Surprise!

The next few days, after Ling Qingyu told Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, the discussion spread to Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu.

The latter two showed complicated expressions upon hearing the news. They thought they had completely separated from their corrupt military past.

The honor and creed they upheld and were proud of seemed almost laughable when faced with injustice.

The only gains from the army were their discipline and powerful will—two important traits hard to find in normal civilian life.

Ling Qingyu and the others, who understood their inner turmoil, offered a few words of comfort.

Anyway, Xiao Yue suggested cooperating on the surface but not too deeply, like Yang Qingyue.

Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu agreed. They had no idea what General Tang was like, even if they trusted Gu Yi.
