Chapter 924: The Story of Ling and Heng (187)
Right now, there was no way the leader would protect him!
Li Nanheng was so busy, yet he was able to appear at such a vital moment!
The gods truly had it out against him!
"Even the commander in this place is so weak; he couldn't even compare with a newcomer in my sniper team. Before touching my people, did you pause to consider if you had the ability?" Li Nanheng lowered his voice to speak coldly: "Death was the only reasonable consequence for that commander. If you're so loyal to your master, why don't you accompany him directly to hell?"
Daniken trembled from head to toe. No matter how he struggled, he was firmly held against the still-warm corpse of the fat commander. The thick scent of blood caused him to feel nauseous, and the fright he was experiencing led him to abandon all of his concerns. He turned his gaze onto the frowning, silent leader: "Save me..."
The leader hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Li, this is a conflict between the XI Base and the military. Since you have personally arrived, let us first send the commander's corpse to a forensic investigator. As for everything else, to respect Mr. Li and the XI Base, why don't we change locations for a proper discussion? As for the cause of this matter, since someone has already paid with his life, and the person was our military commander, the right-and-wrong of this matter cannot be easily decided. We still need more time..."
"There is no right-and-wrong. Only legal self-defense," Li Nanheng answered coldly.
No one dared to speak up.
Li Nanheng had both reason and evidence on his side, and he did not intend to have Feng Ling shoulder the blame of killing someone. Seeing his attitude, the leader frowned: "But our commander was killed by a member of your base. Do you expect us to let it go just like this? Do you think murdering someone in the military district is such a light matter?"
Li Nanheng did not turn back. He watched as Daniken struggled on top of the fat commander's corpse. He pressed his military-issued boot against the man's back with even more force. The pain caused Daniken's face to ashen.
"Drugging is no simple matter; much less murder. Since it's such a serious matter, this Li one cannot escape the responsibility. But if you wish to investigate this matter, let us investigate this matter thoroughly."
After speaking, Li Nanheng left the man there.
His cold words caused Daniken's body to stiffen. His gaze blurred for a moment as his face remained pressed against the commander's body. After a long moment, he still could not manage to stand. His face was also frighteningly pale.
What Li Nanheng meant was that he would not intentionally conceal the matter of Feng Ling murdering one of their commanders. He would be happy to cooperate with them and blow this matter up; to intensify this matter until all of the facts were revealed. In other words, he would leave no stone unturned. This included the incidents the military had been forcefully suppressing in the past years. If they really wanted to investigate this matter fully, he would help them to serve out all of their dirty secrets.
No matter how one calculated, the only party on the losing end here was the military.
Although the XI Base wouldn't gain any benefits from murdering someone, the military would similarly suffer. Both parties could throw away their thoughts about an easy life from here on.
Daniken watch as the leader turned to him with a cold expression. He understood that his life was now completely over.
There was no need for Li Nanheng to say anything more. Just by expressing his intention to pursue this matter, Daniken's fate was sealed. He would be sacrificed to suppress this matter. There was no way the military would dare make the XI Base take responsibility for this.
Li Nanheng reached out and pressed tapped the laptop's keyboard twice. The scene of Feng Ling murdering the commander was replayed slowly.
In the surveillance footage, Feng Ling's face was covered in blood, and the wound on her forehead was obvious. However, her movements remained terrifyingly fast as she slashed the man's neck accurately, delivering a fatal wound with frightening ease. This clearly revealed that, when the commander had smashed her head against the wall, she had truly been tolerating him. She did not put up any resistance, and it was the commander who insisted on digging his own grave by testing her limits.
Her combat skills revealed her familiarity with the human body's vital spots. Everyone present, be it the military men or the elites of the XI Base, were all dumbfounded. Following this, there was an uproar of disbelief.
Who would have thought that a young, newcomer in their base would have such outstanding skills!
Even her speed was beyond what a normal human was capable of; she delivered the blow with such ease!
It was as though she had the senses and speed of a wolf.
No one could compete with this.
Everyone immediately fell silent. Li Nanheng appeared to be a man who valued talents. If his subordinate was wronged, he naturally wouldn't neglect it. Furthermore, the person who had been wronged was the member with the most potential in their sniper team. It was completely reasonable for him to be defending that member with all of his power.
After watching the footage, Li Nanheng took long strides out of the door. His frighteningly cold silhouette made it impossible for anyone to stop him. Not only Daniken who was on the ground, even the leader, who stood by the door, was somewhat pale. He eyed the corpse on the ground and felt that, if even a newcomer in the XI Base was this capable, if the military really stood against the XI Base, there was a chance they would lose.
Right now, the United Nation's circumstances were unclear. The military could not move on their own. If they had a conflict with the XI Base...
Li Nanheng, especially, although the Li family seemed like it had separated itself from the military world and was currently involved in business, the Lit family still held politician and business power. He had heard that the Li family even had intentions of linking with the Feng family in a marriage alliance. If the two families were to join forces, they would truly have significant power against the American army. The military would also suffer a loss in power.
Based on this fact alone, if Daniken and the Commander hadn't been blinded by their private desires, they would never have dared to touch the people from XI Base.
Right now, the matter of XI Base's member murdering their commander was no longer in discussion. Instead, they could only attempt to pacify XI Base's rage because the commander was already dead. Otherwise, this would truly be difficult to conclude.
As for that surveillance footage, not only was Li Nanheng angered, even the military leader felt enraged.
How did their brains function? Typically, if they were fond of someone in their teams and were able to convince them, it was their own business how they fooled around. But right now, these two idiots had actually stretched their hands out toward the XI Base that absolutely could not be provoked. They had stirred up trouble for the military for no good reason.
No one in the hallway dared to speak up. Li Nanheng's expression was cold and indifferent as he walked unhurriedly. He did not react to all of the military men who had their guns directed at him. The elite members following behind him were similarly fearless. Even if these men were given a hundred peoples' worth of courage, they still wouldn't dare to fire their guns. Even if they wanted to intimidate him, they had to first look at how their master had the words 'guilty conscience' written all over his face. If they dared to fire against him, none of them would be able to bear the consequences.
