Principal Chen didn't know any more than Ye Chien did. After listening quietly, Ye Chien's hands swept across the parallel bars. His fingers lightly grasped the snow that had fallen into his palms as he gazed into the distance.
In front of the sniper base were towering mountains and precipitous ridges. As far as the eye could see, there were only rolling mountains.
On the other side of the mountain, there might be another mountain, or it might be a flat road. Just like her journey today, there might be mountains blocking her way, or there might be a flat road. She didn't know what the future would hold. Now, she only knew to take every step steadily and not leave behind any regrets.
Just like when she took action to get rid of Sun Yaozu, she didn't regret it at all, nor did she leave behind any regrets.
Grasping the present was the foundation of a person's standing.
"Uncle Chen, this person is very likely still in the army. He might even have become a powerful general. His family members are also involved in politics, so their power isn't low either," Ye Chien said in a low voice, his gaze resolute as he gazed into the distance. His tone was very calm, without the slightest ripple.
Hearing this, Principal Chen's expression changed drastically. His tone was very strict as he said, "Chief Cai has been investigating for so long and has no leads. He only has a vague feeling that the person who harmed your mother is still in the army. Little Ye, how did you know?! Are you hiding something from Uncle Chen?! "
His strict tone was filled with deep worry. Ye Chien tilted his head and smiled slightly at this concerned relative. "My stubbornness has caused you to worry during this period of time."
He was afraid that she would do something extreme that would destroy him. Hearing that something was wrong, he immediately became vigilant. Even his usually gentle gaze became exceptionally sharp.
Only a relative who was truly worried about him would have such a big reaction.
Ye Chien didn't have any intention of hiding it from Principal Chen. Since he already knew, rather than let Uncle Chen worry, he might as well tell him the truth.
He told him all his guesses that night. "The reason why I said that this person has military power and his family is involved in politics wasn't without reason. He helped Sun Yaozu go from being a fugitive to a normal citizen. He also helped Ye Zhifan rise to the top. Uncle Chen, from these two things, we can see that his identity is not simple. "
"Since his identity isn't simple, logically speaking, small fries like us shouldn't be able to hinder him. However, everything he has done is inconceivable."
"They all deliberately revealed to Chief Cai that I had fallen into the water and died prematurely, but at the same time spared my life. Uncle Chen, what do you think he wants? My mother let him go through so many twists and turns to take her life. I can still think that my mother might have discovered something about him and brought a certain threat to him. "
"What about me? What threat could I possibly pose to him? Ye Zhifan, Sun Dongqing, and Old Madam Ye treated me like that. I wonder if he was the one who instigated me to live in the past. "
"He secretly spared my life, and also instructed Ye Zhifan's family to raise me until I'm useless. Uncle Chen, am I worth him setting up such a big trap? I don't think so. I don't think I'm worth him spending so much effort to deal with me. "
"But then I thought, since he plotted against my family, can't we say that as long as my family lives, we'll be a threat to him? Speaking of threats, my father passed away early, my mother sacrificed herself, and the adults are no longer alive. What else can threaten him? "
"Me? More than ten years ago, I was only a two or three year old child. What could I possibly threaten him? If he really felt that I was a threat to him, he could have asked Ye Zhifan's family to find a way to deal with me when I was young. "
