whispered a few words to him.
Upon hearing that Dirk Carter was willing to hand over the money quickly,
a smile appeared on his face.
He gestured for the auxiliary police to remove the handcuffs, and handed Dirk Carter a cigarette.
"Boss, where are you from?"
The police officer asked with a smile.
"My household registration? From Serenity State."
Dirk Carter replied.
Hearing this, the police officer said, "You folks from Serenity State are all big business players, huh? I've processed quite a few from Serenity State, and you're the quickest one, I must say."
Just as he finished speaking,
they saw flashing police lights in the distance.
A convoy led by police cars was approaching from afar.
The police officer frowned.
He tossed his cigarette butt away.
He said to the two auxiliary police officers, "Get him in the car."
Having said that,
he went to meet the convoy.
The convoy consisted of four vehicles in total.
The first was a police car.
After the door opened, a middle-aged man got out.
Seeing this, the police officer immediately hurried over and saluted, respectfully saying, "Hello, Leader."
This middle-aged man had a square face and broad shoulders, with a mole on the left side of his chin.
This was none other than the Vice County Chief of Helios County and Chief of Police, Dallon Lewis.
Dallon Lewis didn't acknowledge the police officer. Instead, he quickly ran toward the car behind.
He eagerly opened the car door.
A man in his forties, dressed in an administrative jacket suit, got out of the car.
Upon seeing this, the police officer immediately tensed up.
Because the man who just got out wasn't anyone else—it was Jabez Shaw, the Deputy Secretary of the Helios County Committee and County Chief.
A woman appeared from the third vehicle, looking in her thirties.
She was dressed in professional business attire,
had short hair, rimless glasses, and appeared quite sophisticated.
Her eyes were large and bright,
her expression was very indifferent, exuding a sense of distance.
You have to admit,
the woman's figure was excellent.
Every curve was in the right place, forming a perfect "S" shaped silhouette.
A mature woman's age, with a youthful vibe.
She was the kind of woman men could fall for at first glance.
But in Helios County, this woman was someone few dared to provoke. Her name was Britt Ford, a standing member and Deputy Secretary of the Helios County Committee.
Just as she got out of the car,
sitting in the police car, Dirk Carter was listening to the auxiliary officer bragging.
He pointed to Britt Ford.
He said, "See that beauty over there? That's Britt Ford, our county's third in command. That face, that figure, she's the dream woman of so many men."
"Yours too?"
Dirk Carter asked.
The auxiliary police officer shook his head vigorously.
In a rush, he said, "I wouldn't dare have any improper thoughts about her. She's got connections above. She used to be the star of our Helios Song and Dance Troupe. Just dancing and sleeping around, she climbed up to being a Deputy Secretary."
At this point,
the auxiliary police officer lowered his voice.
He whispered in Dirk Carter's ear, "Have you heard of the Nine-Curves Corridor?"
"Nine-Curves Corridor? What does that mean?"
Dirk Carter asked, puzzled.
The auxiliary chuckled, saying, "And here you are, a man who frequents prostitutes, yet you don't even know this. Have you heard of the Ten Great Treasures?"
Dirk Carter shook his head.
The auxiliary officer smugly explained, "The Ten Great Treasures refer to the top ten women and their exceptional physical qualities. They are: the Unmatched Bloom, the Flying Swallows, the Three Springs, the Four Seasons Whirlpools, the Five Dragons Playing with Pearls, the Six-sided Ambush, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite, the Eight Directions Rain and Wind, the Nine-Curves Corridor, and the Ten Layers of Heaven Palace. The further you go down this list, the rarer they become. Our Deputy Secretary Britt belongs to the Nine-Curves Corridor, a rare gem, indeed."
"So, what's the explanation for the Nine-Curves Corridor?"
Dirk Carter inquired.
