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

Chairman Qian patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Secretary Lu, I know you are loyal to Mayor Song. Now that you are my friend, your enemy is my enemy."

"So, I will avenge Mayor Song for you!"

These words left Lu Ming completely baffled.

You're the one who framed Mayor Song. Who are you going to seek revenge on?

Lu Ming chuckled, but his heart turned cold, thinking that Lu Ming was deliberately humiliating him!

The driver arrived, and Mr. Qian got into the car.

He rolled down the car window, looked at Lu Ming, and smiled, "Secretary Lu, I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll like it."

After saying that, the car started and drove away.

Lu Ming frowned, wondering what exactly this so-called gift was.

Watching the car drive away, Lu Ming took out the cryptocurrency card.

Should we hand it over or not?

This cryptocurrency is discreet and secure, and can be withdrawn entirely from abroad without fear of being investigated.

However, after meeting this Mr. Qian tonight, Lu Ming has already categorized him as an extremely dangerous person.

Therefore, Lu Ming always felt that she had left behind a backup plan that he had not considered.

After much deliberation, Lu Ming decided to give Yu Wei a full account of what had happened that night.

After getting into the car, Lu Ming dialed Yu Wei's number.

As soon as the call connected, Yu Wei asked, "Is it over?"

Lu Ming said, "It just ended. Does the mayor have time now? If it's convenient, I'd like to report to you in person."

Yu Wei seemed to have expected this, and said, "Come here."

Twenty minutes later, Lu Ming arrived at Yu Wei's house.

Yu Wei asked him to sit on the sofa and then took a bottle of water from the refrigerator for him.

Afterwards, Lu Ming recounted his conversation with Chairman Qian that evening without reservation, and then took out the card.

Yu Wei glanced at the card, then at Lu Ming, and said nothing.

"Mayor, he said one more thing before he left."

"What did you say?"

He said he had prepared a gift for me!

"What gift?"

"I don't know either."

Lu Ming simply couldn't understand why 20 million in cryptocurrency was already such a huge gift.

How valuable must the gift he specifically mentioned be?

Yu Wei pondered for a moment, then reminded her, "Be careful when you go out these days, and report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, then what should we do about this?"

Lu Ming pointed to the cryptocurrency on the table.

Yu Wei said, "You take it first."

Lu Ming was stunned, looking incredulous.

Is this another test for me?

With that thought in mind, Lu Ming put the card away again.

After finishing his business, he finally noticed Yu Wei.

She had clearly just taken a shower and was wearing a silk nightgown.

The nightgown is soft and flowing, and fits the body perfectly, showcasing the curves of a slender figure.

Such a close-up view made Lu Ming's mind wander.

Fortunately, he quickly concealed it, preventing Yu Wei from noticing the change in his gaze just moments before.

"Ahem, Mayor, I'll head back now."

"Um."

Yu Wei got up and had just escorted Lu Ming to the entrance when her phone rang.

She glanced at the number, made no attempt to hide it from Lu Ming, and answered the call directly.

"Director Ding...what?"

Yu Wei looked surprised.

Lu Ming looked at Yu Wei, wondering what Ding Jian had said.

"Okay, I understand. Report back to me if there's any progress."

Just as Yu Wei hung up the phone, Lu Ming's phone suddenly buzzed.

It was a message sent to him by Chairman Qian.

"Secretary Lu, do you like the gift I gave you?"

Lu Ming looked suspicious.

What exactly is the gift he's talking about?

Why is this person talking so strangely?

Just then, Yu Wei spoke up: "Director Ding just said that there was a car accident."

Something that prompted Ding Jian to personally call and report it must not be an ordinary car accident.

Could it be another major traffic accident like last time?

Before Lu Ming could ask, Yu Wei said, "Li Wen was hit by a large truck while waiting at a red light and died on the spot."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Ming's pupils constricted sharply, and he finally understood.

"Mayor, this is a gift from Chairman Qian!"

"Um?"

Yu Wei raised an eyebrow and, after a moment's thought, understood what Lu Ming meant.

This car accident was not an accident, but rather something that Mr. Qian had meticulously planned!

At this moment, Lu Ming remembered what Chairman Qian had said about helping him get revenge. So that's what it meant!

This Mr. Qian is really ruthless.

Li Wen was his person after all, and now that she was no longer of any use to him, he killed her without hesitation.

Does he still have any regard for the law?

Is there no law anymore?

Lu Ming had indeed been wanting to send Li Wen to the police station, but he hadn't had a suitable opportunity until now.

I never expected that Chairman Qian would be so unscrupulous, killing Liu without hesitation!

In the past few years, Lu Ming has experienced quite a few open and covert struggles, but this is the first time he has ever acted so simply and brutally.

Lu Ming felt a chill run down his spine. What seemed like a gift from Chairman Qian was actually a warning to him.

If I don't listen, Li Wen's fate today will be my fate tomorrow!

"Are you scared yet?"

Yu Wei's voice rang in his ears, pulling Lu Ming's thoughts back to reality.

Lu Ming said with a serious expression, "Of course I'm afraid!"

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person with no connections.

In contrast, Mr. Qian owns a club and a company, and casually gives himself 20 million yuan in cryptocurrency.

The two of them are simply not on the same level.

How could I not be afraid in this situation?

Hearing Lu Ming's answer, Yu Wei was not disappointed.

Because this is the normal reaction a person should have!

But Lu Ming's next words surprised Yu Wei.

"However, I'm still going to kill him."

Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Not afraid anymore?"

Lu Ming said, "I'm still scared! But that doesn't conflict with my desire to kill him."

"Although Chairman Qian didn't say it explicitly when he saw me today, I know his real intention wasn't what he seemed; he just wanted to find out about you through me!"

"Although I don't know what he wants to know or what his purpose is, he first brought down Mayor Song, then arranged for a prostitute to get close to you, and now he wants to bribe me. He's going to such lengths, so his scheme must be quite complicated."

Yu Wei nodded in agreement, and Lu Ming and she started thinking about it from the same angle.

"So, you're going to go against him?"

"Aren't you afraid of becoming the next Li Wen?"

Lu Ming sneered, "Of course I'm afraid, but being afraid is useless!"

"Li Wen once successfully helped him bring down Mayor Song, but didn't she end up like this in the end?"

"So even if I compromise, I won't really be able to rest easy."

"On the contrary, once you compromise, it's like sinking into a quagmire, from which you can never get out."

"There's only one way to ensure safety, and that's what I just said: kill him!"
