Chapter 4: The Commander, the Dignity of the Strongest Officer
As Jonathan explained, the sound of discussion outside the door was heard again.
"Oh, so they are an engaged couple..."
"It's perfectly normal for a young couple to meet in a guesthouse. Why are they making such a fuss about it as if they were catching an adulterer?"
"Who on earth made this report? It's really a waste of everyone's time..."
Some people have already believed what Jonathan said, and since there is nothing exciting to watch, they are ready to turn around and leave.
However, there was also someone who jumped up with excitement when she saw Juliana. This person was Cindy.
"Juliana! You are here!" As soon as she spoke, she was so aggressive. She pointed her finger at Juliana and said arrogantly, "Impossible! How could you be engaged to this man? You must be talking nonsense. You must have done something shameful and lied to cover it up."
Facing Cindy's harsh words, Juliana remained calm.
She was no longer the cowardly original owner who would tremble in fear and keep her head down and dare not speak when Cindy accused her. Now was the time for her to fight back.
Juliana smiled softly, with stars twinkling in her eyes, and a cunning flashed across her face. She asked back, "Cousin, you said that he and I are not engaged, so what is our relationship?"
" You are my best cousin, and you know that I am in this guesthouse. You must know everything, right?"
"But why did you come to the guesthouse to look for me, and why did you bring the inspection team with you? Do you want to arrest me, or do you want to ruin my reputation and make me die?"
Juliana's voice was neither loud nor soft, and there was a hint of tenderness in her words, but in just a few words, she revealed the truth of the matter.
Anyone with a brain would find this matter strange if they thought about it. A close cousin actually brought an inspection team to arrest my cousin... And the timing was just right, when my cousin was in the room with a man... The time, the place, the people... It was all too coincidental!
Unless - this was a trap!
This guess flashed through Jonathan's mind in an instant. The man's dark and deep eyes, shining with cold light, shot at Cindy like a sharp arrow.
The medicine in the kettle... the absurd blind date process... the chaotic guesthouse... the sudden appearance of the inspection team... Jonathan 's suspicions seemed to have a reasonable explanation. And the person who calculated all this is most likely Cindy . Jonathan 's eyes sank. Cindy had no idea that the Juliana in front of her had changed into a different person. She thought she was the cowardly and easily bullied original owner. So she never expected that Juliana would refute her words, and even directly expose her design and frame-up, which almost exposed her vicious true face.
Cindy was anxious and panicked, and became furious. "You...you...you Juliana , when did you become so sharp-tongued!" She couldn't think of any excuses to defend herself, and she was used to being violent and aggressive, so she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to attack Juliana .
" You little bitch! I think you don't want to go home! If I don't show you some power today, you will forget who I am!" As she spoke, Cindy 's sharp nails went straight to Juliana .
Juliana was about to dodge, but she found that someone was faster than her. Jonathan took a big step forward, and the man's large palm was like a pair of pliers, and he grabbed Cindy 's wrist. His strength was accurate and fierce, and in an instant, Cindy screamed.
" Ah... my hand... my hand is going to break... ah ah ah..." Jonathan snorted disdainfully, and then he exerted force, loosened his palm and pushed, and threw the screaming Cindy out. Bang! Cindy fell heavily on her butt. As a result, not only did her wrist hurt, but her butt was also in pain, and she kept wailing and screaming.
Jonathan didn't even frown, turned to the inspection team members beside him, and said in a cold voice: "Since you are members of the inspection team, you should be serious and responsible. People who make trouble in public like this should not be arrested and educated and reformed?"
"... Yes, yes, you are right, we will definitely take care of it, we will definitely take care of it." Under Jonathan 's momentum, the two inspection team members nodded frequently. One of them held down Cindy who was shouting and screaming, and the other said to Jonathan embarrassedly: "Comrade, we believe what you said, but according to convention, we still need to check your documents."
Jonathan nodded in agreement. He turned around and walked in front of Juliana , and the two stood very close. While he used his body to tightly block the sight of people around him, he pulled open Juliana 's military jacket. His black eyes paused on the snow-white skin for a moment, then he reached out from the inner pocket to take out his officer's ID and handed it to the inspection team member next to him.
The man took it respectfully, opened it and took a look, and his eyes widened immediately. He trembled and shouted: "Regiment...Regiment...Captain!" The man revealed Jonathan's rank in a shocked and terrified voice, and his jaw almost dropped.
Except for the time traveler Juliana , no one expected that this young-looking man was actually the head of an army, with a high position and power, and was out of reach. Jonathan was not only the head of the army, but also the strongest officer in Area A , with a personal record that no one could match.
Cindy 's reaction was particularly intense. She was still wailing wildly the previous second, and the next second she immediately stopped and looked at Jonathan . Her eyes widened with disbelief. Juliana 's blind date turned out to be a head of an army! How is it possible! Juliana, that little bitch, how could she have a blind date with a head of a army! And they were engaged so soon!
Overnight, a strong fire of jealousy burned in her heart. Jonathan was unmoved by the changes around him. He still stood beside Juliana as a protector , and stretched out his arm to hold Juliana 's waist and pulled her into his arms. The man's arms were full of possessiveness, as if silently declaring sovereignty.
It 's just... so thin and soft. Has she never had enough to eat? A strange color flashed quickly in Jonathan's dark eyes, but he immediately said seriously: "Our introducer is Ruby , the women's director of the textile factory , and her lover is Commander Browns of the A District Army , who is also my direct leader. If you have any doubts about the relationship between me and my fiancée, you can call now to verify our identities."
He once again elaborated on his relationship with Juliana . In the middle of the conversation, he mentioned the director of women's affairs and the head of District A. How could the few clerks of the inspection team have the courage to call the head of the army? Jonathan 's officer's ID alone was enough to make them feel suffocated.
" No, no! Jonathan , we definitely believe what you say!" The man said, and returned the officer's ID to Jonathan respectfully . Then, the inspection team not only took Cindy away , but also dispersed the onlookers outside the door. The noisy guesthouse finally quieted down.
The opening scene of "catching an adulterer" ended in disappointment. Juliana not only did not fall into the calculations of her vicious cousin, but she also got a military officer husband for free. This is a complete profit!!! When she and Jonathan walked out of the guesthouse together, she felt a little light-headed. One was happy in her heart, and the other was because of physical reasons, her legs were still a little weak. Outside the guesthouse, Juliana looked around, trying to adapt to this world, and thinking about how to get home.
At this moment, a dark green military vehicle stopped in front of her. It was a military jeep with a red license plate! Juliana had lived for so many years, and this was the first time she had seen such a vehicle. She was filled with curiosity.
A young man got out of the driver's seat, walked up to Jonathan, saluted him straight, and said in a loud voice, "Hello, Commander!"
