Chapter 925: The Story of Ling and Heng (188)
After leaving the building, they returned to the place where the hummer trucks were parked. A crowd of military men had already formed around the vehicles. Their guns were raised against the base’s elites who similarly had their guns raised. This silent stand-off had already lasted for quite some time.
Li Nanheng watched as countless men from the military surrounded the vehicle Feng Ling was in. His frightening back view made it impossible for once to feel any warmth.
His eyes were dangerously cold, and as he slowly narrowed them, the world seemed to be engulfed in frost.
“Boss.” When the elites saw that he had returned, one of them quickly approached his side to whisper: “They don’t plan on letting us leave.”
“How’s Feng Ling?” Li Nanheng asked mildly.
“I’m not too sure. He hasn’t come out since K supported him in. He should still be unconscious.”
The elite member had more to say, but in a blink of an eye, the man, who had an outstanding n.o.ble aura, had already taken large strides to enter the crowd of men. He reached out and grabbed one of the military men by his collar.
Due to this sudden movement, the man’s grip around his gun weakened, and it fell onto the ground with a clatter.
No one had expected such a scene. Li Nanheng directly kicked him aside: “Scram!”
The men from the military had turned toward him in anger when they saw their leader rus.h.i.+ng over from the back. They saw that he did not plan on stopping Li Nanheng and understood that they had to allow the XI Base members to leave freely.
But earlier, they had heard that the people from XI Base had killed their commander. Under such a circ.u.mstance, they had to let them off?
Li Nanheng tossed his phone toward one of the elite members behind him: “Contact the United Nation’s Justice Department and our lawyers. If there is a need, XI Base and Feng Ling will fully cooperate with their investigation. Right now, Feng Ling’s injuries are serious. The XI Base will bring him away for treatment. We will keep him in our hands; he won’t go anywhere.”

Faced with countless guns, the black hummers drove off without hesitation. It stirred the dust in the air, choking the men and leaving tears in their eyes. They watched in disbelief as XI Base easily brought their people away.
K had already wiped away the blood on Feng Ling’s face and hands, but the wound on her forehead was distinct. Even now, it was still bleeding slightly. Even though it wasn’t a lot of blood, it was clear the wound wasn’t light.
K was concerned for Feng Ling, who had been unconscious the whole time. He turned toward Li Nanheng, who had tossed his cigarette lighter aside and remained silent after boarding the vehicle.
“Boss…” K understood that even if their boss had somehow managed to protect them this time, he would still be upset. After all, killing someone in the military district wasn’t a light matter. It was a miracle that he even managed to bring them away from that place. When K spoke, his voice was apologetic: “I’m really sorry, Boss. I didn’t expect things to turn out that way. For the past few days, I’ve kept Feng Ling by my side. He only left for a moment to change his clothes. I never expected things to turn out this way…”
“There’s no need to explain. I’ve seen the surveillance footage,” Li Nanheng did not turn back, but his tone was frigid cold.
K faltered for a moment: “Then, Boss, you must know that Feng Ling was truly forced to act. In the beginning, he actually didn’t…”
“I know.” Li Nanheng finally turned his head. His mild gaze landed on Feng Ling, who was leaning against the backseat doors. Her eyes were still closed.
Seeing the wound on her forehead, Li Nanheng picked up his phone and called Qin Siting, who was coincidentally in the country. He did not spare any breath on making conversation and only commanded coldly: “Los Angeles Fence Bay 99 Condo, tenth story. Get here in thirty minutes. Bring your medicine box.”
After speaking, he directly hung up.
K did not understand what sort of place the ’99 Condo’ was. He rarely interacted with Boss, and Boss also rarely shared about himself with the people in the base. He could only guess that this was Boss Li’s private accommodation.
In this circ.u.mstance, it was indeed inappropriate for Feng Ling to return to the base directly. It wasn’t too suitable to head to a hospital either. Having a doctor, they were familiar with come to treat her wound was the best option.
K turned toward Feng Ling, who was still unconscious: “If that fat commander smashed his head a few more times, Feng Ling’s bone might have really cracked. I’ve never met such an unhinged man! But Boss, he’s been unconscious for so long. Will he be all right?”
“If he weren’t all right, he wouldn’t have the strength to run out after killing a man,” Li Nanheng’s voice was low and cold. He sounded unconcerned as he answered mildly: “I used a lot of force to strike against the back of his neck. He won’t be waking up anytime soon. Let him use this time to compose himself. Otherwise, with the way he couldn’t recognize anyone earlier, do you think you can suppress him?”
K immediately fell silent.
Feng Ling’s gaze earlier was truly unusual.
It was as though she had become someone else. If she wasn’t mentally unsound, this could only mean the side she had revealed was her true self. She had hidden it under a gentle, composed facade but was provoked into revealing it by the fat commander.
To think that a small body contained that much frightening power; she was just like a bloodthirsty wolf in the forest.
K sighed and picked up another wet tissue to wipe off the blood on Feng Ling’s ears. He then glanced at her clothes: “Boss, I won’t wipe off the blood on Feng Ling’s body. I’m not sure if he has any other injuries. Remember to ask the doctor to give him a thorough check-up when he comes.”
Li Nanheng did not respond. He watched Feng Ling, who laid silently against the car door, through the rearview mirror.
He recalled her gaze earlier.
All of a sudden, his first encounter with her in that orphanage replayed in his mind. Although he didn’t get a clear view of her face at the time, and could only vaguely see her eyes through her bangs, it appeared exactly how it had been earlier. The frigid cold made it seem as though she did not possess any human emotions, anger, and the instinct to escape.
What sort of experience could lead a young, fifteen-year-old girl to have such a gaze?
The hummer truck came to a stop before Fence Bay 99 Condo. Li Nanheng directly instructed everyone to alight while he went around to open the backseat door. He lifted the unconscious Feng Ling in his arms and brought her out of the car.
K and the rest watched by the side. No one dared to speak or follow him in. Finally, as Li Nanheng carried Feng Ling into the building, they exchanged looks of dismay.
This place was Boss’s private accommodation?
He directly carried Feng Ling into such a place, just like that?
