Chapter 128 - Announcing the News

“…Don’t believe her!”

“Who’s Li Yanghong? I don’t even know him! How can I be his assistant?”

“They want to find someone to take the blame and divert attention. Everyone, don’t be fooled by them!” Li Yanghong’s assistant shouted, refusing to admit it. The shareholders were soon confused. They looked at Wu Mei hesitantly, suspecting her identity.

Wu Mei leaned towards him and forcefully fished out his phone from his chest. She held it up in front of him to unlock the phone using face recognition.

No matter how Li Yanghong’s assistant dodged, Wu Mei still dug out the close photos of him and Li Yanghong from the phone album. She used the selfies of them playing golf together as evidence and got Qin Yang to pass them on to the shareholders in the front row to prove his identity…

The shareholders gritted their teeth in hatred. They smashed the rotten eggs that they carried with them onto Li Yanghong’s assistant and called him an a*shole.

Knowing the truth, they all dispersed after hearing Wu Mei’s placation and promise.

Qin Yang arranged for the cleaning staff to clear up the miscellaneous items in the square and the banners with footprints on it. He looked at Wu Mei with a grateful expression and said, “Thank you!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The Corporation can finally function normally again!”

Wu Mei nodded at him and said, “I’ll leave the corporation to you to take care of it for him!”

In the fancy bungalow villa, Li Yanghong couldn’t take it anymore and dialed the overseas number again. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, “The method to get the shareholders to surround the company has failed. That b*tch is amazing. Is there any other solution? If this continues… I’m afraid we’re really doomed!”

Li Zhuo furrowed his brows in disgust and said calmly, “Steady yourself first. Don’t panic and expose yourself!”

“I’ve already booked a plane ticket and will be back in China soon. We’ll discuss the specific solution then…”

Li Yanghong sighed deeply. That was the only thing he could do now. He grumbled for a while before hanging up. When he thought of Wu Mei’s eyes, he could not help but shudder.

In the Li Family’s villa, Wu Mei saw fresh footprints in the soft soil of the garden. She narrowed her eyes and quietly went around the corner of the outer wall. She caught two assassins who were trying to sneak into the house by climbing through the glass. She tied the two of them up and got the bodyguards to escort them to the basement. She kept it under wraps.

Within a day, Wu Mei finished off three batches of assassins who had come one after another.

Sitting in the living room, she watched the real-time surveillance videos of the basement. She guessed that the mercenaries in City B and the forces of the “Viper” organization should have all received the news of Li Nanchen’s death. This was the best timing…

Wu Mei arranged for Bi Fang to release the news to announce that the Li family would cremate Li Nanchen’s body the next morning.

Tonight would be the best chance for the assassins hiding in the dark to snatch the body!

Late at night, Bi Fang had arranged the living room of the Li Family’s villa into a simple mourning hall. In the middle of it was Li Nanchen’s black-and-white photograph. His deep and cold eyes were staring fixedly ahead. Accompanied with the background music of the Diamond Sutra, there was an indescribable horror to his eyes.

Bi Fang rubbed his arms and looked at Li Nanchen who did not seem to mind. He sighed with admiration at how courageous they were and how they had no taboos at all!

Wu Mei called for Bi Fang and got him to settle Old Master Li and the Li Family’s servants properly in order to prevent any accidents from happening…

She checked her gun and looked up at Li Nanchen. Pushing open the heavy coffin lid, she pointed at the dark and narrow space and smiled lightly as she said, “Please!”

Li Nanchen shook his head and lay in the coffin with her help. Wu Mei pulled the lid up, leaving only a small gap for the two of them to breathe. She pricked up her ears to listen for any movements outside. Inside the coffin, she could only hear their hearts beating. Gradually, their heartbeats reached the same frequency…

The coffin was narrow. Wu Mei and Li Nanchen were practically pressed against each other. Li Nanchen could smell the faint fragrance coming from her body.

Li Nanchen gently placed his hand on her waist and said in a low and hoarse voice, “I didn’t think that I would actually be able to rehearse being buried with you in advance…” He wanted to continue speaking, but Wu Mei raised her hand to cover his mouth. Frowning, she said, “You’re not allowed to say that. It’s inauspicious.”

In the darkness, Li Nanchen could not see her expression, but he could feel her concern for him. He chuckled lightly and smiled.

“Mm…”

The next moment, Li Nanchen turned his body and hugged Wu Mei. He caressed her lips and kissed them. The temperature in the coffin suddenly rose…

The white candle in the living room flickered. At first, Wu Mei wanted to resist, but after struggling for a while, she sighed and gently placed her hand on his shoulder…
