"Do you think, Ji You, that without sacrificing you, I can't win this war?"
She used a rhetorical question, but from her expression to her choice of words, she exuded enormous confidence.
Gu Peiyuan was genuinely taken aback.
By Ji You's confidence, and by Ji You's charisma.
Previously, Gu Peiyuan would've scoffed upon hearing such words, yet now, he had no doubt about Ji You.
This subtle change in mindset was what shocked Gu Peiyuan the most.
Had he truly come to completely believe in her?
This feeling...
Didn't seem as dreadful as before.
Gu Peiyuan said: "Don't worry, with such a simple task, how could I fail?"
He had his own pride too!
This position as Commander of the 5th Battalion was not obtained by mere luck, Gu Peiyuan assured himself.
After speaking, Gu Peiyuan was ready to leave.
Ji You raised her hand, signaling him to wait, then turned to He Nu beside her and said: "He Nu, you and Cheng Haoyue, along with Wang Xin's squad, follow Gu Peiyuan to depart."
