Military meetings are a daily occurrence in the military and would take place almost every day. It is estimated that Morris and the others had heard something and knew that today's meeting will discuss some matters that they are very concerned about.
After thinking for a moment, Chi Zhao had an idea.
Breakfast was made by the robot butler and the taste was quite satisfactory. Chi Zhao sat quietly in the chair, drinking his congee spoonful by spoonful. Louis didn't like to talk much when he ate, and he also ate very fast. Within just a few minutes, he was already done.
Completing tasks quickly and accurately was a soldier's trait. After all, they never knew when an emergency will arise. After eating, Louis didn't leave and remained sitting in his seat. With his eyes lowered, he read news reports on the Star Network and would from time to time look up at Chi Zhao and hand him a glass of water or napkin.
Breakfast was incomparably harmonious. Louis would quietly take care of Chi Zhao without being too enthusiastic or cold. In short, it was just right. It didn't make Chi Zhao feel uncomfortable.
Chi Zhao wiped his mouth and then looked obediently up at Louis, "When will you be home today?"
When there is no war, Louis's schedule was much like an office worker and he would turn up to the military at a set time. He answered gently, "Five o'clock. I remember you finish class at two. I'll get someone to pick you up?"
Chi Zhao shook his head, "No need. I will go to the military headquarter to find you and then we can go home together."
Louis didn't answer for a while. Chi Zhao made an unhappy expression and continued, "Why, I can't go to the military? You think I'm too shameful for others to see?"
Louis: "....."
He couldn't help laughing, "I didn't mean that but…The military environment is very stern and boring. There is nothing fun there. If you go, you will definitely find it very boring."
The military headquarter was located in a building with a yard. Unlike the Mission Port which holds many classified weapons and military equipment, the security there wasn't as strict so if the admiral's wife wanted to go, no one would stop him.
Chi Zhao said nonchalantly, "When I was young, I often went to the military headquarter to find my grandfather. I am no less familiar with it than you. Besides, I'm not a child. I'm not going there to play."
Hearing that their lover wants to go to their workplace to wait until they get off, anyone would be moved by it. Louis was no exception. This time, he didn't stop him and just nodded acceptingly, "Okay, I'll let the guards know to take you to my office when you arrive."
Hearing this, Chi Zhao revealed a satisfied smile.
Including this world, this was Chi Zhao's third time attending college. The first two times, Chi Zhao could still endure through somewhat but this time he had grown tired of studying and wasn't in the mood to listen to the lectures. During class he would either sleep or play some games, almost the same as the original owner's previous behaviours.

As soon as it was two o'clock, Chi Zhao immediately left the classroom. He ran into Zheng Qingwu again in the corridor. The two stood facing each other and nodded in greeting. Chi Zhao didn't pay much attention to this passer-by and the only thing on his mind was to hurry over to the military headquarter.
Morris had said that Louis will definitely have a copy of the minutes from the meeting. It wasn't a very important document so Louis wouldn't have hidden it away. As long as Chi Zhao takes a peek while no one is watching and then puts it back, no one would suspect anything.
Chi Zhao deeply believed that no one thought that Shao Ze'an was a spy because he had no reason to betray the Empire.
The guard at the gate was already informed that the admirals newlywed wife would be coming so when he arrived at the military headquarter, the guard carefully checked his identity and then led him over to Louis's office.
Louis was wearing his usual black military uniform. When he saw him coming in, he immediately got up from his seat. The guard who had brought him over considerately closed the door behind him.
This wasn't Chi Zhao's first-time seeing Louis in a military uniform, but this was his first time seeing him wearing it in a military setting like this. When his gaze fell onto the badges on Louis's collar, Chi Zhao suddenly felt that Louis was born to be an admiral.
Louis really enjoyed being on the receiving end of the young man's focused gaze. He walked up to Chi Zhao and gently fiddled with the loose strands of hair in front of his forehead, "How was school today?"
Chi Zhao blinked a few times and answered honestly, "Slacking away as usual."
Louis was amused by this answer. His laugh was like a cello, deep and pleasing to hear, "The things you learn there are useless. Next time I'll bring you some textbooks that will suit you more."
Chi Zhao didn't accept his kind offer, "No, I won't want to study."
What Louis wanted to give him was most likely books related to spiritual powers. He didn't want to read it, let alone learn it. Firstly, he didn't want to study at all right now and secondly, he didn't want to take the risk of being discovered.
There were still three hours before Louis could get off work and he couldn't spend it leisurely. Very soon, his aide came in and called him away. Using this chance, Chi Zhao first let the system scan the entire office to find the meeting minutes and then hurried over to skim through the contents while the system kept an eye out for him. When Louis as about to return, the system was about to warn Chi Zhao only to see that Chi Zhao had already put the meeting minutes back and restored everything to its usual appearance before rushing over to his seat. When Louis pushed open the door, the scene he saw was of Chi Zhao calmly drinking his tea.
System: "...….."
With the bonus golden finger in this world, its usefulness was greatly diminished.
After the task was completed, Chi Zhao had nothing else to do. When he saw the meeting minutes earlier, he understood what Morris wanted to know. There were eight things discussed during todays meeting and only one of it was related to Morris and them. The imperial garrison near the Death Galaxy was going to send out troops to attack a group of space pirates in two days and the main force behind these pirates were the rebels. The Empire wanted to follow the trails to take down a few of the rebel strongholds.
But after this information was known by Morris and them, they could lie in ambush ahead of time and use it to their advantage to attack the Empire's troops head on or, if they wanted to take it further, they could even take advantage of the momentary weakness in the garrison and go launch a surprise attack on the base directly.
Information is very important on a battlefield. Just a few lines can change the flow of the battle and determine the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Morris urged him to quickly report the information, so Chi Zhao used the excuse to visit the bathroom and told him what he saw word for word.
The system didn't understand. Didn't he say that he would manipulate the information a little? But he just told them everything?
Hearing the systems query, Chi Zhao said wisely, "Young man, how can you be so useless? You should use your brain a little, you know?"
System: "...." It doesn't have a brain. That is the sad reality.
Time flew by and it was soon five o'clock in the afternoon. Louis got off work on time. When he left the office, his aide followed behind them carrying a pile of documents that needed to be archived.
The minutes of todays meeting was in that pile.
As it was time for everyone to get off work, there were many people walking out. When they saw Louis, they would stop and salute him. Chi Zhao who walked next to him experienced firsthand what it was like to have powerful connections.
Where there are people, there will be gossip. News of Louis's marriage spread through the military in just one night. After they saluted Louis, they would look at Chi Zhao curiously and then nod slightly to him as a gesture of goodwill.
The archiving room was in another building so the aide was just going to send Louis out first before going over to archive the documents. There was a rule here; no vehicles were to be used and they can only go on foot.
The three of them approached the elevator together. When the elevator door opened, Louis and Chi Zhao entered first while the aide stood behind them. At this moment, the aide suddenly felt a little sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes and walked over to the window to breath in some fresh air. He naturally stretched his arms out and rotated his tired wrists with the documents still in his hands but after rotating it around a few times, the aide suddenly stopped moving and loosened his grip——-
And all the documents were thrown out by the aide. As expected of the admiral's aide, his arm strength was amazing. Chi Zhao watched as the documents turn into a black spot in the distance and then slowly draw a downwards arc.
Louis: "...…"
The rest of the people who witnessed this: "....."
Aide: "...=口=!"
After silently watching the documents disappear, Louis slowly turned his gaze over to stare at his aide's face. The latter trembled in fear, "I-I accidentally....."
"Hurry up and go find it!"

The aide hurriedly took along a few soldiers to look for the documents. The people standing around were completely at loss. If he could become the admiral's aide, his IQ would definitely be higher than an average person. How could he do such a stupid thing?
Louis clearly also thought this. He walked out of the elevator with a frown and a few seconds later, he suddenly turned and directed his sharp and suspicious eyes at Chi Zhao who received his look and just blinked innocently.
If one invaded another person's spiritual domain, it was equivalent to temporarily controlling the other person's thoughts. If there is little difference in spiritual powers, the things you could do are limited but if there is a big difference, you could completely control the other person's body without the other person noticing. Complete manipulation wasn't a problem in those situations.
The aide was AA so if someone were to control him, they must be S.
But how could Shao Ze'an do such things? Although he can be wilful at times, he was not someone who would play around like this.
Chi Zhao's eyes were pure and clear as if this matter really had nothing to do with him but in fact, he was extremely nervous inside.
Please don't be so sensitive. He had only briefly manipulated the aide for 0.1 second to suggest that he should walk to the window but just this 0.1 second arouse Louis's suspicions.
Louis flattened his lips, "You go home first. I'll go back later."
With this incident happening, Louis naturally couldn't leave. Chi Zhao nodded, "Come back early. I'll wait for you to eat together."
Louis smiled. Chi Zhao pressed the close button beside him and soon the elevator door closed.
As soon as the door closed, Louis's expression changed. He turned around and went another direction whilst deep in thought.
Behind them, among the crowd of onlookers nearby, Shao Zelin couldn't help but frown as he held the military notice he had just received.
Why did Louis look at his brother just now?
It was his aide who had acted strangely yet why did Louis subconsciously look at his brother?
