Chapter 156: Contacting a High-ranking Official in Private

“The Ministry of Defense has explicitly stated that all Special Agents can only contact their immediate superiors. They are not allowed to contact any high-ranking officials beyond that!”

“As a high-ranking special agent, it’s impossible for Ben to not know this rule. He and Min Qun met M in private without telling her. They must have secretly conspired to harm her!”

Bi Fang was so agitated that she wanted to strangle Ben. Wu Mei sized up Ben with a cold gaze and raised her hand to hold Bi Fang by the collar to control his agitation.

The Special Agents did not expect to hear such a shocking secret. They held their breaths as they looked at Ben, who was like a god to them, wanting to hear his explanation.

Ben did not expect him to bring this up. He calmly looked out the window at the few floating clouds and said in a daze, “Special Agents may face many special circumstances during their missions that require them to adapt and respond. You might not understand…”

“But I met Min Qun with M’s approval, and we were talking about an extremely normal mission execution plan.”

“You didn’t hear anything and just based it on what you saw to fabricate lies to accuse me. How ludicrous!”

Bi Fang did not believe Ben’s explanation at all while Wu Mei wondered who was the mastermind behind M’s death.

Ben is lying. Wu Mei did not remember him telling her about meeting with Min Qun, much less giving him any instructions. She knew this better than anyone! What kind of deal did he have with Min Qun? Could it really be him?

What is Ben hiding?

Wu Mei knew that the clues she had now would not be able to ascertain his crime. Furthermore, she was now Ben’s disciple, so she obviously could not defend Bi Fang and arouse hostility between them.

Thinking about this, she frowned and looked back at Bi Fang as she said, “Did you hear that?”

“There must be a misunderstanding between the two of you! Since he has explained it clearly, as long as you apologize, Ben will definitely not pursue the fact that you deliberately injured him…”

Wu Mei tried to use her eyes to hint to Bi Fang to admit defeat, but he was dizzy with rage. How could he catch that?

He held the western food knife tightly in his palm. When he saw Wu Mei standing in front of Ben, he gritted his teeth and threw it on the ground. “Ben, you got lucky today!”

“But I will never let you off. Prepare to give your life to me. Sooner or later, I will get it back on M’s behalf!”

Bi Fang took a deep look at Wu Mei and Li Nanchen before abruptly kicking the back of the chair. It instantly shattered and scattered over the ground. He then stepped on the pieces that were all over the floor and left the banquet hall. Without looking back, he threw his bloodstained jacket into the trash can and harrumphed.

“You met with Min Qun? What did you guys talk about?”

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was solemn and awkward. All the dishes had been shattered on the ground. The tablecloth was stained with the gravy from the dishes and was extremely grimy. The tables and chairs had varying degrees of damage and were almost impossible to piece together. K coldly lifted his eyes to stare at Ben as he interrogated him.

Ben wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat out a few strands of blood. He retorted unhappily, “What does it have to do with you?”

“Are you planning to dig up the Ministry of Defense’s secrets regarding M and my mission? If you really want to know, go and ask Min Qun yourself…”

Ben rubbed his aching ribs and sat down. With furrowed brows, he picked up the wine glass and poured himself half a glass of red wine and downed it. He used the burning pain in his stomach to alleviate the pain in his body. His expression was pained as he suppressed the memory of M in his mind.

In a bar hidden in the corner of the city, Bi Fang was sitting at the bar counter, drinking glass after glass of hard liquor.

The cacophony of music made him cover his ears in frustration. “I’m sorry, M! It was such a good opportunity, but I didn’t manage to take revenge for you.”

“But don’t worry, I will definitely send Ben to accompany you and get him to apologize to you personally! He won’t be able to live for much longer!”

A woman with a graceful figure saw Bi Fang who was alone and wanted to strike up a conversation with him. Bi Fang smelled the pungent perfume and pushed her away in disgust. He did not want to linger for even half a minute. His stomach was churning and he felt like he was about to vomit!

Feeling a little dizzy, he took out a wad of cash and slammed it on the bar counter. His body swayed as the waiter helped him out of the bar.

The waiter hailed a cab for him. As the Li Family’s villa was in the wealthy district at the waist of the mountain, the driver had no choice but to leave Bi Fang at the entrance of the neighbourhood.

Bi Fang walked along with bleary eyes. His footsteps were unsteady and he seemed to hear the cries of a baby coming from afar. He instinctively followed the sound and looked over. He saw a blurry figure flash past the tall building that was standing in the shadows…
