Chapter 1357: Plan
The funeral was coming to an end. After Commissar Yan finished the last eulogy, the four lieutenants walked to the grave with two wreaths in their hands. They placed the wreaths and saluted. The entire military unit saluted the old squad leader for the last time too. The old squad leader, who had dedicated his entire life to the military, would forever rest here.
It only took half a day for Uncle Gen to be buried. Everything was done according to Uncle Gen’s wishes and they accompanied Uncle Gen on his last journey.
Ye Jian watched as the soldiers left one by one. She whispered to Xia Jinyuan, “I want to accompany Grandpa alone. Captain Xia, please tell the lieutenant general. Thank you.”
She hadn’t had a good chat with Uncle Gen since she came back. She wanted to tell him what kind of training she had during the summer vacation. She really wanted to be alone with him and tell him everything in her heart.
Xia Jinyuan looked at Ye Jian intently. He raised his hand and touched her cheeks with his slender fingers. He said softly, “Okay, we will wait for you outside the memorial park. Ye Zhifan is still outside. I will go out and settle his matters first.”
“Okay. Remember to hide your identity. Ye Zhifan is cunning and shrewd. Be careful not to get tricked by him,” reminded Ye Jian.
Ye Zhifan was a calculative person. He was able to figure out a thing or two from just a few words. When talking to him, one needed to guard one’s front line first.
He continued, “He got close to the commander-in-chief probably because he wanted to send Ye Ying into the military unit. There are so many high-ranking officers in the military unit today. We must be wary of him pretending and letting other people think that he is close to the commander-in-chief.”
Ye Jian had never let down her guard against Ye Zhifan. However, she always remembered what Uncle Gen said. She should lay low until she reaches a position that Ye Zhifan couldn’t touch.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t want her to worry so he stroked her eyebrows. “I know. Have a good chat with Uncle.”
Ye Jian believed in Xia Jinyuan’s ability. She gently moved his hand away and smiled. “Go. Thank you for the trouble.” With him around, Ye Zhifan wouldn’t be able to cause too much trouble.
Ye Jian looked up slightly. The smile on her face got deeper. She asked Xia Jinyuan, who had not left, “When did T6 come?”
“He’s staying in Fujun Town for the summer vacation. He will only return to the military unit in the middle of September.” Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows when he saw his comrade guarding An Jiaxin closely. It seemed like he was really planning to woo An Jiaxin.
“I’ll go over first. I’ll pick you up in an hour?”
Ye Jian looked at the time. “There’s no need to fetch me. I will come down myself. Captain Xia, please help me take care of Uncle Chen. I’m a little worried.” Uncle Chen hid his sadness deeply in order not to let her worry. However, no matter how deep he hid it, she could still see it from his tired eyes.
She always took care of the people around her and cared about those who cared about her.
“Okay. You don’t have to worry about what’s happening outside. I’ll take care of everything.” The soldiers had already left. Xia Jinyuan patted her shoulder lightly and turned to leave.
The surroundings became quiet. At six o’clock in the evening, the golden and orange sunset spread out beautifully. The faint golden light also fell, illuminating the mountain and the water as if it was plated with thin gold, making them look more magnificent.
The sun had already sunk completely. A crescent moon was already hanging in the sky. Half of the sky was cold while the other half was like fire. The beauty of these two different sky sceneries was something even a master would find hard to draw.
