"Yeah. Colonel Lin will be discharged from the hospital on that day too. I'll fetch him on my way back to the platoon." Lu Xingzhi nodded, not showing much excitement and expectation about attending the recognition ceremony.
The recognition ceremony was held to honor the efforts of Colonel Lin and Lu Xingzhi. The Jin City platoon sent both as representatives to the rescue mission, to which they came back safely albeit with injuries.
"Xingzhi, I heard from Grandpa that the superiors are planning to bestow both you and Colonel Lin the Individual First-Class Merit Medal, is that right?" Luo Ruoran interrupted. "I also heard that the Jin City platoon is planning to form a special forces unit, with both Colonel Lin and you under consideration."
"That's right, but it will be some time until the special forces unit is active. It's definitely not going to happen this year." This was the discussion Lu Xingzhi had with Colonel Lin for the past few days; Old General Liang privately informed them of the news.
Jiang Yao was slightly perplexed hearing it. She knew nothing about the recognition ceremony nor the formation of the special forces unit. She spent almost every waking hour with Lu Xingzhi, and yet he managed to hide a lot of information from her.
Nonetheless, Jiang Yao was not upset.
First of all, Lu Xingzhi was not a person to brag about his achievements. Plus, before things were confirmed and set in stone, he would not divulge anything to anyone else.
"Feitang is under consideration too!" General Chen called out before looking at Chen Feibai and sighed, "On the other hand, Feibai here is driving me crazy!"
