Chapter 237: Dispelling Doubts

Where is John hiding right now?

How did he maintain contact with Ian?

In the face of the predicament in front of her, Wu Mei fell into deep thought. Just as she was about to get someone to help her deal with Ian’s corpse, an icy gun barrel pressed against her lower back.

In the corner of the Clubhouse room, K walked out from the dark donned in black. With a solemn expression, he went around to Wu Mei’s front.

“Why is it you?”

Wu Mei didn’t expect to meet K here. Recalling the situation of Ian and John being pursued, she couldn’t help but frown and stare at the suspicious man in front of her.

K raised his hand to check Ian’s breathing to confirm his death status.

“You killed him?”

K raised the gun and gestured for Wu Mei to stand up. His eyes were cold as he questioned, “Was it Ben who sent you to kill Ian?”

After the bar incident, K no longer had any trust in Wu Mei. He thought that Wu Mei had already revealed everything to Ben and had become Ben’s trusted aide, so there was some ruthlessness in his words, as if he was about to pull the trigger and shoot Wu Mei dead the next moment.

When Wu Mei heard K pin the blame on Ben, she immediately took the initiative and asked, “I would like to ask you, what’s going on?”

“Bi Fang isn’t feeling well. He wanted to eat the stewed meat in this Clubhouse, so he begged me to help him collect it.”

“I followed the directions of the waiter and took a break here, but I saw this guy sneakily appear…”

Wu Mei pointed at Ian, who was lying on the ground with no way to defend himself. She pinned all the blame on him and said, “I think I saw some news about him on the Ministry of Defense’s DarkNet. I thought he looked familiar and wanted to come over to take a look. I thought that I might have a chance to perform well!”

“But who would have thought that I would encounter a murder case!”

K smiled coldly in disbelief. “Li Nanchen would allow you to leave the villa and out of his sight?”

“Since you’re collecting Bi Fang’s food, where did you put the food?”

This guy is really meticulous!

Wu Mei gritted her teeth and retorted, “As a Special Agent from the Ministry of Defense, I’m carrying out the personal protection mission with Feng Yue. Of course I have the right to move around freely. Li Nanchen can’t control me! As for Bi Fang’s food, it spilled when I was chasing after the assassin.”

“I’ve already thrown it into the trash bin outside. If you have the time, you can go and look for it.”

“You should be able to find the ingredients for the dishes from the food scraps!”

Unhappily pointing at the surveillance cameras outside the window, Wu Mei said with an exceptionally firm gaze, “If you don’t believe me, you can go and investigate!”

Staring at Wu Mei’s expression, K determined that she wasn’t lying and put his gun down.

“Don’t you need to give me an explanation? Why would you suspect that Ben sent me here?”

Seeing that the hostility between his brows had dissipated slightly, Wu Mei wanted to probe further.

K squatted down silently and did not respond. He examined Ian’s body and carefully searched through his pockets and even his underwear.

Wu Mei watched his actions and turned her head to look elsewhere. She said in disdain, “Aren’t you being a little disrespectful to the dead?”

The traces of blood on the floor proved that no one had moved Ian after he died, but his body had already stiffened. K searched for a few times but to no avail. He glared at Wu Mei.

Wu Mei crossed her arms and watched as his efforts came to naught. Before she could suppress the teasing smile on her face, he caught sight of it.

“What did you find?”
