Chapter 171 - Transferred Out From Her Posting (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Executing a personal protection mission requires Special Agents to have super strong close combat experience and accurate judgment of the battle.”
“The villa was ambushed by mercenaries and assassins. The Special Agents and bodyguards suffered heavy casualties. Feng Yue should have immediately moved Li Nanchen to a safe place to hide, but she didn’t do that and even caused Li Nanchen’s arm and ribs to be injured. This means that she’s not qualified to carry out this mission!”
Wu Mei stared at Ben fervently and forced out a few words through clenched teeth, “You have no rights to recklessly change our missions.”
Li Nanchen’s thin lips parted to express his stand as he said, “I don’t agree either.”
The atmosphere in the ward was somewhat tense and awkward. The Special Agents coughed lightly with their fists pressed against their mouths. Wu Mei looked straight at Ben without giving in.
Disappointment flashed across Ben’s eyes as he replied firmly, “It’s a fact that Wu Mei left her post.”
“She made a mistake during the mission. She has to receive the corresponding punishment in order to show fairness!”
“If Wu Mei can continue with her original mission, the other Special Agents will have some doubts, and it might even affect the operations and management in the Ministry of Defense…”
Seeing Wu Mei’s expression darken, Ben said ruthlessly, “If you don’t want to change missions, I can only transfer you out of this city.”
Wu Mei narrowed her eyes. Her mind raced as she analyzed the pros and cons of this matter. In the end, she compromised and nodded in agreement.
The sky gradually darkened. Ben and the other Special Agents left the hospital. Wu Mei sat in front of the bed. When she saw Li Nanchen turn his head and look away, she berated him in a slightly reproachful voice, “Before I left, I reminded you to be careful.”
“Other than the few bruises on your ribs and arm, are there any other injuries on your body?”
“I saw the doctor’s injury report. A stray bullet that grazed your forearm. The flesh wound should recover quickly…”
Li Nanchen was silent and did not respond. After a while, his gaze landed lightly on Wu Mei as he murmured, “You said that you had something very important to do and you didn’t allow me to go with you. I didn’t expect it to be you giving a gift to your superior?”
“Ben is quite easy to please. Just buying two boxes of dragon beard crisps will do…”
Li Nanchen looked at the fruit basket and flowers that were piled on the bedside table. In a low voice, he murmured to himself, “He even likes that kind of sweet food?”
Wu Mei took two deep breaths and raised her hand to wave it in the air, as if to chase away some invisible jealousy.
