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

After Qian Kuo left, Lu Ming returned to the changing room.

He looked up at the ceiling, where the pinhole camera was positioned perfectly within a gap in the ceiling, its color matching the gap itself. It was impossible to spot unless you looked very closely.

At this moment, Yingying walked over, her body softly pressed against Lu Ming, and she called out in a coquettish voice, "Secretary Lu."

Lu Ming pushed her away, got up and walked out.

Yingying hurriedly followed, asking worriedly, "Secretary Lu, are you angry?"

She thought it was because she had spoken to Chairman Qian that Lu Ming was unhappy.

"Angry? What are you angry about?"

Lu Ming stubbornly refused to admit it.

Yingying said, "Secretary Lu, how about I arrange someone similar to Tingting for you?"

Just as Lu Ming was about to say no, Yingying said, "16, in perfect condition."

16?

Lu Ming feigned interest and asked, "How old is Tingting?"

Yingying replied, "Tingting is twenty, but she's been with Mayor Han for six years."

Lu Ming was shocked, and asked with a look of surprise and doubt, "So small?"

Yingying said, "Mayor Han likes small ones."

Lu Ming feigned nonchalance and said, "Little one? I just picked it up and felt it; it's quite big."

Yingying smiled faintly: "Those who can enter Qingwufang are naturally carefully selected."

"Just tell me what kind of person Secretary Lu likes, and I guarantee I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Lu Ming seemed intrigued and asked, "You have all kinds?"

Yingying said confidently, "Of course, Qingwufang can meet all of Secretary Lu's requirements."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's heart sank.

This Qingwu Lane was probably more than just a place where the wealthy entertained powerful and influential people.

This place is also a den of crime.

I'm afraid many underage girls are being persecuted here.

"Then... do you have any smaller ones?"

"Yes, if Secretary Lu wants it, I can arrange it for you right now."

Lu Ming waved his hand and asked, "Does this Tingting have any sisters?"

Yingying's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but feel speechless.

All that talk was for nothing; we've come full circle back to Tingting.

Yingying shook her head: "No, but I can help you find someone who looks similar to her."

"Forget it, what's the point of something similar? I want to play with Han Jinlai's woman!"

Yingying didn't reply and followed Lu Ming, seeing him off out of Qingwufang.

Lu Ming went straight to Mu Xueqi's house. As soon as he entered, Mu Xueqi asked, "Is the surveillance camera installed?"

"Um."

"Can it be viewed remotely?"

"Can."

Lu Ming took out his phone and opened the surveillance footage.

He also wanted to see the angle of the surveillance footage.

After all, Qian Kuo came in right after the installation was completed, and he didn't have time to adjust it.

"What are you pretending for?"

"In the gap in the ceiling of the changing room."

Lu Ming took a look; the angle was perfect.

Not only can you capture the entire tatami mat, but you can also capture the entire hot spring pool in a photo.

Mu Xueqi glanced at the screen and asked, "You're only installing one private room? Its usefulness is probably quite limited, isn't it?"

Lu Ming chuckled: "You think I just picked this private room randomly?"

"I'd heard beforehand that Han Jinlai is a regular in this private room!"

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. I made a major discovery when I went to Qingwufang today."

Mu Xueqi asked in confusion, "What?"

Lu Ming's expression was grave: "There are underage girls in Qingwufang!"

"I suspect these little girls are probably being held captive inside."

Mu Xueqi's expression changed: "Are you sure?"

Lu Ming nodded and said, "It's pretty much true."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xueqi jumped up from the sofa and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Lu Ming quickly grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Mu Xueqi said angrily, "Of course we should arrest them!"

"Making underage girls provide sexual services to the powerful and wealthy, whether voluntary or coerced, is a serious crime."

Lu Ming said in a deep voice, "Calm down!"

"The guests at Qingwufang are all big shots from Songxi. You've barely left with the police when they receive the news and immediately arrange for your relocation. By the time you arrive, it'll be too late."

"If you go there now, you won't be able to save anyone, and you'll only alert the enemy."

Mu Xueqi fell silent for a moment.

She knew Lu Ming was right, but the thought of so many underage girls suffering in such dire straits filled her with anger.

"Alright, a small act of impatience can ruin a big plan!"

Lu Ming was equally annoyed, but he also knew that being annoyed was useless.

Even if we could rescue those girls now, it would only be a temporary solution.

As long as Qingwufang exists, this kind of thing will never be stopped.

Only by wiping out Qian Kuo and his forces and uprooting Qingwufang can we completely eliminate future troubles.

"By the way, there's something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

"Go and investigate the senior executives of those four state-owned enterprises that were sold off cheaply. I need to know their current situation."

Lu Ming wanted to know if they had also been bribed by Qian Kuo.

If not, then a death warning must have been received.

If it's the latter, you might be able to find some useful information from the other party.

"it is good."

Mu Xueqi nodded in agreement.

In the following days, Lu Ming never went to Qingwufang again.

Qian Kuo was not surprised by this, assuming that Lu Ming was angry, which was why he did not come.

……

In the office, Kuo Shuixian, with one hand supporting her chin and the other twirling a carbon pen, asked listlessly, "Old Lu, when are you finally moving back in?"

She had been staying at Lu Ming's house for more than half a month, and was extremely bored, spending all her time alone in the empty house.

"Let's talk about that later."

Lu Ming was busy at the moment, because just now, Mu Xueqi had sent him the information of four senior executives from state-owned enterprises.

These four people are currently either traveling or unemployed at home.

Moreover, after they all sold their properties to state-owned enterprises, without exception, they all purchased new real estate or luxury cars.

This alone proves that they were all involved in the process of selling off state-owned enterprises at bargain prices.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Lu Ming looked up and saw that the person who came was actually Vice Mayor Han Jinlai.

He forced a smile: "Mayor Han is here to see Mayor Yu?"

Han Jinlai shook his head and said, "I came to find you."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Luo Shuixian beside him, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Top-notch!

When did the municipal government acquire such a stunningly beautiful woman?

Could it be Mayor Yu's secretary again?

"If Secretary Lu isn't busy, let's talk outside."

Lu Ming followed Han Jinjin out, and Han Jinjin led Lu Ming into a small conference room.

After sitting down, Han Jinlai took out a cigarette and tossed one to Lu Ming.

Then, he placed the document in his hand in front of Lu Ming, gesturing for Lu Ming to take a look.

Lu Ming picked up the document and flipped through it, his pupils quickly shrinking.

Because this turned out to be a business plan for the sale of a state-owned enterprise!

The restructuring and evaluation have been completed.

After reading it, Lu Ming frowned deeply: "3300 million? Mayor Han isn't joking with me, is he?"

Han Jinlai said calmly, "They were all assessed by professional third-party organizations, and the procedures were all legal and compliant."

"If you have time, Secretary Lu, please have Mayor Yu sign and stamp this document."

Then, Han Jinlai lowered his voice and whispered, "Don't keep Chairman Qian waiting too long."

Lu Ming feigned confusion: "Chairman Qian?"

Han Jinlai chuckled and said, "Alright, we're all on the same side, so stop pretending to be ignorant. Do you think Chairman Qian's money is so easy to win?"

Lu Ming said in a deep voice, "Mayor Yu probably won't sign it."

Han Jinlai looked at Lu Ming's furrowed brows and suddenly smiled...
