Chapter 740: The Story of Ling and Heng (3)
Hearing his words, Feng Ling randomly picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and broke them apart, turning her eyes to him. “Whether I get killed or not is a matter of the future, but if you say one more word, I don’t mind killing you right now.”
The boy whose head was covered with blood: “…”
Shit, Feng Ling had only been in the orphanage for more than a year. He had never been close to anyone. This was the first time they saw him fight. No one expected him to be so strong!
——
At night.
This was the largest orphanage in Los Angeles, with a large number of orphans. The people from the base arrived at the orphanage in the afternoon and there were many children on the list, so they needed to stay here for one night and continue their screening tomorrow.
Feng Ling went to sleep on time at night. After all, she had nothing else to do except for sleep, but suddenly she heard someone moving outside the window and the way he moved around was very sneaky and not aboveboard at all.
This was only an orphanage. Was it a thief?
Feng Ling opened her eyes, sat up on her hard bed, looked out the window at a passing figure, got up, and went out.
As she walked toward the courtyard behind the orphanage, which was reserved for adoptive parents and visitors, she caught sight of the boys who fought with her in the dining hall today and heard them scolding from a distance.
“Where on earth did that bastard come from? How dare she hit me so hard? I still have pain in my head!”
When they were cursing, one of them suddenly sensed something unusual. When they saw Feng Ling casually walking up to them from the dark night, they all turned pale.
“What did you come here?”
Feng Ling didn’t answer. She was sure that figure running in this direction, but obviously he had hidden. She took a look at the bushes around deadpan.
“We’ve warned you that you will rot in this place after we are selected by XI Base. What? You know you’re not on the list, so you came out in the middle of the night to beg Boss Li for a chance? Let me tell you. Stay away from him! Otherwise, you don’t even know how you will die!”
However, as if not hearing them, Feng Ling just glanced around casually and ignored them. The boy whose wrist had been sprained by Feng Ling and forehead was wrapped in a ring of gauze flew into a rage. “Fuck! How dare you! I don’t think he dares to touch us since there are XI Base people around! Throw him into the pool behind. Let’s teach him a lesson today. This is not a place that he could boss around!”
There were twice as many people gathered here tonight as in the dining hall, and there were about a dozen in all.
This group of people thought that Feng Ling was doomed.
When they all ran at her, however, Feng Ling lifted her leg to kick the first boy to the ground. Then she caught the second one by the neck, turned her wrist to press him underfoot with a nice catch. Then she kicked hard at his back. Stepping this boy underfoot, she looked coldly at the others who hesitated.
“Come on.”
The boy who was kicked to the ground first felt a sharp pain in his insides and lifted his eyes in disbelief. He wanted to scold but could not. He felt like he was going to vomit blood.
Just as the third boy was hesitantly pouncing at her back, Feng Ling looked back carelessly. Seeing as he was seen, the boy was embarrassed into anger and rushed forward and Feng Ling casually dodged him. Although she didn’t even touch him, this idiot had run into the man under Feng Ling’s feet. He stumbled and both of them fell to the ground and one of them had his head bumped into a stone and blood flew out of his head…
Seeing Feng Ling still looking quite casual as if all of them put together wouldn’t cause her any trouble, the other boys who had already witnessed her excellent martial skills in the dining hall dared not come forward and hesitatingly drew back.
“If you are not blind, you should know I have a bad temper. Don’t mess with me. Otherwise, I don’t mind disabling you all here tonight. But since you’ve been wounded by me, I’m afraid you won’t have any chance to be chosen by XI Base,” Feng Ling said coldly.
With that, she continued to walk to the courtyard behind as if nothing happened, ignoring the boys who froze and putting all her attention on the man hidden in the shadow.
After Feng Ling left, on the second floor of the guest rooms not far away, two members of XI Base discussed, “This boy is not bad. He is way better than those wastes.”
Another member leaned against the window, glanced at the pursuing figure, and said meaningfully, “Someone broke in, probably with the purpose to assassinate Boss Li. The boy seemed to notice that guy and had the courage to run after him alone. Now we are out of the base. It’s not strange that someone wants to take this chance to assassinate Boss, but Boss is very vigilant. Don’t worry. Let’s just wait and see.”
Hearing his words, the other two members turned their eyes and found that Feng Ling hurried after that dark figure to the sauna room behind.
Tut, their boss liked having a sauna at night. Although the sauna room in the orphanage was very poor, he still used it. Now he was having a bath inside.
If the two people both got in, they couldn’t imagine what would happen inside.
——
Why did that guy suddenly disappear?
Feng Ling chased him all the way to here. Seeing what was in front of her eyes was the simple wooden sauna room of the orphanage. There seemed to be a light in it. By rights, that guy wasn’t able to get into it, because the door and the windows were shut, but he just suddenly disappeared.
Catching glimpse of a towering tree beside the wooden sauna room, she quickly climbed up it and stepped onto the roof. When she spotted that man had fled from the roof to the eaves of a house not far away, she immediately rushed to follow him with a cold look on her face. However, perhaps because the roof was stepped too hard by that man or in bad repair, as soon as she turned around, she heard the planks on the roof broke!
With a snap, she fell through three splintered planks and when she hurriedly reached out to seize the edge, the planks on the edge also cracked.
Within half a second, Feng Ling suddenly fell downward. With a bang, she felt into a pool of warm water. She jerked her head out of the water and her eyes met a pair of cold, black eyes in the mist…
