Nanheng frowned in pain and was about to fight back. However, Feng Ling had no attempt to continue to fight with him this time. She evaded his palm and jumped onto the edge of the bucket. Stepping on the wall plates of the room that was not high, she managed to hop out!

Watching her escape, Nanheng didn’t look surprised but narrowed his eyes and looked at the hole on the roof.

A girl in the orphanage who was so good at martial arts couldn’t be an ordinary person. Just now, he tried to test her and find out about her purpose, but obviously she did not aim at him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t escape so quickly.

She was just a teenager.

What was her real identity?

Nanheng slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the torn sleeve on the ground.

——

The next day, the radio in the orphanage rang out, and the voice was clearly that of Director Lin, ordering all the children in the orphanage to gather in the square in the front of the orphanage. Both boys and girls must be present.

After the broadcasting, Director Lin turned around and looked respectfully at Nanheng who was expressionless. “Mr. Li, all the children will be present soon. We thought you will select from the list we provided to you, but you said you wanted to see all the children so that no child with potential would be left out. That’s really a great blessing for them…”

Nanheng didn’t respond to her but looked out from the balcony of the second floor. The view here was the best and the clearest. He watched these teenage boys and girls gradually show up, half of which were boys and half were girls.

Before Director Lin finished sucking up to him, the children cried excitedly as they saw the man above.

Li Nanheng, who they were looking at was the legendary Boss Li of the XI Base!

The Li family was very powerful and was in charge of the most mysterious XI Base. Boss Li, who was quite mysterious, was literally a god in their minds.

But now their god was standing on the second floor of the building of the orphanage.

He was even looking at them.

The children all became excited as if they were to be recruited into the XI Base in the next second. The XI Base had a connection to the American police and army. As long as they could become a member of the XI Base, they wouldn’t worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives and they could even win laurels and thus enter the military and political circles, which would be a great chance for them.

If they developed well in the XI Base, they could have a skyrocketing rise in their lives.

All children of the orphanage were present. There were over a hundred of them, from five or six to eighteen years old.

Director Lin called the roll and any child whose name was called would come out and answer.

However, after more than an hour, all the children had come out but Nanheng hadn’t found the one he wanted to find.

He was sure that girl was at this orphanage because she was wearing the uniform of the orphanage, which was a long-sleeved black uniform, similar to a school uniform, with the name and logo of the orphanage on the cuff.

But she was not among the over a hundred children.

Nanheng’s eyes swept over the faces of the children one by one, asking indifferently, “Are you sure all the children are present?”

“Yes, they’re all here. Our orphanage is the largest Chinese-run orphanage in Los Angeles, and there are 127 children under the age of 18 who have not yet been adopted. They are all here now.” Director Lin said respectfully with a smile, “But isn’t it true that the XI Base never accepts girls? Why are you suddenly asking for the girls to come out today, Mr. Li?”

Nanheng didn’t answer her but looked deadpan at the children that were looking at him earnestly, and their uniforms.

One hundred and twenty-seven. No one was missing indeed.

Seeing Boss Li looking at the children’s faces and figures with a straight face, Director Lin and the teachers of the orphanage wondered what he was looking at or waiting for but dared not ask him.

The children were gradually in an uproar. Everyone who was looked at by Boss Li was very excited, feeling that happiness was coming to him.

Feng Ling’s name was not put into the list of the children by the orphanage when she was sent here by the police because she was too special. Although she also attended classes, no one ever thought of adding her name in.

So when Nanheng asked to see all children, the staff of the orphanage was too excited they forgot her. They forgot the boy locked up in that dark small room.

Feng Ling hardly communicated with people and would be injected with tranquilizer every morning. If she could gather up enough strength, she would go to the dining hall for lunch, and if not, she had to wait for a doctor to bring her food. She never showed up or made contact with anyone except when necessary, so she was easily forgotten.

And even if someone thought of her, they didn’t want to let her show up on such an occasion.

Feng Ling was bad-tempered and stubborn. If she offended Li Nanheng, they would be in serious trouble, so she should never show up here!

However, Boss Li seemed to be unsatisfied. He was a man of low profile and mystery. No one could know what he was thinking, but… Li Nanheng’s eyes were so cold that they couldn’t help but panic.

In an unsettled state of mind, they were wondering why he gave them this look. His king-like aura made those who were stared by him change from being excited to gradually nervous and even unable to breathe in the end.

On the other side.

Feng Ling lay on her bed in her dark room, her eyes slightly open, staring at the dark ceiling as usual.

When she got back last night, she washed up, changed her clothes, and went to bed. Although she remained alert during the night, the person who had been hiding in a corner didn’t show up again, and it was not until dawn that she finally fell asleep, after which the doctor duly came in to sedate her.

She had very familiar with the doctor’s movement and the smell of disinfectant water on his. This process had been repeated every day for a year, so Feng Ling continued to sleep, ignoring the doctor. Anyway, they had a thousand ways to get the tranquilizer into her, and she was tired of fighting.

She was given the same amount of tranquilizer as usual, and although it would not keep her asleep for long, she would be unable to get out of bed for at least a few hours in the morning. Only in the afternoon did she gradually regain some of her strength to get up and walk freely.
