Chapter 102: I Want To Do As I Please (4)

Yu Qici stared at the ceiling.

The lights in her vision were blurry, and she vaguely saw two shadows.

She didn’t know when she had been taken out of that room. When she regained consciousness, she was lying in a normal room, seemingly the master bedroom upstairs, and Jiang Zhiyan wasn’t there.

Yu Qici felt her voice was a bit hoarse, her waist sore, and her limbs numb, but her body was clean, Jiang Zhiyan must have cleaned her up, but her mind was still a bit hazy, she didn’t know if it was a side effect of being marked, she couldn’t quite control her pheromones.

She moved her head, felt the restraint on her neck, froze for a second, and touched it with her hand. It was a leather collar. She carefully felt around and finally found the control device.

“Awake?”

Yu Qici didn’t know if it was because she touched something or because the collar transmitted data, alerting Jiang Zhiyan to her awakening.

“Mm,” Yu Qici responded, but didn’t move, staring at the ceiling, she didn’t know what time it was, but she wasn’t hungry.

Jiang Zhiyan didn’t speak again. After a while, the door opened. Yu Qici glanced at her, she was wearing home clothes, looking refreshed and energetic. Thinking about her own listless state, Yu Qici looked away.

“Get up and wash up, it’s time to eat,” Jiang Zhiyan said, lifting Yu Qici up. “Are you that weak?”

Yu Qici looked at Jiang Zhiyan expressionlessly, not wanting to answer.

Jiang Zhiyan put a small oral cleaning robot in Yu Qici’s mouth, then washed her face. Seeing that Jiang Zhiyan was about to help her further, Yu Qici quickly widened her eyes in protest, struggled out of her arms, rushed into the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it.

“So you’re not going to work today?” the System asked.

“No,” Jiang Zhiyan said matter-of-factly.

She was now completely slacking off when it came to the Jiang family. She leaned against the wall and browsed her terminal, automatically blocking all messages asking why she wasn’t at work, headquarters probably already knew she wasn’t there.

“The Yu family already knows about Yu Qici’s disappearance,” the System said.

Jiang Zhiyan looked at the time and said with disdain: “They only found out after twenty-four hours? No wonder she was kidnapped in the plot.”

System: …

The Yu family knew about Yu Qici’s disappearance, but the matter was suppressed, no news leaked out.

The top news was still about the Jiang family factory, nothing had happened in the past two days that could overshadow it.

Jiang Zhiyan knocked on the door: “You’re so slow, are you still awake?”

“I wasn’t awake,” Yu Qici said, opening the door and walking out, with water droplets still clinging to her face.

“Let’s go, it’s time to eat,” Jiang Zhiyan stood up, looking at Yu Qici. “Do you need me to carry you downstairs?”

“Thank you, but no need, it’s not that bad.” Despite saying that, Yu Qici still walked very slowly.

“I won’t tie the ropes so tightly next time,” Jiang Zhiyan said.

Yu Qici took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Zhiyan, whose expression was as usual.

“What are we eating?” Yu Qici asked.

“Anything but nutrient solution.”

Yu Qici looked at Jiang Zhiyan again: “Nutrient solutions are very convenient in the lab.”

She didn’t understand what Jiang Zhiyan was implying, nor did she understand why she bothered explaining.

“How long are you planning to keep me locked up?” Yu Qici asked. “They should have discovered my disappearance by now. I can keep your secret, you’ve already marked me, after all. We can say you rescued me, and then we’ll get married.”

Jiang Zhiyan stopped and looked back at Yu Qici: “Why do you think I would hand over the initiative? If you’re bored, I can build a lab for you, and even invite your entire team over.”

“Invite?” Yu Qici chuckled sarcastically. “That’s a very polite way of putting it.”

Yu Qici followed Jiang Zhiyan downstairs. Just as she stepped down the first step, her smile disappeared. Jiang Zhiyan glanced at her and called for a small personal transport vehicle, asking her to sit on it. Yu Qici wanted to be stubborn, but seeing the number of steps, she got on.

She was silent for a while, then finally spoke: “I won’t work for space pirates, especially the Stargazers.”

“The Stargazers are the Stargazers, I am me, why lump me together with them?” Jiang Zhiyan spread her hands. “And I don’t want your research results.”

“Looking down on them?” Yu Qici thought about the incident with the Ruilin Group’s androids being hacked, it was normal that Jiang Zhiyan wouldn’t be impressed, and judging by her words and what those people said, it seemed like only Jiang Zhiyan possessed this technology. “You dare to cooperate with space pirates, aren’t you afraid of getting burned?”

Jiang Zhiyan smoothed Yu Qici’s hair: “Do you think I have any reason to be afraid?”

“With that technology, you could regain your social status even without cooperating with space pirates,” Yu Qici looked at Jiang Zhiyan.

“It would be fun if people were still cursing me a thousand years later, don’t you think?” Jiang Zhiyan said with a smile. “And why should I help those who mocked me? I’m not someone who repays evil with kindness.”

The main reason was that she possessed the technology, not the original owner, who was also very capable, but not to that extent.

The two went to the dining room. Yu Qici sat down, and Jiang Zhiyan sat opposite her.

“What time is it?” Yu Qici asked.

“Past ten, there’s a clock over there, or you can ask the housekeeping robot,” Jiang Zhiyan said, pouring Yu Qici a glass of water. “I wanted to wake you up earlier for breakfast.”

“Are you planning to stay here all day?” Yu Qici continued to ask.

“Are you trying to get rid of me?”

“I’m just asking,” Yu Qici paused, her hand gripping the chopsticks. “Was the factory bombing your doing?”

“Beautiful fireworks, perfect for a birthday celebration, weren’t they beautiful? You were clearly impressed that day.”

Yu Qici glanced at Jiang Zhiyan, not knowing how to answer, so she chose to remain silent, quietly eating her meal. Sitting at the dining table, she started to feel hungry.

Jiang Zhiyan put her terminal aside.

“Her attitude is really strange,” the System said, glancing at the smile on Jiang Zhiyan’s lips and suddenly feeling that this person was even stranger, what were these two doing?

“When are you leaving the imperial star?” Yu Qici asked, feeling that Jiang Zhiyan’s attitude towards skipping work didn’t seem like someone who planned to stay long.

Jiang Zhiyan took a sip of soup: “We’ll talk about it later, haven’t we even tried all those rooms yet?”

Yu Qici: …

“Aren’t there any other recreational activities?” Yu Qici said, exasperated. If they did what they did yesterday every day, she felt like she would be crippled. However, Jiang Zhiyan’s technique was quite good, it wasn’t unpleasant, very comfortable, just tiring. She glanced at Jiang Zhiyan, when did this person practice?

“There’s a game room on the third floor, but don’t even think about contacting the outside world,” Jiang Zhiyan said. “I’ve modified a terminal, you can browse the news, but you can’t contact anyone.”

“Fine.”

Jiang Zhiyan’s terminal vibrated twice. It was her cheap father, after seeing her skip work for a whole morning, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He had thought revoking Jiang Zhiyan’s access would be enough to make her understand the gravity of the situation, but she actually dared to skip work!

“What are you trying to do? Jiang Zhiyan, the Jiang family has already treated you with the utmost benevolence.”

“Such as?” Jiang Zhiyan asked, taking a bite of meat. “Give me an example? I think the value I’ve created for you far exceeds what you’ve given me.”

“Without the Jiang family, you’re nothing!” the Jiang Family Head roared furiously.

“Would you personally call me if I were nothing? Would you be so angry and anxious? Since I’m so useless, then just remove me from my position,” Jiang Zhiyan said with a chuckle. “Without the Jiang family, I’m nothing, then what is the Jiang family without me?”

After saying that, Jiang Zhiyan hung up.

The Jiang Family Head, looking at his terminal, couldn’t believe Jiang Zhiyan dared to hang up on him. After Jiang Zhiyan’s downfall, everyone abandoned her, only he still provided her with a place to stay, so he had been controlling her with this all these years.

He knew this daughter wasn’t submissive, but he didn’t expect her to turn against him so suddenly.

“Go investigate, who has Jiang Zhiyan been in contact with recently.”

“Yes.”

Just as the assistant left, another person rushed in, his expression panicked.

“Mr. Jiang, it’s bad, Miss Jiang Lei and Mr. Jiang Shuo were just found dead in their villa.”

“Who?” Jiang’s father was stunned for a second before remembering who they were. He frowned and looked up. “What did you say? Who is targeting the Jiang family…”

For a moment, he thought of Jiang Zhiyan, but quickly dismissed the idea.

It couldn’t be Jiang Zhiyan, if she had the ability, why wait until now? And turning against him at this time would only confirm her suspicion.

Jiang Zhiyan couldn’t be that stupid, and such a cautious person wouldn’t gamble on not being suspected.

…

Yu Qici had just heard the entire conversation. She looked at Jiang Zhiyan: “You just fell out with him like that?”

“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded.

Yu Qici bit her chopsticks and asked: “Can you still stay on the imperial star?”

“It doesn’t matter where I am, the important thing is, I can finally stay by your side,” Jiang Zhiyan said, her voice light. “Aren’t you happy?”

Yu Qici knew Jiang Zhiyan wanted a positive response, but she didn’t want to give one, and she didn’t directly refuse either. She glanced at her and tugged on the collar around her neck.

“You don’t like it?” Jiang Zhiyan stood up, reached across the table, and gently touched the collar. Yu Qici’s slender neck subconsciously leaned closer. “If you don’t like it, why is your heart racing?”

Yu Qici looked up at Jiang Zhiyan, whose beautiful eyes held a hint of amusement.

Chapter 101: I Want To Do As I Please (3)

“If I say it is, then it is,” Jiang Zhiyan said, looking at Yu Qici on the monitor. The Yu Qici in this world was a bit thin, clearly subsisting on nutrient solutions, not eating proper meals.

“I’ve prepared lunch for you, eat something when you arrive,” Jiang Zhiyan continued.

Yu Qici didn’t speak.

Jiang Zhiyan was about to say something more when she heard a knock on the door. She glanced at Yu Qici again, then turned off the monitor.

She was a bit displeased, leaning back in her chair languidly: “Come in.”

Two people from headquarters entered. Their attitude was casual, although they said they had some matters to discuss with Jiang Zhiyan, they didn’t give her a chance to speak.

“General Manager Jiang, look…”

“Look at what? Did you just say something?” Jiang Zhiyan signed a document. “Say it again, and be more organized, or I don’t want to hear it.”

The other person’s expression stiffened.

“General Manager Jiang,” he said, a hint of displeasure in his voice.

“Something the matter?” Jiang Zhiyan raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

His expression darkened even further, but he had to repeat himself, this time he was smarter, after finishing one point, he waited for Jiang Zhiyan’s nod before continuing to the next.

“So you can speak properly, I thought you couldn’t,” Jiang Zhiyan said, twitching the corner of her mouth. “But I remember issues with the androids have nothing to do with me, why are you asking me to solve them now?”

Jiang Zhiyan put the document aside and looked at the two people in front of her.

The original owner had lost her status, but she was still a pitiful tool, every time headquarters had a problem they couldn’t or didn’t want to solve, they would toss it to her, in the end, she only had hardship, no credit.

It felt like this alone was enough to make someone turn villainous, without needing anything else.

“But…”

“It has nothing to do with me, don’t I have my own work to do? Don’t bring this kind of thing to me again,” Jiang Zhiyan pressed a button on her desk, and the door opened again. “Get out.”

The two exchanged glances: “But this is Chairman Jiang’s order.”

“Can’t do it, impossible, if you have any objections, fire me and find someone else to be the general manager,” Jiang Zhiyan said casually, giving them a cold look.

“Yes.” Hearing Jiang Zhiyan’s words, they finally understood the gravity of the situation and quickly left, their expressions serious.

But they didn’t understand why Jiang Zhiyan was suddenly acting like this, she had always obediently accepted tasks before.

After leaving the company, they immediately reported Jiang Zhiyan’s words verbatim.

“Actually, the original owner helped the Jiang family to secretly control them,” the System reminded her.

“I know, but secretly controlling the Jiang family is useless to me, what would I do with the Jiang family? With you, I can access information from the entire interstellar world, so I prefer…” Jiang Zhiyan gestured with her hand, “Boom! Much more satisfying, and I don’t have to work for free.”

The System felt that what Jiang Zhiyan said wasn’t quite right, but since she praised it, it felt it was perfectly acceptable.

No one contacted Jiang Zhiyan, they just discreetly revoked her access to the family home, hinting at their displeasure.

Since the house was provided by the Jiang family, they still had access to it. The original owner, pretending to be obedient, lived in this house after her downfall, but Jiang Zhiyan didn’t go back, she left work on time and returned to her own estate.

“Host, isn’t it a bit too blatant to be so open about it?”

“There’s nothing wrong with being blatant, I was very wealthy before, it’s normal to have other properties, and she’s been there before,” Jiang Zhiyan said. Her spaceship drifted in the air, weaving through the congested traffic, her piloting skills seemingly professionally trained.

…

Yu Qici leaned against the wicker chair. Jiang Zhiyan hadn’t contacted her since their conversation this morning.

The lunch prepared was all her favorite food. She had rarely told anyone about her preferences, but Jiang Zhiyan knew them all, even some things she hadn’t eaten much, she didn’t know how Jiang Zhiyan knew.

Yu Qici surveyed her surroundings, she had thought Jiang Zhiyan would come see her soon, after all, she had spent a lot of effort to capture her, but unexpectedly, even after waiting for five or six hours, Jiang Zhiyan hadn’t appeared. She rarely had so much free time.

She stood up, planning to explore this building.

The building was large, six floors in total, two underground and four above ground. It wasn’t furnished much, clearly no one lived here normally, judging from this, this building was most likely prepared specifically for her.

The four floors above ground were ordinary, nothing special.

She went down to the first basement level, there was a long corridor with many rooms, the area of the basement seemed much larger than the ground floor. Yu Qici opened a door and froze, narrowing her eyes.

This room had nothing but mirrors, standing at the doorway, she felt like countless versions of herself were looking back at her.

She went to the second room, a beautiful large bed, her intuition telling her that this bed was definitely not as ordinary as it looked.

The third room, the fourth room, the fifth room…

Yu Qici stood at the door of the sixth room, hesitant to open it.

If she hadn’t known what these rooms were for at first, after opening so many, she gradually understood, her expression changing slightly.

She hadn’t encountered these kinds of things before, and she wasn’t particularly interested in them, but standing here, she felt like she had done some of these things before.

Yu Qici’s hand rested on the doorknob of the sixth room, pondering her current state of mind, she liked analyzing herself, because she always felt like she didn’t understand herself.

“Why don’t you come over?”

Yu Qici heard a voice from the end of the corridor and turned to look.

The other person seemed to have just gotten off work, dressed plainly, very different from her past self.

The previous Jiang Zhiyan, standing at the top of the Jiang family, was sharp and assertive, now many people said she was a wilted flower, but judging from what happened today, her sharpness was still there, even stronger than before, she was just hiding it.

“You’re very daring, colluding with space pirates.”

“Just mutual benefit,” Jiang Zhiyan walked over to Yu Qici, her voice light. “When someone suddenly loses everything, it’s normal for them to take risks and do some extreme things.”

Yu Qici was a head shorter than her. She looked up at Jiang Zhiyan: “Then what extreme things are you planning to do… to me?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed in the long corridor, adding a hint of ambiguity.

However, Yu Qici’s eyes were clear, as if it was just a casual question.

The System had already muted them, it felt like it shouldn’t be present for what was about to happen.

Yu Qici’s mind was in turmoil, she didn’t know what she was doing, she looked at Jiang Zhiyan, feeling a deep longing from the depths of her soul.

She even briefly analyzed it, Jiang Zhiyan’s pheromones seemed to have no effect on Omegas, so she shouldn’t be attracted to Jiang Zhiyan because of her instincts, it could only be her own problem.

Jiang Zhiyan pressed Yu Qici’s hand on the doorknob and took a step forward. Yu Qici subconsciously leaned back against the door.

“You really didn’t hint at me?” Jiang Zhiyan’s right hand gently caressed the back of Yu Qici’s neck, and Yu Qici trembled slightly.

This was Xie Liaoyi’s sensitive spot, and after becoming an Omega in this ABO world, it was even more sensitive.

Yu Qici’s cheeks flushed, but she still maintained a semblance of rationality, her left arm bracing against the door, barely supporting her body.

Jiang Zhiyan pressed her hand and pushed open the door. The support behind Yu Qici suddenly disappeared, and she was startled, she could only grab onto the only thing within reach – Jiang Zhiyan’s arm – but she still uncontrollably fell backward. Yu Qici felt like she had fallen into cotton, but the material of the floor was perhaps even softer than cotton, providing no support, she was like a small boat tossed about in a storm.

She struggled to find something to hold onto, but Jiang Zhiyan grabbed her wrists. She knew she must look very disheveled right now.

Jiang Zhiyan looked down and pinched Yu Qici’s arm warningly, reminding her to focus.

Yu Qici steadied herself, looked up, and watched as Jiang Zhiyan approached. She felt like Jiang Zhiyan had done this more than once, but she couldn’t remember.

She didn’t speak, nor did she resist.

Jiang Zhiyan let go, and Yu Qici tried to move her wrists, but found they were still bound by something. She looked up, her wrists were empty, but she clearly felt something soft and warm, like ropes, binding her wrists: “What… what is that?”

“Who knows,” Jiang Zhiyan said, her gaze fixed on Yu Qici’s face, she leaned down and whispered in her ear.

Yu Qici felt a warm, slippery sensation, her body tensing up. Jiang Zhiyan nibbled on her neck with her teeth.

“I heard it hurts a lot without the numbing effect of pheromones,” Jiang Zhiyan whispered. “Does it hurt?”

Yu Qici didn’t speak, she didn’t understand, Jiang Zhiyan had used her pheromones on her before, but they had no effect on her, her heart had remained calm and undisturbed, she had thought Jiang Zhiyan was just spacing out, so she had walked past her, but this time it seemed to be working… she smelled a familiar, comforting scent, her consciousness slowly sinking.

The pain in her neck seemed to become a secret pleasure, she wanted to stretch, but met resistance, the same soft sensation.

Yu Qici, her eyes half-open, saw Jiang Zhiyan, whose gaze was both terrifying and alluring, she heard the sound of her own heartbeat.

She wanted to alleviate this strange feeling, but she was like a pinned butterfly, forced to endure everything, there seemed to be a buzzing in her ears, and listening closely, it sounded familiar, like her own voice.

Chapter 100: I Want To Do As I Please (2)

Yu Qici would return to District 6 the day after the banquet. When she came, she had eight human bodyguards and eight android bodyguards. After what happened, she would probably arrange for even more protection on her way back.

Moreover, Yu Qici traveled in a spaceship she designed herself, equipped with the latest defense systems, anti-detection systems, and an independent anti-interference operating system, capable of three consecutive spatial jumps.

“Honestly, with three consecutive jumps, she can directly jump back to District 6,” the System said.

“She’ll probably stop somewhere in between, but I don’t know which route they’ll take,” Jiang Zhiyan said, looking at the map on the wall.

“I’ve calculated…”

Before the System could finish, the other AI assistant spoke first.

“There are a total of 63,732 routes from the imperial star to District 6. Based on Miss Yu’s past habits, I’ve narrowed it down to 1,336 possible routes.”

Jiang Zhiyan raised an eyebrow: “She takes a different route every time?”

“Mm,” the AI assistant replied.

“Please mark the routes she’s taken before and the routes she hasn’t, thank you.”

“Yes, Master,” the AI assistant replied obediently.

System: …

Jiang Zhiyan looked at the red and blue lines on the map, stared for a while, and pointed: “This one.”

“Huh? Why?” The System didn’t understand; Yu Qici’s choice of route didn’t follow any pattern, it seemed completely random.

“A kind of tacit understanding and intuition,” Jiang Zhiyan said with a smile.

“What if it’s not?” the System continued to ask.

“I’m confident.”

System: …

“I estimate she’ll make spatial jumps at these points. Although it’s called consecutive jumps, there’s still a short interval between exiting and re-entering spatial jump. We’ll kidnap her during this interval,” Jiang Zhiyan circled a few spots on the map.

The System suspected Jiang Zhiyan’s brain was malfunctioning: “This is space, do you know how vast the area you circled is?”

Jiang Zhiyan changed the circles to dots.

“I know you have a tacit understanding with her, but this tacit understanding…”

Jiang Zhiyan didn’t speak: “Let’s formulate a plan.”

The System sighed, just as it was about to say “okay,” the AI assistant spoke first.

It was starting to feel annoyed now, although it knew it wouldn’t be unemployed, this AI was just a temporary assistant in this world, but it was still annoyed.

“I think this kind of plan requires a more advanced AI, like me, to formulate,” the System said.

“You’re responsible for hacking and controlling the androids,” Jiang Zhiyan said. “The core systems of the androids are all at Ruilin Group, one night should be enough for you, if you can control the androids, the risk level of the mission will be greatly reduced.”

Jiang Zhiyan didn’t expect the AI assistant to be able to hack into Ruilin Group. If the System didn’t do it, she would have to do it herself.

“That’s more like it,” the System felt satisfied. “Heh, more than enough, this low-level world…”

“Then just directly hack into the spaceship’s operating system.”

“Mm…” The System paused for two seconds, then stammered, “I’m not omnipotent.”

The AI assistant was very fast, within twenty minutes, it calculated the optimal plan and backup plans, arranged the personnel, and determined the timeframe. Jiang Zhiyan scanned the plan and approved it.

At nine in the morning, Yu Qici departed from the largest port on the imperial star, as the intel suggested, the number of people accompanying her hadn’t increased.

The System had completely hacked into the core systems of the eight androids. This was its first time doing this kind of thing, and it was a bit excited: “Host, I’ve figured out the internal structure of the spaceship.”

“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan closed her eyes and saw Yu Qici through the System’s shared vision.

Yu Qici was sitting on the sofa, looking out the window, staring at the vast universe, seemingly lost in thought. She suddenly smoothed her hair and raised her hand: “Water.”

Jiang Zhiyan took over control of the android, poured a glass of water, bent down, and handed it to Yu Qici, who took it, glanced at her, and then looked away.

After delivering the water, she obediently stood behind Yu Qici, her gaze fixed on her.

Space travel was mostly boring, but for Yu Qici, there seemed to be something interesting outside the window, her gaze mostly fixed on the outside, occasionally looking away for a few seconds.

The System didn’t know what was so interesting to look at, these two hadn’t moved for a long time.

“Is the spaceship ready?” Jiang Zhiyan asked.

“It’s already in position.”

“Then let’s begin,” Jiang Zhiyan said.

The other seven androids started to move. The moment Jiang Zhiyan left, Yu Qici looked back at the android.

Android Number One approached the control room. As soon as the System touched the console, it took over the operating system, blinded the spaceship security center on the imperial star, and sent the coordinates to the pre-arranged spaceship.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

The eight human bodyguards didn’t realize anything was amiss, their indicators showed no abnormalities. They took the water offered by the androids without suspicion and drank it. A few minutes later, they collapsed on the ground.

They had to report to the Yu family at regular intervals, and the System took over this task after they collapsed. It wasn’t their fault, who would have thought androids could be hacked? Ruilin Group had been targeted countless times over the decades, but no one had ever succeeded.

The System felt that it was truly too thoughtful.

Jiang Zhiyan sat in her office, thinking about seeing Yu Qici after work, her mood exceptionally good, a constant smile on her face.

She looked at the top news on her terminal – Jiang Corporation’s District 29 factory looted and destroyed by Stargazer space pirates – and her mood improved even further.

People in the comments section were discussing heatedly, speculating about the reasons for the factory bombing, the factories were all in the same area, why was the Jiang family’s factory specifically targeted? They wondered when the Jiang family had offended the space pirates and lamented their future difficulties. Everyone knew that the Stargazers were the most troublesome space pirates, each of them desperate and vengeful.

“How are things going over there?” Jiang Zhiyan closed the news.

“Yu Qici has been captured and is being transferred to our spaceship,” the System paused. “Can’t you see for yourself?”

“How are her emotions?” Jiang Zhiyan continued to ask.

“Very calm, after realizing there was no escape, she became very cooperative. I checked, she doesn’t have any dangerous items on her, and the chip implanted in her body is under my control,” the System said.

“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded. “Very impressive.”

“Of course, I’m much more capable than a low-level AI.”

…

Yu Qici sat on the sofa, looking at the group of people who rushed in, her lips pursed, looking a bit nervous, but she was actually very calm, the nervousness was just an instinctive reaction of an Omega suddenly encountering so many Alphas.

“So this is the legendary Miss Yu? She is indeed beautiful, no wonder they made such a big fuss,” the leader said sarcastically.

“Alright, stop talking nonsense, you know who she is.”

“Tsk, I wonder why they’re so obedient to her.”

“She can hack into Ruilin Group, can you?”

Yu Qici looked at the Alphas expressionlessly, glanced around, and looked away. Judging by their words, she knew she probably wouldn’t be able to go back, after all, they weren’t even trying to hide it from her.

“Should we put a neck ring on her?”

“She said no need… She’s just an Omega, she shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble, just keep an eye on her, prevent her from running away, once she’s on the other spaceship, our mission is complete, then let’s get out of here quickly, this place is full of patrol ships, hurry up with the transfer.”

One of them reached out to grab Yu Qici, but remembering the instructions he received, he withdrew his hand and extended it again, staring at her menacingly: “Please stand up, Miss Yu.”

Yu Qici stood up and followed them, surrounded by people, but no one touched her, clearly under strict orders.

“Don’t try anything funny,” the person beside her warned again.

Yu Qici didn’t speak, just twitched the corner of her mouth, they looked down on her, but they still had to be wary of her.

After transferring to another spaceship, Yu Qici was taken by four Omegas to change her clothes. Afterward, she was sent to an even smaller spaceship, this time alone, but she knew she was being watched.

The spaceship was controlled by the System. Jiang Zhiyan could now directly see Yu Qici through the surveillance cameras. Yu Qici sat in the pilot seat, looking at the control panel, not even interested in touching it.

Yu Qici looked around, then looked up, her gaze landing precisely on the camera. At that moment, Jiang Zhiyan felt like she was making eye contact with her. Yu Qici stared for three seconds, then looked away.

The spaceship re-entered the imperial star’s airspace. Yu Qici looked at the planet through the window, nervously clenching her fists, the defense system didn’t stop her, and her terminal didn’t receive any notification of her entry, she had successfully “sneaked” into the imperial star.

“Has the imperial star’s defense system become this useless?” Yu Qici said sarcastically. She and her mentor had proposed upgrading the defense and entry detection systems, they had even come up with concrete plans and equipment, but because it was troublesome and involved the interests of multiple parties, their proposals were rejected.

“Not bad, only took five minutes,” Jiang Zhiyan responded.

Yu Qici narrowed her eyes and quickly figured out her identity: “Jiang Zhiyan.”

“You still remember my voice, I’m so happy,” Jiang Zhiyan said, resting her chin on her hand, and laughed. “You saw me that day, right? I sensed your hint.”

“Tsk,” Yu Qici closed her eyes and leaned against the seat. “Hinting at you? I wasn’t aware of that.”

Chapter 99: I Want To Do As I Please (1)

Jiang Zhiyan looked at Yu Qici, her gaze unflinching, but Yu Qici only met her eyes once, no more than a fleeting glance.

“Did she just smile at me?” Jiang Zhiyan asked.

“Host, I think you might be hallucinating,” the System said seriously.

Jiang Zhiyan watched the two leave and closed the window: “Let’s go back, you take control.”

“You just came to take a look?” the System asked.

“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan said, resting her chin on her hand. Although she really wanted to kidnap Yu Qici right then and there, it was clearly not the right time or place. “Let’s go back and watch the Jiang family’s drama unfold, she’ll be there too.”

As Jiang Zhiyan approached the imperial star, she opened her personal terminal, and a flood of messages popped up. Not many were about the company, mostly useless messages, most of them sarcastic and mocking.

The original owner wasn’t very good at socializing when she was at her peak, relying on her intelligence and status, she was arrogant and made many enemies. However, she didn’t have any malicious intentions, and in this class-conscious society, most people of high status acted like her, but those people hadn’t fallen from grace, while she had.

“System, filter the messages for me, and directly block any useless messages in the future,” Jiang Zhiyan said, having scrolled for a long time without finding anything useful, she had seen plenty of insults, many people didn’t even have any real grudge against her, they might have only exchanged a few words, but they still came to kick her while she was down, as if she was a trash can for venting their frustrations.

It had already been five years since her differentiation, no wonder the original owner turned villainous, just glancing at these messages made Jiang Zhiyan want to pull out these people hiding behind their screens and cut off their tongues.

Jiang Zhiyan opened another terminal. There was a long list inside, recording everyone who had insulted her, with timestamps and their current locations, many coordinates changing in real-time, indicating that either these people had something the original owner had planted on them, or there were people working for the original owner near them.

“Is this a death list?” the System commented, scanning the list. “By the end of the plot, 98% of the people on this list are dead.”

“Not bad,” Jiang Zhiyan took a deep breath and rubbed her neck.

The System looked at Jiang Zhiyan’s background data: “Host, I hope you won’t be affected by the plot.”

“I just happen to like the villain persona.”

The spaceship landed in the landing area of the Jiang family’s subsidiary. Jiang Zhiyan disembarked.

“So envious of little sister being so free, able to go out and play during work hours.”

Jiang Zhiyan glanced at the two people who came out of the spaceship next to hers. Information about the two immediately popped up in her mind, Jiang Lei and Jiang Shuo, her half-sister and half-brother, they were twins, they didn’t look very similar, but their personalities were equally unpleasant.

They used to follow her around when she was still in power, and after she fell from grace, they immediately distanced themselves from her and took the lead in bullying her, as if doing so could erase their previous fawning behavior.

“We’ve been waiting for you here for half an hour,” Jiang Shuo said coldly.

“Oh,” Jiang Zhiyan replied indifferently. “Make an appointment next time.”

Jiang Shuo was so angry he laughed: “Jiang Zhiyan, do you still think you’re the Jiang family’s eldest miss? Putting on airs.”

He raised his hand, wanting to strike her, and Jiang Zhiyan raised her leg and kicked him away. He stumbled backward and fell to the ground.

“Didn’t you differentiate as an Alpha? Why are you still so weak?” Jiang Zhiyan elegantly retracted her leg.

Jiang Shuo glared at Jiang Zhiyan.

“Jiang Zhiyan, are you crazy! What’s wrong with you today?”

The System, looking at Jiang Lei berating Jiang Zhiyan, thought that she would probably act like this every day from now on.

“Make an appointment next time,” Jiang Zhiyan said, walking past them, opening her terminal, crossing out their names, and marking a “7” next to them.

Eliminate these two within seven days.

The System silently lit a candle for them.

“Host, isn’t it a bit too obvious to do it now?”

“No, they’re just two useless pieces of trash, once the factory bombing incident happens, who will care about them? The Jiang family has no shortage of trash.”

In this world, Alphas could have multiple partners. For example, the current head of the Jiang family, he was just a B-rank Alpha, and to improve his genes and consolidate the main branch’s position, he had found many A-rank Omegas and fathered a bunch of children. However, all his children were B-rank, not a single A-rank among them, while the side branches had produced two A-ranks.

Jiang Zhiyan returned to her office. The assistant brought the prepared gifts for her to see.

“Just send them,” she said. After all, she wouldn’t be in the mood to look at gifts later.

Jiang Zhiyan leaned against the sofa, browsing the news on her terminal. The top headline was “Wedding bells soon, Yu Qici and Lian Chen on a date.” She sneered and reported it as false news, complete nonsense.

System: …

“It’s not entirely false, although Lian Chen isn’t the male lead, she is indeed engaged to the Lian family,” the System whispered, then regretted it, why was it adding fuel to the fire? Jiang Zhiyan had read the script herself.

Jiang Zhiyan didn’t want to talk to it.

Yu Qici returned on the day of the Jiang family banquet. The two families hadn’t been on good terms since the engagement was broken off, but they still had to maintain appearances, after all, two powerful families couldn’t really sever ties just because of a broken engagement.

When Jiang Zhiyan arrived, Yu Qici also happened to arrive, her companion today was Lian Chen.

The three met at the entrance, and Jiang Zhiyan slowed down. The surrounding people looked at them, their gazes filled with amusement, their conversations becoming quieter. Lian Chen stood in front of Yu Qici, and Jiang Zhiyan glanced at his face.

Lian Chen looked at Jiang Zhiyan expressionlessly, his eyes wary.

Jiang Zhiyan chuckled softly and walked past them, seemingly calm and indifferent, only the System knew that someone had just been added to the death list.

Jiang Zhiyan gave her gift, didn’t greet the previous family head, found a random spot, and waited for the drama to unfold.

Many people gathered around Yu Qici, making it impossible to even see her from the gaps in the crowd, while the area around Jiang Zhiyan was a vacuum, as if she had a contagious disease.

“A swan should be with a swan, you’re just a toad,” Jiang Lei said softly, standing behind her.

“Aren’t you the same?” Jiang Zhiyan raised an eyebrow and retorted.

Jiang Lei’s expression froze, Jiang Zhiyan was right, she was also the same, because the Yu family hadn’t taken a liking to her either. Her expression twisted for a moment, she looked at Yu Qici not far away with cold eyes, and clenched her fists.

Jiang Zhiyan ordered a glass of red wine. The guests were gradually arriving, everyone seemingly harmonious on the surface, but there were undercurrents surging beneath. The two A-rank Alphas from the side branches were clearly much more popular than the members of the main branch. She saw several people trying to join the conversation around Yu Qici and being ignored, their eyes turning cold, as if they were about to lash out.

She tapped her wine glass lightly and started counting down in her heart.

Suddenly, the entire hall went dark, screams echoing, but it quickly quieted down, everyone maintaining their aristocratic composure.

The projection system automatically activated, showing the Jiang family’s factory in District 29.

“What’s going on? Is there a malfunction?”

“Where is this?”

“It seems to be the Jiang family’s factory, isn’t that what it says?”

“Damn, what are they doing over there?”

“Space pirates! Stargazers!”

Mechs bearing the Stargazer insignia appeared in the projection, starting to bombard the factory. No one tried to stop them, and in just two minutes, they breached the factory’s defenses, the factory instantly turning into a sea of fire.

The Jiang family members’ expressions turned grim. The former family head, who was celebrating his birthday, clutched his chest, gasping for air. The finished mechs inside the factory were being loaded onto the Stargazer’s spaceship right before their eyes.

After all this, a masked person walked in front of the camera and held up a single finger.

“What does that mean?”

“Too arrogant! They’re getting more and more arrogant! How could space pirates infiltrate District 29?”

“Where are the guards? They just let them in?” The current Jiang Family Head was furious.

The scene was in an uproar, District 29 was a semi-developed area, many powerful families had factories there, and now with the Jiang family’s factory being bombed, everyone felt threatened.

The old family head finally fainted, and the birthday banquet was forced to end, with such an incident, no one was in the mood to stay.

Jiang Zhiyan finished her wine in one gulp, placed the glass on the table beside her, and looked towards Yu Qici, whose gaze was unfocused, seemingly lost in thought. Lian Chen next to her was talking to her, but she clearly wasn’t listening.

The Jiang Family Head was arranging for people to go to District 29 to investigate. This kind of thing wouldn’t be her responsibility. He quickly chose two people, one of the A-rank Alphas from the side branches and someone from the main branch. Those who weren’t chosen felt both relieved and disappointed.

“Sigh, what a pity, if you weren’t defective, you would definitely be in charge of this,” a few of the rejected candidates walked past Jiang Zhiyan, mocking her solitary figure.

“It wouldn’t fall on you anyway, it’s good to be self-aware,” Jiang Zhiyan stood up, glancing at their twisted expressions.

Yu Qici left, and Jiang Zhiyan walked past them, but when she chased outside, Yu Qici was already gone.

“Check when she’ll return to District 6,” Jiang Zhiyan said.

“This world also has AIs, you don’t have to ask me for everything,” the System sighed. “Although I know, Host, you can’t live without me, after all, I’m such an excellent auxiliary AI.”

“Just afraid you’ll be unemployed,” Jiang Zhiyan said, touching the bone behind her left ear, where the original owner’s self-made auxiliary AI was implanted. She hadn’t used it since arriving, and upon activating it, she heard Yu Qici’s voice.

“Master, it’s been a while since you contacted me, do you have any instructions?”

Both Jiang Zhiyan and the System were silent for a second.

“The original owner is truly a pervert,” the System commented.

Jiang Zhiyan, feeling very annoyed, changed the voice to the default mechanical voice, but she was still annoyed. She couldn’t pull the original owner out and beat her up, so she could only comfort herself that the plot had only officially started after she arrived.

“Check when Yu Qici will return to District 6, arrange for people to intercept her spaceship, and send her to the ‘safe house’.”

“Master, the risk level of this operation is S-rank.”

“It’s fine,” Jiang Zhiyan said. If she waited any longer, she was afraid she would do something SSS-rank.
