At the pinnacle of power: parachuted into your hometown as a leader right from the start!

Meanwhile, at Yitian Mining, Cui Yake smiled as the police officers walked in.

"Officers, what brings you here?"

Song Xinlu, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, said calmly.

"Mr. Cui, we have a case in our county that requires your cooperation. We hope you can come with us."

Cui Yake remained calm and readily agreed with a smile.

"Of course, of course. Cooperating with the police is the responsibility of every citizen."

"Shall we leave now?"

Song Xinlu was a little puzzled by Cui Yake's calm demeanor. Could there be some possibility of a reversal?

"Okay, let's go then, Mr. Cui."

Cui Yake followed the group outside, his face calm.

"Director Song, I heard that County Magistrate Jiang from our county got married yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xinlu's face showed a hint of wariness.

"Cui Yake, what do you mean by this?"

Cui Yake immediately understood what Song Xinlu was thinking.

"No, Director Song, you've misunderstood. I was just asking casually. I just wanted to know if the event was big?"

"I knew your County Chief Jiang before, but unfortunately I had something to do that day and couldn't be there to witness his wedding in person."

Song Xinlu glanced at Cui Yake and then said.

"It's going to be a big deal, I advise you not to overthink it."

Cui Yake smiled and waved her hand.

"Director Song, please don't misunderstand. Even if I'm feeling really down, I wouldn't do anything reckless."

At this point, Cui Yake hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Director Song, if I go with you and confess my problems, would that be considered turning myself in?"

Song Xinlu shook his head without even thinking.

"Mr. Cui, if you go in and confess, we can consider it as your cooperation and leniency. If there are really problems, the court will also consider giving you a lighter sentence."

Cui Yake nodded, and then said nothing more.

He followed the others back to the police station.

He was very cooperative during the interrogation and took all the blame upon himself.

"Mr. Cui, have you thought this through? We're not easily fooled. How long have you been with Yitian Mining?"

"What does Yitian Mining's forced acquisition of the mine have to do with you?"

Cui Yake smiled and addressed the crowd directly.

"I gave all these instructions. I was the one who gave the order for Yitian Mining's general manager to acquire the mine."

"If you don't believe me, you can call over the former general manager surnamed Zhang and ask him."

Yes, that's right, the general manager wasn't Lu Zhuqian, but a man named Zhang Qiang.

After all, Lu Zhuqian wouldn't be so foolish as to take a position in the company and then wait to be investigated!

Wang Qiang's eyes held a scrutinizing look, then he smiled and asked Cui Yake.

"Haha, Mr. Cui, you're quite capable, aren't you? You can remotely manage company affairs without even holding a position?"

"However, I heard from my subordinates that the person who actually held power before was this woman, Lu Zhuqian?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yake looked at Wang Qiang with a surprised expression.

"Director Wang, what do you mean by that? Who is Lu Zhuqian? I don't even know her."

"However, if you think it really is Lu Zhuqian's fault, then I certainly have no objection. After all, I would definitely be willing to push the charges out and get a lighter sentence."

Seeing how stubborn Cui Yake was, Wang Qiang smiled and waved his hand.

"Hey, Cui Yake, so you're saying that all of Yitian Mining's illegal and criminal activities were ordered by Lu Zhuqian?"

Cui Yake immediately nodded.

"Oh, right, but this Lu Zhuqian should be a woman, right? Yes, it's a woman. Lu Zhuqian is the one who instructed me. In fact, all my illegal and criminal acts are because of her!"

Wang Qiang smiled and said.

"Okay, since you've said that, we'll go arrest them now."

Cui Yake naturally had no objections.

"Yes, Director Wang. Oh, and don't forget to bring them back for me to see after you arrest them. Otherwise, if they go to court and I don't even recognize them, they'll expose my deception immediately."

Wang Qiang smiled and walked out.

His face turned cold as soon as he closed the door.

"This Cui Yake is quite cunning."

Xing Weimin looked thoughtful for a moment, then smiled and said.

"Whether it's worth it or not, let's bring Lu Zhuqian back first."

Wang Qiang nodded and immediately sent someone to bring Lu Zhuqian over.

On the other side, Lu Zhuqian looked at her mother with a look of shock on her face.

"Mom, you're not kidding, are you? Jiang Feng has such a powerful background?"

Lu Rouxiang's face was solemn.

"How could I possibly make such a joke?"

"By the way, I heard that Yuanchang County has started arresting people to investigate Yitian Mining. You should be prepared. If you get arrested, just insist that you know nothing."

"You don't need to worry about what other people do; they certainly won't betray you."

Lu Zhuqian was somewhat puzzled.

"Mom, will they come back to arrest me? Didn't Ya Ke and the others already take care of this?"

Lu Rouxiang looked at her silly daughter and said.

"They'll definitely come. After all, you've made quite a few appearances in Yuanchang County. Even though they have no evidence, they'll still take you away for investigation. Just stick to the fact that you know nothing and have no idea what's going on."

"Don't worry about the rest. I promise you won't be implicated."

Lu Zhuqian nodded and didn't say anything more.

Soon, a team of police officers arrived at Lu Rouxiang's home.

Hu Hanshuo did not lead the team himself, but instead sent Ning Jinhua, a confidant of Gao Yuqiang, to arrest the people.

After all, this matter involves the family members of municipal leaders, so it's impossible for the county police to come and arrest them. We can only request the municipal bureau to intervene and help arrest them.

"Mayor Lu, I am Ning Jinhua, the executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We would like to ask your daughter to cooperate in the investigation of a case in Yuanchang County."

Lu Rouxiang glanced at Ning Jinhua indifferently, and then spoke directly.

"Okay, cooperating with the investigation is no problem, but I advise you to follow the rules. If my daughter has any problems, well..."

Ning Jinhua's expression remained unchanged as he solemnly stated.

"Please rest assured, Secretary Lu, our Municipal Bureau will strictly adhere to the red lines of discipline and will never act recklessly."

Lu Rouxiang nodded slightly and made way for her.

The group entered Lu Rouxiang's house and took Lu Zhuqian, who was dressed in pajamas, away.

"Qianqian, once you're inside, cooperate with the police officers. Just answer whatever they ask. As long as you don't do anything wrong, no one can touch you."

Lu Zhuqian's acting also improved, with a hint of panic and tears in her eyes, as if she were really just a little girl who didn't understand anything but was pretending to be calm.

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry."

Lu Rouxiang stood at the entrance of the building, watching Lu Zhuqian being taken away. Her expression changed, and then she made a phone call.
