The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 227 - 0: I Want to Withdraw My Investment

Chapter 227: Chapter 0227: I Want to Withdraw My Investment

Shen Manwen gave Fan Kang a cold glance then looked at Wang Mancheng with apologetic eyes.

"Mr. Wang, I’m sorry for the inconvenience."

Wang Mancheng clearly didn’t want to discuss his case in front of so many people, and with a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, "Manwen, can I leave now?"

Manwen?

Cheng Yuan’s pupils slightly constricted, this Mr. Wang and the County Chief have a special relationship!

Could he be his rival in love?

Shen Manwen nodded without hesitation.

"Mr. Wang, I came here specifically to take you away."

Wang Mancheng nodded and stood up expressionlessly.

Beside him, Fan Kang, in a leisurely manner, extended his hand to block Wang Mancheng’s path.

"County Chief Shen, I’m sorry, but Mr. Wang is suspected of soliciting prostitution and also of assault on a police officer. His issue has not been cleared up yet, so he probably can’t leave for the time being."

Shen Manwen’s expression darkened, "What if I insist on taking Mr. Wang away?"

"Sorry."

Shen Manwen, furious, no longer bothered to argue with Fan Kang, and turned to look coldly at Han Jianpeng.

"Mayor Han, as a former criminal investigator, you should be able to spot if there’s something fishy about this case at a glance!"

"Even if the evidence chain is complete, a fake is still a fake!"

"How can we guarantee the Mayor and even the Governor’s grand strategy for comprehensive development if we cannot protect the personal and reputational safety of investors in Qin Island?"

A shock went through Han Jianpeng’s heart!

Honestly, he didn’t want to get involved in these messy affairs at all!

Releasing Mr. Wang or not both wouldn’t win him any favors; he was bound to offend someone either way.

But now, he had to make a choice.

Quickly, Han Jianpeng made up his mind.

The Governor had recently gained a strong upper hand in his power struggle with Secretary Gao, and it was more likely for the Governor to be promoted than the Secretary.

Han Jianpeng turned and rebuked Fan Kang, "Fan Kang, Mr. Wang is a provincial representative! Your Development Zone branch has no jurisdiction over his case! Release him immediately!"

"Yes!"

With just a word from Han Jianpeng, Fan Kang didn’t even dare to fart, not to mention skipping the formalities.

Such was the power of authority!

Cheng Yuan’s pupils flickered slightly, and his blood boiled with ambition!

He had to climb higher!

On the way back to Ji County.

The very first thing Wang Mancheng said made Shen Manwen’s heart sink.

"Manwen, you’ve just become the County Chief of Ji County, and normally, your senior classmate should support you strongly. But as you can see, their methods are too vile! The earlier you leave this business environment, the lesser the loss."

Senior classmate?

Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrow.

No wonder there were rumors that Mr. Wang and the County Chief were involved.

However, Cheng Yuan wasn’t about to believe those rumors, because the person involved with the County Chief was him.

Aware that Wang Mancheng was irritated, Shen Manwen did not try to persuade him, but instead echoed, "They really are too despicable. I’ve experienced it once already, and if it weren’t for Cheng Yuan, I might have already been forced to make a shameful retreat."

Wang Mancheng looked at Shen Manwen with apologetic eyes.

"Manwen, so you won’t blame me for divesting at a time like this, will you?"

Shen Manwen shook her head slightly, her expression stern as she asked, "Senior brother, I don’t believe the police’s investigation of the case, what exactly happened?"

Hatred flickered in Wang Mancheng’s eyes.

"What else could have happened? Wasn’t I looking to buy a lithium mine? I must have been set up by that mine owner!"

"They must be in cahoots! There must have been something added to my drink!"

"With my drinking capacity, it’s impossible to pass out after just three glasses and be at their mercy!"

At the end of his speech, Wang Mancheng’s eyes reddened with rage!

"Damned bastards! If they’d chosen a more upscale venue, or at least some high-class socialites, I wouldn’t be so angry!"

"Fucking hell! They ditched me in a dump of a place!"

Shen Manwen and Liu Xi, being women, found it inappropriate to comment on such matters.

This was also why Shen Manwen insisted on calling Cheng Yuan back from the provincial city.

Cheng Yuan nodded empathetically.

"Mr. Wang, you’re right. A man, having some fun sometimes, doesn’t really count for much."

"To be blunt, a place like a dump, in ancient times, was called a ’hook-shop’! It’s a place for ruffians and scoundrels!"

"With your status, Mr. Wang, you should at least choose a brothel, right? Or maybe pick a campus belle from a nearby university."

"Their actions are truly fucking disgusting!"

Shen Manwen and Liu Xi rolled their eyes. This little rascal (Director Cheng) knows how to play, doesn’t he?

With all this talk of ’hook-shops’ and brothels!

And he wants a campus belle?

Wang Mancheng thought even better of Cheng Yuan.

"They’ve completely destroyed my reputation! I will not let them off! I just hope they never fall into my hands!"

Cheng Yuan spoke gravely, "Mr. Wang, don’t worry, if the County Chief can get out of being placed under shuanggui (a form of internal disciplinary process), this trifle won’t be a problem. The County Chief will definitely investigate this thoroughly to clear your name and restore your honor."

Unfortunately, restoration of his honor was not Wang Mancheng’s main concern.

"Xiao Cheng, it’s not that I don’t trust your capability, but Jin Zhanpeng is Secretary Gao’s student, and Secretary Gao controls the Hundong legal system with a tight grip. Would the legal system listen to you?"

"Moreover, Jin Zhanpeng has been very active in the provincial city recently. Once he becomes the County Party Secretary, I can’t proceed with my project at all."

Shen Manwen fell silent; she had just become the County Chief, and a promotion to Party Secretary so soon would be against the normal procedures.

Jin Zhanpeng had a great chance of becoming the County Party Secretary.

It seemed she couldn’t retain her senior brother.

Just as Shen Manwen felt very downhearted, Cheng Yuan suddenly chuckled.

"Mr. Wang, there’s no need to be so pessimistic."

"If I can guarantee you that Jin Zhanpeng won’t become the County Party Secretary, and I can restore your honor, ensuring your personal and reputational safety, would you be willing to continue staying in Ji County?"
