Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 872: Chapter 526: Departure

On the way out, a few people walked in silence.

Luo Ye was somewhat surprised by her promotion to Major, but upon careful consideration, she felt it was reasonable. Her imprisonment this time was essentially taking on a responsibility that didn’t belong to her. Both publicly and privately, there needed to be some acknowledgment from above.

Given her previous merits accumulation, she should have been a Major upon graduation. Now, it’s merely that the rights belonging to her are being given to her in advance.

Of course, there was certainly another factor involved—she was the daughter of Luo Zhenggang, the granddaughter of the Wen Family, and the granddaughter-in-law of the Ye Family... Thinking this way, Luo Ye let out a bitter smile. Whether she admitted it or not, background has a profound impact on one’s development.

Effort indeed brings rewards, but when combined with background, it definitely brings greater rewards than others. If she were just the child of ordinary civilians, even with her achievements and enduring grievances, she wouldn’t have been so early promoted to the rank of Major.

"Major Luo..." About to exit, Li Jingsong hesitated and called out, looking awkwardly at Luo Ye, hoping she would give him a different answer than before.

Luo Ye gave him a faint glance: "Prison Director Li, I’ve said everything that needed to be said. The rest is what you should handle."

Li Jingsong sighed lightly and said no more. The other party indeed had no reason to help him, and he had underestimated her. Initially thinking that an eighteen-year-old might let him off out of sympathy, he now realized he was wrong.

Luo Ye glanced at him with pity: "Prison Director Li, luck has its limits. From the moment you accepted the bribe, you should have expected today’s outcome."

"Luo Ye..."

Bai Yan appeared from the corner, with Officer Bai Xue following behind with her head hanging.

Luo Ye was slightly startled and immediately understood the relationship between the two, a slight smile tugging at her lips: "Major Bai, congratulations, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you on your promotion."

"Thank you." Bai Yan smiled awkwardly, "Luo Ye, I won’t beat around the bush. Bai Xue is my cousin, and I stopped you because I want to plead for her. I also know that I have no connections with you, but I thought to give it a try.

My cousin has elderly and children at home, and her relationship with her husband isn’t very good. If she’s really put in here, the family would fall apart. I ask you, for the sake of the kids and the elderly, let her off and let her resign immediately, can you?"

"What do you think?" Luo Ye countered.

Bai Yan looked at Luo Ye earnestly: "I know my request isn’t reasonable. Honestly, I just went to beg Master Ye, but he ignored me, so I could only come to you."

Luo Ye smiled at her: "I won’t kick someone when they’re down, but don’t make things difficult for me otherwise."

Bai Xue, who had held onto a glimmer of hope, quickly became disheartened, sighed, and shrank back. Bai Yan looked back at her, eyes showing struggle, then clutched Luo Ye’s arm: "Count it as me, Bai Yan, begging you. If you’re willing to help with this matter, I, Bai Yan, will do anything for you in the future.

Also, I have been appointed as the instructor of Team 5 at GF University, taking over Hang Menglin’s position. By then, I can offer you quite a few conveniences, Luo Ye, this is the first time I’ve ever begged someone."

"You all think too simply." Luo Ye’s face turned serious, "This matter is not something anyone can just suppress if they want to. The prison director colluded with the team captain to accept bribes, leading to dangerous items entering the prison. As for the consequences, I think Officer Bai has already told you, right? If it weren’t for my skills and my wariness with Qiao Xiaowan, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be Yang Ping with a back injury going to the hospital."

"Is this true?" Bai Yan looked at Bai Xue with a face of surprise, "Sister, why didn’t you tell me this?"

"I... I was afraid that if I told you, you wouldn’t help me." Bai Xue lowered her eyes and mumbled.

"Sister, how should I put this? When I came in, I happened to see the ambulance; you told me it was because a prisoner suddenly fell ill, and I really believed you. I didn’t expect you were lying to me.

Forget it; I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore. Take care of yourself." Bai Yan looked apologetically at Luo Ye, "Luo Ye, I’m sorry. I intervened without knowing the truth. Let’s just pretend I never said anything."

"Yan’er." Bai Xue grabbed Bai Yan’s arm, "You can’t just ignore me. If you do, what about Longlong? Yan’er, didn’t you say you could beg Grandpa? Please help me beg Grandpa, okay?"
