Chapter 1504 First Class Merit

Chapter 1504 First-Class Merit

What Chu Xue didn't know was that this time, if she hadn't discovered the woman's clues and become suspicious, it would have been a huge disaster.

Moreover, if Fu Yancheng hesitates even slightly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This operation was extremely dangerous. The enemy agents actually tried to sabotage the unit's radar station, while another team would simultaneously destroy a power plant not far from the unit. If successful, one-third of the city would be without power for a short period of time.

Those people will then carry out even more horrific acts of destruction.

Fortunately, the military, public security, and local joint defense forces worked together very well.

However, those people were all desperate criminals, and because they were armed, the capture process was not smooth. Although they were all captured, our side also suffered casualties.

Fu Yancheng did not mention these matters involving military affairs to Chu Xue.

A dozen days later, the military auditorium was packed to capacity.

Fu Yancheng not only commanded and led his comrades to seize a large amount of intelligence and weapons, but also deciphered the enemy's secret service organization's mechanism for hiding funds and seized a large amount of gold.

Most importantly, he personally captured a leader of enemy agents and a nationally wanted criminal by the Ministry of Public Security, earning him a first-class merit award both individually and collectively.

Some of the other comrades who went on the mission with me received second-class merit awards, while others received third-class merit awards. However, none of us were particularly happy to receive the medals.

Because of this mission, a total of three comrades were killed and seven were injured, and two of them are likely to never recover. They will not only have to be demobilized, but also face lifelong disability.

Chu Xue, heavily pregnant, didn't sit in the front row. After entering the auditorium, she sat in the last row. Even from that distance, Fu Yancheng accurately found her in the crowd, and the couple looked at each other across the distance.

Chu Xue didn't see joy on his face, but instead understood the sadness in his deep eyes.

When Fu Yancheng got home that evening, he was silent for a while, and then hesitated several times before speaking.

After dinner, Chu Xue couldn't stand it anymore: "What's wrong that's making it so hard for you to say?" Fu Yancheng looked at Chu Xue: "The bonus for the last mission came in, it's six hundred yuan."

Chu Xue feigned happiness and said, "This is a good thing, why do you look unhappy?"

Fu Yancheng looked up at Chu Xue's eyes and said, "During the last mission, one of my comrades went blind in his optic nerve. After more than a month of treatment, the military hospital said there was no possibility of a full recovery."

Chu Xue frowned slightly: "So, what's the situation now after the treatment?"

Fu Yancheng sighed softly: "He can feel the light, but he still can't see things clearly. He's going through the transfer process, but with his condition, it'll be difficult to even find him a job once he gets to his new place."

Chu Xue looked at him and asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

Fu Yancheng coughed lightly and said, "Wife, Lu Dayong's family is in the countryside of northern Shaanxi. He is the fourth child in his family. He has an older sister and two older brothers who are married, but he also has six younger brothers and sisters-in-law."

Hearing him say that, Chu Xue couldn't help but gasp inwardly: "My parents are really good at having children, with ten in total."

Fu Yancheng nodded slightly: "Life is pretty hard there. I heard they have to fetch water from a place several miles away."

Chu Xue stared into Fu Yancheng's eyes: "Just tell me straight, what do you want to do?"

Fu Yancheng took a deep breath: "I heard him mention before that because there are many children in the family, he, as the fourth child, is somewhat neglected, and given his current situation..."

Chu Xue lost her patience: "Get to the point."
