"Comrade Qiao Qingqing, please do not be agitated. Things are not as you imagine. This intelligence involves a vast network, which is why our superiors are treating this matter with such extreme caution. As a soldier, Comrade Lu Heng should understand the necessity of these actions, and I hope you can understand as well."
The Second Battalion Commander maintained a stern face, attempting to reason with Qiao Qingqing. She, however, was not buying it.
"Commander, as a soldier, Lu Heng fulfilled his duties and obligations. He survived death through his own grit and capability—does he deserve to be treated like a criminal because of it? Is the organization trying to tell everyone that if a mission cannot be completed, one shouldn't bother coming back alive, but should instead commit suicide to apologize?"
