In the Li Family's villa, the tent that had been set up in the empty courtyard swayed in the cold wind.

Feng Yue's face was ashen as she looked at the bodyguards surrounding her. She hid in a corner and called Bai Xue via video call. Under the pretext of reporting on the progress of the mission, she secretly slandered Wu Mei, "Instructor, I saw her walk out of Li Nanchen's room with my own eyes. They must have an illicit relationship!"

"As a Special Agent for the Ministry of Defense, Wu Mei seducing Li Nanchen with her beauty has already caused an extremely adverse impact."

"Wu Mei's protection mission should be terminated immediately. It's best to replace her with someone else..."

Knowing Feng Yue's intentions, Bai Xue casually said a few perfunctory words before hanging up. When she turned around, she saw Ben sitting beside her. Her eyes darted around as she sowed discord, "Even if your good disciple is somewhat capable, her reputation is so bad that even her colleagues are dissatisfied with her. It'll be difficult for her to survive in the future, won't it?"

"Our profession requires us to rely on our fellow comrades and not fight alone."

When Ben heard Bai Xue's words, he frowned and grabbed his jacket before rushing out of the hotel. In the pitch-black night, he stepped on the accelerator all the way to the ground. After beating a few red lights, he thought of Wu Mei with a dark expression.

She is my only disciple. I have to ensure she creates a legacy in the Ministry of Defense!

For Wu Mei to be the best agent in the Ministry of Defense, she cannot let her emotions affect the development of her career!

When Ben arrived at the Li Family's villa, he avoided the hidden sentry at the bodyguards' station and leapt straight into Wu Mei's room from the balcony outside. He gently landed on the ground and wanted to sneak in, but a cold dagger was pressed against his neck. Wu Mei narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Who is it!"

The dark clouds dispersed and a ray of moonlight shone on Ben.

Wu Mei released the dagger and looked back at the sleeping Mother Wu. She said, "Come with me!"

The two of them went to the open-air garden on the second floor of the Li Family's villa. Ben looked down at Wu Mei and saw the bruises on her exposed skin. Putting on his Mentor demeanor, he lectured her, "You're my disciple. I have high expectations for you. Don't disappoint me."

"As a Special Agent, you definitely can't let your emotions control your rationality. Keep your distance from Li Nanchen. Don't let him affect your career development..."

As Wu Mei listened to Ben's baffling words, she felt a gust of cold wind blow over. She crossed her arms and gently rubbed them together to keep herself warm as she asked, "What's the matter?"

"Special agents are not humans? My feelings will never affect the mission, and I don't need you to judge me!"

"You are my Mentor, that's all. Even my biological father has no right to make the decision for me to stay away from or get close to anyone!"

"Could this be what your Mentor taught you?"

At the mention of M, Ben's expression immediately changed to one of anger. He quickly leapt out of the balcony and left the villa.

Bi Fang got so hungry in the middle of the night that he wanted to find some snacks. He came out of the bedroom rubbing his bleary eyes and coincidentally bumped into the scene in front of him. In that instant, although he could only make out a blurry back, he could still confirm that the person who came was Ben!

"He's also from the Ministry of Defense?"

Bi Fang walked to Wu Mei's side and took the initiative to ask, "What's his relationship with you? Why did he come to the villa to find you so late at night?"

Wu Mei shrugged and explained with a relaxed expression, "In the Ministry of Defense's internal system, he's considered my Mentor."

Sensing Wu Mei's inquisitive gaze, Bi Fang's cold expression softened as he explained, "He and I are both M's disciples, so we can be considered fellow disciples. We had some relations in the past, but after M died, he and I stopped contacting each other."

"I didn't expect to meet him again in this way..."

A strange expression flashed across Bi Fang's eyes. He squeezed out a smile and asked, "May I ask you to arrange a meal for us? Take it as letting us fellow disciples sit down to have a good chat and reminisce about the past."

Wu Mei frowned and tried to recall her past memories. In her impression, Bi Fang and Ben were not on good terms at all and would fight whenever they met.

He suddenly requested to arrange for a meal together?

Wu Mei had doubts in her heart, but when she saw Bi Fang's sincere gaze and thought that he might have his reasons, she did not refuse.

She returned to the bedroom and hesitantly pushed open the door to Li Nanchen's room. He looked surprised and wanted to hug her waist and throw himself on her. Wu Mei quickly covered his mouth and said, "There's a serious matter."

Li Nanchen stared longingly and aggressively at her red lips. He nodded and quietly listened to her thoughts.

"We can invite them to gather together under the pretext of thanking the Special Agents for their protection. What do you think...?"

Before Wu Mei could finish speaking, Li Nanchen could not help but kiss her lips.. In a muffled voice, he replied, "I'll listen to you."
