Chapter 438: New discovery
The sight of two Echo team operators mounted on the Duskha heavy machine gun to use enemies' weapons as theirs was watched by many through the drones in Yang Qingyue's control room.
With cold efficiency, they aimed their powerful weapons at the fleeing vehicles and gang members who were trying to hit their comrades. Their fingers tightened on the triggers.
The barrels of the Dushka shook, emitting a menacing quick repetitive toom-toom that seemed to drown out even the chaos of battle.
The rounds tore through the metal bodies of the trucks like paper, ripping apart everything in their path with brutal force. Flesh and bone were shredded as easily as the thin metal of the vehicles, sending a spray of blood and gore into the air.
Limbs were torn from bodies, heads exploded into a grotesque mess of brain matter and bone fragments, and screams of agony pierced the air before being abruptly cut off by the relentless onslaught of bullets.
The scene was a nightmarish tableau of carnage and destruction, a testament to the sheer brutality of modern warfare. And as the last echoes of gunfire faded away, all that remained was the haunting silence of death, broken only by the crackling of flames and the moans of the wounded.
Blaargh.
Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning looked at the source of the sound and discovered an officer retching. Apparently, the gore scenes everyone witnessed brought psychological trauma.
Perhaps, the energy spread, and more and more people felt the same feeling, wanting to vomit but nothing came out.
This was the first time, they witnessed a horrifying sight. As police, they had dealt with murders and corpses but the scene of bodies ripped apart and exploded into pieces, would never ever be forgotten.
Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning frowned but the two didn't say much. They couldn't demand too much on their psychological tolerance.
In fact, both of them were a bit uncomfortable too. The cruelty and massacre before their eyes stayed completely out of sight from the police's affairs.
Yang Qingyue patted her proud chest gently, fortunately, Spirit Fox handled these cases more than her police force. Otherwise, she couldn't bear to imagine the worst fate her subordinates might face if she continued her plan to seek justice without Ling Qingyu's aid.
She couldn't help but be glad at her foresight and the choice to cooperate with Ling Qingyu though it seemed like she was seeking a tiger's skin.
However, from daily interaction with Ling Qingyu, Yang Qingyue understood her deeply inside and out, both physically and mentally.
She also knew those vulnerable spots. It was as if Ling Qingyu's entirety was imprinted on her mind Even if she couldn't achieve the victory she was able to force Ling Qingyu to beg for it.… Ahem…The more she thought of Ling Qingyu, the more her thirst raged. The memory that a beautiful and most splendid figure delivered. Enjoy new adventures from empire
The firefight continued until three helos provided support and annihilated all the gang members. Tiger gang was now extinct. As always, reinforcement arrived late.
Five minutes later, sirens yelped across the forest and the most awaited convoy of Aegis vehicles rolled in and parked. Tang Ziyi announced on the radio to close the net. The operation was over. All that remained was to transfer the evidence and authority to the police units, Yang Qingyue would send over.
Receiving Tang Ziyi's outstanding report, Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning nodded silently and put to work. Today would become one of their busiest days. A successful complete flip of the bowl where justice reigned.
Tang Ziyi, Xiao Yue, Jiang Yu, and Su Ruomei returned to the dungeon, leaving their deputies behind to arrange the final jobs. As leaders, what was the use of subordinates if they had to do everything?
"Sister! Elder Sister!" A woman with a chestnut hairline darted out of the crowds of girls and sprinted toward Su Ruomei.
Tang Ziyi, Xiao Yue, and Jiang Yu were puzzled. Who was the woman calling as Elder Sister? Su Ruomei recognized the victim, whom she comforted personally.
Her brows furrowed as she wondered how did this foreign woman differentiate her from the crowd. Obviously, everyone worn the same, equipped the same, heck the guns were similar.
"How do you know it's me?" Su Ruomei blurted out as the woman managed to get close and hugged her, not realizing her junior sister had darkened eyes.
"Of course, I have a good memory. The style you wore and the manner you walk, I remember clearly." The foreign woman answered.
Well, Su Ruomei looked around and accepted the woman's explanation. At the same time, she praised the chestnut woman's advantages inwardly—Photographic memory.
Nonetheless, her expression dampened as she realized the horrifying facts of able to recall the nightmare to the smallest detail.
Thinking of the poor woman's suffering, Su Ruomei's heart melted and she patted the back of her figure.
"Ahem," coughed Jiang Yu.
Su Ruomei staggered and smiled at her junior sister with guilt. She had no idea why she felt this way but she immediately distanced herself and the woman, comforting her that she had other important business to deal with.
She didn't forget to whisper her finding about the woman's possible emotional distress and the reason why she was being regarded as a spiritual subsistence. Jiang Yu snorted and accepted the reason.
Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue shrugged at each other and ignored the possible love-triangle. Both walked to the location where important tangoes were apprehended. Boss Hu and his wife, along with a few aides.
Tang Ziyi ordered Boss Hu to be dragged away for interrogation because she also wanted to know the identity of the man being tortured personally. The other close members stood up to protest but were quelled by Spirit Fox's fierceness. This Jackpot was soon to be transferred to police's hand but Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue still wanted to investigate.
'Interrogation' initially met difficulties but under Tang Ziyi's threat and handiworks, Boss Hu relented and explained everything.
Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue exclaimed in surprise as they received unexpected gift, from a gangster. According to Boss Hu, this man was the culprit who forged enmities between Ling Qingyu and him.
With the man's persuasiveness and lavish gifting, Boss Hu's son agreed to help assassinate Ling Qingyu, which meant the man knew the identity of the big man above. So, Boss Hu hated the bastard who was the reason for his family's destruction.
Both Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue were non-committal about the man's role because Ling Qingyu and the gangs would fight sooner or later with collisions in morals, ideas, and interest.
However, it was a good news to obtain new leads about Ling Qingyu's previous assassination. Their investigation was lost in directions without any ideas of the true motives of the dark hands.
Even though Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue didn't hope much, they would perhaps gain some more infos to supplement their progress. The two smiled at each other, preparing to pry the other's mouth.
Before they left, Boss Hu even threatened to come back and still wasn't dismayed or affected. He might still have the belief that he could get out soon once attention went elsewhere. Both scoffed at Boss Hu's pitiful expectation.
