Chapter 1995 Anger
Senior Colonel Tan, who really wanted to test her, could not help but sit up straight. He looked at the cadet with a serious gaze. At this moment, Senior Colonel Tan no longer had a faint smile on his face. On the contrary, his expression was solemn and cold.
“Ye Jian, how much do you know?” he asked again. He didn’t probe anymore but asked directly. Looking at Ye Jian, he could make out that he had all the qualities a soldier should have-toughness, unyieldingness, and disdain for schemes.
It was better to speak to these sorts of people openly.
Ye Jian didn’t like getting probed. Since the Military Disciplinary Committee was interfering in this and the commander in chief had said that they were trustworthy leaders, she believed in the commander in chief’s arrangements, as well as the senior colonel in front of her.
Her clear and bright eyes looked at the senior colonel in a neither servile nor an overbearing manner. She replied calmly, “Commissioner Cai told me a lot of things… There were also some of the things that I had vaguely guessed in the past. I know quite a lot. This time, when I suddenly came to the Military Disciplinary Committee and saw you and the two figures that flashed past the door just now, I’m even more certain that the person who caused my mother’s death has a high military rank.
“Otherwise, why would the leaders of the Military Disciplinary Committee be alerted about this?”
Senior Colonel Tan crossed his arms and placed them on the walnut wood desk. He was shocked. He asked in a deep voice, “As far as I know, Commissioner Cai didn’t say much. Ye Jian, how did you guess it?”
“He didn’t need to say much. I just needed to grasp the main point.”
Faced with the pressure exuding from the senior colonel, Ye Jian replied calmly, “As long as I grasp an important point, I can think about it deeply and come up with all kinds of conjectures that I think are most likely to be true. Chief, it’s not a difficult thing for me.
“First of all, my mother’s past achievements were erased for no reason. No one in the military knew about it, not even the military. This alone shows that this person’s ident.i.ty is not simple.
“Secondly, your appearance, as well as the appearance of the other two generals, shocked me greatly. This shows that my mother’s sacrifice was really not as simple as it seemed.
“Moreover, I know that when my mother was sacrificed, the prime minister had personally covered the flag and instructed the army to take good care of me. However, before my second year of junior high school, I didn’t receive any care from the army.
“In fact, Commissioner Cai and the rest thought that I had fallen into the water and died young. Chief, I’ve made so many guesses throughout this time. It’s just that I couldn’t bring myself to believe in any of them.”
She had guessed many things, but she still could not believe any one of her guesses…
These few simple words made the hearts of all the bureau chiefs feel extremely heavy.
Even though this was the case, she still believed in the army and her country. It meant that even though she had made a lot of guesses, she still could not believe the harsh truth.
Commander Xia’s and Major General Song’s faces sank. How could they let the soldiers who were loyal to their country and the military be disappointed? No way!
“Old Xia, no matter how big the scope of this matter is, the few of us will work together to find out the truth!” Major General Song clenched his fists and slammed the table angrily. “I don’t believe that we won’t be able to find out the truth under strict investigation!”
He was the leader of the investigation team, and the highest-ranked leader had given him full authority to investigate this matter in order to seek justice for Sun Xueqing.
In the meeting room, Ye Jian’s guesses were based on what Commissioner Cai had told her. Her a.n.a.lysis was so logical and flawless that Senior Colonel Tan could only nod his head repeatedly. Occasionally, when she was asked questions, Ye Jian would answer them immediately. She would use her logical reasoning to reason things out again.
