Ye Jian felt as if she had been electrocuted when she saw the person in the photo. Li Chuhai said that she knew the person who shot her mother in the back… Yes, she really knew him. Moreover, they had known each other for a long time. They had known each other for several years!
Back then, she recalled the people around her and even felt that Li Chuhai was lying to her. She thought that he had purposely said that she knew the person who fired the shot. However, it was true. When she recalled how the military had avoided the topic, she knew that what Li Chuhai said was true.
She really knew the person in the photo.
mander Xia saw that the female soldier sitting opposite his desk had turned pale. She bit her lower lip until it turned white. He knew that she couldn’t accept this result.
However, that was the truth.
“He’s not Li Chuhai’s acplice. He was confused and thought that Martyr Sun Xueqing was really a spy. At that time, the situation was quite urgent. He was misled by Li Chuhai, and Li Chuhai let him be privy to some ‘confidential’ information. Those missions entered a sticky situation, and he believed that our army might even be wiped out. He was ordered by Li Chuhai to raise his gun and shoot Martyr Sun Xueqing.
“It’s not his fault. It all started because of Li Chuhai.”
Alas, he knew that once Little Ye knew the truth, she would definitely not be able to accept it. After all, this person had helped Little Ye for a long time. It could be said that Little Ye was able to walk out of the mountains because of him.
“Even when he was arrested, he still thought that Martyr Sun Xueqing was a spy. He never thought that his former leader would use him. We told him the truth. He cried until he broke down, and he said that the biggest victim was you.
“He’s also a victim. From then on, he’s been shackled and feeling guilty for the mistakes he did in the past. His guilty conscience will follow him for the rest of his life.
“If you want to see him… go and see him. He wants to see you too. He has wanted to see you ever since he knew the truth.”
Ye Jian bit her lower lip until teeth marks were visible. She placed the photo back into the folder. Her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings. She closed the folder with a bang. When she looked up, mander Xia saw deep pain flashing in her eyes. Then, there was only darkness. She had already hidden all her emotions.
Those who were familiar with Little Ye knew that she was a child who valued relationships and loyalty. Who would’ve thought that such a thing would happen?
When her future in-laws found out, their first reaction was to ask the military to hide it. At least, they would wait for Li Chuhai to be caught before telling her.
Everyone knew how big a blow this would be to Little Ye. No one dared to let her know immediately. On the night Little Six went overseas, he didn’t forget to call and ask mander Xia to hide it for the time being. It would be even better if it could wait until he came back.
Unfortunately, before Little Six came back, Li Chuhai’s words revealed the truth they were hiding. It pricked a thorn in her heart.
Now, it was unknown if the thorn had been pulled out or if… it had pierced deeper.
Looking at Ye Jian’s ink-black eyes, mander Xia couldn’t understand what she was thinking. The more he couldn’t see through her, the more worried he was.
Ye Jian didn’t think much about it. Shock, sadness, pain, sorrow… All these emotions were like a ball of tangled wool. She couldn’t straighten them out no matter how hard she tried. Her heart felt as if it had been stuffed to the brim, making it difficult for her to even catch her breath.
