Ji Xinghe received Ivanovic's communication request after he knew what kind of attitude Ivanovic expressed towards the Federation Equipment Department and the Military Police Department.
Honestly, Ji Xinghe was somewhat displeased, yet somewhat pleased.
The displeasure stemmed from the original plan where the snakehead was to be severed, only to become a mediator, a sort of making big issues smaller and small issues disappear, making Ji Xinghe's fierce punch feel as if it landed on cotton.
The reason for his pleasure was quite simple, Ivanovic was striving to fulfill his role, just like Ji Xinghe was currently fulfilling his own role.
They are both soldiers, their goal is singular—victory!
