The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 226 - 0: Something Happened!

Cheng Yuan made a silencing gesture before answering the phone, pretending to be groggy.

"County Chief, calling me so early? What happened?"

"Early? It’s almost eight o’clock! Are you in Ji County or at Lingshan? Come to Qin Island Development Zone Substation immediately. A problem arose with an investor I brought in."

"County Chief, I am in the provincial city right now; I won’t be back until the afternoon."

"What are you doing in the provincial city?"

"It’s about Old Man Niu’s case, the journalist who was a great help; I need to thank her! Took her out for dinner and had a few extra drinks last night."

"It’s good to thank her properly and to expand your network; come back as soon as possible."

"Okay, County Chief."

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone and looked at Li Qianmo apologetically.

"Qianmo, the County Chief needs me for something important; I’m afraid I can’t stay with you..."

Li Qianmo spoke softly, "You attend to your matters. It just happens that I have an interview assignment today."

Cheng Yuan and Li Qianmo cooed for a while, dressed up, and had breakfast together.

"A Yuan, unless something unexpected happens, I might be going to Yang County for an interview in a few days. Yang County is right next to Ji County; if it’s convenient for you..."

"I will definitely make it; just let me know, and I’ll be there rain or shine."

Li Qianmo looked fondly at Cheng Yuan’s profile.

"We haven’t even parted, and I already miss you; what should I do?"

Cheng Yuan felt somewhat melancholic as well.

"When I make section chief or vice bureau chief, I’ll try to get transferred to the provincial city."

"Hmm!"

The two shared a passionate farewell kiss, and Cheng Yuan left the club, looking back three times with every step, then drove his Passat back.

By the time Cheng Yuan got back to Qin Island, it was already 2 p.m.

Guided by the address Shen Manwen had given, Cheng Yuan went straight to the Qin Island Development Zone Substation.

Cheng Yuan pulled out his phone and called Shen Manwen.

The call was picked up, but then Director Liu called back shortly after.

"Director Cheng, the County Chief is currently with Mayor Han and cannot answer the phone. Have you arrived?"

"Yes, I’m at the substation entrance. Should I go in?"

"Wait a moment. Mayor Han and the County Chief will be there shortly."

"Um, Director Liu, may I ask what the problem is with Mr. Wang?"

Director Liu was silent for a few seconds on the other end, clearly reluctant to speak.

Eventually, Director Liu, braving embarrassment, responded, "Caught soliciting prostitution."

After a pause, Liu added, "At a hair salon in the development zone... soliciting prostitution?"

Soliciting prostitution?

And at a hair salon?

Cheng Yuan frowned deeply.

This didn’t make sense!

Even if Mr. Wang was indeed soliciting, he wouldn’t go to a streetside hair salon, right?

Even he wouldn’t frequent a hair salon; at the very least, he’d go to Red Romance.

A billionaire businessman like Mr. Wang should be opting for high-end clubs, shouldn’t he?

About half an hour later, several leaders from the substation came out in a line, standing respectfully as if waiting for some dignitary’s inspection.

Soon, a police car with a 0001 license plate slowly approached and stopped at the substation entrance.

Cheng Yuan immediately perked up because the vehicle belonged to Han Jianpeng, the Deputy Mayor and Public Security Bureau Chief of Qin Island.

Director Fan Kang from the Development Zone Substation swiftly approached with eager attentiveness and opened the car door behind the driver’s seat.

Cheng Yuan, with keen eyes, noticed Shen Manwen sitting beside Han Jianpeng and hurriedly went forward to courteously open the door for Shen Manwen.

"County Chief."

Shen Manwen nodded at Cheng Yuan, then introduced him, "Mayor Han, this is the Deputy Director of the Ji County Government Office, Cheng Yuan."

Cheng Yuan promptly bowed and greeted, "Hello, Mayor Han."

Mayor Han looked at Cheng Yuan intently. He had heard of Cheng Yuan several times recently.

A seemingly insignificant character who had turned Ji County upside down, wielding power like flipping clouds and rain!

He had made Shen Manwen rise from a hopeless situation to become the County Chief!

"Xiao Cheng, you’ve done quite well, keep it up."

Cheng Yuan bowed again.

"Thank you for your praise, Mayor Han."

Mayor Han turned to Fan Kang, giving a very unkind instruction, "Fan Kang, arrange immediately for County Chief Man Wen to meet with Mr. Wang."

"Yes, Commissioner Han."

To express obedience and closeness, Fan Kang addressed him as Commissioner Han, rather than Mayor Han.

Cheng Yuan and Shen Manwen instantly realized the difficulty of the situation.

Their pupils shrank slightly; this matter wasn’t going to be easy!

Under Fan Kang’s lead, Shen Manwen, Cheng Yuan, and Liu Xi entered Wang Mancheng’s detention room.

Normally, an ordinary person would be held in a standard 8-person room with bunk beds.

However, Wang Mancheng, being a well-known entrepreneur and ironically carrying the title of representative to the East Mountain People’s Assembly, was confined in a single standard room.

At least he wasn’t mistreated in terms of living conditions.

At that moment, two investigators were questioning him.

But Wang Mancheng, evidently disheartened, sat in his chair, lips tightly pursed, remaining silent.

It was only when he saw Shen Manwen that a trace of excitement flashed across Wang Mancheng’s face!

With a start, Wang Mancheng stood up, instinctively wanting to say something.

However, seeing Fan Kang next to him, Wang Mancheng immediately shut his mouth, his eyes flickering with undisguised hatred!

Cheng Yuan immediately grasped something; it seemed his judgment was right, this prostitution scandal was not simple at all!
