The more this was the case, the more Ye Jian didn’t want the worried Commander Xia to see the suffocating sadness in her heart. She still hadn’t accepted this cruel truth. Even if… Even if it was Li Chuhai’s instructions, she felt that it would be difficult for her to accept it for a while.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ye Jian said in a low voice, “Where is he now? I want to see him.” No matter how calm she was, her voice was trembling when she opened her mouth.

How could she be truly calm?

She was just using her calm expression to hide the emotions in her heart.

Commander Xia looked at the time. It was time to get off work. He picked up the soldier’s cap on his desk and wore it. He said to Ye Jian, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

After he finished speaking, he tidied up his desk and picked up the folder on the desk. He was about to put it in the drawer when the photo fell from the folder. Commander Xia paused and bent down to pick up the photo that fell to the ground.

The man in the picture had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His gaze was bright and energetic. His facial features were rough and exuded the forthrightness of a northerner. His years in the military made his facial expressions even tougher. One look and you could tell that he was a soldier who came from the military unit.

This was the man who shot Sun Xueqing in the back.

When Ye Jian walked out of the office, the sky had already turned hazy. The capital city had been sunny these few days. The air was refreshing and cold. Although it was cold, it was comfortable. The scenery in the evening was quite beautiful. Ye Jian, who had walked out of the military headquarters, wasn’t in the mood to admire the beautiful scenery. After she got into the car, she kept looking out of the window. It was as if there was a barrier that couldn’t be touched or seen. She didn’t want to look at the people outside, and the people outside couldn’t feel her presence.

Commander Xia didn’t talk to Ye Jian much. This wasn’t something that could be accepted with enlightenment. There was a process of acceptance. Even the military couldn’t accept it when they knew who fired the shot, let alone Ye Jian, who had received much help from the person.

The person who killed her mother was someone she knew and treated as her family. No one could accept it immediately.

That feeling was worse and more sorrowful than knowing that a stranger had killed her mother.

Ye Jian knew that it was rude for her to sit in the same car as the commander-in-chief and not say a word. But now… her heart was in a mess. When she thought of the person she was going to see later, not only was her heart in a mess, but even her mind was in a mess.

She was in a mess. She just wanted to be alone quietly. She didn’t want to say a word.

Commander Xia could understand. In addition, Ye Jian was his daughter-in-law. Hence, he was more tolerant of her and was even feeling heartbroken for her. Hence, he didn’t disturb Ye Jian when she didn’t speak.

When they reached their destination, Commander Xia said, “Little Ye, go alone. Call me when you come out.”

Ye Jian bowed deeply to Commander Xia, who was exceptionally lenient to her. She turned around and walked through the depths of the iron door with the guard.

The people locked up in the depths of the iron door were not ordinary people. Everyone had a single room, and the walls were covered with soft cushions to prevent the people inside from hurting themselves or committing suicide.

Ye Jian’s pace was very slow as she passed by several doors. The guard who was leading her over didn’t urge her. He slowed down his footsteps so that Ye Jian could keep up with his pace.

As she walked deeper, Ye Jian suddenly felt a little agitated. She had a stomach full of questions, but she couldn’t figure them out. She wanted to clarify the questions she wanted to ask, but she didn’t know where to start.
