Feng Ling subconsciously raised his head suddenly. Without even a moment of shock or preparation, he saw the man's hand reaching in from the open bathroom door.
The girl stood naked under the water. Her whole body froze instantly, and she didn't dare to move. She even found out in despair that there was no place to hide here.
Just when Feng Ling was almost ready to be exposed, the man just put a few toiletries he bought today on the marble table in the bathroom door. No one came in. He only said outside: "If you like the new ones you buy, use them directly. The original ones should be put away or thrown away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man retracted his hand and closed the door. Within a minute, he was gone.
From the beginning to the end, the man only came in with an arm, no person came in, and no head came in...
That is to say…
Not discovered
Feng Ling was still under the water, looking at the new bottles of toiletries. After being stunned for a long time, he slowly recovered, and then turned to look at the bathroom door that was closed again.
…
When Feng Ling woke up the next morning, she felt the man's arm around her waist before she even opened her eyes.
This was not the first time she woke up in his arms like this. The shock this time was not as obvious as before, but she still froze slightly. But just for a slight moment, the man's hand around her waist retracted. Tighter, as if to comfort or coax her to sleep, his hand patted her back gently.
Feng Ling didn't move and only looked at the sky outside the window with the corner of his eye. It was probably nine o'clock now.
If she doesn't return to the base, she will probably be completely disrupted by such a busy life every day. It will probably take a while for her to adjust to getting up early and on time when she returns to the base.
After being held in the man's arms and "sleeping" for a while, Feng Ling really couldn't sleep, so she simply pushed his hand away and stood up.
Li Nanheng opened his eyes: "The punishment measures discussed by the Li family and the army have been announced. Do you want to listen?"
As soon as Feng Ling's feet touched the ground, he immediately stopped and looked back at him: "What kind of punishment?"
Li Nanheng glanced at her, sat up on the bed, raised his hand and casually pulled the short hair on his head. Judging from the slight mess of the hair on the pillow, he knew that he slept well with her last night.
“There is a world-famous Snake Valley in Cambodia. All kinds of ferocious and uncommon pythons and various venomous snakes live there all year round. Cambodian locals and snake trainers do not dare to approach easily. However, there was a snake there decades ago. A minefield has been laid. You should also know how the United States treats these small and medium-sized countries. They plan to build a US military base and reserve base nearby, but someone needs to go to Snake Valley first. The nearby mines have been cleared."
"Is this my mission to receive punishment?" Feng Ling stood beside the bed and looked at him without even frowning.
Li Nanheng sat on the bed and looked at her calmly: "Whether it's mine clearance or any snake that may jump out randomly everywhere, as long as you are not careful at all, you will either be buried in the Snake Valley, or be blown up above the minefield with no bones." Yes, this is the biggest concession made by the military, and people from the United Nations have also agreed to this decision, but everyone knows that this is tantamount to asking you to die in another way."
Feng Ling looked very calm: "Then I will be more careful. If I can come back alive, I will come back alive. If I can't come back alive, at least I will live for so many more days, which is not a loss."
Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows because of her fearless expression: "Can't you beg me?"
"I can't beg." Feng Ling said calmly: "I know if I beg you now, you will definitely find a way to prevent me from going to that place, but now since the leaders of the military and the United Nations have agreed to this Decided, then there is no need for you, boss, to intervene in this matter. The attitude of the old men Li that day was very clear. They did not want you to be stained with fishy things in this matter, and I had the same idea as them. , Boss, you have done enough for me. It is an indisputable fact that I killed the military commander. This is like a murderer who has already been in prison, but you always find ways to let me avoid punishment. Same, in fact, this result is also very good, as long as I am more careful and can come back alive, the whole thing will be completely over."
Li Nanheng narrowed his eyes because of her words: "Are you covered in fish? Feng Ling, what I should have expressed from the beginning to now is that I am very happy."
"Does your willingness mean that I am willing? Boss, thank you for these days. I have taken over the task of demining Cambodia." Feng Ling said calmly: "When do they want me to leave? I will go back to the base immediately to pack and prepare."
Seeing her stubborn temper, Li Nanheng's eyes suddenly became colder: "Are you sure you want to go?"
"I am sure."
"The chances of coming back alive are slim."
"It doesn't matter. I have lived in the jungle since I was a child. All snakes, insects, birds, and land animals know very well that others only have a 20% chance of surviving, so I must be 20% more likely than them."
Li Nanheng looked at her firm eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "The base is allowed to send one more person to accompany you, but only one person. Who do you want to call with you?"
"No need, I'll go by myself. It's my own task to collect the punishment. There's no need to drag anyone down."
Seeing her look like she was responsible for life and death alone, Li Nanheng said nothing and just looked at her.
Feng Ling also looked at him, with no fear in his eyes, as calm as if what he was about to face was not the world-famous and terrifying Snake Valley, but just an ordinary shooting range.
She knew that as long as she said one more word to Li Nanheng now, even if it wasn't a request, even if it was just a sentence saying that she didn't want to go, he would definitely find a way to keep her, let her continue to return to the base, and let her stay at the base safely. She continued to spend her days there.
But she can't do this.
Thousands of pairs of eyes in the base are watching, including the military, the United Nations, and several old men from the Li family.
Boss Li has done too much for her. If she continues to let him help her now, he will be completely dragged into it by her in the end. Not only will his reputation be affected by the rumors, but the Li family will also definitely do harm to him. pressure.
The relationship between him and the elders of the Li family has always been at a balance point. If she is oppressed or negotiated with various conditions because of her affairs, then she will really be in big trouble.
The person she killed was punished herself. She didn't think there was anything wrong. No one was wrong.
