“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?”

Wu Mei muttered to herself as she slowly scrolled through the screen and looked at the namelist and the date of the final evaluation.

In previous years, the recruitment period for the Ministry of Defence had always been fixed!

She had planned to use Wu Mei’s face and identity to be recruited back in, so that she could find out the truth behind the plane crash. However, all her plans were ruined!

“Looks like I’ll have to find another way.”

Furious, Wu Mei banged on her desk. She felt that there seemed to be a hidden web and trap that was slowly devouring and erasing the information she needed.

Time is of the essence. She has to pick up the pace!

The next morning.

All of the dishes on the table were prepared for Wu Mei.

She sat opposite Li Nanchen and watched as he drank his usual cup of espresso. Frowning, she asked, “Isn’t it bitter?”

“Give it a try?” Li Nanchen raised his brows and pushed the coffee mug over to her.

Wu Mei inadvertently glanced at his wet lips and shook her head. “No thanks.”

Although she was bloodthirsty and heartless, she had a fondness for sweet things and could not tolerate bitterness.

“Hello?” Li Nanchen chuckled. As he thought to himself that she also had the taste buds of a young girl, he picked up a call and his expression changed instantly.

“I’ll rush over now!”

He grabbed his car keys and even forgot to change his jacket. Wu Mei felt that something was wrong. She tugged on his arm and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The hospital informed me that Grandpa is in a critical condition…” Li Nanchen’s voice trembled as he spoke.

They sped the entire way and ran through countless red lights. Holding onto the steering wheel, Wu Mei raced to send Li Nanchen to the hospital. She then accompanied him to the VIP ward.

Lin Liguo stood there smugly and provocatively. At the same time, the numerous Li-family relatives in the room, all glared hostility at Li Nanchen and Wu Mei, who had entered the room.

“What’s the situation?” Li Nanchen asked.

Lin Liguo sneered coldly. A certain uncle from the Li family looked at Li Nanchen and took out two critical condition notices. He said, “Isn’t the final outcome up to you to decide?”

“Old Master Li loves you the most. Right now, only Doctor Lin can save him… If you don’t divorce Wu Mei and marry Lin Piaopiao, are you planning to just watch him die?”

Ha, this emotional blackmail is really convenient.

Wu Mei tilted her head and observed Old Master Li’s condition. Fortunately, his condition seemed to have stabilized temporarily.

“As long as you agree to sign the divorce agreement with Wu Mei and let Piaopiao marry you, I will immediately begin the treatment…”

“But if you don’t agree, hmph… Old Master Li won’t live past tomorrow…”

Lin Liguo didn’t dare to look into Wu Mei’s eyes, but he still mustered his courage and threatened Li Nanchen.

Li Nanchen did not respond.. Standing by the bedside and looking at his tortured grandfather, he clenched his fists.
