Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 222: Kill Her to Silence Her

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Kill Her to Silence Her

Yan Chuhua suddenly felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles, standing up and pacing anxiously around the dormitory.

Yun Mu had never asked to meet her alone before, especially not at night.

Could it be that he had discovered that, in fact, her hypnosis had been successful on him today?

Although she had interrupted Yun Mu in time, those few words Yun Mu had spoken still echoed in her mind.

"Secret mission."

"Approach the"

Put together, these seven words made her guess Yun Mu’s identity—a spy.

Approach the... what?

Commander?!

Yan Chuhua bit her fingertips, truly dreading to think further.

At this moment, Yun Mu called her again.

She was so scared she wanted to throw away her bracelet immediately.

"Wuwuwuwu..." Yan Chuhua collapsed to the ground, covering her little face and crying.

Yun Mu asking to meet her out tonight—could it be that he wanted to kill her to silence her?

It was so distressing...

She had always thought Yun Mu was a very good person.

Why did God play such a joke on her?

She really regretted it now; she knew she should have let Xue Xiaoguang be her guinea pig today.

She finally understood what curiosity killed the cat meant!

The call ended, and Yun Mu sent another message.

"Chuhua, let’s have a chat."

Surely, he must have realized she was lying!

Yan Chuhua wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and tried to remain calm.

She had left her home alone, traveling tumultuously to the Federation Empire’s Capital Star—she was not a timid coward!

"Just taking a shower, coming down."

After replying to the message, Yan Chuhua gathered her courage and walked downstairs.

When she arrived at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory, she saw Yun Mu.

He leaned casually against a street lamp, warm yellow light spilling over him.

A summer night, a handsome young man under the streetlamp, and fireflies fluttering sporadically.

Yan Chuhua thought the scene before her eyes was incredibly beautiful yet immensely fragile.

Yun Mu lifted his eyelids to look at her, his deep gray eyes shadowed by his lashes, yet holding back the myriad stars.

He smiled slightly, tilting his chin toward the garden on the right, "Let’s go."

Yan Chuhua followed behind him silently, head bowed, not saying a word.

Yun Mu remained silent too, the two walked one after the other.

After walking for a long time, Yun Mu suddenly stopped and turned around.

Yan Chuhua didn’t notice and bumped right into his chest.

She hastily stepped back, surprised as she looked up into his smiling eyes.

"Chuhua, do you seem very afraid of me?"

"Ah, no... I’m not," Yan Chuhua quickly shook her head.

"I know you succeeded in hypnotizing me today."

Yan Chuhua dumbly opened her mouth, looking uneasily around.

There were still couples dating in the garden; surely Yun Mu wouldn’t kill her here?

"Tell me, what did you ask me?" Yun Mu stepped closer to her.

She nervously closed her eyes, thinking quickly, "Yun Mu, I like you!"

Yun Mu’s advancing steps abruptly halted, and he tilted his head slightly, examining her nervously tense face.

Yan Chuhua’s palms were sweaty.

Having said she liked him, he hopefully wouldn’t kill her now, would he?

"Yes, I did hypnotize you successfully today!" Yan Chuhua opened her eyes and mustered the courage to meet Yun Mu’s gaze.

Yun Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice gentle, "Then what did you ask me?"

"I... I asked whom you liked, and you said you liked Qianyi. I was a bit saddened, so that’s why I’ve been down all day and didn’t dare to talk to you."

She was sure Yun Mu liked Qianyi because Yun Mu usually paid a lot of attention to Qianyi.

That way, Yun Mu wouldn’t find out she had uncovered his secret mission.

So clever!

"I said I liked Qianyi?" A hint of incredulous amusement flickered in Yun Mu’s eyes.

"Yes!" Yan Chuhua asserted, "After all, Qianyi is already married. I feared that revealing your feelings would make things awkward for you later, maybe even ruining the friendship. That’s why I lied, saying the hypnosis hadn’t worked."

Yun Mu seemed thoughtful and chuckled softly.

"What... what are you laughing at?"

"I thought you had discovered my peculiarity."

"Pe... peculiarity?"

"Yes." Yun Mu nodded earnestly, "Actually, I’m from the Cannibal Tribe. I like to eat children, especially pretty and cute little girls like you, with your tender, deliciously smooth skin. They taste very fragrant."

(ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!! Yan Chuhua’s eyes widened in horror, her voice trembling, "Yun Mu, you... you..."

Yun Mu suddenly burst into loud laughter, reaching out to ruffle her hair, "Silly girl, I’m just kidding with you."

"..." Yan Chuhua.

He leaned closer to her, his deep gray eyes as gentle as water, "Don’t worry, you’re someone I would never hurt."

Yan Chuhua blinked her thick lashes, somewhat dazed.

Yun Mu turned and began walking back, "Come on, I’ll take you back to the dormitory."

Yan Chuhua still stood there, stunned.

He looked back at her, "Forget tonight ever happened, just remember what I said last."

Yan Chuhua nodded blankly.

"Aren’t you coming? Be careful, there might be members of the Cannibal Tribe in the garden who eat little girls."

Yan Chuhua hurriedly followed him.

Under the streetlights, the long shadows of two figures, one tall and one short, stretched out on the ground.

That day, just as Mu Yunlie had returned to the office from the early military meeting, Pei Yuexuan rushed in.

Mu Yunlie glanced at him coldly, "What is it?"

"Sir, you had me track that Catwoman, and I’ve finally spotted her recently!"

"Oh?" Mu Yunlie leaned back on the sofa, "Let’s hear it."

"She has recently appeared on Capital Star. The people who have died these past nights seem to be linked to her."

Mu Yunlie frowned slightly, "Who have died?"

"They weren’t good people, involved in arms smuggling, human trafficking, all wanted by the police."

Mu Yunlie pondered, "Suddenly committing crimes frequently on Capital Star, why?"

"I don’t know. To be so bold on Capital Star, maybe... desperate for money?"

"Focus on the persons Capital Star police is actively chasing, wait for the opportunity."

"Right, I’ll arrange it immediately!"

"By the way, isn’t the Military Academy restarting the outdoor comprehensive training for freshmen tomorrow?"

"Yes, sir."

"Keep a close eye on it, no accidents must happen this time."

"Understood!"

"Go."

Mu Yunlie looked out the window. He had been busy with Military Department affairs these two days and hadn’t visited the Military Academy or contacted Yan Qianyi.

Tomorrow, she would be in the week-long outdoor training.

He wouldn’t see her for the coming week.

Therefore, after finishing up, Mu Yunlie headed to Yan Qianyi’s villa in the evening.

He knew since she moved, she mostly stayed at home, hardly staying at the academy.

Just after getting out of the car, he suddenly noticed a figure darting through the dark corner.

He quickly followed, realizing the slender figure was indeed Catwoman!
