Chapter 63: Deserves It
Ten, nine, eight…
As time passed, Wu Mei continued to hold on and refused to back down.
That was until she saw the figure running towards them. Zhong Ling stumbled but hugged the black box tightly. She crashed through the finish line and fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength.
Wu Mei saw that there were only five seconds left. She turned to look at Ben and said, “She returned to the team on time.”
“Are you alright?” Wu Mei helped Zhong Ling up. She could tell that Zhong Ling had encountered danger along the way but was gratified to see Zhong Ling’s tenacious will.
Feng Yue rolled her eyes and muttered in the crowd, “Ranked last, yet acting like she’s some hero. Is there a need to?”
Ben made a few markings on the list and rearranged the rankings. He got Bai Xue to assemble the new cadets and announced the results.
“In this elimination round, the results of the two assessments will be combined and the ranking is as follows: Wu Mei… is first!”
A commotion instantly broke out among the new cadets. Everyone was in doubt. “She didn’t even retrieve the black box. Not only was she not eliminated, but she’s also first?”
“Shut up.” When Ben’s gaze swept over them, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and dared not do anything rash.
“Second place, Feng Yue. Qi Feng, third place…” Ben announced one after another. Zhong Ling was so nervous that her entire body was trembling, and she did not dare to continue listening.
Ben looked up at Wu Mei and slowly read out Zhong Ling’s name. He said, “Just met the mark and passed the test.”
“!”
Zhong Ling forgot to breathe and her entire face turned red. When she met Wu Mei’s smiling eyes, she instantly couldn’t help but burst into tears. She hugged Wu Mei tightly and wiped her tears as she muttered gratefully, “I passed! Thank you! Wu Mei!”
Zhong Ling understood that this was an opportunity that Wu Mei had withstood the pressure to obtain for her!
Seeing them being as close as sisters, Feng Yue’s anger and jealousy overwhelmed her rationality. She questioned Ben’s fairness and said, “She clearly didn’t get the black box. According to the rules, her results for today’s assessment have to be cancelled. Why is she ranked first?”
“Just because she relied on connections to get in, does it mean she can look down on the rules like that?” Feng Yue’s voice was shrill.
Frowning, Ben looked at Bai Xue, as if questioning her.?As an instructor, she actually trained such an unruly Special Agent?
Bai Xue was vexed, but she also expressed her displeasure. “Wu Mei is indeed suspicious. That’s why the outcome is unable to convince everybody…”
“Two hours ago, a group of drug traffickers who had a large amount of drugs stashed in the rainforest broke into the combat training ground. Wu Mei single-handedly came up with a plan to defeat a group of more than 40 drug traffickers. She also seized their firearms and drugs. That’s why she received an additional bonus. Is there anything wrong with that?”
Only after Ben finished speaking did Wu Mei realize that she and Li Nanchen had faced that many people!
“Wow, that’s what the explosion sound was!”
“The drug traffickers are too detestable! My friend took drugs and jumped off a building. I support Wu Mei’s bonus points! I accept this ranking!”
Some of the new cadets were shocked and looked at Wu Mei with admiration.
Feng Yue, on the other hand, was indignant and muttered, “She’s always lucky. This kind of bonus is unfair to the other special agents!”
“In that case, I hope that this special agent will be so lucky to meet drug dealers the next time you go on a mission and that you will be able to break out of the encirclement without any comrades. When the time comes, I will also give you bonus marks and commendations for your application to the Ministry of Defense,” Ben retorted on Wu Mei’s behalf, stopping Feng Yue from continuing.
Bai Xue had known Ben for many years, but she had never seen him defend anyone so much! She wanted to rip Wu Mei apart, but there was nothing she could do. She could only bury this hatred in her heart and let it grow and ferment!
“From today onwards, you guys have passed the assessment and are already a member of the Ministry of Defense’s Special Agents Organization.”
“However, as to whether or not you can become a real special agent in the end, you will still have to complete the trial mission.”
“Otherwise, you will be like the other ordinary employees, becoming internal agents of the Ministry of Defense. You will be responsible for recording and organizing daily information, and you won’t have a chance to participate in the Special Agent operations. This trial will be even more dangerous and difficult. Good luck,” Ben said without batting an eyelid as he closed the name list. He took in the expressions of the new cadets, adn saw their dejection or bitterness.
His gaze landed on Wu Mei. She did not seem surprised. On the contrary, her lips curled up into a smile.
“Why is there still an assessment and a mission?”
“Today, I nearly died and came back alive!”
Hearing the complaints of the new cadets around her, Wu Mei looked at the few clouds in the sky and thought to herself,?This is just the beginning. The cruelty of the world of Special Agents is much more than that!
