Chapter 739: The Story of Ling and Heng (2)
“Yes, yes, but Mr. Li, you’re the director of the orphanage. The children in our orphanage will depend on you to take care of them in the future. They are all orphans. They are naughty but if they can become useful to the society in the future through the training in XI Base, it will also be a great achievement.”
Nanheng ignored the director’s ingratiating word.
The quadrennial talents selection of XI Base was just a routine and only a tenth or even less of the kids in the orphanages could be chosen. After all, not everyone had this ability to pass the tests and checkpoints set by XI Base. If a person wanted to become a member of XI Base, he must be fully qualified mentally and physically.
The legendary heir to the Li family, Li Nanheng walked in. As soon as he appeared in front of the people of the orphanage, the woman teachers who had been giving the children group lessons in the orphanage for years were almost fascinated by him.
He had well-shaped brows, deep eyes, high and straight bridge of the nose, and cold, thin lips... Was this man painted?
As early as an hour ago, almost everyone at the orphanage including both the director and the cleaners gathered in front of the door, waiting for the legendary eldest son of the Li family’s, Li Nanheng to appear.
The Li family was very powerful in both China and the US. Although on the surface, it was a business family, it operated the largest training base in the world in the shadows, training talents for the two countries’ armed forces.
The Li family also had a position in the UN.
Although they were low-profile, they actually controlled more than half of America’s military forces, and police officers from around the country including the Los Angeles police force was at their beck and call.
If the Li family simply stamped their feet in the United States, and even the coastline 10,000 meters away would be shaken.
Li Nanheng grew up in XI Base. As the eldest son of the Li family and director of XI Base, he was very mysterious. Now he suddenly showed up here and the people in the orphanage were all jittery.
It was said that he had a really bad temper.
——
A few well-dressed boys today surrounded the tall, lanky boy in the orphanage dining hall.
Feng Ling narrowed her eyes and the temperature around suddenly became freezing cold.
With a clatter, one of the boys grabbed her meal and threw it on the floor, spilling soup and food all over the floor.
Someone kicked off the chair behind Feng Ling and stared at her threateningly. “You brat, you’ve only been in the orphanage for a year. Who do you think you are? How dare you play dumb when we talk to you? I don’t want to spend another second in the orphanage with you. After we’re selected into XI Base, you’ll have to rot in this fucking place. After all, Director Lin just takes you as a deaf-mute and your name is not even in the candidates’ list. Tut, you piece of junk.”
XI Base?
Feng Ling kept a straight face.
When she was working for the gangsters, she did hear of XI Base, which was said to be a military training base and had a deep connection to the American police. It was very powerful and mysterious and many gangsters were very afraid of it.
However, it had nothing to do with her. What she disliked were stupid and arrogant people.
“Get away if you don’t want to stay with me. Why do you come to bark at me? Or you want to be selected into that base with a face black and blue?” Feng Ling said indifferently and her voice was as careless as her expression. “I give you three seconds to get the hell out of my sight.”
“You brat, how dare you talk to me like this?! Tut, where are you really from? Your name is Feng Ling. I heard there is a famous Chinese family in the US whose family name is Feng, but you’ll never be able to get into that family in your lifetime. Who on earth gave you the courage to name yourself like this?”
When Feng Ling was taken out of the wolf cave when she was five, around her neck hung a jade plaque with a character ‘Feng’ engraved on it. One of those gangsters was Chinese who thus named her Feng Ling.
Feng Ling didn’t want to waste time on these boys and was about to turn around when one of them reached out to catch her.
She blinked. It happened that this morning when the doctor gave her the tranquilizer, he was sleepy and pulled out the needle in the middle of the course. Besides, she had developed resistance to the tranquilizer because she was injected with this tranquilizer for a long time, so she was not weak now, as she usually was. She put one hand on her shoulder and easily turned her wrist. The cracking wrist dislocating sound was followed by a scream.
“Are your wrist dislocated?” Feng Ling looked back lazily and carelessly glanced at the boy who held his wrist and twitched all over in pain and then at the others.
“You brat! How dare you!” The boy whose wrist dislocated roared loudly in anger and his face contorted in pain. He yelled, “Press him on the ground! Take off his clothes! Throw him to the yard to show him to the girls. I want to see how this motherfucker is capable of!”
Feng Ling didn’t even bat her eyelid at his words. These boys didn’t expect him to be so good at martial arts. After all, all this year she had been alone. No one knew what kind of a person she really was except that she was cold-tempered.
However, when they pounced at her, Feng Ling just casually raised her hand and her movement looked natural, unrestrained yet aggressive. An empty bowl on a nearby table suddenly snapped through the crowd with a thud and hit the boy hard on the forehead.
“Ouch!” The man raised his dislocated hand, covered his bloody forehead in pain, and fell to the ground.
Not expecting Feng Ling to be so strong, the boys, who were about her age, froze for an instant, not knowing whether to strike her or not.
At that moment, she kicked one of them in the lower part of the body who immediately let out a scream. When they realized what had happened, Feng Ling had already left their encirclement, picked up the tray on the floor with a deadpan face, and turned to get a new portion of food.
“Shit, this brat!”
“Let him go. We’ll see how he’ll end up miserably!”
As if not hearing them, Feng Ling got a new tray and a portion of food. Without looking back, she walked to a clean table not far away and sat down.
In the noises, the boy whose head was hit snorted. “We’ll see how long he can get on his high horse. I heard that Boss Li of XI Base has come today. If we become members of XI Base, a random man of the base will be able to kill him!”
