ABANDONED WIFE, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 45

Li Nanchen held her beautiful fingertips and fiddled with them provocatively. He then raised his brows and stared at her as he said, “Take me with you.”

Wu Mei looked at him in surprise and quickly refused, “No, what I’m doing tonight has nothing to do with the Ministry of Defense.”

She thought that Li Nanchen had misunderstood that she was going to meet the Special Agent from the Ministry of Defense and wanted to explain things clearly to reassure him.

However, Li Nanchen burst into laughter and pinched the tip of her nose. He retorted, “Do I look like someone who can’t differentiate between business and jealousy?”

“I know what you’re going to do. It’s too dangerous for you to sneak into the Wu Corporation alone. I don’t know how many trusted subordinates Wu Pang has arranged in the company now. If there’s an emergency, I can cover for you and help you out.”

Seeing Wu Mei’s wavering and hesitant expression, Li Nanchen further threatened her, “If you don’t agree…”

“I can go and wake Auntie up and tell her that you’re going to sneak out.”

Wu Mei looked at him helplessly and frowned as she muttered, “When did you learn to be unreasonable and underhanded?”

Li Nanchen shrugged as he understood her intention to give in. Grabbing his jacket and car keys, he held Wu Mei’s hand and quietly left the villa. “Staying by your side, I have to master some useful methods. Since you are not amenable to coercion, I can only resort to using tricks.”

Li Nanchen blinked at Wu Mei. Wu Mei was seated in the passenger seat. When she saw that he was still holding her left hand despite driving, she turned her head away and chuckled.

The tinted glass window reflected her blissful and satisfied expression. Li Nanchen’s side profile also showed that he was smiling.

In the Wu Corporation, there were still a few security guards patrolling at night. They were unfamiliar faces and not the few people Wu Mei was familiar with. This strange situation made Wu Mei increasingly certain that there was something wrong with Wu Pang.

Li Nanchen parked the car far away. He went to the convenience store to buy two bottles of white liquor and poured them on his custom-made shirt and suit jacket.

Wu Mei could tell what he was trying to do. Her brows knitted together in heartache. She lifted her hand and pulled open the collar of Li Nanchen’s shirt. “I’ll pay you back for the clothes another day.”

Li Nanchen wrapped his arms around her neck and bent down to kiss her red lips under the dim street lamp. Reeking of alcohol, he gently bit her lower lip.

“That’s enough.”

He hinted for Wu Mei to hide in a corner. Seeing her ‘OK’ gesture, Li Nanchen pretended to be a drunkard, who had drunk too much alcohol late at night, and approached the security guard.

When the security guards saw him appear, they chased him away warily and said, “You can’t cause trouble here!”

“How much did you drink? What’s your family’s number?”

The security guard’s attention was focused on Li Nanchen. He took out the wallet he carried with him, took out a wad of cash, and threw it on the ground. “I have money!”

Li Nanchen watched as the security guards bent down to pick up the money. From afar, he saw Wu Mei nimbly sneak into the Corporation’s building.

Wu Mei hacked the company’s surveillance system during the chaos. She ran to Wu Pang’s office through the emergency stairs.

The Assistant had left a gap in the office door for her in advance. Wu Mei successfully opened the office and searched for a place where Wu Pang could store important information. Recalling Wu Pang’s character traits, she fumbled around in the gap of the sofa and found the key to a safe!

Wu Mei turned on the light source on her phone. Under the dim light, she saw a short safe standing behind the curtains.

“It’s indeed here!”

Wu Mei opened it with the key. Sure enough, Wu Pang’s evidence of infraction was inside.
