Chapter 102 The Federal Army Arrives, Sister Cyan is in Danger! ...

After her subordinates left, Ye Xi's expression gradually softened. She took a sip of tea to calm herself down.

Thinking that the person in front of her was also a student of the First Army, she couldn't help but say a few more words, "I have a younger brother who is very naughty. He stays at home all day playing games. It's one thing if he doesn't go out, but a few months ago he even met an online friend in the game and insisted on sneaking out to 'meet up'?"

"They're so spoiled, they're so disobedient."

As Pei Qing listened, she suddenly realized that the 'younger brother' she was talking about sounded so much like Ye Ling! Wait a minute, isn't the 'Ye' in Ye Ling's name the same 'Ye'?!

What a small world! In such a vast sea of ​​stars, I actually managed to meet Ye Ling's older sister.

What a coincidence! Pei Qing was filled with emotion.

"Ha, I really want to meet that so-called online friend who has my brother so infatuated and can't forget me. Just how attractive and charming is he?" Ye Xi smiled kindly, his cup clinking against the table.

Pei Qian shrank back silently, not daring to say another word. If Ye Xi found out that she was the so-called online friend, she'd be doomed.

The younger brother of the man took the initiative to come to find her on a remote planet, and she even slept with him... Pei Qing couldn't help but close her eyes. The most important thing was that after going around in circles, she later met the man's older sister.

The crucial point is that the older sister has no idea that the seemingly harmless 'fake college student' sitting in front of her drinking tea is actually the damned online acquaintance who kidnapped her brother…

Very good, extremely hellish, a truly hellish joke, haha.

"You must be a little tired, Pei Qing. Go to your room and rest. Once we reach the Seventh Star District, I'll send someone to take you to the local rescue service center, where their dedicated staff will arrange for you to get home."

"Yes, thank you, young master." Pei Qian thanked him sincerely. She had been worried that Ye Xi might force her to stay on the starship because of his suspicions, but now it seemed that he didn't have that intention.

Great! Once she reaches the Seventh Star Sector, she'll immediately send a signal to Feng Qi and the others to ask about their plans...

Pei Qing lay resting in the temporary room, her hands behind her head, eyes closed, contemplating. She had a good plan. However, as is often the case with beautiful imaginations, reality is often harsh.

At this moment, Pei Qing had no idea that in about half an hour, she would be welcoming an 'old friend,' an 'old friend' who had been thinking about her for a long time.

"Beep—beep—! Beep!" The starship's alert system suddenly began spinning wildly, and ominous red lights flashed incessantly. All communication devices were rendered useless, seemingly blocked by some powerful mental force.

Ye Xi was quietly looking at documents in her room when the alarm system sounded. She suddenly looked up at the window, her eyes flashing with tiny streams of data.

"Military personnel... why are they here?"

"Could there be a problem with the goods...?"

Ye Xi had just stood up when his subordinate rushed in, sweating profusely and looking terrified. "Young Master! Young Master! Something terrible has happened!"

"Huff! Huff! Army! Army... Our caravan is surrounded by warships!!!"

Ye Xi immediately slammed down the document and rushed off, shouting, "Let's go! To the driver's seat!"

Why are the soldiers surrounding the caravan?! Could there be a problem with the cargo inspection?! This shipment is extremely important; we absolutely cannot afford any problems!!!

"Send a communication request to the enemy's main ship!" Ye Xi placed his hands on the control panel and issued the command methodically.

"Yes, yes..." The driver's hands were shaking so badly that he was unable to operate the machine properly.

Ye Xi took a deep breath, pushed aside the trembling driver, and personally took over to send out the communication request.

A few seconds later, the request was approved. A face she never expected appeared brightly on the communication screen.

"Your Excellency Marshal?" Ye Xi's pupils constricted as he looked at the familiar face that often appeared at the head of meetings, and his hands clenched involuntarily.

"Hello, Ye Xi." Feng Lin nodded, a faint smile appearing on his usually stern face.

"This concludes our reminiscing. Next, I will follow federal regulations and make reasonable arrests of all members of the Ye family caravan."

"What does Your Excellency Marshal mean by this? According to the Federal Basic Law, those arrested have the right to refuse all unreasonable requests from judicial personnel. The Ye family caravan has not committed any illegal or criminal acts, so what right does the military have to forcibly arrest them?" Ye Xi's expression was cold and hard, his lips pressed into a straight line.

“Alright, since you’ve asked, I do have a responsibility to explain this to the person who was arrested.” Feng Lin raised his head slightly, as if he had anticipated this situation. “Your company is suspected of harboring and concealing a federal SSS-level wanted criminal. The evidence is conclusive, so you have been arrested.”

"Wanted criminal? How could it be..." Ye Xi suddenly recalled Pei Qing's harmless and delicate face. The sense of danger that had flashed through her mind came back like a tide. Could it really be her?

“Pei Qing, it’s her,” Ye Xi said softly. “She’s the wanted criminal.”

“Yes.” Feng Lin looked up, somewhat surprised. Ye Xi had guessed it so quickly. Few people could resist the effects of 'assimilation'. It seemed her suppression was very strong, but perhaps it was also related to the special nature of Ye Xi's ability.

Ye Xi's special ability is data visualization and multi-scale data processing, essentially making her a humanoid intelligent machine with a living, beating heart. Therefore, thanks to this special ability, even if her mind is somewhat clouded, her inner rationality continues to function steadily.

Once the guess was confirmed, the sense of danger that had been inexplicably ignored in his mental sea belatedly resurfaced. Ye Xi's eyes trembled, and a strand of golden hair fell to the side of his face. "Her ability is related to the mind, which can reduce others' wariness and increase their trust?"

"Intelligent," Feng Lin nodded approvingly, his heart filled with a desire to cherish talent. Perhaps the best thing the former head of the Ye family did was to strongly recommend Ye Xi as the young head of the family before his death.

She is intelligent and perceptive enough to assess situations and remain humble yet assertive. She is a rare talent, far superior to her disappointing daughter.

However, we still need to deal with this urgent matter first before considering further developments. Thinking of this, Feng Lin regretfully withdrew his gaze and said, "However, you only guessed most of it correctly. Since she has been classified as a top-level wanted criminal by the Federation, she will naturally be more dangerous than you imagine. If we delay any longer, the lives of your entire ship will be in danger."

Ye Xi was always good at analyzing expressions and knew that it was not convenient to pry into the deeper meaning of this matter, so he spoke up in time: "Thank you for your guidance, Marshal. May I ask how our personnel should cooperate in the capture?"

"Smart children are always endearing. Remember not to act rashly. Just open the connection channel. If Pei Qing notices anything unusual, be sure to reassure her."

"Okay, I understand."

After Feng Lin finished speaking, he closed the communication and glanced at his subordinate beside him, who was silent and unusually quiet. His eyes held an ambiguous meaning.

"Nolan, what do you think? Is there anything wrong with this plan?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, there are no objections." Upon hearing this, Nolan immediately looked up, subtly concealing his inner emotions, a dark glint flashing in the small scales at the corners of his eyes.

He gave a crisp military salute, his hands pressed firmly against his trouser seams, standing ramrod straight. The badges on his uniform shoulders gleamed, perfectly complementing his tall, muscular frame.

"That's good." Feng Lin turned around, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The well-trained federal soldiers silently infiltrated the Ye family's starship, each wearing a thick, airtight protective suit.

Looking at the protective suits, Ye Xi felt a sense of foreboding. Could it be... that SSS-level federal fugitive's ability... is infectious?

His subordinates led the fully armed troops to Pei Qian's room, where they stood ready for battle.

Little did they know, the people inside the house had already woken up.

Pei Qing pressed her eyes against the corner of the wall, trying to keep her body as small as possible, not daring to move an inch. She peeked out from under the door, intending to see how many people were on the other side.

Tsk, there seem to be a lot of people... Oh no, this is bad. I thought my luck was improving, but it turns out my bad luck has just been postponed. Hehe.

There were too many people, and they were well-equipped; a direct confrontation was definitely out of the question. Her mental state was completely depleted, and she didn't know how long it would take to recover. Hmm, if she were to detach from her human form and revert to her original body, would she have any chance of escaping?

Pei Qian thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible. This wasn't the first or second time she had acted inhumanly, and she could act inhumanly when necessary! To prevent the commotion from being discovered by outsiders, she decided to start with her mind.

The eyes disappeared first, leaving two dark holes on the face, then the nose, ears, hair... and finally the mouth.

For some reason, the mouth seemed to have its own thoughts, stubbornly persisting. Pei Qing tried for a long time, expending a lot of effort, before finally making it disappear; otherwise, having only a mouth left on a blob of black fluid would have been extremely bizarre.

Slowly, the dark, viscous semi-fluid dripped down and gathered... In a short while, a pool of dark fluid flowed on the ground, wriggling little by little at a speed of half a meter every ten seconds.

On the other side, Feng Qi, who was putting on protective clothing, paused. She sensed the information transmitted by mental energy and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

After all these years, how come this person is still the same?

"Marshal, are you really going there in person?" Nolan looked at his retreating figure, seemingly somewhat worried.

"Hahaha, if I don't go over there soon, he might run away," Feng Qi said as she finished putting on her protective suit.

"But..." Mengran seemed to want to say something more.

"Alright, that's enough. If I don't go over there soon, he'll really escape." Feng Qi interrupted Nolan and got up to walk towards the hatch.

"Commander Yuan, let me go with you. I'll ensure your safety."

"No need. You just need to keep track of its movements and report to me if there are any abnormalities." Feng Qi always trusted his intuition. Although Nolan had acted loyally since his return, deep down he always felt that Nolan was not as loyal as he appeared.

Feng Qi ignored Nuolan and naturally didn't see the fleeting worry and joy in his eyes.

Pei Qing struggled to climb and climb until she finally emerged from the room and arrived at the feet of one of the federal soldiers. She silently observed for a while, but it seemed that no one had noticed the unidentified object on the ground.

Excellent, excellent, victory is within reach, as long as he arrives...

"You're really working hard,"

A dark blue military boot landed precisely on the pool of unidentified viscous semi-fluid, and the added powerful mental force rendered Pei Qing unable to move.

"You agree, don't you?"

“Pei, cyan.”

Huh?! What the heck?!

Pei Qing's danger warning radar spun wildly, and her desperate struggles were to no avail.

Worse still, under the pressure of this mental force, she discovered that she seemed completely unable to transform into human form!
