Chapter 115: Sneak Attack
Li Nanchen froze. He slowly lowered his head to look at Wu Mei’s side profile and asked in a low voice, “…Do you want to do the same as well?”
Wu Mei found him strange. She pointed at herself in surprise and said, “Me? Do I want to lose my memories like Mom?”
Li Nanchen shook his head. Just as he was about to tuck her messy hair behind her ear, he recalled something and retracted his hand. His eyes darkened as he pondered over something…
“To forget a failed marriage like her and start afresh.” The SUV drove through the tunnel. Darkness shrouded Li Nanchen’s figure as he spoke quickly and gloomily.
Wu Mei was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and used her hand to poke her chin, as if she was seriously thinking about something. When she saw that Li Nanchen’s expression was turning increasingly ashen, she could not help but smile lightly and lift his chin. She met his deep and dark eyes and said, “If I think about it, my marriage with you isn’t considered a failure.”
Li Nanchen was stunned. He held her fingers and interlocked his fingers with hers as he heaved a sigh of relief.
Sitting in the front passenger seat. Bi Fang saw the smile on Li Nanchen’s face through the rearview mirror. He took out his blindfold and earplugs and put them on…
He doesn’t want to see Wu Mei and Li Nanchen’s public display of affection!
In the fountain garden square of the Li Corporation, the SUV made an exception and stopped in front of the office building. Li Nanchen needed to go to the office to retrieve some documents. He initially wanted to bring Wu Mei along, but Wu Mei politely refused, “There are too many confidential documents stored in your place. I don’t want to get involved in the corporation’s affairs.”
“I’ll wait for you here with Bi Fang.”
Wu Mei leaned back in her chair tiredly. Li Nanchen knew her stubborn character and did not want to force her to do something she did not like.
Leaning against the car window of the passenger seat, he said to Bi Fang, “Take care of Wu Mei for me!”
Bi Fang waved his hand in disgust. “What kind of danger can she encounter in just a few minutes? You even asked me to take care of her… Li Nanchen, I didn’t expect you to be a romantic!”
Li Nanchen’s brows furrowed. He accepted Bi Fang’s sarcasm with a sweet smile, causing Bi Fang’s hair to stand on end in fear.
After he left, Bi Fang sized up the woman in the backseat silently. He could not tell what was special about her. “Some women are really delicate. I wonder if they’re really avoiding confidential information or if they’re just pretending to be sensible…”
Wu Mei couldn’t be bothered with his childish verbal attacks. She pushed open the car door and wanted to go out for a breather.
Bi Fang chased after her and stood beside her.
Seeing him like this, Wu Mei lifted her eyes and asked with a faint smile, “What’s wrong? Since you hate me, why did you come out with me instead of sitting in the car? Are you afraid that you’ll lose sight of me and won’t be able to answer to Li Nanchen?”
“It’s stuffy in the car and cooling outside! Do you own the Li Corporation’s square? Why do you care where I am?”
Bi Fang took out two lollipops made of Chinese medicine and handed them to Wu Mei reluctantly. He asked, “Here, do you want to try them?”
Wu Mei glanced at it and recalled the Chinese medicine formula she had taught him previously. She smiled and took it from him before taking a few slurps. “It tastes pretty good.”
Bi Fang lifted his chin smugly and once again exaggeratedly prattled to Wu Mei about the teacher-disciple relationship between M and him. Wu Mei’s eyes were smiling. The moment she turned to look at Bi Fang, she realized that a strange red dot was gleaming between his eyebrows…
Wu Mei immediately reacted and kicked Bi Fang to the ground.
Bi Fang stood up while rubbing his chest. He yelled in pain, “What are you trying to do?”
Bang! Bang!
The gunshot rang out two seconds later and a bullet shot into the metal cover of the trash bin beside them. It was where Bi Fang had been standing.
The bullet pierced through the metal and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder…
Only then did Bi Fang realise what had happened. He cursed, “Damn it! Someone wants to assassinate me?”
Wu Mei’s brows furrowed as she tried to find the sniper’s exact location. However, if she moved even slightly to reveal the corner of her shirt, the other party would shoot her.
Grabbing Bi Fang and going into hiding, she then pulled off the hat on his head. She lifted it up and shook it twice. Two bullets accurately pierced through the hat.
Bi Fang whispered in shock, “So accurate. The other party is definitely an expert!”
“They’re hiding in the dark while we’re easy targets out in the open. The current situation is very disadvantageous for us!”
The enemy continued to suppress them with firepower. Wu Mei glanced at a few blind spots in the distance. She held Bi Fang by the collar to calm him down and said, “How’s your ability in counting seconds?”
“I’m a doctor and am very sensitive to time!”
Wu Mei nodded and said in a low voice, “Reveal yourself every ten seconds to attract their firepower. Can you do that? Answer me!”
