Hiss...

A group of people were instantly dumbstruck.

"Crazy woman!" Several people cursed aloud.

"Bastards, you bunch of assholes!" Miss Lan cursed out loud.

"Haha..." In the carriage, everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very lively, and everyone laughed unrestrainedly. At this point, Huang Hui spoke up, "Lin Chuan, I haven't properly thanked you yet for the trip to Afghanistan."

"You're welcome." Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "We are all good brothers; it's what we should do."

"Lin Chuan, the General is waiting for you at the military camp," Miss Lan said with a smile.

"Waiting for me? For what?" Lin Chuan turned his head to look at Miss Lan.

"They've prepared a return-to-unit ceremony for you," Miss Lan chuckled and said, "You'll see when you get there."

"Really?" Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why suddenly hold a return-to-unit ceremony?"

"How would I know?" Miss Lan shook her head.

After driving along an asphalt road and directly passing through Miyun Mountain along the ring road, then through a valley and past two checkpoints, they finally reached the military camp.

This is a critical military site in Beijing, where thousands of Iron Wolf Lions are stationed, constantly safeguarding the security of Beijing, preventing anyone from threatening the peace of Beijing. After passing through the security check smoothly, the car entered the camp.

On that vast parade ground, thousands of officers and soldiers had already gathered. Neatly aligned, everyone stood under the scorching sun, all waiting for the return of one person; this person was Lin Chuan, their War God in their hearts.

The car stopped on the parade ground. The door opened. Lin Chuan jumped out of the car.

More than three thousand officers and soldiers stood neatly aligned, everyone's gaze was firm, their figures upright.

In front of the platform, the General and a group of generals of the republic were all waiting for Lin Chuan's return. The return-to-unit ceremony all of a sudden seemed very grand and somewhat exaggerated. Lin Chuan was somewhat dumbstruck; this was more like an awarding ceremony than a return-to-unit ceremony.

Lin Chuan was slightly startled.

"Lin Chuan, what are you hesitating for?" Xiao Han quickly said, "Hurry up, the General is waiting for you."

Lin Chuan hesitated for a bit, then walked towards the platform with firm steps.

The General watched Lin Chuan from afar, his face bearing a smile.

Whoosh!

More than three thousand soldiers on the scene suddenly saluted, their postures neat, their demeanor vibrant, making the scene appear solemn and dignified. Lin Chuan suddenly felt a sense of pride welling up inside him; he walked slowly to the platform, and then saluted the General and other generals.

"General, my return to the unit is late," Lin Chuan said with self-reproach.

"Not late!" The General stood up and declared, "You are a warrior of the homeland, you are the guardian deity of the homeland, you are our pride in our hearts. Lin Chuan, on behalf of the Party, the Military Commission, and the people of the entire nation, I welcome you back to the unit."

"Thank you, General." Lin Chuan's eyes welled up.

Although he had made a mistake, the General, however, disregarded all opposition and single-handedly protected him, letting him suffer no harm nor any unjust treatment. Of course, the so-called little grievances in his heart compared to the intense internal struggles of the General were simply trivial.

"Soldiers," the General turned to look at the more than three thousand soldiers present and said, "Every one of you here is our elite, the guardians of the homeland, the pride of all China. Because of you, there is harmony in our homeland, peace and security; because of you, the citizens can live in peace and work happily, and our homeland can be wealthy and strong. However, warriors, the Western powers have never given up on subverting our great homeland, so we must be vigilant, we must unite as one, we must always enhance our combat strength."

The General spoke earnestly, his voice resonant and powerful, his words impactful. Each word deeply imprinted in the hearts of every warrior.

"The imperialists' intent to destroy us never dies; we shoulder the expectations of a generation," the General stepped down from the platform. He went deep among the soldiers, his tone solemn, his demeanor sacred, the General's presence majestic, after all, he was a seasoned veteran from the Korean battlegrounds. With life and death set aside, he earnestly looked at each soldier below him and declared, "Warriors, children, you are the hope of the nation, the future of the homeland, you bear the responsibilities of the nation's development, the heavy burden of the rising homeland. You are the children of the republic, you are the warriors of the republic, our flesh and blood are the walls against imperialist aggression. With my body, I resist foreign enemies; with my heart, I am undying, immortal."

"With my body, I withstand foreign foes; with my heart, I will never perish!" Over three thousand troops and officers shouted aloud.

Lin Chuan could feel the grandeur at the scene and was deeply moved by it.

Old General stepped back onto the podium and said: "Lin Chuan!"

"Present!" Lin Chuan swiftly walked over.

"This time, you've saved our country from great loss." The Old General said smilingly, "If it weren't for you, the nation could have leaked countless secrets, possibly resulting in devastating losses for the republic. Because of you, we've averted a great disaster and saved numerous lives. Hence, after deliberations by the military commission and the president, it's decided that you are to be awarded the Hero Medal. I hope you can continue to use your utmost abilities to share the nations' worries."

Clap!

Lin Chuan saluted earnestly, saying, "I will never fail the party and the people's expectations!"

"Very good." The Old General nodded.

At this moment, a warrior with a strong stature, holding a tray, marched forward. In the tray lay a golden silk, upon which rested a shiny golden medal. This medal was the republic's Hero Medal, a first-class merit medal. Lin Chuan's trip to Japan, where he killed Old A and recovered the intelligence, prevented national losses and also protected national dignity, thwarting the imperialists' intentions of destroying us.

Old General personally hung the medal around Lin Chuan's neck, then patted his shoulder and said, "Lin Chuan, welcome back to the Dark Soldier. On behalf of the Commander, I would like to extend our gratitude to you!"

"General, it is I who should be thankful," said Lin Chuan with a guilty face, "I failed to meet the party and the people's expectations. Thank you for giving me another chance. I will definitely reform and be a better person, never failing the high hopes everyone has placed in me."

"Good," the Old General said excitedly, "your return is the greatest comfort to me."

The award ceremony and the rejoining ceremony were almost held simultaneously.

As a member of the Dark Soldier and also its captain, Lin Chuan shouldered responsibilities far beyond everyone else.********, good steel should be used on the edge of the blade. Lin Chuan is like quality steel, as are the Dark Soldiers, and since it is good steel, it is naturally used where it counts most.

With Lin Chuan's return to the Dark Soldier and to the Commander, he also fulfilled one of the Old General's heartfelt wishes. Had Lin Chuan not returned, the Old General would always feel a stone hanging in his heart, a fishbone stuck in his throat.

The rejoining ceremony was conducted with great solemnity and pomp.

Thereafter, the Old General organized an exercise, where a special operations group from the military district served as the Blue Army, and a six-person group from the Dark Soldier as the Red Army. Both sides began a real combat simulation on the exercise grounds. Of course, this was just a friendly match, such exercises are common within the troops, happening every few days.

The outcome of the competition was quickly concluded, with no suspense at all. Despite the Blue Army having more than twenty people, they still couldn't contend with the Dark Soldier. In thirty minutes, all twenty-plus people were 'killed'.

Of course, such a result had already been anticipated by many and even imagined by others.

Lin Chuan's lips curled into a slightly sinister smile and said, "The outcome is disappointing."

"Ah, the opponent's strength was too weak." Tie Niu muttered in a small voice, yet the Blue Army's captain heard it and grew extremely angry, his face turning livid with rage, but there was nothing he could do about the loss and could only concede defeat.

Miss Lan laughed and said, "Their strength is actually quite good to have lasted more than half an hour against us."

Hearing this, the opposing captain's face turned even greener. But since he really wasn't a match for them, he had to swallow his pride. He left in a dejected manner.

With Lin Chuan's return, the Dark Soldier's capabilities have been elevated. His return also caught the attention of all international powers.

......

The American Intelligence Bureau was the first agency to get the news.

Everson had been serving the American Intelligence Bureau for over a decade, becoming its director was the proudest achievement of his life. From being a minor intelligence officer to the directorship speaks volumes about the efforts he made. Among all the countries, the United States has always paid great attention to China. As an Eastern power, this once slumbering lion had been awakened decades ago.

Today, this vast lion is rapidly developing with astonishing power, soon becoming a very powerful country. And all this was something the United States and its people could never have imagined. Everson has always been deeply interested in China and has spent substantial effort studying it.

When the Dark Soldier unit was established, it didn't attract much attention from other countries. However, Everson became alert, even attempting several times to contact members of the Dark Soldier to shake their military spirit. But, all these operations failed. Members of the Dark Soldier are each intensely loyal, especially Lin Chuan.

Two years ago, Lin Chuan was expelled from the Dark Soldier organization, which greatly pleased Everson. Afterwards, he contacted Lin Chuan multiple times, hoping to persuade Lin Chuan to join the United States, offering him a green card, and even promising military honors and promotions. Unfortunately, Lin Chuan refused them all.
