"Who is...?" Major Xiang Wai looked at the door in anger to see who dared to disturb her in the middle of this but couldn't continue when she looked at the person who stood at the door. "You? What are you doing here?"
The person who had co inside was Zhai Yanjun and he didn't even spare a glance at Xiang Wai as his eyes were stuck on Raelle. Seeing that she looked alright, he visibly relaxed and walked over to ask, "You okay?"
Raelle nodded her head in response, "Could have been better but no complaints about now."
Zhai Yanjun smiled at how easygoing she was even in this situation. He shook his head at her as he said, "Give a minute. I'll take you out of here."
Xiang Wai's fists clenched tightly as she stared at Zhai Yanjun who was still ignoring her presence blatantly. And then her eyes shifted to Raelle and narrowed dangerously as she wondered who she was for Zhai Yanjun to ignore her like this for Raelle!
Zhai Yanjun finally looked at Xiang Wai and said, "Major Xiang, aren't you overreaching your authority?"
Xiang Wai took a deep breath to not let her emotions interfere with her work as always as she answered, "Captain Zhai, I'm just doing my duty. This mission belongs to our squad. It has nothing to do with your unit. Please, leave and let us do our duty."
"But you can't just bring in innocent people," argued Zhai Yanjun.
"And how would we know they are innocent without investigating?" retorted Xiang Wai. "First, we have to cast a bigger net to catch all the fish. Just in case that we don't let soone slip by."
"Are you gonna let her stay here until you've caught the real culprit?"
"Yes," was Xiang Wai's response.
"Let see how you do that," said Zhai Yanjun as he turned to leave. Since he couldn't interfere with her squad, he'd find soone who could do it!
Xiang Wai took a deep breath before she sat down and faced Raelle. It was strange but it seed like Raelle could easily read her face as she remarked, "You just pissed off your ex-boyfriend."
Xiang Wai's eyes widened when she heard that. "How do you know that he is my ex-boyfriend?"
"Guess it," answered Raelle blankly.
Before Xiang Wai could ask anything else, once again the door was opened a mber of her team ca to inform, "Major, it's a call from the Major General Kang and he ordered for us to let her go."
"What?" Xiang Wai was seriously speechless when she heard that. But it didn't end just there since, in the next five minutes, their squad received three calls from high-ranked military officials and one call from a Minister! And all the calls were for Raelle. Xiang Wai looked at Raelle and asked, "Just who the hell are you? You're quite popular, I must say."
"I've always been popular," Raelle didn't think she was supposed to be humble or that Xiang Wai was being sarcastic. Either way, she just stated a fact. She was indeed quite popular. One couldn't possibly deny that.
"You can leave now," said Xiang Wai through gritted teeth. Even if she wanted to stop Raelle, she couldn't do so in this situation. She couldn't go against her superiors.
Raelle fixed the sleeves of her blazer as she looked at Xiang Wai and said, "Didn't you just ask who I am? I am Raelle Xiang. Nice to et you, Major Xiang Wai!"
And with that, she walked out of there with her head held high without paying attention to Xiang Wai's mood or expressions.
Xiang Wai had a complicated look on her face as she repeated Raelle's na again and again. Even if she had never t her sister, she had heard her na at the very least. At first, she didn't connect Raelle's na with her mory but once she said her full na, she'd be an idiot to not connect it all.
It gave her an even worse feeling when she realized that it looked like Raelle knew her identity from the mont she saw her. Only she was oblivious.
Captain Teng walked over to her side and said, "Didn't I tell you she is giving bad vibes? Major General Kang didn't sound good over the phone. There is a high possibility our squad is gonna get in trouble for this. I wonder why is she so important?"
"Major, do you know who she is?" asked another person. "She is one of the richest won in the world! Raelle Xiang! Chairperson of the Xiang Conglorate! She is a living legend in the corporate world!"
Captain Teng sighed out, "Heaven is unfair. Really unfair. She is beautiful, smart, and even super-rich. Makes one really envious."
"Heaven is still fair," said Dr. Wei who had co here on the whim.
"What do you an doctor?" asked Xiang Wai.
"If I'm not wrong, Major, sothing is wrong with that girl," answered Dr. Wei.
"She seed pretty normal to ," said Captain Teng.
"Tengteng, not everything normal looking is actually normal," said Dr. Wei.
Xiang Wai didn't pay attention to what else they said as her mind replayed Dr. Wei's words again and again. She pulled him aside and asked, "What exactly do you think is wrong? Is it serious?"
Dr. Wei was surprised that this nonchalant Major was actually so serious about this. "It's so kind of ntal disorder but I don't think it's that serious. Not anymore. She looks like a strong person who is able to overshadow her flaws which ans she is coping well."
"ntal disorder?" repeated Xiang Wai to herself. "But Ge and I turned out to be completely fine," she mumbled to herself.
Dr. Wei patted her shoulder and said, "You should worry about yourself for now. It seems you're gonna be in trouble."
Xiang Wai waved her hand offhandedly, "I have always loved troubles.. There is no trouble I can't get through."
