After Divorcing, She Shocked the World - Chapter 212
Chapter 212: Can’t Be Trapped by Force
In a remote and dilapidated hotel, Wu Mei had found this place based on the address of the message. Warily, she stepped onto the stairs and tiptoed to the outside of the room.
The wooden door was slightly ajar, and she could almost see K’s back facing the door as he stood in front of the window.
Wu Mei narrowed her eyes and took out the dagger she carried with her. Clutching it in her palm, she apprehensively kicked the door open and said in a mocking tone, “Has the Ministry of Defense not given you a salary recently? A high-ranking Special Agent asking me to meet you at a place like this? It’ll be a joke if word gets out!”
K turned his head, his dark eyes cold in the night. He raised his hand and tugged on a transparent fishing line by the window.
Wu Mei’s sharp senses caught his actions. She quickly sidestepped and rolled to dodge the vase that had fallen from above. The shattered smithereens splashed onto her body, causing some wounds that bled. Like a cheetah, K seized the opportunity to restrain Wu Mei. The two of them fought in close combat.
“Is this why you called me here?”
Wu Mei knew K too well. She knew that K would definitely not let the matter rest just because he was puzzled. He had made sufficient preparations in advance.
The two of them were entangled in a fight. Wu Mei swung her fist and hit K between the eyebrows. He staggered two steps back in pain and interrogated her coldly with bloodshot eyes, “What exactly happened at the bar that night?! You wanted to hypnotize me. What exactly do you want to know?”
“Did Ben ask you to come?”
K’s movements were swift and fierce, but he only wanted to restrain Wu Mei. His punches did not bear any killing intent.
Ruthlessness appeared in Wu Mei’s eyes. Needless to say, she had the upper hand as she was using killer moves to suppress him. Her red lips curled up as she asked coldly, “What’s the secret between Ben and you? Is that why you’re so guilty as to slander him and accuse him recklessly?”
Wu Mei could tell that K did not have any conclusive evidence in his hand. Her movements gradually slowed down as she enticed and broke down K’s psychological defenses.
“We’re partners. That night at the bar, I saw you getting drunk. I just wanted you to rest in the room…”
“But when I helped you into the room, you kept muttering something about M and saying many things that I didn’t understand. You even attacked me!”
Wu Mei’s explanation made K stop attacking. His eyes were filled with confusion and suspicion as he listened to her story.
“I picked up the hairpin outside the Ministry of Defense’s Special Agent warehouse. I knew that it was something good, so I kept it with me.”
“Perhaps it fell to the ground while I was dodging your attacks and you found it the next day…”
Wu Mei looked straight at K without wavering even for a moment. “You and I are working together. What benefits can I get by hurting you?”
“If you continue to pester me like this and even deliberately lure me out to kill me, I’ll tell Ben everything, including the fact that you hired me to secretly monitor him!” Wu Mei threatened as K clearly forced her hand.
K stared at her expression seriously and confirmed that she was not lying. He still did not lay his suspicions to rest and asked, “In that case, shouldn’t you report Ben’s recent whereabouts and situation to me? To show your sincerity in cooperating?”
Wu Mei’s brows furrowed coldly. She waved the wound on her arm in front of K and retorted, “You wanted to take my life just now!”
“I need to think about whether I should continue working with you.”
“After all, when both parties don’t have any trust in each other, working together is dangerous. I don’t want to do a business deal that will incur losses!”
