Based on her understanding of Li Nanchen, Wu Mei felt that something was amiss.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly halted in her tracks and rushed back to Li Nanchen's side. She squatted down and wanted to lift up his jacket to check on his injury.

"Are you injured?"

"No."

Li Nanchen held her hand and wanted to reject her. The two of them competed with each other.

Wu Mei was getting impatient. She pushed down his elbow and removed his coat with brute force. When she saw the blood spreading out from his abdomen, she instantly frowned and turned her head to say, "Medical kit!"

"Oh..."

.

Zhong Ling rummaged through the emergency first-aid kit and handed it to her.

Wu Mei immediately tore his shirt open and looked at the embedded bullet. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid."

Li Nanchen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "But I'm more afraid that I won't be able to see you. I owe you an apology."

He placed all of his weight on Wu Mei's shoulders and his hands rested on her fair legs. His hot breath due to his injury, brushed against Wu Mei's sensitive earlobe.

Wu Mei wanted to push him away, but because of his serious injuries, she gently shoved at his chest.

"I can't see the wound anymore. Move away from me."

"So heartless."

Li Nanchen chuckled and obediently leaned against the off-road vehicle's exhaust pipe. He placed his hand on his knee so that it was easier for her to manage.

The overly flirtatious atmosphere between the two made Zhong Ling cover her eyes shyly. She turned around and observed the surroundings for them.

Wu Mei snorted and disinfected the forceps with alcohol. She looked up and said, "Bear with it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the bullet out of Li Nanchen's body, and blood gushed out along with it...

Wu Mei quickly pressed on the wound with a bandage. Li Nanchen gritted his teeth and groaned. Cold sweat trickled down his face and his body trembled uncontrollably...

"You... are venting your anger in revenge?"

He asked in a teasing manner to alleviate Wu Mei's nervousness.

Her movements became slightly gentler as she bandaged the wound. She glanced at the people who were tied up.

Li Nanchen followed her line of sight and said weakly, "They're drug dealers. There are several kilograms of drugs in the car and on their bodies. You and your partner can bring them back and hand them over to the Ministry of Defence to claim credit. It should be able to help you make up for the delay because of me, right?"

"However, we need to keep the two leaders. I need to ask them something."

Li Nanchen shot his subordinates a look and said, "Continue to follow the original plan. Don't bother about me. Leave the car."

"Yes!"

His subordinates looked at Wu Mei and him in confusion, but they did not dare to ask anything and left in a hurry.

Wu Mei quietly listened to his arrangements and focused on suturing the wound. Li Nanchen sucked in a deep breath as the needle pierced through his flesh.

She looked up and said sarcastically, "If you want to be a hero, don't be afraid of pain."

Li Nanchen was stunned. He immediately understood that she was talking about today's situation as well as the day he took the blame for her...

"Director Xu said that Grandpa's body functions are slowly recovering."

"Grandfather is awake. He told me to—"

Li Nanchen was about to say something when he saw Wu Mei pass him the needle and thread before standing up.

She wiped the blood on her fingertips and said, "I'll take those drug dealers as you doing me a favor and accept it."

"But I need to continue with my mission. I can't help you clean up your mess here. Can you do it yourself?" she turned around and asked. Wu Mei and Zhong Ling exchanged glances. They knew that there was no danger nearby and they had repeatedly checked the functions of the vehicle. The rear tires on the right side were slightly worn, but it would not affect the driving. It was enough for Li Nanchen to get out of the rainforest. Li Nanchen held onto the car and stood up. He picked up the tattered shirt and tied it around his waist.

He glanced up. A teasing smile danced across his lips as he shrugged lightly and said, "Sure. Of course I can."

"A man can never say that he can't do it."

Li Nanchen did not look serious at all. His face was pale as he waved his hand to chase her away.

Wu Mei glared at him and turned back to look at Zhong Ling, whose ears had turned red. She waved her fist in warning and picked up her backpack from the ground. Then, she and Zhong Ling went back on their way to the training camp. After taking a few steps, she turned back to look in the direction of the off-road vehicle...

Under the quiet moonlight, Li Nanchen gazed deeply at her. His lips curled up into a smile as he waved his hand at her.

"You deserve it!" Wu Mei cursed with mixed feelings.

Zhong Ling held her arm and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

"No."

At the thought of the divorce agreement, Wu Mei snapped out of it. She kicked the drug dealers beside her and said coldly, "Don't dilly dally. Hurry up!"
