Chapter 943: The Story of Ling and Heng (206)

Even though Boss Li never needed anyone to worry about him, her mind wouldn’t stop lingering on him.

She understood that these feelings weren’t born out of concern for him; it was a type of lingering emotion she could not fully comprehend.

After letting her thoughts run for a really long time, she eventually fell asleep.

——

The next afternoon, Feng Ling completed some basic physical training. She was becoming stifled to the point of feeling flustered staying at home, and saw that the weather outside was good. Li Nanheng had yet to send her any news; even when she sent him a message to ask about when he would return, he did not respond.

At twelve in the afternoon, Feng Ling put on a coat and headed out. She remembered Boss Li’s words well, to avoid leaving the residential area. If there were anything she wanted to eat or buy, there were two convenience stores located within the area. There was completely no need for her to walk too far.

She first headed downstairs and visited the condo Li Nanheng had said belonged to her. She opened the door for a glance and saw that it was decorated simply. As it had been unoccupied for quite some time, despite the clean and pleasant looking decorations, as she stood against the flooring, she felt that even her breaths were being echoed.

All that was lacking were furniture and electronics.

This condo was right beneath his. As she stood before the ceiling-to-floor windows, the scenery she saw was identical.

Even though she never asked about it, she knew that this was an extremely expensive residential area in Los Angeles. Every inch of land was worth gold. The small amount of money she had earned probably wasn’t even enough to afford the down payment.

After exploring the place, she felt that it wasn’t as interesting as Li Nanheng’s floor. She turned and headed out, taking the elevator down. She planned to visit the convenience store to buy some noodles.

She couldn’t keep ordering delivery food while Boss Li was away. She rarely had the opportunity to cook and wasn’t especially good at it, but was still comfortable with preparing noodles. She planned to have them with those ready made seasonings.

The moment Feng Ling stepped out of the building, she saw two people approaching.

Her expression instantly changed from composed to indifference; although there wasn’t much difference on the surface, her gaze had turned colder.

The two people approaching the building entrance were Feng Mingzhu and Qin Shuke.

The instant Qin Shuke saw Feng Ling, her eyes seemed to be radiating light: “Ah, Handsome Boy, you’re really here!”

Feng Ling glanced at them; she wasn’t very good at understanding the little thoughts that women had. However, she could tell that Qin Shuke’s character was carefree and innocent, whereas Feng Mingzhu was an extremely devious person. Feng Mingzhu wasn’t someone who held any power. What motives did she have in bringing Qin Shuke here?

Furthermore, hadn’t Boss Li already spoken very clearly to her?

And so, the reason Feng Mingzhu was here today, was obviously not to look for Li Nanheng.

Feng Mingzhu brought Qin Shuke here. Could it be that she was targeting... her?

“My cousin said she saw you here a few days ago. I didn’t believe her, but to think that you’re really here. Ah! What happened to your forehead? Were you injured?” Qin Shuke approached Feng Ling excitedly and reached her hand out to touch her forehead in concern. However, before she could even lean closer, the indifferent, composed young “boy” had already taken a step away from her.

Qin Shuke’s hand paused in midair. She stared at Feng Ling in astonishment. Although she knew that Feng Ling’s character was cold, her expression right now seemed to contain more. It was as though she was wary of and trying to maintain a distance from her.

“If Miss Feng hasn’t carefully investigated the reason I’m here, she would never have come. Miss Qin, didn’t you ask her for the reason?” Feng Ling answered mildly.

Qin Shuke’s expression instantly changed: “Handsome boy...”

“All right, Shuke, I don’t mind telling you this. This little handsome boy you’ve been pining over has recently stirred up a lot of trouble. Can you believe it? He killed a commander, and actually managed to coax the entire XI Base to pit themselves against the military to protect him. None of them are willing to hand him over. Right now, even Nanheng has brought him over to his home for him to nurse his wound. Even though he is clearly a troublemaker that has created such a big mess, he is able to stay here comfortably. He had the ability to cause trouble but not the courage to be responsible for his own actions. He really doesn’t have what it takes to be a man.”

Feng Mingzhu spoke with a cold smile, watching Feng Ling’s unfazed expression. She stood in her high heels and watched Feng Ling from above. “The Feng family also has relations with the military. If that hadn’t been the case, I would never have known that you did all of this, nor would I have expected this to be the reason you are now living in Nanheng’s home. Due to the mess you stirred up, Nanheng is currently enduring so much pressure in your place. Yet, you’re hiding here as though nothing has happened. Where’s your conscience?”

Feng Ling glanced at her. “Miss Feng, I’m uninterested in how you came to know of this but if you only heard briefly about what happened and are unaware of the cause and the details, I advise you not to speak as you please. As for whether Boss Li is currently undertaking pressure in my place, he will tell me this directly. There’s no need for Miss Feng to speak in his place. Everyone is aware of their own positions; I am also aware of mine. You don’t belong to the XI Base. You don’t have any rights to point fingers at me.”

Qin Shuke originally thought that since her handsome boy was here, she would follow her cousin along to take a look. After seeing the clash of resentment and indifference, she was immediately dumbstruck.

These two... what was going on...

Feng Mingzhu harrumphed with a smile. “I really wish to know how long you’ve been in the XI Base; how much did you have to contribute to the base to come out of this unscathed. You sure are amazing; you killed a commander, ah. The XI Base has been peaceful for so many years. This is the first time it has suffered such a big calamity and it’s actually because of you. I really didn’t expect this. What on earth is Nanheng thinking? He is actually protecting you!”

“Cousin, no matter what happens, if you don’t understand the full situation, it’s better not to get to a conclusion. Didn’t he just say that? Besides, the two of you have never had any conflicts. What are you doing ah...”

Feng Ling spoke up indifferently. “If Miss Feng truly struggles to accept this matter, you can say so clearly to Boss Li. I am currently unable to leave this place because I received his order to stay. If you are capable of making him retract his order, I will immediately disappear. Right now, you’ve shown up here to block my path and every single word you’ve spoken was meant to criticize me. You speak as though the person I killed wasn’t a commander, but your parents. I really struggle to understand what you’re trying to achieve.”
