Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Chapter 787: The Story of Ling And Heng (50)

It was now afternoon. There was an hour’s time to their afternoon training session set at 1:00 p.m. Feng Ling remained in her room to tidy up and did not go for lunch.

K and Tam took the opportunity while Boss Li wasn’t around and came to knock on her door.

Feng Ling had kept her door tightly locked. After hearing their knocks, she abruptly asked, “Who is it?”

K and Tam exchanged glances without speaking. K then made several successive knocks rhythmically against her door.

A short moment later, Feng Ling immediately understood who it was. Previously, when K and her had been out on a mission, they had come up with this secret signal. The rhythm was something only K and her knew.

Feng Ling stood up and opened the door with a smile. “Why are you guys here?”

Tam lifted the takeaway lunch in his hand and indicated for her to eat it.

K smiled by the side. “We noticed that you didn’t come for lunch. I knew for sure that you were busy unpacking so we brought some back for you. Otherwise, god knows what torture we’ll receive during our afternoon training. It’s better if you fill your stomach now.”

Feng Ling was very moved, but she wasn’t good at expressing it. She gave Tam an appreciative nod and approached to receive the food. “Thank you Brother Tam. It completely slipped my mind to eat.”

The two of them walked in and scanned her room. K then chuckled. “Yo, I thought your room would be the same as Boss Li’s, but it seems just like ours.”

After hearing K’s words, Feng Ling finally believed in what Li Nanheng had said. The outline of the rooms in these buildings were really more or less the same.

“I heard that Boss Li merged two rooms into one and renovated it. It must be much bigger than a regular room.” Tam scanned the space as he spoke: “All right, Feng Ling you should eat first. Remember to be on time for the training in the afternoon. Boss isn’t as easy to talk to as Drillmaster Han. Furthermore, Boss has always liked picking on you. You need to be careful.”

Feng Ling nodded. “I understand.”

K: “Boss said we’ll begin our training this afternoon. The five of us will probably be trained as a group. I’ve never touched a rifle in my lifetime. I’m really excited to use one today.”

Feng Ling replied, “It’s unlikely that we’ll use a rifle today. At most, they’ll let us look at it and learn more about it. We’ll probably need some more stamina and precision training before we’re given the opportunity to use it.”

Tam: “Feng Ling is right. Although Boss rarely interfered with us when we were in Team One, he has always been strict and careful. If our abilities aren’t ideal, he definitely won’t go easy on us...”

——

Feng Ling began eating in her room when, moments later, Xiao Xu also came by to visit.

After all, the fact that Feng Ling managed to become Boss Li’s neighbour was a big piece of news to them.

The moment he entered, he saw that Feng Ling was already dressed in her new combat clothes meant for snipers and was about to head to training. Xiao Xu watched her with a smile. “Your speed sure is fast. Earlier, I heard from K that you didn’t eat anything for lunch and you should be having your meal now. I was worried that you would be late on your first day. If that happens, Boss Li will definitely look for ways to torture you. After all, our Boss’s temper has always been hard to manage. Ever since he last returned from the Li family, it’s as if he has been eating explosives all the time. You better watch out not to provoke him. Boss—”

Before he could finish, the door behind him opened. Li Nanheng expressionlessly entered and watched him with a mild glance.

Xiao Xu continued without blinking: “Boss is always friendly toward all of the members in the base. Although his attitude is harsh, he is serious about his work. He fulfills his role and responsibilities very well. In fact, privately, we are all very close to him. He is really a good boss that is hard to come by. If XI Base were to lose Boss Li, it would be like losing its soul and its main backbone...”

As he spoke, Xiao Xu turned back and stared at Li Nanheng in shock. “Aiya, Boss, when did you come in?”

His expression turned upset. “Is Feng Ling’s room door that quiet? I actually didn’t hear you entering...”

Li Nanheng was completely expressionless. He glanced at him coldly and turned to leave.

...

Although Li Nanheng was in charge of the sniper team, there were far too many things to handle in this base. The five of them were important members the base had chosen to nurture, so they arranged for the vice-drillmaster from Team Two to come over. He was now the vice-drillmaster for the sniper team.

This vice-drillmaster was not a jack of all trades like Han Jin was, but he had a lot of achievements when it came to his gun work and his long-range sniping. He was considered an outstanding individual for long-range combat, but tended to be on the losing end when it came to close-range combat. Han Jin, on the other hand, was capable in both close-range and long-range combat.

This vice-drillmaster from Team Two was also one of the most attractive drillmasters in the base. Apparently, he was around twenty-five to twenty-six years old, and had won the American Long-Range Sniper competition for three years in a row. His personality was good, and he was friendly to both the people above and beneath him. His name was Qiao Fei and he was a Chinese man with an American nationality. His family was also connected to the American police force, and was quite well-off. However, due to his own preference, he chose to enter XI Base.

Li Nanheng made a trip to the conference room in the base. When he returned, he made a visit to the long-range snipers’ training space. Drillmaster Qiao Fei was introducing Feng Ling to the correct way of holding the rifle, and as he stood behind her to correct her posture, he appeared to be half-embracing her.

Nanheng only took a simple glance at this before he expressionlessly approached. He stood by the side with a mild gaze and watched as this scene unfolded.

“The amount of force you have to apply for rifles is very different compared to typical handguns. If your grip isn’t firm, it’s easy to hurt yourself.” Qiao Fei was still speaking to Feng Ling. He adjusted her before saying: “Give it a try now.”

Feng Ling fired a shot. As this was her first time using a rifle, she was unused to the angle and weight, and was unable to hit right at the center. Her bullet landed slightly above the target.

Qiao Fei chuckled. “This is normal. Don’t be upset. To be able to hit the first ring next to the target is already considered an outstanding accomplishment for a newbie like you.”

He taught her for a few more moments before instructing the other four members. He was very serious and responsible, and after interacting with all of them, he confirmed that their postures have improved before backing away. He then glanced at Feng Ling and approached her.

“Feng Ling, before you rest up tonight, make a visit to Team One and bring your files to me. I wasn’t in Team One previously and am not too familiar with your height and stamina. Your figure is much smaller than the rest. I probably have to adjust my teaching to your circumstances.” Qiao Fei then brought out his phone. “Oh yes, give me your phone number.”
