432: Chapter 432 Mayor Liu was arrested on the spot.

The song came to an end.

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, it was finally over. This General Manager Tang Yuqiao was simply a temptress.

The banquet began at seven in the evening and lasted until after ten.

Many people stayed at this hotel. Dongjiang City had prepared many rooms here for the guests.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao also checked into her room.

She took a hot bath, her face slightly flushed, likely due to having drunk quite a bit of wine.

She was still thinking about how to make Qin Chuan her "guest behind the curtain."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

There was a knock at the door. General Manager Tang Yuqiao thought to herself, "Damn it, who is it? It's already past 11:40."

Although she felt a bit annoyed, she still opened the door. When she saw the person outside, she was slightly stunned; it was actually Mayor Liu.

"Mayor Liu, what are you doing here?"

Mayor Liu had drunk a lot. Reeking of alcohol, he felt even more heated upon seeing General Manager Tang Yuqiao in her pajamas.

"General Manager Tang, I have something to discuss with you. Let me in first."

Although it was already past 11:00 PM and there was no one in the hallway, it would be bad if someone happened to see this.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao nodded, let Mayor Liu into her room, and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, Mayor Liu could no longer restrain himself.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao frowned slightly. She was unwilling, but she knew she couldn't offend Mayor Liu. She had to give him what he wanted. She gently pushed him and said, "Mayor Liu, you smell so strongly of alcohol. Go take a shower first. Be good, I'll wait for you."

Although she was somewhat reluctant, she knew that refusing would only anger Mayor Liu.

She had slept with many men; one more like Mayor Liu didn't matter. Her only regret was that the Mayor's looks were quite lacking. If it were Secretary Qin, she would be more than willing.

While Mayor Liu was showering, General Manager Tang Yuqiao made some preparations, such as setting up a pinhole camera device she had prepared long ago.

This was originally intended for Qin Chuan. She had planned to record the scene when she eventually slept with him to use as blackmail. She hadn't expected to use it on Mayor Liu instead.

Besides that, she poured a glass of water and dropped a small blue pill into it.

Whether it was because he had drunk too much or because he was thinking with his lower half, Mayor Liu didn't suspect a thing. He finished his shower in a few minutes and then excitedly embraced General Manager Tang Yuqiao.

"General Manager Tang, what a beauty."

General Manager Tang Yuqiao played coy, using her feminine charms to the fullest. How could Mayor Liu possibly resist?

Only...

With a loud "bang," the door was kicked open. Several police officers rushed in, carrying body-worn cameras.

"Don't move!"

Mayor Liu's hands were twisted behind his back by two officers, and he was pinned firmly to the bed.

The sudden situation made General Manager Tang Yuqiao's face turn slightly pale. Unlike other women, she didn't scream; she just pulled the quilt over to cover her naked body and watched the police officers who had stormed in.

Her mind went a bit blank.

How could these police officers burst in? The entire hotel had been booked by Dongjiang City to host guests for the Tourism and Culture Festival.

Mayor Liu was also startled at first. Once he regained his senses, he thought, "Right, I'm the mayor, what am I afraid of?" He shouted sternly, putting on his mayoral air.

"Who are you people? Which branch are you from? Who is the officer in charge!"

The police officers who rushed in were also stunned. Some had already recognized the man they caught as Mayor Liu. This was something none of them had expected.

They had received orders that someone was engaging in illicit activities in Room 1605. They were here for a prostitution raid and hadn't expected to arrest Mayor Liu.

"Mayor Liu, we're sorry! We're so sorry!"

The lead officer apologized repeatedly and then quickly withdrew the squad. They left so fast that Mayor Liu didn't even have time to say anything.

For instance, warning them not to leak today's events, asking if the body cameras were on, or if the scene just now had been recorded.

It must have been the alcohol slowing down his reactions.

If he hadn't drunk so much, Mayor Liu wouldn't have let his urges get the better of him and come to General Manager Tang Yuqiao's place in the middle of the night.

After a long while, he finally snapped out of it.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao was the first to ask, "Mayor Liu, what should we do? Will there be trouble?"

By this time, Mayor Liu had sobered up quite a bit. As he put on his clothes, he said, "It's fine. I'll handle it."

After getting dressed, he left quietly and hurried to deal with the situation—for example, issuing a gag order and deleting the footage from the body cameras.

However, he was overthinking it.

Everything was too late; it was completely irreversible.

Inside the study at Villa No. 1 of the Municipal Party Committee.

Qin Chuan hadn't gone to bed yet; he was waiting for news from Secretary Zhang Dong.

Why were the police so precise in storming General Manager Tang Yuqiao's room and catching Mayor Liu red-handed? It was, of course, Qin Chuan's arrangement.

Early this morning, the system had pushed three messages. One of them informed Qin Chuan that at 11:48 PM tonight, Mayor Liu would enter Room 1605, where General Manager Tang Yuqiao was staying, and the two would engage in a physical battle.

Qin Chuan then instructed Secretary Zhang Dong, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, to send people to catch them in the act.

Secretary Zhang Dong had always been a neutral member of the standing committee, but recently he had shown signs of aligning with Qin Chuan. Since he wanted to align himself, this was a test for him.

A moment later, Secretary Zhang Dong's call came through.

"Secretary Qin, our people caught Mayor Liu red-handed. The body cameras captured the situation clearly. I've sent the video to you; please take a look."

Soon, Qin Chuan received the video. After checking it on his phone, he nodded with satisfaction. The video was very clear; Comrade Zhang Dong had done well.

Mayor Liu didn't know that this time, Secretary Zhang Dong was no longer a neutral member but was firmly standing on Qin Chuan's side.

Mayor Liu went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau that night to find his confidants, deleted the body camera footage, and issued a gag order to the officers involved, using both warnings and threats.

He thought he was safe, but he had no idea that Secretary Zhang Dong was behind it. The video had already been backed up and sent to Qin Chuan's phone.

Since he was disobedient, acting one way to his face and another behind his back, and even had the audacity to try and use General Manager Tang Yuqiao's beauty to seduce him, then he shouldn't be the mayor anymore. It was time for a replacement.

That was why Qin Chuan made tonight's arrangements. Early the next morning, he called Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng and gave him a report.
