Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1230 - Ye Jian's Suspicion Was Right

Chapter 1230: Ye Jian’s Suspicion Was Right

Kitchens in the countryside were built huge. Green tiles covered the kitchen. Smoke rose from the cracks. Ye Jian added two sticks of firewood to the fire to cook the porridge in the clay pot. The fire shone on her face. The warm light didn’t melt the coldness in her eyes.

Pursing her lips, she answered softly, “I know all about it. They don’t dare to make a big fuss now, and I won’t be relentless. We won’t waste our efforts by acting and making mistakes before the crucial period.”

Sitting in the chair, Uncle Gen stared at the girl that he and Chen Dongfeng had groomed. He coughed softly and revealed a rare serious expression on his face. He looked at Ye Jian and said in a low voice, “Grandpa wants to tell you something. Jian, you have to listen carefully. Before you have completely made sense of everything, you can’t tell anyone about this easily even if it’s Major Xia.”

Ye Jian was stunned. “Go ahead.”

The talk didn’t bring Ye Jian back to her senses even when the porridge burnt. Uncle Gen placed the clay pot aside and looked at Ye Jian with pity. She was still in shock.

“I’m a little confused. Grandpa Gen, I don’t understand.” Ye Jian’s usually calm voice had a trace of panic. There was too much information. Her head was dizzy when Uncle Gen talked about it. She couldn’t figure it out.

Grandpa Gen said that Granduncle and Grandaunt entrusted their only son, Ye Xinfan, to Grandma Ye. In the end, Grandma Ye lost Ye Xinfan and exchanged him for her father.

Before she could digest it, Grandpa Gen threw out another explosive secret and told her that her mother died… possibly because of that ‘jade pendant’!

Why was it so messy, so complicated…? Even Mom’s sacrifice wasn’t simple.

No, no, something was wrong.

Ye Jian raised her head in a panic. Her black eyes were especially bright because of the coldness. She looked at Uncle Gen and said softly, “Grandpa, my dad pa.s.sed away in an accident. My mom died on a mission. Do you remember what Grandma Ye did during that time?”

“Where were Ye Zhixiang and Sun Yaozu? In the village or outside?”

This time, it was Uncle Gen’s turn to be puzzled. He thought for a moment and replied, “Your dad pa.s.sed away and your mom sacrificed within three months of each other. I was busy in the military unit so when I rushed back, I pa.s.sed your mom’s belongings to Sun Dongqing and Ye Zhifan.”

“But I can confirm that Grandma Ye was in the village. Ye Zhixiang and Sun Yaozu didn’t return to the village. Jian, why are you asking this?”

“Grandpa, I suspect that my dad’s death has something to do with Grandma Ye, Ye Zhixiang, and Sun Yaozu.” Ye Jian pressed her lips together. Her eyes were sharp and cold. “I didn’t suspect anything before. But 40 days before the university entrance examination, Grandma Ye barged into the school and wanted to forcefully take my registered residence. In a fit of anger, I brought my parents’ photos out…”

Speaking of this, Ye Jian felt that her throat was as dry as a knife. “I realized that both mother and daughter didn’t dare to look at my father’s photo at all. Ye Zhixiang was guilty and Grandma Ye was relieved. So, I suspect that my father pa.s.sed away unexpectedly… There’s something else going on.”

Uncle Gen, who rarely showed his emotions on his face, heard this and his expression became tense and cold. “Three months after your father pa.s.sed away, your mother called me and said that she was going on a mission. She also told me that if anything happened to her, it might be related to a piece of jade in her hand. Jian, only Grandma Ye knew that your mother left the village and only Grandma Ye knew that your father left the village to work.”
