Chapter 129: Politics at stakes



Meanwhile, Spirit Beauty & Clothing Co.Ltd..

"Why are you exclaiming out of nowhere!" Tang Ziyi frowned and glared at Ling Qingyu. The culprit who nearly damaged her hearing abilities.

Tang Ziyi rubbed her ears to alleviate a minor pain. Ling Qingyu coughed to dissipate her embarrassment.

Her behaviors seemed no different from a child and she lost control of herself. "It's Athena's message that surprises me."

"What could flabbergast our Boss?" Tang Ziyi was curious.

"Athena, tell your Aunt about what you told me." Ling Qingyu let Athena explain what she heard before.

While Tang Ziyi, who also wore the same spectacles, listened to Athena, Ling Qingyu discovered her expression also showed signs of being dumbfounded.

She smirked at her from the sideline, thinking—wasn't it the same behavior? Well, Tang Ziyi could hide more and possessed a high psychological tolerance.

Her eyes turned toward the television and a breaking news came. Was it about the gunshots and chaos?

But no. Perhaps because the undercurrent of the power struggle received too much attention or the authorities themselves were making a move, this topic had entered even the breaking news session.

Ling Qingyu turned on the audio, trying to listen to their words. The female announcer's words didn't contain any useful information other than summarizing what the public thought.

But these public ideas mostly originated from the posts which were uploaded on purpose against Yang Qingyue.

She stood up from her seat and sat down on the sofa, near the television, close to Tang Ziyi, who was immersed in her world with Athena at the moment.

Her eyes and ears remaining glued to the television screen, Ling Qingyu filled a cup of water from a water jug made of glass and sipped a few to quench her thirst.

Her excitement from the heightening tension in the city made Ling Qingyue feel thirsty.

"So, viewers, that's all the information we collected so far. Let's see what the expert we invited has in his opinion. Welcome, Mr. Qing, Thank you for being with us. Can you give your views on what's happening at the moment? Why are all the senior officers of a police station in City N apprehended?"

The camera screen turned to a middle-aged man sitting on the pod similar to the announcer, indicating they were in the same room.

Perhaps, he knew but who cared? As long as he was paid to wash the black away, he would without hesitation.

For them, it appeared the poor women and some men who suffered from the exploitation didn't deserve any looks or sympathy.

The world always had dark sides, most people selectively ignored or weren't aware of. Ling Qingyu closed her eyes, for a few seconds, contemplating, in the future, the public must have knowledge of these similar events.

Controlling her emotion, Ling Qingyue continued listening to the news: "His goal has been to serve the people. I knew some people might whine against this but remember he achieved this difficult balance. Anyone can understand the intricacies of our Province. I think he did a very good job."

"You haven't answered the main question. What are the consequences of this arrest?"

"Chaos. Absolute chaos. The balance has been broken." The expert expressed rebuttal and anger. "Our City N and the nearby area might soon be in danger. What the older generation tried hard to achieve peace and balance would soon be broken by these younger generations. I think we'll be seeing a more dangerous and appalling rise in crimes in the near future."

So that was the case, Ling Qingyu now clearly comprehended their goals. It was simply to direct the responsibilities for the ensuing chaos to Yang Qingyue's action.

The ordinary people would meekly attribute the reasons for the impending crisis, which destroyed their lifestyles, to Yang Qingyue and her fellow officers.

By doing so, they solved two problems: one, the senior officers could return after whitewashing themselves; two, they could remove unstable factors among the force, who disagreed with their actions.

But didn't they realize their chaotic levels, involving gunfights and more gang involvement might attract more eyes from the central government, prompting them to a harsher response?

Ling Qingyu tapped her chin and her eyes narrowed. Her head rose up and down slowly. She saw through their moves.

She muttered and chuckled: "So, that is the case."

It seemed Ling Qingyu had to participate in this mess. Otherwise, her poor comrade might suffer at the hands of these old foxes.

In order to protect her own business and for her own personal interest, she must support Yang Qingyue. Not to mention, she was already keen on helping Yang Qingyue since the beginning.

Since Yang Qingyue's opponents dared to go unrestricted, how could Ling Qingyu not provide further support?

Unlike Yang Qingyue, she also dared to go unrestricted, without any further consideration or limitations of some factors.

The only question dangled inside her mind. How on earth was she supposed to help?
