《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 39: Becoming a Special Agent for Him
Advertisement
Relying on her petite body, Wu Mei dodged the other party's shots. After firing a few shots, she temporarily stopped behind the wine cabinet in the banquet hall to rest.
"Come out! You're the only one here. Do you think you can defeat us?" The leader of the assassins said in a clear voice.
Wu Mei looked at the blood flowing out of her arm and picked up two pieces of fabric from the ground. She wrapped them around her arm and her breathing gradually recovered.
"Hey, if you want to kill someone here, you have to ask me for permission!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Wu Mei saw the assassin who was about to find her location. She quickly rushed out and grabbed his neck, making him suffocate and faint. She used him as a shield and snatched his gun.
She did this within two to three seconds, catching the assassin leader off guard and he no longer dared to underestimate her.
"You don't want him to die, do you?" The leader threatened.
The high-ranking official from the neighboring country cried out, "Help!"
There were five assassins left.
The burly man beside the leader of the assassins was the strongest. He needed to be dealt with last!
Wu Mei analyzed the situation and said with a smile, "You guys haven't killed him yet, so you probably want to keep him alive! Sorry, but you can't take him away!"
Bang!
Bang!
Wu Mei pushed out the hostage in her hand and accurately fired two shots at the assassin!
At the same time, the hostage in her hand was also shot into a beehive. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Using the terrain as cover, Wu Mei fired three shots from three different angles. The assassins around the leader all collapsed onto the ground, leaving only the burly man.

"Who on earth are you?!" The leader sounded a little panicked. He did not expect such an expert to be here. They had thought that they were just ordinary special agents.
Wu Mei sneered and did not reply. Just as she was about to shoot the burly man, she suddenly heard a gunshot.
She instinctively turned around and saw that Li Nanchen was holding a gun up. His expression was cold as he aimed it behind her.
Behind Wu Mei, the assassin who had gone around and approached her, collapsed onto the ground and spat out blood.
He seemed to be a ninja, His breathing was concealed and his footsteps were so light that Wu Mei nearly fell for his trap.
Li Nanchen and Wu Mei tacitly exchanged glances.
With their backs pressed against each other, they pulled out their guns to defend themselves.
The assassin leader wanted to take the high-ranking official hostage and leave, but Wu Mei fired using a small handheld gun, piercing the leader's wrist that was holding the gun.
The assassin leader knelt on one knee and the high-ranking official seized the opportunity to escape.
Wu Mei focused her attention and fired another shot. The burly man fell to the ground. She did not even give the leader a moment to catch his breath before she pushed the high-ranking official from the neighboring country to safety and held the leader onto the ground!
This farce had finally come to an end...
When Li Nanchen saw Wu Mei's decisive actions, he could not help but be stunned. He thought of that flamboyant and charming figure that he had met at the country's border.
The high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Defense looked at Wu Mei with admiration in their eyes. They took the initiative to approach her.

"You guys bring him back first."
After the high-ranking official from the neighboring country left, he looked at Wu Mei again and asked, "Madam, you've really been a great help to us. If you need anything or want any reward, feel free to ask. We will apply for it for you."
Wu Mei revealed a curious expression and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to be a special agent. Do you think I have a chance to be a female agent?"
She pretended to be innocent.
The high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Defense exchanged glances with each other.
Wu Mei knew that they had doubts in their hearts. She raised her hand and pointed at Li Nanchen as she spoke affectionately, "Because my husband used to like a female special agent, I also hope to gain his favor, so I thought that if I have the chance, I could do the same job."
Perhaps it was because Wu Mei's acting skills were too good, but when Li Nanchen heard this, he froze and held his breath.
"Since you are President Li's wife, we are happy to fulfill your wish. In half a month's time, the selection for the new agents recruited by the Ministry of Defense will begin."
"You can take our recommendation letter and participate with them. But whether or not you succeed will depend on your abilities!"
The high-ranking official from the Ministry of Defence immediately agreed. On the other hand, Wu Mei was in a good mood after receiving this privilege pass.
Walking out of the banquet hall, Li Nanchen suddenly grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall. He lowered his head and used his deep eyes to try and look into her heart.
"Do you really want to be a special agent because of me?"
When Li Nanchen said this, he was slightly expectant and nervous.
Wu Mei looked up at him and suddenly smiled. She raised her eyebrows and patted his chin gently.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I was lying to them!"
"How can I get the pass if I don't make up a story that's miserable yet romantic?"
Wu Mei waved the recommendation letter in her hand. However, Li Nanchen's heart sank and he let her go.
Buzz...
Wu Mei had taken two steps forward when she heard the phone vibrate. She turned around and saw Li Nanchen's face fall.
On the other end of the line, the doctor said coldly, "Mr Li, you need to come to the hospital as soon as possible. Old Master Li is critically ill and vomiting blood. His condition is serious... I'm afraid he won't be able to make it."

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.

The Head That Wears The Crown
It's a tale as old as time. Boy goes to funeral. Boy gets sucked into a different world. Boy has to lead a settlement. Boy has to lead a settlement? Boy has to lead a settlement. This is a story about that settlement, and some other stuff. Maybe. Disclaimer: Not sure if it qualifies enough for a gore tag. There is a description of someone's death somewhere in this, but I don't think it is descriptive enough to justify a gore tag. Disclaimer part deux: I initially started writing this as background for another story but got so into it I just ended fleshing it out a bit. Disclaimer part tres: People love reading disclaimers don't they? It's why I've included so many. They're just for you. Disclaimer part four: I know, this is getting egregious. You're starting to find it less funny. Just wait till the twentieth disclaimer, it will start being funny again. Disclaimer part five: I'm kidding, this is the last one. I don't promise I'll read every comment or message, but I certainly welcome your feedback. Disclaimer part six: I lied, it wasn't the last one. I wrote this story without breaking it down into chapters. It just goes, that means that the chapter ends when it ends, not when there is a convenient break in the story. That means that it's very annoying for you as a reader since chapters can end mid sentence. Hah! Sucker! Disclaimer part seven: Get ready for slow updates. Who knows when this will continue. Toss it on read later and come back in fifty years. Disclaimer part eight: Cover Photo by Arthur Ogleznev on Unsplash
