Li Nanheng glanced at the smallest bulletproof shed of the camp and said in a voice that only K could hear, âWhen Tam and some others went to a nearby village to purchase food, they bought two jars of alcohol the local farmers brewed themselves.â
â...â K looked at the jars placed over there.
No wonder he suddenly asked him to get Feng Ling drunk.
It seemed that Boss had early planned this before, so he allowed Tam to buy alcohol. That was to say, now all he needed was a person to perform his âdirty plan.â
That person seemed to be him.
âBut,â K clearly remembered that Boss Li and Feng Ling were intimate no long ago. âWhy donât you do it yourself?â
Li Nanheng glanced at him coldly. âDid you see her even look at me today?â
â...â Well, no, but everyone was busy and nobody paid attention to what happened between the two of them, but it was true that Feng Ling was with other brothers and had no contact with Boss Li for the most of the time.
K still wanted to ask, but Li Nanheng had already given him a warning stare. âCome on! Go!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Feng Ling read about the minefield distribution and all other rescue preparations in the computer and had a general idea of the surroundings of the jungle.
Although she wouldnât act impulsively, she was really restless. The reinforcement hadnât come, which made her anxious, but no matter what, she couldnât just throw her tantrum randomly. She did think about going out to explore the way at night when others were not paying attention, but she knew that if she acted rashly, she might only cause trouble for others, so she had been sitting and planning how to save Ji Nuan to kill time. Otherwise, she felt as if her heart was being roasted on fire.
âOkay, donât stay here worrying alone.â Suddenly, K took two bowls over and put them in front of her.
Feng Ling looked away from the computer screen and looked at the bowls K put there, which were borrowed by Ji Nuan from a nearby farmhouse a few days ago. They looked very simple but were washed very clean. They used these bowls for meals these days.
K poured the liquor into the two bowls. âI heard Boss said that our reinforcements would arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest. If they still donât arrive then, weâll go in and save Mr. Mo and Ji Nuan by ourselves, so donât worry. There is only less than twelve hours before noon tomorrow. Be patient. If those gangsters wanted to do something bad to Mrs. Mo, they would have done it yesterday. I believe that like Mr. Mo, she has enough wisdom to survive and will find ways to protect herself. Donât be fidgeting like this.â
Feng Ling didnât speak but silently looked at the liquor in the bowl. After a while of silence, she asked lightly, âWhere did you get it?â
âWell, in the afternoon, Tam and some others wanted to drink some alcohol, so they bought two jars of liquor when they went to the nearby farm to purchase food. But Tam and Lei Peng were rather unlucky. They are on patrol shift tonight and canât drink. I donât have a job tonight, so I can drink some.â
K said as he picked up a bowl, took a sip of the liquor, and then sighed with satisfaction. âIt tastes great! The liquor was brewed by the local farmers and tastes much better than those in shops. And I heard that people wonât get drunk drinking this kind of alcohol. Would you like to taste it?â
âNo, thanks. I donât like drinking and Iâm not a good drinker. Drink yourself.â Feng Ling did not touch the liquor.
Gee, not good, Iâm going to fail the task Boss gave to me.
âJust have a taste. It tastes really good,â K said as he put the bowl to her mouth. âYou donât have to drink much. It helps you sleep.â
Feng Ling still didnât drink. âItâs okay. I canât sleep even if I drink.â
âBut you canât be anxious like this all the time. Go to bed and get some sleep.â
âItâs okay.â
Seeing that this method didnât work, K thought for a while, suddenly lowered his head, and whispered to her, âWhat the hell is going on between you and Boss Li?â
Feng Ling: â...â
While speaking, K accidentally saw Feng Lingâs neck and found there was a light bite mark on it: âToday, Lin Cheng and I saw you and Boss were...â
Before he finished speaking, Feng Ling suddenly took the bowl in his hand and drank a mouthful.
She just didnât know how to answer, nor did she want to talk about Li Nanheng, but she didnât know how to change the subject, so she might as well divert Kâs attention to the drinking thing.
K didnât expect that as soon as he mentioned Li Nanheng, Feng Ling suddenly began to drink.
K had thought of many plans to make her drink but never expected that she would start to drink so easily when he mentioned Boss Li.
Now he couldnât restrain his curiosity. His original purpose was to get her drunk, but now he was really curious about what was going on between her and Boss Li, and more importantly... how far had they gone!
However, Feng Ling seemed to be choked by the liquor. After taking two sips, she endured the burning sensation in her throat and didnât want to talk. Then she lowered her head and took a few more sips with a frown.
Seeing her only drinking and not talking, K leaned over to her and asked, âHey, donât be so quiet. Feng Ling, we have known each other for so many years and it was I who accidentally brought you into the base. I can be considered as the matchmaker of you and Boss, right? You canât keep this from me.â
Feng Ling: â...â She took the bowl away from her mouth with her eyes still on the liquor in the bowl, held back the hot sensation in her throat, and said in a low voice, âThere is nothing to hide. What do you want to ask?â
