After Divorcing, She Shocked the World

At the endpoint of the mission, Wu Mei transferred the drug dealer to the Ministry of Defense and enjoyed the supplies she received for being the first to arrive.

Zhong Ling was munching on two apples as she waved enthusiastically at the new cadets who had just rushed back.

However, they looked at Wu Mei with questioning eyes. They couldn’t believe that it was the pieces of trash they looked down on who had completed the mission first!

“Cheating! They must have used underhanded means…”

Some of the new cadets were doubtful. One of them saw Zhong Ling and pointed at her, saying, “I remember now! She passed the assessment because she has super strong reconnaissance abilities!”

“No wonder! The battle in the rainforest is advantageous to them! Wu Mei must have relied on her to find the way and arrived early.”

“That’s right! They didn’t encounter any enemies or wild beasts along the way so of course they can run fast. That’s so unfair!”

Having found a reason to convince themselves, the new cadets spread the discussion, completely ignoring Zhong Ling’s explanation.

Wu Mei sat calmly in front of the bonfire, wiping her sharp folding knife as if she could not hear their mockery. “Zhong Ling, come here.”

“Ignore them. Isn’t arguing with fools lowering your own intelligence?”

Wu Mei handed the roasted pigeon to Zhong Ling. The fragrance of the roasted pigeon wafted, causing the new cades who were late to watch and gulp.

Feng Yue stared at her coldly, stomping her feet in jealousy and anxiety. She looked towards the assembly point, but there was still no sign of her companion.

If he still doesn’t return now, he might be eliminated.

Her partner is so outstanding. Why should he lose to a woman who relied on someone else to come back?

Feng Yue couldn’t control herself and ridiculed, “Some people just rely on cozying up to someone strong to get a good ranking. What’s there to brag about that?”

Wu Mei looked up in shock. She pointed at herself and asked, “Are you talking about me?”

Feng Yue raised her chin, obviously referring to her.

“As a special agent, it’s important to be able to find trustworthy teammates and master teamwork,” Wu Mei replied lazily and threw the tree branch into the bonfire. She looked at the rising flames and lectured Feng Yue like a senior, “Have you watched too many hero movies? Do you think you can fight a hundred people alone and have the halo of an immortal protagonist?”

“Hur hur, that’s what you say!”

“Zhong Ling has always failed in her physical training and will definitely be eliminated after a few rounds. Let’s see who you can rely on then.”

“Don’t try to suck up to me when the time comes! I don’t want to be on the same team as a woman who got in through connections!”

Feng Yue pretended to be arrogant as she spoke, but in reality, she did not have any confidence at all. Her guilty gaze wavered.

Wu Mei chuckled. In her eyes, Feng Yue was as childish as a five-year-old child waving a toy gun in front of her. It was so funny that she wanted to bicker with her. “Oh? In that case, you have to work hard too…”

“If not, it would be a slap in the face for you if Zhong Ling remains in the Ministry of Defense.”

“You!”

Feng Yue was made completely speechless.

While the two were arguing, the new cadet beside them pointed into the distance and shouted, “Look, they’re back!”

Qi Feng helped Feng Yue’s friend back and sent him to the infirmary. Then, he sank onto the floor weakly.

He raised his head and met Wu Mei’s eyes. Immediately, he recalled his encounter in the rainforest. He could not help but tremble and vomit, avoiding her gaze as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Qi Feng crawled on all fours to keep a distance from Wu Mei. The surrounding new cadets noticed that something was wrong and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“What exactly happened in the rainforest?” A sharp-eyed new cadet looked at the wound on Qi Feng’s leg and stared at Wu Mei’s folding knife. Then, he connected the dots.

When Bai Xue heard the news, she rushed over and squatted down to check on Qi Feng’s body stats. She could feel that his fear came from Wu Mei.

“Wu Mei! Did you do something to him?”

“Qi Feng, don’t worry and just tell us everything. I’ll protect you and take care of it for you!”

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Xue wanted to chase Wu Mei away. Her gaze was vicious as she spoke…
