Chapter 96 - Dangerous Confrontation
Chapter 96: Dangerous Confrontation
This secret door had been personally designed by Wu Mei.
As a top Special Agent of the Ministry of Defense, she often had enemies chasing after her. She needed to create a place that was absolutely safe and kept a secret.
Through the crack in the door, Wu Mei saw that the black shadow quickly deciphered the password she had set up. Walking under the moonlight, the person then went to the bookshelf to look for something.
He’s an expert!
To be able to break through M’s firewall in a few minutes… Could it be someone from the Ministry of Defense?
A ray of moonlight shone on the black figure. When Wu Mei saw his side profile clearly, her eyes narrowed. She clutched the door frame in shock and concealed her breathing!
It’s him?
K!
K seemed to be searching for something in front of the bookshelf. From Wu Mei’s angle, she couldn’t see all of his actions. She could only make a guess as to what kind of books he was standing in front of based on her memories.
Five to six minutes later, K quietly left with a book that had been opened.
Wu Mei took two deep breaths and looked back at the equipment storeroom behind the secret door. She picked up the gun that M used the most and hung it at her waist. She then walked out of the secret room with the books on mental illness and restored the dust on the ground to its original state, leaving no traces behind.
She returned to the bedroom and checked that all the items were placed far away. Only the bookshelf had traces of being touched.
Standing in front of the bookcase, Wu Mei suddenly realized that her mission thumb drive had disappeared!
Coincidentally, this spot was where K had stopped in front of previously.
“Was it you?” Wu Mei gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes.
The mission thumb drive was the information bank that the Ministry of Defense had sent to every high-ranking special agent. Inside it were all the important information they needed for the mission. This information was exclusive and could not be obtained by other Special Agents who were not on the mission!
What does K want with her USB drive?
Wu Mei quickly left the residence and tracked K down.
In the dead of night, along the quiet boulevard, Wu Mei lowered her hoodie and kept a distance from K.
However, as a high-ranking Special Agent of the Ministry of Defense, K still began to suspect that someone was tailing him. He pretended to be relaxed and hummed a tune as he went down two alleys to hide under the broken streetlights.
Wu Mei stopped in her tracks and hid herself. When she saw the shadow that revealed K’s hiding place, she held her breath.
This was a psychological standoff between a prey and a predator, a confrontation between investigation and counter-reconnaissance!
K also understood that she had discovered him. With a gun, he slowly approached her and took the initiative to search for her!
Sweat broke out on Wu Mei’s back. She was so nervous that she had to control her heart rate. She knew that K was an enemy not to be underestimated, and she didn’t have a 100% chance of winning!
She could only give it her all!
“Shh! Don’t move!”
Wu Mei wanted to rush out and take the initiative to fight K head-on. Out of the blue, two hands hugged her…
She went on guard and wanted to resist, but she sensed a familiar aura.
She raised her head and saw half of Li Nanchen’s handsome face revealed in the darkness. His eyes were smiling as he listened to the approaching footsteps. He quickly held her face and switched positions with her before lowering his head to kiss her passionately…
K hid his gun and frowned when he saw the intertwined figures.
Li Nanchen was covering Wu Mei, not even revealing a corner of her shirt!
K thought that they were a couple in love and didn’t suspect anything. He left quickly.
Li Nanchen lightly pinched her lips and kissed her deeply in an invasive manner. He chased after the tip of her tongue and gently nibbled on it, causing Wu Mei to feel a numbing pain. Seeing that she was slightly out of breath, he then let go of her slightly.
Li Nanchen leaned lightly against the wall and looked at her gently. He asked, “Are you stalking another man in the middle of the night because you fell in love with him?”
“I’m a little sad,” Li Nanchen said softly, concealing his true feelings as a joke.
“Let me go!” Wu Mei pushed him away. Her mind was filled with thoughts of searching for K, but it was obvious that he had already left and she couldn’t catch up to him!
Wu Mei clenched her fists. The clue she had gone through so much trouble to obtain had been cut off because of Li Nanchen.
Slightly furious, she said, “Let’s fight!”
Li Nanchen’s eyes widened in shock. “I won’t bully you!”
Wu Mei raised her leg and mercilessly kicked his knee. “In that case, you’ll get a beating from me!”
Li Nanchen dodged around in the narrow alley. Their movements were intense, but they did not make any sound.
“Stop fooling around. As a Special Agent sent by the Ministry of Defense to protect me, you should step forward at the critical moment to protect me!”
“How can it be the other way around and you end up hurting your employer?”
“This is very dangerous. It might be recorded in your Special Agent file!”
Li Nanchen was teasing her, but Wu Mei was furious. Seeing his cheeky expression, she lowered her hand helplessly.
