Reborn: Commander's Sole Obsession

Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Eating Hot Pot "There's no way around it," Guihua said, "Gu Junming hasn't sent any news yet, seemed like the child is gone. Could it be he's sold?" Sun Chan tightened her grip on the chopsticks, really hoping nothing happened to that child.

Just then, someone cin from outside, "Are you guys busy?" It was Yang Zhen, smiling as she cin carrying a bag.

They all stood up together, "Why did you come?" "The unit gave out sshrimps, I don't know how to cook them, so I brought them over." Guihua was delighted, "Oh dear, these are good stuff! Clean them up and put in the hotpot! Just what I'm craving. I remember there's still sdried tofu outside, slice it in too!" "Got it," Yang Liu also stood up, "I'll go across the street to buy sleafy greens. Anything else needed?" Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment but didn't hold back, requested a few more vegetables, and Yang Liu went out to buy them.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they cleaned things up, cooked the shrimps, and the aroma was enticing.

Just about to eat, someone else arrived. It was Yan Kai and a comrade, unfamiliar to Sun Chan, around twenty- five or six, and not bad-looking. He had a good relationship with Gu Junming and had heard of Sun Chan, so he greeted her promptly.

"This is my friend, Liu Jun. He's going somewhere for business tomorrow, wants to stay overnight in X City. I thought since you run a hotel here, I'd bring him over. Don't hold back, charge him more, it's on public funds anyway!" Yan Kai laughed.

The more familiar they got with Yan Kai, the more it's known that he liked to joke. Everyone laughed along. "Welcome, welcome," Guihua smiled, "Perfect timing with the hotpot, join us for a meal, don't be shy! Sun Chan, get a bottle of liquor!" Sun Chan sighed and stood up. Went upstairs and returned with two bottles of beer and one bottle of baijiu. Originally, only a few girls were eating, naturally not drinking, but now with the two men, drinks were necessary. The two men were not pretentious, sat down together, eating hotpot was lively with more people. Guihua was generous, plenty of ingredients, all kinds of delicious food for everyone, so everyone was quite happy eating.

Sun Chan asked Yan Kai, "Any news from Gu Junming?" Yan Kai slightly frowned, "Well, he didn't see Su Miao, waited with the railway police but ultimately didn't see her. Now we're thinking, maybe she didn't get off the train, went somewhere else? I told him, search for a couple more days, if it doesn't work out, cback. It's not something he can handle alone, the higher-ups can't keep giving him leave." Sun Chan bit her lip and said, "Zhao Yingjun hasn't got any news either." Zhao Yingjun insisted on going to the unit, didn't care what Su Jinxiu was up to, but the child was important. If he knew the child was gone, he wouldn't be silent like this. Likely he's avoiding Su Jinxiu causing a fuss, hiding away. Still doesn't know the son is gone.

Liu Jun said, "Su Jinxiu needs to report to the police, we're just soldiers, can't handle this matter indefinitely." "Indeed. Gu Junming only stepped in due to hometown connections. Now it's not viable. Better have him cback, can't delay work forever, and besides, Su Miao is quite bad, if Gu Junming doesn't cback..." Sun Chan was a bit worried, afraid Su Miao might want to harm people.

Yan Kai said, "Don't worry, Gu Junming is a soldier, an ordinary person cannot easily be his match. No matter how bad Su Miao is, can't commit murder, everyone knows she left with the child, can't escape successfully." Sun Chan could only nod her head.

They discussed other topics, Guihua noticed Liu Jun paying a lot of attention to Yang Liu. Both of them liked beef, not shrimp, ate lots of noodles, but seemed indifferent to cabbage, especially cilantro, which they left completely untouched.

So the two were picking their food, quietly talking about something.

Sun Chan chuckled, Yang Zhen also found it amusing, smiling with pursed lips.

Guihua glanced at Yan Kai, "What's this about, having your comrade flirt with my employee?" Yan Kai chuckled, "This guy's twenty-five already, still no girlfriend. Hey, talking to you Liu Jun, anything to say!" Liu Jun was startled, looked up, "Why talk about me, you're also single!" Yan Kai acknowledged with a grunt, didn't say more, after all, the comment wasn't meant for him, just letting Yang Liu know.

Yang Liu was a bit embarrassed, but she did like Liu Jun, mostly because they both loved the sfoods. Really in sync.

Liu Jun stayed at the hotel for a day, felt Yang Liu was more charming, worked efficiently, liked the sfoods as him, not a pretentious girl. For a moment, he felt quite favorable. Before leaving, she asked for Yang Liu's address.

"I'll write to you." Guihua said, "No need for letters, we have a phone here, give him a phone number. Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop!"

Yang Liu's face turned red, "Sister, why do you always like making fun of me!" She finished speaking and didn't glance at Liu Yun, turned away angrily. Guihua laughed heartily, pulled Liu Jun over and gave him the phone number. Liu Jun chuckled, romance back then was just like that, if they liked each other, it could work out.

Sun Chan was always worried about Gu Junming, only on the third day did she learn about him, Yan Kai said he didn't find Su Miao, had to cback.

"But can't cto see you, straight back to the unit." Sun Chan nodded understandingly, he was in charge, already late a few days, wouldn't be appropriate to visit her now.

"He didn't see Su Miao?" "Yes, everyone nearby was asked, didn't see any young girl carrying a child, now there's surveillance set up, all watching Zhao Yingjun's place. If she comes, she will definitely look for him." She nodded, feeling at ease now that she knew Gu Junming returned safely.

She's quite busy now, taking care of Wang Guihua in the morning, then going to see the fruit stall in them afternoon. During her absence, Yang Liu looked after the stall, earning one hundred and forty yuan, Sun Chan kept a hundred, gave forty to Yang Liu. Yang Liu quickly waved her hand, "No need for that! I'm not short on money. You keep it!" "You helpedlook after the stall, supposed to give you some, take it. Asking for help without payment doesn't seem right. If you don't accept, I won't dare ask you again." Yang Liu reluctantly accepted after refusing a few times. She asked, "Going to see Wang Guihua again? Aren't you tired?" "Yes. Thankfully, I don't have to go every day, in the afternoon there's a nanny shift change, otherwise I wouldn't manage.'

Mostly not physical fatigue, but internally tired; Wang Guihua is infuriating with her words, frequently scolding Yang Hongying, Sun Chan felt like ignoring her, occasionally taunts about her and Gu Junming, she pretends not to understand.
