Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Response

He said to Sun Chan, "Don’t be afraid, we’ll help you. If you just leave like this, you’ll end up being bullied for a lifetime. Anyway, take a rest for now." After finishing, Yan Kai nodded to his father, "Dad, let’s go. Let her rest first, I need to discuss something with you."

Mr. Yan agreed and comforted Sun Chan with a few words, "I can see you’re a girl with great courage and determination. Hang in there."

Sun Chan nodded, "Thank you, sir."

Mr. Yan noticed her pale face, frowned slightly, but said nothing, and left with Yan Kai.

The two of them went into the corridor, Mr. Yan then said, "Are you really going to stand up for her? You don’t seem to have the authority to bring anyone along."

Yan Kai replied indifferently, "The ravine Sun Chan mentioned is right around the border area. Also, the criminals there are very cunning; recently during investigations, once we got just a little close, they immediately retreated."

Mr. Yan paused for a moment before nodding, "Very good. This plan to mislead the enemy and kill two birds with one stone, truly my son is capable of thinking of it." noveldrama

"As long as you don’t oppose, I’ll take people up the mountain. Now I need to report this to superiors. Let’s act early!"

Mr. Yan patted his son’s shoulder, showing great satisfaction with his son’s smart mind.

In Yan Kai’s eyes, there was a hint of excitement and anticipation. This was the first thing he thought of after hearing Sun Chan talk about Xiong’er Ridge, in peaceful times, opportunities like this are rare, and he urgently needed capital for advancement.

Meanwhile, Yang Liu helped Sun Chan back to her dormitory room. Along the way, Sun Chan felt her entire body aching, she was about to fall ill due to Zhou Jinzhu and their provocations. She never imagined her adoptive mother and sister to be so cruel! Even if she left the village and county, they wouldn’t let her go.

Yang Liu helped Sun Chan onto the bed, feeling a severe headache, she did not want to continue to be entangled with Zhao Xiuxia, she must find a way to make them stop for good, otherwise once Zhou Jinzhu is gone, they might sell her to an even worse family!

Yang Liu saw her frowning and softly said, "Sun Chan, don’t worry, the officer’s son is very capable, he will definitely help you."

Sun Chan didn’t speak; she felt embarrassed troubling the officer. Considering the time, today is Tuesday, possibly she could make a call, she coughed a few times and then said, "Yang Liu, can you help me make a call."

"Sure, to whom?"

She found the piece of paper left by Gu Junming before, "Gu Junming, he is... he’s my big brother." Sun Chan finished with a blush, feeling very embarrassed, but at this moment, Gu Junming was the only one who could help her.

With no further thoughts, Yang Liu took the note and went out.

After Yang Liu left, Sun Chan fell asleep on her bed, drifting between dreams and wakefulness, periodically dreaming she was sold to someone, facing daily beatings and scolding, dreaming of running in the mountains, clearly everywhere was road, yet there was never an exit, only people chasing and beating her, feeling desperate, she kneeled on the ground crying bitterly.

Sun Chan suddenly sat up, breathing heavily, covered in cold sweat, clutching the blanket beside her tightly, waves of hatred rose in her heart toward Zhao Xiuxia.

You might not love me, might accuse me, demand I repay you for raising me, but why do you insist on ruining me like this? Two lifetimes, can’t you show me even a little humanity?

Gu Junming sat under the lamp mending socks, the room’s furnishing was simple, a few books on the table in front of him, alongside a globe, with an aluminum lunch box on top. His eyes swept over the lunchbox, feeling a tug at his heart, wondering how Sun Chan was doing. The letter he sent, she still hadn’t replied.

Just as he thought of her, someone knocked on the door outside: "The Deputy Battalion Commander has a call!"

Gu Junming frowned slightly, "Whose call is it? For family calls, just say I’m not here."

Lately, his father had been pushing him hard to return home for matchmaking.

Since he last mentioned being unsuitable with Bai Fanglan, Gu Zishan started searching for candidates, wanting him to settle down with a woman sooner, the relationship between father and son already as such, hoping to sooner have a grandson, hoping to bridge generational closeness.

Wang Guihua very enthusiastically even personally introduced him to a cultural female soldier she knew through her father: "This girl’s background is good, all from military families, it will be beneficial to your future, cherish this opportunity."

Gu Zishan also thought it was quite favorable, persuading on the phone, "This girl’s parents are in the provincial city, they could be greatly beneficial to your career..."

Gu Junming firmly interrupted his father’s words, "My wife doesn’t need any background, just needs to be the person I love, that’s enough. I absolutely won’t let her be a tool for my promotion. After all, I’m not like you."

"Gu Junming! What are you saying..." Gu Zishan trembled with anger, "Do you think I’m a petty person relying on women?"

"My marriage, I decide for myself, you don’t need to worry." Gu Junming hung up the phone.

In the coming days, as long as it was Gu Zishan calling, he wouldn’t answer, so when he heard of the call, Gu Junming’s first thought was his father pressuring marriage again.

"It’s a woman. Her voice sounded unfamiliar," the young soldier smiled cheekily.

Gu Junming suddenly felt some anticipation and quickly went to take the call.

On the other end was Yang Liu’s voice, "I’m Sun Chan’s friend, something’s happened to her!" Yang Liu quickly explained everything, hearing that even in X City, Sun Chan was being troubled by her adoptive mother, Gu Junming tightly grasped the receiver, stirred, with a sharp glint in his eyes, yet his voice remained calm.

"I understand, thank you." He hung up the phone.

Yang Liu heard the beeping sound from the phone, was momentarily stunned, wondering what sort of person was this, hearing such a serious situation, yet showing no emotional tone, was he an iceberg? Sun Chan actually thought this man was reliable.

Yang Liu angry and frustrated returned, intending to complain but seeing Sun Chan already asleep, decided not to, sighing.

She’s already suffered enough misfortune, why provoke her more.

If it really doesn’t work out should I ask my dad for help? She quickly dismissed her thought, pursing her lips, no way she’d beg him even if she died. Hmph!

Zhao Xiu and a few brothers didn’t leave, instead found a nearby guesthouse to stay in temporarily, still planning how to sell Sun Chan.

Zhao Xiuxia was furious, head aching, developing a few red spots on her forehead, "I can’t have taken care of her for nothing all along. This isn’t over! If she seizes the chance to run away, then what? No, I must go back, drag her out!"

She finished speaking and made to leave, but was stopped by several brothers.

Her elder brother Zhao Long said, "The little girl is right in there. You think, with such a good job, who would willingly give it up? As long as she doesn’t leave, we’ll find a way."
