The more he spoke, the colder and more bloodthirsty Director Chaiâs expression grew, and Principal Chenâs eyebrows were also locking together after listening.
He hadnât known the comrades of Ye Jianâs mother when she was alive had come to Fujun town! Neither did he expect theyâd actually received news of Ye Jianâ dying prematurelyâ!
Three years after her deathâ¦, wasnât that precisely when Ye Zhifan was relocated to Fujun Townâs Town Government?
Principal Chen couldnât help but speak up, âThis matter is more complicated than that; while someone was doing their damndest to stop you guys from meeting Ye Jian, they were also going to great pains to order Ye Zhifanâs family to turn Ye Jian useless, so that the death of Ye Jianâs mother would never be revealed under the light of day.â
If even her own daughter wonât investigate the truth of her motherâs death, then who else would go investigate it?
There wonât be anyone else who paid attention to something that happened decades ago, neither would anybody purposely go and investigate this! Even if it was this Old Chai, if he hadnât encountered Ye Jian, it was very probable that he wouldnât go investigate.
After all, it had happened too long ago; who else would have remembered?
Even Old Uncle Gen, his heart wasnât inclined on letting Ye Jian go investigate. Otherwise, he wouldnât have hidden the truth for so long.
But, if Ye Jian insists on investigating, neither would he stop her.
Director Chaiâs brows knit even closer together; he rummaged around his pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes. Pulling out one, he bent his waist to light it with the fire; he drew in several deep breaths and exhaled a series of smoke; his heart and mind were thinking nonstop.
This canât do; he canât allow Ye Jian to risk herself, neither could he allow Red Plumâs sole daughter to risk herself, in case something happens to Ye Jian, he couldnât answer to Red Plum!
Principal Chen also did not speak, to investigate or notâ¦, he and Old Uncle Gen had the same idea, they only wanted little lass Ye to travel far and stand high up, they did not wish for little lass Ye to lose her happiness because of her hatred.
âOld Chen, leave investigating Red Plumâs death to me; the moment I have any news, Iâll tell you as soon as possible! Iâve waited for this long and only knew Red Plumâs daughter was still alive; as long as Ye Jian wants to investigate, I will definitely help her.â Director Chai, who had just finished a cigarette, didnât have any sliver of unnecessary emotion on his face, the Director of the Bureau of Public Security who holds a high position bellowed out each word: âMy life was saved by Red Plum, and now, it is time for me to repay the debt of life! Older Brother, tell Ye Jian, tell her to not act, for now, I will act in her stead!â
Principal Chen didnât say anything else; he only asked this, âWhy must it be investigated?â
âOlder Brother, let me tell you about Red Plum; after you finish listening to me, youâll know why Iâm doing it.â Bringing up his dead comrade, Director Chaiâs eyes were once again filled with gentleness, recollecting the memories of his younger life.
All those years ago, our country started establishing a female-only special forces unit to carry out special and dangerous missions that male soldiers cannot accomplish; Red Plum stood out amongst more than six thousand female soldiers; she appeared in their unit with a clean military uniform, and became the flower of the unit.
She exerted herself more than the male soldiers, a comrade of theirs made a mistake with a grenade, and a serious incident was about to happen; it was Red Plum who kicked the grenade flying.
A male soldier was bit by a venomous snake; Red Plum said nothing and tossed herself against him and started sucking the venom out, saving the male soldierâs life.
Encountering an avalanche, it was still Red Plum, who disregarded the possibility of dying, who dragged a male soldier with both legs broken from a fall all by herself.
After entering a desert and encountering a sandstorm, the whole unit was lost; it was the water bottle on Red Plum that saved the twenty lives of their unit!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
And his life shouldâve expired on a certain border, it was Red Plum who risked her life against the shower of bullets to save him; her own calves and shoulders were punctured by shrapnel.
