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

Lu Ming slammed his knee into the man's stomach, and the man immediately curled up on the ground.

Just then, Mu Xueqi got out of the car and came over. Lu Ming asked her to watch the man while he got into his car.

The man's phone was still on the stand, and the screen displayed a navigation interface.

However, there is a small red dot flashing continuously on the interface.

Lu Ming immediately understood what was going on; he knew that someone had placed a GPS tracker in his car!

He took the phone, got out of the car, threw it to Mu Xueqi, then grabbed the man's hair and slapped him hard across the face twice.

The man, not expecting Lu Ming to be so violent, hurriedly begged for mercy, "Big brother, please stop hitting me..."

Lu Ming asked, "Who gave you permission to follow me?"

The man replied, "Brother, you might not know this, but people in our line of work never meet with clients in person; we always communicate by phone."

Lu Ming, of course, wouldn't easily believe such nonsense, and asked again, "Then when did you start following me?"

"It only starts tonight."

"tonight?"

"Yes."

Lu Ming asked疑惑地, "My car is parked in Qingwufang, where security is tight. How did you install the tracking device?"

Lu Ming didn't suspect it was Qian Kuo, because he was already next to the car when he was stopped with Meng Ting.

Although Sister Jing called him to ask for permission, it was impossible for him to install a tracking device under her very nose.

Unless he can foresee the future and predict it in advance.

The man stammered and couldn't answer the question.

Seeing this, Lu Ming slapped him twice more and shouted, "Tell me, who ordered you to do this!"

"Big brother, I...I really don't know."

Lu Ming raised his hand again, at which point Mu Xueqi spoke up, "Let me do it."

She took a switchblade out of her pocket, pressed it lightly, and the blade popped out instantly.

Without any further ado, he grabbed the man's right wrist and stabbed his hand through with a knife.

The man's pig-like screams echoed through the night, and before he could stop, Mu Xueqi grabbed his left wrist again.

Seeing Mu Xueqi raise the switchblade again, the man was instantly terrified and blurted out, "I'll talk, I'll talk."

Lu Ming watched in disbelief, never expecting that Mu Xueqi, who was gentle and tender in bed, could also have such a volatile side.

"It was Mayor Han; he's the one who sent me to follow you!"

It was her!

Lu Ming asked, "Why did he ask you to follow me?"

"I...I don't know, really, he didn't tell me..."

Mu Xueqi suddenly asked, "Was there a bug in the car?"

The man's eyes flickered, but seeing Mu Xueqi raise the switchblade again, he quickly replied, "I was just pretending."

Lu Ming's heart sank, and he asked with a serious expression, "Did you hear everything I said in the car?"

The man dared not look Lu Ming in the eye: "I...I heard it."

"And...and I've already sent what you said to Mayor Han."

Lu Ming's heart sank to the bottom.

If Han Jin finds out about his conversation with Meng Ting, he will definitely tell Qian Kuo!

If Qian Kuo finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Lu Ming searched the man's phone, but after a long time, he couldn't find any chat history between the man and Han Jinlai.

He tossed the phone to the man and said, "Find my chat history."

The man opened an anonymous chat application with a read receipt feature.

At this moment, the message sent by the man on the page is still unread.

Lu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he was not completely at ease.

Because the message is right here, Han Jinlai will see it sooner or later.

No, I have to come up with a solution before he sees the message!

Lu Ming was quite annoyed. Tonight's plan was perfect, and he had successfully stalled for time.

But no matter how much he planned, he never expected that Han Jinlai had installed a GPS tracker and a bugging device in his car and sent people to follow him!

Seeing Lu Ming's embarrassed expression, Mu Xueqi asked, "What did you say in the car just now?"

Lu did not answer; his eyes flickered with a mixture of emotions, and he could only think of one solution.

Arrest them!

There was no other choice at this point; the plan had to be brought forward!

Tonight, we must arrest and control Han Jinlai.

He looked down at the man, pulled off his belt, and then tied it around his legs.

They then untied his shoelaces, tied his hands together, and threw him into the trunk.

Mu Xueqi asked, "What do we do now?"

"Arrest them!"

"Who should we arrest?"

"Han Jinlai!"

Mu Xueqi raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

Lu Ming said solemnly, "If I don't arrest him, I will be exposed."

"Once exposed, Qian Kuo will definitely take precautions in advance, and by then it will be too late."

Mu Xueqi realized the die was cast and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Lu Ming said, "You take my car and make sure the girl is settled in. As for this man, lock him up first!"

After giving Mu Xueqi his instructions, Lu Ming drove her car to Zhuo Xi Mansion.

On the way, he dialed Yu Wei's number.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Ming said urgently, "Mayor, the situation has changed. We need to take Han Jinlai into custody today."

Yu Wei, who had been resting, suddenly became serious upon hearing Lu Ming's words.

"What happened?"

Lu Ming briefly explained the situation and said solemnly, "Tonight is our last chance. If we don't arrest them now, Qian Kuo won't give us a second chance once he finds out."

Yu Wei quickly reviewed the current situation and concluded that arresting the suspect was the only viable option.

The problem now is that their preparations are not sufficient and are somewhat rushed.

Yu Wei remained silent for a long time, and Lu Ming did not urge her.

"Who are you planning to send to make the arrest?"

"Xu Zhipeng, Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission!"

"Can he believe it?"

"Can."

Lu Ming's overly confident answer surprised Yu Wei.

But now wasn't the time to pry. She simply asked, "Should you contact them or should I?"

Lu Ming said, "Mayor, you contact him. I'll call him again once you've made contact."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The event was so sudden that even she was unprepared.

After forcing herself to calm down, Yu Wei finally found Xu Zhipeng's phone number and dialed it.

After hanging up Yu Wei's call, Lu Ming drove directly to Han Jinlai's residential area.

He glanced at the time, guessing that Yu Wei had already finished her call, before dialing Xu Zhipeng's number.

The call was connected.

"Secretary Xu, Mayor Yu has already told you everything, hasn't he?"

"I already said so."

Xu Zhipeng's voice sounded somewhat flustered.

He was about to go to sleep when he suddenly received a call from Yu Wei, who demanded that he immediately place Han Jin under investigation.

This happened so suddenly that he was momentarily stunned.

He hurriedly put on his clothes while trying to figure out what was going on.

However, we had too little information to analyze anything.

Upon receiving Lu Ming's call, Xu Zhipeng hurriedly asked, "Secretary Lu, what has Mayor Han done wrong?"

Lu Ming didn't answer directly, but said, "You come and arrest them first. I'll wait for you downstairs at Mayor Han's building."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming clenched his fists, feeling uneasy.

The plan has now been forced to be brought forward, but he has far too little evidence!

However, it's not to say there's absolutely no chance.

If we can break through Han Jinlai's psychological defenses, we can turn the tables and regain the initiative.

Lu Ming picked up the phone that was tracking her man and glanced at the chat interface. The message was still unread.

After waiting for about half an hour, several private cars drove in and parked downstairs in front of Han Jinlai's apartment building...
