Chapter 638 Third case
The main suspect was grateful and subtly thanked Spirit Fox, but the operators merely stated that he was going to jail anyway.
It was only a favor to seek true justice and clear his sister's case. Plus, the act was righteous as well.
Their inexplicable and outrageous methods as law enforcement opened his eyes. However, he wasn't foolish enough to talk about it openly.
When the investigation team led by Yang Qingyue arrived, the Spirit Fox operators returned to their original posts. The detective team followed along unwillingly, while the other police officers gained a story to tell in the future.
When the case went public, it went viral. Ordinary people were always fascinated by tales of violent justice taken personally, especially when the outcome aligned with a righteous cause.
The authorities grew concerned as discussions spiraled out of control, fearing the emergence of vigilantes and extremists, which could disrupt the established order.
Rumors circulated that it was Spirit Fox's involvement that framed the case as a righteous cause.
Otherwise, given the man's atrocious acts, it would have been difficult to convince the public of his motive for manslaughter.
Soon, those connected to the case were swiftly taken down once Yang Qingyue intervened. Even the police commissioner of that province had to sacrifice several loyalists to save himself, harboring resentment as a result.
The new enmity forged didn't concern Yang Qingyue. Naturally, this didn't stop Ling Qingyu from adding salt to the wound.
Athena's detailed and weighty report to the corruption bureau and Gu Yi prompted swift action to prevent any further spread that could tarnish the government's reputation.
The police commissioner stood no chance of survival or revenge. Ling Qingyu destroyed every possible avenue for retaliation. What her wife hadn't cleared, she ensured was nipped in the bud, abolishing any remaining roots.
With Ling Qingyu involved, no matter how convoluted or deeply connected the commissioner's network was within his province, his sentence wasn't going to be easily dismissed.

The third case unfolded similarly near the outskirts. This time, the story began with the elder sister of a young student committing murder and torture.
Her younger sister had been bullied and treated unfairly, leading her to attempt suicide by jumping off a building. She survived but lost consciousness, with little hope of recovery.
Frustrated and angered by the lack of response from the relevant authorities—especially since the leader of the bullying group was the daughter of a conglomerate—the elder sister lashed out violently.
Planning meticulously, she took her time to torture her sister's bullies and extract vital information. For those with minor involvement, the punishment resulted in injuries that would heal within weeks.
However, the darker participants suffered serious injuries that left permanent scars, and the worst offenders were directly tortured and killed.
When educated individuals turn into villains, they become a force to be feared, and the police struggled to track and protect the remaining victims.
They couldn't figure out how the culprit continually evaded them. Although they suspected her identity, they were helpless to act.
Attempts to pressure her by incriminating her unconscious family members were dismissed, as it could backfire and worsen the situation.
Step by step, the woman manipulated the police like a puppeteer until her final act brought her to the outskirts of Province N, where Spirit Fox operators and other police special units were called in.
Ordered to encircle a tall building, they witnessed the unthinkable. Without hesitation, the woman smiled at her pursuers and jumped off the building with another female student—the leader and true culprit behind her sister's plight—just as the detectives arrived to apprehend her.
The woman died from the fall, but the female student survived. However, her condition was dire, as her nervous system was completely destroyed, leaving her bedridden for life.
Perhaps this was the karma she deserved. No amount of money or connections could save her from her disability. She had received the punishment for her actions.
Initially, Spirit Fox operators were unclear about the background of the case until Athena briefed them after the mission.
Had they known earlier, they might have been able to prevent the tragedy, though they felt conflicted about whether they would have wanted to, as their intervention might have denied someone their rightful vengeance.
Here, the elder sister was seen as an absolute badass and avenger, exacting revenge for every crime her sister had endured.
At the same time, the operators couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy for the elder sister, who was willing to go dark and dirty for her loved ones.
Even though such thoughts were dangerous, nobody cared. Yang Qingyue, as their nominal leader, was aware of her subordinates' subtleties.
She had already guessed the mindset of Spirit Fox.
The news eventually reached Ling Qingyu when the operators informed her, fearing that the bullies' families might retaliate against the younger sister, who lay unconscious in a hospital bed.
Ling Qingyu didn't hesitate. She transferred the patient to the public hospital where Mo Yunxi worked and ordered Athena to provide covert protection.
Meanwhile, Yang Qingyue took similar action, granting rights and permissions and cutting through bureaucratic red tape via Gu Yi's channels to ensure Spirit Fox operators could protect the girl as a key witness.
So, the girl was transferred safely to Province N and received high-level healthcare under Ling Qingyu's donation and oversight.
As for the opinions of the bullies' family members or victims, no attention was paid to them as long as they were responsible for the girl's attempted suicide.
The three cases altered the perspectives of the Spirit Fox operators. Compared to Ling Qingyu, who had experience and deep understanding of evil matters, the operators could be regarded as pure beings.
The three cases were neither black nor white. Although they understood that the world was filled with shades of grey, they didn't expect such extreme scenarios to confront them.
From chasing gang leaders and serial killers to vigilantes avenging their loved ones, they felt both respect and sadness. Complicated emotions rang through their minds, especially from the last case.
It hit the nail on the head. Sometimes, they wished for more "lunatics" like the elder sister to emerge, so the elites would understand the value of life and learn to respect it, rather than exploiting others for their own gain.
In the face of death, everyone was equal. If only such awareness were universal, there would be no injustice.
Condoning bullying or trying to avoid addressing it could lead to even greater disasters. This wasn't new, as seen in Country A in the west, where former bullied victims lashed out and committed acts of gun violence. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Anyway, the three cases completely transformed Province N's image. Odd titles began emerging among citizens, calling Province N the "Land of Justice."
In the near future, Yang Qingyue would face headaches dealing with similar vigilantes and avengers taking action in Province N.
More people began believing that Province N would ensure true justice and offer them help. Upholding such a high reputation for justice seemed advantageous, but if she had to handle numerous crimes to uncover the truth, Yang Qingyue wasn't keen on being caught up in such storms.
Most injustices arose from someone abusing their power. If she had to tackle too many corrupt officials, she could risk offending too many parties and drowning in retaliation, even with Gu Yi's and Ling Qingyu's support.@@novelbin@@
Fortunately, Ling Qingyu could operate in the shadows through her hacker friend, minimizing the need for public intervention.
Sometimes, amusing cases like business espionage would occur in Province N, where spies, fearing assassination, escaped from rivalries and sought protection, relying on Spirit Fox's presence.
For instance, a female spy was rescued after her apartment was breached. She managed to hold out long enough for Spirit Fox's quick reaction team to be deployed. The two hired killers were arrested before they realized what had happened.
In fact, the female spy was astonished and grateful for her decision to stay in Province N.
After all, Province N—particularly City N—was notorious for its outstanding safety levels and rapid security response.
It wasn't unusual for operators to respond quickly to emergencies. Thefts and fights were rarely prolonged, as they were quelled within minutes.
All crimes, including possible rape and abduction, were swiftly subdued. Numerous rescues had been staged by Spirit Fox, thanks to Athena and her newly developed AI algorithm, managed by Yang Qingyue's police force, which predicted potential crimes and their probabilities.
Sure enough, more rumors spread within certain circles, leading to several migrations. Most of those relocating were whistleblowers who feared reprisals from the elites.
With time, Yang Qingyue's leadership within the police force, her allies in Province N's politics, and Gu Yi's influence would ensure that Province N became independent of outside interference—a significant benefit for the people.
Of course, this also included Ling Qingyu, who sought to instill her influence and exert control behind the scenes. Chaos is the ladder.
For Ling Qingyu, the current status was the perfect springboard to consolidate her gains and encroached more to raise her 'friends.'
