At the Pinnacle of Power: The Female Leader and Her Chief Advisor

Lu Ming and Luo Shuixian arrived at the hospital and saw Zhou Lin wearing a hospital gown in a private room.

When she went in, her eyes were vacant, and she stared blankly at the ceiling.

When Zhou Lin saw Lu Ming, her eyes held resentment, but even more so, fear.

After a series of events, she had fully witnessed Lu Ming's ruthless methods.

Even if she trained for another twenty years, she would still be no match for someone like that.

The reason I was able to escape danger this time was not because Lu Ming was kind.

It was because he still had some use that the man was willing to spare him.

But if she still thinks about getting revenge, then she won't be so lucky next time.

Lu Ming smiled gently and asked, "Secretary Zhou, are you feeling better?"

Zhou Lin didn't speak, but instead looked at Luo Shuixian behind her, biting her lip and saying, "Did you come here to laugh at me?"

She was afraid of Lu Ming, but not of Luo Shuixian.

Having endured such inhuman torture, she desperately needed an outlet for her resentment.

Luo Shuixian smiled and said, "You're so clever, how did you figure that out?"

"I thought I was hiding it well, but you saw through me at a glance!"

Hearing this, Zhou Lin was so angry she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Ming shook his head. This Zhou Lin was as stupid as ever!

"The mayor asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself and return to work when you've fully recovered."

After saying that, Lu Ming turned and left.

Zhou Lin hurriedly asked, "Brother Lu, did the mayor say... what I'd do if I went back?"

She knew she was definitely not going to be a secretary anymore; she would definitely be transferred back home.

As for where he will be transferred, that's hard to say.

Lu Ming replied without turning his head, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

As they left the hospital, Luo Shuixian said with a grin, "Want some milk tea? My treat!"

Lu Ming said, "Didn't you say you don't drink milk tea?"

"Oh, I'm in a good mood today!"

"OK."

Luo Shuixian bought two cups of milk tea nearby, handed one to Lu Ming and said, "It's almost time to get off work now, why don't we stay and find a place to have lunch instead of going back?"

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "No, I have other things to take care of."

Luo Shuixian pouted: "Come on, the mayor hasn't even called you, what could it be about?"

Lu Ming said, "I need to go to the police station to see Wang Qiang."

"See him? What for?" Luo Shuixian suddenly stared into Lu Ming's eyes like a detective and asked, "Are you up to no good again?"

Lu Ming was too lazy to explain. In any case, no matter what he did, she would see it as doing something wrong.

But this time, she actually guessed right.

……

When Wang Qiang saw Lu Ming, he was very excited.

"Lu Ming!"

"It's you, isn't it?"

"It must be you!"

Seeing his impotent rage, Lu Ming responded with a smile.

"Director Wang, getting angry is bad for your health. Let's calm down. I have something to tell you."

"You're so spicy, damn it!"

Are you sure you don't want to listen?

Wang Qiang looked at Lu Ming suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ming asked, "You and Bai Xiaoyan seem to have a good relationship, right?"

"...Just tell me what it is!"

"Tell me about all the illegal and disorderly things she's done."

Wang Qiang fell silent for a moment, knowing that Lu Ming definitely wanted to deal with Bai Xiaoyan.

However, how he decides to deal with it is his business; right now, Wang Qiang only cares about one thing.

"What benefit would I get from telling you?"

Lu Ming said, "If you cooperate, I'll have Zhou Lin issue you a letter of understanding, so you can serve a shorter sentence."

Wang Qiang's eyes lit up.

Oh yes, how could I forget about the letter of understanding?

With this thing, his sentence will be much lighter.

So Wang Qiang told Bai Xiaoyan everything he knew.

"Alright, I've told you everything I know. Now hurry up and get Zhou Lin to write me a letter of understanding."

"What's the rush? Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

"Lu Ming, are you trying to play tricks on me?"

"Director Wang, what you're saying is unbelievable. I, Lu Ming, have always been an excellent student since my school days. Don't worry, I won't lie about something I've promised. But I need to verify whether what you're saying is true or not first!"

After saying that, Lu Ming turned and left.

……

It was already 11:10 when I came out of the police station.

Lu Ming and Luo Shuixian found a restaurant nearby. After finishing their meal, Lu Ming wiped his mouth and got up to leave.

Seeing this, Luo Shuixian quickly followed.

Just as they were about to leave, the waiter caught up with them: "Could one of you please pay the bill?"

Lu Ming turned to look at Luo Shuixian, who also looked at him with a puzzled expression. They both said in unison, "No, why are you leaving if you haven't paid the bill?"

Luo Shuixian was furious when she heard this.

This guy, he's having dinner with a girl, and he actually wants her to pay?

Besides, he ate four-fifths of what he ordered by himself, and he still had the nerve to let the girl pay the bill?

In the end... Luo Shuixian pouted and paid the bill.

According to Lu Ming, she was the one who wanted to eat out.

On the way back, Luo Shuixian completely ignored Lu Ming.

Lu Ming said, "Are you still angry? Fine, I'll treat you to dinner, okay?"

Luo Shuixian asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"Of course it's fake!"

"you!!!"

Luo Shuixian felt like she was about to explode with anger.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow, okay?"

Luo Shuixian crossed her arms: "Really?"

"More real than gold!"

"Hmph, this time it's about right!"

"But let's make this clear first, my salary isn't much, I can't afford a fancy meal."

"It's the thought that counts when you treat someone to a meal, not what you eat."

"You're such a nice girl, I'll treat you to lunch at the cafeteria tomorrow!"

Luo Shuixian wanted nothing more than to strangle Lu Ming: "Is that even human language you're saying?"

Lu Ming sighed and said, "I can't help it, I'm just too poor. You're such a good girl, you'll understand, right?"

The two bickered all the way back to the city government.

After sitting down, Lu Ming took out his phone and called Pan Bin.

"Director Pan, could you check if Bai Xiaoyan is here?"

A moment later, Pan Bin sent a message: "Director Bai just took the elevator downstairs."

Lu Ming replied "I understand," then got up and left.

Seeing this, Luo Shuixian hurriedly followed.

Lu Wuyu said, "Why aren't you resting? What are you doing following me?"

Where are you going?

"I'm going to run some errands!"

"I want to go too!"

"Come on if you want, but let's make it clear beforehand: if you stay out too late, I won't have money to treat you to dinner."

Luo Shuixian angrily pinched Lu Ming's arm hard.

Even if this guy is really poor, there's no need for him to keep saying it, right?

It's as if she doesn't need his food!

As the two came out of the city government building, they saw Bai Xiaoyan get into a car.

They hurriedly got into the car and followed behind.

Luo Shuixian asked, "Who is that?"

"Bai Xiaoyan, Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office!"

"You want to sleep with her?"

"I'm telling you, you're a girl, can't you speak more politely? She's over thirty, and I'm not that desperate."

"So what? Look at her figure, so full and rounded, isn't that exactly the type of mature wife you men like?"
