Chapter 1271: The Story of Ling and Heng (534)
As Feng Ling turned to walk out, she suddenly saw the black uniforms she had changed out of yesterday.
Looking at the uniform, her eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness. The words “expulsion” and the stamp on the document kept appearing in her mind.
The jungle she grew up in had been burned down, and her cabin was gone. She thought she could accept all of this calmly, because at least she still had XI Base and Li Nanheng.
But she never expected that se would be removed from XI Base.
At this moment, she had nothing left.
What a good Li Nanheng. He clearly knew how painful it would be for her to be cut by this knife, but he actually did it.
Feng Ling clenched her fists tightly and walked out quickly.
“Feng Ling! Stop right there!” Li Nanheng abruptly lifted the blanket and got off the bed. He put on his pants and rushed out, grabbing her wrist.
Feng Ling knew that she couldn’t shake him off with her strength, so she didn’t struggle but stumbled when the man grabbed her. After she regained her balance, she turned to look at him. “I want to go out and have some peace.”
Her voice was calm.
Li Nanheng held her wrist tightly. “No, stay here. When you’ve thought things through, I’ll send you back to the Feng family.”
“Li Nanheng, I tried my best not to shout at you. Let me go out and have some peace. Don’t force me.” Feng Ling’s eyes gradually turned red.
“I’d rather you shout at me than hold it in like this. Before you truly think things through, you can’t leave my sight.”
“What right do you have to restrict me like this? I’m no longer a member of your base. I have my freedom!” Feng Ling raised her voice uncontrollably. “Let go of me!”
“Because I’m your man? I’m your future husband!” Li Nanheng did not hesitate and did not intend to let go.
Feng Ling suddenly smiled.
“What did you say just now? You cut off my escape route, but you can’t bear to cut off everything. Can you?” Feng Ling looked at his eyes and slowly pulled her hand away from his wrist. Finally, she took her hand out and took a step back, refusing his touch. She said coldly, “All right, I’ll make the decision for you. I’ll cut it for you.”
“What do you mean?” Li Nanheng’s eyelids twitched.
“Li Nanheng, let’s break up.” Feng Ling’s voice was soft but clear.
“Take your words back. I’ll pretend I never heard them.”
“There’s no need to take it back.” Feng Ling looked at him coldly. “Don’t you want to cut off my escape route? All right, I’ll do it myself!”
“Feng Ling!”
“Li Nanheng! From now on, I have nothing to do with you! If you dare to follow me and harass me again, I’ll call the police! I’m no longer a member of XI Base. I enjoy the legal rights of an ordinary American citizen! I’ll call the police! I’ll do my best to cut everything off from you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around, pushed open the door, and strode out. She left the angry-looking man behind and entered the elevator without looking back.
She walked out of the apartment in a fit of anger. When she passed by a flower bed, it was likely because of the various missions she had taken on many years ago, as well as the various external and internal injuries she had suffered. The only thing she had been depressed about since she was a child suddenly exploded in her heart. The wounds on her shoulders, which had long healed and no scars could be seen, were all screaming in pain, and inch by inch, it was as if something was cutting her heart.
The pain caused her entire body to tremble. All of a sudden, she felt a fishy taste in her throat. She stumbled and threw herself against the flower bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. She watched as a large mouthful of blood spurted out. She stood stiffly for a long time, staring at the blood. Then she took a deep breath, got up, and continued to walk out.
When she about to leave the apartment, the two security guards saw the blood on her lips and chin and rushed out to ask her what was wrong, but Feng Ling walked out with a blank expression as if she didn’t hear them.
She didn’t even look at the alternating traffic lights by the roadside. It was as though she couldn’t see all the cars passing by quickly.
Several cars were forced to stop by her ghost-like figure on the road. They were so angry that they kept honking at her. Some even poked their heads out to scold her for being crazy.
Hearing this, Feng Ling turned around and looked coldly at the person who was scolding her.
When the people in the car saw the blood at the corner of her mouth and her cold eyes, they subconsciously closed their mouths and cursed lowly. They quickly drove the car past her.
A few minutes later, the security guard saw Li Nanheng walking out quickly and rushed forward to ask, “Mr. Li, did something happen?”
Li Nanheng had just passed by the flower bed and ignored the security guard’s words. His eyes were searching outside when he suddenly heard the security guard say, “We just saw the lady who came back with you yesterday. Just now… she seemed… uncomfortable and vomited something.”
They did not dare to say that she had vomited blood. After all, it sounded quite frightening. How could a person suddenly vomit so much blood? It was not like they were acting in a martial arts drama.
Li Nanheng’s gaze paused because of the security guard’s words. He turned to look at the flower bed.
There was a patch of dried blood on the edge of the flower bed.
Blood?
He seemed to recall that Feng Ling’s stomach had been uncomfortable when she carried Qin Qiu out of the jungle a few days ago. The day before the incident, she had just vomited and went to the hospital. At that time, she was not feeling well, but she endured all the discomfort and rushed into the sea of fire to carry Qin Qiu out. Afterward, her complexion had been very poor. Even Li Nanheng had thought that she was in a bad state because of her parents’ death. In the next few days, she had been dealt a heavy blow by her parents, but she endured it and did not cry or complain. She quietly and sensibly worked hard to live a good life.
Looking at the bloodstains, Li Nanheng felt his temple throbbing. He quickly walked out, only to see that the cars were moving back and forth quickly. Feng Ling was nowhere to be seen.
She only wore a set of clothes and did not bring her phone with her!
Li Nanheng rushed outside but couldn’t find her. He then drove around to search for her. Finally, he drove the car back and asked the security guards to retrieve the surveillance cameras. At the same time, he called the Traffic Bureau to find all the surveillance cameras in the vicinity.
He shouldn’t have been angered by Feng Ling’s words and delayed for so many minutes. He should have chased after her and detained her so that she wouldn’t leave in such a daze!
