Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Every Kilo began to busy themselves as they investigated deeper and screened out members of the syndicate criminal organization hiding within the crowd.

Under Athena's sifting and Spirit Fox's talent, they had no escape. Actually, Athena didn't even need to assist since the girls themselves were skillful enough to detect and extract essential information.

Although the whole day hadn't passed since the beginning of the operation and Ling Qingyu considered three days to complete the tasks she had in mind, as long as Spirit Fox operators finished separating the innocent from the guilty and stored vital intelligence for government enforcement to work on, they could return sooner.

Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu sat at the makeshift table and took out the ready-made meals. The others, except those responsible for sentry duty, were eating.

Everyone had been moving nonstop the entire night and needed energy to sustain progress.

"I thought we needed three days to eliminate everyone, but this…" Ling Qingyu, despite her special operator's suit, ate elegantly and spoke.

"It's a rough estimate, and I believe my numbers are correct. It's just that we cheated a lot." Tang Ziyi almost laughed as she replied.

This syndicate gang, which had reigned terror, must be the unluckiest pessimon to be chosen by Spirit Fox.

First, the operators chosen had surpassed normal human limits and could be classified as super soldiers. There were also two humanoid tanks—Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi—to wreak absolute havoc, particularly as their daring rescue disrupted the gang's every arrangement and backhand plan.

Second, the new armed gunships obliterated the consequences of their raids without breaking a sweat. Well, it did cost so many yuans, but Ling Qingyu had long since lost her frugality.

Third, because of the rapid progress, their worries about foreign intervention were minimal. Time stood by their side.

"When can we go back?" Ling Qingyu remembered the most concerning issue and asked.

"This evening at the latest. Of course, if you want to stay longer—"

"Only a ghost will stay here. I miss the luxury and comfort of my home," Ling Qingyu interrupted.

"I bet you miss the beautiful courtesans' massage service," Tang Ziyi scorned and rolled her eyes.

"It's not like I don't know about your frequent visits as well."

"What do you know? I'm busy with whatever you ask, and I need some leisurely relaxation. Can't I even ask for that?" Tang Ziyi excused herself without blushing for even a microsecond.

Ling Qingyu gave up bickering and looked at the devastated yet energetic scenes outside. Destroyed infrastructure yet the people, unshackled from tyranny, loved the smell of freedom.

Only those who had lost the preciousness would understand what a prize and luck it was to enjoy true humanity.

The women, in a disheveled state, felt a sense of relief fill their bodies. Though the scars couldn't be removed, they survived.

Compared to those who never had the chance to breathe again, they were lucky. Likewise, men who experienced the worst of human suffering at the hands of demons hidden in human skin gazed at the perpetrators with hatred.

Many had lost their loved ones—friends and families. What struck them the most was the guilt of bringing in or ensnaring innocents into the evil den. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

They were the ones who had killed these innocents, who were full of hope for their future, literally shattering their dreams and trust.

Of course, Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu didn't plan to let them go easily just because they were coerced, despite many in this party. They were hateful yet pitiful as well.

Only the law could treat them fairly and ensure they got what they deserved. At least, their guilt would lessen when they faced punishment, even if it was light.

In fact, Spirit Fox operators were talented enough to serve as political commissars, delivering on-the-spot psychological counseling and shining bright hopes to minimize the crowd's impact.

Although nobody feared something going wrong with the large crowd, if it could be avoided, why not prevent something bad from happening in the first place?

Hours passed, and noon arrived. All Kilos conducted Tang Ziyi's requests without fault. They had initiated three rounds of screening to ensure no enemies were missed in their search.

Athena's verification eased the two leaders—Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi. The former was busy with logistics and recharging drones.

The latter paid great attention to the surrounding foreign forces in the vicinity. The slightest detail of changes attracted her eyes whenever she received Athena's reports.

Even though all of them were false alarms, she treated them with care. In fact, Kilo 2 and Kilo 3 had discovered a few scouting elements snooping around.

The fire and sound from last night must have raised suspicions. Also, when they couldn't connect with their own agents inside, the scrutiny was now or never.

Tang Ziyi wasn't naive enough to believe their actions could be hidden seamlessly—especially when surrounding forces were so close to one another.

Maybe they didn't yet know of Spirit Fox's complete takeover. The Virgin Gunship's rotor slashes as well as the cracks of gunpowder were sufficient for them to take action.

If they investigated further, everything hidden would be unveiled. Naturally, Tang Ziyi could order her subordinates to kill everyone to prevent leakage, but was it worth it, or was it necessary?

She didn't mind offending others because she had no fear. Ling Qingyu's backing gave her immense confidence.

However, it didn't align with her conduct to involve unrelated factions and cause further troubles in diplomacy. Spirit Fox mustn't behave arrogantly, despite their strong capital, to prevent future crises. They hadn't yet reached the state where they could.

Besides, if Tang Ziyi killed these sniffing parties without appropriate reasons, the girls might have doubts and dislikes.

Spirit Fox: No, we don't! We want piu piu!

…

In the available spaces, intact buses, vans, and trucks were parked. All Kilo members prepared to evacuate en masse. Priority was given to their compatriots, naturally.

Of course, there were victims from other nations who were defrauded and forced to stay here. They couldn't release them and let them escape on their own. That would be too irresponsible.

Unlike those protagonists who liked to throw away victims without the slightest care as if afraid of moral kidnapping, indulging in their desires without any guilt, Ling Qingyu would never copy this madness.

Not that it was wrong, but as a human being, great strength must correspond to great responsibility—not imposed by others but willingly following one's humanity, provided no dangers or insurmountable problems arose.

She wasn't a Virgin character. Well, maybe, but whatever. She admitted some actions might be too saintly, but they were only for those who deserved her care and love.

For enemies, she was far crueler and ruthlessly extreme. Any of her enemies had to be crushed. To live good and righteous, one must know how to be despicable and evil.

In addition, these righteous and responsible acts didn't cost her a sweat or pose any trouble. Interest-wise, she gained far heavier advantages than her energy input.

By now, Kilo teams had arranged the victims as well as transportation. A group of two handled the lists of people in each vehicle. Leaving aside those who made a living here or grew up here with families, the task force would only take away the victims to fulfill the rescue mission.

Perhaps, the civilians who prospered and grew up here might even harbor hatred because their businesses were affected. Who knew?

After all, it was a fact that Spirit Fox had flushed in and destroyed everything. It would take a while before things recovered.

Actually, Spirit Fox operators detected unhidden malice among several civilians. The sisters were unscrupulous in their searches and interrogations, further raising repulsion and detestation from public sentiment.

Many of these civilians were indeed linked to the criminal organization, but not enough to provoke Spirit Fox's wrath.

The girls ignored them, not minding at all that they had offended a group of people.

These accounts reached Tang Ziyi's ears, who shrugged helplessly. In life, nobody could satisfy everyone—not even those gods deified in the classics.

She understood these people's resistance to the Kilos' presence. Who knew if someone had been killed or arrested by them?

The most likely reason owed to Spirit Fox's actions killing their wealth. Even if their deeds were righteous, unfriendly beings would still exist.

Clearly, in a country filled with drug wars between cartels and the government, some regions supported the criminals when they saw money and prosperity, not caring if the economy came from a clean source.

They wouldn't even mind selling diamonds painted with blood. Those people existed. Maybe the government was too corrupt to raise favoritism, but…

Tang Ziyi could only raise her alertness and recall Kilo 2 and Kilo 3 to make up the number. There was no need to emphasize perimeter security too far when satellite overwatch served the same purpose.

After avoiding the peak noon, Tang Ziyi decided to return. Ling Qingyu happily retracted the logistics into her bracelet and hopped onto the Land Cruiser to drive.

However, before Tang Ziyi had time to order, Athena's message stopped everyone. An unidentified drone was flying in their direction!
