The executives of the orphanage and Director Lin all heaved a breath of relief.
Fortunately, Boss Li didn’t insist on going in. Otherwise, if that Feng Ling offended him, they would be in serious trouble.
It seemed like a false alarm.
One of the executives walked back, pushed the door open, and saw the tall, slender boy standing by the window.
He frowned and said angrily, “It seems that the dose of tranquilizer should be increased in the future. We shouldn’t have taken you, a pest in here. Look at you, eccentric and unsociable. You can’t even survive in a place like this. I think you can only sit to eat to wait for death and spend your entire life as waste here. Why don’t you return to your wolf hole to continue to be an animal?”
With that, as if finally giving a vent to his panic, he slammed the door shut with a bang and turned to leave.
In the room, Feng Ling looked coldly out of the window at the person walking away, raised her hand, indifferently looked at the small red needle holes in her arm that would increase every day, and gave a cold smile.
Increase the dose of tranquilizer?
She put up with it for a year. What made them think she would stay here as a prisoner for the rest of her life?
A year was long enough for her body to develop antibodies to the tranquilizer and she would gradually regain her strength every afternoon. No one could stop her if she wanted to go.
She slipped her hand under her clothes and hid the dagger into them, glancing out of the window at the sky and coldly curving the corners of her lips.
——
At night.
The advanced military Hummer shone with a layer of cold glint in the cold moonlight.
Only three or four people from the orphanage had passed the screening and could be taken back to XI Base for training. During the training period of two months, if they failed in any of the physical fitness tests within two months, they would still be returned to the orphanage and would never be chosen again.
Seeing the slick Hummer left in the dark night, the people of the orphanage finally relaxed.
At the same time, on the other side of the orphanage, a black figure trotted past nimbly, avoiding all the security guards and security cameras in the courtyard. With all the security guards outside the wall at the main entrance today, the defense was lax, so she climbed over the wall and easily cut the wire of the security net at the top of the wall. After the power was cut off, there was no electricity on the security net and she could crawl through it with her bare hands.
When the figure managed to climb over the high walls of the orphanage and walked quietly out in the dark, another Hummer closely following the one that Li Nanheng took suddenly stopped.
“Boss, we’ve found him. He is there!” The driver got a glimpse of the figure that had climbed from the wall of the orphanage.
Li Nanheng said indifferently, “Keep an eye on him.”
“He seemed only to be trying to escape and was now heading in the direction of the main road. The security net on the walls of the orphanage has such a strong current that ordinary people could not climb out. This kid is not bad. He climbed out safe and sound without being discovered by the people inside.”
Nanheng didn’t say anything but glanced in the direction of the ‘boy”s escape, signaling to the driver to follow with his eyes.
The black Hummer who had been dormant in the night for a long time, suddenly started to chase her, followed by several bodyguards’ cars.
The people at the orphanage had no idea what happened. Ten minutes later, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the orphanage’s security room. “What happened? The security net is broken!”
In a distance, Feng Ling walked on foot. Hearing the sound of the cars behind her, she knew Li Nanheng would not easily let her go. She connected the wire she had just removed from the security net to the two batteries she was carrying in her arms and tossed the wire into the grass and bushes behind her as it sparkled with the battery. In an instant, the wire fell into the middle of the flammable bush, sparks flew, and electric currents came from it. As the flame shot up and crackled, the black Hummer had to stop before it could get through the grass.
Feng Ling took the opportunity to run to another path that vehicles couldn’t pass and escape in the opposite direction to the cars.
Nanheng got out of the car, walked to the edge of the bush where the fire had flared up, and stopped with one hand in his trouser pocket. Wearing a black suit jacket, he raised his cold, black eyes and looked at the fast-fleeing figure. There was a glimmer of interest in his deep, dark eyes.
The people in the cars rushed down, put out the fire in the bushes, and went on after Feng Ling.
But half an hour later, they all returned empty-handed.
They couldn’t believe, as the elite members of XI Base, with a zero-defeat record, they were actually fooled by a teenage boy and couldn’t find him.
How was this possible?
What was that boy’s real identity?
“Boss...”Several of his men came back pale. “We can’t find that boy. We have checked all the roads but found no trace of his. And the only left road is a dead-end, on the end of which are mountains and jungles full of wild tigers, jackals, leopards and so on that can eat people alive. The United States has a history of leaving these natural jungles undisturbed. They are so dangerous that if the boy had got into them, he would not have survived.”
He would not have survived?
Nanheng coldly glanced at the path to the jungle and then at the charred wires his men had found in the bushes.
She was clearly a decisive little she-wolf. A random wire and battery could give her a chance to escape. Since she dared to enter the jungle, she must be able to survive there.
“Will you have the thought of removing a piece of wire from the security net to set fire to protect yourselves in such a critical time?” Nanheng asked, ran his black boots over the blackened battery fluid on the ground, looked down at the wires that had been thrown on the ground, the bushes and the jungle beyond, and looked as cold as a dark god. “She has had such a quick, determined mind and great martial skills at such a young age. We can’t let her off. If we find her, either persuade her to join us or kill her.”
His men all looked solemn.
They dared not to look straight at their boss who was staring at them harshly.
It seems that they failed to catch the boy back, which made Boss very unhappy.
Some of the men secretly glanced at their boss’ expression, only to look away immediately, for Nanheng’s cold eyes were dark and unfathomable, like an endless sea of glaciers, dangerous and cold.
