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

Several people approached and asked, "Officer, what happened?"

The police replied, "We received a tip that someone is singing loudly in this room!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Wu Yun asked excitedly, "Really?"

She had already noticed Lu Ming's displeasure, and now that Fang Piaochang had attracted the police, she couldn't be happier.

Zhou Lin then put on an act, frowning and saying, "That's impossible, officers. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

Officer Zhang also looked suspicious, feeling that something seemed amiss.

Putting aside whether Lu Ming is that kind of person or not, even if he really does like that kind of thing, how could he so easily find a prostitute to come to his door in this unfamiliar place?

Bang bang bang!

"Open the door!"

"If you don't open the door, we'll break it down!"

In the next room, Lu Ming heard everyone's conversation clearly.

He didn't rush out; instead, he planned to leave after the police broke down the door.

No one answered the door. The policeman took a half step back and then kicked the door hard.

With a bang, the door opened.

Several police officers filed in, one of them even holding a body camera, clearly intending to record the entire enforcement process.

"Put your hands behind your head and squat down!"

As soon as they entered the house, the police shouted at them.

But the next second, everyone was stunned.

There was no woman in the room, only a woman dressed in a flamboyant manner sitting on the edge of the bed.

kindness?

Where is Lu Ming?

Just then, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

The police immediately grabbed the doorknob to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.

"Lu Ming, open the door!"

"What Lu Ming? Who are you?"

Xu Ru's annoyed voice came from inside.

The police were taken aback when they heard that it was also a woman inside.

Why is she still a woman?

Wu Yun and the others gathered at the door.

"That voice sounds like Director Xu?"

"Why is Director Xu in Secretary Lu's room?"

"Could those two be...?"

Lu Ming then came out of the next room, stood behind the group, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The group turned around and saw that Lu Ming was actually standing right behind them.

What's going on here?

Zhou Lin's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on her face: "Secretary Lu... what are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, the police officers all turned around and looked at them, asking, "Are you Lu Ming?"

"It's me, officers. What can I do for you?"

Lu Ming was certain from Zhou Lin's reaction that tonight's events were definitely related to her.

"We...we received a tip-off call saying..."

The police officer, feeling uneasy, repeated what he had said.

They then realized that the prostitute had gone into the wrong room, and so had they.

This is not Lu Ming's room at all!

"Oh? You're reporting me for singing?"

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, then took out his phone and took pictures of each of the police officers.

The police officer panicked and said, "Secretary Lu... what do you mean by this?"

Lu Ming asked, "Which police station are you from?"

"We are from Longzhong Road Police Station, Shenze County."

"Shenze County? Okay."

Lu Ming immediately dialed the phone number of Jin Kui, the county magistrate of Shenze County.

"Hello, County Chief Jin..."

After the call connected, Lu Ming briefly explained the situation.

"Secretary Lu, I swear, I have absolutely no knowledge of this matter."

Jin Kui's temples were throbbing wildly.

When Yu Wei came down to inspect the area last time, they brought local specialties without prior notice, which almost offended Lu Ming.

Tonight, on his turf, Lu Ming was reported for singing, and the police even went. If he can't explain himself clearly, Lu Ming probably won't let him off the hook.

Lu Ming sneered: "You don't know? I'm in Qingyang Town. There are people singing in the town, so why are the people from the county police station here?"

"Secretary Lu, please believe me, I truly knew nothing about this. But rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

The police officers were in a panic. Why did the county magistrate seem so afraid of this Secretary Lu?

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming said coldly, "What are you still standing here for? Director Xu is taking a shower inside. Do you want to come and see?"

Several police officers quickly led the prostitute out and closed the door again.

A short while later, Xu Ru came out dressed.

She overheard everyone's conversation clearly while she was in the restroom.

She had already figured it out; someone had deliberately set a trap for Lu Ming.

Luckily, I sent Lu Ming next door to get something; otherwise, if I had been caught, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself no matter how hard I tried.

Xu Ru glanced at the policeman with a livid face, said nothing threatening, and simply took the key from Lu Ming and went back to her room.

Less than a minute later, she came out of the room with her bag and walked downstairs on her own.

Lu Ming also went back to his room, packed his things, and went downstairs.

No one else dared to stay overnight. Although the other party was clearly after Lu Ming, they were worried that it might affect them. So they packed their things and prepared to leave overnight.

After the group went downstairs, they called a designated driver.

When the others arrived, Wu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Director Xu, why were you taking a shower in Secretary Lu's room?"

Everyone else also perked up their ears, clearly very interested in the gossip.

Lu Ming explained, "Director Xu's room didn't have hot water, so he switched rooms with me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun felt that this guy was incredibly lucky.

Zhou Lin was extremely unwilling; her well-thought-out plan had fallen through once again!

A dozen minutes later, Jin Kui called.

"Secretary Lu, I've checked, and it's true that someone made a report."

Lu Ming said coldly, "If County Chief Jin says that, then it's not very interesting."

"Secretary Lu, I..."

Lu Ming interrupted Jin Kui, saying, "If I hadn't been lucky enough to switch rooms with Director Xu tonight, I'd probably be in jail by now."

"Director Xu, a woman, was taking a shower when a group of police officers suddenly kicked the door open. If I had been in the room at the time, what do you think the consequences would have been if word got out?"

Jin Kui was taken aback and asked, "Director Xu? Which Director Xu?"

Lu Ming said, "Xu Ru, Director of the Haiyuan District Office!"

Jin Kui gasped, then quickly said, "Secretary Lu, I truly knew nothing about this..."

Lu Ming was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and interrupted again, "Jin Kui, it's pointless for you to say this, and it's even more pointless for me to listen to it."

"Those policemen who came tonight stripped them naked!"

"Secretary Lu, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What? You, the dignified magistrate of Shenze County, can't even handle such a small matter?"

"Secretary Lu, they are all officially employed staff, and they only went there after receiving a tip-off call. They didn't do anything wrong."

Lu Ming had lost his patience: "If they haven't made a mistake, then find a way to make them make one!"

"In short, if you can't skin them alive, I'll take your hat off!"

After saying that, Lu Ming hung up the phone...
