Chapter 907: The Story of Ling and Heng (170)
But he didn’t say anything.
Now he sent Feng Ling out at the most appropriate time so that she could avoid these troubles.
So Boss Li not only didn’t mean to drive her away but also protected her in secret?
But then he thought that it was impossible. The Li family had always been strict in upholding the bases rules and regulations. The elders of the Li family were very old-fas.h.i.+oned. If they knew that there was a female member in the base, they wouldn’t easily let go of this matter. Boss Li should not take such a big risk to protect Feng Ling, not to mention that everyone was gossiping about this in the base.
But if he was not protecting her… why did he send Feng Ling on a mission just at this time…

Early the next morning, Feng Ling, carrying a sniper rifle, left the base and went to the Los Angeles Police Station.
This task was very simple. She just needed to shoot the leader of the gangsters who was in the opposite building from the top of a 60-story building. This was easy to finish as long as she could shoot that guy precisely.
However, because the informant of the police would take the risk to lure the target to the proper position, so she only had one chance. Otherwise, many police officers would be killed.
The police did not quite trust her marksmans.h.i.+p, but after all, she was sent by XI Base, so they had no choice but to cooperate with her.
In the end, Feng Ling accomplished this task very well. She shot more than 300 meters away from the opposite building, blew out the back of the target’s head, and then shot the second-ranking gangster next to him, saving the police a lot of trouble.
Finis.h.i.+ng the task with two shots, Feng Ling put away the gun and left without talking to anyone.
She was about to return to XI Base when Xiao Xu called her, saying that the base needed to entertain the big shots in a few days, and there were some things to purchase; he gave her a list and asked her to purchase the stuff on the list after the mission before returning to the base.
After receiving the list sent by Xiao Xu, Feng Ling checked the things on the list, which were not all available in Los Angeles. She would have to drive to the neighboring cities to buy them, so it would take her at least two or three days to buy all these things.
That was great!
She happened to be on her period, and it happened that she didn’t want to go back to the base to face those gossips about her.
Feng Ling smiled, walked back to the car, threw the gun into the car, and drove to buy the things on the list.

In a large shopping mall in Los Angeles, the first floor of the shopping mall was the seasoning area.
Feng Ling walked in and walked towards the seasonings. She needed to buy 20 pounds of seasoning, which the base would use to cook meals for those big shots. This seasoning was called Misi, and few people had tasted it or known what it was. Its taste was very special, and its price was very high. The amount the base required was too much, so she had to come to this shopping mall to buy it. Every day, this store would only sell twenty pounds of this seasoning.
After Feng Ling told the shop a.s.sistant about her request, the shop a.s.sistant nodded and went into the warehouse. She waited outside. After waiting for about ten minutes, she smelled a very light yet elegant smell of perfume approaching, and she looked back, only to see a slim young woman wearing sungla.s.ses walked by. Feng Ling didn’t know what brand the woman’s clothes and bag were. She only saw an H on her bag and a J on her shoes. The other letters were not clearly seen, but they should be expensive.
She felt she had seen this woman somewhere, but she couldn’t recall.
The shop a.s.sistant had just taken out the 20 pounds of the seasoning from the warehouse. Suddenly, she saw the young lady who had just come in and hurried forward to greet her.
The young lady said something to the shop a.s.sistant, she hesitated, turned to go back to the warehouse inside. After a while, she walked out and said politely, “Miss Feng, this is the 20-pound Misi you want. It should be enough for the top chefs you invite to use. With this seasoning, dishes will be more delicious. Miss Feng, you have good taste.”
Feng Ling was wondering why this shop was a.s.sistant calling her Miss Feng. Why did she know she was a girl?
It… turned out that he was speaking to the one next to her.
Feng Ling walked over. “Excuse me, don’t you only sell 20 pounds of this seasoning a day? If I remember correctly, I came first, and you went to take these seasonings for me, so they should be mine, right? Why do you give them to this lady?”
She sounded calm, but her eyes were clearly warning this shop a.s.sistant.
The shop a.s.sistant froze for a moment, then looked at the so-called Miss Feng, and whispered to Feng Ling, “Sorry, this lady is the daughter of the Feng family. She is a VIP at our mall. If I offend her, I will be in serious trouble, so please wait one more day. Let her take the seasonings away today, OK?”
Feng Ling smiled, but her eyes were cold. “I can understand you, but I think that your shopping mall should know the first-come, first-served rule. Even if she is the first lady, she must abide by rules.”
“Well…” The shop a.s.sistant didn’t know what to do.
The young lady turned around, glanced at Feng Ling, then took off the sungla.s.ses on her face, looked at Feng Ling up and down, and then said, “Did I see you somewhere?”
After Miss Feng took off her sungla.s.ses, Feng Ling could see her face clearly and finally remembered who she was.
That time in the hospital, when Mrs. Feng and Qin Shuke were in her ward, Feng Mingzhu, the daughter of the Feng family, also came in. Feng Ling didn’t pay much attention to her at the time, but she had some impression on her.
Feng Ling recognized her, but after all, she was not familiar with her. So she said bluntly, “Miss Feng, I have just ordered the 20 pounds of Misi.”
