Chapter 345 Ling Qingyu's invincible guards
However there was one aspect, Ling Qingyu was puzzled with. How on earth or heaven did Yang Qingyue discover she was the true culprit?
Even if she was interrogated, she would never admit her doing. Only fool does. With every piece in place, there shouldn't be any suspicion, but why?
Sometimes, a woman's intuition was a mystery, that Ling Qingyu would never understand. Yang Qingyue as her lover should sense something after testing out. As perceived, another reason why Yang Qingyue laid her eyes on her dear was the execution of assassins being too perfect, without dark spots.
If there were talented operators in her prefecture, Ling Qingyu owned one and a lot. She understood what Ling Qingyu's guards' background and training were.
Naturally, although Ling Qingyu saw her subordinates achieve success, she was never complacent and warned herself to not become the person she abhorred. Only use the blade on where it should strike.
Thinking carefully and ensuring there would be no loopholes in the plan, Ling Qingyu eyed her dear with doubt. Then, she saw Yang Qingyue frowning. "Is there a problem with us taking action? Or do you have dissatisfaction with the special unit's handling method?"
"No, it's just…" Yang Qingyue tapped her knuckles against the furniture, seemingly hesitant to express her meaning. "It's really embarrassing if you know the reason."
"There is no need for that. We are together in this. If you don't confide your worries, what's the use of us? Besides, be optimistic. It should be the gangs having worries, not us." Cai Ning said.
"Alright, Sister Yang. Just let it out. We feel suffocated looking at your expression." Ling Qingyu chided softly.
"Okay, since you girls insist, I'll be merciless." Yang Qingyue conceded. "Remember the first time I entered office and took drastic action, thinking I had a handle and tried to rectify the corrupted police force?"
"We remember. In fact, I'm amazed at your transformation from pure idealist to someone who knows how to compromise." Cai Ning supported Yang Qingyue. "Even though the results were frightening, people must grow and they need an arena. So, we never blame you, Sister Yang."
Ling Qingyu clicked her tongue. If Yang Qingyue was too worried, she might be the true culprit. She delivered those handles with selfish ideas and never expected Yang Qingyue to work too quickly and the enemies to respond more fiercely.
Fortunately, the outcome was satisfying, establishing her force and strong prestige for Yang Qingyue in the elite circle, deterring any further malicious party. These provided grounds and valuable timing for Yang Qingyue to act.

"Sister Yang, don't worry too much. It won't happen again, I promise. Not to mention, this time I'm more like a strong ally than a cooperating party." Ling Qingyu decided to console Yang Qingyue, who became suddenly weak.
"What's with your face?" Yang Qingyue was dumbfounded by the two's sympathetic glances. She had never been weak, okay! "Don't you have any idea what will happen if we wipe out Tiger gang?"
Cai Ning frowned; she seemed to be able to catch a light but it fled from her grasp. She tried again but to no avail. Ling Qingyu rubbed her chin and her eyes narrowed.
If she guessed correctly, such outcomes were indeed worrying for conventional law enforcement with limited resources working in a corrupted environment. Nonetheless, Yang Qingyue might have forgotten the true strength of hers.
She wasn't certain if her guess would reciprocate Yang Qingyue's worries. "Is it chaos again?"
"Yes, chaos. Uncontrollable situation like last time. We only arrested the officials and people try hard to blacken me, though it fails in the end thanks to you." Yang Qingyue looked at Ling Qingyu with gratitude, not only for her but also for the people of Province N. Ling Qingyu gave hope of light that the gruesome situation would be over one day.
"What if we eliminate or arrest Boss Hu and important members? If we wiped out Tiger gang, there would be an exact vacuum of power that might raise interest for the small gangs."
Yang Qingyue: "We have no idea how many and we can't record the list but they exist. Right now because they are being pressed by a tyrant, they dare not move. But once Tiger gang disappears, the stakes and future reward will turn them into sharks lusting for bloody prey.
"My manpower cannot suppress the probable struggles for power even with Sister Ling's subordinates adding to the equation. Not to mention, we don't know whether that commissioner will hold me back in some ways again. Of course, there are other powerful gangs, possessing similar strength as Tiger's competing for territories. We might launch a bloody game of throne by mistakes."
Cai Ning slumped in her seat. She didn't bother to calculate risk and reward based on the circumstances described by Yang Qingyue. At the same time, she felt grateful, that her childhood friend had emerged as a powerhouse, no longer the one who called her elder sister for protection. Time had changed.
Ling Qingyu had no idea what Cai Ning was thinking, merely guessing the girl became upset after hearing Yang Qingyue say. However, Ling Qingyu believed the situation would never lead to such a dire level.
In fact, normally what Yang Qingyue spoke was likely to happen. Insufficient manpower to handle the chaos, political turmoil that might jeopardize the hard-earned unstable peace for a while, and pressure from the top which might affect Yang Qingyue's future goals and steps were the obstacles, standing at a tipping point.
Victory meant Yang's goal became closer. Defeat suggested everything she had done might become a waste. Facing do-or-die outcomes, Ling Qingyu no longer blamed Yang Qingyue's reluctance. As a leader, Yang Qingyue must be responsible for her subordinates and the people.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Listen, Sister Yang, I think you really forget about me in the equation or should I say you don't know me enough." Ling Qingyu sounded mysterious but her teasing action drew white eyes from Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning.
Ling Qingyu's lips twitched. Sisters, please cooperate with my performance. They knew Ling Qingyu would answer soon no matter how she pretended to be profound. What a waste preparing for the performance, Ling Qingyu sighed.
Clicking her tongue in dissatisfaction, Ling Qingyu smiled with a grimace at the two women. "How many guards do you think I have are capable of comparing them to Special Operatives? Sister Yang?"
"If I remember correctly, you said to recruit 200 female soldiers, right?" Yang Qingyue replied after a short pause. "I don't think I even saw 100 or 150 of them on duty in the statistics. I don't know why you focus on recruiting women, that will be another additional waste of brainpower for you."
"Why do you look down on women? They are just as capable, so long as their will remain strong, especially in the modern era where we are more dependent on technologies." Ling Qingyu waved her fist to protest. "And do you think I only focus on girls because of my ideas? No, in fact, Sister Tang can train them to astonishing fearsome units."
Well, Ling Qingyu would never admit the secrets. Tang Ziyi made another groundbreaking discovery and polished the previous methods she used on Ling Qingyu's guards. As time passed, with systematic trainings and exercising methods surpass the world, her girls should eat garbage if they didn't improve.
