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.

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.
