Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Doctor Zhou still had not realized what was going on. But deep inside her mind, she started to feel unsettled.

Behind her, Liao Youde stopped walking. He placed both hands inside his pocket as if he was searching for something.

After rummaging around his pocket, his face turned pale. He whispered something to a man following him, and then turned around, heading back to the public health center.

”Let’s go, Auntie,” said Ye Jian with a subtle smile on her face. Pitch-black eyes looking forward, she seemed rather calm with no traces of fear. ”Just treat me as your daughter Jiaxin who wants to walk around with you.”

Chunyang Grand Hotel was not too far away from the township public health center. After a big bend, they could see the Chunyang Grand Hotel at the corner of the street from afar.

Suddenly, the lights in the hotel were extinguished. Ye Jian was clearly aware that the man walking behind her quickened his steps, but soon, he steadied his pace again.

Not only did the Chunyang Grand Hotel experience a blackout, but the entire town had an outage.

Chunyang Grand Hotel, a two-story individual building, facing the road in the front and the farmlands in the back, adjacent to no other construction on its left or right side.

If the army wanted to enter the hotel covertly to catch the suspects, they must extinguish all the lights in the entire town to avoid suspicion.

”Hurry up!” the strange man urged them in a low voice. The blackout throughout the town made him nervous as well.

Without a word, Doctor Zhou, carrying a medical kit and holding tightly to Ye Jian’s hand, started to trot. She was seeking an opportunity to let Ye Jian run away.

Nevertheless, Ye Jian started to hum, relaxed and comfortable, as if she was going for a walk on a summer night.

She kept humming until they were about to arrive at the Chunyang Grand Hotel. The voice of a nightingale was heard vaguely.

It was the late response from Xia Jinyuan, who was telling Ye Jian that troops had been deployed at the scene.

Were it not for Battalion Commander Yang, who had informed him that it was Ye Jian who was issuing the special contact method of the army, he might have responded even later.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Jian concealed the light smile on her face. As she reached out her hand, she touched the right shoulder of Doctor Zhou, grabbing the band of her medical kit. And then, she turned around, smashing the medical kit violently against the strange man’s head.

The incident occurred so fast that Doctor Zhou almost screamed in fear. Before she realized what happened, Ye Jian grabbed her over to squat down in the darkness.

Once again, Ye Jian hummed a tune, which was the all-clear code in the army.

”This girl has learned what Grandpa Gen and Principal Chen have taught her,” revealing a hint of a smile on his stern face, Battalion Commander Yang said admiringly. ”She does not quiver a bit during battle.”

Hiding in the dark, Xia Jinyuan loosened his fists gently. His black eyes were shrouded with gloominess. After a while, he said, ”She’s accompanying the doctor from the town. A brave girl indeed. Battalion Commander Yang, I’ll leave the outside of the hotel in your hands.”

What an audacious girl Ye Jian was! How dare she! Wasn’t she aware that she was only a student?!

As a response to his nightingale tune, several black shadows as deft as cats swept past the dark night and appeared. Two of them approached the entrance of the hotel, while the other one went over to Ye Jian. Dragging the man knocked down by Ye Jian, they vanished into the darkness.

A black shadow approached Ye Jian. They were so close that they could feel the body heat of each other. He asked gently, ”Ye Jian, are you born to be disobedient?”

It was the voice of Xia Jinyuan. He was squatting as well. Above Ye Jian’s head came his restrained breathing sound, ”Do you know how to make hand signals? Give me your hands.”
