After Divorcing, She Shocked the World

Half an hour later, Li Nanchen woke up.

Wu Mei looked up and threw two portions of field ration over. “Your physical fitness is not bad,” she said softly.

“Thank you.”

Li Nanchen tore open the packaging and realized that the bandage around his waist had been changed again. He pursed his thin lips and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Ordinary people who got shot would have to stay in bed for three to four months.

However, Li Nanchen did not have the time or energy to recuperate. He had to return to the Li Corporation’s branch company at the border as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

.

Sensing Wu Mei’s curious gaze, he picked up the thermos on the bedside table and took two sips of water to moisten his throat.

His gaze seemed to have hooks in them.

Wu Mei gritted her teeth. She could tell that Li Nanchen was intentionally teasing her and did not say anything.

Li Nanchen paused for a moment before apologizing sincerely, “I’m sorry. In the hospital, I had no other choice but to choose to…”

Seeing that he was about to bring up an old subject again, Wu Mei stood up and turned her back to him, cutting off the conversation.

She didn’t want to hear about the past anymore. She tucked a few pieces of gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine into a plastic bag and asked, “Why did you come to the border again?”

Li Nanchen coughed violently. The pain from his broken ribs made him gasp for air.

Wu Mei stared at him worriedly while Li Nanchen suppressed his laughter and said, “Half a month ago, the headquarters received news that there was a change in the situation of the branch company at the border. I sent people to investigate in secret and found out that a group of drug dealers at the border had kidnapped the whole family of the branch company’s General Manager. They detained his wife, children, and old folks so that they could threaten him…”

“He forced the General Manager to become their puppet and follow their arrangements. They mixed their drugs with the goods exported by the Li Corporation and transported them out.”

Li Nanchen’s voice became softer and softer. He paused for a moment before continuing, “You know how serious the crime of smuggling and selling drugs is. If discovered, the Li Corporation’s reputation will be implicated. No matter how we explain, people will still use it against us and deliberately smear us. Therefore, I can only come to the border personally to deal with it.”

“Yesterday, I took advantage of the chaos to confiscate their drugs. I caught quite a few of their men.”

“The split operation also managed to rescue the General Manager’s family. It might have forced the drug dealers into a corner. Today, they wanted to snatch back the drugs, so they deliberately lured us to the rainforest. Thus the gunfight you witnessed…”

After Li Nanchen finished explaining, he was sweating profusely and his face was paler than before.

Wu Mei quickly sorted out the situation, but she noticed the loopholes and suspicious points. Narrowing her eyes, she looked at him and said, “With your alertness and vigilance, it would be impossible for them to deliberately lure you into a trap. Unless, you deliberately went along with their plan…” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

“You wanted to capture the rest of the drug dealers and wipe them out?” Wu Mei concluded. Li Nanchen lowered his head and chuckled. He shook his head and gently pressed his fingers against the bed. He seemed to be able to smell her familiar scent.

“I can’t hide anything from you.”

He looked up with a determined gaze. “The drugs sold by the drug dealers at the border affect tens of millions of people every year. Countless families are broken because of them. Many children at the border are influenced by them from a young age and grow up to become drug dealers.”

“Since I’m involved in this matter, I should settle it properly.”

Li Nanchen’s righteous manner stunned Wu Mei and she immediately smiled.

She didn’t know if she should mock his courage and naivety for trying to destroy the drug gang alone or admire him for maintaining his hot-bloodedness and believing that the world was divided between good and evil. With mixed feelings, Wu Mei looked away. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Outside the dormitory, Bai Xue was holding the name list as she checked the dormitory.

From afar, she saw Zhong Ling standing at the door, looking around with a nervous expression. She felt that something was amiss, so she skipped past the few dormitories in the middle and went straight to their door.

“What are you doing out here so late? Where’s Wu Mei?”

“I came out to wash my face and breathe some fresh air. She… she’s sleeping in the room!”

Zhong Ling was guilty and deliberately raised her voice a few notches higher. Her suspicious actions confirmed Bai Xue’s suspicion that something must be wrong!

Bai Xue immediately wanted to barge in. Zhong Ling mustered up her courage and stopped her. She shouted at the top of her lungs, “Instructor! Wu Mei is already asleep. It’s not very respectful of you to barge in recklessly, right? Hah… This won’t do!”

“Move aside!”

Bai Xue was anxious. She pushed Zhong Ling away and lifted the curtain. She kicked open the door and barged in.
