Chapter 1000: The Story of Ling and Heng (263)
A chilly wind blew over and Feng Ling didn’t notice that she kept trembling.
She was so weak as to lose consciousness, but the sleet was getting bigger and bigger. The lightning struck and thunder rumbled as if in summer.
The raindrops in the snow soaked her clothes, and the chill penetrated into her thin T-shirt. Feng Ling was already exhausted. She looked up at the clouds in the sky, letting the cold snow and rain slap on her face.
Her pale face became even paler. Walking for so long, she saw no car passing by. It seemed that this road was leading her to the end of her life.
But she wasn’t afraid of death at all!
She had no attachment to the world.
Her steps became unsteady and her eyes gradually blurred...
In a downhill in front of the road, her legs completely went numb and the suitcases fell off her hand. Feng Ling stumbled, tried to bend over to pull the suitcase back, only to fall to the frozen ground heavily. She rolled down a few times on the ground and finally fell to the side of the road, motionless.
——
XI Base.
K and the other members stood in front of the gate for a long time. Seeing the change in the weather, they were even more worried about Feng Ling. They wanted to drive out to send her off, at least to a safe place.
But when they were about to drive out, the gate was blocked by a few people.
“Mr. Li said that, except for Feng Ling, no one is allowed to leave the base today. Otherwise, they will be punished.”
K clenched the steering wheel, wishing to hit these people away.
But this was Mr. Li’s order. If it weren’t for Mr. Li, no one would dare to stop them.
“That’s too much!” Fattie was sitting in the back of the car, his eyes red with anger. “How can Feng Ling survive such weather walking alone outside?”
The members in the car were all silent. A few minutes later, they got out of the car and rushed to the base hall under the snow and rain. Looking at the closed doors of the hall, they stood still in a row and looked at the door silently.
In the base hall.
The old men were watching the surveillance video of the sniper team’s everyday training. Suddenly someone came in and said, “Mr. Li, the four members of the sniper team and some members of Team One are standing outside under the rain. What do they want to do?”
The old men immediately looked out of the window and saw the base members standing silently in a row under the cold snow and rain.
Li Junyan’s eyes turned cold. “What is this? Are they threatening us? Is that girl so charming?”
Hearing this, A Feng, who was sent to the base by the Li family to assist Li Nanheng, walked to the window, looked at it, and then silently looked back at the old men who were quite angry.
“Actually,” A Feng said: “If you ignore Feng Ling’s gender, she is indeed a very good member at the base, and in fact, she does not drink much. Even if the parties, she would drink at most two glasses of liquor... It’s a pity that she is a girl...”
Noticing that these old men were glaring at him, however, he immediately changed his words and sighed: “But she has to leave. After all, she violated the most basic principle in the base. Especially her and Boss Li...”
Grandfather Li suddenly slammed the crutches on the ground and looked at A Feng coldly. “So you have known that Nanheng is having an affair with this woman?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If it weren’t for Mingzhu, we would probably be kept in the dark. If we hadn’t made Nanheng stay in the ancestral hall of the Li family, we wouldn’t have been able to drive this woman named Feng Ling away!”
A Feng paused. “We really didn’t know she is a woman. We only thought that she was a good-looking young man. Besides, she has always been excellent in all assessments and many members are no match for her. We did notice that Boss Li was treating her differently, but we thought nothing would happen between two men...”
“Stop it! It’s just your excuse. All you can do is to pass the buck!” Li Junyan turned his eyes to the people standing outside and said coldly: “If they want to stand, let them stand. Which of the members of the base hasn’t been trained on rainy or snowy days? It’ll be fine for them to stand for a few hours. Are they threatening us in this way? Do they think they can change the rules of the base by doing this? They are being naïve!”
A Feng was silent for a while and then turned to say to the person at the door. “Tell them to go back. It won’t work no matter how long they stand. Why bother to piss off the elders because of Feng Ling? This is not good for either side. Come on, tell them to go back.”
“Brother Feng, we’ve told them just now, but they refused to leave, and they just hope they can be allowed to leave the base in a car now. If I guess right, they just want to send Feng Ling away. In this weather, how can Feng Ling leave on foot? She may die.”
A Feng frowned and turned around, but when he was about to speak, Li Junyan had already approached. Standing by and hearing their conversation, Li Junyan said deadpan, “Send a liar away with the base’s car? How dare they?!”
“Mr. Li...”
Grandfather Li coldly glanced at A Feng who shut up immediately and dare not say a word.
A Feng secretly sighed. He had been in the Li family for so long and knew how stubborn these old men were. What really angered them was not that Feng Ling was a woman but that Feng Mingzhu told them Feng Ling used to live in Li Nanheng’s apartment for a long time and the two seemed to be in love.
This was why they wanted Feng Ling to leave the base.
It was really a pity! Feng Ling was the best member of the sniper team...
