Chapter 170: Confrontation in the Hospital
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wu Mei called Feng Yue back. After finding out that Li Nanchen was seriously injured, she hurriedly asked in a hoarse voice, “Which ward are you guys in?”
In the hospital, Wu Mei rushed to the VVIP ward with an anxious expression. Nervous, she stopped at the door and took two deep breaths before pushing the door open.
Feng Yue and the other Special Agents were all standing by the bed. Li Nanchen’s face was pale as he lay there. His breathing was sluggish and he was unconscious.
Wu Mei glanced at the few instruments that were used to detect vital signs. She relaxed a little when she saw that he was not in any danger.
Feng Yue crossed her arms and leaned against the window sill. In a questioning tone, she said, “As a Special Agent from the Ministry of Defense, you left your post without permission during a personal protection mission and neglected your duties.”
“This directly caused President Li to be seriously injured and unconscious. If the higher-ups investigate, can you bear the responsibility?”
Seeing that Wu Mei remained silent, Feng Yue thought that she felt guilty. Her eyes lit up and she continued to interrogate Wu Mei, “Where did you go during that time?”
“The mercenaries were prepared for this surprise attack. I think they know the environment and terrain of the villa very well!”
“It’s very likely that they have insiders. You’re the biggest suspect…”
Wu Mei’s attention was focused on Li Nanchen’s injuries. Initially, she did not want to care about Feng Yue’s slander and accusations.
However, when she heard Feng Yue’s words getting more and more overboard and even accused her of “colluding with the enemy,” she opened her mouth to retort.
Ben was originally listening quietly. When he heard Feng Yue’s interrogation, he suddenly spoke up to help Wu Mei out of the situation, “At that time, she was in the government building…”
“She sent me some dragon beard crisps.”
Ben’s explanation stunned the Special Agents for a while. Their eyes darted back and forth between Wu Mei and him as ambiguous and indecent thoughts surfaced in their minds!
On the hospital bed, Li Nanchen opened his eyes slowly and heard these words. He choked on his breath and started coughing.
“How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?”
Wu Mei couldn’t care less about the shocked expressions on the Special Agents’ faces. She stood by the bed and asked him nervously.
Li Nanchen’s gaze landed on Ben. He gently pushed her hand away and frowned uncomfortably.
Feng Yue acutely sensed his abnormality and immediately said in an inciting tone, “President Li, Wu Mei clearly knew that you were in danger at any time in the villa. Recently, an unfamiliar face appeared nearby. Not only did she not stay by your side to protect you, she actually went to the government building to give Instructor Ben dragon beard crisps?”
“Between currying favor with her superior and protecting her target, which is more important? She can’t even differentiate between these!”
“To think that you still kept her by your side. Wu Mei relied on unusual methods to enter the Special Agent Camp back then. Her heart has never been fixed on any man in particular. You’d better take the opportunity now to see her true colors…” Feng Yue said agitatedly. Li Nanchen and Ben stared at her coldly. She immediately lowered her head and avoided their gazes.
As if she did not hear Feng Yue’s words, Wu Mei worriedly examined Li Nanchen’s wound. This silence seemed to be a tacit agreement in the eyes of others.
She did not refute Ben’s words. It could be seen that when Wu Mei said that she had something to do, it was to meet Ben!
Li Nanchen recalled her actions before she left the villa. Although he was sad, he did not want Wu Mei to continue to be criticized and slandered by Feng Yue.
He coughed lightly and propped himself up weakly as he said, “Wu Mei asked me in advance about leaving the villa. She got my permission.”
“Although she’s a Special Agent arranged for me by the Ministry of Defense, she has the right to handle her personal matters…”
“On the other hand, you failed in your duty to protect me and caused me to be seriously injured. Don’t you need to accept your punishment?” Li Nanchen defended Wu Mei.
Seeing that she could not sow discord between them, Feng Yue’s eyes darted to Ben. Her tone changed slightly as she suggested, “No matter what, Wu Mei needs to be punished for leaving her post during the protection period. She no longer has the right to carry out personal protection missions!”
Ben met Feng Yue’s gaze. Recalling Wu Mei’s relationship with Li Nanchen, he agreed, “That’s right.”
“In that case, Feng Yue will be the one to carry out the mission to protect Li Nanchen. Wu Mei will hand over the specific work to her. This will take effect immediately.”
Hearing Ben’s order, Feng Yue looked at Wu Mei smugly and tauntingly. She raised her left eyebrow slightly and smiled..
