"Believe it or not, your Spirit Fox's confrontation with the military based in Province N raises another concern, which is the real reason why I hesitate." Gu Yi said. "What if our actions alert the scamrs and ruin everything? We don't know whether Province N's corruption has already been drilled by those connected to the scamrs."
Assistant Su added on the side. "We don't have solid evidence but from the reports we heard from the undercover agents about the rumors inside, so people here are involved."
"Well, that really complicates everything." Ling Qingyu understood Gu Yi's difficulties. When one couldn't hide their moves, catching the criminals with surprise beca harder.
Even the slightest army movents might alert the scamming gangs and endanger the two missing undercovers.
Although they were in danger, they had a chance of survival because they still retained useful information.
But they were under countdown. Despite persistent requests from other undercover operatives to rescue them, Gu Yi took over and denied their request.
She didn't want to lose more subordinates without certainty. Even if she knew them only on the papers and weren't related, she cared for them.
They weren't numbers in her eyes. She was the one who pressed the most among the ministers for rescue and not simply recorded them as martyrs.
After all, it wasn't a surprise heroes lost their lives. Every day, people sacrifice for a cause. Just wave so compensation and list the people grandly to show that the country cared for them.
This thod was more cost-effective than conducting a costly rescue operation. Besides, in terms of public opinion, no one was aware of these officers.
Unlike last ti, during a civil war ten years ago sowhere in Elephant continent, where many compatriots were trapped, the governnt was obligated to protect them and send in the army and navy to escort them out of the country.
Since most people knew and pressured the authorities, they must react. Now, they had resorted to several diplomatic solutions despite unsuccessful results. At least, they proved that they had tried.
Nobody could bla them for their inaction but the undercover operatives' luck. Sad but true. Public opinion rose and died quickly; they never stayed for long unless the event was so outrageous that people were willing to sacrifice important survival matters.
"But you still haven't spoken why you need my help. Believe , I won't charge a di; I'm willing to end these demons who suck on the blood of innocence."
"Demons?" Gu Yi uttered and agreed with Ling Qingyu's description. Indeed, they were dealing with demons who lost all humanities. "You can reject my request but I want your Spirit Fox operators to rescue the two undercovers and others as well if possible."
"Wait a second, Aunt Gu. Why isn't the military spending special forces?"
"Like I said, the decision for the operation to comnce is going back and forth. Who knows for how long? I can't afford to wait. If possible I want action, now."
"Why us?" Ling Qingyu couldn't decide on this issue, She thought Gu Yi was asking for her hacking power and investigations. But to directly assault and rescue?
"You know the real reason. Strength, proven record, and experience." Gu Yi answered.
"That's cross-border issues. We've never operated outside." Ling Qingyu replied.
"Everyone has the first. You have the ambition to grow overseas, why not help in the early stage?" Gu Yi persuaded. "It's not like you won't receive a reward."
"Then, what's the reward?" Ling Qingyu wanted to know what her mother-in-law would gift.
"You'll have the opportunity to buy two Y-20 military cargo aircraft and a small personal airfield for you, which I'll negotiate with the governor so that your girls can practice skydiving."
"Puff…" Tang Ziyi laughed and bent her waist, trying to control her twitching body.
On the other hand, Ling Qingyu had a dark face and even considered whether Gu Yi was teasing her. Looking at her mother-in-law's sincere face, Ling Qingyu was speechless.
This wasn't a reward; this was a massive salt amount to rub her wounds.
"What?" Gu Yi asked in a puzzled tone. Based on her conjectures, Ling Qingyu didn't need anything more from her apart from the cooperation between the two to benefit themselves.
Even gifting away Y-20, an opportunity for Ling Qingyu to buy was rare. One had to understand, that so things couldn't be bought with money.
"Aunt Gu, I don't an to offend but these aircraft, we can easily manufacture them if we want. Don't forget any secret is nothing in front of us."
"Oh," Gu Yi understood. "But you'll have a legitimate reason to prove."
Damn, Gu Yi hit the nail again. Ling Qingyu was really convinced. The reason why she didn't engage in the aerospace sector was in fear of attracting unwanted eyes.
If Ling Qingyu gained an airfield in Province N, many situations beca as easy as a pie dropped from the sky.
The private airfield was possible here, provided she had relevant connections above and the rits.
Even if others knew what Ling Qingyu gained in the future, the higher-ups would simply consider the reward as deserving.
"The price is worth it. Yet I have to build my own airport then."
"Of course, being able to own a large land is my largest concession. The pressure I must hold for you isn't simple." Gu Yi leaned back and stared at Ling Qingyu for an answer.
"Hmm, isn't that supposed to an that I have to buy land?" Ling Qingyu stared back with frustration. Her mother-in-law was definitely soone who wouldn't accept a loss.
"No, a rent for decades." Gu Yi smiled but her words weren't heartwarming.
What a huge mouth desiring to swallow but seed to fit Ling Qingyu's needs. She wasn't in a hurry but for her future rapid developnt, she needed Gu Yi's transaction.
However, she also admired Gu Yi's courage to save her subordinates who she never interacted. As for why Gu Yi trusted her more than the officials, Ling Qingyu didn't bother to think. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
"Please give us a mont to discuss." Ling Qingyu gestured toward Tang Ziyi to get out and talk.
Gu Yi nodded. "Sure, please. I hope to hear great news."
She knew Ling Qingyu was persuaded by the chips she showed and what she did was simply selling favors from the ones who owed her.
Even if she took their favors, they couldn't repay her yet. Gu Yi acted like she paid a lot for Ling Qingyu to see.
Assistant Su, who didn't understand Gu Yi's advantage, turned hesitant, wanting to ask but thinking she had no right to question her boss, she closed her lips.
"Don't worry, the deal's worth it. In fact, this day would co sooner or later so why not sell a favor?" Gu Yi explained softly after the door closed outside.
...
Ling Qingyu leaned against the wall with her forearm and asked: "What do you think?"
"What do you an, what I think? I have no idea." Tang Ziyi folded her arms and shrugged. "I'm not Xiao Yue. She's better at weighing the scale for a sound decision. Don't ask ."
"Co on, use your brain to see whether our Spirit Fox can rescue the undercover operatives."
Tang Ziyi lowered her gaze and took a deep breath. "Before we carry on, we must know that our neighbor has militants, various ard groups, and militias, all working for their interest. The intertwined parties' formation is what made our governnt so hesitant. Rember, we are being used as a knife. If we can succeed and get out safely, we gain a lot but there's a risk."
"You don't need to talk about political stake. I understand completely. I'm just asking you given our capabilities, can our mission succeed or in other words estimate our probability."
"Then, 99 percent. One percent is just to suppress the arrogance. You're underestimating our improvents too much by comparing us with ordinary people. We aren't ordinary humans anymore. Our physiques have at least overco beyond the limit."
"Every operator?" Ling Qingyu asked with joy and received Tang Ziyi's nod.
"We also have Elena to back us up if anything goes south. Her support along with the satellites above ans we have firepower. The only issue is our entry. How do we get in without alerting about our presence?"
"I guess you have an idea."
"Yes, and it happens that you know about it today."
"Wait, you aren't suggesting…"
"Exactly, HALO infiltration. Skydive and open our parachutes at a lower altitude." Tang Ziyi affird Ling Qingyu's words.
"Shit! Our girls don't have any experience and you dare take a risk. And let's say we have them, what about the aircraft?"
"First, among your guards, the oldest mber had experience in parachuting. They might not be specialist but they had the basic skills long ago before skydiving training." Tang Ziyi paused. "Second, since we know the scamrs' hideout, it's best for us to directly land near them rather than driving around and possibly exposing ourselves.
"Third, your mother-in-law can facilitate our ans of transport. Believe , she'll be happy to cooperate. Fourth, you have to learn to trust us and delegate. You're too demanding of yourselves and others. The skydiving training here isn't comparable with others which you might not notice but the simulation level had reached over 70 percent. None of your daughter's inventions are simple."
"Then, won't our actions tell the others about the mission subtly? Aunt Gu already pointed out about this disadvantage."
Ling Qingyu didn't hear any reply and looked at Tang Ziyi suspiciously, only to hear the latter muttered: "After everything I have told you, can't you get it? You are an idiot!'
Your mother is an idiot, Ling Qingyu slapped her forehead, annoyed.
