Su Chaoyang lifted his gaze towards his grandfather, nodding firmly. He slowly conveyed the decision he had come to after days of deep consideration: "I am serious. I have been serving in the special forces for all these years and have done everything I should have. I'm proud of the national emblem that I carry and the insignia on my shoulder. For the rest of my life, I want to justify the love and care of the people who raised me and the one I love. As long as my faith and ideals stay the same, I can contribute in any position. I don't necessarily have to stay in the special forces to realize my life's worth."
Besides, he's now littered with injuries and hidden ailments, physically unsuited to continue serving in the special forces. It's time for him to retire and make way for the next generation.
With that said, the room fell silent. The elderlies glanced at each other, not entirely sure what to say.
