What Principal Chen knew was no more than what Ye Jian knew now. Ye Jian, who listened quietly, swept the parallel bars with both hands, then gently pinched the snow in her palms with her ten fingers and looked far ahead.
The front of the sniper base was surrounded by lofty mountains; she could only see mountains beyond her eyes. The other side of the mountain may still be another mountain, or it may be flat land. Just like her journey today, it may be a high mountain or a flat road; she didn’t know what the future would be like. She only knew to take every step day by day and not leave any regrets.
Just like when she took action to get rid of Sun Yaozu, she never regretted it.
Living in the presence was the foundation of a person.
“Uncle Chen, this person is very likely to still be in the army and even become a general with real power. His family members could also be involved in political power; their power is not small.” Ye Jian, who looked firmly ahead, said in a very calm tone, she couldn’t afford to make any big movements.
Then Principal Chen’s face changed drastically, and his tone was quite stern, “Director Cai has been investigating this matter for so long and hasn’t got a clue. He only faintly feels that the person who harmed your mother is still in the army, Ye girl, how did you know! What have you been hiding from me!”
There were deep worries in his stern tone. Ye Jian tilted her head and smiled slightly at her caring relative, “I’m sorry to have you worry about me due to my waywardness during this period.”
He was worried that she would make an aggressive move that would ruin her future. He immediately became vigilant when he heard something wrong; even his usual gentle eyes became extremely sharp.
Only those who were really worried about her would have such a big reaction.
Ye Jian didn’t want to hide the truth from Principal Chen. Since they already knew it, instead of letting Uncle Chen worry, it was better to tell him the truth.
So she told her speculation that night one by one, “The reason why I said that this person has military power in his hands and that he has political power in his family is not unreasonable speculation. He helped Sun Yaozu to become a normal resident from his previous fugitive status and also supported Ye Zhifan. From these two things, we can see that his identity is not simple.”
“Since his identity is not simple, it is reasonable to say that we small people are not a hinder to him, but everything he does is incredible.”
“He deliberately revealed to Director Cai that I fell into the water and died, but then also saved my life. Uncle Chen, why do you think he did that? He spent so much effort to take my mother’s life. I understand he did that perhaps my mother knew something that posed a certain threat to him.”
“But what about me? What threat can I bring him? Ye Zhifan, Sun Dongqing, and Old Mrs. Ye treated me terribly. I doubt that the days I lived before were by his instructions.”
“Am I worthy of his time that he had to instruct others to keep my life in secret and then instructed Ye Zhifan’s family to raise me terribly? Uncle Chen, am I worthy of his meticulous work for such a big game? I’m not worth it; I can’t think of how I am worthy of him spending so much effort and time.”
“But then I thought again since he secretly plotted against my family, can I say that if my family is alive, our presence is a threat to him? Speaking of threats, my dad passed away early, and my mother also died. The adults are all not alive. What else can threaten him?”
“Me? Ten years ago, I was just two or three years old. What threat do I pose to him? If I can really threaten him, then he could’ve let Ye Zhifan’s family to get rid of me since young.”
