The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 336 - 0: I Had No Choice
Gao Qiu was very angry and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Jin Zhanpeng’s head was buzzing, and he had no idea what was happening.
He had clearly instructed his son not to act rashly recently; what had he done now?
Frantically, Jin Zhanpeng tried calling his son, only to be infuriated further by the fact that Jin Pengfei’s phone was turned off!
After several attempts, he finally learned that his son had been detained at the Zhengyang Road Police Station in Yang County!
And it was an order given by Liu Qishan himself!
Jin Zhanpeng was furious!
Was Liu Qishan trying to rebel?
Jin Zhanpeng called Liu Qishan, who answered immediately, with a very polite tone.
"Secretary Jin, do you have any instructions for me?"
"How dare I give you instructions, County Magistrate Liu? You’ve taken my son into custody; what’s next, putting me, the deputy Party secretary, in jail too?"
Liu Qishan explained patiently.
"Secretary Jin, this is a long story and it’s urgent."
"The young master detained Minister Li’s daughter at the police station, and Minister Li exploded in a rage."
"As a mere deputy county magistrate, I couldn’t withstand the wrath of a provincial standing committee member. I had to detain the young master temporarily to appease Minister Li’s anger."
Minister Li from the provincial committee?
Jin Zhanpeng’s head buzzed even more fiercely!
As a direct student of Gao Qiu, he was well aware of the provincial situation.
Minister Li was the target both the governor and his teacher were working to win over.
Whoever could win over Minister Li would gain the upper hand in the fight for the Party secretary position!
Even if the success of claiming the Party secretary position met unexpected disturbances, they could still stand up to the new secretary in future standing committee meetings.
And now, his son had offended Minister Li!
Wasn’t that equivalent to his teacher offending Minister Li?
The fault was too great!
"Why did this reckless fool take Minister Li’s daughter to the police station?"
"Your Regent King from Ji County was following Miss Li."
It was Cheng Yuan, that bastard again!
Jin Zhanpeng itched with frustration!
He now deeply regretted having ever agreed to let Cheng Yuan take charge of the Weidong River project, which seamlessly connected him with Shen Manwen!
If Cheng Yuan had been strictly confined by Ma Guorong in Lingshan Town, would any of this mess have occurred?
"Has the issue been resolved? How long do you intend to detain Pengfei?"
"Miss Li is still conducting interviews in Yang County. If Secretary Jin isn’t worried about her suddenly turning the tables, I can release Pengfei right now."
"What turnaround? Do you think a young lady from the provincial capital has that much free time? I bet Miss Li has already forgotten what Pengfei looks like! Release him immediately! I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!"
"Okay!"
Although Liu Qishan said he detained Jin Pengfei, he didn’t place him with the other suspects.
Instead, he found him a private room.
It had a TV and fruit.
Liu Qishan personally escorted Jin Pengfei out of the Zhengyang Road Police Station.
"Pengfei, about today’s incident, your uncle was really helpless. Please explain to Secretary Jin for me."
Jin Pengfei, looking puzzled, asked, "Uncle Liu, what’s so special about Li Qianmo that you are so afraid?"
"You better go home and ask Secretary Jin."
"Okay."
Upon returning to Ji County, Jin Pengfei headed straight for his dad’s office.
Before he could even speak, he was met with a slap that left his face swollen!
"You reckless fool! Didn’t I tell you not to act rashly recently? Who allowed you to take such action, especially detaining Minister Li’s daughter at the police station?"
Jin Pengfei, clutching his face, asked in confusion, "Which Minister Li?"
Jin Zhanpeng looked at his son with a gaze full of disappointment.
"Which Minister Li? The provincial standing committee member and Minister of Propaganda—Li Mingxu!"
Jin Pengfei immediately wilted; he had provoked the daughter of a vice-ministerial level heavyweight?
No wonder Liu Qishan was so terrified.
"Dad, I’m sure it was Cheng Yuan setting me up!"
"Do you have evidence?"
"He deliberately brought Minister Li’s daughter here! Plus, he intentionally spoke loudly next to me to draw my attention!"
Jin Zhanpeng rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Even if he was setting you up, it’s because you are naive that you fell for it!"
"How could I have raised such a thoughtless fool? If you had half the cunning of Cheng Yuan, I would be much more relieved!"
"Dad, Cheng Yuan has repeatedly sabotaged our good fortune, and he set me up like this; we definitely can’t let him get away with it!"
"Whether we deal with Cheng Yuan and how we deal with him is not for you to worry about. Get out of the way and don’t interfere with me reporting to the teacher."
Jin Zhanpeng gave his son a look of deep disappointment and then grabbed his phone to call Gao Qiu.
It took five rings before the call was answered—an extremely unusual delay!
Clearly, Gao Qiu was very angry.
Jin Zhanpeng promptly apologized.
"Teacher, I’ve found out that Pengfei fell for Cheng Yuan’s trap and inadvertently detained Minister Li’s daughter at the Zhengyang Road Police Station."
"Don’t worry, teacher. From now on, I will keep Pengfei under control. He won’t cause any more trouble or pursue Cheng Yuan any further!"
Gao Qiu’s voice was very ominous.
"What applied then doesn’t apply now. Now that Li Mingxu has clearly sided with Lin Jiangnan, we must secure our allies with a resounding victory, or our lineage might disintegrate!"
"What does the teacher suggest?"
"Take down Cheng Yuan!"
