The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 332: Bowing in Admission of Guilt

Pfft!

Cheng Yuan burst out laughing.

"Director Jin, what if I had my brother set up a couple of streetwalkers to frame you, handcuff you, beat you until you were bleeding from your head, and then tell you it was all a misunderstanding—would you believe that?"

Jin Pengfei was left speechless!

He really didn’t want to apologize to Cheng Yuan!

A pretty boy who climbed the ranks by clinging to women’s coattails!

Why should he?

But the situation was out of his hands; it was stronger than him.

Jin Pengfei could only lower his head and admit his fault.

"I admit that some of my inappropriate remarks have misled Liu Jian, leading to him taking some improper actions that have caused harm to Director Cheng."

"On behalf of Liu Jian, I sincerely apologize to Director Cheng!"

"Please, Director Cheng, don’t be petty with Liu Jian. Better to make more friends than enemies. How about we turn our strife into friendship?"

Cheng Yuan laughed.

This Jin Pengfei!

His skin wasn’t just thick—it was on a whole different level!

He was clearly the mastermind, but had managed to completely wash his hands of it.

If that was the case, let them bite each other like dogs!

Cheng Yuan turned his head, smiling, to look at Liu Qishan.

"Director Liu, you’re the highest-ranking official here. How do you think we should deal with today’s incident?"

Liu Qishan’s eyelids twitched violently!

No wonder there were rumors in Ji County that the ’Regent King’ was a tough character.

Seeing him today, it really was quite crafty of him!

He had easily kicked the ball back into his court!

What made him even more frustrated was that this was indeed within his jurisdiction to deal with—he couldn’t just ignore it!

Going too easy on the situation wouldn’t work either!

Such a headache!

Liu Qishan didn’t want to catch the ball and attempted to kick it back: "Director Cheng, you are the victim here. What do you think should be done?"

Cheng Yuan glanced indifferently at Liu Qishan.

"What I think doesn’t matter. As long as Director Liu follows the policies and procedures, and everything is done by the book, it’s fine."

"Framing a public official, maliciously slandering their reputation, violently assaulting a restrained public official—handle it however it should be handled."

Liu Qishan’s face turned an ashen color!

If they handled it the way Cheng Yuan suggested, losing their jobs would be getting off light—worse, they could be locked up for a couple of years!

How could he explain that to the two Secretary Jins?

The only option for now was to send off the imposing figure of Reporter Liu first!

And then have a proper talk with Director Cheng about ’business.’

Business negotiations, right?

Start the bidding on the spot, and settle the debt there and then.

As long as the final price was within bearable limits, it would be alright!

"Director Cheng, let’s discuss how to handle them later. You’ve been injured, and we need to get you to the hospital immediately!"

Cheng Yuan instantly realized Liu Qishan’s intention and naturally wouldn’t let him get away with it so easily.

"Director Liu, the physical injuries I’ve sustained are nothing compared to the mental trauma. We can tend to the wounds, but first, I need to catch my breath."

Liu Qishan was beyond frustrated, realizing that he needed to show some real intent at this point—or else, he wasn’t getting past this situation today.

With a grave look, Liu Qishan made a declaration: "Director Cheng, rest assured, I will handle all related personnel seriously! Once the results are out, I will inform you immediately!"

Only then did Cheng Yuan nod in satisfaction—his head was actually spinning a bit.

"Okay, then I’ll go get my injuries treated."

But Li Qianmo stepped in front of Cheng Yuan, pointing at the two streetwalkers with a cold voice: "Director Liu, these two attacked Ayuan and framed him for rape! They must be dealt with severely!"

If it were about dealing with Jin Pengfei, Liu Qishan might have hesitated.

But for two streetwalkers, Liu Qishan had no such scruples.

He had worked his way up from the grassroots, and the number of streetwalkers he’d had to deal with was not in the thousands, it was certainly in the high hundreds.

"Officers! Arrest these two criminals immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

The watching police and auxiliary officers finally found their chance to ingratiate themselves with Liu Qishan, charging forward like hungry wolves!

In no time at all, they twisted the women’s arms behind their backs and handcuffed them!

The two women immediately realized the problem.

This senior official was setting them up as scapegoats!

Why should they suffer?

The two women began to shout loudly.

"Injustice! We’re not criminals! We were instructed by Coach Liu..."

Liu Jian was scared stiff, the hairs all over his body standing on end. If they spoke out, everything would be over!

Liu Jian didn’t know where he found the strength, but he charged like a sprinter!

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

He landed a series of fierce slaps on them!

Both women’s mouths were swollen from the blows, blood streaming down their faces!

They were so dazed from the beating that the words they had were swallowed back down!

Liu Jian stared at the two women with a vengeful glare!

These two wretches, weren’t they too clueless?

Why couldn’t they just obediently take the fall for him?

A few days of detention and he would surely find a way to get them out!

Now that they were being so ungrateful, they couldn’t blame him for being ruthless!

"What are you waiting for? Get these suspects to the detention room right away! Interrogate them thoroughly! Their crimes must be brought to light!"

After the two women were taken out of the office, Liu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned with a pleasing look to Li Qianmo.

"Reporter Li, is this handling of the situation okay with you?"

Unfortunately for Liu Jian, his attempt at flattery fell far from the mark.

"The two of them are just pawns for you, the corrupt cop! Maybe I’d be satisfied if you handcuffed yourself and locked yourself in detention."
