Chapter 354: Trust Me

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

It was Ben’s mistake, of course.

John was his mission. Out of selfishness, he was not willing to give Wu Mei another chance to make a contribution.

Why was that?

Because Wu Mei and M were too similar.

Ben always had the illusion that he would be replaced by Wu Mei, which made him very uneasy.

All the reasons that made him uneasy had to be dealt with.

‘Wu Mei walked out of the apartment and saw the police officers rushing off to investigate. Due to her special identity, she was spared from trouble and directly returned to the Li family villa.

The villa was really too quiet.

‘Wu Mei walked to the living room and quietly looked out of the dimly-lit window. She couldn’t help but feel exhausted.

She was only one step away from the truth, but she was still too late.

Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind.

‘Wu Mei instinctively stiffened, but the familiar aura calmed her down instantly.

She slowly turned around and hugged Li Nanchen. In a soft voice, she said, “I’ve been reinstated. I can accept missions in the future.”

Needless to say, Li Nanchen did not want Wu Mei to take the risk, but he still chose to support her decision.

But

“Your emotions aren’t quite right.” Li Nanchen could sense Wu Mei’s dejection.

‘Wu Mei mumbled and told Li Nanchen everything that had happened. In a low voice, she said, “I also don’t know who captured the mission target. It’s just terrible.”

Li Nanchen comforted her, his hands slowly rubbing her arms to give her sufficient warmth. “Let’s eat something first. How about it?”

“Alright!” Wu Mei nodded.

Li Nanchen turned on the lights in the living room and asked the servants to prepare supper for them.

‘Wu Mei remained in Li Nanchen’s embrace the entire time, enjoying the rare moment of silence. However, a call broke the silence.

It was Mo Li.

‘Wu Mei was extremely shocked.

In disbelief, she turned to look at Li Nanchen and waved her phone. “Look, it’s a call from overseas.”

From overseas?

Mo Li!

Li Nanchen quickly sat up straight, but still kept his body close to Wu Mei. He said softly, “Answer the call.”

‘When Wu Mei picked up the call, she also pressed the recording button.

She wanted to record everything that Mo Li said just in case.

Mo Li answered calmly, “Wu Mei, your mission target is in my hands. I also have what Ben wants.”

“How about that? Let’s meet privately.”

‘Wu Mei did not hesitate to reject her. “Of course not. This is Ben’s mission, not mine.”

Mo Li was obviously infuriated. She sneered and said, “Wu Mei, it’s your mission now too.”

The notice Wu Mei received was for her to handle this matter with Ben.

She could not avoid it.

‘Wu Mei also wanted to get her hands on the black box, but she would not let Mo Li have a handle over her.

She said indifferently, “Alright, in that case you can try your best to get the organization to suspend me again. I’ll wait for your good news.”

Mo Li was flustered and exasperated, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could only threaten Wu Mei, but Wu Mei ended the call.

When Mo Li called again, Wu Mei refused to answer.

‘Wu Mei tossed her phone aside. When she turned to look at Li Nanchen, she lightly pursed her lips.

What should she say to Li Nanchen?

She leaned lightly into Li Nanchen’s embrace and said gloomily, “You know that I have to go.”

Of course, Li Nanchen understood what Wu Mei meant. She was just trying to confuse Mo Li. He hugged her waist and asked, “What do you think?”

‘Wu Mei thought seriously for a moment and said softly, “She will call again. I will track her exact location and make a move in advance.”

She looked up at Li Nanchen. “Will you blame me?”

Li Nanchen was astonished and asked at the same time, “Why?”

That’s right!

Why?

This wasn’t Wu Mei’s job alone.

‘Wu Mei quickly burrowed into Li Nanchen’s embrace. She wanted to tell Li Nanchen the truth, but she was afraid that Li Nanchen would misunderstand. She could only say, “After I settle everything, whether you believe me or not, I will tell you.”

“If you’re willing to believe me, let’s… remarry.”

She abruptly lifted her head and looked at Li Nanchen with determination.

Li Nanchen’s heart trembled slightly. His brows were knitted together as he asked unhappily, “Do you think that if you didn’t mention remarrying, I wouldn’t believe you?”

‘Wu Mei’s eyes stung slightly. Without hesitation, she kissed Li Nanchen and said aggrievedly, “Because even I can’t trust my current self.”

“But I want to get something from Mo Li. I can’t let it fall into Ben’s hands.”

Right now, she felt that Ben was more suspicious than K.

Because after M’s death, K’s personality and way of doing things had not changed at all, but Ben seemed to have become another person. He was scheming and wanted to turn to the power struggle.

If M was alive, Ben had to be active at the front line.

Only when M died would he have a chance.

Li Nanchen felt Wu Mei’s uneasiness and anger. Finally, he sighed and held her in his arms. “I will believe whatever you say.”

“If you want to find Mo Li earlier than Ben, you must have a foolproof plan.”

This included the most important section of who would provide support to Wu Mei.

‘Wu Mei’s heart warmed. She immediately hugged Li Nanchen and kissed him hard.

Li Nanchen gently caressed Wu Mei’s back, wanting her to relax.

After supper, he might have to “eat” something again…
