Chapter 1033: The Story of Ling and Heng (296)
Li Nanheng did not speak.
The head coach continued: “She never gave me any answers when I asked about her past; she only said that those weren’t good memories. At the time, I was more curious about how she came to be this skilled at her young age. She refused to tell us anything; she even told us to call her Ah Ling. To all of us here, Ah Ling is a mystery that is difficult to solve. However, because she’s truly capable and the boss treasures talents, she was kept until now despite her secretive character.”
“Whenever there’s a holiday, be it a Western holiday or the Chinese Spring Festival, I discovered that she’s always alone. She spends all her time by herself, and she never celebrates any holiday. She hasn’t even mentioned her own birthday once. She comes to work on time and leaves on time everyday, but she doesn’t make any attempt to communicate with people. Now that we’re slightly more familiar with each other, she speaks to me occassionally but only about work. She doesn’t ever mention anything that isn’t work.”
“If it wasn’t for Mr. Li’s appearance, I could never have fathom that this young lady belonged to the XI Base.”
“Now that I’ve learned about her past, I find things even more strange. Why did she leave XI Base? And towards you… who used to be her boss, why is her attitude so cold? Where did all of her defenses and concealed wounds come from? Was it you?”
Li Nanheng sat up. He stared forward in heavy silence and said lightly: “Are we done fighting? Can I leave now?”
The head coach turned to him and suddenly chuckled lightly. “She’s a mystery that none of us can solve. Or perhaps, you’re the only one who understands her. I wish you good luck.”
Li Nanheng did not answer as he left the place.
On the way back, he drove the car past its speed limit to return to Feng Ling’s place. As he stood before her door, he knew without guessing that the woman had locked the door from inside again.
Li Nanheng was about to head next door when he suddenly paused in his footsteps. The air seemed to contain remnants of a strange scent; although it was faint, its presence was extremely prominent.
The man’s gaze flitted onto the footprint on the ground and onto the ajar entrance leading to the stairwell.
10 minutes ago.
After showering, Feng Ling heard someone knocking on her door incessantly but was too lazy to respond. She glanced at the apartment next door and saw that the lights were still off. She guessed that Li Nanheng must have returned after his fight with the head coach. She wasn’t sure if he had won or lost. If he had won, he definitely came to show off. If he had lost, then he definitely came to vent his anger. Either way, he wouldn’t come with any good intentions. Thus, she could not be bothered to open the door for him.
However, she gradually got frustrated with the incessant knocking and suspected that Li Nanheng must have gotten drunk. She approached the door impatiently and swung the door open. “Li Nanheng, let me warn you…”
Before she could finish speaking, the three unfamiliar men standing outside her door caused her to instinctively raise her guards. Li Nanheng was the only one who knew of her apartment and would come visit at such a time. She had opened the door out of frustration and was completely caught unprepared. By the time she subconsciously tried to shut the door, the three men had already rushed forward. They held her shoulders down, and as she began to struggle, one of the men slammed her door shut and pressed a damp towel against her nose.
The instant the strange scent entered her nose, Feng Ling instinctively tried to hold her breath. However, she still breathed in a little of it and her vision immediately began to spin. The three man held her limbs down and pressed the towel firmly against her nose. No matter how much training Feng Ling had received, after around three minutes, she still had no choice but to take a deep breath in.
Her strength instantly dissipated. Earlier, she had already lost the strength to kick them. Right now, her entire body felt limp. When the men saw that she had lost all power to resist, they raised their hand and delivered a harsh blow against her neck. As the woman before them fell forward, they exchanged glances and picked her up. They then slammed the door loudly. To prevent the people in the elevator from seeing anything, they took the staircase and quickly brought the person away.
…
The nightscene was vibrant.
On a empty road in Boston.
A black sedan was speeding down the road. Inside the car, three men looked at the short-haired woman who was laying unmoving in the backseat with her limbs restrained.
“This is that Chen family’s brat’s girlfriend?”
“I’m not sure if she is his girlfriend, but he definitely likes her. I’ve observed him for a long time. That brat orders flowers for her everyday. He visits the martial arts club everyday just to get a glimpse of her. In anycase, if you want that Chen family’s brat and his father to hand the items over, there’s no use in looking for them. Why not take this woman away? Based on that brat’s feelings for her, there’s no way he will let this happen!”
“A year ago, wasn’t this the woman who obstructed us?”
“That’s right! It’s her! This woman’s skills are quite good. Otherwise, why would they send three of us over to deal with her?”
Under the night sky, the car continued speeding down the road.
At this moment, a black Hummer appeared. It followed behind their car tightly and gradually increased in speed. By the time the people in the car noticed that they were being chased, the black Hummer was already moving at a frightening speed. Although their car was moving quickly, it was impossible for them to compete against a Hummer. Despite their attempts to press fiercly against the accelerator, they were still overtaken.
The instant they were overtaken, the black Hummer decisively came to a horizontal stop on the road. Right before the two cars could collide, the three men cried out in fright and rushed to brake. However, it was too late. Their car directly slammed against the black Hummer.
The Hummer was extremely large. There was no way a small sedan like theirs would be able to move it. With a thunderous noise, their car endured a significant impact and the front of their sedan curved inwards. The Hummer car only suffered a small scratch against its door. In an instant, the air was filled with the scent of petrol and faint smoke.
During the frightening collision, the three men saw that there was no way for them to stop the car in time and all rushed to shrink their necks back. The inflated airbags made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
