Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 594: Forcibly Cutting Through Skin and Flesh
Seeing Shirley in such distress, Yan Qianyi said helplessly, "I’ve warned you before, even though your life isn’t in danger now, you still need to rest in bed and recuperate."
Shirley nodded lightly, "Sorry..."
"Hush, it’s okay, I understand how you were feeling just now." Yan Qianyi looked towards Mu Yunlie, "Next time you come home, change out of your uniform first, otherwise she can’t relax seeing you like this."
Previously, when Ah Lie came home every day in his military attire, she couldn’t help but feel tense, and would even salute him without thinking.
Just like Shirley did just now.
Very seriously, very respectfully!
Mu Yunlie nodded, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
Seeing the gentle smile on Mu Yunlie’s face, Shirley was very surprised.
She had never imagined that beneath that cold and frightening mask, there was such a young and handsome face.
Nor did she expect that this man, feared by everyone in the Military Department, could show such a tender side.
The power of love is truly great.
Seeing Shirley lost in thought, Yan Qianyi urged, "Sister Shirley, if you have anything to say to Ah Lie, say it quickly so you can rest soon."
Shirley came back to her senses, "Madam, don’t call me that..."
"You are my senior sister, and I’m a student of Mai Hunter too, so you shouldn’t be calling me Madam in the future," Yan Qianyi joked, "I am younger than you, and besides, in the future, I might even have to address you as ’Mother Instructor’."
Yan Qianyi could feel that Shirley was also very restrained and cautious in front of her.
Probably because she was the Commander’s Wife.
She wanted to make Shirley feel more at ease, as it would also help her recovery.
Shirley expressed her difficulty, "Then... let’s just call each other as we normally would."
To call the Commander’s Wife by her name directly would be disrespectful to the Commander.
Mu Yunlie sat down on the sofa, "Go ahead."
"There was a time when I was observing Dempsey, I saw him together with Shi Sheng..."
Shirley recounted all the information she knew.
It turned out that when she was in the Morris Empire, she had discovered collusion between the Minister of Ordnance Shi Sheng and Dempsey.
Upon discovering her, Shi Sheng, wanting to keep his secrets hidden, attempted to assassinate her.
Failing to kill her, he slandered her, accusing her of betraying the Federation Empire and colluding with Dempsey.
Shi Sheng and Dempsey conspired together to have her killed, with the false evidence provided by Dempsey, which was why the Federation Empire recalled her for interrogation.
Shi Sheng was very good at networking and was quite popular within the Military Department, wielding significant power.
Therefore, when she was being interrogated and revealed Shi Sheng’s secrets, no one believed her at all.
Later, her body was poisoned with unknown drugs.
After listening, Mu Yunlie clenched his fists, "The Special Department takes such a casual approach to investigating and interrogating its personnel!"
Yan Qianyi sighed, "Indeed, it’s true that ’seeing the face does not mean you know the heart.’ Shi Sheng’s reputation was very good, even our students at the Military Academy knew it."
Mu Yunlie said gravely, "That doesn’t mean he should be overlooked when others report him because of his usual good reputation!"
He frowned and looked at Shirley, "Do you have evidence to prove the dealings between Shi Sheng and Dempsey?"
Although Dempsey had already been executed for his earlier crimes of attempting murder and sabotaging the friendship between the two countries.
Now the Federation Empire and the Morris Empire had also signed a treaty of friendship.
But the crimes committed by Shi Sheng were unforgivable!
"I have evidence!" Shirley nodded, "It’s hidden inside my body."
Yan Qianyi was shocked, "Hidden inside your body?"
The Special Department indeed had a class that taught how to hide important clues in desperate situations, including one method which was to hide them in one’s own body.
Shirley said, "Yes, in my thigh, there’s a chip that won’t be detected by a scanner, it contains videos and photos of Shi Sheng and Dempsey meeting and dealing with each other."
Yan Qianyi asked in confusion, "Since you had evidence, why didn’t you produce it at the time to prove what you were saying was true?"
Shirley hadn’t answered yet when Mu Yunlie said through gritted teeth, "Because she didn’t dare trust anyone!"
Shirley nodded, tears of emotion appearing in her eyes, "Lord Commander is right, I didn’t dare to hand the evidence over to them, I was worried that among them were people of Minister Shi who would destroy or falsify my evidence, so at that time I kept requesting to see you personally, but my requests were always denied."
Mu Yunlie’s handsome face tensed, and he asked Yan Qianyi, "With her current physical condition, can we extract the chip hidden in her body?"
Yan Qianyi said, "It’s possible, but it will certainly cause trauma to the body, and she is very weak right now, even a small external wound could affect her body’s recovery, so I suggest, still wait..."
"Madam, I don’t want to wait any longer." Shirley said urgently, "I never imagined that after six years, Shi Sheng is still at large, and I want to expose his crimes immediately!"
Yan Qianyi had already told Shirley that she had been in cryogenic sleep for six years.
Thinking of how Shi Sheng had not been exposed after all this time made it difficult for Shirley to reconcile.
"Then let’s begin," said Mu Yunlie, standing up and walking out.
Seeing that both of them were set on proceeding, Yan Qianyi didn’t say anything more and took a scalpel from the various medical equipment prepared in the room.
"Wait a moment, I’ll first inject an anesthetic into your leg, and once it takes effect, I’ll remove the chip."
"There’s no need, just go ahead, I don’t want to wait another second," Shirley said, and then she began to take off her trousers herself.
Shi Sheng had caused her so much suffering, not to mention how long he had been free.
He was a termite within the Federation Empire!
Every moment he remained was a loss to the Empire!
Now she just wanted to quickly hand over the evidence to the Lord Commander.
So he could immediately order the arrest of Shi Sheng!
Yan Qianyi frowned, "Cutting through the flesh raw will hurt."
Shirley replied, "As a military officer of the Special Department, I’ve sustained many injuries on duty. Sometimes, to avoid exposing my identity, I couldn’t go to the hospital for treatment and had to bear the pain and treat myself. It’s okay, I’m used to it, I’m not afraid of pain, let’s start."
"Alright, at what position?"
Shirley pointed to a spot on the inside of her thigh.
Yan Qianyi looked and saw many scars on Shirley’s legs.
For a regular girl, those scars, varied in length and depth, were certainly unsightly.
But for Shirley, each scar was an honor in defending her homeland.
"I’m starting now." Yan Qianyi, holding a sterilized scalpel, cut directly into the flesh of Shirley’s leg and located a very small chip.
After extracting the chip, she looked up at Shirley, "Can you still hold on?"
Shirley smiled slightly, "No problem, it just feels like a mosquito bite."
She smiled so brightly, but her forehead was already covered in sweat, and her complexion was even paler.
