The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 387 - 0: This is a Genuine Swiss Watch

Cheng Yuan was too lazy to argue with Jin Pengfei and said indifferently, "If you want to place us under shuanggui, present the evidence; otherwise, stop talking such nonsense!"

"You want evidence? Fine! I’ll give you evidence right away!"

As he spoke, Jin Pengfei was about to knock on the door.

Jin Zhanpeng stopped his son and pretentiously asked Shen Manwen for instructions.

"County Chief, may we knock on the door now?"

Shen Manwen nodded indifferently.

Only then did Jin Zhanpeng signal for Jin Pengfei to knock on the door to ensure there were no procedural faults for Shen Manwen to pick on.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jin Pengfei knocked on the door forcefully.

A somewhat elderly voice came from inside, "Who’s there? We’re closed for the day. Come back tomorrow if you need your watch fixed!"

"I am Jin Pengfei, the director of the first Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of Ji County Disciplinary Inspection Committee. I need your cooperation in investigating some matters. Please open the door immediately."

The person inside was clearly flustered, and the sound of furniture clutter followed.

Footsteps that were a bit hasty and slightly staggering approached quickly.

With a creak, the door of the watch repair shop opened.

An old man wearing high-prescription reading glasses, with an untidy beard and dressed in a ribbed tank top came out trembling.

Seeing so many people at the door, the old man was visibly panicked and at a loss.

Jin Pengfei said gently, "Old man, don’t panic. Just answer whatever the County Chief and Secretary Jin ask you."

County Chief?

Secretary Jin?

The old man became even more frightened, trembling a bit and kept nodding and bowing to the people at the door.

"Greetings, leaders!"

Shen Manwen said sternly, "Old man, I am Shen Manwen, the County Chief of Ji County. I hope you will answer the questions truthfully. Making false accusations against public officials is a crime that can land you in prison."

"Yes, County Chief, I will certainly answer all questions truthfully," the old man said.

Shen Manwen turned to look at Yang Lei.

"Group Leader Yang, could you come over, please?"

Yang Lei took a deep breath, stepped forward with an upright air, and showed his wristwatch to the old man.

"Grandpa Zhang, tell everyone, is this watch the one I bought from you for two hundred yuan?"

Although the night breeze was a bit cool, Grandpa Zhang’s forehead was covered in a fine, cold sweat.

He vaguely felt that he had become entangled in the power struggles of the county’s upper echelons, and quite deeply at that!

But he was just a small shrimp, utterly unable to break free!

The most tragic part was that he couldn’t see which side held the advantage.

Grandpa Zhang had no choice but to nod stiffly.

"Yes, it was bought from me, and it cost two hundred yuan."

With Grandpa Zhang’s cooperation, Yang Lei breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Grandpa Zhang, is this watch a counterfeit?"

Grandpa Zhang took a deep breath and decided to stick to his guns until the end.

"How could it be a counterfeit? Little Yang, didn’t I show you the movement certificate and the serial number? This is a genuine Swiss watch."

Buzz!!

Yang Lei’s mind exploded!

He looked at Grandpa Zhang in utter disbelief.

"Grandpa Zhang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense! When did you ever show me the movement certificate? When did you show me the serial number?"

A flicker of well-hidden remorse passed through Grandpa Zhang’s eyes, but it quickly turned to determination.

His son had been sentenced to over a decade in prison for drunk driving and hitting someone, followed by a hit-and-run that led to the victim’s death.

Not long ago, someone came to him, asking for a favor, implying that his son’s sentence could be reduced. He agreed without a second thought.

Just helping with a gift, right?

How big could it be!

But to his dismay, things escalated to this level!

He had no way back now.

"It was the same day you bought the watch! I gave you the movement certificate! It was in that little plastic bag that held the warranty card."

Yang Lei felt a chill run through his body!

When Grandpa Zhang offered him a five-year warranty card, he was very grateful to him. He never expected that Grandpa Zhang was setting a trap for him!

Jin Pengfei stepped forward, asked in a deep voice, "Yang Lei, where did you put the movement certificate?"

Yang Lei was completely panicked.

"I don’t know about any movement certificate! I really don’t know!"

Jin Pengfei didn’t listen to his explanation and took out his phone to make a call.

"Have you arrived at Yang Lei’s dormitory?"

"Reporting, Director, we have arrived."

"Any progress?"

"No progress so far."

"Immediately search for a small plastic bag containing a warranty card! Inside the warranty card, there might be evidence of Yang Lei’s corruption and bribery—a Patek Philippe movement certificate!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the call came through.

"Director, we’ve found the warranty card! There’s indeed a movement certificate inside!"

"Good! Keep the movement certificate safe! Send a short video over!"

"Yes!"

Jin Pengfei had learned his lesson and didn’t immediately show the video to his father, but presented it to Shen Manwen instead.

"Our staff of the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee has found the movement certificate in Yang Lei’s dormitory; this is the conclusive evidence of Yang Lei’s bribery! County Chief, can we arrest Yang Lei now?"

Shen Manwen’s face was cold as she glanced at the video. She was certain that Yang Lei was doomed.

"Since there’s evidence, proceed as necessary. However, I remind you to be mindful of your methods when handling the case!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"If our County Disciplinary Committee is scandalized again for assaulting a public official, I will definitely investigate thoroughly!"
