Chapter 947: The Story of Ling and Heng (210)
After a few seconds, Feng Ling said indifferently, “What about the evidence? You shouldn’t judge what kind of a person I am only with the nonsense of the members who I don’t get along with! There are thousands of people in the base. I’d like to know who stood up to slander me and claim they could represent all the brothers at the base! Let me repeat, I didn’t do anything wrong. You can investigate me and I’ll be glad to accept any investigation on me. As for the rumors on me, I don’t care.”
She said calmly but everyone in the room could hear that what she meant was—-
Not all the members of the base were interested in this kind of gossip. Those who purposely popped up and complained about her when the military went to the base to investigate her harbored ulterior motives and must have been early planning to kick her out of the base.
In many cases, it was not the one rumored but the people who spread the rumor who were bad.
What Feng Ling was trying to say was that she was innocent, and if they wanted to find out about the truth, they should start from the source of the rumor instead of her.
Feng Ling’s eyes were calm and she remained neither overbearing nor servile. Although she was pet.i.te, she was fair-skinned and looked a bit cute. She was definitely not that kind of slick, sissy young man.
Of course, the premise was that Feng Ling did not lie.
Feng Ling looked upright, quiet, and obedient, so even those not interested in men wanted to help this poor, wronged young lad, not to mention that they were originally partial to the base.
So those rumors that were spread in recent days were crushed by Feng Ling herself.
The seniors of the Li family had a very rich life experience and were all shrewd judges of character. Now seeing Feng Ling with their own eyes, they had already had a rough idea of what kind of a person he was.
Also, if this Feng Ling really had any special feelings for Li Nanheng, they could find out easily.
But all they saw from Feng Ling’s eyes was just sincerity and purity.
Whether in this event or personal feelings, she was pure and clean.
But the seniors of the Li family didn’t reveal their thoughts at all. One of them smiled, looking at the other people present. “What else do you want to ask? He is here. It’s up to you whether to take him away and put him into prison, hand him over to a military tribunal for trial, or just kill him right here.”
The leaders of the military all frowned. If the people of the United Nations were not here, of course, they would choose to take Feng Ling away.
But now it looked as if Feng Ling was not in the wrong at all and XI Base was the victim, while the military was the bad guy who deliberately cheated Feng Ling into their base and set him up.
So what could they do?
Now they certainly couldn’t say that they wanted to take him away.
Just when a leader of the military was about to say ‘Just hand him over to a military tribunal for trial’ a leader of the United Nations suddenly said, “We’ve checked the surveillance video and the confessions of all parties. If Commander Rick were still alive, I believe the military will have to hand him over to XI Base. Now both parties have paid for what they did wrong, one was injured and the other was dead. They have already paid the price, so why don’t we just let it pa.s.s? Feng Ling is the best sniper of XI Base. He was also a victim but after all, he killed Commander Rick, so let’s not go through the judicial process but give him another proper punishment. There is no need to pursue the matter any further.”
The faces of the people on the military side immediately changed, and they clenched their hands in anger.
Let it pa.s.s?
So that was why the seniors of the Li family called them all over here today? They didn’t want to appease the military’s anger?
These old foxes! They should have known these old men were partial to XI Base! Even if they were not familiar with Feng Ling, as long as he was from XI Base, they would definitely protect him! And the military literally got no compensation for this matter no matter from Li Nanheng or these old men!
Feng Ling’s mind also went blank for a few seconds.
Just this?
She didn’t have to die?
This was the end the Li family had arranged for her?
She suddenly looked at Li Nanheng.
He was still standing there and looking at her expressionlessly. He seemed to be looking at her, and seemed like he was not, but even if he looked away, she still felt that he was paying attention to her.
He carelessly played with the silver lighter in his hand, quiet yet rea.s.suring, with an imperceptible arrogance and indifference.
Feng Ling’s heart, which had been pounding hard since Feng Mingzhu had said those words to her, finally calmed down. She looked quietly at him and then withdrew her gaze, waiting for the punishment for her.
Although she seemed to be out of danger, she couldn’t figure out the real intentions of the seniors of the Li family, so she just kept quiet.
Feng Ling didn’t like to argue too much for herself. Everything she just said was real and she wouldn’t say more about this matter.
And when she thought of the man who stood there quietly, she didn’t panic at all.
“There is another person involved in this matter, who is Daniken. Now that Commander Rick is dead, why not let him come and talk to us too?” Grandpa Li suddenly changed the subject.
The leaders of the military did not expect this. In the end, Feng Ling didn’t get any punishment, and now they even took the opportunity to start attacking the military.
“Call Daniken over,” a leader of the military said coldly to his men.
Then, Feng Ling found that when they began to talk about Daniken, she seemed to be out of this matter.
“Then… what… should he do now?”
She glanced at Li Nanheng, but the man smiled with one hand in his pants pocket and turned away.
Feng Ling was stunned.
Should she leave too? Should she go by herself… or follow him to go?
Should she follow him or not?
