The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 386 - 0: Birthday Gift

Shen Manwen didn’t want to crush Cheng Yuan, but, she had no choice but to crush him.

"Cheng Yuan, things aren’t as simple as you imagine. They’re making such a fuss; their goal definitely isn’t just to bring down Yang Lei! Their target must be you!"

Cheng Yuan wasn’t the least bit panicked.

"County Chief, I haven’t bought any luxury goods or counterfeit luxury goods recently, they can’t pin anything on me."

Shen Manwen reminded him, "Indeed, they can’t do anything to you, but what about the people close to you? Your parents, your sister?"

Cheng Yuan’s heart shuddered.

The opponent was so unscrupulous, the County Chief’s concerns were not unreasonable!

Cheng Yuan quickly dialed his mother Wu Xiuli’s phone.

The call was answered swiftly, and Wu Xiuli’s joyful voice came through.

"Ayuan, have you become less busy recently? Mom hasn’t seen you for over a month now, and you haven’t thought to visit home."

"Mom, I’m in charge of the Weidong River project right now, I really can’t find the time at the moment, but as soon as the project is over, I’ll definitely come home to see you."

"Alright, just be sure to do a good job on the project! I’ve heard that the Weidong River has drowned dozens of people over the years."

"Mom, you just relax! I absolutely won’t let such tragedies happen again!"

"So why are you calling me, is it because you’re short on money? Should I send you some tomorrow?"

"Mom, I’m not short of money! Didn’t I mention before? I’m the person the County Chief trusts the most, and many people want to give me gifts. They can’t get through to me, and I’m worried they may try to approach you."

"Actually, several leaders have come to our house, but for the sake of your future, your dad and I have resolutely refused; we haven’t accepted anyone’s gifts."

Cheng Yuan breathed a little easier, "Then I’m relieved."

After making a bit more small talk, Cheng Yuan hung up the phone with Wu Xiuli and then called his sister Cheng Qianqian.

The call was answered instantly, and Cheng Qianqian’s voice came through like the chime of a wind bell.

"Brother, why’d you suddenly remember to call me? My birthday has long passed! I have to scold you!"

Cheng Yuan felt a bit guilty; he had been so busy dealing with his close female friends recently that he’d forgotten his sister’s birthday!

"Qianqian, brother has been very busy lately, don’t worry, I will definitely make up for your birthday gift."

"Then thanks a lot, bro! But what’s the occasion for calling me so late, do you need something from me?"

"Qianqian, have you received any gifts from others recently?"

"Brother, don’t worry, am I that kind of imprudent person? You have warned me already! I haven’t taken anyone’s gifts."

Cheng Yuan breathed a little easier again.

But what Cheng Qianqian said next made his recently settled heart leap again!

"Oh right, my best friend gave me a handicraft bracelet as a birthday gift, that should be fine, right?"

"Which best friend? Are you sure it’s just a handicraft?"

"It’s Cao Shanshan! You know her. I originally didn’t want to accept it, but Cao Shanshan showed me the shopping receipt, it only cost thirty yuan, so I took it."

Cheng Yuan’s head buzzed!

These people were really too despicable!

"Qianqian, no matter whether that bracelet is a handicraft or not, right now, immediately, return the bracelet to Cao Shanshan!"

"Huh? What’s wrong?"

Before Cheng Yuan could explain, a loud knocking sound suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

Cheng Qianqian sounded frightened.

"Who’s there? I’m already in bed, can we talk tomorrow?"

"Cheng Qianqian, I’m from the first investigation division of the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee, you’re suspected of corruption and bribery! Please open the door now and come with us!"

Cheng Yuan’s head exploded with a buzz!

The County Chief had indeed anticipated it!

These people really had targeted his family!

Too despicable!

Unforgivable!

Cheng Qianqian was terrified, her voice quivering with sobs.

"Brother, did I do something wrong? What should I do? Should I open the door?"

"Qianqian, don’t panic, with me here, no one can slander you! Remember one thing, you must insist that the bracelet is a handicraft! You don’t know the value of that bracelet!"

"Okay brother, I’m hanging up now..."

Cheng Qianqian ended the call, and the atmosphere in the car turned incredibly somber.

"County Chief, you really called it, my sister received a handicraft bracelet as a birthday gift. Could you trouble Director Chen to check up on this Cao Shanshan for me?"

"Alright."

Soon, Shen Manwen received feedback.

"According to Dasheng’s investigation, Cao Shanshan and Zhu Haitao are in a sponsored relationship."

"Immediately have Director Chen take Cao Shanshan into custody!"

"Alright."

Suddenly Chen Dasheng made a call.

"County Chief, I’m sorry, Cao Shanshan has already been taken into custody by the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee! To request her release from the Disciplinary Committee, you’ll need to alert them first."

Shen Manwen furrowed her brows deeply. The opponent’s preparations were so well done that even a forceful demand for her release would be futile and might even be criticized.

"Arrange for a few people to wait outside the Disciplinary Committee, and take Cao Shanshan into custody as soon as she appears."

"Yes."

Soon, they arrived at the watch repair shop.

Jin Zhanpeng and his group had been waiting for a while.

Jin Pengfei was in a good mood, stepping forward leisurely with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes as he looked at Cheng Yuan.

"Director Cheng, you sure took your time, didn’t you? I’m sorry, but no matter how much you try to delay, it’s useless! Tonight! Both of you will have a wonderful night at Jinmao Hotel!"
