He performed any mission exceptionally well, earning numerous merits and being promoted to major at the age of twenty-five.
However, he didn't communicate with others and was arrogant, which made the special forces soldiers resentful. They thought he got the job through connections and that's why he was favored by his superiors.
The army is a mixed bag, with all sorts of people, and they would inevitably play pranks on him, hiding mice in his blankets or giving him spoiled food.
He avoids making enemies, so he repeatedly shows leniency.
But the soldiers thought he was easy to bully, so they became even more aggressive. While he was taking a shower, they gathered more than a dozen people to surround Lu Chi and wanted to beat him up.
Lu Chi was no pushover; he was just too lazy to argue with people, but he was a formidable fighter, taking down more than a dozen burly men in five minutes.
When this matter reached the higher-ups, coupled with Lu Chi's overly indifferent attitude and the fact that some people disliked him, the higher-ups assumed he was deliberately causing trouble and punished him.
He was demoted, and many people mocked him, saying that a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, and no one took him seriously.
On one mission, he was rescuing refugees when he was tricked, causing a bomb to explode prematurely. The refugees he was rescuing died, and he himself was seriously injured.
He lay in the hospital for more than half a year, during which no one cared about him and he was all alone, which was a very dark time for him.
After being discharged from the hospital, soldiers came and handcuffed him, sent him to the unit for punishment, and he almost got locked up in jail.
It was Fu Ziyi who saved him at the crucial moment, pulling him out of the chaos.
After that, he worked for Fu Ziyi to recover from his injuries.
But he couldn't untangle his inner knot, and became even more indifferent and ruthless, like a walking corpse, doing tasks but without any feelings of friendship.
Those brutal experiences made him become distant from others.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Chi's personality is not innate, but rather developed later in life.
Those who envy him lack ability but try to make others like them.
That's disgusting.
Tang Yaoyao knew about his past, so she could understand him.
Who doesn't have a tragic past?
Lu Chi was very vigilant, examining his surroundings with his instruments, his brows furrowed, his composed face appearing cold.
Tang Yaoyao asked, "What is this?"
Lu Chi replied, "A heat tracker. The temperature on Rongshan Mountain is low, so this device can sense any signs of life."
"You didn't invent this yourself, did you?" Tang Yaoyao asked casually.
"Um."
Lu Chi was nonchalant, as if designing an invention was unimportant, perhaps simple for him.
Tang Yaoyao seemed a bit dim-witted as she looked at his backpack: "What else do you have in here?"
Lu Chi casually rattled off a string of technical terms, which was practically the same as not asking at all, since she wasn't involved in inventions and had never been trained in the military.
As human beings, we must accept our shortcomings in some aspects.
Tang Yaoyao smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Lu, you're awesome."
"..." Lu Chi was stunned, pursed his lips, and did not answer.
Jiang Ci asked with concern, "Miss, the temperature is dropping on the mountain. Are you cold? I have some warm clothes here."
"No need, you keep one for your brothers so they don't catch a cold. I'm not cold." Tang Yaoyao's bulletproof vest was quite warm, much better than she had imagined.
Seeing this, Jiang Ci nodded and distributed the clothes that could be taken out.
The search is a huge and physically demanding task, so they must first protect their own bodies.
Tang Yaoyao walked with Lu Chi, who instructed her, "Miss Tang, stay behind me. The terrain here is complicated, and it's easy to get lost."
