After Ye Jian’s conversation was over, Commander-in-Chief Xia also planned to leave. Seeing Major General Song asked about Ye Jian’s future arrangements, he pondered for a moment and said, “There is such a plan, but before that, the case of Martyr Sun Xueqing should be investigated first.”
“I don’t want anyone to use their power again to harm the country and lose another outstanding soldier!”
“Ye Jian has an uncle who is now the Director of the Construction Bureau of Yunnan Province. She was fostered by that uncle back then. Ye Jian said just now that the suspect behind the scenes dare not directly kill Ye Jian and may instruct Ye Zhifan to raise her badly. Old Song, although you can’t startle the snake by beating the grass, we can still startle the snake this time!”
“Look up Ye Zhifan’s past history, let the Central (Discipline) Commission intervene in the investigation, take off his official post first! Then pay attention to who in the army cares about Ye Zhifan’s fall, then we can almost lock the target.”
“Take this goal as the coordinate, and investigate the relationship of the target person. At the same time, we can know who were the leaders who controlled Sun Xueqing’s army during her lifetime, who did harm to the country and the people.”
Major General Song, who thought for a while, nodded, “Your plan is doable; I will have a small meeting with them and plan the follow-up things step by step. It is not difficult for the Central (Discipline) Commission to intervene. Newspapers began to publish reports on corruption and bribery of officials last year. I can ask them to investigate in Yunnan Province.”
Ye Jian didn’t know that the few words from Commander-in-Chief Xia had made Ye Zhifan’s status as the official of the transportation bureau come to an end. Coming out of the meeting room, she pursed the corners of her mouth and asked Colonel Tan, who had ordered the guards to come over, “Chief, can I ask you something?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Colonel Tan, who had a good impression of Ye Jian, smiled, “I can explain to you about your mother’s matter. But if you want further details, it is difficult for me to answer.”
Ye Jian shook her head, “No, no, not that. I want to ask about Director Cai…how is he?”
They had only been talking about her mother just now, so she did not dare to interrupt.
“Cai Zhizhang, he’s good, don’t worry, he will be fine, but he will have to stay for a few more days. There are also a few comrades who have a good relationship with your mother and who accompanied Cai Zhizhang to secretly investigate the matter. When they come to our Military Discipline Inspection Commission to ask more questions, we can let him leave.”
With Colonel Tan’s words, Ye Jian was relieved.
Just when the guard came over, she followed the guard directly out of the Military Discipline Inspection Commission building.
She always walked fast. Commander-in-Chief Xia only chatted with Major General Song for two more minutes, and then he saw Colonel Tan approaching alone.
“Where is Little Ye? She left already?”
Colonel Tan replied after paying a military salute, “Yes, she just left; I asked the guard to send her off; you have something to say to her, Commander-in-Chief?”
“Yes, I have something to ask her. You go look for Old Song; he is waiting for you.”
When Commander-in-Chief Xia heard that Ye Jian had left alone, he sped up his pace and went out with the guard.
It was Chinese New Year; he hadn’t given her a red packet yet.
As for the old house, he wouldn’t trouble her for the time being. It would be uncomfortable for her to follow him. Only when his son came back he would take her to the old house to visit his old parents.
Ye Jian asked the sentry at the door and found out that the Commander-in-Chief had not left yet, so she waited for him. Within five minutes, she saw the Commander-in-Chief and two guards hurried out.
“Oh, luckily you haven’t left. I just chatted with Old Song a bit, and then I didn’t see you when I came out.” Commander-in-Chief Xia, who came over, motioned the guards to bring the car over, then he asked Ye Jian, “There is nothing much here anymore. Do you plan to return to Yunnan Province now? Or do you want to look around in the city for a few days?”
