After Divorcing, She Shocked the World - Chapter 238
Chapter 238: Bottom Line Test
Wu Mei was unwilling to give the things to K. She kicked the chair aside and sat down. Picking up the teapot, she poured herself a cup of tea and drank it.
“There’s no one else in the room. Why don’t we have a good talk?”
“Why are you so concerned about Ian? What do you want to find on him?”
Wu Mei wiped away the red mark on her lips with her fingers. She revealed a mocking smile and probed, “Could it be that you and Ian had some dirty dealings in private and you did something against your conscience? You were afraid that Ian would betray you, that’s why you followed him here to kill him to silence him!”
“The Ministry of Defense has a common saying that only the dead are the safest.”
Wu Mei deliberately covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised as she pointed at K and said, “Could it be that you killed Ian but want to frame me?”
An impatient expression appeared on K’s face. Seeing that Wu Mei had diverted the topic, he did not follow Wu Mei’s lead.
K lowered his head and wiped the muzzle of the pistol. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Mei’s actions and retorted fiercely, “Don’t forget that you were also at the scene.”
“In terms of motive for murder, you’re more suspicious than me…”
“Your fingerprints should be able to be found in this room. Who do you think will believe your explanation?”
“If I really call the police, you will definitely have to stay in the detention center for a few days.”
K shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, “Even if the Ministry of Defense can investigate and clear your name, I’m afraid you won’t be able to continue with Li Nanchen’s personal protection mission!”
K aimed the gun at Wu Mei again. His patience was clearly exhausted as he said, “I’ll say it one last time. Hand over what you found!”
Due to being threatened by K with a gun, Wu Mei was really a little angry when she heard him. She could only take out the piece of paper and throw it over. “How boring.”
“I just wanted to joke with you. Don’t take it seriously.”
K ignored her words and opened the note.
After he deciphered the simple code and saw the content clearly, he put down the gun with an unreadable expression on his face.
Wu Mei pretended to be nonchalant as she lifted her leg and patted the dust on the tip of her shoe. She looked up and probed, “What’s in the black box that Ian mentioned? The Ministry of Defense’s plane crashed… Is it M’s plane?”
“I heard Ben talk about M before. Could there be something else behind her death…”
K interrupted her coldly and warned her, “There are some things that you can’t know or inquire about. Don’t cross the line!”
Ridicule arose in Wu Mei’s mind. She stood up and dusted her clothes as she said, “Before I enrolled in the Ministry of Defense’s Special Agent Camp, I’d already heard about M’s deeds. Besides, Ben is M’s disciple and I’m Ben’s disciple. She’s also considered my teacher and senior. There’s nothing wrong with me being curious about her, right? But it’s strange that you keep stopping me or even warning me!”
“Based on what I learned in the psychological training class at the Special Agent Camp, you should be deliberately hiding something.”
Wu Mei repeatedly probed around the edge of K’s bottom line. Some emotions surged in K’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed them.
He lowered his head and sent a message to his colleagues in the Ministry of Defense, asking them to rush over to deal with Ian’s corpse.
“Don’t ask anymore.”
K didn’t say anything else and turned to leave the room.
Wu Mei watched him leave. Recalling K’s emotions and actions before he left, she guessed that he might be going to find John based on the information in the agreement.
No! No matter what, she has to find John before K does.
