Chapter 1041: The Story of Ling and Heng (304)
Other people might not be able to recognize the outline of a gun, but Feng Ling could.
Her eyelids twitched with a jerk in an instant.
The two people had guns and headed for the floor where she and Li Nanheng lived.
But they obviously didn't know her.
So, who were they coming for? The answer was obvious.
Seeing that the elevator door was closed, Feng Ling paused for a while and then walked quickly to the stairways not far away. She rushed straight up and ran to the fourteenth floor at a stretch. Then she jumped out from the window.
In modern buildings, especially in the United States, high-rise buildings would have a fire escape on the fourteenth floor beside the outer wall, which was like a long public balcony.
Feng Ling lurked on this fire escape. She looked up and it was the fifteenth floor where she and Li Nanheng lived. It was only two or three meters away from the window of Li Nanheng's apartment.
——
In the room.
Li Nanheng raised his arms and moved them to alleviate the pain in his back that tortured him all night. Although it was not a big problem, it still hurt. He should take a rest and shouldn't do any strenuous exercise in a few days.
Suddenly the phone rang, he took the phone. When he saw the caller ID, he slightly frowned and answered the call.
"Boss! Do you remember the group of drug dealers we eliminated three months ago in Los Angeles? Their remnants that escaped by chance appeared again! Now they have contacted their partners from all over the country and are lurking around. They can't get in here at XI Base. But they may have found your whereabouts. Boss, you must be careful! Where are you? We will send some people to protect you!"
As soon as he said so, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
At this time, Feng Ling had already left, and if there was no special reason, she would never come and knock on his door.
Listening to the knock on the door, Li Nanheng said to the phone. "They have already come. It's too late."
With that, he hung up the phone and put on the sports jacket placed on the sofa to cover his wound on the back of his neck. Then he took out a silencer gun under the cushion of the sofa and stuffed it into the trouser pocket before he walked to the door and leaned against the door, listening to the sound outside.
The knock on the door lasted for about two minutes and it suddenly became quiet outside. Li Nanheng put one hand in his trouser pocket and stroked the handle of the gun. His eyes were deep and cold. After about a minute, the knock on the door continued but no longer with the strength and rhythm just now.
It seemed that there were at least two people outside.
The one who knocked on the door just now was quietly trying to enter from other entrances. Now there was another person knocking on the door. According to the knocking strength, it should be a woman.
From the spot of the door being knocked, this woman was much taller than an ordinary woman and was good at martial arts. She wasn't simple.
At this moment, Li Nanheng glanced at the bedroom. There were two other ways to enter his room from the outside. One was the fire escape on the fourteenth floor, but the two people were just outside the door and couldn't get in from there. The other was the balcony of the living room. They could get into the room from there by stepping on the fixed air conditioner external unit. The distance was only about ten meters. For people with good martial arts, it was easy to get in from there. It would only take them two or three minutes.
If there were two or more people of the other party, he must be quick and solve the woman outside the door before the other people broke in. Otherwise, he would be easily besieged by the other people in this narrow space.
When the knock on the door diminished, Li Nanheng opened the door with a jerk and a gun was immediately put against his forehead. Li Nanheng lifted his hands up instantly and pretended to surrender. As if not expecting this to happen, he looked at the Asian woman outside the door "in surprise."
Pointing the gun at Li Nanheng, the Asian woman kicked the door open. She held the gun with one hand and grabbed Li Nanheng closer to her with another. Then she pressed the gun hard against his forehead, saying with a cold and triumphant smile. "Hey, we meet again, Mr. Li!"
The surprise in Li Nanheng's eyes was replaced by calmness. He seemed to be helpless at the fact that he was caught and said in a low voice, "Raisa, it's been a long time."
The woman called Raisa sneered and pressed the gun to his forehead even harder while pushing him back into the room step by step. Without taking the gun away, she said seductively, "I'm glad you still remember my name. Mr. Li, guess why I'm here?"
Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "To take my life?"
Raisa grasped him by the chest and her eyes turned ferocious and hateful. She strode forward step by step until she pressed the man onto the wall near the balcony, shouting resentfully, "My husband! He was killed by you in the Philippines! My seven-year-old son and two-year-old daughter followed me to a war-torn country, but died under the bombers! My life has been ruined by you! In the past two years, I followed the group of drug dealers drifting from place to place just to make a living, but you still refused to let me off! You took everything from me! Now you tell me, should I take your life with my own hands?!"
Li Nanheng leaned against the wall. Although the gun was pressed against his forehead, his eyes were still calm and cold. He calmly looked at the woman in front of him who was crazy with hatred. "We've investigated you. You were born in Hai City, China. At the age of fifteen, you began to work as a prostitute in nightclubs. At the age of seventeen, you were abducted by your husband, became a part of the underworld, and committed all kinds of criminal activities. You could have been living a quiet life in Hai City, but you made the wrong choices. This is the life you chose. Who can you blame?"
