"Good name!" Although the driver didn't know the trauma Tang Ziyi was going through, she believed Aegis was a suitable name for the vehicle. "But I feel the specs are placed too high in the spectrum. How do you buy these vehicles?"
The driver's question resonated with the other 9 female guards sitting in the back and listening to the conversation. Their ears raised.
"Of course, we manufacture these two, ourselves." Tang Ziyi replied proudly, patting her chest.
The girls were awestruck. The driver controlled her urge to smash the brake of the vehicle and tried her best to keep moving smoothly. "You're serious, Instructor Tang?"
Since the day they underwent training under Tang Ziyi's supervision, the female guards willingly called her, Instructor Tang. It was both a love and hate relationship.
A horrendous method of exercising them but it also made them appreciate Tang Ziyi as they could notice the obvious improvement.
Apart from Jiang Yu and Su Ruomei who had a better relationship and treated her as an elder sister. The rest had huge respect and fear of Tang Ziyi.
To the driver's astonishment, Tang Ziyi answered simply. "I also take part in a development process. Similar to the black light armor clothing pieces, you're wearing, the same can be said to Aegis."
Tang Ziyi quickly forgot about Athena's naming and accepted Aegis as the truck's designation.
"So, that means this armored truck also belongs to our group, solely." A voice asked from behind.
"En," Tang Ziyi muttered in agreement. "The clothing and the vehicle come from the same source. Don't you feel lucky to witness the miracle coming from our President Ling?"
The guards nodded their heads at Tang Ziyi's remarks. Ling Qingyu wasn't simple in their eyes, able to manufacture these sophisticated technologies secretly and even deliver weapons to them.
Should they know the weapons were manufactured similarly, their eyes would pop out from the sockets. A private firm was able to produce and manufacture weapons and armor systems, without problems which some nations had to struggle with.
The level had reached an unprecedented state for a young woman whose success in business area also showed her edges in military technologies.
Even though none of the girls here was tech savvy, they concluded from the specifications Tang Ziyi listed out, that Aegis was a superior armored vehicle, invincible among its counterpart, despite its lack of actual combat.
Understanding Ling Qingyu had access to military technologies increased confidence within her subordinates and that was what Tang Ziyi aimed for.
Tang Ziyi painted Ling Qingyu as mysterious and powerful, hidden from the public eye.
Why they are the same human and this happened? And why humans exploit and endanger another human being? Were humans originally sinful? But could a baby's expression and innocence confirm the prior conjecture?
No one was born with equal status and opportunities but they should have an equal right and dignity, along with a road available for everyone to rise up for a better life and prove themselves to the world.
Just because your father has a bigger background, a woman like me should submit and bow to you and I should be honored because of being chosen, Wang Xiuying couldn't understand her torture and trauma.
Although her heart felt relieved that Mu Xiaoqian and Sun Qiqi escaped the disaster as they were like her two little sisters, Wang Xiuying couldn't vanquish a raging flame inside of her body.
Despite Ling Qingyu's promise to return justice for her, Wang Xiuying didn't believe it fully because no sane businessperson was willing to go through all the hardships just for a mere three unknown strangers.
She wouldn't be angry or blame Ling Qingyu if the promise was annulled. But she was proven wrong. Her prior prejudgment didn't apply to Ling Qingyu.
She had no idea why Ling Qingyu was willing to go to such lengths for them. Maybe her two sisters didn't understand the situation of the current City N!
Wang Xiuying had watched the news and read several posts on the internet. The moment she saw someone stating the police chief was arrested and his son was soon to be apprehended by the police, her heart melted and tears dripped across her cheek.
Justice may be late but it would never disappear. Still, she didn't believe in karma or retribution. If there were, why did she suffer horrifying treatments when she did nothing wrong?
It was the men and women who were willing to die for the equality and justice that those who did evil were punished. Especially the moment, a chaotic gunfire video between the police and the gang was uploaded, her heart hurt.
Why did they have to suffer? She now understood why some people relinquished from helping others, because it was more like a self-protective mechanism.
Looking at the current chaos around City N, Wang Xiuying saw what happened because Ling Qingyu and her friends did justice for her. And naturally, she realized Ling Qingyu must have her own benefits but action spoke louder than words.
Ling Qingyu appeared more like a saint compared to those politicians. She guessed accurately inside these two large military trucks were the female guards whom she made friends with recently.
Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue who rescued her from hell might be inside too. Since that day, she also knew Ling Qingyu's group wasn't simple. Her eyes remained on the two armored vehicles as they departed from the residential area until the black spots disappeared from her sight.
She sighed and sincerely wished for their safety as well as hoping her friends would return joyfully and intact without any dangers. She also prayed for the men and women who willingly shed their skins and bled for many unknown poor people whose only hope lay in their hands.
Inside the two Aegis.
Tang Ziyi's group seemed to have sensed something and looked toward their manor. Everyone shook away the feelings and concentrated on their equipment.
Tang Ziyi glanced back from her side mirror in deep thought. She knew the source was coming from the manor but she didn't understand the reason. Never mind, as she thought and gazed at her members who would be becoming her comrades in the coming future.
