Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Chapter 784: The Story of Ling and Heng (47)

It wasn’t uncommon for XI Base to work with the police force to target the underworld and assist with their law enforcement. They also had their own professional rescue team which was responsible for providing the police force with support. Whenever there was a crisis that necessitated their aid, they would immediately move out to arrive at the mission location at the same time as the police force.

Xiao Xu faced the members of the rescue team who were standing uniformly before him: “There are two fishing boats trapped in Sea Area Number 10, in the southeast direction. There are a total of six people on the boats. We have received the police force’s and rescue team’s order. Every member of XI Base’s rescue team is deployed to rescue the trapped individuals. Two helicopters will be sent to the location immediately.”

“Understood!” a uniform answer resounded through the area.

Following which, all of the rescue team members rapidly boarded the assigned helicopters.

XI Base was the closest rescue team available from Sea Area Number 10. Otherwise, small incidences like this involving trapped fishing boats would rarely require their help. When it came to both resource and ability, XI Base’s rescue team was one of the best in America. If it wasn’t related to life and death, and because this incident was already noticed by higher ups, they would never have requested for their help for such a small matter.

The heavy downpour was still going on, but the helicopter was unaffected. It directly ascended; the black helicopter had the letters XI painted on it.

——

At seven in the evening, XI Base’s helicopter safely returned from Sea Area Number 10. All of the members who were deployed were soaked but thankfully the rain had already stopped. Furthermore, the heavy downpour did not affect their helicopter and they were able to successfully rescue all of the trapped individuals. After handing them over to the police force, they completed some handover matters and finally returned from the base.

After their return, the atmosphere in the base completely changed. Most people were tugging on their clothes while walking. The soaked combat clothes made it especially difficult to walk, and the sensation of the fabric clinging against the skin was uncomfortable. As it had rained multiple times today, the wind also carried the scent of humidity. All of them rushed to return to their apartments to shower and change into a comfortable, dry set of clothes.

Each one of them who were brave enough to use their lives for the mission were now rushing for a shower. Nanheng, who typically had mysophobia, was even faster. The moment he returned to the base, he went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Nanheng rubbed his damp, black, short hair and gave Han Jin, who had just entered, an unruffled glance.

Han Jin was not in a rush to speak. He waited for Nanheng to enter his closet and change into a fresh set of clothes, before saying: “Boss, we have already decided on the five snipers. Four of them came from Team One, while the other one came from Team Three. All of their scores are quite good. With the current situation in mind, I think we should arrange for them to live in the same place. This way, it’ll be more convenient to set up future training. Furthermore, I definitely cannot handle the training program for long-range snipers. I think in the entire base, you’re the most qualified drillmaster. In the future, Boss, you’ll be in charge of taking care of these five baby bears. We’ll have to trouble you with this. I think we should just arrange for them to stay in your building. In any case, the rooms downstairs have always been empty. This way, you’ll be able to interact comfortably with them. This place isn’t so far from Team One, so they’ll be able to rush for their normal morning training. During the time in between, you can arrange the long range training at your own convenience.”

Nanheng glanced at him. “How many rooms are there downstairs?”

“I asked Xiao Xu; he says there are four rooms available. There’s also a backup storeroom downstairs usually used to store firearms. We can tidy it up and empty up that fifth room. We’ll let every sniper trainee have their own rooms; this will be good for their recovery and other aspects. It’ll also be easier to manage them.”

Nanheng carelessly buttoned the cuffs of his black combat shirt, saying mildly. “Isn’t the room next to mine empty?”

Han Jin’s expression immediately turned profound. “It’s true that that room is empty, but amongst the five brats, K is definitely a crafty one. The other three are also worrying. I heard that, at their accommodation, they even installed speakers in their rooms. In the middle of the night, when they have nothing better to do, they’ll even sit together to sing karaoke. If they stay on the same floor as you, they might affect your sleep. The only one who is consistently quiet is Feng Ling. Then, shall I arrange for Feng Ling to stay next to you? In the future, you can take good care of him as well.”

Han Jin’s words were spoken with a level of artistry; on one hand, he was able to go along with his Boss’s intentions, and on the other hand, he also gave his boss a suitable explanation to use. The arrangement was made to sound appropriate; no one would find that it was intentionally planned.

Feng Ling was indeed the most reliable and the most quiet one; there was nothing wrong with Han Jin’s words.

Nanheng remained expressionless. He had already begun to fix his collar buttons. His expression was unhurried, as though he did not hear the explanation that was conveniently given to him, nor did he notice the underlying meaning. He appeared easygoing as he replied, “Then you can just arrange it as you please.”

“Great!” Han Jin was immediately pleased by the answer but did not dare to make his joy too obvious. He gave a simple report on other matters and immediately left to arrange the accommodations for those five members.

After the door was closed, the room returned to its silence.

Nanheng glanced coldly at the evening sky outside the windows. He approached the windows and, from there, he was able to see Feng Ling. Now that the rain had stopped, she remained in the training camp alone to practice her shooting.

During the last assessment today, the rain and wind had indeed been too strong. Although in the earlier tests, Feng Ling’s performance had been consistently outstanding, during the final assessment, she was very close to missing the target. It wasn’t a significant error, and she had still managed to be chosen. But for her, this was clearly a form of failure.

Her unwillingness to concede was clearly displayed right now.

Unwilling to concede?

Did he think he was capable of everything?

Nanheng set his composed gaze on the lonely, thin, and tall silhouette practicing over there.

He mocked in his heart, he knows that he was ranked last amongst the choices and is unwilling to accept it?

Someone with Feng Ling’s ability was part of the top ten in America in terms of close combat ability, and was also ranked first for two years in a row amongst their newbies. One moment, he displayed his perfect completion of a mission, and in the next, he stirred up new waves in their base.

To be chosen to receive the long range sniper training meant that the world had fallen into his hands.

Nanheng recalled the arrogant disposition typically concealed under the composed and quiet demeanor. Right now, he finally had the opportunity to properly torture this brat.

He only prayed that he wouldn’t be too soft-hearted.

Soft-hearted?

That was unlikely.

Nanheng glanced at his own palms. The sensation of the thin waist he had held in the hotel as well as the softness he had touched during his hallucination still seemed close to his skin.

It seemed like he had really drank too much?

But the strangeness of the situation really led him to feel extremely unhappy.

He clearly knew that he had transferred his own anger onto the innocent Feng Ling, yet he still remained petty. When Feng Ling finally landed in his hands, if he didn’t torture that brat into going through hell, he would reverse the order of his name Li Nanheng!
