Chapter 146 - Stepping Beyond One's Authority To Approve
In the meeting room, Bai Xue and Ben were watching the hundreds of surveillance videos that were projected in real time and were monitoring them.
Taking deep breaths to compose herself, Feng Yue then pushed open the door and walked to Bai Xue's side. "Instructor, I want to apply to transfer to Li Nanchen's side to protect him better. The current situation in this city is not clear. Li Nanchen is seriously injured and has not recovered. I'm worried that Wu Mei won't be able to undertake the mission of protecting him alone."
"Li Nanchen's identity is special. If anything happens to him, it will have an irreparable impact on the Ministry of Defense."
Feng Yue stood ramrod straight and tried her best to conceal her true intentions as she made excuses that she had deliberated over for a long time.
Bai Xue's lips curled up. As a woman, she could tell what Feng Yue was thinking with one glance.
She must have been jealous because of Li Nanchen's protection of Wu Mei and wants to use this opportunity to seduce him so as to use special methods to climb up the ranks!
"I don't approve."
Bai Xue immediately turned her down and said, "Other than the personal protection from the Ministry of Defense, Li Nanchen also has his Corporation's bodyguards. Those are all retired Special Forces and are quite skilled. They don't need you there! You can rest assured and stay in the hotel to await orders…"
Sitting on the sofa, Ben looked up and sized up Feng Yue, who seemed reluctant to leave. He rubbed the joint of his thumb with his index finger as he pondered.
He knew about Wu Mei and Li Nanchen's relationship. If they continued to be left alone like this, their relationship might intensify and cause the two of them to get back together. Love and marriage would only affect Wu Mei's career. She could become the best agent in the Ministry of Defense and someone like M…
Ben's brows knitted together as he said in a low voice, "I approve. Pack your things and prepare to go to the Li family's villa."
Feng Yue smiled in surprise and quickly left the meeting room, afraid that Ben would regret it later!
Bai Xue looked at Ben in shock. In the past, he had never been a busybody! The reason why Ben agreed for Feng Yue to get close to Li Nanchen right now is clearly because of Wu Mei. He's afraid that Wu Mei would fall in love with Li Nanchen if she gets closer to him!
At the thought of this, Bai Xue walked to Ben with some jealousy and hatred. She questioned him, "You agreed to let Feng Yue go to Li Nanchen's side. You're stepping beyond your authority!"
"She's my disciple. I should be the one to arrange any action plans. Ben, aren't you paying too much attention to Wu Mei?! Your judgment has been affected by her, and you've even made an absurd and wrong decision. This isn't like you! Wake up, alright?"
Frowning, Bai Xue tried to grab Ben's hand, but he simply stood up and kept a distance from her.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Ben narrowed his eyes and stared at Bai Xue. In a cold voice, he said, "We're just colleagues."
"Please control yourself and not interfere with the decisions of your superiors. Feng Yue is your disciple, but she is also an operation member under my command and deployment. If you have any objections or disagreement, you can report to headquarters at any time. I will accept their investigation!"
Ben swiftly left the meeting room. Looking at his resolute back, Bai Xue gritted her teeth in indignance and blamed everything on Wu Mei!
In the Li Family's villa, Wu Mei helped Mother Wu to the bathroom and gently wiped her body. After a few days of meticulous care, Mother Wu's injuries had more or less recovered, but she still had nightmares every night. Wu Mei could only accompany her to sleep in the guest room.
Li Nanchen stood outside the door of the guest room and listened to Wu Mei coax Mother Wu in an extremely gentle tone. His heart was filled with jealousy.
He pushed open the door slightly and looked at Wu Mei with a resentful gaze. He mouthed silently, "Are you coming back to stay tonight?"
Wu Mei looked at him in amusement and shook her head. She quietly pointed at Mother Wu and said, "Mom is not feeling well. I have to stay here to take care of her. You can go back first…" After saying that, she pushed Li Nanchen out and closed the door.
Li Nanchen sighed deeply. Recalling the time when he was bedridden and seriously injured, he felt a little nostalgic.
Wait! Injured?! Li Nanchen's eyes instantly lit up. He rushed to the bathroom and poured cold water onto his body. He ran his hand through his wet hair and lowered the temperature. His muscles tensed up due to the stimulation, and the outline of his abs became increasingly obvious…
Li Nanchen was trembling from the cold. He turned off the shower and casually wrapped a towel around his waist. He walked to the French window and opened it.
A gust of cold wind blew over and he couldn't help but shiver.. However, he gritted his teeth and continued to stand where the wind came in.
