As soon as her eyes met Li Nanheng’s, Feng Ling took a step back. Without any expression in her face, she simply said, “Boss.”
Qiao Fei wasn’t sure if Boss Li had heard the conversation between him and Feng Ling or not. He turned around to take a look at him but didn’t find any clues from Li Nanheng’s expression, so he just explained, “Feng Ling was injured when she was on the rescue mission in that cruise ship with me. I watched her jump into the sea because of the explosion and pulled her out of the sea. I didn’t have time to visit her during the week of her hospitalization. Now she has come back today, so I came to visit her and remind her to pay attention to her health while training. Don’t work so hard. ”
Li Nanheng’s eyes glanced across Qiao Fei’s face. “I remember the members of the sniper team are on a mission today. Why didn’t you go with them? You just let the four members who are still in training go themselves?”
“K and the other three members have mastered the skill of using a sniper rifle. The four of them are enough to handle this task. If the action is too dangerous, I will definitely follow along.” Qiao Fei smiled faintly. “Boss, Feng Ling is also a member of the sniper team. You’re unhappy when I didn’t follow the other four to go out on a mission, so are you when I care about another member. It’s really difficult to be a Deputy Drillmaster you like.”
Qiao Fei said this and looked straight at Li Nanheng’s eyes, only to find that Boss Li’s eyes were icy.
But what made Qiao Fei more nervous was the atrociousness in his eyes. From the first day Qiao Fei entered the base, he knew that Boss Li was not someone he should mess with. But at this moment, he found Boss was even scary.
But Boss Li cared about Feng Ling too much.
Was it possible that Feng Ling’s secret had been found out by Boss Li?
No.
Firstly, Li Nanheng was the person in charge of XI Base. He had to be responsible for the base. If he knew the gender of Feng Ling, he must act in accordance with the rules and regulations of the base regardless of what he really thought of. It would be impossible for him to let Feng Ling continue to stay in the base, let alone assign her tasks.
And if Boss knew that Feng Ling was actually a girl, he wouldn’t make her do all kinds of intensive training so mercilessly. Feng Ling’s training intensity was even greater than K and other men.
“Go back to your Team Two if you think it’s too difficult for you. There are a lot of drillmasters in the base who are skilled in shooting and sniping.” Li Nanheng showed no mercy.
All the drillmasters in the base were excellent members promoted from the old members who have trained here for many years and had been accustomed to Boss Li’s sharp tongue. They knew although Boss was sharp-tongued, he cared about every member’s life on every mission and tried his best to make them safe. He was almost a perfect boss except for his bad temper.
Qiao Fei had been used to his temper early, especially after he came to the sniper team, Boss Li became increasingly picky on him.
Now the situation was even worse. Li Nanheng had approached him and his cold and proud face gave him an uneasy sense of oppression at this moment.
“Boss, I know you’re joking with me. But my team member is here. Please give me some face, all right?” Qiao Fei who stood next to Feng Ling said with a smile, trying to save himself a little face and then winked at Feng Ling, hinting her to leave now.
Feng Ling turned around deadpan and was about to leave but was suddenly stopped by Li Nanheng. “Stop, do I let you go?”
Feng Ling stopped her steps and turned to look at him.
The man walked to her side and leaned over. His cold breath hit her ears. “Do you remember what you said to Han Jin when you returned to the base and went to Team One?”
“I said that I had been in the hospital for so many days and my limbs felt a little stiff, so I needed to resume training immediately. Otherwise, it would affect my performance in the sniper team in the future,” Feng Ling answered calmly.
“Did I give you a break this afternoon?”
“Yes, you did, but I asked to train myself.”
“So do you feel wronged experiencing heavy rain during training?”
“No, I don’t.”
“If you don’t feel wronged, why did Deputy Drillmaster Qiao bring you here and tried so hard to comfort you? If you feel upset, shouldn’t you just tell me, your boss? When did Deputy Drillmaster Qiao become your part-time psychologist? “Li Nanheng’s voice was light and indifferent but it was so low and cold that Feng Ling could clearly sense that the man seemed really upset.
But Feng Ling could get what he was implying. He was warning her to keep a distance from Qiao Fei.
Qiao Fei was the deputy drillmaster of the sniper team. She didn’t have much contact with him except in training. Why did Li Nanheng suddenly remind her to keep a distance from Qiao Fei?
Qiao Fei just saved her last time on that island. Apart from it, he was caught talking to her today.
Qiao Fei put his hand to his mouth and coughed. He cleared his throat and said, “Boss, Feng Ling is a member of the sniper team. He was injured before my eyes and it’s my duty to express my concern to him. I don’t really get what you mean.”
Li Nanheng didn’t get Feng Ling’s reply but Qiao Fei’s. He suddenly smiled but his eyes were cold. The moment he turned his eyes to Qiao Fei, he seemed to be able to freeze the latter into a popsicle and thrust him into the wall crack. “So you pull him, a man, into the corridor to whisper to his ear just because you want to show him your concern?”
It seemed that he didn’t want to let Qiao Fei off today!
Feng Ling looked back at the two bosses who were staring hatefully at each other. One was cold and indifferent and the other was smiling coldly. She immediately shook her wrist that was sore from training. The rain outside had already stopped. But she was still drenched and in a mess unlike the young master of the Li family next to her who looked still noble and clean although he was wearing the same uniform as her.
The mere breath of the man standing next to her made her feel much stressed and extremely cold.
Besides, there was also Qiao Fei beside her who was always smiling but actually from a very powerful family too. Now Feng Ling felt that no matter if her gender was found out by the Boss or Qiao Fei, it would be a disaster for her.
“Boss, Deputy Drillmaster Qiao, I’m still wet. May I go back to take a shower first? Otherwise, if I catch a cold tomorrow, I’m afraid I may collapse on the training ground and disgrace the sniper team.” Feng Ling shook her wrist and raised her hand to massage her own shoulder.
“Then go upstairs and take a shower. Autumn is coming to Los Angeles. The autumn rain is very cold. Don’t catch a cold.” Qiao Fei completely ignored Li Nanheng’s cold eyes, smiled at Feng Ling and waved at her, signaling her to go up.
