1979: Starting Trouble

Starting Trouble

Soon, a relationship chart appeared on the paper. In the end, Ye Jian fixed her gaze on the person who helped Sun Yaozu regain his identity. They asked him to keep an eye on Ye Zhifan but didn't allow him to look for trouble with Ye Zhifan. Finally, Ye Jian's eyes darkened. She drew a rough line at the edge of the word 'someone'… Could this person be the person she needed to find?0

Ye Zhifan had taken her mother's jade pendant and got promoted. This person who helped Sun Yaozu regain his identity so many years ago suddenly took action one day and asked Sun Yaozu to keep an eye on Ye Zhifan. Was this person afraid that they wouldn't be able to control Ye Zhifan in the future, so they asked Sun Yaozu to monitor him?

That didn't seem right. How could that person not be able to control Ye Zhifan?

Ye Zhifan got to where he was today all because of this person.

Oh right, Sun Yaozu had mentioned 'military unit'. Ye Jian drew a star in a thick circle and a promotion number. This meant that if this person was still in the military unit, he must be a high-ranking official.

There was another question. If he was a high-ranking official in the army, how could he possibly extend his hand to the government?

Unless… this person's family members were high-ranking political officials?

Every time she thought of a question, Ye Jian would write it down. Every time she thought of a possibility, she would write it down as well.

Ye Jian was very logical. She analyzed the various possibilities based on Sun Yaozu's words. She sorted out the messy events bit by bit and slowly tried to figure them out. In the end, Ye Jian confirmed that this person was a high-ranking official in the military unit. His family members were high-ranking officials in politics.

Only the combination of the two could explain the current predicament.

It seemed like she needed to trouble Captain Xia again. She needed to ask him which military generals had some powerful connections in the political scene. This way, her scope of investigation would be much smaller.

Ye Jian didn't know that the Military Disciplinary Committee had started investigating Sun Xueqing's martyrdom. She didn't know that Commissioner Cai Cai was secretly in the midst of 'inviting' her to the capital.

On New Year's Eve, there was suddenly news of a real estate tycoon being kidnapped and killed by his two foreign bodyguards in the Southern Province. All the major newspapers' headlines were occupied by the death of the real estate tycoon.

'According to the investigation, the background of the two foreign bodyguards is unknown and they didn't enter the country through the normal immigration process. The police suspect that the two foreign personnel might have a criminal record. The police then learned that the two foreign personnel had previously molested women at entertainment venues many times. They also obtained relevant evidence.'

After reading this paragraph, Ye Jian stuffed the newspaper that cost two yuan into the trash can. The police were suspecting the two missing foreign bodyguards. They had even taken two blurry fingerprints from the crime scene and compared them with the fingerprints of the two missing foreign bodyguards.

It had to be said that Ye Zhixiang played a huge role in this. Otherwise, the police wouldn't only be suspecting the two foreign bodyguards.

Sun Yaozu's wife had told the police that she once heard the two foreign bodyguards asking for a raise from her husband but were rejected. Therefore, they suspected that these two foreign bodyguards must hold a grudge against Sun Yaozu!

Sun Yaozu had a wife with a low IQ beside him. People like Ye Zhifan and Sun Yaozu would only be a burden at critical moments.

Grandma Ye's heart sank when she learned that her son-in-law, Sun Yaozu, had died in an accident from the nurse.

When Grandma Ye thought of the murderer who caused her son-in-law's death, Ye Jian's face popped up first. After being paralyzed for so long, although she had food, water, and was cared for, she was still skinny. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at the nurse who was mumbling. She was so skinny that her face revealed her mean nature. Her lips trembled as she asked sternly, "…Y-You… What are you saying?!"
