The man gripped the empty wine bottle firmly, almost breaking it up.
His phone rang at this time. Li Nanheng picked it up
“Boss, didn’t you find Feng Ling on the way you returned to the base? We were finally allowed to go out after talking to you on the phone, but we can’t find her. In her condition today, she can’t walk far. There are at least 20 kilometers from the base to the place where she could get a taxi. She has a high fever and it’s snowing heavily. It is impossible for her to walk there…”
Li Nanheng walked into the room with the wine bottle, looked at the mess on the ground, and said coldly, “Keep searching and contact the Los Angeles Department of Transportation to give us the surveillance video on the roads from the base to downtown.”
“Okay.” K was relieved to hear this and hurried to contact the related personnel after hanging up the phone.
Li Nanheng put down the phone and walked into the bathroom, only to see that the toiletries inside had been smashed.
Everything in her room was either thrown away, stained, or smashed.
The little Feng Ling, who had been carefully held in his palms, was suddenly pushed into hell within a day.
But he failed to come back to rescue her.
——
When it was night, Li Nanheng walked out of the room and then he saw Li Junyan, his grandfather, who had been standing in the corridor waiting for him with a cane.
Looking at the stubbles around Li Nanheng’s chin and his gaunt look, Li Junyan was enraged. He walked over deadpan and suddenly hit his back hard with his cane. “Didn’t I tell you to stay in the ancestral hall? Who allowed you to come out? Are you out of your mind?! How can you ignore my words just for a woman?!”
Li Nanheng didn’t seem to feel any pain. His face remained unchanged and he didn’t even frown but just glanced at him coldly. “If it weren’t for what you have done in the base, I will certainly stay in the ancestral hall for three days. I always keep my words, including marrying Miss Feng. Even if I was reluctant, I still married her. If it weren’t for the changes in the base, I would have still been in the ancestral hall.”
“Cut the crap! You knew that Feng Ling is a woman, but kept it from anyone. You fell in love with a member of the base, which breaks the rule of the base. You knew I would never allow you to hook with a woman like Feng Ling, but you still hid her in the base and even had an affair with her! I just drove that woman out of the base, but you threw your wife in the ancestral hall alone and came all the way to find Feng Ling?! Do you think I’ll give you a chance to see her again? Let me tell you, Nanheng, you’ll never be able to see her again in your life! I’ll never ever allow her to enter the door of the Li family, even after three years! You’d better give up as soon as possible!”
“Also, let me tell you that A Feng will take over XI Base soon. You should go back to take over the Li’s Corporation. No matter how smart Jinse and Li Lin are, they are no match for you. If you can focus on running our family business, then the Li family…”
“I won’t go back. Drop this idea,” Li Nanheng said coldly and left.
Grandfather Li’s face instantly turned green in anger and he stared at Li Nanheng’s receding figure in anger.
Although Li Nanheng didn’t quite listen to them, he would never refuse them in such a cold tone.
Feng Ling was just a tomboy who didn’t have any femininity. Why was he so concerned about her?
Grandfather Li hit the ground hard with his cane. “Nanheng, stop!”
However, the man who had gone far had no intention of stopping.
“Li Nanheng, are you going to sever ties with the Li family because of that tomboy named Feng Ling!”
Li Nanheng slowed down a bit and then stopped, but within two seconds, without any words, he walked out directly.
Grandfather Li was so angry that his hand that was clenching his cane was shaking.
How dare he!
——
Now it was just dawn, K and the other members had already rushed back from outside. Seeing Boss Li driving out, they hurriedly stopped the car, rolled down the window and said, “Boss, only one road is monitored. We searched all night but failed to find Feng Ling.”
“Have you checked the other paths?”
“It’s very dark. We roughly searched them but didn’t find her.” K frowned.
Li Nanheng did not speak anymore, and slammed on the accelerator to drive the black Hummer out of the base.
When he got outside the base, he kept calling Feng Ling and drove the car to all the possible roads she might have passed.
The car drove to a community on the left that could lead to the urban area. No trace of Feng Ling was seen. He had called her countless times but her phone was always off.
Apart from going to the urban area to find a place to settle temporarily, where else could she go?
There was not even a jungle nearby. She had been living outside for so many years. Even if she grew up in the jungle, it was impossible for her to go back to the jungle again. She could no longer adapt to that kind of life.
Li Nanheng turned the car around and drove towards downtown with a cold look——
…
The Li family.
Qin Qiu and her mother got out of the car in front of the Li family’s house and Feng Mingzhu followed them out of the car, complaining, “Since Li Nanheng has married my sister, what are you still worried about? This is only their third day of marriage. It’s just some babies’ clothes. At most, they are placed in the Li family’s ancestral hall. Why are you so worried?”
Qin Qiu didn’t speak but just glanced at her mother.
Her mother did not speak either. A few days ago, she found that the jade ring she had brought with her all the year round was missing, which made her very distressed. Although Li Nanheng had married her second granddaughter, she still felt uneasy and wanted to come and have a look.
Li Jinse happened to come out at this moment, and when she saw them, she politely stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Feng, Madam, Miss Feng? Are you… here to visit my grandfathers?”
“Is Nanheng here?” Qin Qiu asked.
“He should have gone to the base.”
Mrs. Qin frowned. “Go to the base? But he just got married! I was told he would stay in the ancestral hall for a few days!”
Feng Mingzhu sneered. “He probably discovered that the member called Feng Ling in their base is actually a woman. What that woman did has caused a sensation in the base, so he had to go back and solve it.”
Li Jinse didn’t quite understand the situation, so she was just a bit surprised when she heard this.
Bur Mrs. Qin and Qin Qiu both shivered in an instant.
The two suddenly turned their eyes to Feng Mingzhu.
Feng Ling was a woman?
