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.
