Until the man approached, Feng Ling still stood in place and didn’t even bat her eyelids.
K who stood beside her was shocked that the Boss would go up to him, but his attention seemed to be on Feng Ling. He said with a seemingly flattered or complex expression, “Boss…”
Li Nanheng didn’t respond to him but just looked at Feng Ling and his eyes darkened.
He curved his thin lips and said coldly, “When did the base become a tourist attraction for strangers? Who are you? Do you know where this is?”
Looking at the coldness and obvious suspicion in Li Nanheng’s eyes, Feng Ling could guess that he must find her figure familiar, but, after all, he had not seen any part above her neck, and she looked a little stronger with the cloth around her chest, so he only suspected and wasn’t sure.
However, being stared at by him, Feng Ling, for the first time in her life, felt that her hair stood on end.
Not even a year and a half ago, when she was surrounded by police and faced with dozens of guns, did she feel this inexplicable sense of fear.
Had it not been for the clothes she was in and the cloth on her chest, she would have suspected that the boss of XI Base had recognized her at a glance.
But then she thought they had only met once in the sauna room, where they had been fighting all the time and it was so full of water vapor that they could not see anything clearly. She had not seen his naked lower body clearly through the mist, so how could he see her clearly?
Besides, half a year had passed.
But the man’s acuteness did make her feel very dangerous.
Feng Ling smiled coldly. “It seems that I need to see more carefully next time to rescue people, so as not to accidentally save people from XI Base and end up being called as a ‘tourist’ after being invited in.”
Hearing her words, Nanheng took a look at K who hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Boss, Little Brother Feng Ling saved my life. I was ambushed at the foot of Mount Veros, and nearly died at the hands of those men. Little Brother Feng Ling is my savior. He has excellent martial skills and his age meets the requirements of the base. Besides, he has nowhere else to go, so I let him follow me back to base. I was going to talk to the drillmaster, but I didn’t expect you to suddenly…”
Seeing Nanheng’s face was freezing cold, K didn’t know which words he said had gone wrong, but Boss looked so cold and he couldn’t help but panic.
“XI Base is so famous and I’m lucky to be here as a nobody,” Feng Ling said. She needed to find a way out for herself, but not a dangerous one. She also needed opportunities.
Nanheng looked at her with his unfathomable eyes and didn’t speak.
Feng Ling was not in a hurry. She stood in front of him and her upright stance was more standard than that of those who had been trained at the base for a year.
After a few seconds, the man finally blurted out a word, “Being good at fighting is not equal to having good martial skills and having good martial skills doesn’t necessarily mean having a chance to stay in XI Base. Since you saved the life of a member of the base, I’ll give you a chance. Wait for me at the training ground in the evening. At least you shall resist my attack three times.”
His voice was commanding and cold.
Feng Ling raised her brows and acquiesced in his words and K was very excited to hear this.
Seeing that Li Nanheng turned to leave expressionlessly, Feng Ling stood there and curved her thin lips.
As she expected, he was suspecting her. He intended to test her with the excuse of testing her martial skills. What would he do to her?
She had heard a saying from several Chinese among the gangsters, take things as they come. Since she wanted to stay at the base, she would just take it one step at a time and see how far she got.
She had to continue to keep it a secret that she was a girl. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be allowed to stay here. Besides, she had seen Li Nanheng naked. That might be his reason for kicking her out.
In fact, she didn’t see it clearly back then.
Feng Ling suddenly felt a bit aggrieved.
She saw nothing but ended up being hunted by him.
She was so wronged!
——
K arranged a temporary residence for Feng Ling, which was the bed in his room. Just as in the army, there was a bunk bed in his room. The only difference was that while in the army, at least eight soldiers shared one room, only two people shared a room at XI Base.
The man who slept in the lower bunk of K had been sent out on a mission last month and had not returned from Africa, so Feng Ling could sleep in his bed temporarily.
It was getting dark. K left the room after receiving the drillmaster’s call, leaving the room to Feng Ling.
When Feng Ling was sure that he would not return for the time being, she locked the door behind her, picked up the black uniform that K had just given her, and went into the bathroom.
She’d like to take a shower before going to the battle.
After the shower, Feng Ling changed into a black uniform. K said that he got this uniform the first time he came to the base three years ago when he was 20 years old, but a man of that age still grew, so after less than half a year, this uniform became too small for him. Therefore, it wasn’t much worn out and only a bit large for her.
And this uniform was great for her. A uniform a little looser was just right for her to hide her body shape.
Before coming to XI Base, to show his gratitude, K gave her a sum of money, saying that her clothes were worn out and asking her to buy herself some clothes, but Feng Ling didn’t buy any clothes. Instead, she went to buy some soft cloth to make better breast-wrapping cloth, with which she didn’t feel stuffy at all and she could also wrap her chest around a few more times to conceal her curves better.
On the other side of things, after returning to the base, Nanheng had a brief meeting with some drillmasters and then stood at the second-floor window in a building of the base.
One of his men who had just come in stood behind him and dared not to speak or go over to disturb him, but he couldn’t help looking at Nanheng, wondering why Boss looked even colder than before after coming back from the Li family. Did those seniors in the Li family do something outrageous to piss Boss off?
COMMENT
Although Boss was like a god at the base.
He was still a junior in the Li family.
Every one of those seniors in their family had led troops to fight battles and mastered military power. When they educated their children, they preferred to hit with a crutch or whip with a belt. Tut, he couldn’t imagine that scene.
But what was wrong with the Boss today?
Why did he keep looking at the training ground deadpan?
What was he looking at?
