Chapter 755: Chapter 755 - The Story of Ling and Heng

Han Jin paused and then burst into laughter. “You’re really special. I’m afraid you’re the only one among the hundreds of members at the base who dared to claim that you don’t like Boss in his face. Although Boss is a bit grumpy, I wonder why you dislike him so much.”

Nanheng who was about to take the gun on the stone table suddenly paused.

Fattie was about to complain to Boss when he suddenly saw Boss’s eye turn cold. His fat body shivered in fear and he immediately dodged aside and dared not to draw near Boss.

Nanheng looked calm and glanced at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling didn’t deny or explain anything to him but just turned to leave, not taking Han Jin’s suggestion seriously at all.

Han Jin was just joking but didn’t expect this boy to be so cold...

He turned to look at Boss. After all, it was Boss who suggested training some long-range sniper and mentioned Feng Ling’s potential. If it hadn’t been Boss, Han Jin absolutely dared not to say that to Feng Ling.

But now...

Feng Ling had indirectly rejected Boss.

As Boss was not in a good mood, the air around the shooting ground seemed to freeze and everyone else did not even dare to breathe.

“Boss, as for the sniper thing...” Han Jin hesitated and still took up the courage to ask him.

Nanheng played with the gun with one hand and glanced at Feng Ling’s receding figure.

“Give her two years to train her physical endurance. If her physical endurance still can’t meet the standard in two years, she will be deemed to give up the training chance of long-distance sniper.” Nanheng’s voice was icy.

Nanheng told himself that he gave him the chance because he was talented, had good marksmanship, was at a suitable age for receiving training, and met almost all the conditions. He would have kicked him out of the XI Base if it hadn’t been for the need for such a talented newbie.

——

Although Nanheng was in charge of XI Base, he also had to assist the Li family in dealing with a lot of affairs. He received training at XI Base when he was little and took over the base after he grew up. But now he had to go back to the Li family to tend to something urgent and the base would be in the temporary charge of Los Angeles police and some people of the Li family for two years.

That was to say, for more than two years, Nanheng wouldn’t show up at XI Base.

Before leaving, he hosted a banquet for his brothers at the base at a seven-star hotel in Los Angeles.

The hotel was by far the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Los Angeles, which was resplendent and beyond the pale of ordinary people.

Seeing Nanheng’s car arrive, the waiters came out to greet him in an orderly manner.

When they walked into the hotel, the lobby manager suddenly caught sight of Feng Ling who walked in behind. The manager took a look at her and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Wasn’t this guy... the bastard who accidentally broke in and smashed their wine glass tower two months ago?

The lobby manager’s stare fixed on Feng Ling for several seconds, but she just walked in as if not knowing him.

Seeing her wearing the same black uniform as the men brought by Mr. Li, the lobby manager didn’t know who she was and dared not say anything because he knew the people of XI Base were not those you should mess with. But he kept glancing at Feng Ling.

Nanheng was walking in front but noticed the change of the lobby manager’s look.

The tall, strong man stopped, glanced at Feng Ling with his clear, cold eyes and then looked at the lobby manager. “What? Do you know each other?”

The lobby manager hesitated. He thought Feng Ling looked much smaller than the other members and maybe he was insignificant at the base, so he said to Nanheng all smiles. “Mr. Li, is he called Feng Ling?”

Nanheng’s face remained cold and he glanced at Feng Ling who remained expressionless and asked, “Yes?”

“A few months ago, he knocked over the red wine glass tower in our hotel’s hall and dozens of high-grade crystal glasses were broken. Since he was young and had no money to compensate, so our boss let him work in the kitchen for a month to repay the crystal glasses, but he only worked for a week in the kitchen and ran away. If we hadn’t pitied him who was still a kid, we would have called the police. After all, those crystal glasses are really expensive.”

Feng Ling had known what awaited her when she walked into the hotel. She not only left in advance, but also broke much high-grade tableware before she left.

Why did she leave?

That was certainly because every single staff member of this hotel was snobs, from waiters to cooks. They thought they could bully her because she was young, so they picked on her anywhere, anytime and even humiliated her, which touched her bottom line. In the end, she kicked over the dish-washing machine in the kitchen and left.

Ten security guards of this hotel put together wouldn’t be able to beat her, so nobody could stop her from leaving.

Hearing the lobby manager’s words, Nanheng turned his eyes to Feng Ling. “Is what he said true?”

Feng Ling said flatly, “Yes, when I make money from a mission, I will immediately repay them. I will not tarnish the reputation of the base.”

Nanheng remained deadpan but the lobby manager taunted, “Mr. Li, I heard that all your members are carefully selected. Why do you pity such a small beggar and take him in? Two months ago, she passed by our hotel and saw through the window that there were a steak and pork bone rice leftover from others. She was probably hungry and wanted to come in and take it away. However, our hotel has its own rules and it is impossible for her to take it away. When she was chased out by our security guards, she hit them and knocked over the red wine tower.”

Nanheng remained silent and looked at Feng Ling who showed no expression. When the lobby manager thought with satisfaction that Mr. Li would surely kick this brat out, Nanheng called his name, “Feng Ling.”

He continued, “What else would you like to eat besides steak and pork bone rice?”

The lobby manager was surprised and turned his eyes to Feng Ling in shock.

Feng Ling took a look at Nanheng, wondering why he wasn’t pissed. She disgraced XI Base, didn’t she?

Looking at his eyes, Feng Ling paused and said, “Those two look good. I didn’t eat them and don’t know how they taste.”

“You wanna try?”

Feng Ling looked at him again and nodded.

Nanheng coldly glanced at the dumfounded lobby manager. “Five portions of steaks and five ones of pork-bone rice. If it’s not enough, order some more.”

The lobby manager. “...???!”
