The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 136 - 0: You Can’t Leave!

Shen Manwen couldn’t help but frown. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, hearing the news firsthand still made her terribly upset.

"Secretary Huang, are we just going to let those people distort the truth and slander others at will?"

"Manwen, do you have any evidence?"

"I don’t have evidence yet, Secretary Huang. Could you give me three more days? I’m not willing to give up just yet. If I haven’t found any evidence after three days, I will return to the province with you." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Huang Xiangtao gave Shen Manwen a displeased look.

"Nonsense! Manwen, do you think our provincial discipline inspection commission handles cases like child’s play? Do you think you can delay as long as you want? To stay in Ji County for such a trivial matter for three more days? How would Secretary Tian view me? Might he think I am incompetent in handling affairs?"

"This..."

Shen Manwen fell silent; she certainly shouldn’t, out of her own minor wilfulness, cause Secretary Huang to be criticized.

Seeing that Shen Manwen was truly unwilling to give up, Huang Xiangtao said gently, "Manwen, whether I get criticized is not important. The main issue is that there is a suitable position available at the ministry. If you don’t seize this opportunity and someone else fills the vacancy, the governor’s efforts will have been in vain!"

Shen Manwen sighed softly.

"I understand; let them have their way for a few more years! Once I have gained enough experience at the ministry, I will come back! Secretary Huang, I’ll go with you!"

A smile of relief appeared on Huang Xiangtao’s face.

"That’s more like it! Manwen, with your background and platform, there is absolutely no need for you to stubbornly remain in a small county town! In at most five years, once you reach the position of deputy director, you can come back and settle scores!"

Shen Manwen gave a wry smile; she naturally had no need to stubbornly remain here.

Yet she just felt somewhat unwilling.

Well, she wouldn’t admit it, but she had developed attachments in Ji County.

The man who took her first time, the man who got beaten to a pulp trying to save her, was deeply engraved in her heart.

She couldn’t get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.

Cheng Yuan, goodbye.

It might be goodbye forever.

Shen Manwen followed Huang Xiangtao out of the Jinmao Hotel and got into his official car.

The car started and headed straight for the freeway entrance.

...

Cheng Yuan was still unaware at this moment that the girl he had spent the night with was about to leave. He was sound asleep in the embrace of Pan Bao’er!

Beep beep...

The ringing of the phone woke Cheng Yuan, who grabbed it with a scowl.

Who could it be?

Calling him so early in the morning.

So annoying.

When he saw the name displayed on the screen, Cheng Yuan’s anger quickly dissipated.

With a poof, Cheng Yuan sat up, his face breaking into a smile.

"Director Liu, does the executive director have any instructions?"

Liu Xi’s voice was very urgent. If Shen Manwen left, she would be like an orphan in Ji County, unable to make a move!

"Director Cheng, have there been no developments on your end? The executive director is already in Secretary Huang’s car of the provincial discipline inspection commission and is likely almost at the freeway now."

What?

Was the executive director so hasty to leave?

Wasn’t she promised three days?

Fortunately, he was capable enough!

"Director Liu, don’t panic; I’m going to call the executive director right now and make her stay!"

...

Seeing that the freeway entrance was right ahead,

Shen Manwen’s emotions were a mix of feelings.

She was unwilling.

Very unwilling.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated intensely!

Shen Manwen took out her phone, and her face visibly froze when she saw the name on the screen.

This little guy was quite well-informed. How did he find out so quickly that she was leaving?

Well, might as well take it as a final farewell.

Shen Manwen answered the call, and Cheng Yuan’s slightly anxious voice came through the speaker.

"Executive director, don’t leave! Niu Dacheng has been caught!"

Shen Manwen was startled and asked subconsciously, "Niu Dacheng? Who is that?"

Soon, Shen Manwen realized what Cheng Yuan was talking about!

Although Shen Manwen was normally stoic even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, hearing this news made her face flush with excitement!

Her voice even trembled a bit!

"Stop the car! Pull over right now!!"

The driver instinctively hit the brakes, then quickly released them.

He suddenly realized that he was Huang Xiangtao’s driver and had to obey Huang Xiangtao’s orders first.

Huang Xiangtao said sternly, "Listen to Manwen, pull over immediately."

"Yes, Secretary Huang."

The driver hurriedly pulled over to the side of the road.

Shen Manwen, suppressing her excitement, asked, "You said Niu Dacheng, the one involved in that affair?"

Cheng Yuan’s tone was very certain.

"Yes, it was Niu Dacheng’s doing!"

"Good! Very good! Extremely good! Cheng Yuan! You haven’t disappointed me!! Has he confessed?"

"Yes, he has confessed. He was instigated to sneak into your residence on the evening of August 18th and place eight hundred thousand cash in the refrigerator!"

Shen Manwen eagerly asked, "Was it Jin Zhanpeng who instigated him?"

Cheng Yuan didn’t answer directly but asked in a grave tone, "Executive director, can you speak freely where you are?"

Shen Manwen quickly realized what Cheng Yuan meant and said sternly, "Secretary Huang is one of us, so speak without any concern!"

Without any further hesitation, Cheng Yuan declared, "Executive director, according to our interrogation, Niu Dacheng confessed that the person who instigated him was Dai Fei, the instructor of the City Gate Police Station."

Shen Manwen’s eyebrows knitted tightly!

"A mere City Gate Police Station instructor dares to frame me? There must be someone behind him! I will interrogate him myself! Where is he being held? In the county jail?"
