Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Now that four patients were announced safe, Gu Yi and Assistant Su paid a 'visit' to ask questions, ignoring the threatening eyes of the nurses.

Damn, when was her position as a minister so blatantly ignored? At least the dean should have ordered his subordinates to treat her with respect, right? Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

Perhaps only the dean, Doctor Mo, and Nurse Yin knew her identity. The others merely thought she was some kind of official, but shouldn't most people usually feel awe?

What Gu Yi didn't know was that Ling Qingyu's backing gave people the courage to stand strong. Their spines straightened as long as they did their jobs well.

No longer were the days when they had to cower and please others. From the top to bottom, because of Ling Qingyu's interference, the atmosphere grew healthier.

Most hospital staff had become loyal followers of Ling Qingyu and also heard that their goddess planned to establish Spirit Foundations. It might take a while before implementation, but hope existed.

Despite the hospital being classified as public under the government, Ling Qingyu's influence had infiltrated the officials, slowly increasing her sway over the decision-making process.

Not that they followed her every word, but every choice considered Ling Qingyu's approval or interest. Not only did Operation Skyclear by Yang Qingyue cleanse everyone, but it also allowed Ling Qingyu to support new members.

Combined with the immense donation she invested, only fools would refuse and ignore Ling Qingyu's presence. These projects, stalled from a lack of funding, would surely thrive after completion, which would allow for group promotions!

Ling Qingyu's acts of throwing money had already entered Gu Yi's vision, making the latter sigh and feel a little wary.

However, since they were currently part of the same family, everyone shared the same interests. It didn't matter if Ling Qingyu planned against the state machine as long as she didn't betray the nation.

Gu Yi and Assistant Su listened to the narration of the undercover operatives and their thrilling experiences.

Both showed care for the two agents, despite the latter not elaborating on their sufferings. They shed cold sweats after learning how close to death the two agents had been.

A mere second away. If not for the foreign woman's intervention to stretch the time, even Spirit Fox might have had to collect bodies.

They were also dumbfounded that the rescuers consisted of only two operators. Due to the chaos and separation from the two rescuers, they couldn't guess their identities.

Gu Yi and Assistant Su would never know that Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu were the culprits. In any case, two operators went in and out, facing hundreds of enemies and overwhelming them.

Plus, they carried several burdens as they retreated. These feats were beyond Gu Yi's specifications for elites.

Perhaps Gu Yi might not understand the difficulty involved for the two operators, but Assistant Su had relevant military knowledge and was aware of the stakes.

With her words on the sideline, Gu Yi gasped and wondered what good deeds she had done in a past life to get involved with and take Spirit Fox under her wing indirectly.

At the same time, as the story progressed, Gu Yi and Assistant Su clenched their heart muscles to maintain a stable expression.

Heck, if not for the quick reinforcement to evacuate at the final moments, she would never have seen the two agents and might have had to apologize to her daughter-in-law.

Both Gu Yi and Assistant Su never considered Ling Qingyu to fight personally. According to their knowledge, no sane commander would assault with their body at risk, jeopardizing the overall situation.

Even though they were able to feel Spirit Fox's combat effectiveness up close, only the agents and the foreign woman understood deeply the horrifying strength involved, specifically the latter, who was princess-carried.

Among the talkers, nobody knew better than her. Everyone misinterpreted Spirit Fox's aptitudes by comparing the two monsters to the rest of the operators.

Sure, every sister possessed the capability of monsters, but Tang Ziyi's and Ling Qingyu's feats led to overestimation at an unimaginable level.

Naturally, this only applied to ex-Interpol Sofia. The others merely allocated Spirit Fox's level to world-class tier one.

From the agents' descriptions, Gu Yi and Assistant Su learned about Sofia's identity and offered help, but the latter rejected it.

She was too disappointed with her department and superiors. She merely requested an identity to stay here legally.

Gu Yi agreed to help after a detailed investigation of Sofia's case and promised that she wouldn't suffer living in Country C.

Xenophobia and estrangement against foreigners were nothing new for most nationals. These had lessened with modernization efforts. Tourism didn't matter, but it would be hard for a foreigner to find a job here without learning the language.

Even then, most were dissuaded from hiring one owing to bureaucratic complications. Gu Yi decided to throw away the problems for her daughter-in-law.

It wasn't the first time she solved similar issues that the government had a hard time handling.

Ling Qingyu: Why, thank you!

The conversation was disturbed by Spirit Fox's operator's entry. Gu Yi knew this one was the commander of the entire team in Province N.

Su Ruomei reported Jiang Yu's departure to meet up with Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu. Although everyone knew, they abided by the protocol.

At the same time, Su Ruomei had something else on her mind. She gestured with her eyes, and the two veteran officials understood.

Finding an appropriate reason to leave the room, Gu Yi and Assistant Su followed Su Ruomei out.

"What's the matter?" Gu Yi asked.

"Ma'am, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh? Why? Do tell me before I can decide." Gu Yi exchanged a glance with her assistant, a little confused by Spirit Fox's operator's initiative.

Was there something that Ling Qingyu couldn't solve? Gu Yi became interested and smiled.

"It's about… Anyway, please look at the screen first." Su Ruomei handed over her tablet.

Dubiously, Gu Yi picked it up and read the files. Her face darkened as she asked, "Shouldn't these be handled by the police? Why are you showing this to me?"

Assistant Su was also curious, and her expression showed no difference. Although both deeply realized the darkness going on inside some regions of Country C, when they saw several files personally, they almost lost their self-control.

Su Ruomei was satisfied and felt confident about her next words. "You have seen the three victims: Jiang Xue, Yu Lan, and Li Hong. They need your help."@@novelbin@@

"What can we do?"

"We need your authorization to operate in other provinces."

"Why?"

"We believe our intel suggests that they will be trafficked away soon, out of the country. We have informed relevant authorities about other victims, but these three need our hands."

"How so?" Gu Yi asked.

"Targeted by vicious criminals and corrupt law enforcement in the region, even if we send the details, we're helpless," Su Ruomei shrugged and explained.

"But that's still far away, right?" Gu Yi hesitated. "Couldn't my order and pressure force the authorities nearby to rescue them?"

"Unfortunately, ma'am minister, it's impossible. It'll take time, and some people might just playfully follow your orders," Su Ruomei rejected Gu Yi's thought. "We need immediate action, now."

"Spirit Fox will intervene straightaway and bypass all the commands."

"Yes," Su Ruomei nodded. "With your orders, we will dispatch three helicopters to assault. Trust me, ma'am, by the time of our departure, they might have already left the area they're held hostage in for the transfer location."

"Do you need to inform local authorities? How would you continue a deeper investigation without them?"

"I sincerely wish you wouldn't," Su Ruomei stated her point. "We can assure you, we have zero tolerance for these absurd evils and can extract information out of their mouths. There is no one who dares to resist us."

Gu Yi and Assistant Su: "…" — Was that something this operator should say in front of the Minister of Justice?

Su Ruomei added: "For now, we're keeping track of their locations. We are confident we can intervene without exposing ourselves. Apart from the two madams and our operators, no other party shall be aware of the action."

"Black ops then," muttered Assistant Su. "But such kinds of 'dirty' ops shouldn't need our authorization."

"That's a backup plan in case we need help or…"

"Say no more, I understand," Gu Yi interrupted. "You'll have our secret orders. Go ahead."

"Gladly." Su Ruomei cracked the radio comms and gave permission. Three teams would fly directly to rescue.

After hearing Su Ruomei's command, Gu Yi's eyelids twitched as she wondered if Spirit Fox was overkill here—more than blasting a mosquito with a cannon.

Perhaps noticing Gu Yi's and Assistant Su's behavior, Su Ruomei explained with a shrug, "I can't help it when we know somebody is in danger, and relevant authorities are the least optimal choice for help. In fact, with us, there's going to be no loopholes. I just wish, from my personal perspective, that madam launches a task force to root out every sex trafficking den and link in the country. We promise to provide support as an assault unit."

"You can make a decision?" Gu Yi sounded surprised.

"Sister Ling allows me to act freely in Province N. If we have your word, it's possible nationwide with her nod. You can trust us regarding confidentiality. We'd love to nail every evil bastard that manages to escape the law by other means."

Gu Yi raised her brows and contemplated the possibility. She was amazed at Spirit Fox's decentralization. Seven hundred to eight hundred tier-one special force operators, who could beat up national elite units without a problem, seemed alarming, but considering the country owned a million-strong armed police force, Gu Yi's worries disappeared.
