Chapter 1991 Rapid Progress
The Military Disciplinary Committee was no ordinary organization. Even if the highest-ranking officer made a mistake, the Military Disciplinary Committee would still be the one to handle it.
Ye Jian was worried. However, when she heard Commissioner Cai’s cheerful voice on the phone last night, he didn’t seem tired at all. Instead, he laughed loudly and talked to her. Sometimes, he would say something irrelevant… He was saying those things to the people around him, but he was also indirectly telling her that he was fine. It was just that his personal freedom was restricted.
“Uncle Chen, you’ve been worried about me for the entire day over my mother’s case. This time, I have a feeling that the Military Disciplinary Committee will interfere… Just as Commissioner Cai said, this is a good thing.
“I just don’t quite understand. It’s not the first or second day since my mother’s past achievements were erased by the military unit. Why do you think the Military Disciplinary Committee is suddenly launching an investigation? Could it be…” Ye Jian’s voice got lower and lower. Her pupils suddenly constricted, and her fingers couldn’t help but tremble as if she had discovered something big.
The sudden silence made Principal Chen, who was driving the car, take a quick look at her. He saw that her face was as dark as a gloomy cloud. There were faint traces of thunder. He immediately asked her, “What?” “Could it be that… the person has come to the military headquarters? The General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, and the General Armaments Department… Is that person in one of these four great institutions?”
This was the only way to suppress the matter of her mother’s past in the army. He had the ability to suppress it so that no one would find out!
“Girl, your guesses always make me break out in a cold sweat.” Principal Chen couldn’t help but tighten the steering wheel as he drove steadily. He looked ahead with a firm stare, causing a few wrinkles to appear at the corners of his eyes. “Don’t make wild guesses for now. We might have an answer when you get to the Military Disciplinary Committee.
“You said that the Military Disciplinary Committee didn’t investigate this before. Now that they’ve suddenly started investigating, I feel that Captain Xia might be involved. However, Captain Xia is still a major. The possibility of him attacking is low… I’m afraid it might be Commander Xia.”
Ye Jian was stunned. “You mean… Commander Xia raised the issue of my mother to the Military Disciplinary Committee?”
This… This was too shocking! She believed that Captain Xia would raise the issue to the Military Disciplinary Committee, but Commander Xia… She really didn’t dare to believe it.
However, she had to believe it even if she couldn’t. When they arrived at their destination, Ye Jian saw a familiar figure standing there with his hands behind his back. The tall figure stood like a tall mountain. The soldiers around him were so powerful that the sentinels on both sides of him were standing stiffly. Seeing Ye Jian getting out of the car, Commander Xia, who had been waiting for almost ten minutes, walked over. The golden military rank on his epaulet followed him as he walked with big strides.
Ye Jian didn’t dare to let the commander in chief pick her up. She hurriedly ran over. When she was a certain distance away, she followed the military salute and stood straight. She saluted and greeted the commander in chief who was walking over. Her breathing was heavy as she said in a cold voice, “Ye Jian, a first-year cadet of the National Science University. Report! Hello, Commander in Chief!”
“Happy New Year.” Commander Xia smiled and returned the greeting. He saw that Ye Jian looked more mature than before. He was happy. “You’re really early. Weren’t you told last night that there’s no hurry? You could rest first before coming.”
This was the girlfriend his son had taken a fancy to and the daughter-in-law he was satisfied with. As a father, it was only right for him to show concern.
