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

After listening to Lu Ming's report, Yu Wei's face also darkened.

"Are you sure it was Secretary Wang who did it?"

"Sure."

"Okay, I understand. You can leave now."

"Mayor, I have some suggestions. Would you like to hear them?"

Lu Ming reported to Yu Wei not because he hoped she would help, but simply because he wanted her to know that such a thing happened.

At the same time, it also lets her know how she wants to solve the problem.

Yu Wei was somewhat surprised to hear him say that, and said, "Go on."

Lu Ming said, "Secretary Wang did this not only to retaliate against me, but also to provoke you."

"To put it bluntly, he doesn't respect you as the mayor."

"If it were Mayor Jiang, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if he had two lives."

"He doesn't dare to provoke Mayor Jiang, but he dares to provoke you because he thinks you were transferred from another place and have no roots in Songxi."

"As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. If you're determined to trip me up, there's nothing you can do about it."

"Besides, he might not even think of you as some kind of powerful dragon, but just see you as a pretty face."

"Even if you, Mayor, step in and resolve this, I think it will only be a temporary fix, not a permanent solution."

"If you want him to stop using these underhanded tactics, you have to let him know that there are some people he can't afford to mess with, and that messing with them will come at a heavy price."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, a hint of interest appeared in Yu Wei's eyes.

When ordinary people face retaliation from the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, they feel anger, but even more so fear and apprehension.

After all, the difference in their status was too great, making it impossible for them to fight each other.

But Lu Ming, who was just a secretary, was not only unafraid, but also wanted to retaliate directly and make Wang Yanchun pay the price.

And judging from his words, he seemed quite confident about it.

Yu Wei couldn't help but wonder, where did Lu Ming get his confidence from?

"Tell me your plan."

"Simple, let the disciplinary committee arrest him."

Yu Wei's lips twitched. She thought it was some good plan, but it turned out to be just this.

Suddenly, Yu Wei remembered what Song Chuhe had left behind and asked, "What, do you have evidence of his illegal or criminal activities?"

Although Lu Ming handed over what Song Chuhe left behind to her, she didn't think it was all; Lu Ming must have left some more.

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "No."

"However, he will tell you himself."

Yu Wei became more and more confused as she listened, but soon, Lu Ming revealed the full details of the plan.

"I will find a few people to impersonate members of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, arrest him, and interrogate him so that he can confess to his crimes."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's plan, even Yu Wei's emotions were stirred.

This plan is simply too audacious.

No, it's absolutely insane!

Disguised as a discipline inspection commissioner, they went to arrest a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?

Do you know the consequences of doing this?

Lu Ming scoffed, "Consequences? What consequences?"

"Once he confesses to his crimes, I'll have his life in my hands. The mayor probably doesn't think this old bastard would risk everything, does he?"

"To put it another way, if I don't show my face at all, even if he wants to deal with me, there's nothing he can do."

Yu Wei quickly analyzed his plan. It seemed simple and crude, but the simpler it was, the safer it was.

Seeing that Yu Wei did not nod in agreement for a long time, Lu Ming waited patiently.

His plan has only two key points.

First, one must be bold.

Secondly, the people involved must be professionals.

He's not very bold, so when he's arresting someone, he lacks presence and can't intimidate them.

A lack of professionalism will easily expose flaws.

In addition, Yu Wei's attitude is also crucial.

If she were rigid and conservative, she certainly wouldn't agree to his unconventional methods.

How confident are you?

Lu Ming said confidently, "Success! I either won't do it, or I'll definitely succeed."

"Heh, you're quite confident."

Yu Wei paused for a moment, then said, "Do as you say, and remember to report back in real time."

"yes!"

Yu Wei's agreement relieved Lu Ming of a great weight.

After leaving the office, I immediately made a phone call.

To impersonate a provincial discipline inspection commission official and interrogate a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, one must find someone completely trustworthy to do such a thing.

And there just happened to be such a group of people around Lu Ming.

They were all brothers in Lu Ming's unit.

After retiring, Lu Ming used his position as a secretary to help them find good jobs.

"Hey, Stone, call Xiao Dao and the others out. I need to talk to you."

"Okay, where to? The usual place?"

"Um."

Afterwards, Lu Ming called Su Ran again, telling her not to worry and that he had found a solution.

As for how to solve it, he did not elaborate.

Things are accomplished in secrecy, and ruined by being revealed.

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Evening, at Dingdingxiang food stall.

This is where Lu Ming and Shi Tou often gather.

Lu Ming hadn't arrived yet, so the other seven people put together a large table.

Everyone there was tall, over 1.8 meters, and generally around 27 or 28 years old.

Although they have all retired, they are all in good shape, which shows that they still maintain regular exercise.

"Brother Ming is here."

Upon seeing Lu Ming, a burly man with a buzz cut blew a lewd whistle.

Everyone else looked over with laughter.

Seeing them, Lu Ming felt a deep sense of warmth and familiarity.

The longer he stayed in officialdom, the more he missed his days as a soldier.

People back then were simple and honest, unlike now where there are so many messy and ridiculous things going on.

One of them offered drinks, but Lu Ming stopped him.

"No drinking tonight, let's eat first. I have something to tell you after we finish eating."

After everyone had finished eating and drinking, someone asked, "Brother Ming, what's up?"

In the years since his retirement, Lu Ming has done a few jobs for them, but at most it was just driving for the leaders temporarily or something, which was easy and well paid.

Lu Ming said, "No rush, let's talk somewhere else later."

The group exchanged glances, realizing that this matter was probably unusual.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Ming took them to a nearby clubhouse and booked a private room.

"Ming-ge, what's going on? You're being so mysterious, it's making me a little uneasy."

Xiao Dao retorted irritably, "What are you panicking about? Would Brother Ming sell you out?"

"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that Brother Ming will arrange two princesses for me later. You all know I'm getting married soon, so I can't be impure."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Lu Ming laughed and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Go and catch someone for me tomorrow."

"Who should we arrest?"

"Wang Yanchun, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee."

"What the hell?" Everyone was dumbfounded: "Arresting the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?"

"Um."

"Did he offend you, Ming-ge?"

"Do you want us to arrest him and beat him up?"

"Then you'd better cover yourself up tightly and not show your face."

Although everyone was shocked, none of them were afraid.

Lu Ming explained, "It wasn't about hitting him, it was like this..."
