Chapter 166 - Min Qun and Him

When Wu Mei reached the thirteenth floor, she saw that the door to Ben’s office was open and was about to walk in.

Through the gap between the blinds, Wu Mei seemed to make out a familiar figure sitting opposite Ben talking to him. She stopped in her tracks and leaned against the cold wall as she eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

Min Qun leaned forward against the edge of the table. He casually fiddled with the equipment on Ben’s desk and said, “The Ministry of Defense’s Special Agents have been very average recently. The missions they complete need to be evaluated and reviewed. I’ll leave the filing to you.”

Ben didn’t respond. M’s image came to mind, and his expression became unreadable.

Min Qun could tell that he was emotionally conflicted. He leaned back in the chair. As if trying to console Ben, he said, “After Wu Mei left, I handed all of these things to you. I know that you can’t accept it psychologically, but based on the Ministry of Defense’s rules, this is a very normal mission handover.”

“When you meet me, you don’t have to act like this.”

Min Qun snapped his fingers. Ben looked up at him with a chilly gaze.

Wu Mei guessed that the Ministry of Defense had already handed M’s responsibilities over to Ben. Although according to the rules, there was no problem for disciples to take over their mentors’ responsibilities after the passing of their Mentor, she still felt uncomfortable when she thought of Bi Fang’s words.

Wu Mei coughed lightly as she walked to the door. She raised her hand and tapped lightly on the glass as she said, “Sorry to disturb.”

Surprised that someone had come to the office to look for Ben, Min Quan turned to look at Wu Mei. He then turned to look at Ben and asked, “Who is this?”

Everyone in the Ministry of Defense knows that Ben rarely agrees for others to enter his office, especially women!

For Wu Mei to walk in naturally and even casually place the dragon beard crisp in front of Ben, their relationship must be special…

Ben looked at Wu Mei and explained calmly, “She’s the new disciple I took in recently.”

Staring at Wu Mei’s face, Min Qun recalled the evaluation that the high-ranking Special Agents of the Ministry of Defense had of Wu Mei.?Is she the super newbie who nearly broke M’s training record? Furthermore, she had repeatedly completed highly difficult Special Agent missions and obtained the second-class medal at the same time that she graduated from the Special Agent camp?

There were countless rumors circulating within the Ministry of Defense regarding Wu Mei. Min Qun could not tell if they were true or not. Today, when he saw her eyes, an indescribable sense of familiarity rose in his heart.

“Really does resemble her.”

Min Qun looked at Ben meaningfully and smiled as he said, “I think I know the reason why you took her in as a disciple.”

Frowning in displeasure, Ben glared at him coldly and asked, “Do you have anything else?”

Min Qun shrugged. Then, he straightened his clothes and stood up. As he passed Wu Mei, he took a deep look at her before leaving the office without a word.

Wu Mei watched as Ben opened the dragon beard crisp. She sat across from him and looked around with feigned interest at the familiar furnishings. They were almost identical to the past. Only the photo of him and M on the desk had been removed and replaced with a transparent box with two medals in it.

Recalling Min Qun’s words, she pretended to ask casually, “Do I look like someone you guys knew in the past?”

“I’ve heard this sentence a lot recently. Is she a very famous Senior in the Ministry of Defense?”

“If there’s a chance, I want to meet her. Perhaps we’re fated.”

Wu Mei deliberately used a relaxed tone to lower Ben’s guard. He frowned and quickly changed the topic as he answered, “He was just spouting nonsense. The Ministry of Defense will specially filter Special Agents’ appearances when they are admitted. He might have remembered wrongly.”

Since Ben was unwilling to talk about M, Wu Mei didn’t press him any further. She silently calculated the time it would take for the Special Agents to patrol the warehouse.

Seizing the opportunity, she told Ben about the progress of the mission and then turned to leave the office. Wu Mei snuck to the side in a flash and pushed open the door to the stairwell. She ran to the floor of the Special Agents’ warehouse at an extremely fast speed whilst concealing her figure in the dark and observing her surroundings.

Wu Mei heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. In order to ensure that it was safe to enter the warehouse, she cut off the power of the mobile communication equipment she carried with her and turned off her phone.

She watched as a team of patrolling agents disappeared around the corner of the corridor. She used the simple equipment in her hand to disrupt the signal and change the code for the surveillance cameras, making the surveillance equipment freeze for two seconds. After creating the blind spot, she swiftly sprinted over…
