Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander-Chapter 551 - 579: Surrender

Wan Yunhong left the village full of ambition, but was it all just to become a fugitive with a hidden identity for the rest of her life? The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt, wanting desperately to save herself. But in the current situation, who could possibly help?

After much consideration, only Sun Chan and Gu Junming came to mind. She kept crying, "I’m from the same village. Even if you don’t want to associate with me, we’re fellow villagers. I’m begging you, please help me. My parents are very old and only have me... If anything happens to them, I’ll regret it for a lifetime! Sob, sob..."

Sun Chan frowned and asked, "Is what you’re saying true?"

"Absolutely true! I’m begging you, please help me check!" She knelt there, crying.

Zhao Jieyun pulled Sun Chan aside and shook her head slightly, clearly indicating that this matter was none of their business. You cause trouble yourself, and now you expect us to help clear your name with just your word? Aren’t you asking for too much?

According to Zhao Jieyun’s implication, it was just a matter of giving her some money.

Sun Chan said, "We can’t help you with this matter."

"What are you saying..." Wan Yunhong felt her heart freeze, looking at Sun Chan in despair as if to say: How can you be so cold and heartless? This woman has never been kind to her from the start!

Sun Chan said, "You’d better go to the police..."

"No, I don’t want to go to jail! I’m free, why do I have to go to jail? You’re so evil..." she said as she rushed towards Sun Chan to hit her but was pushed away by Zhao Jieyun.

"I warn you to be honest, Wan Yunhong! Do you not know your own identity now? So many people are looking for you, and you still dare to be so arrogant? If you keep causing trouble, I won’t be polite! If I shout just once, many people around will catch you!" Zhao Jieyun said sternly.

Her words stopped Wan Yunhong from advancing, she glared at Sun Chan.

She had been hiding for two days, and her originally graceful and elegant appearance was gone. She was dirty all over, hiding everywhere, almost bullied by a beggar, lost her wallet, suffered a lot, and only now understood how wrong she had been.

"I was vain and shameless, fixated on staying close to people in power. Overestimating myself, I even tried to seduce Gu Junming." She said tearfully, "But I really didn’t kill anyone. I’m truly wronged!"

Sun Chan said, "I know what you want to say, but asking you to go to the police is truly for your own good. We believe you, but we cannot prove your innocence! The only way to clear your name is to surrender and work with them to find the truth, right?"

Zhao Jieyun also nodded, "Exactly. Rest assured, with today’s advanced methods, if you didn’t do it, it will be found out. This case is highly prioritized, and there won’t be any oversight. You should go. I know some police officers and will ask them to take good care of you. If you keep running, what if those people go to your home to arrest you? How will your parents survive?" As long as you’re not wandering around my daughter, do whatever you want.

Wan Yunhong hesitated while looking at Sun Chan, "Do you really believe me?"

"I believe you. Even if you are scheming, you wouldn’t completely abandon your parents. Plus, you aspire to go higher. You’re less likely to commit murder. You’re not strong enough to kill him," Sun Chan said honestly.

Having no other option after much thought, Wan Yunhong finally agreed, "Alright, I’ll surrender. I thank you for saying such things." She walked a few steps and then looked back at Sun Chan, "I hope when you go back for the New Year, you can help conceal this news from them and bring them some things to look after them."

"Don’t worry. I believe if it’s not you, you’ll definitely be able to go back by the New Year," Sun Chan said.

Wan Yunhong wiped her tears and walked away. Worried that they would indeed go to the countryside to arrest her, she hurried off to surrender. She confessed everything she did clearly, firmly denying that she killed anyone.

The people were all shocked, seems the investigation took a wrong direction. Zhao Jieyun indeed called her friend, and they started a new investigation. Wan Yunhong was also treated considerately.

Wan Yunhong was desolate in the detention center, now completely disheartened. Even if she could come out, she could never have a formal job again—truly unfortunate. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Sun Chan returned home, Yang Dongfeng came with a basin so his daughter could soak her feet and then prepared to sleep.

"How was it? I saw you didn’t look well, what happened?"

"Nothing," Zhao Jieyun didn’t mention Wan Yunhong’s matter as it didn’t concern them.

Hence, she didn’t want to tell her husband and asked about Gu Zishan’s condition.

Yang Dongfeng said, "Today when I checked, he had a mild fever. Kept muttering Liu Weihong’s name, probably thinking of people from the past, right? He was fine when I left."

Sun Chan awkwardly smiled, feeling it inappropriate to discuss her father-in-law’s personal matters.

Zhao Jieyun said, "This is what happens when you’re not firm in your will, that’s why such things happen. Gu Zishan also had his faults. But Liu Weihong never showing up is the biggest punishment for him. If a woman bears a grudge, it lasts forever."

Yang Dongfeng held Zhao Jieyun’s hand affectionately and said, "Yes, I have experienced that. Thankfully, you gave me another chance."

Zhao Jieyun’s face got hot. She glared at her husband and went back to the room. Yang Dongfeng also smiled and spoke a few words to Sun Chan before following her in.

Sun Chan smiled, thinking, her parents’ relationship was good, her grandfather’s illness was healed, family matters seemed resolved, and if Fang Guanghui could be dealt with, then that would be excellent.

The next day, she went to the shop and found out that Fang Guanghui’s company had been shut down, which was truly good news.

Han Dong was smugly smiling, "What do you think? This guy cares most about making money! I blocked his financial sources to mess with him! Moreover, I caught the people who wanted to harm you and left them half-disabled at his company. That guy went quietly to find treatment, I knew he wouldn’t dare."

Sun Chan laughed, "You’re truly amazing, claps for you." Speaking of that incident, Sun Chan felt a cold sweat, she nearly lost her good friend’s child. If anything had really happened, she would never be able to forgive herself.

"No need," Han Dong said, "Fang Guanghui is an indestructible cockroach, he’ll surely fight back. The investigation is slow, so I’ll head south to check it out, planning ahead to pin him down early so we can finally relax."
