His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to have aged a lot. Even his spirit and energy were muddled…
“Uncle Liu, are you… alright?” Ye Jian asked softly. Her many questions turned into a greeting. Even though she was facing mander Liu, the person who shot her mother in the back, Ye Jian still remembered his kindness to her.
When mander Liu heard that the way she addressed him had changed from ‘mander Liu’ to ‘Uncle Liu’, tears welled up in his eyes.
This girl… This girl… Why didn’t she hate him? Why didn’t she scold him? Why was she still concerned about him? Why was this girl… so heartbreaking?
“Girl, you must know that I’m the bastard who shot Martyr Sun Xueqing in the back. I was the one who killed your mother. Girl, I was the one who fired the gun… I was the one who fired the gun.”
At this point, mander Liu’s bloodshot eyes were filled with tears. “It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. If I had been a little more mature and reported the situation to my superiors, what happened back then wouldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t have caused you to be orphaned at such a young age.
“Girl, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault… Apply to the military and sentence me to death quickly. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry to you, Martyr Sun Xueqing, and Grandpa Gen…
“I’m a sinner. I’m a sinner… Hurry up and let the military sentence me to death. In the afterlife, I’ll kowtow and plead guilty to Martyr Sun Xueqing and Grandpa Gen.”
When mander Liu was arrested, he didn’t know what mistake he made. Hence, he was very calm along the way. When he arrived in the capital city, he understood what was going on after the investigation, questioning, and trial.
At that time, he was indeed obeying orders. He did not intentionally carry out murder.
When he heard Ye Jian ask, “Uncle Liu, are you alright?”, her caring voice made him collapse.
Ye Jian saw that mander Liu was crying until the veins on his neck were bulging. His shoulders were shaking too.
She could see regret, guilt, and self-blame from mander Liu’s endless tears and sorrowful expression. She wanted to fort him, but she couldn’t say anything…
Facing mander Liu, who killed her mother, Ye Jian only thought that fate sure made a fool of people sometimes. f𝐫e𝚎we𝚋n𝐨𝘃el.𝗰𝗼𝐦
Ye Jian sniffled and slowly approached the glass wall. She asked mander Liu in a hoarse voice, “Uncle Liu, did you… already know whose daughter I was?”
The man, who was wiping his eyes, nodded with bloodshot eyes. “Yes, I knew it a long time ago. Coincidentally, I went to the provincial office and brought your photo to the martyr memorial park. That day, I knew whose daughter you were.”
At the mention of the past, mander Liu’s emotions gradually calmed down. He would tell the girl everything she wanted to know in detail and not hide anything.
“Seven years ago, Grandpa Gen came to me and said, ‘mander Liu, I have an orphaned granddaughter by my side. She’s a good talent. She has a good memory, quick reaction, and can endure hardships. I want to apply to bring her to the military unit to study. She’ll follow me around the gun and ammunition depot. What do you think?’ At that time, Uncle Gen stayed in the unit as a master sergeant. Since Uncle Gen said so, I didn’t reject him.”
At that time, Uncle Gen had already retired. He was able to enter the military unit because the military unit needed him. That was why he continued to stay. At that time, mander Liu didn’t dare to offend Grandpa Gen.
