Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Temporary headquarter.

Waiting for the K9 units to arrive, Xiao Yue, Tang Ziyi, Yang Qingyue, Cai Ning and a few other officers, who had management positions, were discussing the next move.

The robbers' escape in front of the police was a blatant challenge to their department. Though Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue didn't resemble the groups' feelings, the interest remained the same.

How could they let the culprits who bombed their group run away? Both hadn't even talked about this fact to Ling Qingyu yet. What if by chance the boss got so scared and stopped the guards' current work?

'Scared' Ling Qingyu: Excuse me!

On a big table, Xiao Yue pointed her finger and drew a circle. "I advise we go with two circles encirclement. We'll set up blockades across streets starting from one block radius away as we search block after block. Similarly, there'll also be an outer circle but subordinates of Chief Yang and Chief Cai will assume this responsibility where we'll provide support.

"The inner circle will be taken care of by us. Your SWATs will patrol around and check for any suspicious activities. I doubt even if they dug a tunnel, it should never be longer than the radius I laid down unless these guys plan for a year silently."

Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning agreed with Xiao Yue's deployment. They shared similar thoughts but were never as fine-tuned as Xiao Yue did to the point of the unit arrangement.

Tang Ziyi added: "Additional units of ours will be on standby as we move around and set up spontaneous checkpoints. We'll also cover areas outside of two circles, anything to add?"

"Perfect arrangement. Now it's time to deduce where they have dug the tunnel from?" Yang Qingyue glanced at Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue with pursed lips.

The reason why she acted this way was her shock when she discovered both bringing out so many troops. Heck, the total number was even more than sufficient for a skirmish battle between nations.

Of course, she lamented Ling Qingyu's rich resources and figured she hadn't sucked her partner dried. Look at the operators' equipment, armors, weapons, and vehicles. It was wrong to assume, she wasn't jealous!

Cai Ning thought the same as her friends. But her focus was more on the tunnel's deduction as they waited for K9 units. According to Sergeant Mi's report, they were 5 mikes away.

After everyone agreed with the initial plan, orders were passed down. For the police team, systematic commands slowly spread before they took action. On the other hand, Spirit Fox's communication system was on a whole new level, as soon as Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue spoke, through Athena's intermediaries, words spread fast.

The reactions of Spirit Foxes were clearly noticed by Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning with wide eyes. They sighed and exchanged glances. In fact, Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue were considering whether to own dog units themselves. Otherwise, waiting for other departments wasted precious time like now.

The moment K9 arrived, a manhunt would begin.

Such large troops' movement became obvious. Police vehicles and armored trucks moved around the city blocks, setting up roadblocks and roaming around. People began to panic and asked across social media for news. Previous gunshots and explosions alarmed everyone nearby.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Weibo posts in City N location exploded with tweets after tweets. Videos spread like wildfire. Some even spread rumors as if the apocalypse had rained down. A year hadn't passed since the last fierce gunfight.

Malicious parties also attempted to light more fire, saying a coup was happening in Province N's capital and that gunfire was the exchange between two factions. Yang Qingyue's public relations department quickly took action, soothing public outcry and explaining the reason.

Soon, news of the robbery spread, calming down the public at least. But everyone had a question why were there so many police presence here and remained suspicious? Too heavy to say the least.

It wasn't like official accounts hadn't lied before to calm the public sentiments. They had seen likewise reactions from other countries where coup de tat had emerged. Only after, one after another eyewitnesses of the heist shared their stories, people's beliefs tilt toward the good sides. However, a few skeptics refused to believe.

Interested news media outlets contacted the nearby military whether they or separate armed police unit detachments were involved, confusing military information teams for a while before a superior stepped in and explained.

According to the protocols, they should have intervened once a huge gunfire exchange occurred or at least inquired Yang Qingyue whether she needed help. But none. History repeated itself. No help or reinforcement.

Obviously, factional battles between conservatives and reformers hadn't ended with Yang Qingyue's victory yet. Of course, higher-ups knew what happened but pretended not to know something.

When asked why the military didn't react, the reply was they couldn't intervene in civilian affairs. Bullshit, experts or any knowledgeable reports understood the true reason but reporters couldn't write their true thoughts.

What was the People's Armed Police Force under the military's arrangement for? The real armed police, not SWAT, were solely established just for the current scenario.

Funny enough, the most panicked parties were the gangs. They were frightened by the sheer police movement, fearing Yang Qingyue had planned to take action against them.

Even the gangs far away had serious expressions of fighting to the death whether this false flag movement might just be aimed at them or a distraction. The big four raised vigilance, especially Tiger Gang, which suffered several severe losses in recent times.

The leaders sighed in relief after understanding the true situation. A heist had led to this. Yet, no one dropped their guards. At the same time, they respected the party that dared to offend the new police force. The rise of Spirit Fox and Yang Qingyue had brought nothing but troubles.

Even they stayed away from the edge to avoid attention. How dared the robbers blatantly commit a crime and slap the new police's face? This was no different from seeking death! Everyone saluted the robbers in their minds—for doing something they didn't have courage.

The waves behind had surpassed the one in front. Younger generations shared the responsibility seniors had laid down. Everyone cheered—they were happy that more robbers wreaked havoc to undermine Yang Qingyue's current rising prestige and Spirit Fox's reputation.

The gangs might have a chance for comeback if the robbers proved Spirit Fox's existence was not so invincible after all.

The robbers themselves were unaware of the changes in Province N's situation as they were immersed in planning the heist, digging tunnel. They cut off the connection with the world for more than a month. Nobody used electronic devices to avoid leakage. They had no idea about the reputation brought by Spirit Fox nor Yang Qingyue's fight against corruption.

Police today had changed dramatically in City N and nearby towns. Gradually in the prefecture, Yang Qingyue controlled, bad cops were rooted out. It was no wonder, the robbers' bravery stunned everyone. Those who didn't know the limits had no fears.

Actually, what people didn't understand was the news outlets had purposely neglected some information so that the attention stayed hot for as long as they could, taking advantage of Yang's subordinates' lack of response as they summarized and collected evidence before releasing official posts.

People only received news that the robbers escaped after a heist, surrounded by special police units as if police units were useless and played around. They had no idea a hostage scenario ensued and Spirit Fox stormed in and rescued everyone safely within a short time constraint. They didn't know the whole story.

No one understood the difficulties and the successes behind covered by the mere fact that a few escapees became a large group. There were indeed people nearby who tried to refute and clarify but they were bombarded heavily either by unknown bystanders or parties with a purpose to throw dirty water.

As for the hostages themselves, because everyone was still interrogated and had to undergo treatment, psychologically and physically, they were out of touch with the world. Of course, this could also be because reporters still hadn't arrived at the scene yet and were competing for attention on the internet.

Time seemed so long until the anticipated K9 arrived. The impatient Spirit Foxes on-site sprung into action, leading the dogs to the big hole.
