“All of you, remember her face…”
Li Nanchen wrapped his arm around Wu Mei’s shoulders and lifted her chin slightly. His gaze swept over Brother Black and with an imposing aura, he said, “In the future, no one can touch her in the underground casinos. If anyone dares to make her unhappy, it’ll be akin to going against the Li family. They have to be responsible for the consequences.”
Looking at Lin Liguo, who had been brought over from next door, he frowned and said, “From now on, he has no special privileges in the casino.”
“Yes…” Brother Black hurriedly nodded.
Lin Liguo’s face turned ashen and he trembled with anger.
Wu Mei stared at his side profile. What is Li Nanchen’s motive in protecting her?
Is it simply because she is his lawful wife?
The two of them left the underground casino side by side. When they saw Lin Liguo at the door, Wu Mei kindly took out two coins and threw them in front of him. She said calmly, “This is for you. Take the bus. Don’t walk home and end up having someone cover you with a gunny sack and beat you up!”
“You will definitely get your retribution!” Lin Liguo roared at Wu Mei as his blood pressure soared.
Wu Mei let out a long sigh and returned to where he was. She raised her fist and saw Lin Liguo subconsciously cowering.
As she was in a good mood today, she let him off the hook.
Wu Mei retracted her hand and patted him lightly. She said, “You insist on looking for trouble.”
She returned to the car and smiled awkwardly at Li Nanchen.
The moon was bright, but Li Nanchen was in no hurry to drive off. He leaned towards her to help her buckle her seatbelt and asked, “Are you short of money?”
“If you need money, you can tell me… The situation in the underground casino is complicated and very dangerous.”
Li Nanchen was about to take out his checkbook. When Wu Mei saw his actions, she grabbed his hand. The screen lit up and she looked at the 50 million that had been transferred to her account.
“I won it from Lin Liguo. Helped you to win back all the medical fees.”
“Don’t spend money on quacks in the future. Save the money.”
Wu Mei rolled down the window and took off her hairband. Her curly hair fluttered in the wind and brushed against Li Nanchen’s shoulder…
“You…” Li Nanchen stared at her. In the end, he compromised and drove back to the villa.
…
In the bedroom, Wu Mei was wearing a bathrobe. She turned on her computer and tapped her slender fingers on the keyboard.
As she typed, a bunch of numbers appeared on the screen.
After decoding the code to get the message behind it, her heart sank.
“The recruitment for special agents this year has ended…”
“Why was it brought forward?”
