Chapitre 15: Retaliation

Unfortunately, in contrast to her hope, the system gave her a negative answer. Although she already was convinced it should be this way since which stallion man had she seen given up collecting beautiful girls, Ling Qingyu was definitely pissed.

Cursing at the system for the injustice happening in the world, Ling Qingyu asked herself in suspicion. 'Wait, every woman related to me somehow became a member? How does that work?'

Now the two female guards lost their attraction when compared with other women inside this room. But if the outside world scored them, they could easily achieve an 8.

Even though Ling Qingyu was highly suspicious of this world where so many beauties were available, she took it for granted as it should be.

[You are his nominal wife. And according to the script, it would all start with you.]

'Damn!'

[Besides, you and this man had a marriage contract since childbirth made by the grandparents. These days, people call it—baby kiss.]

'…'

Ling Qingyu now doubted whether the male protagonist in this world was meant to be her enemy. Any information related to him rushed her blood to the brain. Now she had to divorce the main character.

Which characters had she seen doing well after breaking up in any novels? It appeared the will of the world was at work. Won't she suffer the same fate if she willfully canceled this contract?

[No, you won't. Have faith in your system? The will of this world will never ever be able to cause havoc to our previous plan. Of course, this system couldn't directly interfere despite the capability.]

[You should understand, everything should be achieved by yourself as much as possible without relying on this system.]

'I bother.' Ling Qingyu let out her breath and recollected her thoughts. When she looked again at her two guards, her fist clenched and her heart itched to beat the shit out of the protagonist.

She seemed familiar with Su Ruomei while the other merely rang a bell inside her mind a name—Jiang Yu. Anyway, it didn't matter as long as these beauties were related to her.

"It appears our President Ling had woken up," Su Ruomei said. "Good to see you well after all several news."

"Thank you," Ling Qingyu could only reply as such because she had no memory yet. What if she blew her cover? Think of the consequences her heart shuddered. None of the women this body was familiar with were easy to mess with.

Nobody thought she did anything wrong. The patient was important above all else here. Zhao Xiurong couldn't bear to conceal the news and looked at Ling Qingyu for permission.

Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes and helplessly nodded. Rumors spread across women faster. She wondered how long she could ask Zhao Xiurong to keep the secret and now the answer slapped her face.

Also, it might be because these new companions who just entered the room were indeed trustworthy. Studying their temperament, they were like what she thought initially, at least more than her previous life.

Zhao Xiurong explained why she had to keep this a secret and how the president had found any evidence that the accident was intentional. Calling them here was also for Ling Qingyu's security.

"What! Really?" Su Ruomei exclaimed and her reaction wasn't strange. "Gosh! Why is our President Ling being targeted? Even if the business world is cruel, anything should go within the boundary of the law. This is too lawless."

Ling Qingyu raised her eyebrows at her cute guard's innocence. Who made the law? Those in power; the answer was too obvious.

"Where do you find such evidence?" Another one called Jiang Yu asked.

Ling Qingyu's eyes turned toward her and pointed her finger at her head. "My memory. That man who crashed into my car wasn't the same as the one in shock or feeling guilty. He was stoic standing there watching me submerged in flames. Luckily, someone managed to save me as told by the nurses here."

She again pointed at Tang Ziyi who was focused on her laptop. The three's head was in her direction. "My friend also hacked into the surveillance system here and the CCTV wasn't working in that specific area on that day. Coincidence? I think not."

Su Ruomei's expression was amazed when she found out the beautiful woman working on the laptop had a godlike talent. As someone related to these fields, she understood how arduous was to break into this system.

This woman didn't seem like having any difficulties at all. It was as if her godly act was the usual eating and drinking.

"So, it's already proven. Then, do you know who's behind this?" Su Ruomei asked in expectation. Probably with hackers helping on their side, the investigation would be easier, wouldn't it? "And have you notified that to the police?"

"There's definitely some lead but she's still investigating," Ling Qingyu replied. "And I haven't informed the police yet. Nor have they come to inquire because I just woke up this morning."

"I see. So, we stay here the rest of the time?"

Ling Qingyu didn't answer but nodded her head in agreement and she requested Zhao Xiurong who was looking at her. "Sister Zhao, please take care of my company during my absence. Don't worry about worsening crisis; as long as the employees didn't panic, I can handle the rest. About the shareholders, just text me about them."

Zhao Xiurong nodded her head and Ling Qingyu told the three women to give her some privacy when she talked with two unknown yet capable women.

All of them moved near the entrance and discussed the situation while Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue after seeing clearance around Ling Qingyu, came over.

"Now that you have your protection, we can start some on-site investigation," Tang Ziyi said while Xiao Yue's reaction also approved of this plan. "Although I didn't discover the real planner, I found the identities of the group responsible for the action."

"Good! Who're they?" Ling Qingyu's face brightened.

"Related underground gangs operating in this province, presumably connected with some officials too to dare to act like this." Tang Ziyi added her opinions.

"By also entering their region, we can also try to find more who's behind the scene," Xiao Yue stated the real purpose.

"So, what's your plan?" Tang Ziyi asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Qingyu replied. "I don't care about my real enemy for now. Since they had done so, they obviously had thought of possible tracing and eliminated those risks before we even acted."

"Sister Tang, I want to ask about your abilities. Can you eliminate this part of the gangs without revealing ourselves with your expertise?"

Tang Ziyi said nothing but nodded imperceptibly, making Ling Qingyu relieved. "A gentleman will wait 10 years for revenge. But I don't want to wait. Not to mention I am a woman. I want Sister Tang to punish these culprits responsible for the assassination."

Xiao Yue cut in: "Have you thought about the consequences after doing this? I'm not worried about yours but your employees in the company, who're vulnerable to attacks."

Ling Qingyu paused for a moment. "Yep, this had to be the best method. The only way is to eliminate them completely. Whether I do this or not, my employees still have to face these threats. Uprooting it will be the only way now that you mention this."

Xiao Yue said nothing but her eyes showed a hint of approval. Perhaps before Ling Qingyu only planned to act on the real culprit. However, no matter what treating these desperadoes in a gentlemanly fashion, Ling Qingyu's group could suffer losses even if there weren't proof. A preemptive strike was the solution here.

Since this was to be the case, Ling Qingyu decided to be ruthless. Eliminating these gangs was also contributing to the peace of the community. When no one solved these issues, let her be the first to do so. As for the hidden boss, someday she would...Oh…she would never forget to avenge this body's original owner.

"Do you want to kill them all? I mean that could make a lot of mess in the public. And you might attract the government's attention." Tang Ziyi expressed concerns.

"Nope, just kill those who were really responsible and try to snitch out the news from them before you kill them." Ling Qingyu's eyes were cold as she spoke. "As for the rest, since no one is a good person, abolish them from harming society."

Xiao Yue liked this idea and looked at Tang Ziyi because it was her specialty. Tang Ziyi already knew the mission and its requirements. She packed all her things and went out followed by Xiao Yue after the two gestured at Ling Qingyu.

[A/N: I'm still conflicted about changing my book title because I noticed it appears too long. I don't know...I'm confused.

Shortening seems a better choice. Sigh...
