At noon, Ye Chien and Xia Jinyuan needed to return to Beijing. They had originally planned to visit Principal Chen at the sniper base, but they realized they didn't have enough time. It would take them an hour and a half to drive from here to the sniper base, and it would take about two and a half hours to get to the airport from the sniper base. The 1 p.m. flight was so tight that there wasn't any time left. If they really went there, they would definitely miss the flight.
Ever since Principal Chen received the notice from the military, he had been staying at the sniper base and didn't go anywhere. He loved the army, loved training, and loved working with the sniper rifle that had been with him for his entire life. Even if he didn't leave the military base for the rest of his life, Principal Chen would still be happy.
Furthermore, the base had just received a new batch of the latest large-caliber sniper rifles from various countries. As such, Principal Chen didn't want to leave the base even more. When Ye Chien called, Principal Chen was still talking to the two instructors at the base. He was enjoying himself and wasn't affected at all.
When he received Ye Chien's call, Principal Chen's voice was as deep as a bell. Just hearing his voice made Ye Chien feel a lot more at ease.
She was worried that Principal Chen's mood would be affected by his identity being exposed, so when she heard his voice, she immediately felt relieved.
"You don't have to rush over. I'm fine here. It's fine if I don't go out. I'm already at the age where I don't like to move around. I'm cooped up in the base every day, guarding the rifle and watching the soldiers train. I feel more at ease than ever.
"It's fine if your identity is exposed. I'm already so old, so what's there to be afraid of? I wasn't afraid when I was young, so I'm even less afraid now that I'm old."
Even if she didn't ask anything, he could tell what the child was thinking just by listening to her voice when he was talking to her.
Ye Jian was a kind girl who valued friendship and loyalty. She knew how to repay kindness. How could she not know what Ye Jian was worried about?
She really didn't have to worry. It wasn't a big deal if he didn't go out. He wasn't willing to leave the army anyway.
Principal Chen didn't have a shadow in his heart. He laughed and said, "I've decided to stay here. I won't go anywhere. I'll stay here and guard the base. Girl, this is Uncle Chen's roots, Uncle Chen's home. My home and roots are both here. Uncle Chen will guard it happily."
"You, don't worry about me. Take good care of yourself. Come and visit Uncle Chen when you're free. If you're not, call me once in a while to tell me that you're safe. I'll be happy to know how you're doing."
Principal Chen, who had walked through the battlefield of life and death, was very open-minded. He looked at everything indifferently, even life and death.
It was fine if his identity was exposed, but he was worried that Ye Chien would be implicated.
When Ye Chien said that he didn't have time to come over, it was exactly what he wanted.
"Don't come over for the next one or two years. Uncle Chen isn't worried about his identity being exposed, but he's worried about you. Sun Ying is so close to you. If she lets the cat out of the bag and implicates you … that's what I'm most worried about. "
Ye Chien wasn't worried about herself at all. She was studying in the strict military academy. It was very difficult for the outside world to affect her. If someone really came to cause trouble for her, she would be happy!
She would be more than happy to divert the attention from Uncle Chen to her and shield Uncle Chen from the storm.
But Ye Chien couldn't say these words to Principal Chen. If he did, Principal Chen would be even more worried.
She smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, don't worry. Sun Ying's side is clean. They didn't find anything on my side either. Take good care of yourself. I'll definitely come and visit you when I have time."
