Chapter 1270: The Story of Ling and Heng (533)
“Li Nanheng, what is this?” Feng Ling held the document that removed her name from the base.
The man sat up on the bed and said mildly, “I’ll send you back to the Feng family after dawn.”
Feng Ling stared at him for a long time. Finally, she pursed her lips and suddenly felt a chill on her shoulders.
It was so cold that she couldn’t help but shiver.
Li Nanheng saw it and was about to help her pull the quilt up, but Feng Ling suddenly moved aside and avoided his hand. At the same time, she raised the document that removed her from the base and placed the document and his signature and stamp in front of him. “Why?”
She didn’t ask why he was making her return to the Feng family.
Why did he remove her from the base? Why?
This was equivalent to driving her out of XI Base. She could no longer go back, nor could she retreat.
Even if the members of XI Base died, they would die with the name of XI Base. Only members who made serious mistakes would be punished and expelled. After being removed from the base, they would never be able to enter again.
From now on, she could not even enter the newbie’s training camp, let alone a sniper team.
Because she was completely unqualified.
She was completely rejected by the XI Base.
“The last wish of your father, Mr. Feng, was for me to send you back to the Feng family and cut off all paths of retreat outside, forcing you to go back.” Li Nanheng did not intend to hide it from her. “He knows that the Feng family has let you down, but he has no choice but to place the future of the Feng family on your shoulders. You will only choose to go back when there is no way out. He hopes that you can truly grow up and become a towering tree in the Feng family that can support the entire family.”
“Letting me cut off your path of retreat is the same as cutting off my own everything.” Li Nanheng looked at her. “I can understand his thoughts and respect his last wishes as much as possible. But the only thing I can do is to make you never return to the base. Cutting off all ties with you it’s impossible. I can’t do it.”
Feng Ling’s hands trembled as she held the document.
It turned out that her father had called Li Nanheng into the emergency room and told him this at the end of his life.
“Everything that XI Base has experienced is a matter of life and death. This kind of danger only exists on the surface. Whether you live or die, it all comes down to a quick death,” Li Nanheng said. “And the outside world is a world where no blood is shed. That is the true danger. After experiencing despair and pain, you may indeed grow up. You may become braver and stronger because of your desperate gamble, but I don’t plan to let you experience those things. I can’t abandon you. I will grow up with you. Even if I am not in the base, I will always be by your side, en?”
As the man spoke, he raised his hand to pull her out of the blanket to hug her.
However, Feng Ling’s eyes were cold as she moved back an inch. Her voice was mild and emotionless. She said, “Li Nanheng, you said that you would never push me away.”
“I didn’t push you away.” Li Nanheng looked into her eyes. “I’ll accompany you. I’ll change my identity and role. I won’t be Boss Li anymore, but Li Nanheng.”
When Feng Ling heard this, she suddenly smiled and put down the document in her hand. Her bare shoulders felt cold.
“Do you know what XI Base is to me?”
“I know.”
“Then do you know what this document that removed me from XI Base represents?” Feng Ling looked at him, and her eyes gradually turned bloodshot. However, she still forced herself to hold on to the blanket.
“… I know. ”
“I once told Feng Mingzhu that since I was a child, I had nothing but the XI Base behind me.” Feng Ling’s voice was very soft and gentle. “But I didn’t expect that one day, I would be removed from the base. It is no longer as simple as before. This time I’ll be removed from the base and cut off all ties with XI Base. You are forcibly removing the things engraved in my bones. Li Nanheng, how could you do this?”
“Feng Ling, listen to me. The business world is not like the battlefield. If you want the Feng family, you have to cut off contact with the base. Otherwise, those…”
“You don’t have to say anything. I understand.” Feng Ling looked at him coldly. “I understand all the advantages and disadvantages. As long as I’m no longer a member of XI Base, the grudges between me and those terrorists will disappear. If there’s any trouble, they won’t look for me and will only target XI Base, right?”
“I know everything, including right now. You’ve made all the decisions for me without even asking me a single question. Do I have any chance to object? Even if I’m crying or begging you, I can’t go back, because everything has already been decided by you.” Feng Ling slammed the stack of documents in her hand against the pillow in front of him. “Li Nanheng, did you ask me anything? Have you considered my thoughts?”
“Even if you ask me whether I want to or not, it’s fine even if you ask me.” Feng Ling stared at him and felt as though there was a taste of rust in her throat. It was so bitter that her voice became hoarse.
“Li Nanheng, what right do you have to make the decision for me?”
“I used to be a member of the outstanding team in the base. I, Feng Ling, am the best sniper in XI Base. I trained a group of excellent and qualified newbies. All of my members are there. You, Li Nanheng, why are you driven me away?”
Feng Ling gritted her teeth and said the last few words. When the man was about to silently hold her in his arms, Feng Ling suddenly shouted angrily, “Don’t touch me!”
“Feng Ling.”
“Don’t call me by my name, and don’t touch me.” Feng Ling tried her best to be calm and then slowly got up from the bed. Even though she was naked, she seemed not to notice anything. She opened the closet and took out a set of clothes, putting them on in front of him mechanically.
“Feng Ling, calm down. Don’t lose your temper. I did make arrangements for you, but for you…”
“You don’t have to say anything. I’m very calm.” Feng Ling took one last look at him. “You want me to go back to the Feng family? All right, I’ll do as you wish.”
Li Nanheng’s eyelids twitched.
He had expected Feng Ling’s reaction.
She would be angry. She might even hit him, scold him, and question him hysterically.
He never expected her to be so calm.
Calmly, Li Nanheng, who had already arranged everything for her and planned to help her, suddenly panicked.
