The dim light of the night shines through the window, illuminating Jiang Yun's delicate face, her focused expression as pure as a baby's.
Chen Yuanwu suddenly couldn't bear to tell the truth.
The direction and outcome of the matter had already been established as a precedent. His inquiries for information were merely a way of telling Jiang Jun the worst possible outcome step by step.
How could he bear to watch her become more and more lost and disappointed.
Jiang Yun looked at Chen Yuanwu quietly, counting down in his heart: three, two, one...
"Xiaojun..."
"to be honest!"
The two people spoke at the same time, and as Jiang Yun expected, Chen Yuanwu was stunned.
Chen Yuanwu was stunned for a few seconds: "Xiaojun, do you know that what I am about to say is not the truth?"
Jiang Jun nodded: "At this moment, I don't need to hear words of comfort, I just want to hear the truth!"
Chen Yuanwu carefully chose his words: "Xiaojun, there are some things that are beyond our control. We..."
Jiang Jun quickly interrupted, "I know it's uncontrollable. I just want to know how my dad is doing now? Has he returned to the capital?"
Chen Yuanwu's eyes flickered slightly. "Xiaojun, I was too impulsive. When I heard that more people were beginning to be examined, I was worried that you would be scared, so I hurried back to see how you were doing."
Jiang Jun shook his head: "That's not what you wanted to say."
Chen Yuanwu's expression froze: "Did you figure it out?"
Jiang Jun pressed her lips into a line, looked at Chen Yuanwu for a moment, and smiled faintly: "Have you forgotten that I can read photos?"
Chen Yuanwu was petrified: "Do you think I'm a photo?"
Jiang Jun blinked mischievously: "Moving photos!"
For some reason, Jiang Jun felt less afraid whenever she was with Chen Yuanwu. The more nervous she was, the more she wanted to joke.
Chen Yuanwu raised his brows slightly: "So what did you figure out?"
Jiang Yun pretended to be angry: "You asked me out to talk about something, not to guess riddles! Are you going to tell me or not? My grandma is still waiting for me to come back home. She will be worried!"
Chen Yuanwu: "Don't be afraid, I'll ask Jin Bu to take you back later."
Jiang Yun grumbled slightly, "It was late at night, and the guards took me away. If I didn't go back for too long, my grandma would definitely think something happened to me and she would cry!"
"Then I'll let Jin Bu tell them not to worry."
Chen Yuanwu's comrade-in-arms Jin Bu in the recruit company was assigned to the guard company after the recruit training. It was Jin Bu who just went to the Jiang family to bring Jiang Jun out and brought him to the Chen family's courtyard in the division headquarters.
Ye Qingyin took Chen Jing and Aunt Liu back to the capital. Chen Yuanwu and Chen Yuanwu were serving in the army outside, so only Chen Zhong was left living in the huge two-story building.
When Chen Zhong was busy, he would stay in the division office and not go home. He had not been home since before the martial law in Beijing.
There were soldiers patrolling the compound, so it was inconvenient to talk anywhere else. The Chen family became the safest place for them to talk.
Chen Yuanwu and Jiang Jun were staying in the study on the second floor of the Chen family at the moment. Jin Bu was keeping watch outside for them. They agreed to pass by the door every half an hour so that they could report any situation in time.
Jiang Jun shook his head. "Forget it, just hurry up and tell me. We can say everything we need to say in this time! Let Jin Bu go tell them. It would be better if he could take me home on the way. The two leaders of the investigation team just came to our house to question us yesterday afternoon. My sister was so scared that she couldn't speak. Now my grandma can only feel at ease when she sees me."
"Has the investigation team arrived? Who is it? What did they ask?"
"Political Commissar Qi brought them here. One is surnamed Wang, and the other is surnamed Xie. The questions Team Leader Wang and the others asked weren't questions at all. Their goal was to trick us into falling into the trap they had set!"
"Did you figure that out?"
"I heard it."
Jiang Yun recounted the scene of the investigation team's interrogation: "In the end, they left without getting any information."
Chen Yuanwu gave a thumbs-up in appreciation: "I didn't expect the investigation team to come to my house so soon. I thought you might be scared."
So I hurried back.
Jiang Jun smiled. She could sense Chen Yuanwu's worry. "There's nothing to be afraid of. We didn't know anything anyway!"
Chen Yuanwu recalled that he had initially considered Jiang Jun a weakling. He was afraid that the investigation team also thought so. If they knew how smart Jiang Jun was, they would have asked him a different question: "Even if you know, you won't tell me, right?"
Jiang Jun nodded. "Anyway, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If someone wants to harm my father, anything I say right now could be misinterpreted and used as leverage."
“Right!”
"Captain Chen, now you can say whatever you want without worry, right?"
Chen Yuanwu cleared his throat unnaturally: "Xiaojun, I heard that quite a few people were found to have..."
Chen Yuanwu mentioned many people's names, and the official titles suffixed after these people's names were beyond Jiang Yun's expectation.
Jiang Jun didn't care how the higher-ups would deal with these people. She only cared about how badly Jiang Yonghua would be implicated. "How will these people's problems affect my dad?"
"It's hard to say right now. We have to wait for the outcome of Zero One's handling."
"As long as my dad is safe and sound."
"I will continue to inquire about Uncle Jiang's news and tell you anytime."
"Anytime?" Jiang Jun was surprised. "It's several hours' journey from the military academy to here! Shouldn't the school have stricter regulations? Why are you running around freely?"
Chen Yuanwu extended his index finger and tapped Jiang Yun's forehead. He was extremely worried. Why was this smart girl playing dumb with him? "For you, I've thought of everything!"
Jiang Jun's head felt like it had been electrocuted, his mind went blank, and he looked at Chen Yuanwu stupidly: "Then can you find a way to make sure my dad is okay?"
Chen Yuanwu looked at Jiang Jun: "I can only think of a way to make sure you're okay."
Jiang Jun came back to his senses: "How could I be in trouble? I'm fine!"
"How come you're okay? That's the third time!" Chen Yuanwu held up three fingers and waved them in front of Jiang Yun's eyes. "That's happened to me three times alone! Every time, my life was on the line!"
Jiang Jun thought carefully, "According to what you said, I have encountered danger three times. Once was when I encountered a wild wolf, once was when I encountered a heavy rain, and this time I got burned."
Chen Yuanwu gritted his teeth and said, "Whenever you're alone and in danger, you'll always find me!"
Jiang Jun suddenly realized, "That's true! Every time when the situation is most dangerous, you appear. If you don't show up, I won't be in danger, right?"
Chen Yuanwu was furious: “……!”
Jiang Jun blinked his eyes: "Don't you think so?"
Chen Yuanwu was so choked that he had nothing to say. He could only grit his teeth: "You little heartless guy!"
