Chapter 200: Revenge is Taken
Even though neither the U.S. government nor the military has revealed the members of the SEAL Six team who carried out the assassination mission, Yue'er always believed that Chris must have been among them. He is so persistent, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to slash the enemy. Although she never had a chance to find out, she knew that he must have been involved in the operation.
Yue'er did guess correctly, Chris not only participated in the operation, but he did personally kill Ben Langdon at the scene, ending more than a decade of turmoil caused by the leader of this terrorist organization to all mankind.
The great revenge was avenged, the string that he had been holding in his heart for more than ten years was finally loosened, he was so tired, in the past few years, he was simply like a walking corpse, devoting himself to his revenge. If there is still a glimmer of light in his life, it is probably the happy time he used to be with Yue'er. In the difficult battlefield environment, the day is precarious, and the only thing that makes him persist is the blood feud between his parents and brother, as well as the photos of Yue'er that he will always carry with him.
The SEAL Team 6 is more dangerous than the average team member because they perform the highest level of missions, and they are covered in dog tags almost every time they go out on a mission. In addition to dog tags, Chris also carries a photo of Yue'er in each pocket.

Dog tag, the English counterpart is "Military Dog-Tag", that is, military identification tag. It is a set (two) stainless steel sheets, both of which are 5cm X 3cm in size, the main card has a 24-inch stainless steel long necklace, and the secondary card has a 4-inch short necklace, which is mainly used to identify and identify the body after the battle.
As early as the Second World War, the development of "dog tags" has tended to be perfected. It is not only engraved with the name, military rank, etc., but also adds information such as blood type, time of joining the army, and the number of the unit to which it belongs. Military badges first appeared during the American Civil War, and the brutal war made many soldiers who died in battle unrecognizable, and the remaining remains alone could not be identified. Therefore, in order to return their bodies to their relatives after death, some soldiers engraved their names and troops on the surface of the coins, which is the predecessor of the "dog tag", after all, coins can withstand the devastation of war more than some pieces of paper.
After the outbreak of the First World War, due to the great power of the new weapons, many soldiers were wounded or killed in battle, and their flesh and blood were so unrecognizable that they could not be recognized. Those early paper identity cards that were extremely fragile were completely useless, so metal identity cards came into being in the war because of their special properties.
Now, when a U.S. soldier knows that he is going to die in battle, he will take off the military badge around his neck and hold it in his mouth, because the mandible can protect the badge from damage to a certain extent. As long as the military badge is not broken, there is hope that the comrades-in-arms will find their bodies and take them home.
Dog tags also have disadvantages, sometimes sharp stainless steel tags will scratch exposed skin, and dog tags often collide with weapons in battle, clanging, increasing the risk of target exposure, for which many soldiers simply do not wear them, after all, it is more important to be alive......

In a high-risk combat unit like Chris's, almost everyone will have a dog tag around their neck, and they will also have identification tags placed in their limbs, after all, war is cruel, and it is common for many people to die without a body once they die......
When he finally got his revenge, a physically and mentally exhausted Chris applied to take a back seat. Originally, he had the opportunity to go to Washington, D.C., and with his military merits, he could have obtained a very decent official position, but he was really tired, and he needed to give himself a chance to rest, so he took the initiative to choose to join the Counter-Terrorism Committee of the United Nations Military Staff Committee.
With his qualifications, he can also serve the public in the highest position here. Of course, he didn't choose the United Nations for any high-ranking position, he simply wanted to be closer to the person he had been thinking about for a long time, nothing more.
In fact, it's not just Yue'er who is silently paying attention to Chris, why isn't he worried about Yue'er? But he knew very well that in the past ten years, he was not qualified to have any contact with Yue'er, not the slightest contact.
He can't be Yue'er's concern and burden, and now he is already alone, even if he sacrifices, no one will be sad for him. It is precisely because of this that he resolutely chooses to break up with Yue'er, if he lets his beloved woman live in fear all day long, what kind of man is he?
However, even if the revenge was avenged, he still didn't have the courage to walk up to Yue'er.
First, he made all kinds of choices in the past, and he didn't give her a chance to choose, so he selfishly decided everything for her. And how should he explain the lack of news in the past ten years?
Although he knew in various ways that she had never loved her anymore, but what? Can he still confidently walk up to her and tell her casually: "Honey, I'm back, although I've been gone for 12 years, I still love you, let's get back together." β
Twelve years, how many twelve years of a person's youth are? What's more, he's taking revenge, what if he hasn't found Ben Langdon yet? What if it's twenty years? Chris can't do it, he can't do it anyway, and all these years have been a dream. He couldn't be sure if Yue'er hadn't loved him again all these years because of him, and he didn't dare to take it for granted so cheekily.
More importantly, he was diagnosed with PTSD when he returned from the battlefield. Maybe it has been there for a long time, but he has turned a blind eye for so many years. Fortunately, his symptoms were not particularly severe, mainly manifested as anxiety and insomnia. After the military doctor diagnosed, he was already asking him to cooperate with the treatment, and it is expected that the symptoms will be controlled within half a year, and Chris hopes that the day he recovers will reappear in front of the person he loves, instead of the broken appearance in front of him, which is one of the reasons why Yue'er begged him not to take revenge. In a word, this is fate?
But tonight he saw Leon, and when he saw Yue'er so close to a man for the first time in so many years, his heart was about to break. God must have punished him for his selfishness, so that he could kindle his hope and shatter this remaining illusion with his own hands.
Has Yue'er accepted someone else? Am I running out of opportunities? Chris pressed his temples in pain, frantically pulled out several small pill bottles from the drawer, and hurriedly swallowed them before lying on the bed again.
A string of numbers appeared in his mind again, and he immediately dialed a phone call: "Hi, camel, it's me, you help me check a license plate, well, don't ask so much, hurry up and check it and tell me." "Camel is the code name of one of his former comrades, and now retired from the military and working in the CIA, it's a super trivial thing for people like them to check the license plate.
The camel quickly called back: "Checked, this car is registered in the name of Leon Kennedy." It's that big star. β
Chris quickly searched for the name and saw countless photos of Leon, and he immediately confirmed that the man in front of him was the one he saw tonight.
After reading the two-line introduction casually, his brows furrowed, 51 girlfriends? How can such a person get close to Yue'er? He didn't even deserve a single hair of Yue'er.
Chris originally wanted to bless him, but after reading Leon's profile, he felt more and more that this person was really not a good match, and Yue'er should deserve a better man, even if it wasn't him, it couldn't be this kind of prodigal son in love.
