Lin Feng looked down, Wu Mei looked up. Their gazes met at close range for a few seconds. Then, almost simultaneously, they noticed something unusual.
"It's you!?"
They cried out in unison.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Feng realized the woman he was pinning down was the female thief he had encountered in the Emperor Dragon Building's warehouse! That gaze, that scent—it was unmistakably her! Wu Mei was indeed the female thief!
And from his gaze, Wu Mei recognized Lin Feng as well.
"You're an undercover agent?"
Once again, they both asked the same question at the same time.
After their previous investigation in the warehouse, they had both suspected the other was likely an undercover agent from the police, working towards the same objective.
Just as Lin Feng and Ye Lin knew the police had sent a female undercover officer to the Emperor Dragon Group headquarters, Wu Mei had also received intelligence. She knew that two special agents, one male and one female, had infiltrated the Emperor Dragon Building to work undercover, just like her.
After that simultaneous question, an immediate awkwardness filled the air between them.
Moments ago, Wu Mei had wanted to obtain information about the transportation department's routes and destinations from Lin Feng. In her eyes, Lin Feng was nothing more than a "despicable lecher."
Similarly, Lin Feng had been trying to get closer to Wu Mei to learn more about Niu Bi's plans and related confidential information. After discovering Wu Mei's scheme to drug him, he had genuinely wanted to teach this devious woman a lesson.
But now, their plans were in shambles. They were both undercover agents!
"AHEM. I received news a while ago that the police sent a female undercover agent. I just never imagined it would be you," Lin Feng said, coughing twice and smiling awkwardly at Wu Mei.
"Then why don't you let go of me! What kind of undercover agent are you? Let me go, now!" Wu Mei rebuked Lin Feng angrily.
Only then did Lin Feng react. Good grief, Wu Mei is actually a policewoman! He had never considered it.
Awkwardly releasing Wu Mei, they both lay on the bed, clad only in their underwear.
"Sorry," Lin Feng said, quickly pulling on his trousers. "I thought you were... well, deliberately trying to seduce me."
Damn it! Two undercover agents, a man and a woman, got a room and ended up nearly naked on the bed. Doesn't that violate agency regulations?
Wu Mei quickly pulled the blanket over herself, leaving only her head exposed. "Regardless of whether I'm an undercover cop or not," she said coldly, "your actions just now were disgusting. You're tarnishing the image of the police."
"Heh heh, I'm not a police officer, and it's not like anyone knows I am, so how could I tarnish their image? Besides, you tried to drug me. That's hardly something a police officer should be doing, is it?" Lin Feng retorted.
"You've got a sharp tongue!" Wu Mei glared at Lin Feng. "If you weren't a Falcon Special Agent, I would have killed you just now!"
This airhead thinks she could kill me? Lin Feng found it amusing but didn't voice his thoughts. Instead, he replied calmly, "Well, you didn't kill me. I can tell you were trying to get information about the transportation department from me, right?"
Seeing that Lin Feng had figured out her initial intentions, Wu Mei let out a cold snort. The thought that she had stooped to seducing a man who turned out to be her colleague made her extremely uncomfortable.
"You figured out my intentions that quickly? Also, tell me, who is your Falcon Special Agent colleague?"
Wu Mei really didn't want to make the same mistake again. If she went to great lengths to approach someone next time, only to discover they were another Falcon Special Agent, she felt like she'd want to die.
Moreover, she despised the higher-ups in the police force and among the Falcon Special Agents the most. Their lack of communication had led to this awkward situation where two undercover agents were unknowingly trying to extract information from each other.
"At first, I didn't figure out your intentions. To be honest, I also wanted to get closer to you to get information on Niu Bi. It was only when you gave me that water that I noticed something was off. So, I pretended to drink it and pass out to see what you would do. Even then, I couldn't be sure you were an undercover cop."
"As for my other colleague... well, I'll talk to her first. If she gets approval from our superiors for you two to reveal your identities to each other, she'll contact you then."
Lin Feng got off the bed, dressed, and glanced back at Wu Mei, still lying in bed covered by the blanket. The scene certainly looked as if they had just engaged in a passionate encounter.
Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, Wu Mei hesitated for a moment before asking, "You're in the transportation department, yet you don't know the routes and destinations?"
"I haven't been on any transport assignments yet. Besides, the transportation department seems to maintain strict confidentiality. You're Niu Bi's assistant; shouldn't you know these details? Doesn't Niu Bi arrange every dispatch personally?" Lin Feng countered.
Wu Mei shook her head. "Niu Bi is extremely cunning and suspicious. He never shares such information with me. He always arranges transportation himself, and very few people are privy to the details."
Seeing Wu Mei's disappointed expression, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and chuckled. "I heard Niu Bi is quite the womanizer. With your looks, he didn't take the bait? Heh heh, strange. Could it be you didn't... 'serve' him well enough?"
"Get out!" Wu Mei shouted coldly, throwing a pillow at Lin Feng. "I'm not that kind of person! I wouldn't use my looks to get information! You're disgusting! Pervert!"
Lin Feng retorted, "Not use your looks? Then why were you trying so hard to lure me to this room earlier? Heh heh, if I hadn't been careful, you might have lost your 'purity'..."
Wu Mei blushed, her embarrassment growing. Her beautiful face twitched, and she was at a loss for words.
She had only planned to lure Lin Feng into the room and drug him to create the false impression that they had slept together; she had never actually intended to sleep with him.
"If I were going to use my looks to seduce someone, it wouldn't be you..." Wu Mei bit her lip, looking at Lin Feng with a wronged expression.
In fact, ever since she was hired as Niu Bi's assistant, he had made numerous advances, both subtle and direct, wanting to sleep with her. However, Wu Mei had skillfully rejected and evaded all of them.
It was for this very reason that, although their relationship appeared normal on the surface, Niu Bi had actually distanced himself from Wu Mei. Perhaps in the near future, she would be dismissed, and Niu Bi would hire an assistant willing to 'please' him physically.
Seeing Lin Feng prepare to leave the hotel room without saying anything more, Wu Mei threatened, "If you dare to tell anyone what happened between us today, I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth and kill you!"
