Didn't Recognize Her

Upon hearing these words, Hu Jie felt a sense of relief wash over her. Yes, Su Shen must have been momentarily confused to act so thoughtlessly.

She then took a moment to properly examine her subordinate, her gaze cold and aloof. She spoke again, her tone laced with her usual condescension, "Officer Zhao, how long have you been with me?"

The young female soldier saluted respectfully, "Reporting to Deputy Commander Hu, I have been with you for over three months since you decided to transfer to Guangcheng. I am aware that I still have much to learn and improve. I will strive to do better in every task in the future."

Hu Jie felt a hint of satisfaction towards this new security officer. Her voice was cool and soothing as she said, "You don't need to be too nervous. You're still young and have plenty of opportunities. As long as you remember one thing while following me - that everything is done according to my will - you won't make any major mistakes."
