Chapter 20: Suspicious Incident Site?

Jimmy, who was in love with Maria, saw her smirk and thought she was giving him a smile. Seeing the smile on her cute face, his heart started beating loudly, and he quickly turned his head around and focused in front because of embarrassment.

Maria was satisfied by his looking away, thinking she had irritated him.

May was sitting on a bench, remembering something she called Jimmy in front of him. She looked directly into his eyes and said it in a cold voice.

"Officer, you have seen something you shouldn't have, and if I find out about you talking about it to someone else, it would not be good for you," she said with an emotionless face.

Jimmy, listening to his hero's cold voice, didn't find it weird to be given this warning because he himself thought that he wasn't supposed to witness the cold, emotionless general allow a new officer to call her big sister. He felt lucky to witness this side of his hero and said in a firm voice, "Ma'am, I wouldn't talk about it and would definitely take it to my grave."

May, seeing his firm answer, said in the same cold voice, "It's good that you know what's good for you." Saying that she ordered him to stand in his position once again.

In less than half an hour, they had arrived at the plane crash site. Officers guarding the site saw the military helicopter coming back, and all the soldiers regrouped again. May walked out of the helicopter with Jimmy following her, and she ordered Maria to stay in the helicopter.

Maria wanted to follow her outside, but just because the general had allowed her to call her Big Sis when they were alone didn't mean she would get special treatment, as she followed her order and stayed inside the helicopter, and the pain from the kick was still there. She would definitely get beaten up for disobeying her.

May, seeing all the officers collected, ordered them to go to their positions and guard, and ordered Jimmy to bring her to Alice's body, standing in front of her body covered in white clothes. She ordered Jimmy to leave her alone.

Jimmy, listening to her, could tell just by her voice, which was different from her usual cold voice, that she was very sad right now as he walked back to his post, leaving her alone.

She had already accepted the fact that her sister was gone from this world, but seeing her body in front of her covered in white clothes, she didn't want to remove the white cloth and see her lifeless body.

Standing there for a few seconds without saying a word, she gathered her courage, sat on the ground, and removed the cloth from her body. She saw her always cheerful and lovely sister's body, with many wounds on her body, a large hole in her chest area, and clothes on her body covered in blood. She saw her like this, a silent stream of tears leaking out of her cold red eyes.

Taking a deep breath, she wiped the tears from her face, and she began to check her body, not noticing anything amiss. She put back the white cloth on her body again carefully, and she began roaming around the site for a few minutes, looking at the destruction caused by the plane crash, which was more destructive than it should have been. She could at least confirm that there was something amiss here.

She began to check all the places carefully. The lighting setup here by the military officer was very good and didn't cause her any problems in her investigation. After almost two hours of searching for any clues, she didn't find any signs of any terrorist organization involvement with her keen eyes, but she would definitely not stop there as she would get the forensic department to do a thorough examination of the site, hoping to find some clues that led to the cause of the accident.

One of the biggest mysteries to her was why no one received any SOS from the plane with so many passengers on board, as she didn't find any jammers in the junk, thinking that she might have missed it, hoping to find its pieces in the forensic search.

Local authorities would still be searching for the plane, as it had been missing for almost two days after the forensic investigation was done. She would inform them about the place where the crash had happened—not before getting her sister out of there—but they would still find out about it after checking their data. Well, she didn't care if they found out about it or not.

But she would definitely hold her sister's funeral at her home with her family, and she was powerful enough not to get pressure from the media and politicians. She was sure they wouldn't try anything, knowing that her sister's company was the largest producer of medicine in the world, and it was not uncommon to hold funerals for powerful people without their bodies, as the normal public wouldn't even know it.

Seeing that it was already very dark, she decided to sleep and ordered some officers to set up a tent for her and an additional tent for Maria to sleep in, as well as send some packed food for both of them in their tent.

Maria in the helicopter back cabin was informed by an officer that a tent was set up for her and that there was food inside for her to eat before she went to sleep. Going there, she noticed that the officer was changing shifts for night duty. She entered the green tent that could accommodate at least two people, easily noticing the packed food and sleeping bag inside. She quickly ate her fill and went to sleep, as it was a very exhausting and unforgettable day for her.

Tomorrow morning, as usual, they might wake up at 6 a.m. and be ready for her usual morning training as she got some training outfits from the military officer and trained for one and a half hours. Those officers who were on duty were mesmerized by her beauty and charisma, but they didn't look too much out of fear of becoming her sparring partner. Knowing the rumor and their previous conversation with Jimmy, they wouldn't dare look for more than a few seconds.

After finishing her training, she wanted to take a bath, but it was not possible for her, so she wiped the sweat from her body and changed back into her casual black jeans and black shirt in her tent. She thought she had to go back to her home with Alicia and make arrangements for Aiden, but she was not worried about that because there should be a medical team in the squad present here, as she had informed them to bring the best medical care before they began the search for the plane.

Suddenly she thought about Maria and what she should do with her, and the idea of bringing her with them didn't even cross her mind, as she didn't trust her or anyone else enough to involve her in her family matters.

She informed some officers to bring the medical team to her and told them to make arrangements to carry a coma patient and her dead sister to Eastern Union Territory, and she also warned them that if something went wrong, they would definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.

The medical team receiving the orders was very confident in their ability but still made the best preparation they could possibly make, not wanting to incur the wrath of the general.

In less than half an hour, the preparation was done. She also checked one last time if everything was okay as it would take more than ten hours to get there, checking on her phone that it was already 8 a.m., and she was ready to depart.

Maria had woken up a few minutes ago, and she was going to find the general. Seeing that the general was ready to go somewhere, she went to her, saluted her first, and asked, "Ma'am, what should I do?"

Listening to her question, May said, "You should join them for now and return to their military base, as you would not be able to go back from here yourself, and after your injuries heal, you should join the Eastern Military and complete their basic training. After that, I will find you; don't expect me to give you special treatment," in a cold voice.

"As for you being my personal guard, it's in your name only, and someone as weak as yourself is not qualified enough to protect me. It would only make your life more hellish to get the title of personal guard. Are you ready to prove yourself?" She was only impressed by her willpower, and she wouldn't give her any special treatment. If she rejected it, then so be it; she would only be a little disappointed in her.

"Are you ready to accept the unfair title that only makes your life more difficult?" while looking directly into her eyes without any emotions.

Maria, listening to this, didn't expect the general to be this blunt and cruel, hoping that following the general would be hard but that, being by her side, she would manage it somehow.

Not only would it make her military life more difficult, but she was still determined to follow the general, and she was also looking forward to her training.

"Ma'am, I would definitely not disappoint you," Maria said in a resolute voice.

But later in the future, Maria would regret ever looking forward to her personal training with the general.
