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

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming thought to himself that this woman was truly foolish.

Why would you just ask that directly?

Do you really think you're some kind of gullible sucker?

Lu Ming feigned confusion and asked, "Things? What things?"

Liang Fei asked, "For example, a laptop or a USB flash drive?"

Lu Ming deliberately feigned a guilty look, his eyes darting around as he said, "No,"

Liang Fei saw his reaction clearly; this stupid woman had indeed taken the bait!

Liang Fei suppressed her excitement and feigned regret, saying, "Ah, that's such a pity. If Mayor Song had left something behind, it might have contained a lot of valuable information that could have helped my uncle rise to a higher position."

"When my uncle climbs up, he will naturally not forget to help you."

As she spoke, she observed Lu Ming's micro-expressions.

Seeing Lu Ming's obvious interest, she realized he was indeed smitten.

Lu Ming sighed and said, "Yes, it's such a pity. It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Liang Fei knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed; she could only proceed gradually.

Anyway, it's now confirmed that Song Chuhe definitely left something behind.

Moreover, those things are now in Lu Ming's hands!

She was confident that she could trick Lu Ming out of those things sooner or later!

Noon the next day.

Lu Ming called Su Ran and asked her to meet up.

Su Ran was overjoyed when she received Lu Ming's call.

This was the first time Lu Ming had taken the initiative to ask her out.

The two had lunch together, and after they were full, Lu Ming asked Su Ran to help him buy a few hidden cameras.

Su pouted and said, "I knew it. You wouldn't contact people unless there was something wrong."

Hearing this, even Lu Ming, who was usually thick-skinned, felt somewhat ashamed.

Fortunately, Su Ran didn't delve into the matter further. Instead, she asked, "Why did you buy this out of the blue?"

Before Lu Ming could reply, she realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that we're going to decorate the house?"

Lu Ming didn't hide anything and nodded.

Hidden cameras are contraband; without connections, ordinary people simply cannot buy them.

How many do you want?

"Three, I guess."

"Okay, wait while I make a call."

Su Ran took out her phone, made a call, put it down, and said to Lu Ming, "Let's go."

Lu Ming was stunned. It was done just like that?

Seeing Lu Ming's surprised expression, Su Ran said smugly, "How about it? Aren't I amazing?"

Lu Ming nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

Afterwards, Su Ran drove Lu Ming to a mobile phone repair shop.

Lu Ming waited in the car. Su Ran went inside and stayed for a few minutes. When she came out, she had a black plastic bag in her hand.

"Brother Lu Ming, here you go."

"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

Lu Ming had just taken out his phone when Su Ran exploded.

"Lu Ming!"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Ming: ? ? ?

Why are you making such a big deal out of this with me?

"If you keep doing this, I'll give it back right now!"

Lu Ming gave an awkward smile, put down his phone, and said sheepishly, "Well... thanks."

Su Ran corrected him with a serious expression, "And you're not allowed to say thank you to me anymore!"

"This makes me feel very distant!"

Lu Ming's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "You've done me such a big favor, but I won't accept money or even say thank you. I really don't know what to do."

Su Ranping gave a soft snort, then raised her small face and said, "If you don't know what to do, then... give me a kiss!"

Lu Ming: ? ? ?

"Hey, what's with that expression?"

"What, is it difficult for you to kiss me?"

"Do you know how many people want to kiss me but never have the chance!"

Seeing Su Ran's resolute attitude, Lu Ming could only helplessly cup her small face and give her a quick kiss.

Feeling the warmth of Lu Ming's lips, Su Ran's expression brightened, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

Although it was just a small kiss on the cheek, Su Sanque was already very satisfied.

In the past two days, she felt that her relationship with Lu Ming was progressing rapidly.

I believe it won't be long before we can win over Lu Ming!

"Alright, take me home now."

"it is good."

Su Ran drove Lu Ming back to his apartment complex. As he got out of the car, Su Ran said, "Brother Lu Ming, remember to come find me again if there are any good things like this in the future."

Lu Ming said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Alright, you should go back now."

Lu Ming carried his things back to his front door, but instead of going in, he took out his phone and called Liang Fei to ask where she was.

After confirming that Liang Fei was not home, Lu Ming opened the door and went inside.

Lu Ming installed three pinhole cameras in the living room and two bedrooms.

This type of camera can be viewed online, which is very convenient.

Just after the installation was completed, Lu Ming received a call from Li Wen.

"Hey, Xiao Lu, Chairman Qian gave me the money!"

Lu Ming's eyes lit up, secretly admiring Chairman Qian's wealth and generosity; ten million in cash was given to Li Wen so readily.

"Madam, please hide the money well and make sure no one knows about it."

"I...I don't know where to hide it..."

Li Wen never imagined that one day she would have to worry about having too much money.

There's so much cash, the trunk simply won't hold it all!

Lu Ming said, "Here's what we'll do: rent a place first, then buy a safe to store it in."

"Okay, I got it. I'll go look for a place right now."

"Madam, remember not to use your own ID when renting the apartment, lest someone trace it back to you."

"I understand. Thank goodness for you, Xiao Lu. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Li Wen was genuinely grateful to Lu Ming this time.

Ever since Xu Zhipeng tricked her last night, she has felt like a pitiful, helpless person, and that everyone is after her.

Fortunately, Lu Ming stayed by her side the whole time, offering her advice and solutions.

"Madam, that's only right. After all, I promised Mayor Song that I would take good care of you."

"Alright, madam, go rent a place quickly. Don't tell anyone about the location of the house, not even me!"

After saying that, Lu Ming hung up the phone.

This idiot, he's been sold out and he's still helping the seller count the money!

They trust others so easily.

Lu Ming has made up his mind: he wants this ten million!

Find an opportunity to follow Li Wen, locate where she hides her money, and then plunder it all.

Lu Ming stood on the windowsill, lit a cigarette, and began to think about what path he should take next.

He had already thought about this problem yesterday. The simplest way to get out of the current predicament was to curry favor with the leader.

However, the standing committee members of Songxi could not possibly trust him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for a lower-level leader.

For example, deputy mayor, district officials, district head, etc.

According to Song Chuhe's notes, not all leaders have problems, nor do all leaders have powerful backers.

Among these neutral individuals without any powerful backers, Lu Ming quickly identified a suitable candidate.

Feng Zhikun, the head of Chang'an District.
