"Back then, Sun Dongqing and Ye Zhifan were the ones who received the jade pendant from Miss Ye's mother. I didn't know what happened back then, until one day, when Ye Zhifan was transferred to the town. After drinking, he said something incoherent. He roughly said that it was thanks to the jade pendant that he was where he was today. Coincidentally, the village chief, who I asked to take care of Miss Jian, overheard him."
Uncle Gen didn't seem to be as spirited as he was when he was talking to Ye Chien. His voice was as bleak as the autumn leaves. "… I rushed back from the army and found out that the jade pendant was in Ye Zhifan's hands. After leaving the pendant, I saw Ye Zhifan rise from the town government to the deputy mayor.
"He held the position of deputy mayor for three years. After that, he was promoted faster and faster. He went from deputy mayor to mayor, then to city mayor, and now to the provincial office in just four years!
"As Ye Zhifan climbed higher and higher, so did the owner of the jade pendant. That's why he had the power to promote a deputy mayor to a provincial office in just four years!"
Uncle Gen had been paying attention to Ye Zhifan's promotion over the years. He knew that he couldn't let Ye Chien face Ye Zhifan head-on.
Principal Chen picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth. His mind was racing. "In other words, this jade pendant isn't a good thing for Ye Chien and Ye Chien's mother?"
"You can say that." Uncle Gen narrowed his eyes slightly. His serious expression had the wisdom of an old man who understood life. "It's not a good thing for Ye Zhifan either. He was suddenly given so much power. Think about it. Why?"
"There's no good or bad without reason. There's always a reason for everything. Ever since Ye Zhifan got the jade pendant from the village to the town, his career has been so smooth that it's amazing. The more I think about it, the more certain I am that someone is directly controlling Ye Zhifan. If an official is controlled by someone else, that official might become someone else's scapegoat. "
Principal Chen was shocked. He lowered his voice and said, "Are you saying that Martyr Sun Xueqing was ordered to investigate the jade pendant, but unfortunately, she was killed because she was exposed? Then why didn't the owner of the jade pendant immediately take it back? Why did they let Ye Zhifan have it and promote him so arrogantly? "
"Aren't you being too high profile? Aren't they afraid that the higher-ups will find out? Moreover, from the looks of it, I can only see that this piece of jade has brought benefits. It has allowed Ye Zhifan to rise all the way to the provincial office. "
"Also, don't you think it's strange that Sun Yaozu was acquitted? Who investigated the case for him? Who overturned the case? case? I don't think it's possible for Sun Yaozu to appeal on his own. How could a fugitive throw himself at the muzzle of a gun?
"Are you saying that someone secretly helped him?" Uncle Gen didn't think about this point. It was mainly because Old Lady Ye scolded Ye Zhifan that night and said that he raised an ungrateful person.
Also, with Ye Zhifan's cautiousness, he wouldn't take the risk to help a fugitive.
Principal Chen paused for a moment and said, "Sun Yaozu became an innocent person. He swaggered back home and started a big construction project. He held a big banquet and became a famous big boss in town. His actions were very high-profile. It was as if he had found a big backer. "
This analysis caught a point. The two elders looked at each other and revealed a smile of understanding.
Principal Chen sighed and said, "This jade pendant is indeed a disaster. Ye Zhifan is holding it now and thinks that he got a treasure. When he gets too high and falls, he will know how miserable it is."
