Chapter 4024: Heartache

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Jian leaned against the window. Her face was half-lit and half in the shadows. The same went for her emotions. Instructor Feng, who was talking to her, could feel the intense sorrow coming from the young student beside him. He wanted to comfort her too, but… Instructor Chen had been shot in the chest. His fate was unknown. As his only relative, no matter how sad Ye Jian was, he had to stand up firmly. He couldn’t let his sorrow delay the things he needed to resolve.

Fortunately, she was very firm and didn’t panic like ordinary women. She knew that she needed to understand the situation first.

“I’ve already canceled my family visit leave. The base has ordered me to accompany Instructor Chen. The leaders of the base are rushing over to visit. When the time comes, you’ll be questioned. Ye Jian, you have to control your emotions. Don’t let your sorrow crush you.”

“Yes, I understand. Don’t worry. Instructor Feng, go over and sit for a while. I want to be alone.” Ye Jian nodded lightly. Then, she slowly hunched her back. Her face was hidden by the light, so no one could see her face. She hid her expression.

At this moment, Ye Jian’s back was arched so much that it was hunched. Her fragile appearance made people’s hearts ache, but there was also a stubbornness to her.

...
Instructor Feng turned around and looked at the female soldier’s skinny back. As it turned out… she was only wearing summer clothes.

Seeing this, instructor Feng couldn’t help but sigh softly.

At that time, she must have been in a hurry when she received the call. She was so anxious that she didn’t bring a coat to resist the cold. The temperature outside the capital city was so low at night that it was only a few degrees below zero. Wasn’t she cold when she was waiting for the car at the airport?

Fortunately, there was a heater in the building. If not, her anxious and sorrowful body wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Instructor Feng sighed and retracted his gaze. He turned his head and met the gaze of Officer Lu from the Eastern District. He nodded at the other party without any intention of talking to him.

“Brother Lu, he’s hiding something from us. If they don’t cooperate with this case, it won’t be easy for us to investigate.” The relatively young police officer, Yan Chi, said in a low voice, “If they don’t cooperate and the director wants us to hurry up and investigate…”

Officer Lu raised his hand, indicating to Yan Chi that there was no need to say anything else.

He started doing criminal investigations when he was 24 years old. In the past 15 years, he had encountered many different cases. He had come into contact with all kinds of cases but… he had never come into contact with a case as troublesome as today.

He knew where to start the investigation, but the two people around him were still wary of him.

They were guarding against him. Officer Lu felt that his already white hair was getting whiter.

“I’ll talk to the director. You guys guard the place. Also…” He looked at the young lady who was alone and didn’t want anyone to see her sorrow. Alas, this young lady was too sensible. Now that something had happened, she wanted to shoulder it alone. She didn’t want anyone to see her in pain.

His daughter, who was in grade twelve, had her finger cut by a sheet of A4 paper and hugged her mother while moaning in pain for a long time.

Officer Lu sighed too. If the children were immature, their parents would be anxious. If the children were too mature and independent… their parents would worry too.

This lady was probably crying…

Ye Jian closed her eyes and didn’t cry. She had cried too much recently and experienced too many things.

She saw with her own eyes how her lover’s chest was stabbed with a dagger by her comrade. At that moment, the pain was so excruciating that her organs felt like they had shattered. Even now, when she knew that he was out of danger, her heart would still bleed every time she recalled that scene.
