He concealed his sneer and said, “Last year, I protected Du Kaiwei… He is the eldest son of Deputy Chief of Staff Du, and this matter was also arranged by that man. That’s how I got in touch with Deputy Chief of Staff Du.”
“Before your mother died, he wrote to me and then contacted Old Mrs. Ye. Later, he really made me the provincial official from a village official, and then he let Sun Yaozu do things for him, and later he arranged for me to rescue Du Kaiwei and get in touch with Deputy Chief of Staff Du. Ye Jian, the person who killed your mother, is someone from the army, and he has considerable power.”
“It’s not easy for you to find out who the man is. Even if you find out, how are you going to take your revenge? He is not me; I don’t have any foundation. Once something happens, anyone can push my wall down. But not him. He already had such great power 20 years ago, and that will still be the case 20 years later. He can fool a dignified Deputy Chief of Staff, Ye Jian, your enemy is not easy.”
“I have a suggestion. You can stay put for the time being and see if you can find your biological father first…” Ye Zhifan was a successful man. Now that he knew that it was difficult for him to get out, he didn’t mind giving pointers to Ye Jian.
Of course, he hadn’t thought about relying on Ye Jian to help him to leave. What he was doing now was to convince Ye Jian of his sincerity. Apart from that, he had no other plan.
Ye Jian almost forgot to restrain the coldness from her face when she heard him making suggestions for her.
She raised her eyebrows very shallowly and made Ye Zhifan assume that she was interested.
Seeing that she believed in himself right now, Ye Zhifan showed even more sincerity on his face, “Your mother has always been in the army, and your father should also be in the army. Go to your mother’s army to look for your father, maybe you can find him. Then, slowly find out who tried to harm your mother. You can endure our family for more than ten years; I’m sure you can bear another three or five more years.”
“What’s more, you’ve gotten a certain reputation, and you know a Commander-in-Chief, you’ve used your own strength to gain the attention of those high-level troops, and you know those who were truly powerful. With them, you can slowly check your mother’s affairs. This way will be more reliable and safer for you.”
This was Ye Zhifan’s suggestion, it was indeed sincere, and it did sound like he was helping Ye Jian, nothing unusual at all.
But to Ye Jian, this was the terrifying part about Ye Zhifan.
He was indeed a talented and realistic man who would willingly not recognize his own relatives. He could see her situation clearly and reminded her so much, except for not having Sun Ying to leave prison, he didn’t make any other requests.
Because he knew that she wouldn’t accept any of his requests, so why to bother to humiliate himself.
Ye Zhifan was still planning very calmly as he took a step. This time, his plan was not how to climb up but to see how he could take revenge on the people who brought him down.
He wanted to see her confront Mrs. Li.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t remind her of what kind of person Mrs. Li was. The reason for him reminding her was simple. He wanted to see if she had the confidence and courage to really accept his request.
If she dared not, he wouldn’t lose much; at most, he would be disappointed.
If she dared, that meant that there were people supporting her and that she had a lot of influence, enough to confront Mrs. Li.
This was the terrifying thing about Ye Zhifan, always looking for the greatest vitality in the cracks!
“I have said so much; you’ve also seen my sincerity. Ye Jian, you already know what I want, Sun Ying, Sun Dongqing…” Five minutes had passed, and Ye Zhifan, who got up and was about to leave, mentioned the two people he hated the most, the pair of mother and daughter, and the elegant facial features on his face became full of gloomy cruelty, “Don’t even let them think they can leave!”
