2463 The Biggest Secret

She would rely on her capability to catch the attention of the military’s higher-ups and occupy a position that no one dared to touch. If she investigated the truth behind her mother’s sacrifice then, the resistance she would face would be lesser.

That was the truth.

The military and the Military Discipline Commission’s involvement allowed her to stay out of this matter and not be targeted by the forces behind the jade. It was all because… the military was protecting her.

Captain Xia reported everything to Commander Xia. Commander Xia then reported it to the Military Discipline Commission. The Military Discipline Commission secretly formed an investigation team to protect her.

Hence, no matter how much she wanted to know who killed her mother, she couldn’t let down the people protecting her because of her rashness.

Facing Ye Zhifan’s temptation, Ye Jian became calmer and calmer. The ‘apple’ he handed to her was fragrant and sweet. It was filled with temptation. However, when recalling so many people’s concerns and worries for her, she had to reject the sweet apple.

In her heart, she had already rejected him. On the surface… she needed to look a little emotional.

This way, Ye Zhifan would have the motivation to continue speaking. As for how true or fake his words were, she would slowly think about it afterward.

Five minutes pa.s.sed. Ye Zhifan was a little anxious when he saw how calm Ye Jian was.

Yes, that was right.

Ye Jian wasn’t Sun Ying. After her transformation in junior high, everything she did and said made things difficult for him. From this, he could tell that she was a mature girl. He couldn’t coax her like a child.

In addition, she had always known that the Ye family harmed her mother and that the Ye family wronged her.

It was even more impossible for her to agree with him by just saying a few things that would pique her interest.

Suddenly, he leaned toward Ye Jian and lowered his voice. “Your mother didn’t sacrifice herself. Someone killed her. The person who killed your mother is none other than the person who helped me and Sun Yaozu.”

What did Ye Jian want to know? Ye Zhifan couldn’t tell what she wanted to know from her face. He could only probe and tell her what he knew to determine what she wanted to know.

Everything he said so far was useless. But he didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be interested in what he just said!

“Ye Jian, you don’t need the jade, and you don’t have to find your biological father. But don’t you want to know who killed your mother? The letter not only emphasized the jade but also told me clearly that your mother didn’t have long to live!”

After saying so much and waiting for so long, Ye Zhifan finally saw the emotions in Ye Jian’s eyes.

Her calm gaze suddenly shot over like a cold arrow. The coldness in it made his back turn cold.

The iron chains under his feet clanged. Ye Zhifan was shocked by her gaze. He moved his feet unconsciously and adjusted his sitting position.

Ye Zhifan heaved a sigh of relief.

He finally made a breakthrough!

This was good!

This was his biggest bargaining chip!

But before that, he needed her to agree to his request before telling her the biggest… secret he knew.

Ye Zhifan calmed himself down and said in a low voice, “If you want to know, I’ll tell you everything I’ve found out over the years. The deal I want to make with you is very simple…”
