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

Lu Ming has a high alcohol tolerance, and he didn't drink much last night, so he is still perfectly sober.

Just as Cao Gang had described, the hotel was indeed a bit simple, but it was clean.

Lu Ming returned to his room, took a quick shower, and then lay down on the bed.

He checked his phone and saw that Su Ran and Mu Xueqi had sent him several messages.

Lu Ming first explained to Su Ran, and then replied to Mu Xueqi's message.

When Mu Xueqi learned that Lu Ming was in Qingyang Town, she was visibly disappointed.

"I heard from my master that the matter has been resolved?"

"Yes, it's resolved."

"You're really amazing; you even came up with this kind of idea."

The two chatted for almost an hour before Lu Ming said, "I have to go now, I need to sleep. I have to drive back to the city early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you should get some rest."

I had just put my phone down when someone knocked on the door.

Lu Ming walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. He was stunned to see Xu Ru standing there.

Why are you knocking on my door in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Lu Ming had already guessed her purpose.

In the past, he would naturally have ignored it.

But tonight is different.

I've had a little wine, and I'm in a good mood right now.

Seeing Xu Ru at the door, Lu Ming couldn't help but think of that day in the private room.

With a combination of factors, Lu Ming inexplicably opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Ru slid in like an eel and closed the door behind her.

"you……"

Xu Ru was about to speak when she saw Lu Ming's state and was taken aback.

Her pretty face flushed instantly, and she turned her head to the side, asking, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Lu Ming remained unfazed and said nonchalantly, "This is my room. Isn't it normal not to be wearing clothes?"

"But...but even if it's your room, you should at least put on some clothes before opening the door for someone!"

"Isn't it because I forgot?"

The two of them knew exactly what Xu Ru was thinking when she knocked on the door so late at night.

But no one expected such a thunderous start.

For a moment, both of them remained silent.

Finally, Lu Ming took the initiative to speak: "Did you come here for something?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Xu Ru pretended to relax and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xu Ru said, "My bathroom doesn't have hot water, so I'm borrowing yours for a bit."

Her excuse was clumsy, and Lu Ming tacitly refrained from calling it out.

Everything is just right today; let things take their natural course.

Xu Ru told Lu Ming to turn around.

……

Lu Ming turned around, his eyes revealing admiration.

Her straight, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing her graceful curves and shapely figure.

Seeing Lu Ming staring at her, Xu Ru remained calm. She gave a light scolding, handed the keys to Lu Ming, and said quietly, "Bring me my bag."

Lu Ming asked疑惑地问道, "Why are you taking the bag?"

"We'll need the things inside later..."

Lu Ming instantly understood and turned to go next door.

Their two rooms were next to each other. Lu Ming took out his key and opened the door, but he heard footsteps in the hallway. Startled, he hurriedly opened the door and went inside.

Xu Ru was wrapped up on the bed. When Lu Ming pulled it open, he was surprised to see that it was the security guard.

This woman is really something!

However, Lu Ming didn't care about Xu Ru's private life; whether it was messy or not was none of his business.

Anyway, everyone's just playing along and having fun. Anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.

Lu Ming had just stepped out of his room with his bag when he saw a figure slip into his room.

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Although it was only a blink of an eye, he could clearly see that the woman who had entered his room was dressed in a rather sultry manner.

Lu Ming had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Just as I was wondering, I heard footsteps in the hallway again. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few people.

He hurriedly retreated to Xu Ru's room and stood at the door looking out through the peephole.

The next second, a group of uniformed police officers passed by the door, and Lu Ming immediately understood.

The woman who just entered my room was definitely giggling.

The woman had just gone in when the police came to check her room; it was clearly a setup.

Lu Ming took a deep breath, his heart filled with rage.

who is it?

Xu Ru?

wrong!

She's still taking a shower in her room!

If the police actually storm in, she will also be affected.

Who is that?

Li Ping!

Lu Ming suddenly thought of that bastard.

In the afternoon, I asked Zhou Lin to attend the funeral. She was clearly unwilling, but after playing on her phone for a while, she changed her mind. It was obvious that Li Ping had asked her to come.

Therefore, this situation is most likely orchestrated by Li Pingqian.

"Damn it, they've tripped me up time and time again. Do they really think I have no temper?"

Lu Ming did not retaliate against Zhou Lin's several petty actions.

It's not that they didn't want to fight back, but that they hadn't found an opportunity to strike decisively.

But now, Li Ping's repeated provocations have completely enraged Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took several deep breaths to keep himself calm.

Even if we want to deal with Li Ping, we can't act rashly; we need to make a plan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door next door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Police are conducting a room check, open the door!"

The noise was so loud it seemed it would wake everyone on this floor.

Sure enough, a short while later, Wu Yun came out wearing a bathrobe.

Subsequently, Zhou Lin and Officer Zhang also came out one after another.

Upon seeing the police officers, a glint of triumphant excitement flashed in Zhou Lin's eyes.

"What happened?"

"What are the police doing here?"

"That looks like Secretary Lu's room, doesn't it?"

"Something happened to Secretary Lu?"
