Back in her room, Xie Zhiyan gently massaged her shoulders, and Shu Ying squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
"Why are you being so attentive today? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Xie Zhiyan smiled; Shu Ying was always the one who understood him best.
"So many things have happened at home, but thankfully you've been there to support me. Otherwise, I would have been completely overwhelmed. Now that Mom has passed away and the paternity test is done, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Yingying, thank you."
Shu Ying met his gaze and accepted his thanks without hesitation.
"Well, at least you know how to be grateful. Now, could you massage my legs?"

Li Kai and Wang Shengping both looked rather listless. They kept rubbing their eyes, which were different from usual today. Their eyes felt very painful and were constantly tearing up.
Li Kai nodded: "Don't worry, Section Chief. We definitely won't miss a single corner. We've all worked the night shift countless times, and we all know the procedures by heart. Tonight, we won't let even a fly in."
