Chapter 747: The Story of Ling and Heng (10)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the saying went, enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.
Now it really happened.
Feng Ling could only be thankful that her face had not been seen in the sauna room, but it was clearly not that easy for her to muddle through.
Seeing Li Nanheng’s car driving in, K took Feng Ling’s hand and was about to go over, but as soon as he took her hand, she shook his hand away.
K paused and looked back at her. Seeing her deadpan, he smiled awkwardly. “Sorry, I forgot that you don’t like others touching you.”
In fact, K was only about twenty-three, only five years older than Feng Ling, but unlike Feng Ling who was calm, mature, cold, and unpredictable, he was not quite mature.
Feng Ling didn’t speak. She took a cold glance at the black Hummers and said, “Your base is not suitable for me. I don’t want the gun. Keep it for yourself. I’ll be off in a minute.”
“Where are you going? Thank you for these two days. Not only did you save my life, but you also helped me clean the wound on my back. You are really a great benefactor to me. Didn’t you say you didn’t have a place to live? Since you have such great martial skills, why don’t you just stay in our XI Base?” K said and whispered to her, “You know what, not everyone can get into our XI Base, but with your ability, I’m sure you can be admitted. Besides, you’ve saved me. You can be admitted as long as I introduce you to the drillmaster. And our boss has some family affairs to deal with recently and doesn’t show up often, so the drillmaster will be responsible for member recruitment. Although our boss is not easy to get along, the drillmaster is. You can rest a.s.sured! You’ll surely be able to stay here!”
Feng Ling: “…”
But she didn’t want to stay here.
But since she was surrounded by men with good martial skills, she stood still and said nothing.
“Our boss has got off the car. Do you want to meet him?” K asked.
“No.”
Simple and clear.
Her voice was so cold that even K looked at her in surprise.
However, Feng Ling remained deadpan and no one could know what she was thinking of.
As the black Hummers stopped, many of the men came up to greet Nanheng, but Feng Ling had no intention of approaching it. She turned and walked to the back of the crowd, arms around her chest, silently looking at the car surrounded by people and thinking.
Xi Base was indeed the best military training base in the United States. It was connected to both the underworld and the police and no one dared to mess with it. Besides, its drillmasters and trainers were said to be top-notch. This place clearly suited her.
Provided that they were willing to accept her.
If Li Nanheng didn’t find she was that person in the orphanage, she could stay.
Li Nanheng was the boss of the base and there were so many members of the base. There were at least several hundred ones in the base, in addition to many that were out on a mission or served in the police. It seemed unlikely that a man so high up in the hierarchy would notice her, a small potato. He hunted her in the orphanage just because she accidentally saw him taking a bath…
And saw him naked.
And it was also because he found that she was a girl.
He was p.i.s.sed off.
Because of his anger and her provocation.
There was no animosity between them and they didn’t even know each other before, so he didn’t seem to need to pay attention to her.
At the end, when Feng Ling saw K standing still and no going over, she glanced at him. “Isn’t he your boss? Why don’t you go over?”
“Our boss is actually cold-tempered and grumpy, but he’s done a great job, and no one in the whole base can beat him. A lot of brothers are particularly warm to him because of their wors.h.i.+p for him, but he just ignored them.” K coughed and gave an awkward smile. “I wanted to go over to greet him in the first place, but you’re here. Since you were brought here by me, I can’t leave you alone. Besides, even if I go up to him, he won’t notice me. My martial skills and ability are not good enough to attract Boss’s attention, so I don’t expect to be noticed by him. It’s pointless for me to go suck up to him now.”
Feng Ling looked at K. “Your martial skills are not bad. You just need time.”
K immediately glanced at her. “How old are you? I need time? Then what about you?”
Feng Ling smiled coldly. “Eighteen, but I had been living in the jungle since I was a year old, fighting with animals and birds and learning how to defend myself, and when I was five, I began to learn how to shoot. Are you sure you want to discuss age with me?”
K. “…”
He only entered XI Base at the age of 20 and had received training for only three years. No wonder the gap in strength between him and her was so big.
In the near distance, when Nanheng got off the car, the people around sensitively noticed that the air around Boss seemed to suddenly freeze.
As known to many people, although Boss was the eldest son of the Li family, he didn’t contact his family much, but he suddenly went back to the Li family recently. Although no one knew what on earth happened, they could tell from Boss’s expression that they had to be careful recently in the base.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, the man who had just got off the car caught two figures in the distance. When he caught a glimpse of K, he remained expressionless but then he suddenly paused for a second and looked over there again.
The king-like man suddenly looked at somewhere and a sharp gleam flickered across his eyes, and everyone else also looked in that direction.
“Boss, you…”
The man raised his hand to signal them to shut up.
A gesture from him silenced the crowd.
Boss would only speak to the members when he wanted them to strengthen their training. The new and semi-new members who were still in training could rarely get the boss’s attention. Even many of the older members who had finished many meritorious missions did not get a chance to get close to Boss, but Boss, who had seemed indifferent to everything, seemed to be attracted now.
Who was that guy?
They knew K, but who was that boy behind K? His short black hair just reached the auricle. Although being coldly stared by Li Nanheng, he was also still casual and calm without any extra reaction.
The boy’s figure looked quite familiar from a distance.
Nanheng looked coldly in that direction, slipped one hand into his trouser pocket, and walked over.
