"Although it's unbelievable, you really gotta have a capable team behind to be able to stand out in several fields." Assistant Su comnted. "Even your clothing brands will strike hard in the minds of elites."
"Those who have more are fearful of death," Ling Qingyu agreed.
"So, are these your supports to face Yang's family?" Gu Yi asked.
"Exactly, Aunt Gu. I hope that they don't know my potential yet. I don't like being the weak on the table. It's better for us to be hidden until I'm invincible but who knows you just ca." Ling Qingyu replied helplessly.
Assistant Su and Gu Yi laughed and also thought fate was unpredictable. Though they figured sothing in the two's relationship, they never thought the girls were in love.
"And I'm sure, if according to the plan, when they discover our status, they would even sell Yang Qingyue for benefits." Ling Qingyu added.
Assistant Su covered her lips and looked at Ling Qingyu in shock. She didn't expect this girl dared to say selling daughter in front of Gu Yi.
Gu Yi chuckled and didn't say much, accepting Ling Qingyu's statent. She knew fully well, what was inside the head of the so-called elders in Yang family.
"Oh, don't think of as bribing but I have prepared a gift for you two. A complete set of bulletproof clothes," said Ling Qingyu.
"Well, that…" Assistant Su looked back at her boss for help. She wanted to accept but a bribe in front of the Minister of Justice was more than stupid.
Gu Yi asked. "You are not bribing us, are you?"
"Of course, not, Aunt Gu. I'm worried about you two, getting hurt here. Province N is dangerous. So, it's better for you to wear them." Ling Qingyu returned a plausible reason.
"When you tell us about danger, why don't I see any Spirit Fox operators?" Assistant Su asked.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about any risk. I can assure you the car we are riding has already surpassed the Head of State's transport, like the Beast in Country A. In addition, the operators, you ntioned, are already here." Ling Qingyu replied. Soon, her Bentley passed Spirit Fox operators, patrolling the street.
She pointed her finger at those busy figures, ard and lethal. Every intersection from now on had at least a patrol vehicle belonging to Spirit Fox.
"Maybe, you haven't noticed much, but I'll tell you which vehicles belonged to our team." Ling Qingyu described the cars that were escorting them in covert both in the front and back.
"Wow, if you didn't say it, I would never know they are protecting us in the first place." Assistant Su praised the skills of Spirit Fox drivers to avoid being noticed. The manner they changed lanes and the order of the vehicles around.
To be frank, Ling Qingyu had no idea about those skills but her excellent mory and aid from Athena, allowed her to know Spirit Fox's presence. Tang Ziyi's existence brought a colossal upgrade.
On the way, they even saw Aegis vehicles, attracting Assistant Su's and Gu Yi's attention. Both, who knew the identity of the boss of Spirit Fox, lanted Ling Qingyu was too strong.
She was seeking independence in a broad spectrum. Although the manner she owned a private military was unconstitutional, Gu Yi and Assistant Su didn't point it out, especially when the cause was helpful to Yang Qingyue.
The appearance of armored operators with visors, ard to the teeth, resembled a heavy infantry from ancient tis, exhibiting a sense of security for everyone, particularly in a province where criminals and gangs were rampant.
The citizens and the officials witnessed a significant drop in cri rates, controlled by Yang Qingyue. These achievents couldn't be denied, no matter how Yang Qingyue's and Gu Yi's opponents attempted to blackwash.
Besides, Ling Qingyu had never done anything outrageous to hurt the people and the order, even if so actions were too pragmatic.
"Little Yu, why do you think the governnt of every nation let a criminal roam free, even if they knew, that gang leader killed many?" Gu Yi leaned and asked.
"Probably, lack of evidence to persecute." Ling Qingyu answered nonchalantly. "But I presu more of the reasons leaned toward benefits. That bastard is bringing sothing to the table."
"Let's cancel these assumptions and focus on the issues between the criminal and the governnt."
"Then, maybe because the victims, that bastard hurt, aren't related to the governnt." Ling Qingyu gave another excuse. "As long as he or she knows the bottom line, they can knowingly commit cris when they had the confidence to not leave any evidence. If they hit so judicial process with money, the situation turns in his favor."
Gu Yin's lips twitched, speechless at Ling Qingyu's remarks. Why was this girl so keen on blaming the governnt? She really wanted to give a lecture to Ling Qingyu about the fundantals of the rule of law by annotating examples.
Now, what Ling Qingyu said was so right that she had no refusal. "No, I said, Little Yu, can't you listen carefully and focus on the main points?"
Ling Qingyu stayed quiet and prepared to listen further. Of course, she knew what Gu Yi wanted to talk about but she didn't totally agree with the ruler's perspective. If so many lives were paid for so that justice ca to a single bastard with a lighter sentence, what was the use of justice?
However, she shouldn't argue too much with the elder. Gu Yi had no idea what Ling Qingyu had in mind and tested the latter. "If we do so by arbitrarily killing the bastard or unlawful arrest, the foundation of what our society is built would be gone. It's not that the governnt is weak but we must have a system. Otherwise, all we have are people avenging themselves and absolute chaos.
The governance collapsed. What can happen to them could reach you as well."
"Would you say the sa thing, if your loved one got hurt, Aunt Gu?" Ling Qingyu returned a simple question.
Gu Yi paused and pondered. Would she be able to hold her anger and follow the process? Yes, if the final results were justifiable. "Yes."
"Well, I admire you, Aunt Gu. What if you don't get the justice you deserve?" Ling Qingyu asked again.
Gu Yi had no answer because she didn't know what she would do if she lost Yang Qingyue, her only daughter. Nonetheless, in front of Ling Qingyu, she should express her opinion firmly. "I think I'll try again till I get what I deserve."
"I don't think I have Aunt Gu's ideology. I can follow the rules if I obtain the results I deserve. Otherwise, I will get my own. Perhaps, the weak will comfort themselves but the strong will only keep pushing. If rules forbid , I'll break one. I don't have the mindset of sacrificing people for the greater good.
If my justice has been denied since the beginning because of a faulty system, then let rewrite a new one. After all, with my position, justice fails because there are too many corruptions."
Assistant Su tried to reduce her presence, feeling the boiling undercurrent between the two.
"Then, won't the aning of democracy fail if everybody acts like you?"
"Perhaps…However, if an ordinary person were to strike at the top powerful tyrants, the process and system are deed useless because bullies understood that within the rules, ordinary people had no chance of winning at all."
"You haven't answered my question?" Gu Yi pressed.
"Haha…Then I have to question your words. Does your failure an—democracy failing or hierarchy failing?" Ling Qingyu chuckled like an evil villainousness. "Why do you think the rich and elites fear the world without social order? Simple—it's the only one within Chao where any person from any status can hurt them.
And I'm sure if everyone acts like , the law of the jungle will prevail again which isn't good either. I don't support chaos but I don't accept a corrupt system either.
"Of course, in order to prevent these anomalies from happening, those powerful circles will nib the threats in the bud collectively. Nobody wants an existence that will harm them. Tyrants fear uncontrollable violence. Imagine second generations bullying the weak with confidence because the latter was restrained in fear of hurting their friends and families like a frog boiled slowly to death.
In fact, if the weak awakens and fight back regardless of the price…"
Gu Yi and Assistant Su got the picture. For instance, if the weak killed the bully straightaway, the next one might not dare to oppress and exploit others to avoid eting similar lunatics. They couldn't be sure if the one they suppressed was a docile sheep or a dog without any retreat.
Ling Qingyu recalled the existence of a nation surrounded by enemies all around in her past life. From its founding, always threatened with terror, violence and war, if they hadn't acted like lunatics to bite any opponents to the death, the nation wouldn't have survived to the modern age.
Similarly, for the situation of solving cris, Ling Qingyu figured El Salvador's ruthless phases of plans were suitable for Province N's situation. The president himself made enemies with all the powerful figures and he survived and won. Of course, the example was a little extre, given one wrong move could lead him to another powerful dictatorship.
Anyway, just because one feared breaching human rights, national image and loss of order, one shouldn't seek a slow death. Either reform through bloodshed and ascend to a higher level or die in pain and agony.
A strong ruthless an was necessary to quell the chaos. Nevertheless, people sotis didn't want to break the original rules and abide by them, giving more strength to the tyrant. The result was easy to guess, the distance between the top and bottom classes widened until hell let loose.
Every cycle of shuffling classes occurred at this mont and the process repeated from the beginning of a human era.
Not all reforms ended successfully. So went worse, Ling Qingyu didn't deny the possible outco. Gu Yi narrowed her eyes at Ling Qingyu, a slight hint of fear contained in her gaze. Her back was soaked with sweat.
Ling Qingyu was a rational reforr type. Unlike those idealists who will soon capitulate to the elites and accept the 'conventional' rules, she was the type to make a new order herself. She would never appear as a leader but her every action said so. She would prepare everything before she set her path toward the goal.
Nobody would realize what ideas she had inside at all though for now, Ling Qingyu still seed cheerful and bright.
Common sense ant nothing to her. She regarded these as unnecessary restraints. Only the minimum values and morals of humans still would exist once she unleashed her thought.
Gu Yi wondered if the two would end in separate camps because of interest and positions. Thinking that her daughter followed Ling Qingyu willingly, she had headaches. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
At the sa ti, Miss System, who read her thoughts, smiled at the latter's IQ. Perhaps, Ling Qingyu herself might not understand what type she was in politics even though her ambition grew. If she heard her mother-in-law's statent, she would realize why Miss System chose her.
She had combination of everything, balanced with rationality, ruthlessness, and ideals. With Miss System's support, her goals beca easier to walk. A tiline that stretched for two or three centuries would succeed faster.
