It was late at night, and Feng Ling’s sleep time was regular. At ten o’clock, she lay down and prepared to sleep.
Suddenly, her cell phone sounded. She picked it up and took a look at the screen. It was a text message from Xiao Xu who asked her to go downstairs and said he had something to talk to her.
Feng Ling turned her eyes outside the window. The lights in the next room didn’t light up all night.
She picked up a coat, put it on, and went out the door. When she went downstairs, Xiao Xu was already waiting for her. He was still holding a burning cigarette in his hand. It seemed that he had been waiting for her here for quite a while.
“Brother Xu.” Feng Ling went over.
Xiao Xu threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stubbed it out at random, saying in a low voice, “What’s your plan about what you heard in the meeting room?”
Feng Ling. “No plan. I’ll just follow the arrangement of the base. If the base lets me go, I’ll go. If not, I won’t go.”
Xiao Xu smiled. “You are really big-hearted. Obviously the military is purposely giving us a hard time but you’re too simple-minded. Don’t you know the grudges between the US military and our base?”
“What grudges?”
“Our base has played a very important role when it was in the hands of the seniors of the Li family and almost threatened the majesty and status of the US military. It was also a force to be reckoned with within the United Nations. It’s getting stronger and stronger in Boss Li’s hands, and we’ve provided many talents to the military and the police over the years. You know how good we’re at training talents. Anyone from our base is a very excellent talent. We’re too excellent, so many people are jealous of us and the people from our base are being secretly crowded out by the military and police. And in recent years, XI Base has accomplished various missions. Many tasks that the military cannot accomplish are handed over to us, which has made our base more and more important. The purpose of the military is to make us lose our troops and weaken our combat power by pushing us to the frontlines, but XI Base has disappointed them with our performance over and over again. Although they claimed these tasks were arranged to us by the United Nations, in fact, they were assigned to us because of the dirty tricks they played in the dark. They have been trying so hard to find an opportunity to find out the weak spot of XI Base. They are very uneasy about the situation. Now seeing XI Base is growing increasingly powerful, they can’t wait to play more dirty tricks on us.”
Feng Ling listened silently and did not speak.
“Just as what was said in the conference room, this mission needs a woman who is agile, good at martial arts, but looks weak. But there is no such person in the base. I said that because I saw you wearing a women’s dress last time and I think no one will find out about your real gender if you are dressed as a woman, but I didn’t consider Boss’s thoughts. He didn’t intend to let you take this risk. After all, the military just wants to consume our manpower. It’s very dangerous for anyone to take this mission. Boss doesn’t want you to do it. ”
Feng Ling raised her eyebrows. “We’re all members of the base and we shall not reject any mission. It makes no difference who goes. Why doesn’t Boss just let me take this risk?”
Xiao Xu paused and suddenly asked in a low voice, “Are you stupid?”
Feng Ling looked at him in puzzlement.
Xiao Xu simply walked up to her and lowered his voice. “You don’t know Boss Li is interested in you? Have you ever seen him care about another member of the base so much? Boss really takes you seriously. To put it bluntly, Boss likes you…”
Feng Ling was stunned. “But I am a man.”
“So what? Now in this world, gender is no longer an obstacle. Although Boss has been very restrained, we, who often stay with him, can see that he definitely has different feelings for you, and this time he will not let you take the risk. Boss did not show up after leaving the conference room, but I heard that he is calling up the elite in the base. Perhaps he plans to perform this dangerous mission himself.” With that, Xiao Xu sighed. “The terrorists to be dealt with this time are all desperadoes. In my opinion, it is still the safest way to play a badger game with those terrorists. I can’t just wait and see Boss sacrifice himself because of the responsibility of the XI Base and the reputation of the seniors of the Li family, and more importantly, to protect you, so I came to talk with you.”
After Feng Ling heard Xiao Xu said that Boss Li liked her, her mind had gone blank. Hearing Boss Li was going to ‘sacrifice himself,’ she immediately asked with surprise, “Does Boss plan to disguise as a woman himself?”
The corner of Xiao Xu’s mouth twitched. “Do you think people will take a big man like Boss as a woman just because he is dressed as a woman? Do you think that every man is like you who looks like a real woman merely by wearing women’s clothing?”
Feng Ling: “…”
She paused and said, “Since XI Base does not have to completely obey the military’s arrangement, can’t we communicate with the superiors about this mission? Why do we have to take the risk? Then what do we need the military for? Do they just need to look on coldly? ”
Xiao Xu sighed. “How can Boss be suppressed by the military? But the base has its own mission. XI Base is the hard work and lifeblood of the Li family. Boss will never allow the reputation of XI Base to be easily tarnished by those people. He must do what he should do, even at the expense of his life. Which of our tasks is easy and safe? There is never the most dangerous task but the more dangerous one…”
Then Xiao Xu shook his head. “Actually, I said so much just to tell you that Boss will consider everyone except himself… In the current situation, Feng Ling, although Boss does not allow you to join in missions, I think this time you can play a vital role. Whether we can safely return depends on you.”
Seeing that Feng Ling didn’t speak anymore, Xiao Xu turned, suddenly walked into the door, and took out a bag under the stairs. “I was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so I didn’t hold it in my hand. Since I’ve said all I want to say, I want to give this to you. It’s up to you to decide whether to go or not and I’ll text you the location of the mission later. ”
With that, without giving Feng Ling any time to speak, Xiao Xu turned away.
It was late at night, and Feng Ling’s sleep time was regular. At ten o’clock, she lay down and prepared to sleep.
