After Divorcing, She Shocked the World - Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Blaming Everyone

In the ward, a ray of sunlight shone in through the French windows, forming two different colors in the room.

Sitting in the bright golden light, Wu Meifelt Li Nanchen’s gaze on her and raised her head to look at him. Puzzled, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Nanchen subconsciously shifted his gaze away. Immediately, he sighed helplessly. The resentment and jealousy that had been lodged in his chest for the past few days had mostly disappeared. He pretended to inadvertently mention the day of his injury. “Before the mercenaries and assassins attacked, someone put something in the medicine I drank.”

“It should be a medicinal powder that can temporarily paralyze a person and can be mixed into the daily medicine…”

Li Nanchen’s words made Wu Mei frown. She lifted Li Nanchen’s palm and looked at the two scars on his palm. She asked, “Who is it?”

“I’m not sure.”

Wu Mei stood up angrily and pushed open the door to find Feng Yue who was standing in the corridor. She grabbed Feng Yue by the collar and forced her to a corner of the stairwell.

Sensing the anger surrounding her, Feng Yue was so frightened that she wanted to resist, but she couldn’t escape. She deliberately raised her voice and questioned, “You want to kill me?”

Wu Mei couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on her. A cold glint flashed across her eyes as she asked, “Was it you who drugged Li Nanchen?”

Feng Yue recalled what had happened that day and denied, “It wasn’t me! I was carrying out a personal protection mission. How could I have harmed him with poison?”

“If a Special Agent from the Ministry of Defense is found to have secretly harmed their protection target, they will be chased out of the Special Agent Camp. How can I be stupid enough to gamble with my future?”

Wu Mei stared fixedly into Feng Yue’s eyes. After confirming that Feng Yue was not lying, she let her go.

Who on earth was it? Could there be another mercenary spy who snuck into the villa?

Three days later, Li Nanchen was discharged from the hospital and returned to the villa with Wu Mei and Feng Yue.

His body had recovered quite well. There were no signs of serious injuries on the surface.

Old Master Li was waiting in the courtyard in advance. He looked at them anxiously and rolled his wheelchair towards Li Nanchen. He hurriedly grabbed Li Nanchen’s hand and asked, “Are you guys alright? I heard from them that you guys ran into danger!”

Wu Mei frowned and glared at the bodyguards and Special Agent standing around them. They actually ran to Grandpa and spouted nonsense?

Li Nanchen squatted in front of Old Master Li and tugged on his wound while down. His expression revealed some pain, but he quickly concealed it.

“We’re all standing in front of you perfectly fine. Does it look like we ran into danger?”

Wu Mei gently held Li Nanchen’s arm and helped him up. She gently leaned her head on his shoulder and coaxed Old Master Li, “Actually, Li Nanchen and I went on a holiday the past few days! It was a last-minute trip so I didn’t have the time to tell you about it…”

Doubt flashed across Old Master Li’s eyes, but he quickly believed Wu Mei’s words.

His withered and old hands held Wu Mei’s palms tightly as he patted them gently. He urged her from the bottom of his heart, “A vacation is good!”

“You guys should have some time alone together. Lass, try to get pregnant as soon as possible. Grandpa has been wanting to have a great-grandson for a long time!”

“If I can see my great-grandson, Grandpa will definitely recover!”

Old Master Li’s pressurising words made Wu Mei feel a little awkward. However, Li Nanchen agreed with a smile as he pushed Old Master Li’s wheelchair into the house, “Okay, we will work hard. But you also have to recuperate…”

Wu Mei glared at Li Nanchen reproachfully and asked him to send the Old Master back to his room.

In the living room, Wu Mei sat on the sofa and gathered everyone in the villa. Sheng Hongfei and Li Zhuo’s family sat beside her and quietly watched as Wu Mei asked the servants and butlers what they had done on the day of the incident, “Who went to the kitchen that day?”

“If you confess or report any useful clues now, I can make allowances when dealing with this.”

Sheng Hongfei clenched her fists nervously. Her eyes darted around twice before she said guiltily and harshly, “Look at this situation. She seems to be the mistress of the Li family… Since when are outsiders in charge of the Li family’s affairs?”

Li Nanchen glanced coldly at the relatives from the second branch and said, “I allowed it. Do you have any objections?”

Sheng Hongfei was speechless and could only shut up.

The servant who was standing at the back row was a little hesitant, but she quickly raised her hand and said softly, “That day, Auntie Wu seemed to have put something in President Li’s medicine in the kitchen. I saw it!”

Wu Mei was stunned. However, Sheng Hongfei acted like she had caught a handle on Wu Mei and immediately jumped up to accuse her, “I didn’t expect this!”

“So your mother wanted to harm Li Nanchen and you found out about it yourself. Are you going to cover up for her?”

Sheng Hongfei shrieked, “I think we should chase unrelated personnel out of the villa. Otherwise, Mother Wu will go crazy and harm someone one day…”
