Chapter 295: Suspended for Investigation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Yanghong knew what it meant for a woman to look at him with such a gaze. This was the effect he wanted.

It was thanks to the stupid Yang Shan who gave him such a good opportunity.

“I’ve already made arrangements. You just have to wait for the news. Don’t plot against Wu Mei like Auntie. There won’t be a good outcome.” Li Yanghong’s words made Wu Yi’s eyes turn misty.

Wu Mei.

Why is it always Wu Mei?

When did this Wu Mei become so powerful?

Li Yanghong continued, “I will hire a lawyer and arrange a backup plan. Wait for me.”

Wu Yi was so shocked by the words “wait for me” that she suddenly raised her head. She looked at the person who took care of her and nodded vigorously. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Li Yanghong picked up his coffee and took a sip, revealing a disdainful smile.

On the other hand, Wu Mei was also in trouble.

This trouble was really not caused by Li Yanghong, but an anonymous report.

Someone reported Wu Mei for taking drugs.

Wu Mei was already recalling the entire incident when she received the news from Ben and was forced to undergo a test.

The first to be eliminated were Li Nanchen and the people Li Nanchen had arranged for her.

Who were the people who knew that she had been plotted against by Zhong Ling and touched drugs?

How could they be sure that she was not framed?

Wu Mei was waiting for the result. When she saw the report in Bai Xue’s hand, her expression darkened.

It was actually hair?

Was someone from the Li family bribed to do this?

Bai Xue looked at Wu Mei mockingly. “You have no self-respect. Why did you touch such things? Your life will be ruined by yourself.”

Wu Mei looked up and faced Bai Xue squarely. “Where is Ben?”

When Bai Xue heard Wu Mei mention Ben, her face twisted for a moment. “Of course Ben has to be responsible for the case that K left behind. He’s very busy every day. Not only are you unable to help him, but you also caused trouble for him. If I were you, I would resign voluntarily.”

“I was in the process of carrying out my mission and was tricked by the enemy into injecting drugs into my body, but I’ve kicked the addiction,” said Wu Mei in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Or rather, she didn’t even bother to look at Bai Xue.

She just wanted to know who had plotted against her. She had to find out.

Bai Xue placed her hands on the table and looked at Wu Mei’s expressionless face. She was furious and raised her voice, “Who would believe you? You…”

Wu Mei was shaken out of her thoughts by the sound of Bai Xue’s voice. Why was she arguing with Bai Xue? It meant nothing to her. It was a waste of time.

Not only was she not angry, she was smiling. She could clearly see how Bai Xue felt about Ben, and she knew how to attack her opponent. “As long as Ben believes me, that’s enough.”

As expected, Wu Mei saw Bai Xue’s pale and furious expression. She took the test report and said politely, “I’ll write a report about the whole thing and send it to Ben’s email. You don’t have to follow up.”

As Wu Mei turned away, Bai Xue slammed the table and yelled, “I’m telling you, no one will believe that you can quit so quickly after touching drugs. You’ve already been suspended for investigation.”

The woman who had shouted those words must have felt pleased, but it quickly turned to annoyance.

Because Wu Mei wasn’t offended. She merely tilted her head to the side and said calmly, “I’ll send the report to Ben. Even if I’m suspended and kept under investigation, the truth about the whole incident must be known. It should not be a malicious speculation.”

She looked at Bai Xue sternly and said, “Isn’t the truth what we’re after?”

Bai Xue felt that Wu Mei was implying something else.

As Wu Mei walked out, her expression turned ugly. She completely ignored Feng Yue, who was blocking her way. She was just thinking about how the development of the situation would affect her plan.

Feng Yue blocked Wu Mei’s path again. “Did you hear what I said? I will be responsible for Mr. Li’s safety. It won’t be you any longer.”

Wu Mei finally snapped out of it. When she fixed her gaze on Feng Yue, a bright smile blossomed on her face.

Feng Yue was shocked by Wu Mei’s smile. Then, she heard Wu Mei laugh and say, “We don’t know who will be responsible for President Li’s safety. Why are you so anxious?”

“I have to go back and write my report. I don’t know how Ben is doing and I don’t have a bodyguard mission right now, so I can help him.”

Feng Yue finally came back to her senses. She gritted her teeth and said to Wu Mei, “Let me remind you that you’ve been suspended. You can’t do anything.”

“I can still get them a cup of coffee.” Wu Mei suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, as well as the surging thoughts and resentment, and walked out with a smile.

Her suspension had been imposed according to the rules. She had no chance to protest. The only thing she could do was to find out the truth.

Where should I start looking?

Li Nanchen already knew about Wu Mei’s punishment. Just as he was about to extend his hand to Wu Mei, Feng Yue blocked his path.

He did not expect someone to suddenly appear. He instinctively took a step back and distanced himself.

Feng Yue lowered her head. “Mr. Li, Wu Mei has been suspended. From now on, I will be the one protecting you. You…”

“This matter hasn’t been settled yet, but you’re taking matters into your own hands already?” Li Nanchen’s voice was cold as he strode past Feng Yue and grabbed Wu Mei’s hand.
