Chapter 738: The Story of Ling and Heng (1)
“Go away!”
Feng Ling suddenly kicked away the two doctors around her sickbed, but when she tried to get up, she fell back to the bed because of the tranquilizer injected into her body.
Seeing her so stubborn, a doctor said to the other, “This kid doesn’t accept treatment despite her injuries. How can a kid with such a temper like her survive in the orphanage? You took her in out of kindness, but I don’t think she appreciates you at all.”
The director of an international orphanage in Los Angeles didn’t speak. After a while, she looked at the kid on the bed who was only seventeen years old and mused.
This kid was a member of an underground gang eliminated by American police half a month ago. She was still a kid and also an orphan.
According to the gangsters, this kid was named Feng Ling who was discovered by their leader in a wolf cave in the mountains. When he was discovered, he couldn’t even speak but only howled like a wolf. He was raised by wolves since he was born and then taken away by their leader when he was five. He was trained into a weapon. He was a kid, so their enemies wouldn’t guard against him. He was as quick, decisive, and ruthless as a wolf, so he was much trusted by their leader although he was so young.
It was just because he was still a kid that after knowing how he was brought up, the police thought he became a gangster just because of the environment he grew up and he was not bad in nature, so they didn’t list him as a criminal but sent him into an orphanage.
When Feng Ling was sent here, his body was covered with injuries. However, if the doctor didn’t give him a tranquilizer, he might have dismantled the room.
——
One year later.
Feng Ling felt something was wrong and suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a little girl in a pink dress standing beside his bed with a curious look on her face, holding a flower in her hand, and staring at him with a blushed face.
In a trance, Feng Ling moved his hand and felt that the doctor didn’t inject her much tranquilizer this morning.
After a year of drug control, she didn’t have any extra energy every day, except to get up to eat and walk. That was the idea of the director of the orphanage. She allowed her to stay here but deprived her of any energy to cause trouble. She was left alone in a dark, depressing room where she could only see the stars through the small lattice windows.
“Brother Feng Ling, why do you sleep alone in your little room every day?” The little girl beside her bed grew up in the orphanage and was only sixteen or seventeen, but she seemed to be awakened interest in the opposite sex. When she looked at Feng Ling, her watery eyes were full of expectation.
Feng Ling ignored her and got off the bed.
Feng ling had always lived alone in the room and was used to the darkness. She looked into the mirror.
The boy in the mirror was tall and slender. Although he was only 18 years old, he looked much taller than many of his peers. His face was fair and cool and his eyes were even brighter than the stars outside the window.
His disheveled, inky short hair made him look a bit decadent, and he shook his head casually, making it instantly look supple.
The little girl was almost fascinated by him.
Feng Ling was the best-looking boy in the orphanage but didn’t like to meet other people or make friends.
Whether he was having a meal or being called to a group class by a teacher of the orphanage, he would sit in a corner, cold, quiet, and unapproachable. The boys all hated him because almost all the girls liked to sneak glances at him. Even though he was bad-tempered, the girls always looked for a chance to get close to him, though they got a cold disregard every time.
Although this handsome boy was really very cold-tempered, there seemed to be deep whirlpools or stars in the dark night sky in his eyes that were sparkling and attractive. As a boy, he was exceptionally handsome but not so disagreeable as the other boys. Instead, he always kept to himself.
The black earring on the boy’s ear seemed to glisten with sharp, dark light, and looked very mysterious.
As Feng Ling closed his eyes, the exceptionally handsome boy in the mirror also closed his eyes.
“Brother Feng Ling, would you like to have dinner with me? I heard the cook made hamburgers today...”
His ears were full of the little girl’s shy and noisy voice. Feng Ling impatiently frowned. “Shut up. Go away.”
The little girl was a bit afraid but thinking of his temper, she still took the courage to come over and nervously handed him the little flower in her hand. “Brother Feng Ling, I just want to be your friend, I...”
Feng Ling suddenly opened his eyes that were as cold and sharp as a dagger lurking in the shadows for long in this dark, narrow room and made people shudder. He took a cold look at her and the little girl was so frightened by his eyes that she immediately threw down the flowers and ran out.
The room returned to silence and the boy in front of the mirror remained deadpan.
She didn’t know she wasn’t a wolf but a human until she was taken out of the wolf cave when she was five, and then she gradually figured out that she was actually a girl.
But living with those gangsters, she had to disguise as a boy to get more freedom. She must receive training and work as a boy to get her food, or else, she would be taken as waste and killed.
She had to forget she was a girl if she wanted to survive. And as time went by, she had almost forgotten whether she was a boy or a girl.
When she was still controlled by those gangsters, she once went into the FBI headquarters building alone to install a monitor.
The US police used several police cars to capture her but she managed to escape. Several strong policemen put together were no match for her.
But she never expected that she would be controlled here with one tranquilizer a day by the so-called ‘angels in white.’
——
The door of the orphanage that was rarely opened was opened and three or four military Hummers parked outside the door.
The door of a car was opened.
“Boss.” A member of XI base who was going to finish serving his time, and looked respectfully and solemnly at the man getting out of the car. “Here we are.”
“OK.” Nanheng nodded indifferently and entered the door.
Seeing the legendary Li Nanheng finally show up, the director of the orphanage came up to greet him. “Mr. Li, the one who came to pick the boys the last time is still your father. This is the first time I met you. Nice to meet you.”
The man walked straight in and said coldly without looking at the director, “Nice to meet you, Director Lin. Every four years, XI base will choose new members from orphanages around the country. It’s a U.S. military rule. You just follow the rules, and so do I.”
