The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 478: I Give You One Last Chance

Cheng Yuan was startled, "Qianqian and Yang Lei haven’t been released yet? Hasn’t the Weidong River incident already been settled?"

"I’m not sure about that, I haven’t received any news. Why don’t you ask the County Chief?"

"Alright, I will ask the County Chief. Brother Yang, I’ll have to leave Qianqian in your hands for now, you must make certain Qianqian doesn’t get hurt!"

"Ayuan, I’m in Lingshan, it will take me a while to get there, I’ll have my people try to stall for time, but it’s better if you get the County Chief to think of something!"

"I’ll go there myself!"

"You’re back in Ji County?"

"Um, let’s not talk about it now."

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone and turned to look at Shen Manwen.

"County Magistrate, isn’t the Weidong River project already defined? Why are Qianqian and Yang Lei still detained at the Jinmao Hotel?"

Shen Manwen patiently explained.

"Cheng Yuan, don’t be anxious. Within the system, some procedures are unavoidable."

"This morning, Secretary Gao got in touch with the Qin Island Political and Legal Committee—Secretary Xu, Xu Junxian."

"He asked Secretary Xu to personally investigate the Weidong River project and to clear the names of the people involved."

"After a whole day of thorough investigation today, Secretary Xu has already obtained some critical evidence, and he should be arriving tomorrow morning."

Cheng Yuan furrowed his brows.

"Tomorrow will be too late, could you get Secretary Xu to come over tonight? If it’s inconvenient for Secretary Xu to come in person, having his secretary come over would also suffice."

"Okay, I’ll contact Secretary Xu right now."

"I need to go to the Jinmao Hotel immediately; I’m concerned that Jin Zhanpeng won’t cooperate. Could we arrange for some comrades from the county bureau to accompany me?"

"Of course, I’ll call Dasheng right away."

Shen Manwen immediately took out her mobile phone and called Chen Dasheng. A voice that sounded somewhat intimate came through the phone.

"County Magistrate, calling me so suddenly, what are your instructions?"

"Dasheng, we’re old classmates, don’t be so formal. Call me Manwen after work hours. I need your help to arrange some police force to accompany Director Cheng from the County Government Office to the Jinmao Hotel."

Chen Dasheng had already heard rumors about the Regent King and his tone instantly grew more serious.

"Director Cheng’s matters are my matters; I will go there personally!"

"Good."

Chen Dasheng was absolutely one of her own people, so Shen Manwen didn’t stand on ceremony, and instead turned to call Xu Junxian.

The phone was quickly answered, and Xu Junxian’s cheerful voice came through.

"County Magistrate Manwen, calling me so late, what instructions do you have?"

"Secretary Jun Xian, you’re going to be the death of me! How can you say that? I wouldn’t dare to instruct you! Would you please help me with a small favor?"

"Please tell me, County Magistrate Manwen."

"Secretary Jun Xian, could you send your secretary over to Ji County?"

"Hahaha, County Magistrate Manwen, to be honest, I’m already on my way to Ji County, I’ll be getting off the highway in two minutes."

"That’s wonderful, I’ll be at the Jinmao Hotel awaiting Secretary Jun Xian’s esteemed arrival."

Shen Manwen hung up the phone and excitedly looked at Cheng Yuan: "Secretary Jun Xian is a man of action. Having obtained the key evidence, he didn’t wait and has come to Ji County tonight! It’s only two minutes until he gets off the highway."

The anxiety in Cheng Yuan’s heart finally settled!

"With Secretary Jun Xian as the stabilizer, Jin Zhanpeng definitely won’t dare to pull any tricks!"

Shen Manwen quickly changed into her work attire and followed Cheng Yuan downstairs, heading straight for the Jinmao Hotel.

Jinmao Hotel, Room 608.

Cheng Qianqian was undergoing interrogation.

Normally, Cheng Qianqian wouldn’t qualify to be detained in Room 608, which was reserved for officials at the section-chief level.

However, because of Jin Pengfei’s insistence, Cheng Qianqian was locked in Room 608.

Perhaps it was Jin Pengfei’s perverse taste—as it was the same room where Shen Manwen had previously been detained.

There was another very important reason: Room 608 was a suite with an additional bedroom inside.

Convenient for certain activities.

Cheng Yuan’s sister was so ethereally beautiful that if he could taste her, it would be wonderful.

It had to be said, Jin Pengfei was really ruthless!

He had already deprived Cheng Qianqian of sleep for two nights and two days, employing a ’wear down the eagle’ strategy, and was determined to make Cheng Qianqian confess.

What Jin Pengfei didn’t expect, however, was that Cheng Qianqian, who appeared fragile and delicate, was exceptionally resilient!

No matter how they threatened or tempted her, she refused to buckle under.

Initially, Jin Pengfei, bearing a cat-and-mouse mindset, planned to play with Cheng Qianqian.

But just now, he heard some bad news through certain channels.

It seemed that higher-ups were secretly investigating the bribery allegations against Cheng Qianqian and Yang Lei, and if any loose ends were found, there would be trouble!

He must make Cheng Qianqian confess as soon as possible.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Zhou, you two step out first; I’ll interrogate her alone."

"Yes, Director."

The two left Room 608.

Jin Pengfei dropped his façade, coldly staring at Cheng Qianqian, noting her face that vaguely resembled Cheng Yuan’s.

"Cheng Qianqian, I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t confess, I won’t be so courteous!"

Cheng Qianqian’s voice was somewhat weak, but her tone was unwaveringly firm.

"I have not accepted any bribes; you will not make me falsely accuse my brother!"

With a click, Jin Pengfei turned off the law enforcement recorder and looked at Cheng Qianqian with a sinister smile.

"Cheng Qianqian, I heard you’ve never had a boyfriend before? You must still be a virgin, right? You don’t have to confess, but today I’ll let you experience what a man tastes like!"

Saying this, Jin Pengfei roughly grabbed Cheng Qianqian’s arm and headed toward the inner room of the suite!
