Chapter 786 - The Story of Ling and Heng (1/2)

At the moment, the ‘mysterious’ cleaner came from next door. He directly pushed open her door and stood by her doorside to watch her dazed appearance.

The man stood outside the door and spoke indifferently: “I’ll give you a few hours to unpack your things. Head to training in the afternoon.”

Feng Ling turned back: “We’re starting the long-range sniper training today?”

“Otherwise, did you think I made you guys move here for a vacation?”

“…I understand. I’ll be there on time.”

Even though he was the boss of this base, did his words have to be so sharp?

Everytime she felt that he had left some good impression, he would instantly ruin it.

Li Nanheng: “I’ll give you two weeks to adjust to it. You’ll attend every single training from now onwards. When there’s any mission, you’ll also follow me along. Everyone in the team has their own positions and responsibilities. No one will stay to help you through your entire training. Keep your eyes open and take charge of your own learning. If you can keep up, then continue. Otherwise, resign from the team on your own.”

After speaking, he turned to leave.

“Boss,” Feng Ling called him.

Nanheng paused in his footsteps and glanced back at her. “What is it?”

“…Boss, does K and the rest have the same type of room as I do? If it’s different, you can let them move upstairs and give me a room downstairs. A small room is good enough for me.”

Nanheng watched her for a moment without speaking.

Feng Ling knew that her words were out of line, but after yesterday’s close call, she felt that there was the need to stay as far away from him as possible. She did wish to participate in the training, but that didn’t mean she wanted to grow close to Boss Li in such a manner.

Furthermore, she was seriously concerned that, at some point, he would fully recall everything that happened on that drunken night…

It was likely that, the more they interacted, the clearer things would become. It was better to maintain some distance.

Feng Ling took in a deep breath and approached him. She raised her head to look at the man who was much bigger than her. “I know that for the final test during our assessment, I passed with the poorest score. I’m unable to provide a good reason for this, but if my room is different from the rest, it won’t be good when the other members learn about it. After all, I entered the team with the weakest performance, yet I received the best treatment. This is really…”

“All of the rooms in the building are more or less the same; they’re not too small. Otherwise, why do you think there are only four rooms downstairs? Every room takes up a lot of space.” Nanheng tucked one hand into his pocket and lifted one corner of his lip. “Set your mind at ease and stay here. Don’t think too much. Nobody is interested in giving you special treatment. Since you know that your score wasn’t that remarkable, consider it your good luck that you’re even able to stay here.”

Feng Ling saw that he did not intend onf changing her room and felt that it wasn’t right to insist on it. She could only choose to keep quiet. She nodded respectfully to him. “I understand, Boss.”

In the next second, she saw that Boss Li was smiling as he spoke coldly, “Remember to keep your volume down when you’re here.”

Feng Ling: “…” She rarely ever smiled; right now, she completely could not be bothered to smile at him.

Finally, when Nanheng left, Feng Ling closed the door and scanned her room. She touched the bedsheets on the single bed; it was brand new but the colour was bland. It was identical to the ones she had previously used in Team One. She had seen K’s and Fattie’s beds and knew that this was what every base member used.
