âWhere are we going?â Feng Ling looked at him confused. Didnât he say that this weekend, after the afternoon training, the members would be on holiday?
Li Nanheng remained deadpan. âDo you have anything to deal with at the base?â
âNo.â
âThen follow me.â
What were they going to do out of the base?
Was there a mission?
Feng Ling didnât ask anymore, just turned back and politely nodded to Drillmaster Qiao who smiled at her kindly and waved at her.
Feng Ling followed Li Nanheng out of the training camp.
When she followed Boss out, she saw his black Hummer that had a streamlined body and a unique style. Feng Ling didnât know cars very well but the people of the base said the performance of Boss Liâs car was extraordinary and this Hummer was a Polar limited edition specially made by the U.S. Army. There were no more than three of these cars in the United States.
âWhat are you waiting for?â Li Nanheng stared at the boy who was looking at the car and then pressed the electronic car key.
Feng Ling looked back, walked over silently, but suddenly paused the moment she opened the door.
Why should she get in his car?
âBoss, where are we going?â
âJust get in the car.â
Feng Ling got on the car and fastened her seat belt. When the man got into the driverâs seat, she glanced at him.
Li Nanheng didnât look at her, started the engine, and drove the car out of the base.
After driving out of the base for about two kilometers, Feng Ling opened the car window and the wind poured in, blowing her soft short hair into a little mess and also affecting the man driving the car. The wind ruffled his neat, short hair, but he just drove quietly, and, for some reason, his calm face gave her a sense of security.
A sense of security.
Feng Ling used to rely on herself since she was a child. With her own ability, there were really few people who could give her a sense of security.
But at this moment, she suddenly had this feeling.
When this cool car drove into the downtown of the suburban area, many people passing by were shocked and curious by the sight of the car. Although there were no more than three cars in the United States, everyone could tell how expensive this car was. This car represented absolute authority, making many people guess who was in this car.
Nanheng held the steering wheel with one hand. His cold and calm face turned slightly when he saw the intersection ahead, and he turned the car to the right.
Then the car drove into a very busy commercial street, which was very close to the city center. This street was full of Western architecture and cultural features, although there were also many Chinese stores. The street was bustling with people and businesses.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Feng Ling followed him out of the car and walked next to this tall and upright man who looked so handsome in the black uniform.
People who didnât know XI Base would just think that the clothes they were wearing were particularly stylish, which were pure black and of a masculine style. The appearances of the two men were also particularly noticeable. One was tall, cold, taciturn, but good-looking like a figure in ancient Roman painting, and the other was young, fair-skinned, and pretty although he was smaller. His clear eyes were cold but very attractive to girls. Words couldnât describe how clean and handsome his androgynous face was.
More importantly, both of them were cold and silent. When they walked on the street, many women passing by couldnât help but hold up their cell phones and take a few photos of their side faces.
As soon as Nanheng took Feng Ling into a cell phone store downstairs of the mall ahead, the shop assistants in the store greeted them instantly.
When they approached, they found out that it was Li Nanheng. The store manager happened to be in the store today, who hurried forward to greet them. âYoung Master Li!â
This mall was the Li familyâs secret property. Although no one knew who its actual legal person was, the staff knew who their boss was. Seeing Li Nanheng visiting, they hurriedly came forward to serve him for fear that they might lose their job if their boss was unsatisfied.
Nanheng glanced at the manager. âShow us a few of the latest cell phone models. They must be lightweight, waterproof, and have a good signal.â
Hearing his words, the manager looked at in shock. âYoung Master Li, did you... come here to buy a cell phone in person? â
Feng Ling didnât understand what was going on, so he took her out of the base just to buy himself a cell phone?
Boss Li was so good at the martial skill and certainly didnât need to take someone as a bodyguard, so what did he bring her out with him?
âYes, Iâm here to buy him a phone.â Nanhengâs tone was indifferent. He turned his head, and his chin pointed at Feng Ling standing next to him.
Feng Ling turned her head sharply and looked up at him. The manager also quietly glanced at Feng Ling incredulously. Young Master Li wouldnât even bother to come out to buy his own cell phone, because there were special persons in the Li family responsible buying these daily supplies, nut now he was accompanying someone to buy a cell phone?
A... young boy?
âYoung Master Li, there are indeed a few new models this month. Iâll show them to you two.â The manager answered politely, turned around, and asked the shop assistants to put all the new models here.
âBoss, I have a cell phone. I donât need to change it.â Feng Ling whispered when the manager turned to order the shop assistants.
As if not hearing her, Nanheng went in and sat on a single sofa by the window in the shop, picking up a stack of English newspapers and reading.
Feng Ling had to follow him in, stood by the sofa, then looked at the shop assistants and managers who were busy bringing a few new cell phones over, and then bent down to say, âI really donât need to change my phone.â
âDidnât your phone felt into the water after that mission? Now it occasionally canât receive signals and operates slowly, right? A cell phone that has been in use for more than two years should be replaced,â Nanheng said casually. Hed held the newspaper and said indifferently, âIâve kept a large part of your task bonus in the past two years. Even if I buy a cell phone for you, I will be using your own money. You donât have to appreciate me. â
Feng Ling. â...???â
Her task bonus?
No wonder she always felt that after each mission, she was only given several thousand or tens of thousands yuan, but when she chatted with other members in private, they told her they could earn 70,000 or 80,000 yuan from a random small task and sometime they could even earn 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.
