Yuan Hao left, and Zhang Ze looked at Ling Xi with a light smile, slightly sincere, "Captain Leng, thank you for taking care of me these past few days." Honestly, if Yun Country hadn't sent Ling Xi this time, he might have ended up beheaded. Despite their relationship being merely transactional, his gratitude towards her was ineffable.
Especially since what Ling Xi asked him to do was nothing more than some simple tasks he could easily handle.
"You needn't worry about it, I've said before, this is my mission, as well as my responsibility this time," she said. She wasn't a good person, but she was a... soldier! A soldier who would never bring shame to her family or country!
Looking at Ling Xi, pride filled the eyes of Leng Jianjun and Leng Minghui, as well as those of Ling Miaomiao and the others; even Hongmu, who originally had a strong dislike for Ling Xi, finally stopped giving her dirty looks.
Women, it seems, can indeed command respect.

Back in Ling Xi's room.
