Tang Ziyi put her hands on her waist, staring at the two girls who glanced innocently at her, and sighed heavily. Even with superb tactics and fire suppression, the gang landed shots at her two girls.
She lamented whether these two girls' luck was so low. Su Ruomei, on the other hand, studied their body thoroughly and asked frequently for their well-being, until stopped by Jiang Yu for her overreaction.
At least, their clothes had proven they could easily withstand pistol rounds as promised by Tang Ziyi. For higher caliber, despite Tang Ziyi's test results, no one was certain.
Because, being able to resist didn't mean no damage to the body. If a stronger bullet was stopped, its momentum still would travel through a medium and bring damage.
Whether human bodies inside these clothes sustain no damages remained unseen. Tang Ziyi also didn't know for sure but she trusted Athena's simulation results.
However, the rest of the girls surged in confidence, after understanding they were well-protected. Now if their groups declared they were the second safest and most protected mercenary squad, no one dared to rank first.
After the fright for their comrades' body state dissipated, someone mentioned the topic of deadchecking and Tang Ziyi was stunned.
Of course, she wasn't dumb or outdated enough not to understand what deadchecking meant according to her subordinates' voices.
Although she couldn't see everyone's face clearly, she sensed their facial expressions twitching and collectively looking at the culprit, who was obviously gazing at heaven.
"Come now, no one is blaming you, as long as it isn't recorded." Tang Ziyi said after a pause. She didn't blame her cute subordinate's action. Instead, she supported such acts, prioritizing the team's security above all else.
Finally, Tang Ziyi concluded the debrief, stating it would sometimes be better for them to volunteer instead of having a commander to relay orders always. Regarding this issue, Su Ruomei showed helplessness.
The military training in Country C focused on obeying orders from the superiors and the doctrine was too stiff. That was the reason, Tang Ziyi encouraged her subordinates instead of chiding them.
Su Ruomei completely comprehended Tang Ziyi's words and had to explain to the others who exhibited confusion.
Despite Tang Ziyi declaring red in front of Ling Qingyu, she always preferred doctrines from the other side, with a reason.
Frankly, when Ling Qingyu wanted to mention corruption, boiling in her country's system, Tang Ziyi nearly lashed out with her arguments but controlled herself so as not to waste time.
Yes, petty corruption was more common but elite corruption always existed, no matter which system. The West even had a legal basis to cut off the fund money into their pockets.
As long as there were humans, corruption couldn't stop. Greed was the inherent evil factor, usually exploited when rights came into their fingers.
Yang Qingyue chuckled at her remarks. Surely, because of the public opinion warfare waged between Ling Qingyue and her opponents, her name should be well-known among the public.
"Not me though," Cai Ning raised her hands.
"Well, we're not introducing ourselves yet for now. Once we reach our area, we'll say it to you." Tang Ziyi said. "So, everything's okay on your part?"
"Yep. Everything has been accounted for. Someone will take care of the rest. Besides, I'm sure if something happens, you'll easily patch me through to work out the situation." Yang Qingyue meant Tang Ziyi's hacking ability.
Yang Qingyue added: "And the district police stations are taking care of the aftermath. I'm sure no one dares to cross us at the moment."
"How about you visit our place? There are many stuff to talk about and work out." Tang Ziyi invited.
The rest watched as Tang Ziyi spoke with the two police officials. Only, Su Ruomei understood what Tang Ziyi was up to but in terms of politics and relationship, it wasn't wrong to say her eyes were blind.
After hearing Tang Ziyi's words, Yang Qingyue glanced at Cai Ning for an answer. Seeing her friend give her an imperceptible nod, Yang Qingyue agreed to Tang Ziyi's invitation.
"Good idea, but I must go and see my subordinates in the hospital first. I'll tack along with you afterward." Yang Qingyue told her plan.
"It's alright. We can wait but are you driving by yourselves?" Tang Ziyi asked.
"Well, we can't fly right." Yang Qingyue replied sarcastically while Cai Ning was in deep thought, hearing Tang Ziyi's inquiry—it must be by no means wasting time asking this question.
"Why do you ask though?" Cai Ning's question attracted Tang Ziyi's affirmation. This woman wasn't simple and she must check her out, Tang Ziyi thought to herself.
"In relation to the police chief's action and the current volatile circumstances, I advised against your movement. Something could happen anytime." Tang Ziyi gave a warning.
Cai Ning narrowed her eyes. Yang Qingyue was awestruck and realized her situation was indeed precarious. Even though she won, it was only if she was alive.
A feud between life and death had formed. There wasn't any impossibility to reach out to assassination. Tang Ziyi's reminder was very timely.
Cai Ning appreciated the mysterious woman's thoughtfulness and asked: "So, what's the plan then."
"Simple, we can escort you inside one of our vehicles." Tang Ziyi patted the metallic wall of Aegis and grinned. "I'm sure, you also want to investigate this beast. Two birds one stone."
