The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 419 - 0: Two Approaches

Li Qianmo couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly.

"That’s right, Ayuan, you know me well. The more my dad scolds me and tries to stop me, the more interested I become."

"I’ve uncovered a bit of the truth hidden beneath the ice, or rather, what the other side intentionally let me find out."

"Gao Jianjia, Chairman of Mingyue Group, often visits Elder Wu in the Capital! Elder Wu is extremely fond of her, almost as if she were his granddaughter."

"Are you sure you want to investigate Mingyue Group?"

Elder Wu?

Cheng Yuan’s expression changed drastically!

This was an elder statesman with the power to nominate ministers! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

One of the few remaining sparks from the first generation of marshals that Brother Long had!

The backer behind Secretary Gao turned out to be Elder Wu!

Cheng Yuan had no idea how Secretary Gao managed to climb up to this great mountain, Elder Wu!

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth.

"Investigate! We must investigate! Do you have any connections on your side?"

"Do you want to take the official route, or some other routes?"

"Let’s hear both."

"My family has some friends with significant clout in the business world. We can take you in under the guise of discussing a partnership with Mingyue Group."

"The other routes would require a dark and windy night."

"I need both, just in case."

"Ok, I’ll send you the contact info soon, and I’ll give them a heads up for you."

"If it’s convenient, use my name, if not, just say I’m Jin Pengfei."

"Alright."

Soon, Cheng Yuan received two contact details.

One was introduced in great detail.

Pan Jian’an, Chairman of Little Orange Car, a leader in Dragon Country’s electric car market ranked in the top five.

The other one had no introduction at all.

Just a phone number followed by a name—Xie Jingshuai.

Cheng Yuan decided to contact Xie Jingshuai first.

The phone rang five times before being answered, and a somewhat somber voice came through.

"Who is this?"

"I’m looking for Xie Jingshuai."

"Who are you?"

"I’m Jin Pengfei, a friend of Reporter Li."

Xie Jingshuai’s voice noticeably became softer.

"Ah, Mr. Jin, Reporter Li has already informed me. Let’s get the unpleasant things out of the way first, my time is very expensive, and I charge by the hour."

Cheng Yuan laughed.

"Mr. Xie, if you were cheap, I wouldn’t dare to hire you! How much per hour?"

"Five hundred an hour."

"Alright, send me your card number, I’ll transfer you some deposit."

Soon, Xie Jingshuai sent over an account number.

Cheng Yuan didn’t use his own account to send money to Xie Jingshuai. Instead, he transferred fifty thousand yuan to Qin Shu.

"Xiao Shu, find a secure account and transfer it to this account."

"Ok."

Qin Shu quickly completed the transfer.

Xie Jingshuai was very satisfied with Cheng Yuan’s efficiency.

"Mr. Jin, I like clients who are as decisive as you! I’ve made a friend today! I’ll give you a discount, ten thousand a day. With these fifty thousand yuan, I’ll take care of your affairs for five days."

Cheng Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Deal!"

"In these five days, I require you to follow Chairman Gao Jianjia of Mingyue Group 24 hours a day. No matter who she meets or where she goes, report to me immediately!"

"If there are further actions to take, I will notify you."

"Understood."

...

On Qin Island, headquarters of Emperor Group.

Qin Shu’s expression was serious as she looked at Wen Zihua, "Zihua, are you not listening to my orders? I asked you to go to the provincial city to secretly protect Ayuan, why haven’t you left yet?"

Wen Zihua looked at Qin Shu steadily.

"Sis, I owe my life to Dad, and now that Dad is gone, my life belongs only to you!"

Qin Shu was trembling with anger, but she had no way to deal with the stubborn Wen Zihua!

"If anything happens to Ayuan, I won’t want to live either!"

Finally, Wen Zihua began to panic and hesitated for a while before speaking in a deep voice, "Sis, how about this: a few of my teammates from the Middle East battlefield have returned to the country. How about I have them secretly protect your husband?"

Qin Shu’s eyes lit up.

"Are your teammates trustworthy? How do they compare to your skill level?"

Wen Zihua’s tone was very confident.

"These teammates of mine are brothers whom we would entrust our lives to each other!"

"The weakest among them has eighty percent of my skill."

"The strongest is the Strategist, who is slightly better than me. It’s just that the Strategist is proud by nature and doesn’t like being subordinate to anyone."

"However, the strength of the other brothers is more than enough to protect your husband."

"Good, contact them immediately, money is no object! I can provide it."

"Ok, Sis."

...

Cheng Yuan did not yet know that Qin Shu had arranged several very awesome bodyguards for him. At this moment, he had already arrived in the provincial city.

He went straight for the address Li Qianmo had given him—Sofitel Hotel in South City.

Cheng Yuan parked his car and made the call. The phone was quickly answered with a steady voice.

"Hello, I am Pan Jian’an."

"President Pan, hello, I am Cheng Yuan, Qianmo’s friend."

Pan Jian’an’s voice immediately became more enthusiastic.

"A friend of Reporter Li is a friend of mine. Whatever you need on your side, I will definitely help you to the best of my abilities."

"President Pan, I’ve heard that you have business dealings with Mingyue Group. I’m very curious about them, and I wish to join you to broaden my horizons."

Pan Jian’an clearly understood that Cheng Yuan’s intentions were not as simple as wanting to broaden his horizons, but he still agreed readily.

"Tonight at eight, I’m going to Mingyue Villa for a meeting with President Gao. Please, Mr. Cheng, come over by 7:30."
