Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just like the fire in Commissioner Cai’s eyes, because he didn’t get Principal Chen’s reply for a long time, the fire in the kitchen turned from bright to dark and finally turned into ashes. There was no longer any starlight.

“Brother, you don’t believe me, right?” Commissioner Cai sighed heavily. There was a bitter smile on his face. “That’s right. It’s been almost twenty years. Who will believe me? I don’t believe it. Who will believe what I say?”

Commissioner Cai, who retired from the military and got to where he was today based on his own capabilities, sighed heavily again. It seemed like he wanted to spit out all the sorrows in his heart. “It’s been almost twenty years. If Ye Jian didn’t appear, I might have lived my life in confusion.”

“Before Hongmei left, she said that if she died, she would ask her comrades to take care of her daughter. Brother, we disagreed. We even said that she was overthinking. Who knew that she had a premonition that she would die.”

The fire was too strong. Principal Chen took out a piece of firewood and used the ashes to extinguish it. Principal Chen’s voice was heard. “When she left the village, Ye Jian’s mother already knew that she might not be able to come back.”

Principal Chen’s expression didn’t change much when he heard such a huge matter. He had already learned something from Grandpa Gen.

Commissioner Cai was shocked. He thought that Ye Jian didn’t know about it. Now, when he heard that she had noticed it, the fire in Commissioner Cai’s eyes started burning again. It was brighter than before.

Principal Chen looked at him quietly and said softly, “Don’t worry. Ye Jian will investigate it. However, we hope that she will be able to stabilize her position in the military unit two years after she graduates from the military school before investigating her mother’s death.”

“She has someone she suspects too. It’s just that she can’t investigate now.” Principal Chen’s face was slightly dark as he spoke slowly. His tone was calm but cold. “We will investigate everything, but it’s not the right time.”

Commissioner Cai couldn’t accept it. “Since you already know, why not now? It has been so many years. If we don’t investigate further, we might never be able to find the real culprit!”

“If Ye Jian is targeted, she will be hurt. Are you willing to see that?” Principal Chen’s words caused Commissioner Cai’s gaze to turn sharp. He suppressed his anger.

After taking a deep breath, he asked, “It looks like the mastermind is already standing at a very high position! In the third year after Red Plum died, a group of our comrades retired. We wrote a letter to the town in September and received a reply at the beginning of October that Ye Jian ‘died’ because she fell into the water.”

“At the end of December, we sent a retired comrade to Fujun Town to ask around personally. We also received news that Ye Jian had ‘died.’. After that, we didn’t ask around anymore. We all thought that this was true.”

“When I met Ye Jian in Tongzhou, she told me personally that it was a miracle that she survived unscathed. I knew that someone was secretly stopping us from finding out about Ye Jian. They even bribed our comrades who were sent over to confirm the news so that we could completely believe that the daughter of Red Plum fell into the water and died.”

“That’s why you said that Ye Jian is being targeted now. Once she makes a move, she will be hurt.. This is the last thing we want to see! The mastermind stopped us from meeting Ye Jian because he was afraid that we would tell Ye Jian that there was something suspicious about Hongmei’s death.”
