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

Lu Ming looked puzzled, not understanding what Song Chuhe meant by those words.

Song Chuhe continued, "236 Chaoyang Road, that's an above-ground parking garage, I put some things in there."

"The garage key is hidden in the metal barrel next to it. If you can find an opportunity, go and take the things out of there. You'll need them."

Lu Ming silently read the address aloud and wrote it down.

As Song Chuhe said, he only has a chance to break the deadlock if he can overcome this difficulty.

Song Chuhe said, "But you don't need to worry too much, I will do my best to protect you."

"Please take care of my family back home. I'm afraid Wenwen won't be able to accept this sudden investigation..."

Upon hearing Song Chuhe mention Li Wen, Lu Ming could no longer contain himself and said seriously, "Mayor, this whole scheme of yours was orchestrated by Li Wen in collusion with them!"

Then, Lu Ming recounted the phone call he had overheard, along with Li Wen's extravagant lifestyle and her intimate encounters with other men over the past two years.

"It really is her..."

A hint of pain flashed across Song Chuhe's brows; he had already had some doubts while watching the video.

He knew very well that he had slept with Li Wen, and when he woke up this morning, there were only the two of them in bed.

This means that last night, after he fell asleep drunk, Li Wen opened the door for the two women and filmed them having sex with him.

Song Chuhe never imagined that his bedmate would one day collude with outsiders to plunge him into utter ruin.

In an instant, Song Chuhe appeared to have aged several years.

"Mayor, you..."

Song Chuhe waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

He then picked up a cigarette, lit it, and silently began to smoke.

Halfway through the draw, he said to Lu Ming, "Please invite Secretary Xu in."

Lu Ming went to open the door: "Secretary Xu, Mayor Song invites you in."

Just as Xu Zhipeng entered and was about to speak, Song Chuhe said, "I need to see my wife. I have some things to tell her."

"no problem."

Xu Zhipeng readily agreed, but Lu Ming keenly observed a fleeting hint of mockery in Xu Zhipeng's eyes, as if he were watching a show.

Song Chuhe dialed Li Wen's number and said in a deep voice, "Wenwen, come to the municipal government. I have something to say to you."

Fifteen minutes later, Li Wen arrived. Seeing Xu Zhipeng and the others, she showed no surprise, walked straight to Song Chuhe, and asked, "Honey, what did you want to see me about?"

Song Chuhe didn't reply to her, but looked at Lu Ming and Xu Zhipeng and said, "Little Lu, Secretary Xu, could you please leave for a moment?"

After the others left, Song Chuhe stared intently at Li Wen and asked, word by word, "Whose son is Bingbing?"

The Bingbing he mentioned is his son with Li Wen.

However, when he learned that Li Wen had colluded with outsiders to set him up, Song Chuhe became suspicious.

This Bingbing may not be his son.

Li Wen was taken aback by the question, her eyes darting around in a panic as she said, "You... what nonsense are you talking about? Are you still drunk from last night? Bingbing is of course your son!"

Bang!

Song Chuhe slammed his fist on the table, his eyes blazing with fury, and said, "Li Wen, do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Tell me, whose bastard is that!"

"I..." Li Wen was surprised that Song Chuhe would find out about this, and she was flustered for a moment.

However, thinking of Chu He's current situation, she quickly calmed down and snorted, "Who cares whose child he is? As long as he calls you 'Dad,' that's fine, isn't it?"

"You...you bitch!"

Song Chuhe's chest heaved with anger, clearly not expecting Li Wen to say such shameless things.

Li Wen crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "Since you already know, then I won't hide it from you anymore."

"You guessed right, Bingbing is indeed not your child. I married you not because I love you, but because of your identity."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably under investigation by the authorities for bribery and womanizing, right?"

"I might as well tell you everything at once: I took all the gold and cash in the house, and I arranged for you to meet those two women last night."

"Song Chuhe, you've spent your whole life walking on thin ice, carefully trying to reach the other side, but you never expected that I would pull you down from your horse."

Li Wen became more and more smug as she spoke, as if bringing down a mayor was something she was very proud of.

Even though Song Chuhe had spent half his life navigating the officialdom and had cultivated the ability to keep his emotions hidden, he was completely overwhelmed by anger at this moment.

"You bitch, you slut!"

Li Wen didn't care at all and continued to provoke Song Chuhe, saying, "Go ahead and curse while you can. Once you're inside, you won't be able to curse anymore."

"You'll be inside with iron doors, iron bars, and iron chains, while I'll take the money and fly far away!"

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Li Wen chuckled softly and swayed her hips as she left the office.

Seeing Li Wen come out and hearing Song Chuhe's furious cursing, Lu Ming quickly went inside.

Although I don't know what the two of them just said, judging from Mayor Song's expression, he must have been provoked by Li Wen.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, Song Chuhe gritted his teeth and said, "Little Lu, don't let Li Wen get away with this!"

Lu Ming nodded emphatically: "Mayor, don't worry, I won't let her get away with this!"

Song Chuhe looked at Lu Ming, a look of relief appearing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Xiao Lu, they won't dare to lay a hand on you anytime soon."

Lu Ming didn't quite understand what he meant, but before he could ask, Song Chuhe continued, "Little Lu, I'll give you one last big gift!"

Lu Ming was increasingly confused and asked, "Mayor, what are you talking about?"

Song Chuhe didn't explain, but lowered his voice and whispered, "I installed surveillance cameras in the office. After you've finished your investigation by the disciplinary committee, remove the memory card!"

Is there CCTV in this office?

Lu Ming subconsciously turned his head to look for a possible hidden surveillance camera, but Song Chuhe reminded him, "Don't turn your head randomly!"

Lu Ming immediately dared not turn his head again, but he became curious again. Could there be some big secret hidden in the surveillance footage?

You should know that normally, Song Chuhe is the only person in this office!

As if entrusting his orphan to a dying man, Song Chuhe said earnestly, "Little Lu, I will pave the way for you to break this deadlock. The rest is up to you!"

"I hope... you won't let me down!"

"Mayor, I..."

Just as Lu Ming was about to ask, Xu Zhipeng walked over and asked, "Mayor Song, can we come with us now?"

Song Chuhe patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said, "Little Lu, you can go out now. I need to say a few words to Secretary Xu."

He then turned to the other members of the Discipline Inspection Commission and said, "Could you please give me a few more minutes? I have a few words to say to Secretary Xu."

Xu Zhipeng looked quite interested, curious about what Song Chuhe wanted to say to him.

The group exchanged glances, then left the office together, closing the door behind them.
