《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 169: Sneak Attack at the Villa
Advertisement
"President Li? What's wrong?"
Sensing that Li Nanchen's condition was amiss, Feng Yue hurriedly ran to his side. Warily, she scanned the surroundings to confirm if there were any mercenaries or assassins lurking in the villa, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. However, very quickly, Feng Yue confirmed that Li Nanchen had taken a small amount of medicine that could numb one's nerves and there was not much of a problem.
Relaxing, she looked at Li Nanchen who was unable to move. An alluring thought appeared in her mind!
Right now, Li Nanchen can't fight back. Why not take this opportunity to do something to him?
"President Li, you seem to be in a lot of pain. Why don't you let me help you!"
Feng Yue undid the strap of her dress, revealing the skin on her shoulders. She leaned over and wanted to lie on Li Nanchen's chest. Her fingertips caressed Li Nanchen's inner thigh. Feeling his firm muscles, she could not help but say seductively, "I can do whatever Wu Mei can!"
"President Li, I will make you happier..."
Clenching his teeth, Li Nanchen glanced at the glass vase in his hand out of the corner of his eye. He used all his remaining strength to push it down.
The glass vase smashed onto the ground and shattered into countless pieces. Li Nanchen's arm slumped to the ground. He then picked up a shard of sharp glass with his fingertips and pierced it into his palm. The intense pain made him regain some consciousness. He forced himself to stand up and shoved Feng Yue away from him.
Feng Yue saw that Li Nanchen's fingertips were dripping with blood. Alarmed by his actions of using self-harm to regain consciousness, she did not dare to approach him again.

Bang, bang...
Two gunshots rang out in the courtyard. Feng Yue and Li Nanchen looked towards the door at the same time and saw that a few mercenaries had already broken through the defense line and were firing indiscriminately with their machine guns! Li Nanchen hid behind the sofa and fell heavily onto the ground. The poison in his blood paralyzed his body again, making it impossible for him to move. Looking at the glass fragments all over the floor, he abruptly pounced over...
The pain in his arm and back allowed Li Nanchen to regain some mobility. He picked up the gun on the ground and fired accurately.
Feng Yue did not dare to relax at all. On the one hand, she contacted the Special Agents stationed outside through the wireless communicator. On the other hand, she ran to Li Nanchen's side and protected him. The mercenaries rushed in with bloodshot eyes. Their movements were violent and ferocious. Feng Yue's melee combat ability was weak, and the two of them quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that a mercenary had gone behind Li Nanchen, Feng Yue shouted loudly and raised her gun to shoot him down.
However, before he fell to the ground, the other party still managed to pull the trigger. The bullet tore through the air and pierced into Li Nanchen's forearm...
After a series of intense battles, the Special Agents outside finally forced the mercenaries to retreat. When they ran in to provide support, the first thing they saw was Li Nanchen's serious injuries. They could not help but be shocked as they helped Li Nanchen stand up. They looked at Feng Yue and asked, "What's going on? Where's the doctor?"
They had some understanding of Li Nanchen's combat ability. Even if he fought alone, he would not have lost so terribly, what more with Feng Yue protecting him!

Feng Yue did not know how to explain. She thought of the two doctors in the Li family—Lin Liguo and Bi Fang. With their current condition, they probably can't even take care of themselves. How can they possibly provide timely treatment for Li Nanchen?
She thought of Wu Mei. Although she was extremely unwilling, she still found a way to contact Wu Mei to report the situation in the villa.
Ring... Ring...
No one picked up the phone. Feng Yue muttered impatiently, "As the commander, she actually made the mistake of being uncontactable! She has to be responsible for this accident! President Li, I'll inform..."
Li Nanchen used his hand to press on his wound as he said weakly, "Clean up the living room and the outside!"
"Don't let the Old Master know that I'm injured. Send me to the hospital."
Hearing his orders, Feng Yue could only choose to obey and help him get into the SUV outside. On the way to the hospital, Feng Yue contacted Ben to give a detailed report on the situation of the villa being attacked by the mercenaries. She also mentioned that she could not contact Wu Mei.
At the same time, Wu Mei drove to the villa. She could acutely sense that there was something strange in the yard and living room.
She quickly ran to the second floor and pushed open the door to Li Nanchen's bedroom. However, she did not see him. An uneasy feeling rose in Wu Mei's heart. She pushed open the door to the study and the guest room but did not find Li Nanchen.
Wu Mei turned on her phone and wanted to call him, but she realized that dozens of missed calls from Feng Yue had popped up!

Cornucopia of Hope
The graduating class of Hope's Peak Academy has been kidnapped sometime after their graduation ceremony. They wake up in a beautiful, plush mansion with no idea where they could be other than the name Our Mansion of Plenty. The physical barriers of steel plates and locked doors might not be enough to cage them, if it weren't for the malicious mechanical fairy calling itself The Fey and ruling their new lives with an iron--albeit tiny--fist. While being kidnapped is bad enough, the fact that this fairy brat is telling them to kill each other is definitely worse. Apparently, murdering one of your fellow victims is the only way to get out of this luxurious mansion. But nobody would do that...right? Cornucopia of Hope is a non-canon killing game completely alienated from the the canon universe of the Danganronpa games. The things borrowed from the games are as followed: Hope's Peak Academy, and the structure of 16ish hyper-skilled teenagers trapped in an enclosed space and being subjected to a motive, a murder, an investigation, a trial, and an execution of the presumed killer. There are no spoilers, tie ins, or previous knowledge required of the series to read this story!
