Chapter 628 Another month
Owing to so many affairs piling up, Ling Qingyu struggled to organize despite Athena's input. Naturally, it could have been resolved quickly, but Ling Qingyu did so deliberately to enhance her own skills.
A month passed swiftly. The day to leave Country C for Country A was approaching faster than ever. She had promised Doctor Mo to accompany her when she departed the country for higher education.
In truth, Ling Qingyu couldn't fathom what Mo Yunxi was studying. She was already a specialized doctor. Did she want to expand her field of expertise? Perhaps Mo Yunxi had persuaded Nurse Yin to join her journey; the head nurse had begun to carefully consider her future.
Her younger brother and sister in the capital were now free and safe—her hard work had paid off. The other issues involving troublesome individuals were resolved effortlessly by Gu Yi at Ling Qingyu's request a few months ago.
Now that her mother-in-law had met Nurse Yin last month, she was happy to help. It hadn't cost her much effort. Of course, the real reason Nurse Yin felt relieved enough to pursue further studies was her another sister, who was interning at Ling Qingyu's company.
Previously, her sister couldn't earn much and she had been the family's last line of defense. When Ling Qingyu promoted the younger sister to a secure and higher position based on her merits, the young woman began earning enough to support the family, just like her elder sister.
What angered Ling Qingyu the most was that Tang Ziyi still hadn't returned after meeting General Tang. She and Xiao Yue had disappeared for a whole month with no explanation other than a perfunctory notification that they would need some time to deal with an important matter—after taking a few million yuan from her pocket.

Who knew that "some time" would mean a month? The discussions with General Tang had revealed benefits and responsibilities she could accept. Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue had negotiated well, and perhaps Gu Yi's influence had ensured that General Tang didn't demand much, apart from literal assistance during emergencies.
Intelligence sharing wasn't an issue. Even though Ling Qingyu hardly had operatives working for her, Athena filled the gap. The powerful intelligence and data-gathering capabilities Athena provided were like godlike talents or an elite organization in the eyes of outsiders who were subtly aware of Ling Qingyu's network.
In fact, data compilation and analysis to draw conclusions was an incredibly powerful tool, often overlooked due to the absurd amount of time it took humans to complete. In her past world, the hunt for Osama Bin Laden had relied heavily on this method.@@@@
In movies and public perception, intelligence was believed to have been obtained through torture and advanced interrogation techniques. The CIA had deliberately spread this narrative to deflect attention. In reality, the breakthrough came through data collection and repeated iterations of analysis.
Athena could cut this time down exponentially within a minuscule minute, consuming only energy while producing estimations far more accurate than those crafted by human agents during the Bin Laden hunt.
Viewed in this light, Athena's existence was invaluable to Ling Qingyu's goals. No helper, past or future, could surpass her daughter.
Xiao Yue and Tang Ziyi had spent significant time after meeting General Tang, likely experiencing some adventurous encounters. The two tyrants had yet to request assistance, but Ling Qingyu suspected they were up to something. Damn it—would news of chaos erupt in Province T soon?
Fortunately, she didn't need to worry too much with Athena always ready to assist. Perhaps her daughter already knew the details, but Ling Qingyu wouldn't ask. Knowing too much would make life boring. A little surprise wouldn't hurt.
"Stop! Or we will shoot!"
"Stay away from the man."
At first glance, it appeared as though a ruthless criminal was torturing a helpless victim. The man lay on the ground, coughing up blood intermittently. Although his face was turned away from the Spirit Fox operators, the girls could already envision the brutality inflicted on him by the gang leader.
In the presence of the menacing, well-equipped, medieval-knight-like operators, the gang leader sneered and laughed, collapsing onto the ground.
To others, the Spirit Fox operators appeared monstrous, exuding strong killing intent from their very figures. From head to toe, they were completely covered, even their eyes—the window to the soul—shielded by ballistic visors under their helmets.
Other members of the gang were present, some injured and others lying silently on the ground. While most of them trembled under the imposing presence of Spirit Fox, the gang leader merely shrugged and sighed regretfully, glancing at his victim as if lamenting he hadn't done enough damage.
The Spirit Fox team leader narrowed her eyes, wondering if a turf war had broken out here—or if something deeper was at play. Everyone present bore injuries to some extent, and a few required urgent medical attention.
For the Spirit Fox operators, however, no emotions surfaced. Criminals didn't deserve care or mercy in their eyes. The fact that Spirit Fox announced their presence instead of opening fire immediately was a gift in itself.
After dealing with countless gangsters and organizations, each more despicable than the last, the team leader gestured and called out, "Arrest 'em."
"Roger."
Operating as a cohesive unit and likely itching for an excuse to use force, the operators zip-tied everyone on the ground.
The team leader and her battle buddy approached the gang leader with their muzzles trained on him. The gang leader was slightly surprised to see these operators fearlessly closing in on him.
Did they trust their weapons and teamwork that much? After all, his imposing stature had always scared people on first impression. It was unavoidable—his tall, massive frame instilled psychological fear in most.
Yet, the two operators seemed unfazed by his size. They paused momentarily, taken aback by his wrestling-champion-like physique, but only for a fraction of a second.
To them, size didn't matter apart from instinctive reaction of caution. Their ridiculous amount of training and devilish suffering under Instructor Tang's hands had toughened them up.
Plus, every operator now practiced the secret sutra, solidifying the bone density and muscle as the operators improved. They might not seem bulky but they were far stronger than them in terms of capability and body functions such as physiques, endurance, agility, stamina and strength.
Super soldiers against wrestlers...Come on, even baby knew the answer. Removing the super already deemed the same result.
