"Mr. Mo's... wife?" Feng Ling watched him. "Is it the person you guys brought up previously, the person who saved Mr. Mo's life?"

"It's her. Her name is Ji Nuan. She's the young lady of Hai City's Ji Group. Mo Jingshen's wife." Qin Siting lifted one corner of his lips. "Back when Mo Jingshen met with an accident in Los Angeles, you were still receiving your training. The incident was quite serious, and Li Nanheng was also injured. He wasn't as injured as Mo Jingshen, but he returned to the base alone to recover. You probably don't know much about what was going on at the time."

At the time, Feng Ling was still young. She was living peacefully in the base and didn't pay much attention to such matters. Still, she naturally had heard of Mr. Mo. Although he had never appeared in the base, his existence was akin to a god.

Feng Ling knew that Mr. Mo was someone the base valued and respected greatly. She heard that his hands had never been stained with blood and that he only acted as their advisor on rare occasions. However, he was extremely intelligent and decisive. When it came to the things Mr. Mo wanted to do, no one could outscheme him.

Even Li Nanheng had some respect for this so-called brother. When it came to three of them, they would do their utmost whenever they needed each other's help.

Mr. Mo was such an existence... in that case, the wife he placed in his heart was surely an outstanding woman.

"Is Hai City very far?"

"It's in China. You'll have to go around half the earth. Is that far enough for you?"

Feng Ling watched him: "Why are you asking me?"

"Before I came to America, Mo Jingshen was coincidentally looking for a capable bodyguard. I knew of this, and when I heard about you, I thought you're probably reluctant to return to the base. But we can't just let you run off to somewhere and stay hidden. Why not let you be Mrs. Mo's bodyguard then? Regardless of your skills or all other aspects, you're trustworthy."

Feng Ling was quiet for a moment.

Qin Siting watched her. "Do you want to do it?"

"Even if I wished to go, will XI Base let me?" Feng Ling returned the question to him.

"Right now, you are the instructor XI Base has hired. Your name is still connected to the base. On a lot of matters, you don't have the freedom to decide. If you wish to leave for Hai City, you may need to obtain Li Nanheng's agreement and signature. Without it, it may be hard for you to even make it out of America."

Feng Ling was astonished. "I need his signature?"

"Naturally." Qin Siting spoke mildly: "The XI Base isn't a simple place in America. Previously, you were able to work for the deputy mayor's family because they belong to the government. All you needed was a hiring letter from them. But this time, you're leaving on your own initiative. You need to receive the base's representative's agreement and signature."

Feng Ling completely did not consider ever looking for Li Nanheng again. In fact, she had hoped to avoid all interactions and entanglements with him for the foreseeable future.

However, she never thought that the first opportunity she had to leave America to visit China and explore the beautiful city of Hai City, was completely held in Li Nanheng's hands.

"Are there no other methods?"

"No. Your name is attached to XI Base. Without special permission, you can't leave the country. The customs won't let you pass."

Feng Ling watched the coffee cup before her and gently rubbed the side of the cup: "I understand."

——

Someone who had refused to return to the base several days ago suddenly appeared in that very base. This news really left a group of brothers bewildered.

The key was that, when Feng Ling, who had rejected the base for a whole two days reappeared, her gaze was set firmly ahead as she charged toward the hall. She had completely no intention of reconnecting with them or to look anywhere else. Instead, it was the group of men passing by who discovered her. They were all saying that Feng Ling had returned.

Feng Ling when to the hall. When Ah Feng saw her, his eyes lit up: "You thought things through? Are you willing to come back now? We specially went to pick you up, yet you refused. How did you manage to come back now? Did you drive or..."

"Ah Feng, if I wish to leave the country, must I obtain the base's representative's signature?" Feng Ling went straight to the main topic.

Ah Feng's expression faltered for a moment: "Leave the country? Are you going abroad? Where?"

"China, Hai City."

"Why are you going to Hai City? You've never mentioned having any friends or family there..." Ah Feng abruptly paused.

Feng Ling was an orphan. Naturally, she wouldn't have any relatives. She has also never visited China. How would she have any friends there?

"Mr. Mo's wife needs a bodyguard. They feel that I am suitable. I also think I should go explore Hai City a bit," Feng Ling spoke composedly. "If I ask you to give me your signature and give me permission to leave the country, will that do?"

"Mr. Mo's wife? I've heard about Mr. Mo's plans to choose someone here to guard Mrs. Mo, but they've never decided on anyone. How did you learn about this?"

"I met Doctor Qin."

Doctor Qin rarely interfered in other people's matters. Unless Mr. Mo himself asked for Feng Ling, or Boss Li also knew about this, Doctor Qin wouldn't have spoken to her.

Thus, Ah Feng also became unsure about this matter.

"All the base members have to go through the proper procedures when leaving America. If you wish to head abroad, with your identity as an instructor here, you need to have Boss Li's signature."

"Aside from his signature, is there no other method?"

"No. It won't do even if the Li family's elders vouch for you."

Feng Ling fell silent. She watched Ah Feng for a moment and turned to leave.

"Eh, Feng Ling, where are you going?" Ah Feng watched her aggressive backview and rushed to ask in a whisper.

"I'm going to look for Li Nanheng." Feng Ling did not even look back.

"Do you know where he is?"

Feng Ling finally came to a halt. She raised her head to look at the familiar XI Base. Despite her two years of absence, it was as though nothing had changed. All of the training grounds and all of the groups; everything was as it had been in the past.

However, it seemed like there were also some changes. For example, the members would have been shifted around. Naturally, their accommodation would also have been changed. Everything wouldn't be where it was.

Feng Ling's gaze abruptly shifted onto the square in front of the hall. She looked at the ground she had once laid on as an extremely sorry figure.

Everything that had once happened flashed by her mind. She shifted her indifferent gaze away and was about to speak to Ah Feng when abruptly, several of the men she previously interacted with noticed her. They rushed to greet her in a fit of excitement and humour: "Nice to meet you, Instructor Feng!"

Feng Ling pursed her lips. She turned to see that Ah Feng Ling was smiling kindly. He was clearly welcoming her return.
