Director Qian has been paying close attention to Su Chaoyang's health these days and held off mentioning this so as not to upset him prematurely, which could potentially hinder his recovery.
However, this fact would eventually have to be disclosed. He believed that as a Special Ops soldier, Su Chaoyang wouldn't be excessively sensitive, and so he chose to deliver the news today to give him some mental preparation.
Though the news wasn't a bolt from the blue for Su Chaoyang, it still dealt him a blow.
Since joining the Special Forces, he had never contemplated leaving this cohort, or stripping off the "TZ" armband that signifies the highest honor of a soldier. Learning this news abruptly, even though he was mentally tough, he still found it hard to take the hit.
Mu Xiangwan also noticed his abnormal behavior. When she spoke with him, he seemed lost, his face etched with disappointment and loneliness.
