A quiet world and peaceful ears are what she has always longed for.
But after the initial joy, she couldn't shake off a feeling of inexplicable disappointment. It took her two whole years to adjust her mindset, only for Xie Zhiyan to return without a word.
Not only did he come back, but he also brought his wife to the army base, and they even had two children. They simply settled down to a life of family and warmth.
This is what so many people strive for their entire lives, and he achieved it so effortlessly.
Du Zhiwei's fists hardened.
Xie Zhiyan ignored Du Zhiwei's disdain and walked straight up to Old Master Du.
"Leader, I believe in Comrade Shuying's abilities. She is indeed the most outstanding woman I have ever met. However, I feel that we cannot so easily involve her in this matter. We have not yet found a clue in this matter, and we have not had time to learn from the lessons of our fallen comrades. If it were our comrades, they might still have a chance of survival when facing danger. But Comrade Shuying has not received any general training. At this time, it would be easy for the enemy to target her if she were to translate those documents."
Shu Ying's abilities are beyond doubt, but pushing her out at this moment is tantamount to giving the enemy a target.
All the firepower was drawn to Shu Ying, and the psychological pressure she endured and faced was unimaginable, something that Shu Ying should not have had to bear.
This is far too unfair to her.
The saying "the capable should do more" was indeed an opportunity for Shu Ying, but it also concealed a greater crisis.
He didn't want Shu Ying to be in any danger, and he certainly didn't want to use her as a target, so openly and blatantly in front of the enemy.
Division Commander Du and Brigade Commander Zeng exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat embarrassed.
They were so excited that they only thought about having someone ready to translate the documents that they forgot the danger this would put Shuying in.
Commander Du rubbed his hands nervously: "Xiao Xie, it's true that we didn't think things through and we didn't act ethically. But it's urgent, and we really have no other choice. Otherwise, you two should discuss it properly when your wife comes over. We'll treat it as asking her for help. If she's willing, she'll definitely be rewarded handsomely. If she's not willing, we won't say a word."
Xie Zhiyan considered the matter carefully, and after some thought, he simply nodded: "Of course I will respect her opinion."
In fact, he had considered this matter. Since Shu Ying understood the ins and outs of the matter and it concerned the greater good of the country, she would most likely not stand idly by.
In essence, it's impossible to determine who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but Brigade Commander Zeng smiled meaningfully: "I really didn't expect that Commander Xie would have such a tender and compassionate side. The soldiers all say that you are very cold during training, which is not humane. If they saw your heartfelt sincerity now, they would probably be shocked."
Xie Zhiyan was not annoyed by Brigade Commander Zeng's teasing.
He nodded slightly, acknowledging the assessment.
"It's all for the sake of my family, and I'm grateful that the leader understands."
Commander Zeng chuckled twice: "I understand, I understand. You're a young man. It's good that you have this idea. Only when your family is harmonious can you have no worries. It's also a sign of your growth."
Du Zhiwei scoffed, but was amused by Xie Zhiyan's remarks.
She crossed her arms and looked at him with utter disdain: "Xie Zhiyan, you don't think that just because the leader mentioned her, we can't do without her, do you? No matter how much you exaggerate her abilities, isn't she just a capitalist's daughter in the end? She'll always be an outsider in this company. You think she's in danger, but I think she's unreliable."
