Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: 2 Encounters

The man was taken aback to see the little girl so defiant, his raised knife momentarily unable to strike. He had only intended to take advantage, thinking the girl would be concerned about her reputation and wouldn’t dare speak out even if something happened. But unexpectedly, she showed no fear of him. He pulled her in with all his might, but Sun Chan was used to working, and her strength was formidable. She firmly grasped the door frame and refused to be pulled inside.

In the midst of this stalemate, someone shouted sternly from the corridor, "Let her go!"

The man trembled in fear, not knowing what was happening. Someone in the corridor had already pounced like a leopard. In the moonlight, he could see the man wearing military attire, standing tall and straight.

Sun Chan heard a thud behind her, and the man fell to the ground. She also heard the sound of a knife cutting through skin and screamed, worried that the soldier had been hurt. She rushed over, pressed down on the man’s shoulder, and slammed his disheveled hair against the floor.

With two people against one, it was much easier. The soldier kicked the man in the lower back, causing him to scream and attempt to flee. The soldier grabbed him again, and with a punch rendered the man unconscious, twisting his wrist and using his belt to tie him up, all in one swift, decisive motion.

"Little girl, are you alright?"

Sun Chan found the voice familiar and upon closer inspection, recognized Gu Junming. She excitedly grabbed his arm.

"Leader Gu! I’ve finally found you." As she pulled, Gu Junming’s wound was tugged, and he groaned.

"I’m sorry, did I hurt you?" Sun Chan frantically apologized.

Gu Junming smiled: "It’s nothing. For us soldiers, this kind of injury is no big deal."

At this point, the hostel staff and other guests, having heard the commotion, came out to see what happened. As the room lights turned on, they could see clearly what was going on. Seeing a soldier pinning down a knife-wielding youth scared them all, especially when they saw a small girl involved as well. They began to speculate about the situation.

Gu Junming told the hostel staff sternly: "This man tried to rob and kill me, but I managed to capture him. Please arrange to call the police! This young lady is from the opposite room. She came over to help when she saw what was happening. This has nothing to do with her." After speaking, he revealed his arm wound, shocking everyone into silence.

Sun Chan was momentarily stunned, then understood; he must have been worried about gossip. After all, a man and a woman fighting in the middle of the night would make for awkward rumors.

Gu Junming asked Sun Chan to wait in her room until the police arrived, then he would come over.

He looked into the corner and commanded: "What are you waiting for? Make the call!"

Only then did Sun Chan realize there was a soldier standing over there.

It turned out Gu Junming was on his way back to his unit, but received orders en route to find a new soldier who couldn’t handle the training and ran away. Gu Junming and a few soldiers had been searching separately for a day according to clues from civilians, who said the runaway was hiding in the hostel. He checked each hostel in turn.

Having finally caught the runaway, as he was about to bring him back, he unexpectedly encountered this situation. The young soldier was terrified and stood still in the corner.

Upon hearing the leader’s command, the soldier hurried out to make the call.

Sun Chan nervously sat on the bed, worried about Gu Junming’s injury.
