Chapter 117 - Police Chief's Gratitude
"…This sniper is a criminal that our police department has put a bounty on!"
"He was sent to jail for intentional harm previously. He was released two years ago and immediately committed another crime outside. However, he has an extremely strong anti-reconnaissance ability and escaped from us quite a few times. This time, you helped us to catch him. You helped us a lot!"
"We have investigated and found that he is now affiliated with a gang of dark forces that sells guns. Capturing him is akin to prying open a breakthrough point!"
"The police department will definitely apply to the higher-ups to award you with a certificate or a medal for being a good citizen!" The Police Chief explained the situation.
He then looked at Wu Mei and probed, "Have you learnt shooting before?"
"Otherwise, how could you accurately shoot him in the eye with an air gun from such a far distance? Besides, according to him, you accurately shot his vital spot while he was moving, which was why he didn't escape successfully!"
The Police Chief stared at Wu Mei and sized her up. He did not expect such a slender and weak woman to be able to arrest the wanted criminal on her own!
One had to understand that the sniper was an expert who could escape from a siege with several police officers!
Wu Mei felt awkward under his fervent gaze and her gaze flickered.
She did not want to reveal her identity at this moment. Based on the Police Chief's character, he would probably cause her a lot of trouble if he knew that she was a Special Agent of the Ministry of Defense…
Wu Mei thought for a moment before saying perfunctorily, "In the past, I used to play some sexual games with my ex-husband at home and we would shoot darts. Sometimes, my eyes were covered. After a long time, I guess I'm a little more familiar with shooting humans…"
"When he was fighting me, he let his guard down because I'm a woman. He failed because he underestimated his enemy."
"Police Chief, don't think too much about it. Your police officers are outstanding."
Wu Mei forced out a few words of praise. She wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but she did not expect the Police Chief to start breathing rapidly because of her description.
His eyes gradually turned yearning and fanatic. He took two steps forward and rubbed his hands together as he probed, "You're already divorced?"
"Actually, the best way to forget a failed relationship is to enter a brand new one…"
Wu Mei was speechless.
She really did not expect to meet a latent SM fan in a righteous place like the police station.
Wu Mei was worried about how she could leave without hurting the Police Chief's pride when the door was suddenly shoved open with force.
Li Nanchen saw the Police Chief's harassment behaviour and glanced at him with a dark expression. His eyes were filled with warning. Then, he walked over to Wu Mei's side and held her hand. As if declaring his possessive rights, he asked softly, "Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
"If something like this happens again next time, let me deal with it!"
Wu Mei was surprised by Li Nanchen's arrival. She shook her head and gently squeezed his fingers to comfort him as she said, "I'm fine."
The Police Chief had once met Li Nanchen while carrying out official duties. The moment he saw Li Nanchen, he recognized him and instantly became so nervous that he did not dare to breathe.
His gaze darted between Li Nanchen and Wu Mei. He was breaking out in cold sweat because of his rash actions just now, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Where's Bi Fang? Is he alright?" Wu Mei asked worriedly as she didn't see him when she tilted her head.
Li Nanchen narrowed his eyes and glanced outside as he said, "He's alive…"
Standing in the corridor, Bi Fang fiddled with the two lollipops in his pocket as he listened to the police officers, who took the statement, praise Wu Mei.
He recalled how he had mistaken Wu Mei as M and couldn't help but frown…
In the office, the Police Chief tried to change the topic and said, "I wonder if Miss Wu Mei would like to join the police station as a special police officer? With your skills and abilities, you are definitely qualified. I can apply for special approval from my superiors, so that you can…"
Li Nanchen interrupted him as he said coldly, "There's no need."
"Is there anything else?"
The Police Chief broke out in cold sweat and quickly shook his head.
Holding Wu Mei's hand, Li Nanchen left the police station with her. Stealing a glance at his firm side profile and slightly pursed lips, Wu Mei found him somewhat adorable.
The Police Chief watched as they left. He then raised his hand to wipe his sweat and quickly picked up his teacup to take a few sips to calm himself down.
"Didn't the rumors say that President Li doesn't have any feelings for his ex-wife and that there's no contact between the two of them after the divorce?"
"Looks like it's not like that at all… The honey in President Li's eyes is about to flow out. What's going on?"
