Hearing Qin Lian's self-righteous speech, An Chen was momentarily at a loss for words. After a pause, he chose not to continue the argument with her.
As an officer, as a platoon leader, An Chen subconsciously wanted to make things clear to Qin Lian—you wear this uniform, you must do what befits a soldier, regardless of the purpose, whether it concerns the nation or the people.
When fighting side by side with your comrades, that person is your battle buddy, and trusting them is a fundamental concept.
Even though this requires time.
But suspicion must be avoided as much as possible.
For instance, Mo Shangjun went to rest early. Such an obvious intention would not be doubted unless one harbored malicious suspicions about her.
An Chen didn't want to keep arguing with Qin Lian because she indeed wasn't one of his soldiers, and also, Qin Lian was extremely stubborn. Apart from persuading by herself and a few others she acknowledged, her mind was not easily changed.
Not far away.
