Commander Du gave her a warning look, but Du Zhiwei continued to do as she pleased.
"It's not like we don't have professionals; it just takes a little time. People who don't know better might think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs employs a bunch of useless people. Her privileged family background is what's there to be so smug about?"
Commander Du glared at her sternly, his words carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Zhiwei, all the manners you learned as a child have gone down the drain, like food eaten by a dog?"
Du Zhiwei defiantly met Xie Zhiyan's gaze, but the other party only swept over her with a cold look, and the chilling eyes made Du Zhiwei freeze instantly.
She had never seen Xie Zhiyan like this before; his gaze could even be described as indifferent.
Indifferent, disdainful, and even somewhat mocking.
Xie Zhiyan was in a bad mood when he arrived at work, and he was met with a blow as soon as he got there early in the morning.
First, he learned that Shu Ying's childhood sweetheart, Jiang Yunzhou, had not died. Instead, he had made a glamorous comeback at his workplace's military factory, becoming a highly educated intellectual and a returned professor, praised by everyone.
Then he heard that he needed Shu Ying's help to translate documents, and it turned out that it was Jiang Yunzhou, that bastard, who recommended her.
He was instantly filled with rage.
Jiang Yunzhou is still alive! He didn't die!
But when he learned that Shu Ying was in trouble, he not only did not show up to help her, but also disappeared without a trace.
It was as if all the friendship he and Shu Ying had built over the years had gone down the drain. Even ordinary friends, knowing she was in danger, would probably try to find a way to protect her.
Since he did nothing back then, he didn't need to show up again. But he just didn't know his place. Even though he was right next to them, he still dragged Shu Ying into this vortex.
This is not a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, nor is it a high-level merit that can make one stand out. Rather, it is an undercurrent of turmoil that anyone with discerning eyes can see.
The secret missions inside the military factory are not accessible to ordinary people. Even the professors who returned from abroad needed special protection, let alone Shu Ying.
But he was the only one who didn't lend a helping hand; instead, he was always happy to cause trouble for Shu Ying.
Once Shu Ying accepts this mission, it will be tantamount to establishing an inseparable connection with the military factory, at which point she will become a target of the enemy.
With her exceptional language skills and medical expertise honed through overseas studies, she had traveled abroad and gained a broad perspective.
If the document can be fully translated, even more confidential internal information may be revealed.
No matter which aspect is taken from Shu Ying, it is something that the enemy must eliminate.
Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought about the dangers Shu Ying was about to face.
One of his hands hung limply at his side, clenched into a fist, his muscles tense, and his expression cold and intimidating.
He couldn't imagine how he would face it if something really happened to Shu Ying.
This is not only a storm, but also a battlefield fraught with hidden dangers.
