The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 540 Communication
find her?

Jiang Hui wondered why so many people were looking for her today...

She felt inexplicably at ease with him, perhaps because he had once saved her life, and Stark had also told her that he was a sergeant of good character.

Therefore, after hearing what the other person said, she thought about it and followed them. Jiang Hui also wanted to know who could have broken through the military's blockade to find Zong Ting and contact her. Could it be one of those people?
However, the officer did not intend to give her the answer; he simply led her away from the medical ward and through the long corridor of the military law department.

Along the way, they often encountered soldiers in neat uniforms saluting the imperial court. This made Jiang Hui marvel at how sharp these people's eyesight was; even though they were practically flying, they could still notice passing officers and stop to salute.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a place that resembled an office area. It was very quiet there, with few people around.

The other person led her into an inner room, and Jiang Hui followed.

But because she had hardly any contact with this officer, even though she was considered a fairly bold person, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward. However, she quickly regained her composure and silently watched as he turned on the light and then seemed to wander around the room, looking for something.

The young officer paced a few steps, and seeing the girl still standing cautiously by the door watching him, he raised his hand to gesture for her to come over.

Let's take this as an order from the superior. Jiang Hui went along with it and found a seat near the door.

Only now did she have time to look around the room, which was clearly a temporary requisition. It was a fairly large standard room, the kind of meeting room used for conferences.

Law-related slogans were still posted on the wall, indicating that they had not left the military law office's premises. Then, in the center, where she was currently sitting, was a large circular conference table with a large metal protrusion in the middle, surrounded by projection buttons and controls for adjusting the lighting.

The circular conference table, which could easily accommodate hundreds of people, was now surrounded by only her, leaving it empty and creating a rather awkward feeling.

The door closed automatically after they entered, and the indoor air conditioning automatically adjusted, creating a relatively comfortable environment without them having to do anything.

Jiang Hui initially didn't understand what Zong Ting was looking for, but after a while, she realized that he wasn't looking for anything, but rather inspecting—meticulously and attentively inspecting, not missing a single detail. This man showed no airs of authority whatsoever, doing everything himself.

This officer was quite unexpected; after she had formed her impression of the other person, she displayed a completely different side. However, regardless of which side she showed, she was meticulous and almost standardized, which was rather intimidating.

The other party finished their investigation and returned to Jiang Hui's side, sitting down a few seats away from her, seemingly ready to start a conversation.

This was a rather unique way of communicating, quite different from the usual face-to-face interaction, and the pressure was immediately reduced. Jiang Hui was still thinking that she hadn't expected this superior to be so considerate, when the other party suddenly took out a necklace-style personal terminal. The design of this personal terminal... why does it look so familiar? It took Jiang Hui a while to realize that it was her personal terminal.

Recalling the various checks the other party had done earlier, Jiang Hui disregarded the other party's status as an officer and subconsciously called out, "Please wait a moment!"

The other person's fingers, which were holding the necklace, paused slightly. Jiang Hui realized that she had overreacted, and then she saw that the other person was looking at her calmly, with eyes as still as a deep pool as she had seen at the beginning.

Despite not expressing any particular emotion or uttering any questions, Jiang Hui felt inexplicably embarrassed. What was she doing? Why had she suddenly become so rude?

But she didn't regret it, because even with the officer who had saved her, Jiang Hui was never superstitious. She always maintained independent judgment when it came to matters concerning herself.

Although she wouldn't have followed Zongting so easily if it weren't for him, she didn't let her guard down. She only felt a little relieved after observing that the other party didn't make any attempt to conceal their presence as they led her here.

She had assumed it was some powerful figure with vested interests who wanted to summon her to investigate related leads, but she hadn't expected Zong Ting to start checking the meeting room on his own as soon as he arrived. He was being so careful, and now he was pulling out the personal computer that she was supposed to have handed over to the military for safekeeping... But she had been ordered by her superiors not to contact the outside world for the time being, and this was the scene before her.

Considering that the other party should know Stark, Jiang Hui was a little worried that perhaps her Uncle Tang couldn't reach anyone and couldn't help but ask a former student for help. But that would clearly be against the rules and regulations, which wasn't a good idea.

Jiang Hui wasn't the rigid type, lacking flexibility. However, in order to integrate into the interstellar world, she had thoroughly studied over a dozen versions of common interstellar laws, including some particularly obscure fundamental principles, knowing the strictness of law enforcement in this world. No one, unless they possessed sufficient power and influence, should challenge the dignity of this imperial law.

The military, in particular, maintains very strict control over its officers. Even officers of considerable rank like Stark and Zongting are still subject to varying degrees of punishment if they are found to have violated the law.

If it can be avoided, then this contact is unnecessary. Jiang Hui felt it was better not to take the risk; it would be better to just ask Colonel Zong to let her know he was safe.

But what could she say? She couldn't exactly yell, "Sir, we can't break the law!" She felt like she'd be treated like an idiot...

Just as Jiang Hui was racking her brains for a gentle explanation and persuasion, she heard the other party say calmly, "The military has approved Instructor Stark's application to communicate with you."

"Applied for?" Jiang Hui didn't know whether she felt relieved or suddenly realized why Zong Ting had openly told the soldiers guarding her not to come and instead brought her here himself, and why he hadn't tried to hide anything while leading her here... because it was an order approved by the military.

Stark applied to the military for permission to communicate with her, who was not fully awakened under his guardianship. He guessed that Zongting had simply accepted the task of supervising her and allowed them to communicate. He had even mistakenly thought that the military was using a private matter for their own convenience.

She really was... to think in that direction for no reason. She knew perfectly well how fair and upright Stark Tang and this sect leader were, so how could they possibly act like that?
