Chapter 1471: Complicated

"I'm sorry to make you worry. I've been living in Shuikou Village and have never left. When did you come to our village?"

"Some of us retired at the end of the third year after your mother's death. We wrote a letter to the town in September and received a reply at the beginning of October. At the end of December, a retired comrade especially went by before returning home. Only then did we completely believe that you really 'died' due to an accident."

Commissioner Cai let out a long sigh. "Now, I don't understand what's going on. You're still alive. Why did we receive a reply saying that you had an accident? Our comrade also said that you had an accident."

She calculated the time. At that time, she was bullied badly. As a village officer, Ye Zhifan had a close relationship with the Fujun Town government. It was normal for him to reply like this when he received the letter.

The strange thing was, why did his mother's comrades say the same thing?

"If the letter you wrote landed in Ye Zhifan's hands, it's normal for him to reply that I fell into the water and died. To be honest, I feel that it's a miracle that I managed to survive."

Ye Jian said half-jokingly. However, as soon as she spoke, Commissioner Cai's face suddenly turned dark. He asked in a low voice, "Why? Did someone come to look for you?"

In that instant, Ye Jian's heart dropped. There was something wrong with Commissioner Cai's expression and his words!

She was right. There was something suspicious about her mother's sacrifice!

"No one came to look for me. It's just that…." Ye Jian lowered her head. She was thinking about whether she should ask the questions she had to Commissioner Cai. However, could she trust him?

This was their first time meeting. Was she going to ask about the past that might involve many people?

Commissioner Cai lowered his eyes too. Hence, he didn't see the pensive look on Ye Jian's face. He heaved a sigh of relief and was about to speak when the phone in Ye Jian's pocket rang.

Xia Jinyuan called.

Ye Jian looked at the caller ID and stood up without hesitation. "Commissioner Cai, thank you for telling me about my mother. I still have things to do so that I won't disturb your work."

"There are many things about your mother. You…." Commissioner Cai straightened his clothes and stood up. He looked at his old friend's daughter and saw the determination on her face. Her gaze was sharper than her mother's. He paused for a few seconds before continuing," If you want to know more about your mother, you can contact me anytime. "

It was obvious that Commissioner Cai hesitated when he said this. After hesitating, he said this with determination in his eyes.

Ye Jian, who always suspected that her mother's death was suspicious, felt her heart heavy. She thought that she would definitely contact Commissioner Cai because he knew about her mother.

"Okay. Maybe one day, I will come and disturb you." Ye Jian took over the phone number that Commissioner Cai wrote in her notebook at the last minute. She lowered her head and took a look at it. Then, she memorized this set of numbers.

Ye Jian bowed slightly to Commissioner Cai before leaving.

The young female soldier left without looking back. Just like her mother that day, she knew that there was danger and that she might not be able to return. She accepted the mission and left without asking anything.

Ye Jian only knew that when her mother died and returned, the willow tree was green, and the peach blossoms withered. However, she didn't know that when Red Plum left, the sky was covered in snow, and the world was covered in silver. Only the red plums were blooming.
