While Yang Qingyue's awkwardness was slowly going away, under Ling Qingyu's soft bullets. She had no idea her childhood friend was feeling resentful of breaking promises.
Anyone experiencing love was never reliable, Cai Ning thought. Women were the same, especially the ones who easily made promises and looked very serious.
Thinking of the possible closeness between Ling Qingyu and Yang Qingyue, Cai Ning became envious. Well, why was she envious though? Because someone robbed away her Little Sister Yang?
The way Cai Ning stared at Ling Qingyu was like looking at a big bad wolf. Woof! Somehow, Cai Ning heard a specific sound of a cartoon, she watched during her childhood and shook her head in amusement.
Ling Qingyu's spine straightened, her intuition told her somebody was thinking bad about her from around. No need to guess around, who else but among this group of women who might be against her apart from Cai Ning.
Although she had no clues on what Cai Ning's inner thoughts were, Ling Qingyu wasn't too worried and ignored this policewoman—no threat.
According to Athena's report, Cai Ning worked in an intelligence service—MSS—most feared and renowned for the sharp blades of the head of state. Despite being unwritten on the paper about her past work, Ling Qingyu understood Cai Ning didn't have an easy life.
Yang Qingyue's pressure to keep Cai Ning around by all means already proved everything. It was also good for Cai Ning to accompany Yang Qingyue based on her experience, especially the table battle between politicians.
If Cai Ning's ability was used well, Ling Qingyu calculated the probability of the plans she shelved in her heart for success. Cai Ning was also another viable general.
Cai Ning's attention on Yang Qingyue's relationship didn't last long when multiple bangs coming from underneath attracted most of hers. In contrast to Yang Qingyue, Cai Ning cursed because, throughout her career, she had never seen any of the nation's special forces she had known trained like Ling Qingyu's guards.
Her similar reaction to Ling Qingyu amused Tang Ziyi, who shook her head and smiled. She didn't bother to explain the seemingly dangerous bullets flying around were not threatening.
Some secrets, it was better not to talk about. Both Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning might have some suspicions but they weren't willing to ask because everyone had something to hide.
If people were read by others like a transparent sheet of paper, no one would feel good. It was for this reason that many people didn't like to associate with people who could read their minds.
Actually, the past and present Ling Qingyu had this ability. She could speculate several possibilities within a snap of a finger based on the variables displayed by others.
"Yeah, that's the exact answer I come to after careful consideration." Yang Qingyue replied. "Try it out first and solve problems in the process. Thinking too much is never a good thing."
Ling Qingyu's right arm reached over Yang Qingyue's back while the other hand searched to grasp Yang Qingyue's fingers. "En...As it should. You know you've touched what many desired. You must take responsibility."
Yang Qingyue's face darkened at Ling Qingyu's shamelessness. What responsibility? It seemed she wasn't the aggressor. She was defending herself! Yang Qingyue swatted away Ling Qingyu's palm and scolded. "Pay attention to your surroundings.
There are still sisters around us. Don't embarrass yourself."
"So, you meant if we're alone, this is fine." Ling Qingyu remained cheeky and didn't mind Yang Qingyue's rejection. "Besides, I don't mind if someone sees me. There's only Tang Ziyi, Su Ruomei and Cai Ning. I'll do the same thing in public too. It's better so that other men will know you belong to me."
Of course, Ling Qingyu would avoid this behavior in public spaces when her strength wasn't enough. Laying low before announcing oneself was the kingly method.
Yang Qingyue's lips twitched. She was unsure whether Ling Qingyu's words were serious and decided to change topics. "Are the armor trucks that I requested ready?"
"Of course. I'll ask my subordinates to drive them over." Ling Qingyu quickly became serious when the topic was related to important business, despite fully aware Yang Qingyue was trying to divert attention.
While both of them were whispering like lovebirds, the rest of the women had their attention on the training below. Su Ruomei had her face filled with pride and joy because those guards were her comrades, most of whom she knew from the military.
She was delighted to see their skills improved and the living conditions of the younger sisters getting better. After all, as the eldest sister from the military in Ling Qingyu's group, she must take care of all the girls.
Tang Ziyi's expression didn't change much. No one knew what she was thinking. Cai Ning tapped her chin, coming up with persuasive words so that Ling Qingyu could provide training to the officers.
Then, she felt it was impossible. Police work and military work were never the same. In terms of firefights and tactics, Ling Qingyu's guards could handle it impeccably. If real police work came into the equation, they were likely to be paralyzed too.
The status quo seemed better, Ling Qingyu's subordinates solely serving as anti-violence personnel. After the exercise ended, Ling Qingyu's group still hadn't dispersed.
Su Ruomei sighed and looked troubled. Ling Qingyu noticed her expression and quickly asked.
