Chapter 579: Chapter 578: No One Taught You?

Su Yuncheng glanced at Company Commander Zhou beside him and said, "Kick down the door."

Company Commander Zhou awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Commander Su, can we not involve me in this? What if I see something..."

Su Yuncheng replied, "Consider it a sacrifice for duty."

Company Commander Zhou: "..."

"Tell me the truth, Commander Su, do you still hold a grudge about that time our company played a trick on you?"

Company Commander Zhou was almost in tears.

He hadn’t provoked anyone today, yet suddenly he was informed that he had to cooperate with Su Yuncheng on a task.

He was originally somewhat happy, but who would have thought it would be this kind of task.

Su Yuncheng looked at him: "What is there to hold a grudge about between comrades-in-arms—move it, this is an order."

Company Commander Zhou: "..."

Isn’t this still revenge? He probably doesn’t even believe it himself!

Military orders are supreme. No matter how sorrowful Company Commander Zhou felt, he could only bite the bullet, take two soldiers with him, and kick down the door.

The room was filled with a strong scent of mock-orange, and the girl on the kang bed was only eighteen or nineteen years old, skinny with a vacant look in her eyes, staring straight at the ceiling beams.

By her side were two men, bearing a six out of ten resemblance to each other, looking like father and son.

"Don’t move!"

Company Commander Zhou quickly threw a piece of clothing over the girl’s body, his gun pointed straight at Zhang Jian and his son on the kang bed.

Zhang Jian, unflustered, glanced over Company Commander Zhou’s shoulder insignia and scoffed, "Quite imposing for a little company commander. Which battalion are you from? Daring to barge into my place, didn’t anyone teach you manners?"

Company Commander Zhou was a tough nut, he rolled his eyes and responded, "You, a minor director, dare to inquire about military district affairs, hasn’t anyone taught you manners?"

Zhang Jian was shocked for a moment, then leisurely started dressing while saying, "You’ve got guts, kid. Did the person who sent you not tell you that you’ve probably worn this uniform for the last time?"

"I have plenty of uniforms, but you only have one life, right?" Company Commander Zhou said with disdain, taking a couple of steps forward and pressing the gun against his head, "Move!"

Zhang Jian, unaccustomed to such humiliation, got angry and raised his hand to slap Company Commander Zhou.

How could his minor skills compete with a real soldier? The moment he raised his hand, it was seized by Company Commander Zhou.

"You dare to swing at me?" Company Commander Zhou chuckled, delivering a couple of kicks to his knee pits, forcing Zhang Jian onto his knees, "Don’t move! Move again and I’ll shoot you!"

Zhang Jian couldn’t for the life of him understand where this bumpkin found the audacity to yell at him. He did want to resist, but having overexerted himself earlier, his legs were weak, and after struggling a bit, he fell back down, left with only the energy to stare daggers.

Meanwhile, two young soldiers haphazardly dressed Zhang Jian’s son and, with pushing and shoving, dragged him out as well.

Only when Zhang Jian was taken outside did he see Su Yuncheng standing in the courtyard.

He didn’t recognize the young man, but he felt there was something extraordinary about him.

Zhang Jian squinted, sizing up Su Yuncheng, and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Yuncheng couldn’t be bothered to even glance at him, instead asking Company Commander Zhou, "Is it just these two?"

"There’s also a woman, but, that... she’s not easy to catch." Company Commander Zhou’s face was burning with embarrassment.

"Hmm, take the people to the car first."

After giving the instruction, Su Yuncheng walked to the door, looked down, and said to the person inside, "Comrade, if you are the victim, please get dressed as soon as possible and come with me to the military district to write a testimony. We already have sufficient evidence to prove that Zhang Jian has abused his position for personal gain, and your lawsuit can be compensated."

The girl on the kang stirred her fingers.

Moments later, she smiled, her voice very hoarse: "Forget it, there’s no use in suing, given my lowly birth."

"Anyone can accuse a criminal," Su Yuncheng stared at his toes, speaking on, "If you don’t want to go, just give me your name, and I will apply for compensation for you as much as I can."

Perhaps it was the determination in Su Yuncheng’s voice, the girl finally turned to look towards the door.

As she looked over, she saw Su Yuncheng with his head bowed, refusing to look inside the room.

Suddenly, she smiled, and as she smiled, tears began to fall.

Since she had caught the attention of Zhang Jian and his son, all men in the street looked at her with the most insolent and dismissive gaze, their eyes like a pair of lecherous hands that seemed to see right through her.

For the first time, someone threw clothes to cover her body; for the first time, someone knew she was underdressed and didn’t take the opportunity to ogle or take advantage.

"Wait for me, I’ll come with you," the girl said softly.

"Okay."

Su Yuncheng replied, then turned to close the door.

After a good while, the girl emerged, dressed.

She was frighteningly thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Her clothes were patched on top of patches, worn for who knows how many years.

Only Su Yuncheng, a stranger, remained in the courtyard. The girl walked to her mother and whispered, "Mom, I’m going to the military area with this comrade, I’ll be back later in the evening."

Her mother grabbed her hand tightly, her voice filled with panic: "Don’t go, Chingching, please don’t go with them, they, they..."

"Mom, what is there to want from a wretched life like mine?" Xu Chingching patted her mother’s hand, "Wait for me at home, I’ll be back soon."

"Chingching, Chingching... you can’t go, you mustn’t..."

The mother flailed her hands, attempting to grasp her daughter’s hand.

Xu Chingching pressed her lips together, looking a bit reluctant, but still walked towards Su Yuncheng: "Comrade, I will go with you."

Su Yuncheng glanced at the mother’s panicked expression, and after a moment of silence, said: "Forget it, you can write at home."

This response left Xu Chingching somewhat stupefied; she looked at Su Yuncheng in disbelief, unable to trust her own ears.

Su Yuncheng returned to the jeep, fetched some draft paper and a pen for her, and said: "You can write down all the misdeeds committed by Zhang Jian and his son. If there are any internal details, you can choose to conceal them appropriately."

The chastity of a maiden’s family is not something most people would wish to make public.

Su Yuncheng took her dignity into as much consideration as possible, handing her the paper and pen before returning to wait in the jeep parked at the Xu Family’s entrance.

Company Commander Zhou turned to ask him: "Commander Su, aren’t you taking her back with us?"

"No," Su Yuncheng closed his eyes to rest.

"True, it’s a young girl’s family we’re talking about, if we press her too hard and she seeks death, then it will all be in vain," Company Commander Zhou sighed, turning his head to look at the Xu Family’s courtyard through the window, his eyes full of lamentation.

Su Yuncheng did not continue the conversation, nor did he ask about anything related to Zhang Jian, just resting with his eyes closed in his seat, nobody knew what he was thinking.

After half an hour, Xu Chingching came back with the draft paper and pen, filled with writing.

Seeing that Su Yuncheng had no intention of opening his eyes, Company Commander Zhou immediately opened the door and stepped out, taking the paper and pen, saying: "Alright, miss, leave it to us, we will enforce the law with impartiality."

Xu Chingching glanced at Su Yuncheng in the back seat, then deeply bowed to Company Commander Zhou with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you all."

She had encountered these two men at her lowest point, yet felt a warmth she had not experienced for many years.

Company Commander Zhou chuckled, as if the previous incident had never happened, and the girl before him was just the most ordinary girl ever. He said: "Then you and your auntie wait at home, eh? Any news and I’ll come to tell you right away."
