Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Gu Yi, Assistant Su, and Su Ruomei returned to Ling Qingyu's residence and entered the command room of Spirit Fox's 'headquarters.'

Half an hour had passed since the Sinner teams' departure. The trio, along with a few other Spirit Fox operators temporarily serving to fit the needs, watched the ongoing operation from a satellite feed and helmet cams.

There was also a screen displaying the trafficking process, where the two parties met and finished their deals.

Sure enough, as Athena estimated, the deal was completed successfully before the Sinner teams arrived.

The three helicopters separated. Azi piloted Sinner One and led Sinner Two. Sinner Three flew in the opposite direction in order to catch the gang before they completely disappeared.

Athena relayed the information on time, and everyone acted promptly. Gu Yi and Assistant Su praised the flawless cooperation and action implementation.

Su Ruomei and the others acted nonchalant. This wasn't the first time they had reacted to Athena's suggestion and advice.

However, this was indeed the first time Athena commanded the operation directly. Su Ruomei sighed at Athena's ability as an overseer.

Perhaps Athena's influence wasn't obvious among Spirit Fox sisters, but her presence wasn't small either. Her every subtle help and suggestion had conquered the entire Spirit Fox, even if they hadn't met the legendary behind-the-scenes helper.

This was the reason why the three Sinner teams didn't object to Athena's takeover—not even the slightest unhappiness, particularly from Su Ruomei, who was supposed to serve as a commander.

In fact, this girl had the big heart to let go and wanted to be lazy. She had never enjoyed true happiness except within Spirit Fox, which she co-founded with Ling Qingyu.

Spirit Fox wasn't wrong to be regarded as her true home. Here she tasted true camaraderie and sisterhood.

The Big Su family was nothing more than trickery, deception, and infighting. Though the outer appearance seemed daunting and received envy from outsiders, only the insiders understood the coldness between close-tied blood.

Witnessing Athena's capable command, Su Ruomei relaxed her mood and decided to be a complete observer.

Of course, another reason could be attributed to the fact that Athena asked for a favor. Su Ruomei agreed, completely oblivious to the fact that Athena wasn't human.

…

"0-1, spotted the target vehicle. Requesting permission to intercept." Azi gazed intently at two single rushing vehicles, lonesome on the road and devoid of other eyes, while steadily flying the helicopter.

"0-2, standing by."

0-1 was the code to differentiate between helicopter units. 1 belonged to Azi, and the other to her friends.

"Permission granted. Intercept the vehicles. Sinner One and Two, act fast. Snatch and grab."

"Copied that." Azi pressed down the joystick and tilted her helicopter to a nearly 90-degree dive. 0-2 followed suit.

The two aircraft descended rapidly before returning to the normal curvature, just above the terrain masking height, 10 meters from the ground.

The potential energy transformed into kinetic as the two helicopters sped toward the targets.

0-1 turned and slowed down in the process while retaining momentum, brushing its existence suddenly and landing in front of the two vehicles.

Sinner One dismounted quickly and formed three formations—a line aiming downrange and two columns to surround the two vehicles. Their steps were light yet methodical.

0-2 flew overhead and circled around, ready to support. The appearance of the helicopter stunned the drivers, causing the vehicles to brake.

The men inside the vehicles were dumbfounded, too baffled to move or think as they froze.

By the time they reacted, more than a dozen gunmen, resembling special forces soldiers and armed to the teeth, were merely a few feet away. The men trembled and raised their hands in fright.

Where had they experienced such a frightening scenario? Pointed at by several rifles with red lasers beaming on their skin. Come on, they were only human traffickers!

Sinner One didn't give them much time to think. The sisters struck once the formation was set. With their bare hands, they smashed the windows and forcefully opened the doors, dragging the men to the floor.

Three women were found in the bus behind. The operators carried them back to 0-1, while the rest handcuffed the men with hoods over their heads.

Without mercy, Spirit Fox hurled the men into another helicopter. 0-2 touched the soil once the area was cleared. A few operators quickly sifted through the interiors, grabbing several papers and checking for any leftover evidence that might expose their existence.

The cleaning process took less than 30 seconds, and the operators retreated. The entire operation, from 0-1 landing to lifting off the ground, lasted less than 2 minutes. Some extra time was wasted on walking back and forth.

The two vehicles exploded, and huge inextinguishable flames engulfed the remaining charred metal frames. Less than a minute later, 0-1 and 0-2 disappeared from the horizon.

0-3 also perfectly completed the mission and joined the returning formation. Ling Qingyu's private satellite sent the videos of the burning vehicles to the command room.

"Mission successful, returning to base."

"Good work, ladies. R2B."

Gu Yi and Assistant Su scratched their foreheads in frustration. They applauded Spirit Fox's brilliant operation, but the act of destroying evidence left them speechless.

The two eyed Su Ruomei and rolled their eyes when the latter shrugged. Please, looking at the manner of how swift and clean the evidence-destroying procedure was, especially from a helmet cam's perspective, this shouldn't be the first time.

Both of them exchanged a helpless glance and turned a blind eye when the interior of 0-2 and 0-3 staged a horrifying playwright. Spirit Fox operators kicked and punched the men.

Some even twitched uncontrollably, although no one was hitting them at the moment. Gu Yi shook her head at Spirit Fox's playfulness.

"You girls aren't afraid that I'll report?"

"Compared to Sister Yang, I believe you'll understand our actions more," Su Ruomei replied with confidence, not minding that their crimes were being watched by the two officials.

In fact, even if the situation went in the opposite direction, they had no evidence. Athena could have taken action to support Spirit Fox's innocence either way. Forging videos, images, and destroying evidence against them wasn't new.

"Hehe, is that the reason why you dare to display and flaunt your crimes?" Gu Yi sounded stern.

"Of course not. We're sincerely cooperating to express our goodwill and promise." Su Ruomei wasn't bothered and turned her gaze away. Though she couldn't engage in the high-level theater between politicians, under Ling Qingyu's lead, she knew how to stabilize herself.

Su Ruomei: "The peace in Province N—how does Minister Gu think we achieve it? Some hands must dig deeper, covered with dirt."

"Don't worry. I'm not like my daughter, but I hope you girls don't go overboard. I haven't seen or heard anything. Report your findings to Assistant Su. She'll take over the rest and investigate the entire case." Gu Yi straightened her clothes and smiled.

"Will do, madame," Su Ruomei nodded. "Assistant Su, please."

"Happy cooperation," said Assistant Su.

"Likewise."

...

Spirit Fox seemed to be busier than ever before. The entire force was forced to work, apart from the guarding mission of Ling Qingyu's residence.

Gu Yi's security, border work, the new rescue mission, and clearance missions in other prefectures. Fortunately, Su Ruomei recruited more than 700 operators.

She thought there were too many, but discovered more were needed to fit the ambition. Of course, she understood these matters owed to the high crime rates.

Once peace settled, disbandment of the task force was natural among official units. Luckily, Sister Ling had promised Spirit Fox's future to grow even further.

700 in her eyes might not even match her ambition, Su Ruomei thought.

When three Sinner teams arrived, three rescued hostages were treated privately, summoning the doctors and nurses with Doctor Mo's help at Ling Qingyu's residence.

With Assistant Su's words, Cai Ning also provided investigation support and recordings for the three women's testimonies as well as medical professionals' reports on the case.

For now, everything was in secrecy. Non-disclosure agreements were signed by all the stakeholders before Gu Yi acted with thunder.

The three women were temporarily treated and fed alongside the necessary psychological counseling.

On the other side, Ling Qingyu's convoy crossed the border without any incidents. A few uncomfortable encounters were solved by Gu Yi's hands.

Further troubles were deterred when Spirit Fox's reinforcements stepped in. The presence of more muzzles shut up any dissatisfaction from the armed members.

A temporary camp was established for the victims, transported across borders. Yang Qingyue and other government officials came to aid.

Police officers and military personnel registered several identities, and government officials managed the necessary procedures, including health care.

In order to avoid unnecessary predicaments, several Aegis and Spirit Fox members were stationed nearby as deterrence.

The Spirit Fox and Wolf Squadron members who participated drove away to rest at Imperial Resort under Ling Qingyu's name.

The technicals and Land Cruisers caught public eyes, but the police escort didn't cause any unrest.

Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi briefed their experience to Yang Qingyue in detail. The latter's reddened eyes glared at the former when she realized the cooperation between this bastard and her mother.

In public, she endured her resentment and behaved officially. Her eyes warned Ling Qingyu not to escape.

Tang Ziyi teasingly smacked her lips and left alone under Ling Qingyu's grieving puppy gaze.

True sisters separate. As a good sister, it wasn't good to experience what was meant for Ling Qingyu together.

"Enjoy your time. Sayonara, Baby Yu." The moment Tang Ziyi patted her shoulder meaningfully when she disappeared, Ling Qingyu condemned her cheating betrayal.

Ling Qingyu watched Yang Qingyue's busy figure and decided to step away silently, but a calm speech chilled her feet to halt like a heavy stone pressing on her back.

"Where do you think you're going?"
