Chapter 2017: Know Too Much

Xia Yiwei liked Ye Jian’s unpretentious personality. When her family asked her about her, she gave Ye Jian a high evaluation.

She nodded affirmatively and answered her elder brother, who was the most authoritative figure in their generation, “Yes, she’s indeed not bad. You’ll know when Little Six brings her back.”

It made Zhou Yijin click his tongue. “No way! She’s younger than me! And she’s a cadet!… If she wants to come over, do I have to stay away, then?”

“I’ll find a way to get you back so you can learn from Little Six’s girlfriend,” Zhou Yichen said with a smile. His elegant voice was filled with cruelty. “I’ll make you so ashamed.”

The conversation between the two siblings made everyone laugh out loud. The servants in the old mansion couldn’t help but smile when they heard their laughter.

When Ye Jian returned to the hotel, Princ.i.p.al Chen asked her to talk to him.

Looking at Princ.i.p.al Chen’s serious expression, Ye Jian felt scared.

“Just now, Commander Liu mentioned that Ye Zhifan has a relations.h.i.+p with Staff Officer Du. Girl, you seem to have known about it. When did you know about it?”

Princ.i.p.al Chen, who was sitting on the sofa, asked. His voice was very deep. Ye Jian, who was sitting down, felt her heart beating faster. She didn’t know how she had angered Princ.i.p.al Chen. She thought about it… but it didn’t seem to be the case.

Back in the hospital, Captain Xia had told him that he needed to hide this matter from Ye Jian for the time being. Hence, he never once mentioned the relations.h.i.+p between Ye Zhifan and Staff Officer Du.

However, Ye Jian didn’t seem surprised at all. Instead, she seemed to already know about it. But it was impossible that Captain Xia was the one who told her.

So, this was what was going on. Ye Jian pursed her lips slightly. She thought for a while, then told him everything that had happened in the mall today. “…When I left, Sun Dongqing told me that I won’t be happy for long. When Ye Ying enters the military unit, everything will change.

“So, when Commander Liu mentioned that Ye Zhifan has a relations.h.i.+p with Staff Officer Du, I wasn’t surprised.”

Fortunately, she had met Ye Zhifan and the rest in the morning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain why she wasn’t surprised. After all, she had known about it in her previous life.

Her explanation made Princ.i.p.al Chen nod slightly. “I see. That makes sense.

“Since you already know, there’s no need for me to hide some things from you.” Princ.i.p.al Chen told Ye Jian the truth about his conversation with Xia Jinyuan in the hospital.

Regarding Commissioner Cai going to the National Science University to look for Ye Jian and how Sun Yaozu’s matter was settled, Ye Jian now knew everything that Xia Jinyuan had wanted to hide from her.

The only thing she didn’t know was that the reason why Ye Zhifan was able to form a relations.h.i.+p with Staff Officer Du was that he saved his son.

“Captain Xia suspects that both of them are banding together against you and the Xia family. He was afraid that you would be paranoid, so he only mentioned it to me. He wanted to find out more before telling you.

“There’s no need for that now. You already know what we’re trying to hide from you, and the Military Disciplinary Committee is also involved now. I’m not worried that you’ll do something rash because of your mother.

“Also, you can’t blame Captain Xia for not telling you. I saw that you were about to take the exam and told him not to tell you so that you wouldn’t be distracted.” Princ.i.p.al Chen didn’t want the two of them to get into a conflict. “If Captain Xia hadn’t reported your mother’s matters to Commander Xia, I’m afraid the Military Disciplinary Committee wouldn’t have known about this!

“You can’t blame Captain Xia, you should thank him instead.”
