Don’t mistake Red Plum as just a female soldier, yet the heroic bravery she displays made all the male soldiers respect her from the bottom of her heart!
“Older Brother, Red Plum was that nice and was that deserving of people’s respect. All those years ago, the Premier personally covered her with the red flag, was because the Premier knew about the heroic deeds of Red Plum and was calling for the entire army to learn from her.”
Whenever he mentioned Sun Xueqing, even Director Chai was sitting in the standard sitting posture whenever there was a meeting in their unit, his spine was bolt-upright, and his legs were pressed gently together, his hands that were pinching the cigarette head were placed reverentially on his knees, his expression didn’t even need describing, solemn, serious and bearing respect.
Principal Chen didn’t know too much about Ye Jian’s mother. After listening to everything, this World-class Sniper was already filled with respect towards this deceased War-hero, “In that case, Ye Jian truly takes after her mother! Brave and fearless, not fearing death at all!”
“Yet that child is much stronger than Red Plum; she wouldn’t be manipulated too much by her own feelings!” Director Chai lay bare the largest difference between the mother and daughter with one sentence, “Red Plum’s most fatal weakness was soft-heartedness, extremely softhearted, and also very trusting in others, she had always believed people are inherently kind, yet she had overlooked the complexity of human nature.”
“Ye Jian is different, even though I’ve only seen Ye Jian once, but the efficient manner of how she handles things wasn’t something Red Plum can be compared to, if all those years ago Red Plum could make a prompt decision, maybe everything afterwards wouldn’t have happened.” Although he hadn’t found Ye Jian, Director Chai didn’t think he had wasted his trip over here.
As long as Red Plum’s own daughter was also suspicious of her mother’s death, and was doing her own investigations, then he can rest easy!
“Though I believe Red Plum’s death is suspicious, I have never truly thought about going back and investigating it; after all, seventeen years have passed. Besides, because of Red Plum’s death, a few other things happened in the unit; after sending War-hero Red Plum off, the entire unit tossed themselves into their new mission, and I also did the same.”
“By the time we returned, more than half a year had passed, even though we felt that Red Plum’s death was suspicious, and because of time, we didn’t ponder too much about it. This time, after encountering Ye Jian, that child actually didn’t know much about her own mother, that made my heart ache too much.”
“Her mother was so excellent and dedicated her entire life for the country, but her daughter didn’t even know what kind of soldier she was; it should not be so!”
“To let Ye Jian have a better understanding of her mother, I returned to my old unit, but I discovered my old unit no longer has any data about Red Plum. I asked the younger soldiers…, none of them actually know there had been such a well-respected War-hero of other male soldiers as their senior!”
Director Chai, whose eyes were blazing with sparks, seemed to have turned crimson, his fists that were placed on his knees clenched tightly, he even managed to roll the section of still-lighted cigarette head into his palm.
He was too enraged and didn’t even feel it when the cigarette head was burning against his palm.
“They intend to cover it up; they did it intentionally! This is to completely erase Red Plum’s existence! A soldier who died for her country, who only left behind a wailing daughter in this world, somebody not only wanted to wipe away her existence, they even wanted to turn her daughter into someone useless. They deserve death!!”
When he reached the end, tears were shimmering in the eyes of the dignified Director of the Bureau of Public Security!
Even Principal Chen, who was listening, clenched his jaw!
Truly, they deserve death!
What had happened, to even need to wipe away the traces of someone’s existence! Making a soldier who had died for her country who also had great achievements into an obscure commoner that no one could know, no one could hear about!
How dare they be so bold!
