Chapter 912: The Story of Ling and Heng (175)
After leaving the cake shop, Feng Ling planned to go back to rest.
But she dared not to say that to Li Nanheng because she feared that he would say ‘We’re both men anyway. Why don’t you come and sleep in my room for the night?’
So they hung about the night market repeatedly, and Feng Ling still didn’t say goodbye to him.
Li Nanheng knew what she was thinking of. He’d like to see how long she could hold on, so he just accompanied her to hang around the night market silently. In the end, they bought a bunch of unnecessary stuff.
At nearly eleven in the night, the night market was about to close, and Feng Ling resisted the urge to yawn. “Boss, are you having something to tend to here? I think I’d better not disturb you. I have to go now.”
Li Nanheng said, “It’s okay. It’s late, and I can stay around here for the night.”
Feng Ling: “…OK, suit yourself.”
Looking at her embarrassed look, Li Nanheng secretly smiled. Looking at her fair face and short hair, he asked, “Do you want to find your parents?”
Feng Ling looked at him. “How?”
“If you’d like, you can give me your DNA, and I’ll have the police to find your parents for you. If your parents are still alive, it won’t take us long to find them. After all, technology is so developed nowadays. As long as you make up your mind, you can find them anyway.”
Feng Ling paused for a moment: “Forget it, I haven’t thought about it. I’m used to being alone since I was still a kid, and I’m not sure if they abandoned me or not. If they did abandon me, why bother? Even if they lost me by accident, it has been so many years, and they probably already have other children and a happy family, and forgotten me.”
“No one will forget their children.”
“Boss, I’m not very good at communicating with people. Even if I find my parents, I won’t go back to them. I’m satisfied with my current life.”
Looking at her calm expression, Li Nanheng raised his hand and was about to rub her hair, but at the moment he raised his hand, he paused and put it back into his pants pocket, saying mildly, “It seems that you have a deep feeling for the base.”
“XI Base is the only place where I feel at home,” Feng Ling answered truthfully.
Seeing the faint trace of fatigue in her eyes, Li Nanheng stopped. “Go to rest. Go back to the base after the procurement. Don’t run around.”
Feng Ling nodded.
After Li Nanheng left, Feng Ling looked down at the pile of things in her hand. There were cake leftovers and some gadgets they bought from the roadside stalls. And she was surprised to find that these gadgets were mostly pink.
Boss Li mostly bought these for her. Why did he buy so many pink stuff… for her…
But they looked really nice.

Two days later, Feng Ling brought the supplies she bought back to the base.
Staying outside these days, she didn’t have so much training, so her belly no longer ached, and her period was almost over. She was ready for the investigation of the United Nations and the US military.
The night before the delegation visited, Feng Ling took a sniper rifle to practice while there was no one on the training ground. When she arrived at the training ground, however, she heard several gunshots and saw that K was practicing on the ground.
“What a coincidence.” Hearing the footsteps, K looked back. When he found it was her, he laughed and carried the gun to sort out the remaining bullets, and then he looked at the gun in her hand. “No wonder your assessment results are so good. Did you often secretly come out at night to practice like this?”
“No, I rarely come out at night. There will be a delegation coming to the base tomorrow, so I came to practice.” Feng Ling walked over.
Then she found that the other three were also here.
The five of them looked at each other and laughed.
Tam said, “It seems that we all think the same! Boss Li and the Deputy Drillmaster Qiao taught us personally, so we must not lose the base’s face.”
Although they had been training for a whole day, they were still full of spirits, laughing and talking while practicing marksmanship.
Many years later, when they recalled this calm night, their blood still boiled.

The next day, the delegation arrived. There were about seventeen or eighty members of the delegation. It was said that they were all big shots from the United Nations and the military.
Although XI Base was under military management, the members would slack off occasionally, but this time, no one was careless. Everyone knew clearly how important the inspection was, so everyone took it seriously.
After a whole day of inspection, from the elite team to the rookie team, all the training camps were reviewed. From melee combat and long-range shooting to long-range sniper, these professional training camps had also been reviewed.
The teams were inspected one by one. In the evening, the sniper team came out last. The five of them shot from three hundred meters away, and all hit the bull’s eye.
When these five people first entered the sniper team, they varied in marksmanship, but after so many months of training, their marksmanship was about the same.
Only Li Nanheng and Qiao Fei, who personally supervised the sniper team every day, knew how much effort each of them had made. Even last night, the five of them secretly went to the training ground to practice. They knew clearly how excellent and united they were.
During the inspection, almost every training camp could win cheers. It turned out that XI Base was worth its reputation.
When the sniper team was performing, applauses rang ceaselessly. Even a leader of the United Nations couldn’t help but clap his hands hard.
At this time, a person among the leaders pointed at the five people in the field and then whispered something to the other leaders around him, who all nodded with satisfaction.
