On the other side, at the campsite…

Accompanied by the instructors from the Ministry of Defense, Li Nanchen scrutinized the new special agent cadets who had been invited for the selection. When he did not see Wu Mei, he asked, “Is everyone here?”

“Yes.” Feng Yue was the first to answer. She looked towards the dormitory guiltily and clenched her fists.

It was not appropriate for Li Nanchen to ask about Wu Mei’s whereabouts. He could only temporarily conceal his disappointment and signaled for the instructor to begin the selection…

Almost at the same time, in the dormitory building, Wu Mei smashed the window with her fist, causing a few extremely deep wounds on her arm. However, she did not care. She simply bandaged her arm with gauze and pulled Zhong Ling along as they ran to the rendezvous point.

At that moment, Feng Yue and Qi Feng had already passed the assessment and were successfully chosen!

Feng Yue looked at Wu Mei begrudgingly.. She didn’t expect that even something like this wouldn’t be able to trap Wu Mei!

She said sarcastically, “You missed the selection time. Clearly, you didn’t take it seriously. With such an attitude, why did you still come here? Are you here to congratulate us?”

“That’s right, you can go back to the dorm and continue sleeping! You don’t have a part in this mission. Come earlier next time!”

As Feng Yue and Qi Feng spoke, the joy in Li Nanchen’s eyes gradually dimmed…

Pretending to be unfamiliar with her, he walked to Wu Mei and asked, “You’re Wu Mei? You were first in the Qualifying Competition?”

“Welcome to this trial mission.”

The new cadets were shocked. They did not expect Wu Mei to receive another “special treatment”. They were indignant and began to discuss!

Zhong Ling recognized him as the man Wu Mei had carried back that day. She quietly went to Wu Mei and whispered in her ear, “This man… isn’t here to repay a favor, is he?”

“Don’t spout nonsense,” Wu Mei replied in a low voice. Zhong Ling pursed her lips obediently and sized up the unusual atmosphere between the two of them.

Feng Yue was furious. She put her hands behind her back again and shouted, “Report, I have objections!”

“Wu Mei did not go through the combat selection and is not eligible to participate in the selection for this mission. The Ministry of National Defense’s important missions require capable people, and not people who rely on connections! I propose creating a fair environment so that we can all be convinced!”

Seeing her acting like an envoy of justice, Wu Mei pulled down her sleeves and looked up calmly as she asked, “Do you want to have a match with me?”

“!”

Qi Feng remembered the trauma in the rainforest and wanted to stop Feng Yue.

However, Feng Yue had never fought Wu Mei directly. She was itching for a chance to teach Wu Mei a lesson to vent her anger, so she immediately agreed!

The training ground was so empty that there were no obstacles for her to dodge. Every punch was real!

Feng Yue took the initiative to attack and swept her leg in an attempt to find Wu Mei’s flaw…

On the other hand, Wu Mei leapt up in the air and flew to her. Her legs formed a scissor stance in mid-air and gripped Feng Yue’s neck tightly!

The suffocation and the oppression made Feng Yue immobilised. Her mind went blank. Slapping the ground, she grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it at Wu Mei. Even if her methods were despicable, she couldn’t care less!

Feng Yue took the opportunity to lift Wu Mei up and wanted to throw her over her shoulder into the sand pit…

Almost instantly, she saw Wu Mei’s lips curl up in a scornful smile, as if in slow motion!

The next moment, Feng Yue was lying on the ground on her back and was being held down by Wu Mei. If Wu Mei exerted any force, she would die here!

“You lost.” Wu Mei dusted her hands and stood up.

Feeling pathetic and embarrassed, Feng Yue wanted to continue challenging Wu Mei. However, Li Nanchen interrupted her and said, “The purpose of this mission is to eradicate the drug lord’s nest and eliminate the drug gang. It’s extremely dangerous. I hope that all of you can show your strength and return safely.”

Feng Yue was speechless with anger.

Wu Mei thought about it and pushed Zhong Ling in front of Li Nanchen. She said, “She’s extremely good at scouting. She can help with both disguise and analysis.”

“Okay.”

Li Nanchen nodded and told the instructor beside him to add Zhong Ling’s name to the list.

The few of them quickly packed up and prepared to leave the training base with Li Nanchen. When they passed by the main gate, they saw Ben standing there with his arms crossed. When he caught sight of Wu Mei, his eyes narrowed and he called out to her. He said coldly, “This mission isn’t suitable for you. Stay back.”

Wu Mei was a little surprised by Ben’s attitude. She chuckled and asked, “Why?”

Ben frowned but did not give a reasonable reason. He could only stand in Wu Mei’s way and block her path.

This continued until Li Nanchen sent an instructor over who said, “Ben, this mission is specially approved by the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense. President Li has all the authority to give commands. You can’t interfere.”

“Take a look. It’s an order from the superiors.”

Wu Mei tilted her head. Seeing Ben frown and take a step aside, she shrugged and caught up with the group.
