After Divorcing, She Shocked the World

Chapter 87: Bounty to Kill Him

“Sir! Something unexpected has happened!”

The intelligence officer from the Ministry of Defense rushed into the hall in a panic-stricken and serious state. He handed the freshly-printed information to the high-ranking official and stole a glance at Li Nanchen, who was quietly seated below the stage.

Based on the information they had gathered on the Darknet, someone had put up a bounty for Li Nanchen’s head half an hour ago.

As long as they could kill him, they would receive a huge bounty!

“President Li, please come over here!”

The high-ranking official placed great importance on this. Li Nanchen took the document and scanned through the information on the bounty. His eyes narrowed.

“It’s very likely that the news of you being the commander for the mission to eradicate Kun Sha’s drug cartel was leaked… It’s probably becaused Kun Sha’s underground allies overseas are dissatisfied with you, that’s why they issued such a bounty!”

“The assassins and mercenaries overseas might pose a threat to your safety in the near future.”

“As partners in this operation, we have a responsibility to protect you,” the high-ranking official immediately said, for fear that Li Nanchen would be dissatisfied with their protection operation. Looking at the few senior Special Agents who were present and idling around, he said, “We will send our best and most experienced special agents to protect you round the clock! You will definitely not be in any danger.”

The senior special agents, including K, had all carried out missions to protect the leader of the country previously. Yet, they were all finding various reasons to decline right now.

“I need to investigate some things recently, I’m afraid I don’t have time,” K refused straight out.

The other senior Special Agents looked at them and said tactfully, “We all have missions on hand and can’t protect President Li closely. If anything happens to President Li, we won’t be able to bear the responsibility. Why don’t you find another candidate, Sir?”

“Hasn’t Ben been on leave without a mission recently?”

“He’s quite suitable. He also needs to bring his new disciple along to broaden her horizons…” The few senior Special Agents made excuses. However, when Ben glared at them, they shut up instantly and stared at other parts of the hall to avoid eye contact.

The relationship between Ben and Li Nanchen was terrible. “I won’t protect him. President Li probably doesn’t want me to carry out this mission.”

“Although the bounty is high, it’s not bad enough for us to step in…” Bai Xue wanted to curry favor with and defend Ben, so naturally, she would express her stand to turn down this mission.

The high-ranking official’s expression turned ugly on the spot. He stole a glance at Li Nanchen’s expression, afraid that Li Nanchen would flip out and cancel his cooperation with the Ministry of Defense.

They can’t afford to provoke Li Nanchen!

The situation fell into a deadlock. A high-ranking official saw the new cadets below the stage who did not understand the situation and suggested, “Actually, we can select from the new special agents. There are many people with outstanding abilities in this batch. They are completely qualified and are unfamiliar faces. They can also hide themselves and protect President Li! I wonder if President Li is willing to give them a chance?”

“Sure,” Li Nanchen said as he looked at Wu Mei and nodded.

The high-ranking official heaved a sigh of relief and announced loudly that everyone could sign up.

Wu Mei recalled that she needed Li Nanchen’s help during her drug relapses. Carrying out this protection mission was a good opportunity for that, so she took the initiative to apply.

When Feng Yue saw her applying, she looked at Wu Mei derisively and said, “Oh, you really like sticking close to men!”

“?”

Wu Mei heard her eccentric tone, but did not intend to argue with her.

“Just now, you had an ambiguous relationship with Senior Ben and Senior K, yet now you can’t bear to let President Li go…”

Seeing that Wu Mei was silent, Feng Yue pushed further and mocked her incessantly. At the same time, her eyes darted around.

She thought about Li Nanchen’s honourable status.?If she could grab this opportunity, she might even be commended for her service and keep Wu Mei under her thumb!

Looking at Wu Mei’s pale face, she recalled that Wu Mei had been seriously injured during the undercover mission and had yet to recover. Her heart skipped a beat!

“Since we all want to fight for the chance to protect President Li, why don’t we have a PK competition where the winner gets to take on the mission? That’s the fairest way. What do you think?”

Feng Yue looked at Wu Mei tauntingly, certain that Wu Mei would not be able to defeat her with that injured body!

With this confidence, Feng Yue pretended to be rueful and said, “In the previous rounds of our PK, I slipped up and let you win by a narrow margin.”

“This is a good opportunity for us to have a fair competition!”

Wu Mei saw through her little scheme and saw the tenderness in Li Nanchen’s eyes as he looked at her.

He believed that Wu Mei would be able to deal with it, so he had no intention of helping her. He simply watched on silently…
