Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 931
Chapter 931: The Story of Ling and Heng (194)
“What can you take on? Pay back the commander’s life or bear the torture of the military? Or hand you over to the police and sentence you to ten or twenty years in prison?”
Feng Ling’s eyes were calm. “I can accept any punishment. After all, it’s wrong to kill the military commander. He is not a terrorist anyway.”
Li Nanheng sneered. “Then who will compensate you? Who will take on the dignity of XI Base? That fat man who was killed by you?”
Hearing this, Feng Ling blinked and looked up at him. “Boss, if I could have endured a few more minutes yesterday, we wouldn’t have been in such trouble. I’m really sorry.”
“You don’t have to feel sorry.” Li Nanheng threw the silver lighter and unlit cigarette onto the coffee table and coldly said: “If you hadn’t killed him, you and K would have been killed by him. If there must be a person to die, let the one who should die be him.”
With that said, he leaned casually on the back of the sofa and said, “Even if you didn’t kill him yesterday, after I watched the surveillance video, he wouldn’t have been able to see the sun today.”
“What should we do now?”
At first, she had planned to take all the responsibilities, but now she asked him what they should do.
It could be seen that although Feng Ling was very stubborn, she trusted him very much.
Li Nanheng looked at her. “Tell me first, what were you thinking when you lost your head yesterday?”
Feng Ling paused for a while. “I don’t know. I was just angry. I’ve never been so angry. Everything I did was instinctual.”
“Really? But how did I seem to see a wolf in your eyes yesterday?” Li Nanheng narrowed his eyes coldly. “Was that the real you?”
Feng Ling clenched her hands and lowered her head. After being silent for a while, she said hoarsely, “Boss, can I not answer this question?”
“No.” Li Nanheng crossed his legs and looked calmly at her.
Feng Ling didn’t want to expose her scars to others, especially her childhood experiences that no one would believe.
But now she brought serious trouble to the base. It was all because of Li Nanheng that she was able to leave the military area alive and stand here unharmed. No matter what he had done to her, he had never done her any harm, or to be exact, he always tried to protect her.
No matter what, she couldn’t keep her secret from him all the time.
Feng Ling said with difficulty, “I was brought up by wolves.”
Hearing this, Li Nanheng looked at her with a jerk. Her eyes were as calm as always and her face and lips were a bit pale because of the wounds on her forehead. He remained deadpan but stared at her as if trying to see past through her words.
“I remember I grew up drinking the wolf’s milk in the cave of the deep jungles. I learned to go around the cave to find everything to eat when I was around two, so I don’t fear the jungle at all. I’m even very familiar with everything in it,” Feng Ling said in a low voice. “I used to watch an old movie in the base called Tarzan the Ape Man, but I only watched it for twenty minutes because that movie reminded me of my childhood. If I hadn’t been taken away by the mafia who intruded the jungle by accident, I might have still been in the jungle unable to speak and living like a wolf.”
“Probably because I was breastfed by a she-wolf and grew up with wolves, I’m cold-blooded and inhumane, but after I joined the base, I tried my best to fit in, so my character had changed a lot. I didn’t expect that I would be stimulated to that point yesterday. I did lose my head at that time.”
Li Nanheng remained silent for a long time. Feng Ling knew everyone would doubt the authenticity of what she said. How could a child survive the wolf pack?
She suspected it too. Perhaps the she-wolf that had taken her back to the cave had just lost its little wolf cub, she happened to take it as her mother, or the she-wolf had the maternal instinct, so she survived in the cave and had been well protected by the she-wolf. Any other wolf that wanted to eat or bite her would be attacked by the she-wolf.
Although Feng Ling was a human, she remembered that the she-wolf feeding her seemed very fierce and other wolves dared not provoke her, so she could protect her well.
She had never imagined that she could go out of the jungle when she was a child. Living outside for so many years, she thought that she had fully experienced the dark side of the world. She wouldn’t even bat her eyelids when dealing with different terrorists.
But when the fat commander drugged her and pressed her under his body yesterday, she realized that the darkest thing in the world was a human’s heart.
Li Nanheng didn’t speak.
But it didn’t mean that he didn’t believe her.
Now he finally understood why she disguised as a man. If she was taken away by the Mafia since she was a child, perhaps the only way for her, an innocent girl who knew nothing about human beings, to protect herself was to disguise as a man.
That explained why she always kept a distance from him and was even untouched to his confession of love.
It was not because she didn’t like him, but because she didn’t understand love.
The silence lasted for a few minutes. Li Nanheng didn’t speak, nor did Feng Ling. She just looked at him and her eyes were frank and fearless. She didn’t regret killing the fat commander, but she was a bit guilty to XI Base and Li Nanheng because she didn’t want to implicate anyone.
However, after being silent for a long time, Li Nanheng suddenly chuckled and glanced at her. “So there has been a wolf cub at XI Base all these years. I didn’t even know it until today.”
Feng Ling didn’t speak but just looked at him.
Li Nanheng got up, walked up toward her, and looked down at her. Feng Ling remained motionless, letting his intense sight be on her while gazing calmly at a certain point on the coffee table, without any intention to avoid or resist.
