239: Memories of the Past

Memories of the Past

In the Li Family's villa, Wu Mei went to the study room to use the computer to log into the DarkNet that the Special Agents used in secret.2

She stared at the information panel where missions were posted and tried to recall information and data related to John.

After a while, Wu Mei tapped lightly on the keyboard to issue a bounty mission. On the surface, it was to protect the employer's safety, but Special Agents who could accept the mission needed to have a few special skills and were good at resolving situations such as pursuit and assassination.

Wu Mei looked at the bounty mission that was catered to John and quietly waited for him to take the bait.

These screening conditions and generous bounty rewards were what John needed and was best at. If he couldn't contact Ian, he would definitely investigate and find out that Ian had been assassinated. He would need to earn money to escape and survive, but he couldn't contact people he was familiar with.

The DarkNet was his only way to survive.

In the dark study room, Wu Mei stared at the dimly-lit computer screen. She murmured softly, "John, don't make me wait too long…"

In the Wu Corporation, Wu Pang came to Mother Wu's office with a bento box. He knocked on the glass door with a fawning smile.

Mother Wu looked up at him in surprise. In an extremely natural manner, Wu Pang sat across from her at her desk. He opened the bento box and showed Mother Wu the colorful, fragrant, and tasty home-cooked dishes. He took out the cutlery and handed it to Mother Wu as he said, "You haven't had lunch, have you?"

The bodyguard recalled Wu Mei's advice and wanted to chase Wu Pang away, afraid that he would have ulterior motives towards Mother Wu.

Seeing their actions, Wu Pang put on the airs of a President and said, "This is the Wu Corporation, my company! Don't you dare touch me!"

"Besides, I'm only here to have lunch with her. You have no right to interfere with her personal life."

Wu Pang's fat face twitched in displeasure. He leaned towards the bodyguards and said sarcastically, "I know you were hired by Wu Mei to protect her, but she's in your line of sight now and I didn't hurt her. You don't have to be so nervous, do you?"

The bodyguards had never met anyone as shameless as Wu Pang. They could only step back and watch them closely.

Mother Wu looked at the home-cooked dishes in the bento box. They all seemed to be her favorite dishes.

Wu Pang saw her touched and puzzled expression. He quickly picked up two pieces of bamboo shoots and placed them in her bowl. "These are all your former favorites."

"Do you still remember? When we first got married, you stayed at home every day researching nutritional food pairing…"

"I wanted to hire some nannies to help out as I was afraid that you would be too tired, but you said that you would feel more at ease if you cooked."

Wu Pang's eyes shone as he guided Mother Wu. He continued to add details, "When you first learned how to cook, you couldn't differentiate between salt and sugar. The taste of the food you made was simply unbearable, but I ate it all."

"For this, I even stayed in the hospital for a few days!"

Wu Pang actually had the cheek to mention the few happy times they had together. Although Mother Wu had lost her memories, some fragments of her memories still flashed across her mind according to his description. She picked up a bamboo shoot and tasted it in her mouth before nodding.

Wu Pang sighed. "Later on, I was the one who made a lot of mistakes, making you and Wu Mei sad."

"But really… I have my own difficulties. Wu Mei is misunderstanding me right now. Do you… blame me as well?" Wu Pang deliberately asked in a pitiful manner. Mother Wu's heart wavered, but she remembered Wu Mei's advice and did not respond.
