Just like the fire in Chief Cai's eyes, because Principal Chen did not answer for a long time, it went from bright to dark and eventually turned into ashes. There was not a trace of light left.
"Brother, you don't believe me, right?" Chief Cai sighed heavily, the corners of his mouth full of bitterness. "Yes, it's been almost 20 years. Who would believe me? If I don't believe it myself, who will believe what I say? "
Chief Cai, who had retired from the military and relied on his own abilities to get to where he was today, sighed heavily again, as if he wanted to spit out all the pent-up sorrow in his heart. "It's been almost 20 years. If it wasn't for Ye Chien's appearance, perhaps I would have been so muddle-headed for the rest of my life."
"Before Hong Mei left, she said that if she sacrificed herself, she asked our comrades in the military to take good care of her daughter. Brother, we didn't agree and even said that she was overthinking things. Who knew that she already had a premonition that she would sacrifice herself? "
The fire burned too brightly. Principal Chen used a pair of tongs to take out a piece of firewood and then used the ashes to extinguish the flames. Principal Chen's voice came through the subtle movements. "When she left the village, she actually left with the thought that she would die. Because at that time, Ye Chien's mother already had a vague idea that she might not be able to return."
Principal Chen's expression did not change much when he said such a big thing, because he already knew a thing or two from Uncle Gen.
Chief Cai's face was full of shock. He thought that even Ye Chien did not know, but now that he heard that she actually had a vague idea, the extinguished fire in Chief Cai's eyes burned brighter and brighter than before.
Principal Chen looked at him quietly and said softly, "Don't worry, the Ye girl will investigate thoroughly. But we hope that at least two years after she graduates from the military academy and has a firm foothold in the military before investigating her mother's matter. "
"We didn't tell the Ye girl because this child has her suspicions. And she already has a suspect, but she can't get away to investigate at the moment. " Principal Chen's face darkened slightly as he spoke slowly. His calm tone was laced with a hint of coldness. "We will investigate it thoroughly, but not now."
Chief Cai couldn't accept it. "Since you already know, why not now? It's been so many years. If we don't investigate further, it's very likely that we'll never find out who the real culprit is! "
"If Ye Chien is being targeted right now, and if she makes a move, she will be hurt. Are you willing to see that happen?" Principal Chen's words made the sharpness in Chief Cai's eyes suddenly sink, forcing him to suppress all of his anger.
After taking a deep breath, he asked, "It seems that the real culprit is already in a very high position! In the third year after Hongmei's death, a group of our comrades retired. In September, we wrote a letter to the town, and in early October, we received a reply saying that Ye Chien had 'died young' after falling into the water. "
"At the end of December, we sent a retired comrade to Fujun Town to investigate personally. He also received news that Ye Chien had 'died young'. After that, we didn't inquire further, and we all believed that the news was true."
"When I met Ye Chien in Tongzhou, she told me personally that she thought it was a miracle that she was able to survive safely. From that, I knew that someone had been secretly preventing us from inquiring about Ye Chien. They even bribed the comrades we sent to confirm the news, so that we would completely believe that the daughter of Hongmei had 'died young' after falling into the water."
"Then, Brother, you said that Ye Chien is being targeted right now, and if she makes a move, she will be hurt. This is the thing that our old comrades don't want to see the most! The real culprit is preventing us from meeting Ye Chien because they're afraid that we'll tell Ye Chien about Hongmei's death back then. "
