Director Chaiâs voice was growing even colder, like the Northern wind at the polar regions, which could freeze someoneâs heart whenever it blew, âIf I donât stand for it, I will disappoint Red Plum! I will disappoint my own conscience!â
âOld Chai, I thank you in Ye Jianâs stead!!â Principal Chenâs face was solemn; he will not stop Ye Jian from investigating the reason behind her motherâs death again because this was no longer a personal matter!
This was connected to a soldierâs honor!
Director Chao exhaled, he shook his head: âI am unworthy of Ye Jianâs thanks; I had been careless. I have thought about it countless times, yet I kept believing that I mustâve been overthinking. All those years ago, if I had insisted on it even a little, probably everything wouldâve been different.â
He pulled out a small telephone directory from the briefcase that never left his hands and passed it to Principal Chen, âThis is the contact info of all the comrades of Red Plum who had been through life and death together; all of them were comrades Red Plum risked her neck to save. Iâve contacted four of the comrades who now hold a certain position, and I will lead the way and start investigating Red Plumâs death, covertly.â
âWhen I contacted them, only did I know they too suspected Red Plumâs death wasnât simple at all. This is their contact information; if something unexpected occurs, Older Brother, you must make Ye Jian continue the investigation, and never forsake it before she had found out the truth!â
Principal Chen took the telephone directory, âYe Jian previously wanted to start the investigation from her uncle, Ye Zhifan, but later someone reminded her that this person was being supported by someone in the shadows. Old Chai, if you guys want to start the investigation, it doesnât hurt to start from Ye Zhifan.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThereâs also an Old Mrs. Ye and her son-in-law, Sun Yaozu, you guys can also investigate them; I think youâd find something. However, all of you must be careful. The reason we havenât touched these people up till now was that we were wary of them and didnât want to alert the enemy and ruin little lass Yeâs future.â
With a heavy expression, Director Chai narrowed his eyes; not only was his look frosty, but hints of killing intent had also occupied it, âThis person must have an extraordinary status, and his background is surely not simple as well, either theyâre someone in the military, or they have a family member in the military.â
âOlder Brother, rest assured, we will be careful and wouldnât be discovered so easily! And I am not afraid of getting into an accident; all I want is to bring justice for Red Plum! To bring the soldierâs well-deserved justice!â Even her lifeâs story and achievements have been wiped away covertly; how could they not be enraged!
They have done too much, yet that has also revealed a certainty behind Red Plumâs suspicious death.
The world was starting to change; all of the dust-covered events of the past, all of the late truth, will one day await their best ending.
Justice will never be late, as its quality is its persistence!
The winter was a chilly season; it was a season where all slumbering life awaits their wake; after Principal Chen sent Director Chai, who had come here for justice, he stood under the eaves for a long time and didnât return inside; he stared at the horizon until it was glowing blue and white, only then did he let out a long sigh.
Old Uncle, Iâm sorry, Iâm about to break my promise.
Not going to stop Ye Jian from searching the truth behind her motherâs death; neither will I hide the past you had told me. Ye Jian, she must know the truth, and they must return a soldierâs well-deserved glory back to War-hero Sun Xueqing!
The mountains finally snowed in December, as they embraced the first snow of the year, around 5:30 am, they started floating down, and around six in the morning, it was snowing fluffy snow.
Ye Jian and the others finally put on their winter clothes in their packs; previously, they wanted their marching to be easy, but now they seemed particularly bloated, and it seemed like it would affect their agility.
âEveryone inspect their equipment, inventory of bullets, ensure you can shoot accurately at your target!â Following the two team leaderâs orders, all of the seemingly bloated team leaders moved unusually agilely and quickly made an inventory of each otherâs equipment.
