When Ling Qingyu and Yang Qingyue met Gu Yi, the trio prepared to eat. Although it was already past lunchtime, their busy schedules had delayed them.
Gu Yi had been troubled and anxious since the mission began, but her excitement soared upon receiving the primary objectives of the operation.
As more people were airlifted to the hospital and the probability of successfully retrieving the entire hostage population increased, Gu Yi couldn't stop thinking for even a single moment.
She knew how many benefits she would gain once news of their success spread. She also realized she likely owed her future rise to Ling Qingyu.
Because of this, she had only snacked lightly to quell her hunger. When Ling Qingyu returned, the mood brightened, and only then did she finally have the time to relax.
For Ling Qingyu, it took a while for her combat mindset to dissipate. It only fully vanished when she hugged Yang Qingyue tightly. Meals taken outside could never compare to her home cooking.
