Chapter 81: Forcefully Quitting the Drug

The effects of the new drug were strong. Soon, Wu Mei’s entire body was trembling and she couldn’t control her excitement. Her field of vision kept spinning. She barely held onto the door to stand up. However, she couldn’t stand firm and fell to the ground. She used her fingertips to pinch her wound to use the pain to keep herself awake!

“Wu Mei! Hang in there. I’ll take you out of here!” Li Nanchen pressed on his shoulder as he ran to her side.

Seeing the Ministry of Defense Special Agents rushing over one after another, Wu Mei nervously tugged on the corner of his shirt and shook her head.

“Don’t worry, they won’t find out.” Li Nanchen took off his clothes and covered Wu Mei with them before carrying her in his arms.

Using drugs was a taboo in the Ministry of Defense. Anybody with a criminal record or touched drugs during a mission would be removed from the Special Agents list. Wu Mei would never allow this to happen.

After getting Li Nanchen’s promise, Wu Mei relaxed a little. Gritting her teeth, she leaned her head against his chest.

“Where are you guys going?” Ken rushed over and looked at Wu Mei before raising his hand to stop them.

“She’s from the Ministry of Defense. She needs to come back with us.” Ken was practically snatching her away in public.

Li Nanchen narrowed his eyes and said ruthlessly, “Get out of my way! I’ll explain to your superior directly. Don’t force me…”

Ken felt that the situation was amiss as he looked at Wu Mei who was in Li Nanchen’s arms. On the other hand, Wu Mei was forcefully pulling open the wound in her abdomen to maintain her consciousness. She took two deep breaths and looked at Ken as she said, “I only want Li Nanchen. As for the details of the mission, I will write a detailed report to you and the Ministry of Defense!”

“Right now, rather than confronting us here, you should be focusing on cleaning up the mess and chasing the drug dealers who escaped!” Wu Mei reminded him rationally. Ken hesitated before moving away from the exit. Li Nanchen rushed to the room on the 18th floor and skillfully searched for the first aid kit. Looking at her mangled wound, he contacted a trustworthy private doctor and got him to drive to the Royal Clubhouse!

Beads of sweat formed on Wu Mei’s forehead as she murmured, “Zhong Ling…”

Regret appeared in Li Nanchen’s eyes. “Her disguise is so clumsy that I couldn’t even see through it! Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten the antidote from her and destroyed the syringe. There won’t be any loopholes at the scene. The Ministry of Defense won’t know about your condition.”

In that short span of time, Li Nanchen had already thought of everything for her.

The doctor rushed to the place and looked at Wu Mei, who was trembling nonstop. He treated her wound and extracted two tubes of her blood.

Hugging her, Li Nanchen could feel that her skin was hot, as if it was about to burn. He used his body to help her cool down and asked, “What’s the situation?”

Looking at her vital signs, the doctor shook his head as he said, “Just now, you mentioned that this is a new type of drug? The specific drug composition still needs to be tested and analyzed. If she wants to quit the drug, she can only rely on herself…”

“However, the process will be very painful. It will require an extremely strong willpower.”

The doctor told Li Nanchen the truth. Li Nanchen’s heart ached as he looked at Wu Mei who had lost consciousness. He pointed at the tube of antidote and asked, “What about using it? Zhong Ling said that she’ll be able to recover to normal!”

“The newer the antidote, the more unstable it is. Even if it can really help people to quit the drug, it might have unpredictable side effects.”

“President Li, I don’t think you want to see her quit the so-called drug but become addicted to drugs, do you?”

The doctor told Wu Mei the cruelest truth. Looking at Wu Mei, he said, “My suggestion is to send her to a professional rehabilitation center. There will be specialised caregivers and doctors there to help with the rehabilitation according to her health stats. It will take at least two to three months or might even take up to a few years. It should be successful.”

“No! I can’t go to rehab.”

Hearing this, Wu Mei’s eyes suddenly shone with fury. She grabbed Li Nanchen’s arm tightly and shook her head.

“There cannot be any records about this anywhere. Besides the people in this room, there can’t be a fourth person who can know about this. Or else… I will kill all of you!”

Wu Mei threatened, “I have to go back to the Ministry of Defense! Li Nanchen, I will bear with it myself!”

The doctor frowned, somewhat resigned to Wu Mei’s stubbornness.

“In that case, we can only restrain her. Otherwise, in her current state, when the drug takes effect again, she will hurt herself or other people… She won’t have any consciousness! It’s very dangerous.” The doctor pulled out a few pieces of gauze then tied Wu Mei’s hands to the bedside.

Standing there, Li Nanchen saw her pained expression. He said, “You should head back.”

“I’ll accompany her here.” Li Nanchen pushed open the door and chased the doctor out. Seeing Wu Mei twist around, he felt the same pain.
