The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 228 - 0: Black Widow

Wang Mancheng spoke irritably, "Isn’t that obvious? If what you said is true and I got both my inner desires and my public image satisfied, why would I skulk away from Ji County?"

He paused for a moment, then changed his tone.

"The party secretary is a provincial-level official. Can you influence the power play of the big shots in the province?"

"Also, the entire legal and political system of Hundong is now in the grasp of Gao Qiu. How can you possibly restore my reputation?"

"Lastly, with these low and despicable tactics, even Manwen fell for them; do you really think you can predict them?"

Shen Manwen and Liu Xi also looked at Cheng Yuan with puzzled expressions, wondering where his confidence came from.

Cheng Yuan smiled slightly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Mr. Wang, if we were to play a passive defense, we definitely couldn’t prevent everything."

"But what if we go on the offensive? What if we make the other side too busy to care?"

"Please give me three days, Mr. Wang. If there is no good news within three days, I will personally take you to the airport!"

Cheng Yuan didn’t explain what he planned to do, but his demeanor and tone were overly confident.

Some belief sprouted in Wang Mancheng, and he said in a serious tone, "Fine, I’ll wait another three days!"

As they spoke, the group returned to Ji County and to the entrance of Mancheng Mining Company.

Wang Mancheng bid farewell to the three of them.

The moment Wang Mancheng got out of the car, the atmosphere inside the vehicle instantly changed.

In a ’complimentary’ tone, Shen Manwen said, "Director Cheng, your life is really colorful! Brothels and courtesans, and you even found a campus belle?"

With a snort, Liu Xi couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Cheng Yuan, breaking out in a cold sweat, hurriedly explained, "County Chief Manwen, that’s not my life, that’s Mr. Wang’s life. I said those things only to relate to Mr. Wang! With my salary, if I partied frequently, how could I afford a Passat?"

Shen Manwen was somewhat a clean freak. If Cheng Yuan frequented brothels and courtesans, such a man was better off avoided.

She wouldn’t want to catch any dirty diseases.

However, she was persuaded by Cheng Yuan’s explanation and felt that it made sense, so she did not dwell on the issue any further.

"Since you have promised Mr. Wang, you shall do your utmost. I’ll give you three days off to focus on this. If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know."

"Thank you, County Chief."

Shen Manwen and Liu Xi got out of the car, and Cheng Yuan headed straight to the City Gate Police Station.

On the way, Cheng Yuan made a call.

"A Yuan, what do you need?"

"Brother Yang, I need your help with something."

"Speak."

"I need you to introduce me to Qin Shu."

At the other end of the line, Xue Yang was having tea and almost spat it out at the mention of Qin Shu’s name!

"A Yuan, you can ask me to introduce anyone, just not Qin Shu..."

"Why not?"

"Qin Shu is too wicked. Not a single man who got involved with her ended well. The streets have given her the nickname ’Black Widow’! If you want a woman, I can find you a college student!"

Cheng Yuan said with annoyance, "Brother Yang, is that really how you view me?"

Of course!

The smell in my car is always that kind of...

"No, no, I know exactly what kind of person you are, A Yuan. I’m just advising you to stay away from Qin Shu to avoid bad luck."

"Brother Yang, I have official business with Qin Shu; it’s for the County Chief and it concerns both our futures."

"Ah? What’s going on?"

"It’s like this..."

Cheng Yuan recounted the situation involving Wang Mancheng in detail.

Xue Yang fell silent for a while.

"It’s right to go to Qin Shu for this. She’s the number one big sister of Qin Island’s underground, and she can easily find the woman who framed Mr. Wang and also has countless ways to make them change their testimony."

"So will you make the introduction or not? If you won’t, I’ll go to her myself."

Xue Yang said with a bitter smile, "A Yuan, don’t be hasty. Will I not make the introduction for you? However, after so many years, I don’t know if she still remembers the goodwill from the past."

"You are Qin Shu’s disciple; she should give you some face, right?"

"It’s hard to say, I’ll do my best. After her husband died, her temperament changed dramatically..."

"What exactly happened to her husband back then?"

"I was just a graduating intern at that time; how could I have access to such high-level information? You should ask the County Chief or Director Zhang; maybe you can find out something."

"Okay, I’ll hang up now. I’ll be at the City Gate Police Station in five minutes."

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone and called Zhang Gao.

The phone rang four times before it was answered. Zhang Gao’s relatively mild voice came through, "Xiao Cheng, why are you calling me? Has Manwen run into trouble again?"

"To report to Director Zhang, it’s not the County Chief who’s in trouble, it’s the investment promoter brought by the County Chief..."

Cheng Yuan gave a brief report on the situation, then asked, "Director Zhang, could you check how Qin Shu’s husband died?"

"That matter? I’ve heard of it."

"It was five years ago. A young master from Beijing was visiting Ji County and got into a conflict with local thugs over jealousy, resulting in him being stabbed seven times to death!"

"The young master’s relatives were furious, and it triggered a campaign to crack down on gangs and eradicate evil! Ji County made an example out of it."

"To appease the wrath of the big shots from Beijing, Ji County ’voted’ for a scapegoat."

"And Xiong Fei, Qin Shu’s husband, was that unfortunate man."
