The assistant nodded to indicate understanding, then swiftly left the room to carry out the commands.
Jiang Yuzhu gazed at Pei Jingchuan's retreating figure, a hint of fear welling up within her heart.
Pei Jingchuan was usually calm and composed. However, at this moment he exuded a sense of decisive coldness that instilled fear.
A hint of bewildered worry flickered across her eyes, unsure of how to handle this side of Pei Jingchuan.
Feeling Jiang Yuzhu's gaze, Pei Jingchuan turned around and his eyes softened slightly.
He approached Jiang Yuzhu, gently patted her head, attempting to soothe her emotions through this simple gesture.
His voice was deep yet gentle, "Yuzhu, don't worry, everything will be fine. I just want to uncover the truth and protect our own people."
Jiang Yuzhu looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with complex emotions. She softly said, "I know, Jingchuan. It's just...I'm worried."
