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

Just before leaving get off work that day, Luo Shuixian suddenly said, "I'm off tomorrow, you go pick up Mayor Yu."

"Rest?" Lu Ming asked with a strange look. "You don't have a partner, why would you need to rest?"

Luo Shuixian rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I may be single, but I'm not some beast of burden. Do you think everyone treats going to work as a hobby like you do?"

Having said that, he turned around gracefully and left with an air of nonchalance.

the next day.

Lu Ming got up early, bought breakfast, and went to Yu Wei's apartment building.

He was sitting in his car eating a steamed bun when he suddenly saw Yu Wei come out of the building entrance.

She was wearing a tight-fitting quick-drying shirt and yoga shorts, with running shoes on her feet. This outfit was quite unusual, and Lu Ming stared at her in disbelief.

The mayor has a great physique!

Lu Ming quickly finished his steamed bun, got out of the car, and strode over, saying, "Good morning, Mayor."

Yu Wei glanced at Lu Ming and said, "I'm going for my morning run first."

As she ran, she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw Lu Ming following behind her.

"Why did you follow me here?"

"I'll protect the mayor."

"hehe."

Yu Wei, of course, didn't believe such nonsense.

Lu Ming's eyes almost popped out!

However, she didn't care at all; in fact, she was quite pleased.

The moment this thought popped into Yu Wei's head, alarm bells suddenly went off in her mind.

Because she found herself becoming increasingly indulgent towards Lu Ming.

She glanced at Lu Ming, her brows furrowing slightly, sensing that this was not a good sign.

Lu Ming followed Yu Wei about five or six meters behind, a distance that was neither too far nor too close, just right.

You can clearly see the clothes exposed between Yu Wei's quick-drying shirt and yoga pants, and you can also see the lines of her gluteal muscles taut as she lifts her leg and steps.

And when she runs, the fine beads of sweat appear on her swan-like neck.

Following behind her, you could even catch a faint scent of her fragrance.

Lu Ming took a drag and felt refreshed. He even wanted to call Luo Shuixian and tell her to rest for a couple more days.

Halfway through my run, I encountered another man who was also running.

This man was tall and somewhat effeminate, the type of man many girls like these days.

He was perhaps attracted by Yu Wei's appearance, so he deliberately slowed his pace and kept parallel to her.

The man spoke first: "Your running form is very professional."

His smile was radiant and sunny, making it easy for people to feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

Yu Wei glanced at the man, showing no interest in talking, and simply replied with a faint "thank you."

The man didn't mind and kept initiating conversations, sharing his personal experiences with running, but Yu Wei's reaction remained indifferent.

Seeing that the man wouldn't stop, Lu Ming sped up and caught up with him, then looked at Yu Wei and asked, "Do you know him?"

He didn't address me by my title, but instead asked in a tone similar to that of a boyfriend.

The purpose, of course, is to tell men to hurry up and go for a run, and not to flirt with random people.

Yu Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know him."

Lu Ming responded with an "oh," giving the man a warning look.

But the man seemed to completely ignore him and continued to keep up with Yu Wei at the same speed.

When Yu Wei returned to her apartment building, the man spoke again: "I still don't know your name?"

Yu Wei didn't turn around and went straight into the apartment building.

Seeing this, the man touched his nose, smiled, and turned to leave.

Lu Ming watched the man's retreating figure, pondered for a moment, and then followed him.

He followed the man to a nearby apartment building, saw the man get into the elevator, quickly went over, stared at him for more than ten seconds, memorized the man's floor, and prepared to go back to the property management office to check carefully.

When he returned downstairs, Yu Wei had just changed into her uniform and come down as well.

Although it's the same person, Yu Wei just now and she now have completely different styles.

After getting on the bus, Lu Ming intended to give the steamed buns to Yu Wei, but when he picked them up, he found they were a bit cold. He said, "They're a little cold. I'll heat them up when we get to the office."

Yu Wei hummed in agreement, without refusing.

Lu Ming then spoke up: "Mayor, there seems to be something wrong with that man just now."

"Something's not right?"

"I suspect he might know your identity."

Yu Wei was taken aback and asked, "Are you sure?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "I'm not sure, I just think it's possible."

"He hit on you, there's nothing wrong with that. After all, a beautiful lady is sought after by gentlemen."

"But after I appeared, any normal person would have chosen to leave."

"But instead of leaving, he continued to flirt with them."

"I think there are only two reasons why he did this."

Yu Wei thought Lu Ming's analysis made some sense and asked, "Which two reasons?"

"First, he knew your identity, so he deliberately approached you while running."

"And what's the second reason?"

"The second thing is... you're too beautiful, so even when I'm right next to you, he still can't help but try to steal you away."

Yu Wei frowned, somewhat speechless, and said, "Is that also a reason?"

Lu Ming said seriously, "Of course, because if I were him, even if you already had a male companion, I would probably still keep hitting on you."

"But it's okay. I secretly followed him and found out where he lives. I'll check with the property management after I finish work, and then I'll know which reason he has."

Yu Wei nodded slightly, which was taken as her agreement.

It must be said that Lu Ming's analysis is very reasonable.

It doesn't seem normal for him to keep trying to chat her up after she had already appeared.

If he really did approach me on purpose, what was his purpose?

Who arranged this for him?

Yu Wei suddenly remembered the last welcome banquet, where she and Lu were secretly drugged.

If Lu Ming hadn't discovered it quickly, I really wouldn't know what was going on.

It's only been a month since she was drugged, and now someone is deliberately approaching her again. This repeated provocation has undoubtedly fueled Yu Wei's anger.

Upon arriving at the municipal government, Lu Ming first heated up some steamed buns for Yu Wei, then tidied up his office briefly before saying, "Mayor, I'll go check now. Call me directly if anything comes up."

"Go."

After Lu Ming left, Yu Wei dialed a number and said, "Uncle Hong, check on the person who hit on me this morning."

Ever since she was drugged last time, Yu Wei has asked Uncle Hong to come to Songxi to protect her secretly.

Uncle Hong said, "We're already investigating."

Yu Wei was taken aback and asked, "Uncle Hong, do you also think there's something wrong with him?"

Uncle Hong replied, "Something is definitely not right. Didn't you notice it yourself?"

Yu Wei said, "It wasn't me, it was my secretary who noticed."

"Oh, that Lu Ming, right? That kid's quick-witted, no wonder he was a soldier. Alright, I'll tell you after I find out."

"Uncle Hong, he went to investigate as well."

"Don't worry, you won't bump into it."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Wei was certain that the man was the problem.

Lu Ming's intuition might be wrong, but Uncle Hong is a professional. If even he thinks there's a problem, then there must be a problem!
