Chapter 1481: Inaction is Murder
"Yes, you’re absolutely right. I doubt him. Xiaoshuan may not have seen what happened at that moment, but he heard the conversation. He heard Qin Jian and Tian Niu angrily cursing. If you loved your comrade, would you dawdle at a critical moment?" An Hao increasingly believed that Zhiyuan had interfered, and that anger blazed in her chest like a roaring fire.
"No, I wouldn’t. I would have rushed over just like Tian Niu," Yan Ye said.
"That rope," An Hao continued, "I feel there’s something wrong with that rope. Even a child was questioning why the rope wasn’t just knotted and thrown directly to Qin Jian. Could Zhiyuan really not be aware? What did the child say at first? He said that the rope was wrapped around Zhiyuan’s waist at the time. What does that indicate?"
"...Do you really feel that Zhiyuan would harm Qin Jian?" Yan Ye squinted as he asked.
"Whether he would or not, when a comrade was about to fall, he did nothing. He clearly had the chance to pull the other person up yet chose to let go of that opportunity. How is that different from murder?" An Hao was filled with sorrow and indignation.
"You’re right," Gu Shuangshuang agreed with An Hao, her gaze turning towards Yan Ye, "Teacher Yan, please, I beg of you. Please keep a watchful eye. If you can catch him in any wrongdoing, you must tell us. Such scum does not deserve to be a soldier. Even if my husband has died, I will still expose him. We can’t let him cause chaos in the military."
"Okay, I will definitely help with that." It wasn’t just for Qin Jian, but also for maintaining a good environment in the military.
"What are you all planning to do next?" Ji Chuan, who had been listening all along, asked, "The digging here is still ongoing, but it doesn’t look very hopeful... If no one is found soon, I’m afraid the news will have to be announced."
