Ye Jian’s determination made Commissioner Cai understand why Principal Chen had previously stopped him. Principal Chen didn’t want to tell Ye Jian about this for the time being. Now, Commissioner Cai wanted to
slap himself.
“Child, I came to tell you because I wanted to tell you that your mother was indeed harmed and sacrificed. I wanted you to be aware, not have you put yourself in danger.”
Commissioner Cai started persuading her seriously. “You’re the only descendant of your mother. We were entrusted by your mother to take good care of you. Now, you want to put yourself in danger. Ye Jian, I don’t
agree with your decision.
“Even if we need to open an investigation, you should let us investigate first. Right now, all you need to do is study hard and complete your studies. That’s the most important thing for you.
“I came here this time because I was afraid that something might happen during the investigation. You don’t know anything now. Even if you have doubts, you should reinvestigate before doing anything else.
“You don’t know how deep the water was back then. Even after more than ten years, the water is still deep. I’ve been very careful during my investigation, afraid that something big would happen again. You’re just a
cadet now. What can you use to investigate?”
If he had known that this child was so stubborn, he would have discussed it with Principal Chen first… But he didn’t know where Principal Chen was now.
‘Old Chen, oh Old Chen. I wanted to discuss it with you but I couldn’t find you. Even the villagers of Shuikou Village don’t know where you are.’
Oh yeah, he almost forgot something.
“Ye Jian, Principal Chen has been taking care of you. Do you know where he is? I went to Shuikou Village but I couldn’t find him. Even the villagers said that they haven’t seen him for a long time.”
He was afraid that something would happen!
After all, he was investigating Red Plum’s sacrifice and had handed some of Red Plum’s belongings to Old Chen. It was the same as bringing him into danger.
Ye Jian could tell that he was worried. However, she couldn’t reveal too much information about Uncle Chen, so she said, “Uncle Chen went on a holiday. I’m afraid he won’t be back anytime soon.”
Hearing his worries and concerned tone, Ye Jian, who had always been sharp, asked, “Just now, you said that the waters were already very deep more than ten years ago and it’s still the same after ten years. You also
mentioned that you’re afraid that something might happen during the investigation. Are you saying that once someone finds out that you’re investigating my mother’s death, they’ll kill you to silence you?”
“That’s right. That’s why I’m stopping you.” Facing an extremely intelligent cadet, Commissioner Cai knew that the only thing he could do was to make things clearer.
Ye Jian’s expression was as cold as ice. “Since it’s so dangerous, I can’t just watch you and my mother’s comrades take the risk. As her daughter, I must do what I should do.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m not stupid enough to joke about my future. I have a way to gain his attention, and I also have a way to prevent myself from getting into trouble.”
‘Sun Yaozu, let’s face each other head-on!”
Ye Jian didn’t keep all the documents. After memorizing all the contents, she destroyed them in front of Commissioner Cai. “I’ll keep the two photos. I’ve memorized the rest of the information. I can’t keep them. I don’t
want to implicate you.”
Commissioner Cai knew that he couldn’t stop Ye Jian. He sighed. “I’ll try to get the report. I’ll update you immediately.”.
