Chapter 304: Unprofessional Team Member

Wu Mei was officially unsuspended.

She needed to write a reflection report and wait for approval before she might be assigned a new mission. Until then, she was still in a state of suspension.

Wu Mei knew that she wouldn’t be able to change their decision and request to be assigned, and she also knew that her injuries weren’t light and that she needed to recuperate.

She could make use of this opportunity to find out where Mo Li and the rest had gone. Compared to Ben, who always couldn’t find them, she had a better chance of succeeding.

Ben looked at Wu Mei, who had been keeping her head down. He thought she was in a bad mood because of the reprimand, so he consoled her patiently, which was rare for him. “You made a contribution this time, and it was recognized by the organization. Although you made a mistake in the process, your contribution made up for it. This outcome is already considered quite good.”

What is he saying?

Wu Mei looked at Ben belatedly and realized that he was talking to her about the outcome of the reward and punishment. She suddenly felt that it was especially ridiculous.

Would she care about the merits this time?

What she really cared about was Mother Wu’s safety and Mo Li’s whereabouts.

Most importantly, it was to find out…

Wu Mei took a deep breath and said perfunctorily, “I understand. I will wait at ease.”

“It’s good that you know!” Ben nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and saw Bai Xue walking towards them, together with Feng Yue, Qi Feng, and the others behind her.

Their expressions were very grave, as if they had encountered something major, making Ben cautious.

“I’ll report it to the higher-ups.” Bai Xues first words to Ben surprised even Ume.

Report what?

Hearing Bai Xue’s words, Wu Mei had an ominous feeling. This was verified when Feng Yue spoke.

Feng Yue gritted her teeth and said, “Ben, in order to save her mother, Wu Mei put her personal feelings in the mix. She was rash and impulsive during the entire operation. She shouldn’t be let off just like that.”

“No matter what, I must seek justice for those injured members.”

Wu Mei felt like she had just heard a joke.

Seek justice.

There is no justice in their mission, only victory.

Where does Feng Yue get the confidence to think that she can make this decision?

Wu Mei instinctively took a step forward. When she wanted to retaliate, Ben raised his hand and blocked her.

Ben’s simple gesture made Bai Xue turn pale.

Is Ben protecting Wu Mei?

What’s so good about Wu Mei? Why is Ben taking such good care of her?

Ben ignored Bai Xue’s gaze and looked coldly at Feng Yue. He called out, “Feng Yue.”

Feng Yue stared at Ben in a daze. She didn’t react as Ben called her name.

“Feng Yue!” Bai Xue shouted angrily at Feng Yue.

Feng Yue still did not understand what was going on, but when she realized that everyone’s gaze was on her, she instantly turned red in frustration, but she did not know what she had done wrong.

Ben turned his gaze to Bai Xue and said sternly, “I hope you can teach your team members well. In the future, they shouldn’t involve their personal feelings when they talk or do things.”

How could he not notice the hidden turbulence between the women?

He just didn’t want to get involved, but if they came to cause trouble for Wu Mei, it would be the same as finding trouble for him, who was her mentor.

He had to teach them a lesson.

“If she ever says something so unprofessional again, I don’t mind asking the higher-ups to set up a course on moral ethics.” Ben’s voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear.

All of their expressions could be said to be very interesting, especially Wu Mei.

Wu Mei couldn’t imagine how ridiculous it would feel to have to attend classes every day while they were on a mission.

Feng Yue’s eyes turned red. She looked at Bai Xue anxiously, but Bai Xue said pitifully, “We’re just following the rules.”

“Then you’d better always be in the future,” Ben said, not intending to continue this confrontation with Bai Xue and her men.

There was no need.

It was a waste of time.

Ben suddenly raised his voice and called out, “Wu Mei.”

Wu Mei was analyzing the relationship between Ben and Bai Xue when she saw what happened.

She didn’t care about Feng Yue, but she had to be wary of Bai Xue.

Bai Xue has Ben in her heart.

What about Ben?

How will he handle this relationship?

While Wu Mei was thinking, she heard Ben calling her name and immediately shouted, “Here!”

Ben nodded. “Let’s go,” he said coldly.

Wu Mei trailed after Ben. She looked at Feng Yue mockingly and strode after Ben.

Feng Yue finally knew what reaction she should have had when Ben called her name. Instead, her face had been full of confusion, and she seemed to have lost her discipline, becoming a joke.

Bai Xue was annoyed as well. She merely said, “Keep your spirits up from now on. Our only chance of winning is to do better than them.”

What she means is to do better than Wu Mei, right?

Bai Xue had long treated Wu Mei as an imaginary enemy.

She looked at Feng Yue, who was on the verge of tears. Frowning, she said, “Why are you still standing here? Go and protect Li Nanchen.”

Only then did Feng Yue pull herself together. The gloominess in her heart was swept away. She turned around and left quickly.

She didn’t want to stay on. It was too embarrassing.

Bai Xue was extremely annoyed. She walked forward in silence, but she had given up on the idea of telling on Wu Mei again. She only thought about how she could have a chance to work with Ben.

This time, the contribution was due to Ben and K’s collaboration.

What about her?

Why hadn’t Ben informed her?
