"The Southern Border, what could possibly go wrong there."
"Fire Bro, I..."
"Huh?! You have something else to say?"
Lian Qiao glanced at his stern face and, after a long hesitation, still bit her lip and said, "I'm fine, it's just that, well, Team Leader Xie... he won't be in any trouble, will he?"
Tucking the file under his arm, Mr. Xing strode over and, with his other hand, enveloped her into his embrace. He then looked down and gently consoled her in a soft voice, softening his sharp demeanor by a notch.
"Don't make wild guesses. What kind of trouble could he be in? Everything went smoothly with this mission; I'll tell you all about it when I get back tomorrow!"
Tomorrow's dawn would mean it was pretty much over, and there wouldn't be anything bad left to say!
Seeing this, Lian Qiao grew suspicious and couldn't help but look up at him, "...What are you doing? It's so late, why are you still going out?"
