Chapter 288: Let Her Escape Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The moment a car appeared in front of them, Li Nanchen immediately reminded the driver to park at a safe spot. Then, he squatted down with his head in his hands.
The chauffeur listened to Li Nanchen’s instructions and did everything in one shot.
Several cars sped towards them. One of them quickly rolled down the window and pulled out a gun, firing without hesitation.
Li Nanchen hurriedly shielded Wu Mei under him. At the same time, he took out a gun from the backseat and prepared to retaliate.
Outside the car, sounds of collision could be heard.
Their car swayed from the impact and gradually stabilized under the continuous gunshots.
“Let��s get out of the car,” Li Nanchen shouted.
Wu Mei turned around and opened the car door behind her. She and Li Nanchen quickly jumped down and saw what was happening outside.
It was K’s car that had caught up with the cab, but his aim was clear. He only attacked one of them.
Wu Mei took the gun from Li Nanchen’s hand and immediately hid behind the car to shoot the tires of the taxi.
The taxi flipped twice and a woman jumped out. It was Mo Li.
Mo Li’s movements were not very smooth. Clearly, she had been injured before this. When she glanced in Wu Mei’s direction, her expression changed. She immediately aimed her gun at Wu Mei.
It was at this moment that Wu Mei realized that she was probably the one Mo Li really wanted to attack.
Why?!
Have they interacted before?
Wu Mei hid behind the car as this thought flashed across Wu Mei’s mind.
They kept going back and forth, neither giving in to the other.
All of a sudden, a motorbike rushed out from the side and knocked open the door that K had just opened. It flew past Wu Mei on the other side before turning to Mo Li.
“I’m not leaving! I’m going to kill her!” Mo Li yelled.
The person on the motorbike grabbed Mo Li’s arm and dragged her onto the motorcycle, bringing her away.
K tried to give chase, but the other cabs had hit him.
Wu Mei shook the gun in her hand and realized that there were no more bullets in it.
K was alone and wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.
Finally, the people sent by the organization rushed over to provide back up and chase after Mo Li, thereby saving them.
The entire incident happened in less than a minute. If they missed Mo Li again, it would be equivalent to losing.
With his gun in hand, K turned his head and bent back. The ground beneath him quickly turned into a sea of red blood.
Wu Mei was supported by Li Nanchen. When she turned back to look at K, she was shocked and impressed. K should have been injured a long time ago, but he was able to persevere until now. He was a role model.
Li Nanchen also noticed this scene and no longer targeted K like before. He immediately went over to help him up.
K forced his eyes open. When he saw that it was them, he grabbed Wu Mei’s wrist and said, “I have a lead,” before fainting.
Li Nanchen furrowed his brows. His gaze landed on Wu Mei’s wrist, which K was grabbing. His heart was ablaze with anger.
He grabbed K’s hand and pried it open rudely, but there was a worried expression on his face. “He’s seriously injured, don’t move him haphazardly. It’s easy to injure him further.”
Hearing Li Nanchen’s words, Wu Mei’s expression was indescribable.
The ambulance arrived and K was lifted onto the ambulance.
Ben, who looked a little disheveled, also rushed over.
“Are you hurt?” When Ben rushed over, he completely ignored Li Nanchen and only saw Wu Mei.
Wu Mei was uncomfortable with Ben looking at her. She only said, “I’m fine. Mo Li ran away.”
Ben’s expression suddenly darkened. He tilted his head with a solemn expression and said, “Come over and talk.”
Li Nanchen immediately placed his arm around Wu Mei’s waist and said possessively, “Ben, you’re injured. You should go to the hospital too.”
There was blood on Ben’s jacket, but it wasn’t his.
He looked at Li Nanchen coldly and said sarcastically, “Mr. Li, what happens next has nothing to do with you.”
It was Li Nanchen who had reported to the organization using Wu Mei’s name. Ben, who had accepted the mission, only communicated with Wu Mei.
Li Nanchen could not help but take a step forward, but Wu Mei held his hand.
Wu Mei did not think that Ben was angry with Li Nanchen. Instead, she thought that Ben had discovered something from his fight with Mo Li. She only said to Ben, “Okay, let’s go to the side to talk.”
Li Nanchen was unwilling to let go of Wu Mei, but he had to.
Wu Mei trailed behind Ben. As soon as they stepped aside, the atmosphere became tense and subtle.
She heard Ben lower his voice, his tone sounding like it had been dipped in gunpowder, as he demanded, “What’s going on with you and K?”
Ben’s words alarmed Wu Mei. What worried her most was that her deal with K would be discovered by others.
Puzzled, she asked, “K? What’s wrong with him?”
Ben’s gaze was murderous as he stared at Wu Mei. However, because Li Nanchen was standing behind them, he could only question Wu Mei in a low voice, “Do you think I don’t know about the frequent interactions between you and K?”
Wu Mei frowned and said firmly, “Ben, what are you talking about? Why should K and I interact privately?”
“This is K’s mission. You’re helping him, aren’t you?” Ben countered with a rebuke.
Wu Mei was not nervous at all after hearing what Ben said. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief and said in a frustrated tone, “I didn’t help him. I was helping myself and gaining his trust. Mo Li used the Wu Corporation to fence her goods for her. Needless to say, I have to settle her myself.”
Ben sneered. “Is that so? To gain his trust.”
Wu Mei looked at Ben and said casually, “Of course! If you think that there’s no need for us to interact, I’m naturally willing to stop contacting him.”
