Chapter 2013: Trajectory Of The Past Life
After drinking the cups of tea, it was time to say goodbye. Ye Jian felt that her hand was trembling.
“Come, come, drink, drink. Girl, I don’t know when we’ll meet again. I’ll also give you a toast to your bright future and your rise!” Commissar Yan drank the tea in place of wine. When he put down the teacup, his hands were trembling slightly.
It was unknown when they would meet again, so how could they not feel sad?
Commander Liu saw his old partner turn his head to wipe his tears again. He patted his old partner’s shoulder forcefully and teased, “Every time you send off a retired soldier, you shed the most tears, causing me to have no choice but to cry with you. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll be scolded for being cold-blooded.”
“I still have to see Staff Officer Du tomorrow. Take it easy. Don’t accompany the leaders tomorrow with your swollen eyes.”
Commander Liu’s face darkened at the mention of Staff Officer Du. He asked Commissar Yan, “Old Yan, did you hear who Staff Officer Du was talking to when he left?”
Who was he talking to?
Commissar Yan drank a mouthful of cold water to calm himself down. After thinking for a while, he said, “At that time, you were closest to Staff Officer Du. I was at the back, so I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Ye Jian frowned slightly.
Staff Officer Du?
Surnamed Du?
There was only one staff officer with the surname Du.
Moreover, she had a feud with his daughter.
“Girl, I’m afraid Ye Zhifan hasn’t given up on sending Ye Ying into the military unit. He… might have connections with the Du family.” Commander Liu carefully recalled it again. He didn’t think that he had heard it wrong. “It should be his wife calling him. I heard Ye Zhifan’s name being mentioned.”
It was not very likely, but it was true.
Unexpectedly, one of the leaders Commander Liu and Commissar Yan had to accompany was Staff Officer Du.
Ye Jian didn’t intend to tell them that she knew about Ye Zhifan’s relations.h.i.+p with the Du family. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. Ye Ying has been wanting to enter the military unit for a long time. If she can enter the military unit, it means that Staff Officer Du…”
She didn’t need to finish her sentence. Commander Liu and Commissar Yan frowned. They knew what Ye Jian wanted to say.
“If that’s really the case, we really need to keep a respectful distance,” Commander Liu said in a low voice. He immediately reminded Commissar Yan, “Old Yan, you have to be careful. Don’t get involved in any of his schedules in the Southern Province or the people he’ll meet in the next few days. Otherwise, it might negatively affect you in the future.
“You can find the brigade commander and tell him about it.”
Commissar Yan nodded with a dark face. “I’ll take note. A person with heart disease who framed her cla.s.smate at such a young age can still enter the army? This is really a disgrace to the army.”
“Remember these things, but don’t show it on your face.” Commander Liu was about to switch careers, so the matters in the army had nothing to do with him. However, he was worried about his old partner of ten years. “Stay away and don’t get too close, in case you hear something you shouldn’t hear.”
They were all prepared to leave, but because of the topic of Staff Officer Du, they sat down again and talked for another ten minutes. Finally, they dispersed.
Commander Liu wasn’t the only one who knew that Staff Officer Du had met Ye Zhifan. Xia Yiwei, who was far away in the capital city, knew about it as well.
“Okay, help me keep a close eye on them and remember to take note of what they said. Wait for me to come back,” Xia Yiwei reminded in a low voice. Her mature and charming face was cold as she said, “Don’t let them find out. Remember what’s important.”
