Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Ling Qingyu's convoy evacuated systematically, leaving the ruins and city center. The long formation naturally attracted attention from civilians in the area.

They were too scared to go out after last night's fierce battle. Watching the 'invader' pull out without the slightest thought of occupation, many were puzzled, at a loss for their future.

What would they do to feed their families? How should they survive? Although they had to pay huge compensation to survive, they made money at least.

Well, even if some had to sell their daughters, they didn't think anything was wrong. The society here hadn't been enlightened yet or had succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome. Those who knew suffered silently.

In any case, these matters didn't burden Ling Qingyu's morals or values. She had no time or energy to save everyone, not to mention psychologically as well.

She solved the biggest scourge, suppressing their development. If these people couldn't keep up with their thinking, there was nothing she could do.

Although she had the wealth to sustain this small-sized city without any pressure, this place would soon be controlled by the country's military.

Now, the formation was too keen on tactical retreat. Nope, a true evacuation, not running away or fleeing because of fright.

Yes, they had no fear of military reprisal. They just didn't want to engage in a useless battle.

After all, the military had a well-formed air force and artillery teams. It was best to avoid combat unless necessary. Perhaps Tang Ziyi's act of destroying a drone made the military wary; no more troubles came.

However, how long could one suppress someone's curiosity? Because the military couldn't contact the militants' superiors or the warlord's confidantes, with whom both sides exchanged information despite their antagonism, they sent in another drone and flew it at a higher altitude.

Fighter jets and armed helicopters were dispatched nearby. This time, if a drone was destroyed again, they would retaliate. However, the footage showed nothing amiss, not realizing Athena had interfered with their electronics.

The generals and colonels scratched their heads, confused at the sudden turn of events. Nothing seemed to be happening, but they couldn't contact the militants. Plus, there were fires in the outskirts too.

One hour after the group departed from the city, the military high command finally ordered the nearest platoons to investigate and discovered ruined outposts. Not one, but many…

Even the bases were destroyed, including annihilated militias. Multiple similar reports led to a decisive offensive operation, and the platoon changed to a regiment. The preliminary reports indicated that a large explosion shredded these bases.

Two hours later, when Ling Qingyu's convoy was 45 minutes away from the border, the military finally discovered the reality, completely in contrast to the earlier surveillance.

The higher-ups were immediately drenched in cold sweat. Damn it, how high was the technology to cover up everything? As more reports came in, their legs weakened.

There were no survivors related to the warlord's faction. Interrogation results depicted the battle scenes.

The staff members concluded this was a thunder operation by special forces units, highly equipped and trained. In fact, too highly, in their opinion, to eliminate the entire militia group.

From their departure direction and civilians' words, they had a guess: Country C raided this city. The generals argued and had another higher-up meeting to determine their next steps. Diplomatic politics weren't their responsibility; the commander-in-chief should have this headache with the civilian government.

Hmm, nope, now that the military had staged a coup and controlled the government, it seemed like it was their turn? How to talk?

The generals knew they had their hands on the dirty transactions with the destroyed militants. They feared their lives would be gone in the following days if Country C found out.

Of course, nobody currently in command thought much and secured the new territories. Owing to their advantage in intelligence and equipment, they expanded their controlled areas faster than the nearest rebel groups.

At least, no one disliked the benefit of getting something for nothing. As for targeting the suspected Country C's convoy, they weren't idiots.

Even their reports to the higher-ups received silence and were put on hold. Fortunately, they didn't move—Athena and Elena were monitoring their troops' movements.

The slightest suspicion would open another Pandora's box. The humongous submarine submerged under the sea closest to them was ready to unveil its fangs.

Had they decided to pursue, Athena and Elena would definitely deliver their wrath! The electromagnetic cannons were thirsty for their first blood.

Tang Ziyi snickered at the military's reaction and shook her head. As expected, the deterrence was necessary for a smooth evacuation, even if they didn't need it.

Overthinking by the military allowed a time frame to get to the border. It was best to not utilize Elena's strength, alarming the world and even raising fears.

Spirit Fox needed fame and attention but not to a dangerous extent. In fact, Spirit Fox's resume already outshone the average mercenary group or PMC.

In the future, though unlikely to experience combat, Spirit Fox would have more options and networks if Gu Yi introduced them to others.

Actually, Ling Qingyu already reorganized her dreams of owning a mercenary group to receive Black Ops orders from customers. Surviving the first combat, she knew the toll it took on her subordinates.

She would rather they enjoyed peacetime and indulged in routine police patrols like now than survived through horrifying ordeals and nonstop explosions. The same idea remained despite Tang Ziyi's cheating technologies, which prioritized her girls' safety to an extreme.

Nonetheless, she understood to long for peace, she must ensure that her military force could strike at a moment's notice.

Although her force wasn't comparable to a country, her future goals demanded such efforts. There was a long way to go!

The compatriots and other nationals, who escaped from the evil den, cried out their grievances as their moods lightened when they heard the destination was getting closer.

By now, nobody was stupid enough to think that a third party wanted benefits from the militants. They belonged to Country C to rescue their citizens.

Other nationals, who had long been forgotten, envied those from Country C. Although their numbers were the highest to be trafficked, the motherland still made real actions.

Perhaps they should thank Gu Yi instead of the countries they thought of, who met Ling Qingyu to forcefully rescue people, despite the targets belonging to her own subordinates, not the other victims.

Otherwise, they would rot to death, without the slightest hope of seeing a rare light, living in the world of pain and humiliation.

Those bastards sitting uselessly on the chairs fighting wars of words and wits for their benefits gained so much advantage from Spirit Fox's rescue. Gu Yi must also lose a few of her hairs too.

This must be the real deed of taking a step back for a better future. Anyway, Ling Qingyu hoped to return to her manor soon. She needed a deep sleep and a thorough massage.

Maybe more beautiful confidantes to surround her as well: Sister Zhao Xiurong, Sister Su Ruomei, Sister Jiang Yu, Xiao Yue, and Tang Ziyi.

Though one was beside her, she wasn't comforted but agitated. This bastard always knew her soft spots and managed to poke them every time.

Just around the road curve, Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi sighed in relief as they saw the border fences. About 5 minutes later, the formation should arrive at the checkpoint.

The duo had informed Gu Yi of this matter, and the latter expressed surprise and praise, not expecting Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi to dare to rescue all the victims.

Because of the time, Gu Yi wanted further details once they met again. She could only click her tongue at her daughter-in-law's capability and call General Tang to mobilize border units.

Of course, to avoid conflicts between Spirit Fox and the military in Province N, she intervened directly and gave temporary authorization to Spirit Fox units.

As soon as Jiang Yu received the mobilization 'talisman,' Spirit Fox units would welcome their boss. It was better to use familiar forces instead of trusting the army.

The corrupted atmosphere increased the risks of complications and further conflicts. Not to mention, if Tang Ziyi announced their identities, someone might pose a few obstacles.

One more moment staying outside of the border meant instability and troubles. Even if orders came from above, without strength, some actions faced challenges.

With a group of sisters to back her up in numbers, she had one less fear. Ling Qingyu thought the same and smiled.

After Gu Yi hung up the call, she continued to speak with the rescued targets, transported by a mysterious helicopter.

She knew this belonged to Ling Qingyu, and somehow the aircraft seemed invisible to Country C's monitoring system.

She asked General Tang implicitly by stating her curiosity whether any military aircraft operated nearby, as well as her subordinates to look out for the aircraft.

Unsurprisingly, she received a negative answer. General Tang asked with suspicion, and Gu Yi shrugged the answer off.

A joke, she was also a beneficiary of Ling Qingyu's secrets. She would secretly ask for a favor as an elder and knew the information firsthand.

Plus, she believed Ling Qingyu would treat her well. Since the helicopter was displayed in front of her, it meant that the matter wasn't too confidential.

Ling Qingyu's generosity, she gladly accepted the deal without a doubt. Now, she still wanted to launch queries in person to the two undercover operatives and two unrelated personnel.

Due to their injuries and state of mind, and Doctor's Mo cold treatment, Gu Yi dared not interfere even if she was a minister. Though the doctor seemed respectful, when she conducted treatments, even Gu Yi felt frightened by the overflowing aura.
