Chapter 140: Mission Deployment

In the Li Corporation, the Special Agents sent by the Ministry of Defense to City B were seated in the meeting room. Wu Mei was the one who organised the specific battle plan.

Pictures of the Viper Organization’s logo and those of the few assassins detained at the police station appeared on the projector screen. Wu Mei looked at the quiet crowd and said, “At this stage, all of you shall hide City B and wait for orders. The deadline is three months. If the Viper Organization doesn’t do anything or attack, it might indicate that they have chosen to give up on the assassination plan against Li Nanchen. This protection mission will be a success.”

“If we find out what the Viper Organization is doing, we will then develop our strategy and come up with a response plan.”

The Special Agents from the Ministry of Defense exchanged glances with each other in surprise. All they need to do here is wait?

Feng Yue looked displeased. She stood up and threw the ballpoint pen on the conference table. Staring at Wu Mei, she said, “We’re all Special Agents with missions assigned to us. We’re not as free as you! If we don’t need to do anything for the plan in City B, we will immediately apply to return to the headquarters to carry out our original missions.”

When he heard her words, Qi Feng agreed, “That’s right. Although we were ordered to cooperate with you to complete the mission…”

“But having us stay in the hotel is like a humiliation to us! No one will be willing to stay behind to do these stupid things with you!”

Wu Mei lifted her eyes and quietly listened to their argument. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Ben, who was sitting beside her, say in a low and mocking voice, “Special Agents from the Ministry of Defense can’t even learn to obey orders and the organisation’s arrangements…”

“Get lost if you’re unwilling to carry out the mission. I’ll stay behind.”

Ben was clearly supporting Wu Mei. The murderous aura around him made everyone afraid to speak. They could only lower their heads nervously.

Seeing that the situation was amiss, Bai Xue, who was unwilling to miss the chance to fight alongside Ben, openly expressed her stance, “I’ll stay too.”

As Bai Xue’s disciples, Qi Feng and Feng Yue naturally had no other choice. When they caught Bai Xue signalling to them with her eyes, they reluctantly pushed their chairs aside and respectfully bowed to Ben as they apologized, “We’re sorry. We will abide by the arrangements and carry out this mission seriously.”

Ben said coldly, “I’m not the one you need to apologize to…”

When Wu Mei heard his words, she chuckled at an inaudible volume. She waved her hand and pretended to be magnanimous as she said, “I accept it.”

Feng Yue was so furious that she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She stole a glance at Li Nanchen and thought to herself that although Wu Mei’s protection mission was simple, Li Nanchen’s status was not low. If Wu Mei succeeded in the mission, she would still receive the Merit Medal!

This is unfair! If she can snatch this mission over…

Feng Yue’s mind started ticking. She thought about Li Nanchen’s attitude towards Wu Mei and their intimate relationship. It was impossible for her to get him to agree to the replacement.

In that case, she could only target other people. Feng Yue’s gaze slowly swept across everyone in the meeting room as she searched for her target.

The few assassins detained by the police could not withstand the torture any longer. They spat out some information about the situation in the Viper Organization. Based on the intel, Wu Mei arranged a specific mission deployment and said, “K is responsible for dispatching and overseeing the command post, Ben will…”

Before Wu Mei finished speaking, Ben interrupted her coldly, “I don’t agree. K isn’t on the list of people sent by the Ministry of Defense. He should be excluded.”

K looked at him and said in a mocking tone, “What? You can control my schedule now?”

“The guy who tagged behind M’s butt to do missions back then has grown up and dares to challenge me. Was it M who taught you to contradict your superiors?”

“If M sees the way you are , she’ll probably regret taking you in as her disciple!”

When he heard M’s name, Ben immediately became agitated. He banged on the table and leaned forward slightly to glare at K intently. Gritting his teeth, he said, “You’re not worthy to talk about her!”

K’s thin lips curled up and he sized Ben up with narrowed eyes. “Why? Am I not worthy, or are you guilty?”

“You took M’s USB drive, didn’t you?”

K’s eyes were cold as he threw out the book that he had taken away from M’s residence that night. Seeing Ben’s expression change, he said, “I’ve already compared the fingerprints against the database in the Ministry of Defense’s laboratory. This book has your fingerprints. What else is there to deny? You’ve been to M’s house!”

“I’m right, aren’t I?”

As Ben stared at the book, his index finger curled slightly. Wu Mei secretly observed the changes in their expressions, trying to obtain more clues.
