Although Ye Jian knew that her entering and leaving the military unit was a special case, she didn’t know what Grandpa Gen did for her. As Commander Liu spoke slowly, she listened quietly.

“Then, Uncle Gen handed over a small photo that was taken of you at some point in time and told me, ‘This is the girl. Her mother is a martyr. Her father passed away early, and she was placed in my care. She’s not very popular. She’s already 13 or 14 years old. She’s skinny and weak. She looks a few years younger than her actual age. At that time, I even teased her and said that she might be a little malnourished, but she’ll recover after resting for a while.’

“Uncle Gen wanted to groom you. He said that you were a pitiful person, but you were indeed a good talent. If not, he wouldn’t have brought you up to me. He asked me if it was possible, and if it was, he would bring you over in a few days.

“How could I refuse? Uncle Gen had dedicated his entire life to the military unit. The higher-ups even specially instructed me to agree to Uncle Gen’s request even if it was unreasonable.”

At the mention of Grandpa Gen, a smile appeared on Commander Liu’s haggard face. “At that time, when Uncle Gen mentioned it, it was indeed an unreasonable request. I didn’t dare to agree immediately. I only said that I still needed to ask around.

“I took the photo and looked at it. At that time, I didn’t recognize you immediately. I applied to go to the province first. Later, Xia Jinyuan, who was sent to the grassroots company, also mentioned you to me and said that I could try to groom you. After discussing it with Old Yan, I called the province to urge them on account of Grandpa Gen and Xia Jinyuan. The province was still hesitating at first, but I said that there was nothing wrong with my side, so they approved it.

“After I applied for an access pass, Grandpa Gen showed me a recent photo of you. I was so shocked by your cold and dark eyes that a layer of cold sweat appeared on my back.

“Girl, in that picture, your eyes were filled with killing intent. It was this killing intent that made me think of your mother. Then, I sized up your facial features carefully. The more I looked at you, the more familiar you became. I felt that you looked like a spy who I had killed with my own hands.”

Commander Liu smiled bitterly.

Back then, he was very shocked. After more than ten years since the incident, he still couldn’t control himself. He was so shocked that he didn’t say anything. He wanted to investigate before making a decision.

He didn’t ask Grandpa Gen immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity to go to the martyr memorial park in the Southern Province.

There, he saw a black and white photo. The female soldier in the photo was wearing an old-fashioned military cap. The corners of her mouth were slightly curled up, revealing the small dimples on her left and right. She had bright eyes and white teeth. She was very beautiful.

Besides her gaze, the girl in the photo had facial features that were extremely similar to the female soldier in the black and white picture on the tombstone. At that time, he knew whose daughter Grandpa Gen was talking about.

It was the daughter of Martyr Sun Xueqing, a spy whom he had secretly dealt with.

Ye Jian closed her eyes lightly and cleared her mind. Her voice was slightly tight as she interrupted Commander Liu’s reply. “In other words, you knew about me when you were getting my access pass. But why… didn’t you tell me?”

Why did he have to hide it?

If he had said it earlier, she wouldn’t have needed to take so many detours and spend so much time to find out who the mastermind was.

Hearing this, the bitterness and regret on Commander Liu’s face deepened. “I wanted to call the military unit immediately and tell Grandpa Gen, but in the end, I endured it. That was because your mother wasn’t a ‘martyr’ in my heart at that time. She was a ‘spy’. It wasn’t right for her child to bear her crime. I thought that if you were really a good talent, I shouldn’t be biased because of your mother.
