Chapter 3461: Inappropriate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As she said this, she had already eliminated a few of her friends who knew her family well. There was no need to consider those who knew her from junior high and senior high. That meant that she only got to know that person when she was in university..
There was no need to consider He Jing and Xu Wen. Her classmates… It was impossible for the military to be so cautious about them. In that case, there was only the person closest to her.
Who was the person closest to her?
There were too many people closest to her. Ye Jian couldn’t guess it for a while.
However, her frowning expression made Xia Jinyuan’s heart jump. Walking on an empty street in the middle of the night and being exposed to the cold wind, his palms were sweating even though it was so cold.
She wouldn’t be able to guess who it was for a while, but he believed that she would be able to guess it soon.
However, this time, Xia Jinyuan had obviously overestimated Ye Jian. She really couldn’t guess who was the person close to her who had connections with the mastermind who caused her mother’s death.
“Stop guessing. Since the military wants to hide the information, they naturally have their reasons. Let’s go back to the small hotel and rest for the night.
Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the martyr park to pay our respects to
Mother-in-law and Grandpa Gen. We still need to rush back to the capital city.
“You might return to the base to continue your training, or you might stay in the capital city and wait for school to start. As for me, I should be going on a long trip.”
The mastermind had escaped, and the power behind him was so complicated. It was time for the special forces of the Xueyu unit to take action. The military was still a little nervous if other special forces were to take action.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t say anything else. Ye Jian continued to use the elimination method to find out who the mastermind was. Between the two, one of them deliberately chose not to reveal the answer while the other pondered it silently. They returned to the small hotel without speaking.
Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian had slept in swamps before, so they weren’t picky about this small hotel. However, they still paid more attention to hygiene.
Facing the yellowed blanket and bedsheets, the two of them sat on a chair and turned on the small electric heater in the room. They slept together with their clothes on.
After a few minutes, Xia Jinyuan moved his long legs and tilted his head to ask Ye Jian, who was sleeping with her head on his shoulder, “Why don’t we go to a hotel?”
Although they had slept in the wild, it felt better to sleep in the wild than in this small hotel.
The soundproofing… was really too bad. It was so bad that one could hear sounds from above and the sides.
Although Ye Jian had returned to the small hotel, she hadn’t done anything. She was still thinking about who knew the mastermind. As she thought about it, she figured out another key point.
To be able to cause her mother’s death and erase all her mother’s past deeds in the military unit, this person must have a high position in the family!
At the thought of this, she narrowed the scope and started to get closer to the truth.
When Xia Jinyuan asked this question, she was still thinking about it. Ye Jian, who was too serious, didn’t hear the commotion around her. Hearing Xia Jinyuan’s question, she closed her eyes and replied, “Sorry to trouble you. This is the old district. The better hotels are all in the new district. There are no cars at night. As for taking a taxi… What’s that sound?”
As she spoke, Ye Jian finally heard an abnormal sound. It sounded as if something kept bumping into the walls.
Right on the heels of that, a woman’s soft cry was heard. Ye Jian opened her eyes immediately. Then… she slowly raised her head from Xia Jinyuan’s shoulder. Her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That sound… Cough… It was an indescribable and inappropriate sound..
