Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Knowing that Commissioner Cai was her mother’s comrade, Ye Jian felt close to him when they met again.

She smiled and walked over. ”Why are you here? Are you on a business trip?”

”I’ve been wanting to visit you for a long time, but I was afraid that I would disturb your studies. That’s why I decided to wait for you to finish your exams before coming over.” Commissioner Cai looked at the girl he had not seen for a few months. The more he looked at her, the happier he felt. She was really a good child.

While looking at her slender and elegant figure, one could see the valiant and heroic bearing of a soldier. She was dressed in a tailored student uniform, looking just like a healthy and strong pine tree. Although the branches and leaves had yet to fully extend, one could already see the graceful bearing she would have in the future.

Ye Jian invited him to sit down and quickly poured some hot water for him. ”I’m sorry. There are no tea leaves in the lounge room. I can only serve you hot water.”

”Hot water is good. It’s clear and light. There are no impurities. You have to be like a cup of clear water. It’s clear and light.” Commissioner Cai smiled as he took the cup of water. He gestured for Ye Jian to sit down and said kindly, ”You look a little pale but you look energetic.

You must be used to military school by now.

”Not bad, not bad at all. You’ve done your mother well. You’re truly a descendant of a soldier!”

Ye Jian liked to talk about her mother. She felt proud of her. ”Although my mother left early, I still have my memories. I remember she once told me that a person should be upright and honest. Just like what you said, a person should be like a cup of water. They should be clear and light, straightforward and honest.”

When Commissioner Cai heard this, his laughter became even louder. ”Good, good, good! It’s really good, really good! With a daughter like you, no matter how much Red Plum suffered, she was definitely willing.”

”But I can’t bear it.” Ye Jian took a sip of water. When she looked up again, her expression was a little solemn. ”Did you mean what you said last time in Tongzhou? I want to know about my mother. Can I ask you about her anytime?”

Commissioner Cai also retracted his smile and leaned against the wooden sofa that was for guests. His benevolent gaze immediately turned sharp. It was different from the unyielding sharpness of a young man. Instead, it had settled down and had a sharpness that could see through everything.

”You didn’t come to look for me but I came to look for you. Ye Jian, I came because of your mother and to tell you some things that you don’t know.”

He looked around and asked Ye Jian, who now knew his intention. His expression turned colder. ”Is this place suitable for talking?”

”Don’t worry. There are no surveillance cameras here. There are guards outside too. If anyone comes near, they’ll notify us in time. It’s the most suitable place.” Ye Jian straightened her back as her eyes turned colder. ”Please speak.

I will remember everything you say.”

Since she said that it was the most suitable place, Commissioner Cai did not think too much about it. He took out some clues he had recently gotten from his briefcase and said, ”I’ve always thought that there were many things wrong with your mother’s sacrifice. I’ve also tried to investigate the matter before, but in the end, I gave up on the investigation due to all sorts of reasons.

After I saw you, I felt deeply guilty toward your mother and secretly investigated again.

”Back then, I investigated with another comrade and found the comrade who went on a mission with your mother. I knew about your mother’s mission back then… It’s all written here. You can take a look.”

When Ye Jian received the document, her hands were trembling slightly. Even the gaze she used to look at Commissioner Cai was shaking slightly.
