Ye Jian thought Principal Chen didn’t hear the conversation between her and Sun Dongqing’s mother-daughter pair; only after exiting the hospital did she realize she had underestimated a sniper’s hearing ability.
“Ye Ying is about to join the military; what do you think about that?” After walking out of the hospital gates, Principal Chen asked frankly, making Ye Jian’s feet stop in place; while she was pondering on how to answer him, Principal Chen asked again: “Are you scared?”
Scared?
She wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she believed it was a wonderful thing, and she could send the recording to Supreme Commander Xia, letting him know about what Deputy Chief of Staff Du was doing.
At the same time, it was also evidence that Ye Zhifan was using his political influence to gain personal benefits!
Immediately, Ye Jian smiled: “Nope, Ye Ying isn’t worth being afraid of; the one I need to be wary of is Ye Zhifan. He is the reason the Ye family could spread its roots in Yunnan province, to catch bandits, go after the ringleader, for the Ye family, as long as we manage to knock Ye Zhifan down, then there isn’t any place for Ye Ying.”
Those who are in the wrong can live so peacefully, and we’re so arrogant to act cocky in front of her face, even if they themselves weren’t afraid of things being exposed, so what did she have to be afraid of? What’s there to be afraid of?
Taking in Principal Chen’s measuring look, the sunny smile on her face seemed like a spring breeze had just blown between a tree’s branch, giving her smile a sense of leisureliness as if she was just admiring the scenery.
“Uncle Chen, I have never felt afraid because of the Ye family, I haven’t in the past, and never will in the future.”
“So what if Ye Ying managed to join the military? SO what if she managed to join the Beijing Political Party? Control the heavens with a flip of her hands? She’ll never reach that place.”
“Playing with power and influence, even Ye Zhifan was doing that extremely cautiously, afraid that a slight carelessness would drop him into the bottomless abyss. Ye Ying is opinionated, believing that she could do anything after joining the military; why don’t we let her believe that so naively.”
Her words, her leisureliness, the open-mindedness between her brows, and her calmness that wouldn’t panic in the face of adversity had made Principal Chen laugh out heartily: “Oh little lass, you’ve really grown up, you’ve really grown up.”
“That’s right, Ye Ying joining the military doesn’t mean anything; she couldn’t cause waves, nor could she muddy the waters. On the contrary, joining the military with a bad past, the first one who wouldn’t forgive her wouldn’t be anyone else; it would be the person that had allowed her into the military.”
“What should mankind do? You can fight, you can contest, but you must obey the rules! Ye Ying is smart, but she was also ruined by her smarts. Opinionated people would never walk far, and they would never turn into someone useful.”
“You are very right; we should let her keep her naive beliefs.”
Ye Jian, who was listening quietly, smiled with pursed lips; Uncle Chen’s focal point was still on Ye Zhifan and didn’t believe that Ye Ying could do anything.
Actually, that wasn’t true, can’t cause waves, and can’t muddy the waters… then that wasn’t Ye Ying anymore.
The recording in her phone would more or less cause trouble for Ye Ying, but that would have to depend on what Supreme Commander Xia had planned; matters like that wasn’t something a small Military Cadet like her could interfere in.
Ye Ying had said something really right; it was true she was just a puny Military Cadet who couldn’t do anything, so she could only pass the recording to Supreme Commander Xia.
After Supreme Commander Xia had received the recording, he placed the recording in the hands of the Military Disciplinary Committee, who had done what, who had managed to get into the military because of whom, everything was explained clear as day in the recording.
Getting blacklisted from the entrance exams and was forbidden from taking it due to heart disease… even someone like that could get into the Beijing Political Party? And was recorded on top of that?
The high-ranking officers in the Military Disciplinary Committee listened to the recording as they looked at each other; since when did Deputy Chief of Staff Du turn so unreliable?
Keeping a backup of the recording, Supreme Commander Xia no longer interfered with this matter, Old Du couldn’t be touched, but they could lay their hands on Yunnan Province’s Director Ye.
After bringing up such an arrogant and presumptuous daughter, he should know that his career wouldn’t go far.
