In the dead of night, the new special agent cadets sat around the bonfire waiting for the award ceremony.

"When can we enter the Ministry of Defense?" someone murmured impatiently.

Qi Feng glanced at Wu Mei and fiddled with the firewood. "The higher-ups will randomly assign the trial mission. We can only wait..."

Wu Mei wiped her folding knife and placed it in the side of her boot. When she heard the chatter of the girls around her, she looked up and saw a figure.

Ben's slender figure with a well-defined side profile was striding over. His assistant was carrying the medals for Ben to give them out according to the namelist.

The female special agents eagerly tidied up their appearances, itching to talk to Ben more. However, he simply followed the procedure indifferently and did not say anything..

Until he stood in front of Wu Mei and handed her the medal. At the same time, he took out another box and handed it to her.

"What is this?"

Wu Mei did not take it from him.

Ben's long and bony hand, which had two gunshot wounds, hung in the air. He raised his hand slightly to indicate for her to stop and said, "It's customary."

"Every special agent who comes in first place in the assessment will get this gift," Ben explained with a relaxed smile.

When did the Ministry of Defense have this new rule?

Wu Mei looked down and hid her gaze, which seemed to be able to see through everything. She opened the box and saw a pendant made from the bullet of an MK pistol.

She placed it in her palm and looked at it quietly with mixed emotions...

This was the firearm model that M liked to use during assassinations. When M took Ben as her disciple, she had also given him a bullet like this as proof.

Is Ben hinting at taking her in as a disciple?

Time and space overlapped for her. Many memories rushed into Wu Mei's mind and broke free from their shackles, making her unsure of how to react.

"Don't feel burdened. Just treat it as an amulet."

"I admire your abilities and also look forward to you completing the trial mission and fighting alongside me..."

Ben and Wu Mei chatted for a long time. Hiding in the dark, Bai Xue dug her nails into her palms and she felt a piercing pain. She mocked lightly under her breath, "What tradition? Customary? It's clearly a personal gift from Ben to Wu Mei!"

"What right does she have? Is it simply because... she resembles M?"

Bai Xue's eyebrows knitted together as she thought of the woman who dominated the Ministry of Defense. She was already dead, but she still traumatised her!

She will never allow any woman to get close to Ben again!

She has to find an opportunity to get rid of Wu Mei!

...

In the office of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Defense...

Li Nanchen's fingers gently tapped on the armrest. He handed the official a USB flash drive filled with the address of the drug lord's nest and detailed information on their defenses. He waited for the official's reply.

When the high-ranking official saw this extremely important piece of information, he immediately reported it to his superiors. After receiving instructions, he politely instructed his assistant to pour some tea.

"President Li, the Ministry of Defense will fully cooperate with your operation..."

"We will assign experienced special agents to infiltrate them and assist you in destroying the drug lord's nest. Do you need anything else?"

The high-ranking official knew Li Nanchen's powerful background and did not dare to slight him.

Li Nanchen looked up and touched the ring on his ring finger. In a clear voice, he said, "Drug lords are always careful. If we're not careful, they might find out. Information on the Ministry of Defense's experienced special agents can be found and they can be easily recognized. Why not use new special agents?"

"Makes sense. In that case... I'll send someone to accompany you to the new cadet special agents' camp to select people?" The high-ranking official made a call and personally sent Li Nanchen off.

At the campsite, all the new special agent cadets had received the news!

"Very soon, someone important will come and pick newbies for the trial mission. Gather at the training ground in two hours!"

"This is a good opportunity. You have to grab it."

After the instructor notified the new cadets, the new cadets immediately became worked up. They had not expected the opportunity that they had been yearning for to come so quickly!

Only Wu Mei seemed to be very calm. She returned to the dormitory with Zhong Ling and closed her eyes for an afternoon nap according to her biological clock.

"Don't you want to compete for it?" Zhong Ling asked in confusion.

Wu Mei looked into her clear eyes and said confidently, "Important last minute tasks depend on one's abilities. It's not on a first come first serve basis..."

Zhong Ling gradually relaxed upon hearing her words.

At the door, Feng Yue's figure zoomed past furtively. When she heard Wu Mei's words, a sneer flashed across her eyes.

This woman is so confident in her abilities. Does she think that she will definitely win as long as she's there?

Hmph, what if she can't be there?

At the thought of this, Feng Yue hung the lock that she had prepared on the door of Wu Mei's dorm room and locked it from the outside.

Zhong Ling heard the commotion and tried to push it open from the inside, but she realized that the door didn't budge at all. She banged on the door and shouted, "Is anyone here? Someone! Open the door!"

"What's wrong?" Wu Mei sat up and frowned when she saw a slight figure...
