Ding Haijing watched the light in her room go out, his eyes slightly dimmed, and he went into the living room and lay down on the sofa.

Early the next morning, Commander Cui was full of anger.

"What’s going on? Speak up."

"The message from over at Ke Ku Li is saying that our people are unwilling to cooperate, picking only the tasks they like to do, and avoiding the dangerous ones."

A certain Deputy Alliance Officer sitting opposite him said, "Of course, their words still sound good, saying that our sending troops over is the greatest support for them. They also hope that our Supervisor Guards can be on their land without losing a single person or hurting a single soldier, but in reality, it’s just as I said."

"Why would our people be unwilling to cooperate? Are our Supervisor Guards the kind to only pick places without danger to hide and cower like cowards? Our Supervisor Guards are all brave soldiers unafraid of sacrifice and danger!"

Commander Cui slammed the table.

"Aren’t they?" The certain Deputy Alliance Officer nodded, "That’s what I said too."

"Then why did such words come back?"

The certain Deputy Alliance Officer hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don’t we have a group of Eight Elites over there? It’s said that one of them has a bit of personal heroism, doesn’t obey orders from above, and even wants to call back home to question us."

"Nonsense!" Commander Cui’s face was filled with anger, "Who?"

"Meng Xinian."

Meng Xinian?

Commander Cui was stunned.

Then he became even more furious.

The brat from the Meng Family.

The same one whose fiancée went to find his wife last time.

Why can’t he stay put even when he’s abroad?

He asked in a deep voice, "Does this Great Officer Meng want to come back?"

There’s still a month and a half left, is it that he can’t wait to return?

So, he’s playing tricks?

The certain Deputy Alliance Officer said, "I haven’t heard him mention wanting to come back."

"Then what does he mean? Go, personally make a call, and find out what’s really going on," Commander Cui said in a low voice, "This brat is messing around outside, and when the time comes for him to return to the country, I’ll personally skin him alive!"

"Shall I make the call and discuss it?"

"Discuss?" Commander Cui shot a glance over, "Not discuss! Investigate! Find out exactly what happened. Can you be sure he’s truly messing around just by sitting here halfway across the world?"

Cold sweat instantly dripped down the back of the certain Deputy Alliance Officer.

Commander Cui isn’t easy to fool.

"Yes."

Jiang Xiao had a very restful night’s sleep.

So, when Ding Haijing got up, he found she had already gotten up early and completed a set of exercises.

Dressed in white sportswear and sporting a high ponytail, Jiang Xiao looked full of youthful vigor.

Moreover, there was a hint of heroism in her brows, definitely not the frail, easily tearful little girl type.

"Morning, Old Ding!"

Seeing him come out, she gave him a vibrant smile.

"Are you getting addicted to calling me Old Ding?"

"It’s pretty good, rolls off the tongue nicely."

Jiang Xiao finished her routine and said, "You guys have a day off today; I’ll go out by myself."

Now that there’s no threat, she’s not afraid of other threats either, and can handle them herself, so Jiang Xiao decided to give Ding Haijing and the others a day off.

Besides, Guan Tiezhu and the others are still injured.

Ding Haijing raised an eyebrow, "Why do I feel like I’m no longer needed? I say, Miss Jiang, Boss Jiang, Student Jiang, you’re not thinking of dismissing us, are you?"

Jiang Xiao’s face darkened.
