Chapter 946: The Story of Ling and Heng (209)

Noticing that Feng Ling was looking at someone, Grandpa Li turned back, only to see Li Nanheng. He didn’t say anything and just glanced at her again. “What? I have given you a few minutes. Haven’t you decided yet? Are you going to keep silent like this? Don’t you dare admit what you’ve done?”

Li Nanheng’s eyes were placid and he seemed to have no intention to communicate with her with eyes.

Feng Ling suddenly remembered Feng Mingzhu’s words.

He didn’t go back or contact her these days because the seniors of the Li family were suspecting her. He kept away from her and didn’t have any contact with her to protect her from any suspicions and harm.

Because even if he just called her or sent her text messages, the seniors of the Li family could find out as long as they wanted.

At this time, she suddenly understood him.

Although the seniors of the Li family came for her, since they didn’t stop Li Nanheng from coming, it showed that they didn’t want to kill her and still gave her a chance to explain.

Such an opportunity was hard to get. After all, the people present were all authoritative ones from all sides.

“Little Brother Feng Ling?” A man from the Li family raised his eyebrows and reminded her softly.

Feng Ling came back from her reverie and looked at the people sitting in front of her calmly. Instead of taking all the charges as she had planned, she told exactly what happened that day, including that the people of the military base installed a surveillance camera in her and K’s room.

With that, she calmly said, “Yes, I did kill the commander. I plead guilty to the charge, but if you have watched the surveillance video at that time, you should be clear that I didn’t attack him in the beginning. Man has an instinct for survival. I couldn’t just let him kill K and me. He was cursing and insulting me and my colleague’s life was also at risk. I’m sorry. I didn’t consider the friendship between the base and the military. That’s my fault.”

“Oh, so you don’t admit that you did anything wrong?”

Feng Ling smiled coldly. “I admit the crime of murder, but as to whether I was in the wrong…” She paused, looking at the man standing quietly in the distance as if casually, and asked word by word, “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I admit I was in the wrong?”

“You! How dare you!” The other people didn’t say anything but the leaders of the military immediately got furious.

Feng Ling answered without any hesitation, “I was in XI Base for so many years and the drillmasters and teachers in the base taught me that admit when you’ve done something wrong, but if you’re not in the wrong, don’t be forced to admit you are.”

Feeling the gaze of Li Nanheng, she paused and smiled. “Besides, I was not hiding from punishment these days. It was just because the commander kept hitting my head against the wall and I was in a coma in the past few days. You should have seen what happened from the video. The commander almost crushed my head. Yes, the commander’s life is precious, but what about mine?”

Grandpa Li looked at her and asked coldly, “What makes you think… Base XI will not punish you for this matter?”

Feng Ling lowered her eyes. Her voice was much gentler than usual. “Because the teachers at XI Base once said, no matter newcomers, senior members, elite members, drillmasters, or directors, we are all equal. Although I killed the commander of the military, I was just trying to protect myself and he deserved it. Being killed doesn’t make him innocent! Please think, what you would do if he did the same thing to you!”

Grandfather Li slightly raised his eyebrows again. “But the military said Nanheng tried his best to protect you because he is as interested in men as the commander. He bent the law for personal feelings…”

Feng Ling was still wearing the black uniform of the base. Standing upright, she was neither humble nor overbearing. Hearing Grandfather Li’s words, she instantly understood what the Li family wanted today.

All they wanted was to protect the reputations of XI Base and Li Nanheng. They didn’t mind sacrificing her to appease the military. They only cared about the influence of this matter on XI Base and Li Nanheng.

They had no intention of targeting anyone, but obviously, anyone who dared to use this matter against the Li family would be their enemy.

He was giving Feng Ling an opportunity to explain.

Feng Ling smiled. “As far as I know, Boss Li always rushes ahead on dangerous missions, although he is the person in charge of the base and the only grandson of the Li family. I think it’s because Boss is a man of integrity that he tried to protect me after learning that I was wronged. This is the first time I heard this kind of rumor. He has protected so many members of the base, is he interested in all of them? I heard that a member blocked a bullet for Boss in a mission and died and Boss held his body and sat in the minefield all night. How can such brotherhood be tarnished?”

Grandpa Li smiled again and asked meaningfully, “It’s said in the base that you sleep around in the base and are despised and rejected by many members. Can you explain?”
