Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning couldn't even speak before they hopped onto the cute EV with Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi.
Perhaps this time Tang Ziyi was exhausted, she didn't even bother to quarrel with her about who had the wheels.
Ling Qingyu drove and heard Yang Qingyue's voice. "Filthy rich. Having this large area of land and buildings. You've done well at your age."
"Com'on. It's not like with your background, your family didn't own it." Ling Qingyu retorted. She understood Yang Qingyue's words meant to compliment her deeds.
"That's family, not a single person. And in the capital, it's very hard for my family to buy like yours." Yang Qingyue replied.
Ling Qingyu agreed with the latter part of the officer's sentence. Her grand size of residence should cost at least thrice as much in the capital.
Not mentioning, rarer availability of land, eligible to be bought. More background checks and strict monitoring were presumed to occur after buying the size she bought in Province N.
These officials smelled money and would soon hover around like wolves seeing meat. Without a strong background in the officialdom, it was better to stay away and live instead in a small villa.
"By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you on your promotion. Should I call you Chief Yang, now?" Ling Qingyu said with genuine praise.
"Call me Miss Yang. We're not having an official conversation."
"Oohh," Ling Qingyu sighed and moaned. "I thought I could call Sister Yang."
Tang Ziyi clicked her tongue and didn't bother Ling Qingyu's behavior. Speaking of, it appeared she controlled Ling Qingyu's movement too much.
It's time to let go and enjoy life. It was just her adorable change in expression when Tang Ziyi prohibited that she fancied, watching.
The group entered the manor, under the awestruck eyes of Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning. At least, that moment was always what satisfied Ling Qingyu's self-esteem.
Ling Qingyu quickly ordered Butler Lin to prepare for a meal again, including those for Su Ruomei, Jiang Yu and the rest of the group.
Dining hall.
Signaling Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning to take a seat, Ling Qingyu also decided on a snack—french fries.
Tang Ziyi, as always, took over the seat unscrupulously. Only in front of Denise or her mother, Tang Ziyi's behavior could be fixed.
Ling Qingyu lamented Tang Ziyi's existence was really to raise her blood pressure. Though impolite to chat during the meals, Ling Qingyu started the topic since the maids hadn't delivered yet.
Initially, Yang Qingyue thought these girls were merely for Ling Qingyu's chess moves. Now, to go to the extent, of protecting the victims personally, Ling Qingyu must also possess a strong sense of justice like hers.
Cai Ning also softened her eyes as she gazed at Ling Qingyu, who was willing to go through fire and storm, not afraid of offending powerful forces after deciding to protect the girls.
Even if there were agendas behind it, Ling Qingyu's behavior received affirmations.
Ling Qingyu continued: "Hmm, I almost forgot, Miss Yang. You know the three girls; would they have to show up on court? Regarding the law, I'm worried it will be difficult to achieve justice."
Yang Qingyue waved her hand. "Please don't worry. I'll have a talk with them later and videotape their words as evidence. In the meantime, I beg Miss Ling to protect these girls and hope will do the same for others if I face a situation."
Ling Qingyu nodded without wobbling around. "Of course. If you encounter any important witness, you can request help from me for protection."
Yang Qingyue smiled and mouthed her gratitude: "Then, I'll have to thank you a lot for Province N's law and order. Oh, by the way, since the capital's focus would press on the Province N soon, you need not worry the three girls wouldn't have justice."
"I reckon if you tell them yourself, it's more assuring. Well, I know it's embarrassing but I'm gonna take over one of your suspect's company; I might be exploiting the situation here. I'm just saying in advance. If there's any dereliction, I'll inform you first." Lingyu smiled cheekily.
Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning twitched their eyelids. Good girl. Hadn't finished complimenting for long before you showed your tails, both complained.
They understood what Ling Qingyu meant by exploiting. The usual business tactics taking advantage of the current situation.
They really hoped Ling Qingyu's deal wouldn't cut their skins off during this visit.
The maids' entrance dissipated the work energy and everyone on the table prepared to eat.
No need to be surprised. Tang Ziyi gobbled up everything before her, making others wonder if she chewed the food carefully.
Ling Qingyu didn't think much of Tang Ziyi's hurried behavior, who spent a huge amount of calories during the mission. The adrenaline and brainpower consumed a lot.
Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning also ate rapidly. But their movements still retained elegance. They were also hungry after using so much of their brainpower facing so many troubles in the station.
Watching them eat, Ling Qingyu also scooped a little each time. Except for Tang Ziyi, the others were preparing for a talk, planning pieces inside their mind.
Ling Qingyu presumed Yang Qingyue had the decision-making power among the two policewomen. Not to mention, she was now an acting chief.
However, Cai Ning's presence mustn't be underestimated. From the strict demeanor exhibited by Cai Ning and her high suspicions on strangers, Ling Qingyu assumed this one also had controls like veto powers.
Whatever decision Yang Qingyue made could be overturned by her with one word. Although she didn't seem like someone who always interfered, Yang Qingyue wanted her friend's approval.
Ling Qingyu nudged her forehead. Even though she had confidence things might work out well as she expected, she still had to persuade both policewomen.
