With Du Jiayi’s persuasion, Madam Li gradually calmed down. She still wanted to go back to her mother’s house to take a look, but Du Jiayi stopped her. She said, “Mom, if you go to Grandma’s house today, what about Dad? What will Brother think? Uncle deserved it. What’s the use of you going over now?
“Also, didn’t you hear what Dad said just now? Uncle’s matter hasn’t been made public. If you go over immediately, how will you answer if someone asks you how you found out about this?
“If you say that Grandma told you, will other people believe you? No, other people won’t believe you. They’ll only think that Dad told you. Since it’s something that hasn’t been made public, it’s classified information. You don’t belong to the organization. How could you know about the secrets? They’ll think that Dad told you.
“If you go to Grandma’s house today, you’ll undoubtedly be helping outsiders harm Dad.”
Du Jiayi’s words shocked Madam Li so much that she sat on the sofa without moving for a long time. After a while, Madam Li, whose eyes were red, smiled bitterly. “Go back to your room. I want to be alone.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I won’t be rash. Go back to your room. I want to calm down.” 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com
She wanted to calm down and think about what crime her younger brother had committed. Why did the military chase after him at all costs?
Too many things had happened in the past two days. Before the matter was settled, there were ripples again. Her head was in a mess. She needed to be quiet.
The Li and Du families were in turmoil because of Li Chuhai’s death. Ye Jian, who was parting ways with her comrades, didn’t rush back to the capital city immediately. She was a student participating in the exchange meeting for three days. Today was only the second day. How could she return early?
Pigeon, White Crane, and the other five comrades didn’t need to say anything after completing their mission. They went ashore and left quickly. The higher-ups would take care of the rest.
This was also why Old Master Li and the rest didn’t know which special forces unit had surrounded Li Chuhai. The Xueyu unit was a military unit that didn’t belong to any military unit. It didn’t even exist in the company’s military system. No matter how capable Old Master Li was, he wouldn’t know.
After waiting for the entire night, Mr. Fu already knew that Ye Jian had completed her mission. He was already waiting outside the guest reception center building. When he saw his daughter walking over, Mr. Fu took a few steps forward.
When Ye Jian saw Mr. Fu walking over hurriedly, she couldn’t help but smile and quicken her pace.
She walked over with a smile on her face. Her dark eyes were clear and as bright as a mirror. “Dad, don’t tell me you’ve been waiting all night? Your dark eye circles are bigger than mine!”
Mr. Fu, who had been nervous the entire night, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You should go back to your room and rest for a while. We’ll gather at the military port at 1:30 pm.”
Due to an accident, they couldn’t enter or leave the port for the time being. Hence, they canceled their schedule in the morning and would go to the military port in the afternoon.
The leaders and the three male students heaved a sigh of relief when they knew that Ye Jian came back unscathed. In the afternoon, when they were taking the bus, they asked her a few questions. Ye Jian smiled and said, “I just hid on the ship and didn’t dare to come out. They found the freighter following my cell phone signal. Later, I heard gunshots. When I came out again, the freighter was clean. Even now, I only know that the military wanted to catch a very important criminal. I don’t know anything else.”
After she finished speaking, she whispered, “I wonder who it was…”
