Seeing her capable subordinates, Liu Junyi's demeanor shifted from the affectionate behavior she displayed in front of Ye Fei to her usual stern and composed self. She nodded and said, "Captain Li, congratulations on your recovery. You've all worked hard in my absence. Is everything going well?"
"Same old, same old. We can eat and sleep, but there's no real progress," Zhang Qiang joked. "Now, Li Yun here has managed to become the top guy after you."
"Top guy? It's all thanks to Ye Fei. I'm just reaping the benefits," Li Yun replied modestly. "Captain, let's head inside. Generals Zhou and Xu are waiting for us."
Ye Fei knew that the Xu Commander Li Yun referred to was Xu Ran, the highest-ranking officer in the Wang Hai City Military District.
Like his aunt, Xu Ran was a lieutenant general. With General Zhou Shichang, one of the top three figures in the Longguo military, coming down for an inspection, Xu Ran naturally had to accompany him the whole way.
