Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 27) Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 27) Gu Shengyin went to the prison to see Qi Lin.
This time she wasn’t in the Military Department’s prison, but in a place specially designed by the Imperial Family to detain important prisoners, where once someone enters, they truly should not think of leaving.
Generally, those who entered here were those without any future to speak of, so one can imagine that the guards wouldn’t put much effort into them.
At least when Gu Shengyin came in, Qi Lin looked quite miserable.
Her light purple dress was covered in dark stains, which included her own blood and the dust she had picked up from the ground.
Upon hearing footsteps, it took a while for Qi Lin to come out of her dazed state, staring blankly at Gu Shengyin for a long time before she recognized who she was.
Once she realized who the visitor was, a bit of color finally returned to Qi Lin’s eyes. She used all the remaining strength in her body to pounce toward Gu Shengyin through the transparent metal door made of special material: “General, General…”
Gu Shengyin signaled the people following her to unlock the door, which they hesitated to do. Gu Shengyin said indifferently, “Don’t worry, if a woman in this state manages to escape here, then I, Situ Jin, have lived these past decades in vain.”
The system had already checked that Qi Lin had nothing on her that could pose a threat, and the Imperial dark prison was heavily guarded outside, so Qi Lin would find it difficult to escape even with wings.
The guard laughed a bit, “It’s not that I’m afraid this woman will escape, but rather that she is cunning and might accidentally harm the Admiral.”
As he spoke, he unlocked the door and then stepped out resolutely, taking up a position not far from the only exit.
Qi Lin kept her eyes eagerly on the door and, seeing it open, lunged towards Gu Shengyin.
How could Gu Shengyin let her succeed? With a slight movement of her feet, Qi Lin missed and fell to the ground.
Qi Lin let out a bitter laugh and said little else, not even having the strength to get up again. She just lay there on the ground, pleading with Gu Shengyin: “General, General, please save me, save me…”
Gu Shengyin looked at her steadily, speaking slowly, “You know best what you’ve done, Qi Lin. For someone like you, dying a thousand times wouldn’t be enough.”
Qi Lin cried bitterly, “I really regret it, please save me, or speak to them, let me die, let me die swiftly…”
Gu Shengyin was somewhat surprised; the Imperial dark prison was known to her only by the various cruel tortures it was rumored to have, said to make life worse than death. She had thought that was an exaggeration, but seeing Qi Lin , she didn’t expect it to be true.
Qi Lin had, after all, followed Situ Jin for many years, and Gu Shengyin was aware of her character. If she hadn’t been truly tortured to a certain extent, she would never have become .
The most tragic part was, as she said, she couldn’t even manage to die.
Even if she bit her tongue right now, the device monitoring her vital signs 24/7 would immediately set off an alarm, and with today’s medical conditions, just a spray would be enough to fix it, not to mention other methods.
Gu Shengyin actually came here to resolve a doubt.
“Qi Lin, there are some things I don’t understand,” she said directly.
Qi Lin didn’t even lift her head.
“If you can clear up my confusion, I can propose to His Majesty to let you die swiftly,” said Gu Shengyin.
This time Qi Lin reacted: “Ask then, as long as I can answer.”
“You were saved by the Second Prince and then betrayed the Star Eagle, leading us into an ambush; I can understand, perhaps you bore a grudge.”
“But what I don’t understand is, your father has long passed away, and it was your mother who raised you. You also grew up in the Empire, so what made you willing to become a pawn of the Federation, planted within the Empire?”
