Chapter 1266: The Story of Ling and Heng (529)
Feng Ling didn’t know how to deal with her parents’ funeral. After Feng Mingzhu was taken away, she had been living in a daze for the past few days. During this period, she had cooperated with the psychiatrist to treat the two elders of the Feng family and had visited them. The two elders were already old, and in just a few days, they had lost a lot of weight. However, when they saw that Feng Ling was still standing here, they were somewhat relieved.
Feng Ling wasn’t sure if they knew about Feng Mingzhu. Since they didn’t mention Feng Mingzhu’s name, they should know.
Not mentioning her name meant that they didn’t want to mention these things again. This was also a good thing.
This showed that the two elders were not stupid. They knew the truth. Even though she was their biological granddaughter, they could not protect her when they found out about this. In fact, Feng Mingzhu’s original intention was to burn Feng Ling to death.
No matter how one looked at it, Feng Mingzhu was completely defeated because of her poor plan.
When the Feng family’s business came to an end, the base member who was in charge of dealing with the jungle returned with a few photos of the scene.
Feng Ling looked at the enlarged photos on her phone screen and saw that the jungle she had lived in since she was young had completely turned into a charred ruin. The entire jungle was no longer the same. The members of the base had taken photos of the house and cave that she and Li Nanheng lived in. As the house was near the cave, there were not many trees around. The tall gra.s.s had also been cleared because they lived there. There was nothing easily flammable within several hundred meters, so only the left corner of the cabin had been burned down. The originally beautiful cabin had now been completely blackened.
The clean, tidy, and lively courtyard that she and Li Nanheng had personally built was completely gone.
Even if the house was still there and she could still see the outline of the house, she could no longer live in it.
The psychiatrist that Li Nanheng had arranged for the two elders of the Feng family accompanied them home. He needed to stay by their side for a while.
After all, these the ederly were old and had seen too much wind and rain. Although the white-haired person sending off the black-haired person was really hurtful, they had recovered well. After several days of psychotherapy and emotional support, and after a quiet funeral, the two old people just wanted to go back and rest for a while.
From beginning to end, Li Nanheng was the one who handled the matter. He did not allow Feng Ling to interfere. After everything was settled, Feng Ling stood in front of the hospital entrance and watched the two elders of the Feng family being helped into the car.
K walked behind her. “Are you really not going back to the Feng family with them?”
Feng Ling’s family background was not known in the base, but the people around her had basically learned about it.
“If the Feng family needs help, I will do my best to help, but there is only XI Base behind me. The only one who can be called home is XI Base,” Feng Ling said softly as she watched the two elderly people get into the car.
K nodded. “That’s good. You haven’t interacted with anyone outside in so many years. Initially, we were still worried. If you really follow these two elders back to the Feng family to be some wealthy family’s daughter, that kind of scene would be really strange. You definitely won’t be used to it.”
“But then again, Boss Li is really spoiling you. After accompanying you for so long, you can finally return to the team, right? The newbies you trained back then are all good now. You can go back to the newbies’ training team at any time. Anyway, their drillmaster was sent by Han Jin.”
K was chatting and laughing with Feng Ling, and Feng Ling also responded from time to time.
Li Nanheng came back from outside and his eyes fell on K. K’s expression faltered, and he quickly took two steps back from Feng Ling and said with a smile, “Boss, I’m talking to Feng Ling. I’m afraid that she will go back to the Feng family with her grandfather and grandmother because she cares about them. But she had already made it clear that she has no intention of going back. Boss, you’re really good at keeping a lookout…”
Was he trying to trick him?
Feng Ling didn’t smile much, but after hearing K’s words, she smiled helplessly. “Boss knows better than I do what I think. Do I need you to tell me? I never thought of leaving you.”
“All right, all right, you’re the most loyal to the base!” K gave her a sideways glance. “I won’t disturb you from showing your loyalty to Boss. I’ll leave first. When you return to the base, the brothers will give you and Boss a proper welcome.”
Feng Ling nodded.
They could not return to the jungle. Previously, they had planned to return to the base after winter, but now it was only a few months earlier than they had planned. It was nothing.
Li Nanheng didn’t speak, but Feng Ling instinctively felt that he had something to say. After K left, she looked up at him. “Boss.”
She had always been embarra.s.sed to call him ‘hubby’ or something. Usually, she would just call him ‘Li Nanheng.’ To her, the most intimate and familiar way was to call him ‘Boss.’ Even in the past six months in the jungle, she often called him by his full name or ‘Boss.’ Aside from forcing her to call him ‘Hubby’ in bed, Li Nanheng had never forced her to change her words.
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“Home.”
When Feng Ling heard these two words, the image of the wooden cabin in the jungle that had been blackened to the point where no one could live in it appeared in her mind. She dismissed this unrealistic idea and thought of the Feng family.
Neither seemed likely, so she didn’t know which home he was going back to.
However, what had happened recently made her somewhat used to listening to his arrangements. She didn’t ask much and followed him. She opened the car door and was about to get into the car when she suddenly saw a doc.u.ment bag placed on the pa.s.senger seat. She glanced at it, picked it up, and asked him, “What’s this?”
“It’s for you.” Li Nanheng didn’t look at the doc.u.ment in her hand and replied, “Get in the car and go home. There’s no rush.”
Feng Ling got into the car and looked at the doc.u.ment bag in her hand. She didn’t see any words on the outside. He said he wasn’t in a hurry, so she put it in the box by the car door.
