Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Auntie Jie Li didn’t want to sell Feng Ling, but she knew she couldn’t cheat the Boss, who had obviously suspected the truth.
This would not protect Feng Ling but would irritate him instead.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded slowly. “Yes…”
Li Nanheng’s eyes turned unfathomable.
“Boss, please don’t blame her. Feng Ling has been performing well at the base for so many years. Except for her gender, she has no difference with other boys, and I heard that even the lads couldn’t beat her. You can see how good this child is. You can’t drive her away just because she is a girl, right…” Auntie Jie Li tried hard to persuade him. “I know the base has its rules, but Feng Ling works so hard, I don’t want to see her being driven out…”
Li Nanheng was expressionless. He just looked at her indifferently. “What was about that sanitary napkin?”
Auntie Jie Li dared not conceal it any longer and said with red eyes, “Feng Ling is in her period today, but it may have been unexpectedly ahead of time, so she was unprepared. I found she was bleeding, so I gave her two sanitary napkins… I didn’t know that she was a girl until today…”
The more she said, the more anxious she was, and in the end, she begged again, “Please don’t drive her away, Boss…”
Li Nanheng’s eyes were cold and clear, and he suddenly turned around and walked out.
Auntie Jie Li wanted to chase out but stopped when she saw his cold and resolute receding figure. He quickly stepped into the night outside the canteen.
“What can I do…” Auntie Jie Li glanced at her phone, wondering if she should inform Feng Ling.
But from the expression of Boss Li just now, she knew that if she continued to meddle in this matter, the result was not likely to favor her or Feng Ling.
Besides, he was going to Feng Ling, and now it would be useless even if she informed Feng Ling in advance.
After walking about 100 meters away from the canteen, Li Nanheng took out his phone without any expression and called Xiao Xu. “Give Aunt Jie Li who is working in the base’s canteen a ten-year salary and an additional $300,000 to dismiss her. Tell her to leave the base tonight and not to tell anyone what she knows. Don’t let her communicate with anyone before she leaves.”
Xiao Xu didn’t understand why and was about to ask him when he heard Li Nanheng’s chilly voice. “You don’t have to know why. Just do as I said.”
Xiao Xu: “…Okay, okay.”

He was walking fast along the s.p.a.cious road of the base. Now everything was explained, and his face was as black as ink.
From the accidental glimpse in the sauna room of the orphanage, to his strange, erotic dreams about her, and the scenes haunting his mind after he returned to the base…
He couldn’t believe that he let a woman fool him for so long. He almost confessed his love to her and was even willing to admit that he was gay! But she just didn’t tell him the truth although he had warned her to be honest to him repeatedly!
How dare she disguised as a man in a place like XI Base?
And how dare she enter the base and show up in front of him as if nothing had happened after he almost found her in the orphanage?
How dare she?!
How dare she put a gun at him, and would rather be sent to Rogers Pa.s.s than to tell the truth.
Good.
Very good!
He walked back to the building where both he and Feng Ling lived. Downstairs, he met K and Tam, who were chatting and smoking. Seeing him, they immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully. “h.e.l.lo, Boss!”
Li Nanheng went straight in, ignoring them.
K looked at Tam in surprise. “Was I dazzled? Why did Boss look as if going to kill an enemy…”
Tam: “I feel the same…”
K: “Who is he going to see?”
Tam pointed upwards. “Probably, maybe… perhaps… he is going to see Feng Ling?”

Feng Ling hadn’t gone to take a shower yet. She was fidgeting because of what Auntie Jie Li said just now. The members of the Team Three were not on good terms with her because they were jealous of her. She was worried if anything bad would happen because of the sanitary napkin.
She took off the black trousers stained with blood and put on another clean pair of trousers. Just when she was about to take off her jacket, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Then, the man outside didn’t knock on the door but said coldly, “Open the door.”
Hearing it was Li Nanheng’s voice, Feng Ling paused and turned to look at the door. Although she didn’t want to see him and had been avoiding him for so many days, he was still her Boss, let alone that he was living next door to her.
It was so late. He wouldn’t have come over suddenly if there wasn’t anything urgent.
But she didn’t quite understand why her eyelids kept twitching.
She walked over, hesitated, and opened the door. The man outside the door immediately stared at her face. His eyes were so cold that she felt a bit dangerous.
Especially when the man glimpsed the trousers that she threw in the basket in front of the bathroom, his eyes were even deeper.
Feng Ling’s face didn’t change at all, and she asked calmly, “Boss, it’s so late. What’s up?”
Li Nanheng tried his best to restrain his impulse to strip her naked and said, “Go to my room. Sort out the recent data in the computer and save them to on the desktop.”
His voice was calm and emotionless, but for some reason, she s.h.i.+vered.
This was her job indeed.
So Feng Ling didn’t doubt it at all. She walked out of her room and quickly walked to the next door.
After Feng Ling went out, Li Nanheng stood in front of the door, looked at the room that was clean and concise and showed no traces of a woman, and walked in.
He walked over to the bed and looked at the black suitcase under the bed. More than once, he saw her put this suitcase under the bed, including when they were on the snowy mountain.
A scene suddenly popped up in his mind when he took off a long piece of cloth that wrapped her chest with his teeth…
What the h.e.l.l was this cloth?
The man squinted coldly and suddenly kicked the suitcase out from under the bed—
