"Thank you," Qiao Shouyan said.
Many female soldiers were discussing what had just happened, especially Leng Yingying's actions. They all felt that she was particularly powerful and that her reaction was so quick that they were ashamed of themselves.
Even Xiao Zhao couldn't help but praise Leng Yingying to Qiao Shouyan.
"Commander Qiao, this female soldier is indeed quite capable. Although she's a new recruit, her reaction time and problem-solving skills are much better than those of the average veteran. I estimate that she'll be very promising in the future..."
Qiao Shouyan only heard a whiff before his attention was quickly drawn to Leng Yingying's thoughts.
Leng Yingying ate her meal quietly, but she was thinking a lot in her mind.
Thankfully, I can still eat, otherwise I would have thrown a tantrum!
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
[Speaking of which, this mission takes three days. What if the female lead comes to my dorm to visit me during this time? Has she forgotten me again? Should I go find her when I get back?]
[But the female lead is pregnant. If I go to see her, will it cause her trouble? What if she finds it troublesome and dislikes me?]
[And the male lead... I transmigrated at the worst possible time, right when he was faking his death. I wonder if I'll even have a chance to see him again...]
[The female lead's whole family is incredibly handsome, so the male lead must be pretty good-looking too, right? I wonder, compared to his older brothers, who among the three is the most handsome?]
Qiao Shouyan: "...?"
suspended animation?
For a moment he was dazed, subconsciously thinking he had misheard.
What faked death? Lu Zhengjun faked her death? How is that possible?
Leng Yingying must be mistaken, it's impossible...
[Speaking of which, not only is the female lead love-struck, but the male lead isn't much better. These two love-struck fools have become a couple. If it weren't for the female lead's older brother, the male lead would never have agreed to carry out this undercover mission, let alone fake his death, making things so complicated!]
[Tsk tsk... I think the female lead's older brother isn't weak either. If he weren't so love-struck, why would the male lead have jumped in? I'm really fed up with these love-struck fools...]
Qiao Shouyan was stunned.
If it were just one mistake, it could be said that Leng Yingying was wrong, but she had thought about it so many times, it was impossible that she was wrong every time.
So, Lu Zhengjun didn't die; he faked his death while carrying out a mission?
So, Lu Zhengjun originally did not intend to take on this mission, but she agreed to take it because she did not want him to put himself in danger.
So, the thing that her younger siblings had kept from her was Lu Zhengjun's faked death?
In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flooded Qiao Shouyan's mind, leaving him overwhelmed with information!
But after realizing what had happened, I felt a mix of amusement and sadness, as well as a touch of emotion.
And of course, there's life!
Such a big matter, yet the second son and his two younger sisters kept their mouths shut, not uttering a single word from beginning to end.
If Leng Yingying hadn't unexpectedly joined the army, he and his mother would likely never have met her and learned about his feelings.
That's outrageous!
My parents probably still don't know about my faked death.
"Commander Qiao?" Xiao Zhao chattered on and on, but found that Qiao Shouyan did not respond at all, and even his chopsticks were suspended in mid-air. "Commander Qiao, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh?" Qiao Shouyan snapped out of his daze and quickly concealed his expression. "It's nothing, it's just that the food in their cafeteria is pretty ordinary."
"Huh? Oh, oh! It's pretty average, but the food in the canteen is just so-so," Xiao Zhao chimed in, thinking to himself that something was off about Commander Qiao.
But Xiao Zhao didn't dare to ask too many questions, wondering if he had been too noisy and disturbed Commander Qiao.
He simply shut up, ate his food quietly, and said no more.
Qiao Shouyan was not at peace. Hearing that his brother-in-law had faked his death—and that he had accepted the mission for his own sake—he was deeply disturbed. He didn't even notice what Leng Yingying was thinking afterward; his mind was only occupied with this one thing.
So, is Lu Zhengjun still alive?
Since he needed to fake his death, and the military had mastered the technology of human skin masks, it means that he has now changed his appearance and is a different person.
I wonder how his mission is going, and whether it's going smoothly?
When he thought Lu Zhengjun had really sacrificed herself, he felt sadness, regret, and all sorts of emotions. But now that he knows Lu Zhengjun is still alive, he is not relieved at all; in fact, he is even more worried...
However, Qiao Shouyan believed that no matter how difficult the mission was or how dangerous Lu Zhengjun's situation was, he would overcome all difficulties and strive to complete the mission and return safely. Even if it was for Su Yueya, Lu Zhengjun would definitely persevere!
Given Lu Zhengjun's abilities, Qiao Shouyan believed he could definitely do it!
On the other hand, after Mo Cheng proposed to hold a promotion meeting, he obtained the consent of the two attending division commanders and pushed for the meeting to be held immediately.
According to the normal procedure, the first step is to elect a candidate to succeed Lu Zhengjun as the head of the delegation, followed by the selection of the deputy head.
Both promotions were extremely ordinary and uneventful, with the two most popular active-duty soldiers being selected, and everyone else, even those who were not selected, offered their blessings.
Next came the promotion of battalion commanders, and all deputy battalion commanders were eligible to participate.
However, due to the large number of deputy battalion commanders, a preliminary screening was conducted first, and the top eight candidates with the highest number of votes continued to run for the position.
"Now we announce the final candidates. Please come up to the stage one by one as your names are called: Duan Mingzhi, Lin Sijun, Wang Dachuan, Zhang... Liu Dekai."
Although he was the last to be called, Liu Dekai stood up as soon as he heard his name called and immediately straightened his military uniform and hat—he thought that when he was promoted, he would be able to greet this important moment with his best appearance and demeanor.
This time, my father-in-law has made all the arrangements in advance, so there won't be any problems!
Liu Yuying looked at Liu Dekai, who was standing at the very end of the stage. Although she tried to control her expression, she couldn't hide her excitement at all... It was definitely not a coincidence that her eldest son was on a mission!
Her eyes swept over the group of candidates standing on the stage, mentally assessing who was more suitable for this opportunity.
If there really isn't anyone more suitable than Liu Dekai, then Liu Yuying won't let personal grudges cloud her judgment and will make a fair and just choice. But if there is someone better than Liu Dekai, she will absolutely not let Mo Cheng's plan succeed!
When Liu Yuying's gaze fell on a certain person, she nodded, as if she had made a judgment.
"Voting will now begin. Our first candidate is Duan Mingzhi. Those who support him, please raise your hands—"
Hands were raised, votes were counted, and as each candidate's votes were tallied, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, with everyone staring intently at the number...
"The second candidate is Lin Sijun—"
"The third candidate is Wang Dachuan—"
The votes for the top candidates were few and scattered, making it clear that their chances of winning were slim.
