Chapter 317: I'm all ears
The kidnappers were dragged out of the van and thrown to the ground, hands behind their backs and locked in plastic cuffs. One by one, they were tossed into Su Ruomei's vehicle.
Some guards who had nothing to do look around, while others checked the kidnappers to find any valuable information.
Jiang Yu heard hasty footsteps and looked toward the sound. Two middle-aged, man and woman, scurrying toward them. She raised her hand to stop the two and paused when a girl cried out in joy. "Uncle! Aunt!" Read new chapters at empire
The little girl raced to embrace her beloved. Jiang Yu's lips curled up in satisfaction. She found her current workload gratifying. The rest of the guards who watched the heartwarming scene felt the same.
"Thank you very much! We owe you our baby's life." The uncle released his embrace and bowed.
"Thank you. Thank you." The woman repeated her gratitude.
Soon, applause rang and the guards glanced at the surrounding cheerful crowd. They even saw some exclaimed supports from the windows in the apartment.
Perhaps, the people might be stunned when the operation unfolded. The speed was too fast for their minds to register. Afterward, when they saw the white label of 'SPECIAL POLICE' and the uniforms, everybody cheered.
Finally, there was someone to take care of the ruthless gang. Looking at the helpless men, thrown mercilessly to the ground and punished, the crowd saw the gangs weren't really powerful. They were humans after all.
Amidst the whistles and clapping, wails of sirens entered the scene. When all eyes shifted toward the incoming police motorbike, the poor officer braked hurriedly, almost slipping off.
Holy shit! He was trying to pursue the special operation team! The officer thought and blessed himself. Fortunately, he didn't attempt hard.
The uniform style and gear of Su Ruomei's and Jiang Yu's group scared the shit out of him. He remembered a rumor in the police circle when colleagues from somewhere once did a checkpoint on the special team. Their cars were rammed and destroyed by armored trucks.
Imagining a scene where his poor motorcycles collided with the vans, the officer shuddered.
Ling Qingyu's guards were too recognizable. Their outfits instantly displayed their identities. The infamous special operators, who mowed down the gang uprising like weeds.
In fact, the style wasn't too different from ordinary SWAT but who made the girls' gear, had a heavy-like feeling and ballistic visors on the helmet—the only signature.
Okay, now what should he do? Walk away or…The officer really desired that his flashy blue and red lights weren't noticeable, wanting to escape from the scenes.
"Hey! Come here, Mr. Officer." Jiang Yu called in.
Helpless, the biker sighed and walked forward. Although he was surprised by a female voice, he didn't think too much.
"Ma'am, is there anything you need?" The officer asked.
"Thank you for coming," Jiang Yu didn't point out the officer's original goal and embarrass him. "Please, help us block the streets and direct the traffic. We might be spending some time before the scene clears."
If the crowd heard he was trying to prevent a rescue situation, he would face angry mobs and suffer.
"Yess," The officer nodded in joy and went to work.
Su Ruomei dealt with the arrested men, ordering her girls to cover their heads with black hoods. The blind men were dragged away and bundled into her van, where interrogation would start.
Soon, the van rocked and could clearly be seen from outside. The onlookers twitched their eyelids, including Su Ruomei who just ordered her subordinates for interrogation.
Crap, she didn't mean to use violence, Su Ruomei hasted her step and entered the passenger seat to look inside. Behold her sight, she sighed in relief.
There was no violence, just a couple of dudes forced to lie on the carpets, like several arch bridges. Forehead against the surface, toes to provide support, lifting the bodies up.
She probably understood why the car shook. The guys were reluctant and resisted. Her girls shoved these guys to a better understanding—you aren't dealing with a simple police force.
Since she had reminded everyone, the girls likely used some kind of pain to end the struggles. Acupuncture pressure point, which Tang Ziyi taught a lot in the past days. Thinking of the experience, Su Ruomei's face turned grim and paid these poor bastards homage. Tribute to the victim. She was certain they would be recruited in a while.
In fact, the apprehended ruffians were complaining, about why were the women more vicious and fierce. They thought they could show some strength and escape, encountering female police units.
Where was the supposed kindness and femininity? They were far more cruel and ruthless. Have you seen a woman threw away a bigger man without sweating? Lifting him and dragging away? Bundling him like a piece of bread?
Not to mention, these female officers displayed more violent means, snapping them with pistols and tossing them around. Shouldn't police treat suspects generously?
If Su Ruomei heard their inner voices, she would shrug helplessly. Who made Tang Ziyi, their instructor? Her energetic training transformed and strengthened everyone. As for the so-called woman's kindness, HEHE! Su Ruomei expressed silently.
Before she exited the vehicle, Athena's voice resounded again on everyone's radio. "1-1, 1-2. Be advised, there are some suspects leaving the scene. Arrest them and take them away too. They are the trackers, trailing the poor girl."
"Roger."
"Wilco." Su Ruomei exchanged secret glances with everyone. The criminals were nearby and they mustn't startle the snakes before they were ready.
Athena directed everyone, with a description and direction. Instantly, the guards separated into small teams, while the remaining stood around, securing the perimeter.
Su Ruomei walked to Jiang Yu and hugged her friend. When the heightened stress diminished, the two were in peace. Despite only taking a dozen seconds to rescue the girl, both felt like hours. The two's rapport dissipated hearing several outcries.
"Don't move."
"Stay right where you are!"
"You're risking being shot if you run!"
Their eyes noticed the guards chasing fleeing figures. Both raised their brows and reminded their subordinates to pay attention to safety and caution but Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu weren't too worried.
Among the people around, very few had time and ideas to record the scenes. Most were keen on the present. However, there was someone, who had been live broadcasting for a long time and encountered the rescue operation. The entire scene was recorded and viewed by many online. Soon, the videos would spread.
Of course, Athena already knew about the situation and merely blurred some important features, such as license plates.

"What! You're only telling me when this happens?" Yang Qingyue roared into her phone, drawing looks from the coworkers and subordinates.
Cai Ning slapped her forehead, gritting: Image. Image. Please, you're a police chief now!
On the other line, Ling Qingyu put away the phone at arm's length after speaking. She knew Yang Qingyue's reaction would exactly be such.
Until the roar calmed down, Ling Qingyu spoke. This time, she turned on the speaker, not daring to risk her ears from suffering minor damage. "I only have a moment now before arranging. You know the event unfolded within an hour or even less. Who knows?"
"I suspect, you enjoy the thrill of informing me after a fact." Yang Qingyue chided.
"Alright, guilty as charged, Sister Yang. I promise you my words and I'll do so." Ling Qingyu replied, referring to an agreement to not break laws and cut the red tape.
"It better be."
"Furthermore, it's more like an act of self-defense," Ling Qingyu excused her actions. "That bastard didn't eye me and instead reached his filthy hands on the innocence. You know it's war, unrestricted. If not for the sake of your face, we might have many missing people on the list, not that anyone cares."
"…" Yang Qingyue remained silent and entered a closed room. "I know. I didn't want to hear or see self-rhetoric self-defense again. Do we make this clear?"
"Crystal, darling.... And this might be the opportunity to kick one dog out of the throne forever. The question is are you up for it?" Ling Qingyu humored.
"I'm all ears." Yang Qingyue's breathing shortened as her heart sped up. She even heard her own blood pumping. "It's been so long these gangs enjoy people's suffering and deserve retribution."
"Eh…There's no karma. There will be only one who'll carry out. That's human being. That's what happens in the past. That's what's happening now and what will happen next. Only humans can save themselves."
