In the dead of night, Wu Mei got her hands on the topographic map of the banquet venue. She analyzed the environment and made marks on it.

Based on her intuition as a top special agent, Wu Mei knew that someone would definitely assassinate this high-ranking official from the neighboring country during the banquet. That was why special agents were sent to protect him.

​

After gathering information about this operation from the forum, she organised them and a plan formed in her mind.

As long as she could sneak into the banquet and keep the special agent, who was protecting the high-ranking official, under control temporarily, she would then come to the rescue when the situation was critical!

As long as she succeeded, she would be able to leave an impression on the senior officials of the Ministry of Defense!

They would never let go of any good successors. It was highly likely that they might even offer her a chance to join the secret service.

This was the only key to her return to the world of special agents.

Wu Mei made up her mind. However, she realized that the selection of participants for the banquet was very strict due to safety reasons. Those who could obtain an invitation were all people of status.

"Li Nanchen?"

Her eyes narrowed as she thought of a familiar name. "How did I forget about him?" she murmured.

Li Nanchen would donate a large sum of money every year. He was definitely an invited guest!

She smiled and knocked on the door next door. Without hearing any response, she pushed the door open.

"President Li, I want to talk to you..."

"Yeah?"

Li Nanchen had just finished his night jog. His loose sports jacket made him look more youthful and attractive.

His eyes subtly lit up with some sparks as he stared at the woman who was visiting him in the middle of the night.

Her semi-transparent white shirt loosely covered her graceful figure, revealing her long legs. Her curly hair fell on her chest, making it difficult for one to look away. However, she did not sense that anything was wrong and simply slowly approached Li Nanchen. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"..."

Li Nanchen felt his throat turn slightly hoarse. He threw the towel over her body to cover the revealing parts.

Wu Mei lowered her head in confusion. Realising that her pajamas were too sexy, she smiled and said, "Can you bring me along for the Ministry of Defense's dinner banquet that will be held in a few days?"

"I remember that you didn't like attending banquets in the past."

Li Nanchen furrowed his brows and scrutinized Wu Mei. Her expression was natural and her gaze was honest.

"People change. Besides, I have another motive for attending the banquet."

Li Nanchen raised his brows slightly, indicating for her to continue.

Naturally, Wu Mei sat down beside Li Nanchen. She crossed her legs and looked at him seductively.

"I never told you that I actually liked Agent M... I think there's something fishy about her death."

"How could such a powerful agent die in a plane crash?"

Wu Mei did not hide her entire motive. Only when the truth was mixed in with the lie, could she confuse the other party and render Li Nanchen unable to differentiate them.

"How about I make a deal with you, President Li!"

"As long as you can bring me into the banquet hall and find a way to help me get the attention of the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense and help me to become a special agent, I will help you investigate the truth behind M's death and give her justice!"

Wu Mei tilted her head and looked into Li Nanchen's wavering eyes. "You don't want her to be wronged, do you?"

Li Nanchen was indeed secretly asking his friend about Agent M, but that did not mean that he would agree to Wu Mei's involvement.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to become a special agent? It's not that easy!"

Li Nanchen was worried about Wu Mei's safety. Although he knew that she might have some skills, compared to a group of experts... He did not want to take the risk!

"Oh? You don't believe in my abilities? How about we give it a try?"

Wu Mei pretended to ruffle her hair, but she instantly launched an attack. She removed her hair clip and stabbed it at Li Nanchen. Her movements were fast and swift, stirring up a gust of wind in the air!

The two of them fought in the room and the furniture made banging sounds.

A few minutes later, Li Nanchen seized the opportunity and suddenly restrained her shoulders, pressing her onto the bed!

Both of them were panting heavily.

Wu Mei raised her brows. She lifted her leg and wrapped it around Li Nanchen's waist, using the momentum to push him down. "Impressive, President Li!"

"Thank you for letting me win." Looking at that pair of sly eyes, Li Nanchen was a little dazed as he replied.

Wu Mei could feel both their strengths being locked in a stalemate. If she were to have a head-on clash with him, she could only fight to a draw. She had to rely on her wits!

She looked up at the man's handsome face that was extremely close to her.

The next moment, she moved closer to Li Nanchen's neck and bit his sensitive earlobe.

Instinctively, Li Nanchen tensed up.

This woman!

Wu Mei instantly caught the chink in his armour and broke away from him. She pressed the sharp tip of the hair clip against his artery and smiled.

"You've lost!"

Li Nanchen sat up expressionlessly and said, "You tricked me."

Wu Mei coolly used the hair clip to tie up her hair again and looked back into his eyes. "I will use any means necessary to achieve my goal."

At that moment, she was too dazzling. Li Nanchen could not utter a single word. He could only hear his heart beating wildly.

After a long time, he relented, "Alright, I'll take you there."

Wu Mei smiled smugly. Before she left, she heard Li Nanchen say softly, "Promise me you'll keep yourself safe."

"Don't worry." Wu Mei turned around and smiled mischievously as she said, "Those people won't be able to hurt me."
