Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1991: Chapter 1984: Who Gave You Such Nerve

”Hmm. Luck wasn’t on our side this time. I ran into a tough opponent.” Hong Mei sat down.

Hou Zicheng poured a glass of red wine and handed it to her, ”Congratulations on making it out safely! Let’s dispel the bad luck!”

Hong Mei had just reached out for the glass when Cang Lang waved his hand, knocking the red wine to the ground, ”Your recent actions have been too disappointing! How dare you drink!”

In Cang Lang’s view, red wine had only one purpose: to celebrate the victor’s return!

In this matter, Hong Mei was a failure; she did not deserve that drink!

”I’m sorry, Cang Lang! I did indeed encounter trouble. This task has been troublesome from the start... The opponent I faced was indeed quite formidable...”

Hong Mei admitted her mistakes, also indicating that her luck was truly down.

Moreover, she ran into An Hao, who is absolutely not an easy woman to deal with!

”She’s just a doctor! You’ve been trained by the organization for years. You’re a qualified operative, and an outstanding one at that! Yet you say she’s a formidable opponent! When did you become so useless?” Cang Lang was filled with extreme dissatisfaction with Hong Mei.

”I’m sorry! I let you down!” Hong Mei lowered her head.

”Everyone makes mistakes sometimes! Boss, just forgive her already!” Hou Zicheng quickly put in a good word for Hong Mei.

Hoping that if he ever ran into trouble himself, Hong Mei would step up and help him out.

Cang Lang waved his hand, no longer arguing with Hong Mei, ”I’ve already made other arrangements! You don’t need to worry about the remaining matters. Just continue to lay low!”

”But my identity has been exposed by An Hao! I’m already confirmed not to be Gan Tian!” Hong Mei hesitated several times before reporting this to Cang Lang.

A flash of astonishment flickered in Cang Lang’s eyes; clearly, he didn’t see this coming.

”Confirmed? She indeed has some skills!”

Apart from concern, Cang Lang’s words even revealed a hint of admiration.

”Your situation is in trouble!”

”I know.”

Cang Lang lowered his eyes, considering whether to pull Hong Mei out first.

Suddenly hearing Hong Mei say, ”But I did something big tonight, I killed An Hao!”

”Killed her!” A sharp light flashed in Cang Lang’s eyes. Before Hong Mei could react, he raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

”Cang Lang...” Hong Mei, covering her face, looked at the extremely furious Cang Lang, lips trembling, unable to speak for a long time.

”Who gave you the audacity! To make such a significant decision without reporting to the higher-ups.” Cang Lang growled, his handsome face clouded with anger.

”Cang Lang, during our dangerous encounters, aren’t we entitled to decide whether to eliminate the target for self-preservation?” Hong Mei cautiously asked.

”Did you really encounter danger?” Cang Lang squinted, suppressing his anger.

”Yes! An Hao had already confirmed my identity! If I wanted to continue with my mission, I had to get rid of her! Otherwise, she really would have become a stumbling block on my path!” Hong Mei desperately explained herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken such a huge risk to kill An Hao!

This is a massive threat, like a buried time bomb, ready to explode at any time!

If she didn’t disarm it first, she would be the one blown to pieces!
