Chapter 767: The Story of Ling and Heng (30)
At night.
The villa of the Li family.
“You’ve decided? You still don’t want to stay at the company? I’ve sent someone to take care of XI Base. Now you don’t have to go back and manage the base in person. It’s more suitable for you to stay in the company taking charge of decision making. Although XI Base is very important to our family, it’s a dangerous job and you’re the only offspring of the entire Li family.” Grandfather Li looked back at Li Nanheng who was about to leave.
Li Nanheng casually put a hand on the back of the sofa with a faint smile. “Oh, so you do know that I am the only offspring of the Li family? Then why did you throw me into XI Base to receive training when I was less than five years old? Now I’m finally eligible for taking over the base and you suddenly remembered that I’m the only offspring of the Li family, are afraid that I might die, and are about to throw me into the Li Family’s company to enjoy life? Grandpa, you are too whimsical. Am I a tool to you? If you wanted me to take over the company, you shouldn’t have put me into XI Base. After I settled in the base, now you suddenly want me to leave it. Do you think it is possible?”
Grandfather Li’s face turned cold. “If your parents hadn’t perished early, of course, I would have them give birth to another child, but now since you are the only child, I have to consider the Li family’s future! Now that XI Base is getting more and more prosperous, one day it may be targeted by the government because it’s too powerful. Although we are now in the United States, there have been too many such examples in China and the West since ancient times. No one shall be more powerful than the rulers. I don’t want you to be in danger! ”
Li Nanheng smiled coldly. “Danger? Isn’t the business circle dangerous too? There is no difference from XI Base, except that the hostility between people is more hidden. In the former, people kill with guns, whereas in the latter, people kill without shedding blood. There is no such thing as a pure land in the world.”
“As I’ve said, you are still healthy, not to mention that I still have two cousins. Who said that women can’t take over the company? My cousins have both got a master’s degree in business school, but the Li family only allows them to take the positions of subsidiary company managers, which is a waste of their talents,” Nanheng said indifferently. “In my opinion, it is better to let me go back to the base and hand over the company to my two cousins temporarily. If they cannot make the company better in three years, we will consider other ways.”
Seeing Grandfather Li seemed to be very repulsive of his suggestion, Li Nanheng sneered, stopping him from retorting him. “You have only one choice. I will never take over the company. You can either give it to an outsider—after all, there are many vice presidents and newcomers in the company who have outstanding abilities—or give it to my cousin sisters. Anyway, they are members of the Li family, aren’t they?”
With that, Nanheng looked at the time, got up, and walked away without a word. When he came to the door, he said without looking back, “I was thrown at XI Base when I was still a kid. My entertainment from childhood is playing with those mud pistol ad bullets. How can I be possibly interested in business? A person cannot be divided into two halves. Aren’t you too whimsical trying to break and remold the person you have created with your own hands?”
“You…” Grandfather Li instantly turned purple and looked at him.
Without another word, Nanheng looked at Grandfather Li and left.

As soon as Nanheng returned to the base, he saw that Han Jin was training members on the training ground. The group of newbies who were admitted into the base for nearly three years had now been well-trained. Compared to how they were when they just entered the base, they had made great progress indeed. They looked so strong and tough, wearing the same black uniform and standing in rows. What a group of young men of courage and power!
This place was completely different from Li Corporation.
However, Nanheng felt relieved as soon as he stepped into this place.
The large black Hummer stopped at the parking space outside the training ground. Nanheng didn’t notify anyone but just watched the members training in a distance.
Han Jin had seen Nanheng return to the base and he knew yesterday that Boss would return today. Seeing that Boss had no intention to come over, he didn’t stop the training and continued to order Team One members train.
Nanheng leaned leisurely back against the iron fence outside the training playground with a cigarette in his mouth and didn’t look like the boss of XI Base at all.
Han Jin looking at him from a distance, however, felt relieved.
Looking at the state of Boss Li, he should have resolved the Li family’s affairs.
He and several other drillmasters of the base had been worried that Boss Li would be detained by the grandfathers of the Li family from now on and wouldn’t be allowed to return to the base, but now it seemed that this wouldn’t happen.

The other side.
This time, Feng Ling went out on a mission alone, because it was not a big task and she alone could solve it.
It was a drug trafficking gang in Los Angeles. The boss of this gang liked Tibetan mastiffs imported from China and had bought more than a dozen from China. These ferocious Tibetan mastiffs cost more than 200,000 US dollars. It wasn’t a large sum of money, but they would trade them in an abandoned warehouse somewhere outside Los Angeles.
Feng Ling disguised herself as the feeder and driver of the Tibetan mastiff, knocked out the real driver in the car, and drove to the abandoned warehouse.
After driving the car to that warehouse, Feng Ling took the key from the car and went down to open the huge metal box behind. When it opened, a stinky smell came from inside. Those Tibetan mastiffs were transported on the road for days and there was a mixture of the smells of food, poop, and urines of these Tibetan Mastiff dogs.
Feng Ling was not affected at all, and there was a very strong metal fence in the metal box, but since she was not the true breeder of these Tibetan mastiffs, those tall and ferocious dogs turned around and barked at her.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the gangsters, she must successfully lure these Tibetan mastiffs into the abandoned warehouse.
If they were kept in the car, they would keep barking at her, which would definitely cause suspicion.
She suddenly took out some medicine from the interlayer of the pocket. This was a medicine specially made by the research institute inside XI Base for the tasks related to animals, which could make some uncooperative animals temporarily lose their attack power.
In the distance, the black Hummer had been there for long. Nanheng glanced at Feng Ling’s attire, got out of the car and walked over. When Feng Ling heard the sound of footsteps and suddenly turned back, he saw that Feng Ling wore special makeups to conceal her real face.
Nanheng said indifferently. “This is the solution you came up with to solve those gangsters? Disguised as an ugly feeder?”
