  At this time, the military leader said with a smile, “Mr. Li, you have been cooperative in terms of these missions and you’re also a responsible and thoughtful person. The United Nations and our superiors have been very satisfied with XI Base. But even if XI Base is very important, there is the United Nations above you. No matter how powerful the Li family is, your lifeline is still in the hands of the United Nations. If you delay this mission because of your own interests, your superiors may take the power away from the base or dismiss you from your post. Then it’s not worth the trouble for you.”


  Li Nanheng was not threatened by these words at all. He said word by word and his cold eyes seemed to be able to freeze people to death. “No matter who is above us, even if it’s God, as long as XI Base is in my hands, the personnel arrangement shall be up to me. The military should only assist us and has no right to interfere in any decision in our base.”


  The people of the military immediately shut up, but everyone could feel that the temperature in the conference room was freezing.

  No one dared to look at the faces of the military leaders and Boss Li’s that were both as cold as an iceberg.

  Feng Ling was not afraid of death but after hearing the words of the military leader, she had roughly understood the importance of this mission. She was not an idiot and certainly could tell that Boss Li didn’t want her to be in danger. But why? So she just said, “If you need me, I will be happy to cooperate. As a member of XI Base, I shoulder the mission of the base. I won’t hesitate to go to the most dangerous place if it’s necessary.”


  Xiao Xu almost broke the pen in his hand. He raised his hand to touch his chin without saying anything but, for some reason, he suddenly felt a bit sad.

  Boss Li was not just protecting the life of Feng Ling. Boss Li had a bad temper and everyone knew it, but he was still respected and awed by everyone.

  As long as you were one of his men, he would never neglect your life, unlike those people in the military who took Xi Base as a meat shield and hid behind the base.

  Although they always rushed at the front, the one standing at the forefront was always Boss Li himself.

  Probably because Li Nanheng’s cold stare almost froze Feng Ling, she said, “Of course, Boss Li’s order is required. If Boss doesn’t agree, no one in the entire base is qualified to act without permission.”


  Xiao Xu raised an eyebrow and thought, ‘So Feng Ling still has a desire to survive. Otherwise, if you go against Boss Li in front of the military leaders, you might not be able to see tomorrow’s sun.’


  Li Nanheng remained deadpan and coldly said again, “Get out.”


  Being told to ‘get out’ twice, Feng Ling said nothing more and turned away.

  After Feng Ling’s figure disappeared from the conference room, the military leader smiled but his smile didn’t reach his eyes. He just said, “When XI Base was established, the older generation people lacked the foresight and didn’t train some brave and smart women at the base in addition to men. Otherwise, we don’t have to face such a difficult situation to find a suitable man to disguise as a woman.”


  The military leader paused and continued, “Of course, if this mission fails or any danger occurs, then I am afraid that the seniors of the Li family will also be to blame. I remember they firmly opposed to letting women enter the base. But in this era, men and women are the same. An alert and strong woman won’t be worse than men. Now we need a weak-looking woman to work undercover, which shows how wrong a decision the seniors of the Li family and XI Base’s founder had made back then. Just like all other Chinese people, the seniors of your family prefer boys to girls.”


  Li Nanheng glanced at the military leader and said, “If the US military and police take women so seriously, why can’t you even find a single qualified woman for this mission? Why do you have to come to XI Base and try to find a man to disguise as a woman?”


  The military suddenly froze and his eyes darkened.

  “As far as I know, in the military bases in Los Angeles, there are not a few strong women. I have seen a few ladies mixed in the personnel in the previous operations, but none of them seem to be of any use. Since you don’t have the stupid traditional thoughts of the older generation, why don’t you put those ladies into use?”


  “This is your XI Base’s job. You are responsible for fighting on the front lines and providing support. We are only responsible for coordination. It is not my job to mobilize personnel. Since the task is assigned to you, of course, you should use your own personnel,” the military leader said coldly.

  The emperor-like man sitting at the center of the conference table tilted his head and a cold gleam flashed across his deep, dark eyes. “Since it’s not your job, who gives you the right to assign a specific person for this mission? You guys are just cowards that always hide behind XI Base. How do you have the nerve to accuse us?”


  “You……”


  Before the military leader had the time to speak, the handsome and cool man picked up the computer on the table and went out under everyone’s stare.

  “What’s wrong with Mr. Li? He has always been very polite to the military. Why does he seem very upset this time……”


  “I don’t know. Maybe it’s because the military leader acts arrogantly and provocatively every time he comes. Does he think that our XI Base shall follow his orders? That’s ridiculous. Our boss is never a pushover.”


  “If it weren’t because the seniors of the Li family wanted XI Base to retain their right in the United Nations, Boss Li would have fallen out with them. Gee, these people really don’t know what gratefulness is. If it weren’t for XI Base, in so many dangerous missions, their men must have died a lot……”


  “Yes, there is an old saying that two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. The US military has taken XI Base as an eyesore. After all, their rights have been divided by XI Base. So many dangerous missions were assigned to us and we managed to successfully finish them, so they just take it for granted. Now they even have the nerve to boss around in our base. They’re really shameless.”


  People in the conference room began to whisper to each other.

  In a provocative and indifferent posture, the military leader sneered and leaned back on the chair, watching Li Nanheng walk out without looking back and slightly narrowing his eyes.
