Chapter 1068: The Story of Ling and Heng (331)
Looking at the light-off window of Li Nanheng’s room, Feng Ling stood downstairs for a long time. After making sure that the light wouldn’t come on again and that he was really asleep, she turned around with the files in her hand. However, she didn’t believe he went to bed so early, she looked back from time to time while walking, but the room didn’t light up again.
Could it be that he didn’t sleep well these days because of Mr. Li’s sickness? So he rested early when he went back to the base today.
It was so late that it was improper for her to knock on his door. Even if she got his signature now, she couldn’t leave the base at night but would have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Besides, the door of his room was not so easy to knock on. In the past, every time she entered his room, she would suffer a big loss before leaving.
Feng Ling returned to the guest room upstairs in the base hall.
Early the next morning, she got up very early and planned to wait downstairs from his room for him. When she got there, however, two members passing by saw her and asked with interest, “Feng Ling, are you here to find Boss?”
So did everyone know that Li Nanheng and she used to be in love now?
Feng Ling replied. “Yes, I need to see him for something.”
“Boss woke up early. I saw him go to the canteen half an hour ago. He didn’t seem to eat anything last night, so he must be hungry in the morning. Someone from the military will visit our base in the afternoon. Boss has been busy recently.”
“Got it, thank you.” Feng Ling nodded, then turned and walked towards the canteen.
It was only six o’clock in the morning, and he went down half an hour ago? Did he get up so early?
Feng Ling was a bit surprised but didn’t think much. She went to the canteen and looked around but didn’t see Li Nanheng.
“Have you seen Boss Li?” Feng Ling asked a member who had just finished eating.
“Boss Li? He just left after eating breakfast here.”
“Where did he go?”
“I have no idea. Unlike us who can only go to a fixed training ground every day, Boss can go to Team one and the sniper team, go to Team Four to see the newcomers, or have meetings with Ah Feng and other supervisors. I don’t know where he is now.”
Feng Ling froze once again with the files in her hand.
After a while, she picked up her cell phone expressionlessly and called Li Nanheng.
His cell phone was turned off.
Very good.
Was he really so busy or was he deliberately avoiding seeing her?
But in the past nine months, he had not come to her, so it couldn’t be the latter.
XI Base was so large and, as its boss, Li Nanheng was not someone that any member could easily see.
She could often see him before because he let her.
Feng Ling knew it.
But now she just wanted him to sign on the document.
Looking at the people in the canteen who were looking at her curiously, Feng Ling turned around and walked out a bit crossly.
When she went to Team One, he had just left, but when she went to another team, he had just gone too. Repeating this process, Feng Ling failed to find him.
She simply went to a path that everyone had to pass in the base and sat by the path. She swore that as long as Li Nanheng signed the document and allowed her to go to Hai City, she would leave XI Base immediately and never come to him again.
Never ever!
However, after Feng Ling sat here for two hours, Li Nanheng still didn’t pass by.
She called him again and his phone was still turned off.
Feng Ling sat there, squeezing the documents in her hand, and her patience was almost exhausted. She thought helplessly—-
She might as well go to his room.
He would have something to discuss with the people of the military in the afternoon. It was so hot and a person like him who was such a neat freak would probably go back to take a shower and change clothes after working the whole morning.
——
In fact, the news that Feng Ling returning to the base had long been spread throughout the base.
Even if Li Nanheng hadn’t been at the base two days ago, his subordinates would tell him about the news. So how could he not know that Feng Ling was waiting for him in the base?
Coming back from Team Four, Li Nanheng went to the base hall. Ah Feng was in a meeting with a few other people in the hall. Seeing Boss come, he stood up.
“Boss.” Xiao Xu happened to come in at this time, and when he saw Li Nanheng coming in, he asked, “Feng Ling has been looking for you. Have you seen her?”
Li Nanheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, asking lightly, “Looking for me?”
Seeing his seemingly unaware expression, Xiao Xu coughed. “It seems that she hasn’t seen you yet.”
Li Nanheng didn’t respond but was talking with Ah Feng. But when they stopped, Xiao Xu chimed in and told him that Feng Ling wanted to go to Hai City to act as a bodyguard of Mr. Mo’s wife, so she needed Boss to sign on the permission letter. Then he just stood there and observed Boss’s reaction with care.
“Boss, did Mr. Mo tell you about this matter? Have you already got the news?” Ah Feng asked.
Li Nanheng ignored his question. Since returning from Boston, Li Nanheng had never mentioned Feng Ling’s name, nor asked anything about her.
“If you really don’t want to see her, you can entrust me to sign that document. Then she can go wherever she wants,” Ah Feng said.
Li Nanheng immediately glanced at him coldly. “Are you so idle?”
“Huh? Can you deny you are deliberately avoiding her? She left in such a way last time and now has finally come back. How can you keep her waiting for you? You had been taking pains to look for her. Now that she has returned to the base, you should find a way to keep her! But now you refuse to see her, nor let her go. What the hell is your plan?” Ah Feng couldn’t hold back anymore.
Li Nanheng looked calm and emotionless. “It has nothing to do with me whether she returns to the base or not. I don’t care, OK?”
Xiao Xu couldn’t help but glance at him. “After she was forcibly taken away from Boston, Mr. Ted took her away so smoothly, and then she got the appointment letter back to the base so smoothly. Do these have nothing to do with you, Boss?”
