Her previous impression of Lin Chen had always been that he was strong, brave, decisive, perseverant, able to accept the pressure of all harsh environments, and gritted his teeth to survive. However, the economic situation was not optimistic.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in that look when the two met for the first time.
After getting in touch with Grandpa Zhao and the others, she realized how much pressure he was carrying on his shoulders and what kind of difficulties he faced.
This also made her admire him more and more.
Lin Chen took a deep breath.
Although he felt it was inappropriate, he wanted to have a drink after a long time at this time.
He pursed his lips, and finally calmed down, restrained himself, and picked up the teacup in front of him.
Compared with drinking and expressing one's feelings, in the game world, being able to protect the girl in front of you is the most important thing.
After the aroma of tea passed away, only bitterness seemed to be left on the tip of the tongue.
He put down the teacup and said slowly: "They are all the elders of my late brothers. I believe you can guess that my profession is very special. It is the kind of special forces that specializes in carrying out national secret missions..."
After Lin Chen was promoted to captain, he witnessed those young subordinates, those good brothers who fought bloody battles with him, sacrifice their young lives in order to complete their missions...
Behind every passing of a young, respectable life, there is a story that can be both uplifting and tragic.
Lin Chen was originally the kind of taciturn person who would only keep everything in his heart and bear it silently.
But on this day, while the Haidilao staff were serving dishes one after another, he told Gu Nian a lot.
"Do you know why I left the special forces?" He took a deep breath and told Gu Nian a sad story.
In the last operation he participated in, something went wrong somewhere. The enemy actually learned his personal information and captured his parents to blackmail him.
Although Lin Chen tried his best, he still only completed that mission and failed to save his parents...
Later, when Lin Chen shot a bullet in the heart, the frantic criminal pressed the button of the bomb remote control, causing Lin Chen's parents to be killed...
After completing that mission, scenes of various tragic deaths of his parents and brothers often appeared in Lin Chen's nightmares, causing him to suddenly wake up from his dreams, leaving him heartbroken and filled with self-blame.
He completed so many tasks brilliantly, but he was unable to save his closest relatives and brothers.
He felt so incompetent, so helpless...
Under such circumstances of increasing psychological burden, the staff of the relevant departments decided after some evaluation that he was not suitable to continue to assume the important task of captain, so he retired honorably.
After retiring, he spent more than a year in a state of confusion.
If he hadn't taken care of the parents and families of his brothers who went to heaven, even he himself didn't know what he would have become.
"It wasn't until half a year ago that a voice suddenly came to my mind," he said.
It was that voice that pulled him into the survival game and told him that salvation might be hidden in it...
"Later, I entered the game and met you again..."
After listening to Lin Chen's story, Gu Nian felt really sorry for him.
