Daniel Carter maintained a calm expression, without any sign of unease, and explained, "She has nothing to do with me; it's her grandfather who has ties with my grandfather."
Seeing my puzzled look, Daniel continued, "Elder Mr. Sawyer was my grandfather's subordinate, deeply appreciated by him and promoted all the way to become the commander of the military district. Remember I told you I have an elder brother? He's the orphan of my father's comrade and has been in the army. My brother has been working under Commander Sawyer for years and has been promoted by him along the way. Of course, my brother is quite outstanding; he has been awarded first-class honors twice, nearly losing his life. Two months ago, Commander Sawyer retired, and he frequently visits to play chess with my grandfather and reminisce about the glorious days of the past."
I listened carefully, hearing about that elder brother's deeds from Daniel for the second time, and couldn't help but feel curious.
