Chapter 1987 Why?

Princ.i.p.al Chen didn’t know much more than Ye Jian. After listening quietly, Ye Jian swept her hands over and clenched the snow in her palms tightly. She looked into the distance.

The sniper base was surrounded by mountains and precipitous ridges. One could only see the rolling mountain ranges.

On the other side of the mountains, perhaps there was another mountain, or perhaps it was a flat road. Perhaps it was a mountain blocking her path, or perhaps it was a smooth road. She did not know what the future would be like, but she only knew that she should steadily take it step by step. She should not leave behind any regrets.

It was just like how she killed Sun Yaozu without any regrets.

Taking advantage of the situation was a person’s foundation.

“Uncle Chen, this person might still be in the military unit. He might even be a high-ranking military officer with real power. His family members should be involved in the government too. Their influence is not minimal either,” Ye Jian said in a low voice as she looked ahead of her with determination. Her tone was calm.

Hearing that, Princ.i.p.al Chen’s expression changed drastically. He said in a rather stern tone, “Commissioner Cai has been investigating for so long, but he still has no clue. He only vaguely thinks that the person who harmed your mother is still in the army Girl, how are you so sure? Are you hiding something from me?”

There was deep worry in his stern tone. Ye Jian turned her head and smiled at the family member who cared about her. “I’ve made you worried because of my willfulness.”

He was afraid that she would do something that would ruin her future, so he immediately became vigilant when he heard something unusual. Even his usually gentle gaze became exceptionally sharp.

Only those who were truly worried about their loved ones would have such a huge reaction.

Ye Jian didn’t intend to hide anything from Princ.i.p.al Chen. Since he already knew about it, she might as well tell him the truth rather than let him worry about her.

She told him about her guesses from that night. “The reason why I said that this person has military power is not without reason. He helped Sun Yaozu go from being a fugitive to a normal resident. He also helped Ye Zhifan to rise in status. Uncle Chen, from these two things, I can tell that his ident.i.ty is not simple.

“Since his ident.i.ty isn’t simple, logically speaking, n.o.bodies like us shouldn’t be a hindrance to him. However, everything he does is inconceivable.

“He deliberately revealed to Commissioner Cai that I had fallen into the water and died before confirming things, but at the same time, he spared my life. Uncle Chen, what do you think he’s after? My mother made him spend so much time and effort dealing with her. My mother may have discovered something about him and it posed a threat to him.

“But what about me? What kind of threat can I pose to him? Ye Zhifan, Sun Dongqing, and Grandma Ye all treat him like that. I really wonder if their lives in the past were all because of him.

“He had me stay alive and ordered Ye Zhifan and his family to raise me. Uncle Chen, do I deserve to be involved in such a huge scheme? It’s not worth it. I don’t think I’m worth his effort.

“But since he’s plotting against our whole family, could it be said that as long as our family lives, we’ll always pose a threat to him? Speaking of threats, my father pa.s.sed away early, my mother died, and the adults are no longer alive. What else can threaten him?

“Me? More than ten years ago, I was only two or three years old. What could I possibly threaten him with? If he really felt that I was a threat to him, he could have gotten Ye Zhifan and his family to deal with me when I was still young.”
