Chapter 1988 Enlightenment

“Falling into the water, fighting… All these accidents can easily take down a two or three-year-old child. But why didn’t he do anything? Why did he only let Ye Zhifan and his family beat me, scold me, and torture me?

“Does he feel a sense of accomplishment for raising me into a useless person?” In her previous life, she became a useless person. In the end, she was chased around like a stray dog by Ye Ying until she died of humiliation. Was that what that person wanted?

“I can’t figure it out, Uncle Chen. I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I still can’t figure it out.”

After listening to her a.n.a.lysis, Princ.i.p.al Chen could not calm down for a long time. He simply grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it on his face. The cold feeling could at least give his brain a trace of calmness. He asked her in a low voice, “Girl, why did you think so much about it? After listening to your a.n.a.lysis, I vaguely feel that there are more secrets that can’t be revealed regarding your mother’s sacrifice.”

“That night, before I dealt with Sun Yaozu, I intentionally tried to sound him out. Sun Yaozu was afraid of death and wanted me to spare his life, so he told me about what he knew from the past.”

She summarized Sun Yaozu’s words to Princ.i.p.al Chen. Her voice was cold and indifferent. Princ.i.p.al Chen’s face became darker and darker.

After about five minutes, Princ.i.p.al Chen’s expression turned cold and serious. “Girl, if possible, I suggest you mention this to Captain Xia.

“When your mother was alive, the military unit erased all of her achievements. It’s obvious that this person is in the military unit. This time, someone even helped Sun Yaozu regain his ident.i.ty and asked him to monitor Ye Zhifan. From this, we can tell that this person has been paying attention to you. If Ye Zhifan is also that person’s subordinate, he must be suspicious of Ye Zhifan.

“Maybe it’s because you’re considered to be successful now. He suspects that Ye Zhifan wants to nurture your talent, so he stopped trusting Ye Zhifan and sent Sun Yaozu to monitor him.”

Princ.i.p.al Chen was also a person with logical thinking. In addition, with his life experience, his a.n.a.lysis often went straight to the point. He could immediately find the crux of the problem.

Ye Jian suddenly understood why Sun Yaozu wanted to monitor Ye Zhifan.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something. Her dark eyes flashed like a shooting star, and even her tone became much lighter. “I figured it out, Uncle Chen!”

“Figured what out?” Princ.i.p.al Chen couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the excited Ye Jian. “You’re so happy all of a sudden. What did you figure out?”

Ye Jian was very excited as if she had found something exciting. “As long as we find out the reason why he only wanted to support me but doesn’t dare to kill me, then we’ll have nothing to fear!”

What was there to be happy about? It would only make his mood heavier.

Princ.i.p.al Chen didn’t interrupt her happiness. He looked kindly at the girl who was able to restrain herself after being willful. “If only I knew why he’s so concerned about you.”

“He must have some reservations about me, so he can’t do anything to me yet. Or rather, the time isn’t ripe yet. He has to keep me around first. He’ll only act when the time is ripe.”

Princ.i.p.al Chen nodded.

The little girl was quite optimistic. However, what she said made sense. It must be because he had some misgivings about the little girl that he didn’t really dare to make a move.
