That time, when Commander Liu came back from the martyr memorial park, he thought for almost an entire night before deciding to remain silent and observe for a while.

If it worked, he would stay. If it didn’t work, he would talk to Grandpa Gen about his thoughts. With Grandpa Gen’s character, he definitely wouldn’t let that girl stay.

Unexpectedly, when he went back, Old Yan, who returned to the military unit earlier than him, told him happily that Grandpa Gen’s granddaughter was really impressive. Genius, she was definitely a genius!

Old Yan had never praised someone so happily in front of him. For a moment, he was a little curious.

After seeing her and understanding the situation, he was shocked.

They were right!

That girl was a genius!

Commander Liu, who was a little emotional, coughed softly. The cough was very loud. Ye Jian was so anxious that she hurriedly said to the prison guard, “Can you pour a glass of water?”

The prison guard didn’t reject her. He poured a glass of water for Commander Liu. Commander Liu took the water and saw Ye Jian’s worried gaze. The torture in his heart made him want to go to the execution ground now.

After drinking half a glass of water, Commander Liu lowered his head and buried it in his arms. His slow voice was filled with pain. “At that time, I was glad that your mother was buried as a martyr before she died. If not, she would have dragged you down. No matter how talented you were, you wouldn’t have been able to enter the military unit.”

Ye Jian felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest.

It wasn’t that Commander Liu didn’t want to say it, but in his heart… her mother wasn’t a martyr. She was a spy.

Li Chuhai!

Li Chuhai!

‘I let you off too easily by letting you die so quickly!’

Her chest was stuffy, but there seemed to be something burning in her heart. It burned until her organs hurt. Her mother… even when she died, she had to bear the responsibility of an unfounded crime. ‘Li Chuhai, you’re really despicable!’

At this moment, Commander Liu’s chest heaved up and down violently. He couldn’t even speak. He hated himself. Why didn’t he say anything? Why didn’t he ask?

As the skinny and weak girl grew up day by day, he vaguely knew some things. He knew that Ye Jian suspected that her mother didn’t die on a mission. After knowing a little, he wanted to have a secret chat with Ye Jian. However, he was worried that if she knew, she would hate her mother. After thinking about it, he chose to hide it.

Hatred! Too much hatred!

He should have said something!

He should have said something!

Commander Liu, who was holding his hair tightly in hatred, heard Ye Jian ask him softly, “Did you never think that my mother wasn’t a spy? Also, did you have to change your job because Li Chuhai came back?”

Commander Liu hated himself so much that he wanted to slap himself. “No, I never suspected anything. Your mother and I were not from the same military unit. When I found out that your mother was a spy, besides what Li Chuhai said, your mother’s leaders told me the same thing too.

“I received an order, and I had to execute it secretly. Later, your mother suddenly spoke to a suspect surnamed Sun. I kept an eye on her and carried out the order. After I made the shot, I was evacuated right on the heels of that. Then, I was transferred away…

“My job change had nothing to do with Li Chuhai. It was a normal transfer. If I didn’t know about these things, I would’ve forgotten about Li Chuhai.”

In other words, after Commander Liu obeyed the order and fired his gun, he was immediately transferred away. He didn’t know what happened after that. Hence, until he was arrested, he still thought that her mother was a spy.

It wasn’t that Commander Liu was too stupid. It was just that the enemy was too cunning.
