Knowing that Jiang Yunzhou was the mastermind behind all of this, Xie Zhiyan's disgust for him deepened even further.
No wonder he didn't like this person from the beginning. At first, there might have been some jealousy involved, but now he felt that this person really had no sense of propriety.
He lacks the ability to solve problems and only pushes Shu Ying forward first when trouble arises. Regardless of Jiang Yunzhou's original intentions, it is undeniable that he is causing trouble for Shu Ying now.
They hadn't been reunited for long when they watched helplessly as Shu Ying stepped into another danger. This feeling of being out of control was terrible for Xie Zhiyan.
He disliked fighting unprepared battles, and unbeknownst to him, Shuying and the children had long since become his Achilles' heel.
All he wanted was peace and tranquility at home, but now even that simple wish has become a luxury.
Brigade Commander Zeng patted Xie Zhiyan on the shoulder, understanding his worries.
"You know Xiao Du's temper. She's straightforward and doesn't have any ulterior motives. She might say something offensive, but don't take it to heart. Right now, the most important thing is to put the country first."
Xie Zhiyan simply nodded, withdrew his gaze, and only gave Du Zhiwei a fleeting glance.
With just one glance, the two instantly distanced themselves.
Although they weren't particularly close since childhood, they had known each other since they were young, and his unfamiliar aura made Du Zhiwei feel even more uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to defend herself, saying that translation is not something anyone can do, and that they were willing to give Shu Ying this opportunity entirely because someone recommended her.
But ultimately, entrusting such a confidential matter to an outsider also carries a significant risk for the organization.
She couldn't understand why Xie Zhiyan, who always prioritized the big picture, was behaving so strangely today.
But when she met Xie Zhiyan's gaze, the complaints that were already on the tip of her tongue just wouldn't come out.
She had never seen Xie Zhiyan like this before, so meticulous yet hesitant, as if the person who used to be fearless and without any worries was not him at all.
Perhaps it was because of the comparison that Du Zhiwei realized for the first time that she may have never really understood Xie Zhiyan.
The side she truly saw was too superficial and one-sided. Thinking that she had been so frightened by his single glance that she dared not speak, Du Zhiwei felt even more aggrieved.
She snorted, but her tone was no longer as arrogant: "What's there to be fierce about? I haven't said anything yet. If it weren't for the need to decipher the documents as soon as possible, I wouldn't even know there was such a person. I don't know what their abilities are. It's normal to raise questions before I've seen it for myself, isn't it?"
Back when she first arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she also faced a lot of pressure. Distrust and doubt came from all sides, but she was aware of other people's concerns.
If there are dissenting voices, one can use their abilities to silence the critics, so why rush to refute and prove oneself?
Xie Zhiyan wouldn't want to argue with someone who doesn't know Shu Ying. When the pain isn't felt by oneself, others can't understand it.
Seeing that Xie Zhiyan had no intention of paying attention to her, Du Zhiwei sat down on the chair next to him and also withdrew her gaze.
She had never met Shu Ying, so she naturally didn't know what kind of legendary figure she was. She had only heard about her from others, and it seemed that she was a pampered capitalist's daughter.
Although the information was all hearsay, she never had much goodwill towards such a decorative person.
There are countless beautiful girls in the world, but no one can make a living just by having a pretty face.
Moreover, I heard that Xie Zhiyan went to the front line not long after getting married. At first, there were rumors that the two of them had no feelings for each other and had not seen each other much over the years. How come they suddenly fell in love like this now?
