Chapter 66 - Seduction Plan

In a private room in a hotel arranged by the Ministry of Defense.

Li Nanchen strode out and pulled out the chair in a gentlemanly manner. He looked at Wu Mei, but she pretended not to see him and sat down beside Zhong Ling.

The new special agents sat down one after another. Li Nanchen sat at the host seat. His eyes scanned the menu but he did not order the signature dishes.

“Stir-fried bamboo shoots, boiled shrimp, black chicken lotus root soup…” He familiarly listed out the names of a few dishes. All of them were nourishing dishes that were served to the table!

This seemed to be an ordinary action but few newbie special agents, who were good at observing and liked to gossip, felt that something was amiss. They discussed in a low voice, “Why does this look like dishes that replenish nutrition and can promote the recovery of wounds? The instructor once mentioned this during the group training!”

“Exactly! There’s nothing spicy at all. How will it taste good?”

“Could it be that President Li deliberately gave it to someone who needs to recuperate…” They all turned their gazes to Wu Mei.

Holding her chopsticks, Feng Yue had no appetite at all!

“It’s very possible. Only Wu Mei got injured during the bomb disposal mission. President Li must have found out beforehand when he knew that she got first place!”

“This is a public display of affection, isn’t it? He even pulled out a chair for her just now!”

The more they chatted, the more excited they became, as if they had discovered an important secret.

However, Feng Yue couldn’t hold it in as she took two pieces of bamboo shoots. She stared at Wu Mei and said in a sarcastic tone, “I really envy you, Wu Mei. President Li takes such good care of you! He even takes care of your diet and makes us accompany you…”

“I have to say, you’re really lucky! You have to recover quickly. Don’t waste President Li’s efforts!”

Wu Mei couldn’t even be bothered to lift her eyelids. She simply tuned out Feng Yue’s voice!

On the other hand, Li Nanchen made a big show of picking up the bowl of soup in front of him, moving so much that the bandage around his waist could be seen. He glanced sideways and asked, “I was injured when I took out the drug cartel a while back. I need some nourishment. Is there a problem with that?”

“If you don’t like it, turn left when you go out the door. You don’t have to force yourself to sit here!”

Li Nanchen’s eyes were cold and intimidating. Feng Yue could only shut up and eat her meal in silence.

Zhong Ling tilted her head and held her bowl as she carefully observed the dishes that filled the dining table. She suddenly realized that most of them were Wu Mei’s favorites! They had gone to the canteen together for more than ten days. She knew Wu Mei’s taste buds the best!

She moved closer to Wu Mei and covered her mouth with her hand as she secretly winked and asked, “Be honest, is President Li interested in you?”

“He’s courting you, isn’t he?!” Zhong Ling said excitedly. “He knows you better than you do!”

Wu Mei frowned and stuffed Zhong Ling’s mouth with a drumstick. She looked up and met Li Nanchen’s gaze. She felt her heart slow down for a moment before she lowered her eyes and ate her rice. Ripples formed in her heart like a lake and did not subside for a long time.

“President Li, what’s the arrangement for our anti-narcotics operation? What’s the plan?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When the Ministry of Defense’s instructor found the time to ask, Li Nanchen briefly explained the location of the drug cartel. He emphasized, “They are all drug traffickers with anti-reconnaissance abilities. They conduct drug deals in a clubhouse that requires many layers of identification before one can enter. Therefore, the operation has to be carried out cautiously.”

“There mustn’t be any mistakes!” He tapped his fingers on the dining table.

Feng Yue’s eyes lit up as she stared at Wu Mei. Turning the lazy susan, she said in a casual tone, “In that case, it requires people to be in disguise to get close to the target to obtain internal information. Why don’t you ask Wu Mei to go? She’s pretty, so she’ll definitely be able to successfully seduce them and make a contribution.”

“As long as you can get the leader to lower his guard, it’s possible to capture them alive without using guns or fire!”

“Isn’t this the time to prove your abilities? What a good opportunity!”

Wu Mei pondered over the feasibility of the plan and did not refuse. She said decisively, “Sure.”

As a Special Agent of the Ministry of Defense, this was the most basic and conventional modus operandi.

M had once been known as a “Deadly Beauty”, and she felt that seduction was the easiest and fastest method…

“No way.”

Almost at the same time, Li Nanchen flatly refused and said without hesitation, “As the commander, I will not allow it.”

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly froze. The new special agent all stared stiffly at Wu Mei and Li Nanchen who were staring at each other. Both of them did not say a single word, but it was as if they were battling with wills to see who would admit defeat first!

The room was so quiet that one could not even hear the sound of breathing…
