Seeing the two women's faces change, Luo Ziling was completely unbothered.

"If I have to worry about something like this, then it's not my father's responsibility." Luo Ziling looked disdainful, "After all, he's been in the special forces for so many years and has had positions in several places. If he can't handle people like you, it's his own problem, not mine."

Seeing Phoenix about to lose her temper, Lin Lan quickly stepped in: "Ziling, don't be stubborn, can we talk about this properly?"

"These matters really don't need to be discussed with me. If you want to talk, speak directly to my dad, if he actually takes the position one day. I think he's already gathered a lot of information about the situation here, and if he wants to know more, he'll ask you." Luo Ziling replied seriously, "Besides, I have very little contact with my father, almost none. I'm only an unofficial member of Dragon Rise, so these issues aren't suitable for me to know. If that's what you want to talk to me about, forget it."

"Alright then," Phoenix suppressed her anger but still solemnly reminded, "I hope he's mentally prepared."

"With you guys here, as long as you're not locking horns with him, the situation shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Phoenix hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I might have to leave."

"Why?" Luo Ziling was shocked.

Phoenix just looked momentarily disappointed but quickly returned to a normal expression: "No reason, as a soldier, obeying orders is my duty."

Luo Ziling's curiosity was piqued, so he asked again, "What's the reason? Are you unsuitable for the position? Or are you getting promoted?"

"No comment." Phoenix didn't really want to engage with Luo Ziling.

"Maybe I can help you," Luo Ziling suggested with a meaningful smile, then immediately frowned, "Why didn't your superior say anything earlier?"

"Why would he tell you that?" Phoenix turned and prepared to leave, "Since you don't want to hear about Dragon Rise, stop asking so many questions."

"If you want to stay, I'll do my best to help you." Luo Ziling called out to Phoenix's retreating back.

Luo Ziling realized that what Phoenix wanted to talk about today was primarily this.

Phoenix indeed wanted his help.

However, this woman's emotional intelligence was too low; she acted as if someone owed her millions while asking for help.

Lin Lan grabbed the departing Phoenix, then whispered to Luo Ziling, "Didn't you promise to help the captain with treatment? She's been in a poor mental state lately. How about doing it here, either providing treatment or some kind of therapy? Anyway, we don't have any pressing matter today!"

Then, she immediately pleaded with Luo Ziling, "Ziling, please help treat our captain!"

"Alright," Luo Ziling didn't put up any airs and nodded in agreement, "but I can't use my energy for treatment currently, only perform some massages."

He said this as he walked up to Phoenix, smiling, "Let me take your pulse and check other aspects. I'll give you a massage and then prescribe some restorative medicine for you. I'll prepare the medicine and bring it to you later, or you can come over and get it. Your health is your greatest asset, no matter what job you have, your body is the most important."

Phoenix glared at Luo Ziling but eventually did not refuse.

After they entered Lin Lan's bedroom, and Lin Lan helped Phoenix make up the bed, she sensibly stepped out.

After Luo Ziling finished the examination for Phoenix, he informed her about the findings.

There were no conditions requiring mandatory treatment, just a deficiency in energy and blood, which made her look pale and needed nourishment.

"I'll massage a few key acupoints for you," Luo Ziling suggested, "Have a good sleep, and your mental state should improve by tomorrow. In a few days, I'll bring medicine for you, or you can come to get it. Ideally, you'd undergo acupuncture, but for now, my grandpa can help with that, or you can wait a few months for me to recover and find me then."

"Then just massage me for now," Phoenix was quite straightforward.

Luo Ziling nodded and asked Phoenix to take off her outer clothes.

Phoenix complied without hesitation and removed her outer clothing.

Once undressed, she straightforwardly brought up an issue: "During my last check-up, the doctor said I have breast hyperplasia. Can you treat it?"

"That's because your body's functions are out of balance," during the earlier examination, Luo Ziling had noticed many issues with Phoenix, so he wasn't surprised by her comment. "If balanced, your body's overall functions can recover."

"Do you need to check it?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage?"

Phoenix didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Luo Ziling.

"Next time then," Luo Ziling was a bit embarrassed, "Once I'm recovered, I'll directly treat you. Rest assured, with me around, no illness is untreatable. Breast nodules generally aren't serious; even if they change, there's time to treat them."

After saying that, he chuckled, "Actually, leaving Dragon Rise might be good for you. At least you don't have to push yourself so hard; your body can recuperate."

"If the organization wants me to leave, then I'll leave. If they want me to stay, I'll continue fulfilling my duties here."

"I'll have a word about it," Luo Ziling smiled again, "Even though you like acting cool, you're still a good woman—dedicated and responsible, plus you're pretty and have a good figure."

Seeing a hint of anger on Phoenix's face, Luo Ziling didn't mind and motioned for her to lie down so he could give her a massage.

Even though the areas he massaged for Phoenix involved private areas, Luo Ziling had no ulterior motives and massaged seriously.

After a while of massaging, Phoenix fell asleep.

When Luo Ziling exited the room, Lin Lan was outside looking at her phone, and when she saw him come out, she immediately stood up.

"The captain's been in a poor mental state recently. Do you think it's an issue?" Lin Lan asked softly.

"There are quite a few problems, likely residual issues from injuries and not resting well," Luo Ziling didn't hide it from Lin Lan, "Her energy and blood levels were worse than normal. She mentioned having a breast nodule, which might have a chance of becoming malignant."

"Did you check her?" Lin Lan was a bit surprised.

"No," Luo Ziling shook his head, "It's inconvenient, she might kill me. I'll give her a thorough checkup and treatment once I'm back to normal. Even if it turns, as long as it's early, it's completely manageable."

At this point, Luo Ziling sighed and earnestly reminded Lin Lan, "Among you, gender doesn't seem to matter in the special forces, but due to differences in body structure, gender really makes a big difference. If women don't pay attention to their physiology, it will definitely leave hidden health issues. Frequent injuries will also harm bodily functions. I'm not trying to scare you, but if it continues like this, even if you don't die from an accident, your lifespans will definitely be shorter than normal."

"There's no choice," Lin Lan smiled bitterly.

"Sigh, I'll help you all recuperate," Luo Ziling sighed again, "I guess it's just my nature to be benevolent!"

This remark earned him a side-eye from Lin Lan.
