Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 136: Capital Punishment

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Capital Punishment

She looked at her bracelet in astonishment.

"Xiao Ke, was that you talking just now?"

Since entering the training base, Xiao Ke had been put into hibernation, retaining only the time display feature.

She had been merely talking to Xiao Ke as a habit, not expecting a reply!

Could it be that being confined in this oppressive place caused her to hear things?

Suddenly, Xiao Ke’s virtual figure rushed out.

She picked up the hem of her puffy skirt, tiptoed, twirled around, and bowed to Yan Qianyi, "Master, it was Xiao Ke talking just now."

Yan Qianyi asked in surprise, "Weren’t you in hibernation? How did you wake up?"

"It was Ah Chang who woke me up."

"Ah Chang?" Yan Qianyi was even more astonished.

Was Ah Chang that capable?

To awaken Xiao Ke, who had been put to sleep by the training base’s system?!

Xiao Ke nodded, "Yes, I’m chatting with Ah Chang right now."

"..." Yan Qianyi tugged at the corner of her lips.

Great, she was suffering here while Xiao Ke was chatting with Ah Chang?

Was it possible for the two systems to communicate privately without her knowledge?

However, now was not the time to be surprised by these.

Now that she had the signal, she immediately logged into the organization.

Seeing Hei Zai online, Yan Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent him a message:

"Hei Zai, can you hack into the Federation Empire Capital Star training base’s surveillance system?"

If he could access today’s footage from the girls’ dormitory, Hei Zai could analyze whether the surveillance had been tampered with.

Hei Zai quickly replied, "It’s difficult. The defense system of the training base is much higher than that of the Federation Military Academy. Although it’s not impossible, it would take a lot of time to break through."

Cat Immortal: "Then can you try?"

Hei Zai: "Even if I succeed in hacking in, the other party could counter-surveil my information, I would be exposed, and I could get the death sentence. Do you want to see me die?"

Yan Qianyi frowned.

She definitely couldn’t implicate Hei Zai.

This method wouldn’t work; she had to think of another way.

Hei Zai sent another message: "Great Sage, have you been clashing with the military lately? A moment it’s the Military Academy, another moment it’s the training base."

Cat Immortal: "Teach me how to analyze if a surveillance video has been tampered with."

Hei Zai: "Damn! You want to be a hacker? Are you planning to steal my job?"

So smart, if he sent her the tutorial, wouldn’t she learn it quickly?

Cat Immortal: "I wasn’t planning to steal your job, just didn’t want to implicate you. Stop dawdling, if you still want to make money with me, send me the tutorial."

Hei Zai: "Alright, I’ll send it to the website’s email. Check it and ask me if you don’t understand anything."

Soon, Hei Zai sent over the tutorial.

Yan Qianyi took a quick look; it didn’t seem too difficult.

Then, she logged out of the organization’s site and asked Xiao Ke, "Can you connect me with Ah Chang?"

Since Xiao Ke could have private chats with Ah Chang, she probably could too, right?

"Of course, Master, I’ll talk to Ah Chang," Xiao Ke responded.

Shortly after, Ah Chang’s voice came from the bracelet, "Madam, how may I serve you?"

Yan Qianyi’s heart leaped with joy.

Never had there been a moment like this when Ah Chang’s voice sounded so melodious!

She quickly asked, "Ah Chang, can you access the surveillance system of the training base and retrieve some footage for me?"

"Madam, I’m truly sorry, but I cannot take such action on my own."

What he implied was not that it couldn’t be done, but that he shouldn’t do it.

His private rights were limited to chatting with Xiao Ke.

More advanced operations required the owner’s consent; he couldn’t make that decision by himself.

"So, it needs Mu Yunlie’s permission, right?" Yan Qianyi asked.

"Yes, Madam."

Yan Qianyi fell silent.

Last time, in her rented apartment, Mu Yunlie and she had parted on bad terms.

Now was hardly the time to ask him for help; it was simply too hard to utter the words.

As Yan Qianyi was hesitating, she suddenly heard the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.

"Xiao Ke, go back," Yan Qianyi said hurriedly.

If discovered, with her personal system not in sleep mode, she would be even more suspected of being a military spy.

The sound of boots on the ground grew closer until it stopped at the door.

Then, the window on the iron door opened.

Yan Qianyi looked up to see that it was Instructor Shi.

Instructor Shi looked at her coldly, a smirk on her face, "How is it? Getting used to living here?"

Yan Qianyi glanced at her, lay on the narrow bed, and casually propped up her legs.

"Thanks to Instructor Shi, it’s very quiet here. No need to squeeze four people into one room, it’s quite comfortable."

"Heh! Still talking tough, do you know how our military deals with military spies?"

Instructor Shi coldly spit out two words, "Death penalty."

Yan Qianyi remained unmoved.

Wasn’t Instructor Shi just here to see how scared she was now?

How could she let her succeed?

"Yan Qianyi, even if there’s no evidence you were in the instructor’s building, there are many suspicions about you. Even if you escape the death penalty, the Military Academy won’t keep you."

Her bracelet was in Yan Qianyi’s cabinet, an undeniable fact.

Yan Qianyi couldn’t explain it clearly, nor did she have evidence that she was the one who put it there.

And where Yan Qianyi had been during the time she disappeared from the surveillance footage, no one could testify.

How could the Military Academy keep such a dubious person?

Yan Qianyi sat up, looked at Instructor Shi, "I finally understand why Mai Hunter broke up with you."

At the mention of Mai Hunter, Instructor Shi’s expression darkened.

That man’s name, like a thorn in her heart, hurt with even the slightest touch.

Yan Qianyi continued, "Because you’re not only ugly; you also have a filthy heart. A great instructor, yet because of baseless rumors, you make life hard for juniors. Doing such despicable things, how are you fit to be a soldier? Do you deserve to wear that uniform?"

Instructor Shi’s face grew paler, and her teeth clenched with a grinding noise.

Yan Qianyi poured salt on her wound.

"Mai Hunter must have seen through your true nature, that’s why he dumped you. He graced you with his brief moments; you should’ve been grateful. To think of having him regard you differently, you first need to learn how to be a human, not behave like an animal."

"Yan Qianyi!" Instructor Shi roared, fiercely slapping the iron door with a loud noise.

"Angry, are you?" Yan Qianyi beckoned to her with a crooked finger, "Come in and hit me then."

"You..." Instructor Shi glared at Yan Qianyi, her eyes practically splitting with rage.

She would’ve loved to rush in and beat Yan Qianyi up.

But she was currently suspended under investigation, and entering the confinement room to assault a cadet would certainly get her expelled from the military.

Instructor Shi took a deep breath and suddenly laughed.
