Zhou Yishang's gaze shifted from the letter to Ji Xinghuo's face, then back to the letter in his hand, as though confirming he hadn't read it wrong.
He repeated this action several times, unable to suppress the disbelief in his eyes.
There was also shock, mingled with bewilderment.
The swordsmen had never seen such an expression on Director Zhou's face; his hand holding the letter even trembled slightly, changing from one hand to both hands.
After a moment of silence.
Zhou Yishang took a deep breath, carefully folded the letter, and treasured it away.
"Xinghuo."
"Come to my office for a talk."
He called out affectionately, a smile spreading across his usually stern face, astonishing the swordsmen present. They were incredibly curious about what the letter contained to make Zhou, known as "Iron Face," soften his usual demeanor toward Ji Xinghuo.
Ji Xinghuo was also surprised; was Sister Ren's letter this powerful?
