《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 89 - Gunfight And Lost Her
Advertisement
The SUV was filled with awkwardness and silence as it travelled quietly.
Li Nanchen pursed his thin lips and stared fixedly at the back of K's head. Wu Mei leaned against the window tiredly.
The driver tried to turn on the car's stereo to play some music to alleviate the tension, but K, who was in the passenger seat, turned it off and said, "So noisy."
Wu Mei closed her eyes and recalled what had happened in the past ten days or so.
From the first time she met Zhong Ling in the Special Agent Camp, to the time she miscalculated and killed Zhong Ling with the gun, to the time Zhong Ling's body mysteriously disappeared... It was as if there was an invisible web. However, Wu Mei could not figure out what it was. She couldn't get rid of that cloud of confusion no matter how she tried!
"Don't think too much. The most important mission right now is to protect me!"
Li Nanchen could sense her emotions. Due to K's presence, he could only gently squeeze her palm and use a commanding tone to convey his concern.
Wu Mei forced a smile and nodded.
Outside the window, a van drove towards them. A woman with loose curly hair rolled down the window, revealing her side profile.
Wu Mei sat up straight in shock and even stuck her head out to verify. She shouted in a sharp and rapid voice, "Turn around! Go after that car! Hurry up!"
"What's wrong?"
"I think it's Zhong Ling! She's in that van!" Wu Mei wanted to snatch the steering wheel. The driver slammed on the brakes and turned around, chasing after the van at high speed.
As the two cars got closer, the seemingly ordinary van suddenly sped up and shook them off.

Frowning, K took out the pistol he always carried with him and said, "Their cars have been modified. It's very likely that they have heavy weapons and bullet-proof glass. Be careful!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
On the two-way street, a few bullets came from the other side and shattered the SUV's windshield!
"There's an ambush!"
Wu Mei saw a heavy-duty motorcycle and a van coming from two different directions. All the enemies were wearing helmets and masks!
They were carrying guns and metal batons as they surrounded the few of them in provocation.
"Are they the accomplices of the people in that van or the people chasing after Li Nanchen?"
"No matter who it is, they are all people who want our lives!" Wu Mei couldn't be bothered to respond to K's question and pulled out her gun.
When she stuck her head out slightly, countless bullets were aimed at her and fired. The ordinary glass shattered.
Li Nanchen raised his arm to shield her in his arms. A few pieces of the glass cut him and he bled. When he met Wu Mei's worried eyes, he smiled and comforted her, "I'm fine."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The other party consciously attacked the driver. Soon, the driver fainted from the gunshot. The SUV lost control and spun on the road, and was about to crash into the guardrail!
Using his left hand to grab the steering wheel, K picked up the driver and threw him into the passenger seat. He nimbly changed seats and threw the gun he carried with him to Wu Mei.
"I'll leave it to you! Contact the Ministry of Defense and ask for backup! Just the three of us won't do..."
"It's too late!"
Wu Mei hung Li Nanchen's jacket out of the window and looked at the jacket that had been shot into a beehive. She accurately followed the direction and angle of the shots and pulled the trigger. Four consecutive bullets pierced through the driver of the motorcycle. She watched as the motorcycle crashed onto the road and into the van that did not have the time to change direction. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face.

"Li Nanchen, make the call!"
Wu Mei took out her hairband and tied her hair up. "K, drive the car closer!"
K narrowed his eyes and cooperated with her. With his superb driving skills, Wu Mei could aim at the other party's fuel tank in an extremely stable posture...
Five seconds later, flames soared into the sky!
A few cars were engulfed in a sea of fire. The Ministry of Defense's operation team had also turned on their sirens and rushed over to deal with the situation...
After finding out that Li Nanchen's identity was special, the police arranged for a car to clear the way for him. Wu Mei, who was doing some basic treatment of her wound, pounded on the back of the passenger seat in frustration.
"I lost her!"
Li Nanchen held her fist in his palm and comforted her with a frown, "You've already done very well."
"If it's really Zhong Ling... If she's still alive, it means that the Kun Sha drug trafficking case isn't completely over!" Wu Mei's eyes were bloodshot as she roared in agitation.
Li Nanchen sighed and pulled her into his arms. He patted her gently and said, "Perhaps you saw wrongly because of the bad condition that you're in."
"Or maybe you were hallucinating but thought it was reality!"
Wu Mei shook her head. Her gaze was cold and no one knew what she was thinking.
...
They drove for a long time before they finally arrived at the villa. Li Nanchen accompanied Wu Mei to compose herself while K left first as he had something on.
"Go on in. I'll be there in a while."
Wu Mei pushed Li Nanchen's shoulder, wanting some privacy.
Li Nanchen nodded. When he stepped into the villa to get the butler to prepare some toiletries for Wu Mei, he saw a woman bolting towards him...
"Brother Nanchen!"
"Why are you here?" Li Nanchen's brows furrowed as he questioned Lin Piaopiao.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
