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

Back in Su Ran residential area.

Lu Ming said to Liu Yiyi, "You go up first."

If it were before today, and Lu Ming had dared to speak to her in this tone, she would have definitely turned on him on the spot.

But now that she had witnessed Lu Ming's power, Liu Yiyi didn't dare to do it anymore. She nodded and obediently went into the apartment building.

After she went upstairs, Lu Ming said, "Something happened at home. Why didn't you tell me?"

Su Ran bit her lip and said, "I...I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Lu Ming wanted to blame her, but after hearing her reason, he couldn't bring himself to say anything more.

He gave a wry smile, stroked Su Ran's hair, and said softly, "You went to the club with them tonight to borrow money from them?"

Su Ran lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, looking like a child who had done something wrong, and hummed in agreement.

"Silly girl, if anything like this happens again, contact me immediately, okay?"

"oh."

"Alright, tell me, who did your dad offend recently?"

"I have no idea."

"Didn't your dad say anything?"

He said he didn't know either.

Su Ran explained, "My dad has never offended anyone in his business dealings, and he has always had a good relationship with the leaders of the industry and commerce and tax departments."

"Your dad must have offended someone."

There is no such thing as targeting without a reason. If someone is targeted, it must be because you have offended someone in some way.

"Okay, I'll have someone check it out tomorrow. Don't worry, as long as your dad's company is fine, leave the rest to me."

"Brother Lu Ming, thank you."

"Do we need to say these things to each other? Okay, don't think too much about it, go back and rest."

After seeing Su Ran off, Lu returned to his car and called Mu Xueqi.

"Do you know who's trying to take down the Hengyue Group?"

"Didn't your girlfriend tell you?"

"She doesn't know."

"Where's her dad? Don't you know either?"

"I don't know either."

"Then I'll ask for you when I get to work tomorrow."

"Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news. Get some rest."

Hearing the beeping sound from her phone, Mu Xueqi pouted.

That guy has no conscience.

She had even thought Lu Ming would take the opportunity to come over.

Little did they know, Lu Ming truly had no time tonight.

He still needs to go find Song Yiren.

Song Yiren gave him face tonight, not because he was the mayor's secretary.

This identity sounds impressive, but in reality, even Zhao Long doesn't take it seriously, let alone Song Yiren.

The reason he dared to speak to Zhao Long in that tone was entirely because he held Song Yiren's weakness in his hands and knew her undercover identity.

Thirty minutes later, Lu Ming returned to the Golden Tripod Club and met Song Yiren in a private room.

Inside the private room, there were only the two of them. The lighting was dim, making it impossible for Lu Ming to see her expression.

Song Yiren is calm and composed, possessing a maturity far beyond her years despite her young age.

Song Yiren asked, "Do you have my file?"

"Yes, from now on, you will be working with me."

"To coordinate with you?"

Song Yiren chuckled softly and asked again, "Who else knows my identity?"

Lu Ming frowned slightly, sensing a dangerous undertone in Song Yiren's words.

This was Lu Ming's first encounter with an undercover police officer.

Moreover, he was an undercover agent who climbed to such a high position within a criminal organization.

He didn't naively assume that Song Yiren was a good person just because she was an undercover agent.

For a person, especially a woman, to climb to such a high position in such a short time, demonstrates a level of skill and intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even if she was a good person before, it remains to be seen whether she can maintain her original intentions after gaining enormous power and money.

From her question just now, Lu Ming suddenly had an idea.

Does Song Yiren still want to continue being an undercover agent?

After all, she now has both money and power.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Would she really be willing to go back to being an ordinary police officer?

Lu Ming asked himself honestly, if the two of them were to switch places, he probably couldn't do it.

Therefore, contacting Song Yiren at this time may not be a wise decision.

How you answer the questions posed by Song Yiren is of paramount importance.

Fortunately, Lu Ming had anticipated several possibilities before arriving and had prepared accordingly.

"Besides Captain Xia from the criminal investigation team, only I know."

"Before Mayor Song jumped off the building, he handed over all the information and files related to you to me."

While Lu Ming was speaking, Song Yiren kept looking at him, as if trying to discern how much of his words were true and how much were false.

After a brief silence, Song Yiren spoke up: "You can work with me, but you have to tell me the identities of the other undercover agents."

Song Yiren was not the only undercover agent the police had planted within the criminal group.

However, none of these undercover agents knew the identities of the other undercover agents.

This is also to prevent the exposure of one undercover agent's identity from implicating others.

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "You don't need to know that."

Song Yiren lit a slim cigarette, leaned back slightly, and exuded a deadly languid aura.

She parted her red lips slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said softly, "Give me an undercover agent, and I'll give you a reward, how about it?"

Lu Ming's eyelids twitched suddenly.

The situation he least wanted to see still happened.

Song Yiren actually wants me to make a deal with her by offering other undercover agents!

Lu Ming took a deep breath and kept telling himself that he had to take the initiative in this first encounter.

Otherwise, once they lose power, they will become easy prey for Song Yiren to manipulate, losing all their say.

Lu Ming slowly stood up, looking down at Song Yiren, and said, word by word, "Song Yiren, you don't think you can bargain with me now that your position is secure, do you?"

"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

"Once an undercover agent, always an undercover agent!"

"What do you want from me to use other undercover agents' identities to make a deal with you?"

"You want to take them all down and become the boss by yourself?"

"After killing them, do you also want to kill me, and Captain Xia?"

"Hmph, I think you've been a mob boss for too long and forgotten who you are!"

Listening to Lu Ming's barrage of words, Song Yiren's expression remained unchanged. She slightly raised her hand and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

She chuckled softly, placed the cigarette on the crystal ashtray, and then pulled a pistol from her bag.

She slowly stood up, raised the pistol little by little, and pressed it against Lu Ming's temple.

"If I kill you here, no one will know."

Lu Ming sneered, reached out and grabbed the gun, moved the muzzle to his brow, and said, "Want to shoot? Come on, shoot here."

Song Yiren narrowed her eyes: "You think I wouldn't dare?"

Lu Ming said, "You don't think I came to this meeting all alone, without any preparation, do you?"

"Let me tell you, if I don't get back tonight, your file, Song Yiren, will be on the desks of all the provincial leaders tomorrow."

"At the same time, your undercover identity will also become known throughout the underworld."

silence.

Song Yiren suddenly smiled.

She put the gun away.

"You're a smart person."

"I enjoy dealing with intelligent people."

"You can go back now. Don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Just as she put the gun down, Lu Ming reached out and grabbed her wrist, then pressed her down onto the sofa...
