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

"You guessed right, he did contact me and tried to drag me into this."

"How do you pull it?"

"Twenty million cryptocurrencies."

"Um?"

Song Yiren looked at Lu Ming with suspicion, seemingly doubting the truthfulness of his words.

She simply couldn't understand why Qian Kuo would spend so much money to bribe a secretary who hadn't even secured her position.

Lu Ming shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't understand why he's spending so much."

Song Yiren asked, "So you accepted it?"

This time, Lu Ming lied, shaking his head and saying, "No."

"Confiscate it?"

His answer this time made Song Yiren even more suspicious.

Is it possible that someone could resist the temptation of 20 million?

Lu Ming sighed and said, "If I had accepted it, why would I be asking you?"

Song Yiren frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly relaxed and asked, "You want to capture him?"

"right."

"hehe."

The contempt in Song Yiren's eyes was undisguised.

Lu Ming couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Although he also felt that the possibility of bringing Qian Kuo to justice was very low, Song Yiren didn't need to make it so obvious, did she?

Song Yiren said calmly, "Qingwu Lane is a place that Qian Kuo uses to entertain distinguished guests; it is never open to the public."

"So it's normal that you don't know about that place, after all, your level is far from sufficient."

Lu Ming instantly understood Song Yiren's meaning: entertaining distinguished guests must mean that some shady services are being offered there.

Where is Qingwufang?

"Are you going to investigate?"

"right."

Song Yiren frowned and said, "I told you, Qian Kuo has connections in Songxi, both in the legal and illegal worlds. Even in official circles, many leaders you know are his guests. Don't even mention you, even the police chief wouldn't dare to investigate you recklessly."

"Moreover, Qingwufang has a very high level of security. Even if the police were to go there, they wouldn't be able to get in for a while."

"By the time they went inside, the place had already been cleaned up."

"So take my advice: if you don't want to die, behave yourself and don't mess with Qian Kuo!"

Lu Ming listened and remained silent for a long time.

This time, coming to see Song Yiren was the right decision; from her, I gained a more comprehensive understanding of Qian Kuo.

This guy has deep roots in Songxi; I'm afraid he'll discover everything before I even find out anything.

If he finds out that I'm secretly investigating him, I'm sure I'll end up in a bad situation.

But if we don't investigate, wouldn't we be at his mercy?

Lu Ming, of course, was unwilling to be manipulated, and asked, "What kinds of businesses does Qian Kuo have?"

Instead of answering, Song Yiren asked, "You're still investigating?"

Lu Ming said, "I have no choice."

Song Yiren chuckled and said, "Why wouldn't you have a choice? He's giving you money, so just take it."

"You don't really think you, a mere secretary, can possibly outmaneuver him, do you?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but it was probably him who orchestrated the report against Mayor Song."

Lu Ming remained silent for a moment.

Song Yiren continued, "Even Mayor Song was driven to suicide by him. Do you think you can handle him?"

Lu Ming grew impatient listening to her talk and said, "Whether I investigate or not is my business; it's none of Chairman Song's concern."

"If you're willing to talk, then talk; if you're not, then pretend I didn't ask."

Song Yiren was not angry at his attitude and tone.

On the contrary, she suddenly began to admire Lu Ming.

That guy's got guts.

Go ahead to dangers.

Although she felt it was too impulsive, it was a kind of courage that most people don't have.

Song Yiren said, "I haven't specifically looked into it, I only know that he has undertaken some government projects."

"However, if you want to know, I can look it up for you, but it will take some time."

Lu Ming was quite surprised that Song Yiren was willing to help him investigate.

Thanks.

Song Yiren chuckled and poured Lu Ming another cup of tea.

Having achieved his purpose, Lu Ming drank the last cup and then got up to take his leave.

Back at the municipal government, Lu Ming was surprised to see Luo Shuixian in his office.

Wasn't this girl supposed to be resting and relaxing? Why is she back already?

However, she looked somewhat listless, not like someone who had relaxed.

Lu Ming sat down, nudged her arm, and asked, "What's wrong? Not muscular enough, huh?"

Luo Shuixian snorted and ignored him.

After a while, Luo Shuixian suddenly turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Old Lu, do you have any money?"

"Yes, I have about eight thousand yuan left in my card. What's wrong?"

"Only eight thousand?"

"Otherwise what? My monthly salary is so low, it's already pretty good if I can save eight thousand, okay?"

Lu Ming still has Li Wen's ten million, but this money cannot be made public.

Now that Li Wen is dead, no one will ask him for the money anymore.

Lu Ming asked, "Why are you asking this? You don't want to borrow money, do you?"

Luo Shuixian nodded.

Lu Ming was taken aback, then laughed, "My God, has the sun risen in the west?"

"You, Miss Luo, actually want to borrow money from me?"

"You didn't get swindled out of all your money by a man, did you?"

Luo Shuixian remained silent, fuming. After a long while, she finally asked, "Is the house you're living in now one you bought yourself?"

"With my salary, how could I afford a house? Of course I'm renting... Wait a minute, you're asking this? You don't mean you don't even have a place to live, do you?"

Luo Shuixian blushed and nodded shyly.

"You..."

Lu Ming wanted to get to the bottom of things, but seeing Luo Shuixian's disappointed expression, he kept quiet.

He guessed that Luo Shuixian's family had probably cut off her financial support.

Otherwise, no matter what, she wouldn't be without a place to live.

Lu Ming said, "My house is quite big. If you don't mind, you can come and stay for a while."

Luo Shuixian nodded and whispered, "I'll pay you back the rent when I get paid."

Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "No need, my house is cheap, only two thousand a month."

"Huh? Two thousand?"

Luo Shuixian frowned upon hearing this.

This house... must be so dilapidated!

But now she really has no other choice.

The thought that her mother actually stopped her credit card because she didn't go on blind dates made her feel like the sky had fallen.

Is this something a biological mother would do?

Hmph, you want me to compromise?

No way!

When it was time to leave work, Luo Shuixian said to Lu Ming, "Send me the address. I'll take the mayor home first, and then I'll go there directly in a bit."

"Um."

On the way home after get off work.

Yu Wei said, "Mom told me to tell you to call her and apologize, and that will make things better."

Luo Shuixian snorted coldly and said, "I won't fight!"

"Anyway, I've found a place to live now and I'm still getting a salary. At worst, I'll just have to be more frugal with my spending!"

Yu Wei asked helplessly, "Found a place to stay? Where are you moving to?"

"I'm not telling you, you're in cahoots with Mom!"

Yu Wei said sternly, "Stop fooling around. Explain yourself. Where are you going to stay?"

Luo Shuixian said, "I've already talked to Lao Lu, we'll be roommates!"

"Lu Ming?"

"Um!"
