Luo Meishan was not impressed by Ding Nengren's attitude. She waved her hand, very calmly, without showing any surprise. She took out the appraisal certificate from the box, pushed it in front of Ding Nengren, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ding, although you are a famous collector of antiques, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You may have made a mistake. How could the snuff bottle I showed you be fake?"

Ding Nengren took the certificate of appraisal and could hardly hide his surprise. He exclaimed, "Is this the copper-based enamel boy snuff bottle that was so popular last year?"

Luo Meishan smiled and nodded. "The certificate was verified by Mr. Tiangeng, a researcher at the Palace Museum and a famous snuff bottle expert. It is a precious antique used by Emperor Kangxi of the Manchu dynasty. The glaze is fine and smooth, the color is pure and beautiful, the composition is generous, and the painting is precise. It is a rare art treasure."

In the antique business, there are real and fake things, but if there is a famous connoisseur to prove it, its value is guaranteed. Luo Meishan took out such a valuable item, what did she want from me

Ding Nengren was not sure about the authenticity of the snuff bottle at first, so he deliberately deceived Luo Meishan.

This rare snuff bottle worth millions is not something you can get easily!

Chapter 0151 Xiao Fang Became the Adulterer

Luo Meishan had met Ding Nengren many times and knew that he was a cautious person. Although he looked fat and bloated, he was actually very careful. Otherwise, how could he survive in the complicated Yinzhou officialdom? Before, Liu Qiangdong left sadly because of Ding Nengren's betrayal. Luo Meishan saw Ding Nengren's great ambition.

Luo Meishan changed her posture, propping up her body with her arms, looking indescribably charming and lazy, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ding should know exactly what I want."

Ding Nengren looked embarrassed and sighed, "The progress of the Yuhu Ecological Zone Phase III project is not going smoothly. Secretary Xie is very unhappy now. He has said several times that he wants to remove the existing developer. Mr. Luo, you should know that the documents have not been issued yet. I have really tried my best."

Luo Meishan smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Ding, if you don't try your best, why would I bother you? Now I just implore you to continue to work hard, and this snuff bottle is worth it."

Ding Nengren smiled bitterly and stared at the snuff bottle. He liked it very much in his heart, but he knew that he could not agree easily, because Luo Meishan was like a beautiful snake. She looked lovely on the outside, but she might be bitten hard when she turned around. It was said that the reason why Xia Xiang had no chance at all was that Luo Meishan stabbed Xia Xiang in secret.

In the previous transactions, the amount received was not large, and perhaps some special means could be used to cover up the traces, but if this snuff bottle worth millions was accepted, the nature of the matter would be serious.

Ding Nengren sighed helplessly and said in a cold voice: "Boss Luo, I'll tell you the truth. The key point is not with me, but with Secretary Song. If we can't deal with Secretary Song, it's natural to change the contractor of the Yuhu Ecological Zone project. You were too close to Xia Xiang in the beginning. You must know better than me that one team has its own people and people will be forgotten when they leave."

Luo Meishan shook her head with a look of regret, and reached out to close the box again. Ding Nengren was reluctant, but he could only bear the pain and give up. People should do things within their ability. Ding Nengren was still very rational.

Luo Meishan did not put the box away. Instead, she pushed the box in front of Ding Nengren and said with a smile, "Secretary Ding, as the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. Since you have seen the things, they are yours."

"This?" Ding Nengren was excited and hesitated.

Luo Meishan smiled slightly and explained: "Secretary Ding, I have a plan now. I wonder if you are willing to participate?"

"What plan?" Ding Nengren looked alert. He finally realized that Luo Meishan's real intention was not to drink. In fact, her ultimate goal was the following plan. The previous ones were just preparations. What she said now was serious. She wanted to make a deal with him.

Luo Meishan leaned close to Ding Nengren's ear and whispered a few words, then said softly: "If you are willing to assist me, the position of the director-level official, the snuff bottle, and the small one will all be yours, how about it?"

Ding Nengren's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a long time. He said in astonishment: "Boss Luo, this is a big game. Are you going to change the weather in Yinzhou?"

Luo Meishan's mouth showed viciousness. "You need to be careful to achieve wealth and honor. Secretary Ding, you are still too narrow-minded. From the perspective of the whole province, a small Yinzhou is nothing. As for the Yuhu Ecological Zone, it is even less worth mentioning. If you nod now, you will step into the overall situation of the whole province, and that leader will take extra care of you."

Seeing that Ding Nengren was struggling with his conscience, Luo Meishan was silent for a minute or two. Seeing that he could not make up his mind, she rang the bell. Not long after, Xiaoyao came over. Luo Meishan nodded towards the snuff box containing a million-dollar snuff box. Xiaoyao understood and leaned over to put it away.

At this time, a pair of plump hands covered Xiaoyao's chubby palms.

Seeing the cunning smile hidden deep in Ding Nengren's eyes, Luo Meishan slowly stood up, then left the room without saying a word, closing the door behind her...

People are greedy. No matter how cautious a person is, you can always successfully seduce him as long as you know his bottom line. No matter how strong-willed Ding Nengren is, he is still a man. Power, money and beauty can always find his weakness.

Not long after, the man's heavy breathing and the woman's ecstatic moans could be heard from inside the house...

The night was dim, and a white car rushed out from the darkness at a very fast speed. It seemed to see a man smoking on the street not far away, and the sound of brakes came out harshly, making the originally quiet night no longer peaceful.

The smoking man flicked the cigarette butt off his fingers and sat in the passenger seat. Zhong Yang leaned over and took out a file bag from the back. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Cheng, just as you expected, Ding Nengren and Luo Meishan met in a very inconspicuous compound in the suburbs today."

Fang Zhicheng flipped through the materials, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "It was just a meeting, it can't be used as any evidence."

Zhong Yang stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Ding Nengren stayed in there for two or three hours. If it was a normal meeting, it would definitely not take that long. Moreover, they used extremely advanced anti-detective techniques. If it weren't for the brothers I arranged who are very experienced, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find their traces at all."

Fang Zhicheng sighed slowly and frowned, "Any other information?"

Zhong Yang nodded, flipped out a piece of paper, picked up a page, and said, "This is the information of the owner of that house."

"Hu Kangyuan?" Fang Zhicheng looked at Zhong Yang in confusion, with a look of doubt on his face.

Zhong Yang continued: "Take a look at the other document."

Fang Zhicheng's brows gradually furrowed. Hu Kangyuan's resume: Born in 1969, from Linfeng City, formerly the secretary of the deputy mayor of Qiongjin City Government, went into business in 1999, and is now the chairman of Dengpu Group. Dengpu Group is now a well-known development enterprise in the province, with projects in twelve cities, and Luo Meishan's company is affiliated to Dengpu Group.

Fang Zhicheng continued to read and suddenly felt frightened. Before Hu Kangyuan went into business, Wang Guoyong, the third-in-command and deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was Hu Kangyuan's leader. In other words, Hu Kangyuan's background was Wang Guoyong

Prior to this, the inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had made a series of noises in Huainan to scare the enemy. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was the top leader and the third-in-command of the provincial party committee who were secretly wrestling with each other. If we follow this line of thought, then isn't Ding Nengren now going to get on board Wang Guoyong's big ship because of Luo Meishan

Things are becoming more and more complicated, involving a contest at the provincial party committee level. Yinzhou is very likely to experience a violent earthquake, and the target is clear, which is Song Wendi, the trusted general of Secretary Li Siyuan.

Wang Guoyong, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, saw that the external force of the central inspection team could not shake Li Siyuan's foundation, so he thought of changing his approach and looking for a breakthrough from Song Wendi

Fang Zhicheng sighed and secretly hoped that things would not turn out as he expected, otherwise it would be too troublesome. He only hoped that Luo Meishan contacted Ding Nengren only because of the issue of the construction rights of the Yuhu Ecological Zone.

"I have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen in Yinzhou in the near future." Fang Zhicheng tapped the car window twice with his fingers and said in a heavy tone.

Zhong Yang didn't think as far as Fang Zhicheng, but he vaguely knew that Ding Nengren was clinging to a very powerful person. If he wanted to take action in the future, it would be more difficult.

"What should we do now? Ding Nengren is hiding too well, and we can't find any trace of him at all." Zhong Yang was a little at a loss.
