ABANDONED WIFE, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 8

Late at night, Wu Mei used her computer to log into the DarkNet to search for news about Li Nanchen and the Li Corporation. She realized that all the bounties on him had stopped about half a month ago.

Could it be that the Viper Organization has really given up on the plan to assassinate Li Nanchen?

This thought flashed across Wu Mei’s mind, but she quickly rejected it herself. With the current large scale that the Viper Organization had grown to, they would not admit defeat so easily. Otherwise, this incident would become something that the other organizations could use to mock them and even affect the Viper Organization’s status outside the borders.

Li Nanchen gently pushed open the door and entered. When he saw Wu Mei’s eyebrows knitted together, he used his thumb to help her smooth them out and asked, “Is there something on your mind?”

Wu Mei gently held his palm and narrowed her eyes as she said, “Could it be that our defenses have been too tight recently that the Viper Organization’s assassins are unable to easily infiltrate and approach?”

“If we want them to take action, we might have to change our strategy and take the initiative to expose our weaknesses and loopholes to give them a chance.”

Wu Mei pondered for a long time before looking at Li Nanchen and asking, “Do you have any suitable opportunities recently?”

Li Nanchen seemed to have thought of something. He casually took out a gold invitation from the bookshelf and handed it to Wu Mei. “Merchants and business owners attend the financial industry’s banquet every year. The invitations seem strict, but the actual management is very lax. It fulfills your criteria.”

“Do you want to go?” Li Nanchen asked.

Wu Mei’s lips curled up into a smile as she nodded and said, “Let’s go and meet them!”

In the banquet hall of the Luxury Mansion Hotel, a red carpet that was tens of meters long was spread out outside the door. Countless reporters and media were crowding outside. They were holding their cameras and pressing on the shutter, as they recorded this Financial Industry banquet.

Wu Mei linked arms with Li Nanchen and sauntered down the red carpet in a tube evening gown and seven-centimeter high heels.

Their appearance caused a commotion in the surroundings. Those who recognized Li Nanchen exclaimed in surprise, “The head of the Li Corporation?”

“Hasn’t he never cared to attend such banquets? Why is he here today? Who’s the woman beside him?”

“Why haven’t I seen her before?! Could she be President Li’s new lover?”

Hearing the discussions around her, Wu Mei arrogantly leaned towards Li Nanchen and whispered, “Looks like President Li is very popular?”

Li Nanchen’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly explained in a gentle tone, “But I only have eyes for you!”

The others could not hear their conversation. Needless to say, they did not know that the usually cold and aloof President Li, actually had such a personality in private.

In the banquet hall, Li Nanchen and Wu Mei quickly parted ways. He deliberately went to greet the other guests so as to lure out the Viper Organization assassins who were hiding in the dark.

Standing alone by the dessert counter, Wu Mei casually took a glass of champagne and sipped it as she sized up her surroundings with interest.

Halfway through the banquet, a guest lost his rationality after getting drunk. When he saw Wu Mei, who was alone, he thought that she was the mistress of some boss. Frivolously, he approached her and wanted to touch the back of Wu Mei’s hand. “Beauty, it seems to be the first time I’ve seen you. Why don’t we go out and have a chat?”

Wu Mei frowned and ignored him.

However, the drunk guest became increasingly agitated and wanted to wrap his arms around Wu Mei’s shoulder. He uttered nasty words, “Don’t pretend to be noble. Didn’t you come here just because you slept with some boss?”

“I can also provide for you. Tell me! How much does it cost per year? I can give you double that amount…”

Seeing that he was pestering her nonstop, Wu Mei gave up on holding back and grabbed his shoulder.. She bent her knee and threw him onto the ground.
