"Well people talk your father won numerous victories but his last defect destroyed his lifetime reputation" Lee lamented.
"Uncle Lee, actually, i want to ask you something you saw how tragic that battle was so do you have any doubts?" Richard asked.
"Actually, i don't think it was bandits that your father encountered" Lee said.
Richard heart started beating fast he just wants to confirm even though he knew the truth before.
"Uncle Lee, you also don't think they are bandits either?" Richard asked
"Bandit just wants money and they don't usually kill all their enemies but back then, they blew up the mountain to block the paths and of the valley and killed your father, your eldest brother and all other soldiers i really don't think some bandits could have this kind of combat capacity" Lee replied.
"In the past ten years, i have been fighting around but I have never heard from them again if they were really bandits they wouldn't have given up their old business just after that battle. It is a pity that no one survived back then. Everytime i dreamt about my father, i wanted to ask him what exactly happened back then but then i just woke up" Richard said.
Lee dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a pouch.
He removed something from the pouch, he put it infront of Richard.
Richard took it and examined it.
It was a bullet.
"This is the bullet i got from your father's wound and i have kept it all these years, maybe, it will come in handy for you someday" Lee said.
"It is a dumdum bullet" Richard said.
"The wounds on all the dead bodies were particularly severe and many of them even had their chest blown open. In regular armies, all over the world this kind of bullet is forbidden" Lee explained.
"Mr Lee, Does it means that it is forbidden to bandits too?" Richmond asked.
"Yes" Mr Lee replied him.
He glanced at Richard "Richard i also want to tell you that many things are not what you see with your eyes. Don't do anyone wrong just like what happened to the Bush army back then"
Richard stared at him, "Uncle Lee, are you implying something?"
"The ones that your father encountered back then might not be bandits and the ones in your celebration party last night might not be revolutionaries" Lee replied.
He realized something and smiled.
"Uncle Lee, what business are you doing now?" He asked
"Don't treat others the way you don't want to be treated I hope that you can find out what exactly happened back then and last night" Lee said.
"Sure" Richard replied with a smile.
Lee stood up to leave.
"I will be on my way now" He told him.
Richard stood up to see him off.
They walked out of the command side by side.
"Uncle Lee, an assassination took place last night and the Military Governor office has ordered me to hunt for the revolutionaries around the city. It is going to be a mess for awhile and it won't be easy for you to do business please take care of yourself " Richard warned him.
"Okay but i am just a businessman no one would bother to make trouble for me" Lee replied.
"Uncle Lee please don't make it hard for me" Richard said meaningfully.
Lee smiled and nodded, "Okay"
Richard stared at him.
"Commander Richard, see you later" Lee stretched out his hand for handshake.
Richard shaked his hand.
"Uncle Lee see you later" He replied.
Lee nodded at Richmond and walked away.
Richard gave Richmond a glance.
"Go and asked Drey to see me in my office now" He ordered.
"Yes commander" Richmond said and walked away quickly.
Richard went back to his office with the bullet in his hand.
Drey and Richmond walked into his office.
Richard gave him the bullet.
Drey took it and examined it.
"Where did you get this bullet from?" He asked.
"Drey, do you remember Dr Lee back then?" Richard asked.
"Yes, he was your father military surgeon who was a gentle and cultured man" Drey replied.
"I met him and he gave me this" Richard explained everything to him.
"He kept it for so many years?" Drey asked.
"He doesn't think the ones who killed my father were bandits either" Richard replied.
"I knew it! It was impossible for your father to be defeated by bandits. But the soldiers with your father were long gone and no one knew exactly what happened in the valley" Drey replied.
Richard clenched his fist tightly.
While they were discussing about his Father's death Bremo was being scolded by his father on the phone.
"I just can't ignore the truth" Bremo defended himself when his father was scolding him.
"The truth doesn't matter, you are so soft hearted which makes it hard for you to defeat Richard Bush you let such a great opportunity slip" Military Governor Albert said.
"Yes father, I am sorry i missed the opportunity. Please punish me" Bremo said.
"Never mind, you are too upright, you can't do anything against your integrity and i don't want to push you too hard" Military Governor Albert replied
"Thank you for understanding"
"Engaging in politics is like playing chess a decisive opportunity won't come again. Fortunately, there are still chances for us to win. According, to the first of the terms signed by Richard Bush the deadlines for disbanding and resettling the Bush Army is coming soon and we have to win this round" Military Governor Albert said.
"Yes" Bremo replied.
Military Governor Albert hung up immediately.
