The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 391 - 0: I will definitely get justice for you!
Shen Manwen’s eyes lit up; she hadn’t expected Chief Yu to be the one who came. An old acquaintance made things easier!
Shen Manwen did not bother with niceties and issued an order directly.
"Chief Yu! Director Cheng has been wronged. Someone wants to take him to the designated hotel of the Disciplinary Committee to force a confession. I command you to ensure Director Cheng’s safety at all costs! If anyone dares to harm Director Cheng, you have my permission to shoot them on the spot!"
"Yes, ma’am!"
Yu Tianlong took the order, and his soldiers positioned themselves in front of Cheng Yuan, their guns aimed at the North City District officials!
Luan Chao was overwhelmed; he had a bigger headache now!
His side’s police only had three service pistols compared to the more than a dozen assault rifles on the other side; the disparity in combat power was too great!
Luan Chao could only look helplessly at Jin Zhanpeng.
"Secretary Jin, what should we do about this situation?"
Facing the military, Jin Zhanpeng also had no good idea other than to invoke the name of the party secretary of the city.
"Chief Yu, I am Jin Zhanpeng, Deputy Party Secretary of Ji County. I am here under the orders of Secretary Zhang from the municipal party committee to arrest Cheng Yuan, this corrupt official! Please, do not interfere with our local governance."
Yu Tianlong did not give him any face, and retorted directly.
"The battalion commander’s orders to me are to unconditionally cooperate with the County Chief’s actions. If you have an objection, you may ask Secretary Zhang to communicate with our battalion commander."
Jin Zhanpeng could not communicate with Yu Tianlong, so he turned to look at Shen Manwen.
"County Chief, in order to protect Cheng Yuan, a corrupt official, you’ve even sought the help of the military! You are disrespecting the authority of Secretary Weidong! Don’t tell me you dare not call Secretary Weidong, do you?"
Shen Manwen replied coldly, "Comrade Zhanpeng, don’t act as if your word is the law! Stop mentioning Secretary Weidong at every turn!"
"You’re not Secretary Weidong! You don’t represent Secretary Weidong!"
"What Secretary Weidong said was for you to thoroughly investigate the Weidong River project corruption case, not to arrest people arbitrarily!"
"If Secretary Weidong knew about your reckless actions and how you are tarnishing his reputation, I’m sure he’d be displeased too!"
Jin Zhanpeng was somewhat at a loss for words; he indeed had been overstepping his authority a bit, twisting Secretary Zhang Weidong’s orders.
If he were to clash with Shen Manwen, it’s not certain that Zhang Weidong would side with him.
Jin Zhanpeng snorted coldly, "County Chief, even if you can protect Cheng Yuan temporarily, can you protect him forever?"
Shen Manwen got a bit carried away and said in a deep voice, "I..."
Cheng Yuan quickly stopped her, interrupting her words.
"Secretary Zhanpeng, you are mistaken. The County Chief is the parental official of Ji County; she is protecting not just me but all the citizens of Ji County! Even you, Secretary Zhanpeng, are under the County Chief’s protection."
Shen Manwen’s pupils contracted sharply; she almost fell for Jin Zhanpeng’s trick!
If she had indeed said those words earlier and they reached the ears of superior leaders, her image would have been completely ruined!
Who would want to promote a woman subordinate lost in love?
Jin Zhanpeng looked at Cheng Yuan with a complicated expression; he was indeed a sly fox, impeccable in all his actions!
Far better by more than a notch than his own elder son!
"Cheng Yuan, you really have a sharp tongue."
"But don’t get too pleased with yourself!
"We will soon have the exact evidence of your embezzlement and bribery, and then we will see if Shen Manwen still dares to protect you so openly!"
Cheng Yuan was done pretending with Jin Zhanpeng.
"Secretary Zhanpeng, then let’s see who is more capable!"
Having said that, Cheng Yuan turned to the North City District police officials and shouted, "Release Coach Wang now!"
The two auxiliary police officers holding Wang Zhe instinctively looked at Luan Chao.
Luan Chao did not want to confront his junior, and Cheng Yuan gave him a good excuse.
Luan Chao squeezed out a helpless smile toward Jin Zhanpeng, then waved his hand.
"Didn’t you hear Director Cheng? Release Wang Zhe immediately!"
Only then did the two auxiliary police let Wang Zhe go.
Wang Zhe approached Cheng Yuan, hanging his head in shame.
"Director Cheng, it’s my incompetence that has caused you distress."
Cheng Yuan quickly interrupted him.
"Coach Wang, you’ve done well! Get your team to tend to their injuries!"
"Yes, Director Cheng."
Wang Zhe led his team away, and Cheng Yuan walked up to the car of the County Disciplinary Inspection Committee.
Yang Lei quickly rolled down the window.
Cheng Yuan, unconcerned whether the Disciplinary Committee staff inside were happy or not, said sternly, "Young Yang, don’t worry, the innocent are clear of heart; I will surely see justice done for you!"
Yang Lei replied loudly, "Please rest assured, Director Cheng! I come from a rural family; I might not have much, but I’ve got a spine of steel! No matter what torture I face, I will never give in!"
Jin Zhanpeng stepped forward and said sternly, "Yang Lei, what are you talking about? It’s bright and early, where is this torture coming from? The comrades from the Disciplinary Committee will interrogate you strictly according to procedure!"
Cheng Yuan turned and asked, "County Chief, if there are no other issues, shall I accompany you back to Ji County?"
Shen Manwen gently shook her head.
"With such a major issue in the Weidong River project, I must stay here! Until every safety hazard in the Weidong River project has been addressed!"
Cheng Yuan looked at Shen Manwen deeply, impressed by the County Chief’s vision!
His first reaction was to smooth things over.
Meanwhile, the County Chief’s first reaction was to address the project’s safety hazards!
Escorted by the soldiers, the two of them got into a Magotan, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
"Sister, where do you plan to rest? Going to Lingfeng? It’s the only decent hotel in Lingshan Town."
Shen Manwen glanced at Cheng Yuan irritably.
"Go to a hotel? Don’t you have a rented place? Take me there to rest."
