Chapter 4570: Cruel Truth
Since Xu Wen asked, Ye Jian didn’t plan to hide it. She just wanted to get to the main point. “He’s not my godfather. He’s my biological father. It’s a little complicated. It has to do with the past generation. It’s too complicated. It can’t be explained in a few words. It’s fine as long as you know that my father is my biological father.”
Xu Wen, who was hiding in the room to make the call, felt dizzy. “It’s indeed complicated. I don’t plan to ask anymore. I’m afraid I’m not smart enough to understand. It’s fine as long as you know that your father is your biological father. You can tell me the other things next time if you want.”
That was Ye Jian’s family matter. As a good friend, she shouldn’t ask for details. She just needed to know the most important thing.
Xu Wen, who had always had a high EQ, stopped asking and quickly changed the topic. “Jian, my parents know that you’re in the capital city and want to ask you out for a meal. I wonder if you have time?”
Tomorrow… she really didn’t have time.
“I’m sorry, Wen. My dad and I haven’t seen each other in a long time. I’ll only be back in the capital city for two days. I’m going to accompany my dad to see his students tomorrow. I’ll be leaving the capital city the day after tomorrow.”
“That fast? That means you won’t have time to grab a meal with us. Alright, I’ll talk to my parents. We still have a lot of chances to have a meal together,” Xu Wen said with a smile. She didn’t force Ye Jian at all. The two of them laughed and chatted for a while before ending the call.
Ye Jian turned around and saw her uncle, Minister Xia, who was supposed to be resting in the pavilion, walking toward her. Ye Jian was about to walk over when Minister Xia waved his hand and gestured for her to stand on the spot.
The location where his niece-in-law answered the call was good. It was suitable for chatting.
Ye Jian knew that her uncle had something to tell her. It might be about the photo she saw during the day.
Minister Xia indeed wanted to talk about the photo. He didn’t say anything when he walked closer. Ye Jian greeted him, and Minister Xia smiled as he nodded his head. Then, he went straight to the point.
“I’m sure you know what I’m going to say. When you were in junior high, you fought with the members of the organization and even worked with Little Six to kill two members. You even have the assassination weapon of one of the female members…”
At the mention of the silver wire, Ye Jian’s heart turned cold. She interrupted Minister Xia anxiously, “Uncle, that’s because I like it…” She didn’t want Xia Jinyuan to be punished because of her, so she quickly took responsibility for intercepting the evidence.
After all, she was still a student at that time. If this matter was escalated, she would at most be criticized harshly. However, Captain Xia was different. He would be punished.
Minister Xia raised his hand and didn’t let Ye Jian continue. “I know what you want to say. I’m not holding you accountable now. I just want to tell you that the organization has never given up on looking for Chen Dongfeng. Many years ago, they found Anyang, which is enough to prove that they were investigating in the right direction. Later, they were intercepted by you and Little Six. They thought that their mission was exposed, so they immediately stopped and lay low.
“A few years later, they made a comeback and killed Chen Dongfeng. Did you think about this in the afternoon? Or perhaps, do you have your own opinion?”
Ye Jian lowered her head. The atmosphere around her turned gloomy. There was sorrow in her eyes. “Uncle, I’ve always wondered why Uncle Chen suddenly came to the capital city from the sniper base without alerting anyone. Previously, I never understood why Uncle Chen knew that there was danger but still came to the capital city.
“It wasn’t until I saw the photo at your place this morning that I… think I understood why Uncle Chen suddenly wanted to come to the capital city and why he didn’t want to alarm anyone. It was because of me… It was all because of me.”
