"I understand," Xiao Yizhen nodded as he spoke; although he had no idea what Ling Xi was planning, he knew that all he could do was to cooperate with her.
"Thanks for the trouble, Chief Xiao," Ling Xi said to Xiao Yizhen with a polite nod.
"Captain Leng is too polite," Xiao Yizhen suddenly felt somewhat flattered and shocked; after all, even though Ling Xi's position was indeed lower than his, with the Leng Family supporting her, and the unwavering protection from the chief, she really didn't need to give him any face, or rather, even if she was willing to show him respect, he couldn't afford to accept it; this place was... Beijing!
