The three old n's faces weren't good. All options on the table were extinguished by Yang Qingyue's move.
They grasped the teacup and drank all of it, not savoring the exquisite taste inside the content.
"I think we have an agreent," the mayor said after seeing the scenario had cald down. His entire back was wet with cold sweat.
Yang Qingyue gestured with her head aning it depended on the commissioner and the judge.
They were in a dilemma. On the one side, Yang Qingyue wanted to harm their relatives. On the other side, their position remained no longer safe and their future career path seed under the control of Yang Qingyue.
Although the clever policewoman gave them a handle in exchange, for the promotion of her rank and authority, they knew for a fact that Yang Qingyue could achieve these in a matter of ti.
The only puzzle in their eyes was why Yang Qingyue seed very keen and anxious. In the end, they reckoned it might be the reform she intended to implent in the city.
Seeing the other two still in contemplation, the mayor with a curious pair of eyes looked at Cai Ning. "Miss Yang, may I know who this colleague of yours is?"
"Of course, I didn't an to hide her. She used to be my fellow officers back in the rookie days. Now she works under MSS." Yang Qingyue introduced her friend according to her plan at the beginning.
"MSS!" The commissioner and the judge broke their thoughts after hearing Yang Qingyue's words.
The mayor was confused for a mont before he realized Cai Ning's identity. The three of them had fear in their expressions, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Did they just threaten the child of the officials in the Capital, right in front of MSS? Wasn't it placing their heads in front of the barrel?
They were clearly seeking death. If MSS got involved, there could be no retreat in their career.
Do as Yang Qingyue says and the status quo remains. Or, resist and prepare to be surely liquidated afterward.
The law enforcent system in Country C had three separate branches working together for national security.
Ministry of Public Security functioned as all dostic police activity in the country. Ministry of Justice oversaw the prison operations and had prison police serving under it.
MSS—Ministry of State Security—was the security and secret police agency, enforcing political security and served as the principal civilian intelligence and counterintelligence, both dostic and foreign.
MSS had the legal right to kill without impunity if the well-being of the high officials from the capital were threatened. That ant their previous act against Yang Qingyue also followed under this condition.
This was the reason why the three n suddenly regretted it. Now, they understood why Yang Qingyue had confidence.
The agency worked to suppress dissidents and served directly under the minister and the president.
Was that supposed to relay the ssage that the head of state was watching their moves?
Had the current situation in Province N got the attention of the central governnt and political reshuffling was on the way?
"I apologize, Miss Yang, for harming you with our jokes." The commissioner spoke. "You see the condition of Province N required an iron fist and steadfast leader in the police agency. It was a test to see your character."
"Yes, it was a test. High threats and dangers exist everywhere in this province." The judge added hurriedly.
"So, did I pass the test, flawlessly gentlen?" Yang Qingyue sat down back in her chair and asked, amused.
"Of course. We're relieved to see my city's security under your leadership." The mayor said with a broken smile.
Yang Qingyue gave Cai Ning a sly glance. See problems solved with your identity.
Cai Ning rolled her eyes. She had the resources and power to help Yang Qingyue but they would never overstep since MSS wasn't really involved.
Except for her authorized role to protect Yang Qingyue from danger, which ant she could take action under the guise of MSS, Yang Qingyue could only walk on her own.
Officer Yang wasn't satisfied with the mayor's promise. She needed the other two to bow their head under her condition. "How about the commissioner and the judge? What do you think of the deal?"
The two n glanced at each other and swallowed their complaints. It was definitely uncomfortable to be led around.
"I'll promote your rank to the supervisor 3rd class, having an authority of supervisor 1st class. You'll be an acting police chief of City N."
"I'll accept your warrant request, permitting your arrest to have an imdiate effect by tomorrow."
Noting the two had given up resistance, Yang Qingyue didn't press hard. She said: "I won't care about your past for now but don't let get another handle. We have a deal and we'll stay this way. But I hope you try to avoid breaking laws because I won't give you face by that ti."
The two parties ca to an agreent. No matter how close one had a relationship with another, people wanted to survive. The trios before Yang Qingyue only saved their official political career.
They relinquished their chess pieces and maintained their position. Yang Qingyue wasn't worried about them giving her stumbling blocks.
In fact, the three were in trouble, losing trust among their subordinates. Who would even give their loyalty to soone who could even surrender their relatives during a crisis?
Their inability to protect their subordinates would soon dwell in the other's minds and give their political opponents the opportunity to step in.
Yang Qingyue devised a vicious plan and the three understood their situation well. But opposing her ant an imdiate crisis. Following her words, they could live long and struggle ahead.
As for whether they could grasp their chances, nobody thought deeply.
After eating light als and enjoying the tea, the three n left. Yang Qingyue chuckled and mocked herself inwardly.
At last, she was no different from Ling Qingyu. Cai Ning patted her friend's arm in understanding. "Rember right and wrong don't apply here. As long as your justice stands strong in your heart, you are still you."
"Thank you, Sister Ning." Yang Qingyue grasped Cai Ning's palm hard.
"But are you sure of letting them go? You know they can harm you in this Province." Cai Ning showed worries. After all, the networks in Province N from her observation were weaved intricately.
"Even though I can't give justice to those who suffered under their action. Give ti, I'll prove it to the entire province—Justice may be late but it will never disappear." Yang Qingyue replied with a shaking head. "They must be set free for a while before their power dissipates to prevent them from jumping over the wall. Now that I'm weak, I must know my own affairs."
Cai Ning sighed in relief, satisfied her friend had strong self-control: "How about your security? Dangers might pop out from anywhere."
Yang Qingyue gave a mysterious smirk: "Don't I Have you?"
Cai Ning's corner of the mouth trembled and laughed. "You slick girl. Do you want to work hard for you? Thinking too much!"
"Don't worry. You'll be working under soon. If you don't quit yourself, you'll be relieved of your duty. Who made have a powerful mother?" Yang Qingyue patted her chest with pride.
Cai Ning's eyelids twitched after hearing Yang Qingyue ntion her mother. "Damn, Yang Qingyue. I'll kill you."
Cai Ning stepped out of her chair and lunged over her friend, launching a killer move—tickling Yang Qingyue's waist.
"Dare you to move ! HUh!"
"Haha…No, stop Sister Ning. I beg you. Oh my!" Yang Qingyue slithered her waist and laughed uncontrollably.
Under the rush of pouring rain, beautiful chis of laughter erupted inside the bungalow, drawing smiles from the waitresses who heard the commotion.
Young is good.
Only if they didn't know the two bantering ladies went through a life and death situation tonight.
