Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

What did this mean? This meant that they were indirectly denying the existence of such a martyr, denying this person, and denying all the credit of this person… They were making everyone forget her, completely removing her from everyone’s memories.

At this moment, Xia Jinyuan, who was also a soldier, was furious. ”How bold of them!”

”That’s right. They’re bold.” Principal Chen was angry too. No soldier could accept this. This was an insult to a soldier!

It would have been fine if Sun Xueqing had committed a grave mistake, but she did not. She was a soldier who had sacrificed herself for the country. How could she be treated unfairly?

”After Martyr Sun Xueqing passed away, the military sent her belongings back. There was a very precious horned dragon jade pendant in her pile of belongings. When Ye Zhifan got his hands on the jade pendant, it became his protective charm to rise through the ranks as an official.”

Xia Jinyuan frowned immediately. ”Uncle Chen, I don’t understand what you’re saying. How did a piece of jade become a charm for him to rise through the ranks?”

”Firstly, Ye Zhifan became an official because of Martyr Sun Xueqing. The government wanted him to take good care of the girl, so he got to become a village official.

”After that, he became a town official and gradually became an official in the city. Grandpa Gen said that Ye Zhifan would only become more and more powerful with the jade protecting him. Ultimately, however, his fall would be even more miserable.”

The young major was frowning so hard at this moment. It was obvious he didn’t believe it.

Principal Chen sighed and said in a serious tone, ”I didn’t really believe it at that time, but I knew Grandpa Gen wouldn’t say those things for no reason. Moreover, he said that the jade wasn’t a good thing and asked the girl not to take it back.

”Although I didn’t believe it, I still remembered it. When I was hospitalized due to gastric bleeding, Ye Zhifan used the excuse of returning Sun Xueqing’s item to Ye Jian to get close to me. I thought of the jade pendant and what Commissioner Cai said. Then, I thought of what Grandpa Gen said…”

Principal Chen said, ”Sun Xueqing sacrificed her life to give Director Ye an official position so that he could take care of his daughter. In the end, Director Ye forgot about it after receiving the benefits.”

When he said this, he had been paying attention to Xia Jinyuan’s expression. When he saw Xia Jinyuan’s cold and ruthless expression, he knew that Xia Jinyuan was suspicious.

He suspected that he knew something!

”His expression told me that the jade pendant could help him get promoted. Uncle was right. I was waiting for him to visit Sun Xueqing again to deliver the item. That night around 11, something happened to me…”

After saying so much, Principal Chen finished the water in his cup. ”I warned Ye Zhifan but something happened to him. It’s a lie if I say that I don’t suspect him.

”However, we need evidence for everything. The military and the Southern Province’s police have done their best to investigate. Even the doctors and nurses who know about my hospitalization have been investigated thoroughly. There is no evidence that Ye Zhifan wanted to harm me.

”Major Xia, if you were me, you wouldn’t be so sure that there’s something wrong with Ye Zhifan either. I know that there might be something amiss, but I don’t have any evidence. If he really did it, I would be happy. It would mean that the jade is important! ”
