Chapter 257: Major Tianqi

The incessant ringing of the doorbell finally woke Jiang Qiuqiu.

"Miss Jiang, are you there?"

Jiang Qiuqiu lifted her hand and glanced at her terminal. She’d just woken up, and to her surprise, it was already three-thirty.

Her headache had eased. She got to her feet, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, perhaps because she’d moved too fast.

She stood still for a moment to steady herself, then walked to the door. After checking the entryway’s monitor and confirming it was the security guard, Jiang Qiuqiu opened it.

However, it wasn’t the Federation police who came in, but three soldiers in dark green military uniforms.

"Hello, Miss Jiang." A female soldier stepped in front of Jiang Qiuqiu. She wasn’t smiling, but her expression was reassuring and her voice was steady as she took Jiang Qiuqiu’s hand. "We’re here to ask about what happened this afternoon."

At first, everyone remained standing.

Noticing the marks on Jiang Qiuqiu’s neck, the bruises on her body, and the weariness in her eyes, the female soldier guided her to sit down on the sofa.

"Miss Jiang, can you describe what happened this afternoon?"

"I was returning from the Federation Commercial District in a Hovercar today. About 1,200 meters from my residential complex, in the Evergreen Forest, the Hovercar’s wing was damaged, and I had to make an emergency landing right there."

After that, she was followed. A man appeared out of nowhere, having laid in wait for her.

Jiang Qiuqiu shared her suspicions with the group. "The Hovercar’s emergency landing must have been deliberate. The man’s face... it was completely nondescript. No distinguishing features. It looked fake. And when he made any expression, it seemed a little unnatural."

"I think he was a Mercenary. When he made his move, he even relayed a message from his employer."

"He relayed a message?" one of the soldiers frowned. ’How brazen, to dare pull something like this near Starry Sky Wander.’ "In that case, Miss Jiang, do you have anyone in mind?"

"Yes."

’There was no doubt. Only one person would say something like that—the "noble" who’d caused this body’s original owner to lose her dream, the one who treated human life as if it were worthless.’

"It must be Jiang Tianming from the Jiang Family, a second-class noble of the Federation."

The moment she said Jiang Tianming’s name, the two soldiers on the sofa exchanged a look of utter disbelief.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s head was still aching slightly as she sat on the sofa, so she didn’t notice their expressions.

After taking down some more information and the coordinates of the incident, the three of them stood up. "We will investigate this matter further. Detailed results should be available soon, and we will contact you via your terminal once they are."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank us. It’s our duty." Before she left, the female soldier advised Jiang Qiuqiu with a serious expression, "You mentioned you engaged in a spiritual struggle with that Mercenary. Whether you feel anything or not, you should go to the Federation First Hospital for a spiritual power screening to prevent any lingering after-effects."

The three of them couldn’t help but start discussing the moment they stepped out of Jiang Qiuqiu’s house.

"I never thought that after all this time, I’d hear the surname Jiang again... especially not like this." The female soldier had a complicated expression. "I wonder if Miss Jiang could be mistaken."

"She seemed so certain. She doesn’t strike me as the type to make baseless accusations. Besides—" one of the men couldn’t help but interject, "Major Tianqi is his own person. Before, when he was still around, he mentioned how unruly his younger brother was. And taking a step back, even if it really was that Jiang who did this, it has nothing to do with Major Tianqi."

They continued on, and soon arrived at the Evergreen Forest.

The coordinates Jiang Qiuqiu had marked were precise. It didn’t take them long to find the spot.

There were bloodstains on the ground, along with a few bags of clothes and a smashed delivery robot. They crouched down, using containers to collect samples of the blood and other evidence. Afterward, the female soldier gathered the robot, which was broken in two, and the bags of clothes, and made another trip back to Jiang Qiuqiu’s house.
