Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

"Okay, I know," Yang Qingyue waved her hand helplessly. "We've seen and played a match with them. How could I not know?"

"But that was months ago. The improvement that I noticed is staggering to say the least. You have no idea," Ling Qingyu said. "And you're incorrect about the number."

"Really," Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning sounded dull, not surprised. Anyone could hide the statistics or manipulate the data. Having a reliable number as evidence wasn't as strong as it could be regarded as evidence, though most of the lawsuits heavily relied on one.

Naturally, the court duration elongated when dealing with numbers because the experts needed to thoroughly check for authenticity.

"It's around 600 or more," Ling Qingyu rubbed her nose in embarrassment. "Okay, 600-700 roughly. So, if they participate, your situation doesn't seem too hard."

"Seriously? 600 plus?" Yang Qingyue's eyes widened. "You! You're more dangerous than the gangs combined."

Cai Ning nodded. She was no more shocked than Yang Qingyue was. Heck, though Ling Qingyu regarded them as bodyguards, it was no different from a well-trained, well-equipped and highly motivated army in Cai Ning's eyes.

Furthermore, with Sister Tang's involvement, the quality of individual's tactical sense peaked. In fact, it wasn't wrong to call them special operatives.

Some smaller nations didn't have such a large number of special force members and a few might be weaker comparing military strength with Ling Qingyu's private army. Even wealthier nations in Alyssia had around 400 members among the tier-one units generally.

"What danger?" Ling Qingyu's eyelids twitched. "Isn't mine, yours?"

"Don't change the subjects," Yang Qingyue sighed. With Ling Qingyu's cooperation, she no longer needed to worry about gang spillover once she took action against Tiger group.

One problem solved and another more difficult predicament popped up, making her speechless.

"Hey, I didn't do anything. I admit, the number is scary but you have to trust my integrity," Ling Qingyu tried to find words of comfort. "At least, in name, the group belongs to you, Sister Yang. You're the commander."

"Commander, my foot. I have no control at all," Yang Qingyue cursed while Cai Ning snickered on the sideline.

"No, you do, as long as you give orders, they're no different from yours," Ling Qingyu smiled slyly.

"Please, even if I don't give orders, they're arresting so many criminals," Thinking of the past arrests piling up tall documents, Yang Qingyue still couldn't fathom.

"But that's those seriously wanted criminals and emergencies where they have to intervene," Ling Qingyu excused her girls' actions. "Forget about those, why don't you give a name for them? I don't want to refer to them as a special unit or my guards, even if the statement is the truth. Having an official name will facilitate several muddy processes."

Yang Qingyue rolled her eyes and looked at Cai Ning for help. She also believed Ling Qingyu's guards deserved a name. Even the public, especially residents of Province N, were curious about the guards' information.

Sooner or later, she would have to unveil. A sonorous name was essential before public appearance. They had established trust and prestige amongst the public and the criminals. Those who broke laws were fearful of meeting Ling Qingyu's guards.

Noticing Yang Qingyue's eyes, Cai Ning shrugged. "Don't look at me. I'm worse than you regarding this kind of business. You're the chief."

"**** you, you're also a deputy chief," Yang Qingyue beeped, annoyed. She knew if she spoke out, she would be laughed at. "Don't think whatever comes out of my mouth is crooked."

Seeing Yang Qingyue's warning, Ling Qingyu and Cai Ning nodded. They had a premonition, it wasn't going to go well.

Ling Qingyu: "Shoot away, Sister Yang. I know you will do fine."

Cai Ning: "No matter what happens, we got your back."

If others who didn't know the truth were listening, they would've thought the trio was making an indispensable decision, one that might affect life or death of the entire organization.

Yang Qingyue's mouth twitched. Hopeless against these two sisters. "How about we call them 'Shadow'? It sounds cool and menacing."

Ling Qingyu and Cai Ning had 3 exclamation marks on their heads. Though the name sounded promising, they felt something wrong.

Unsure, Ling Qingyu asked with an uncertain tone. "You're really serious?"

"Why not? Working anonymously, without payment from the government yet with their own circle, trying to seek security and peace. They want nothing in return but the desire to serve as a public servant," Yang Qingyue showed puzzlement.

Ling Qingyu's eyebrows trembled, hearing Yang Qingyue's statements. If not for her providing salary and basic needs, who would want to serve without anything in return?

"Indeed, I forget, it's your sponsorship that helps their living conditions but we're only naming so we don't need to be too strict," Yang Qingyue said, noticing the awkward silence.

"But why shadows?" Cai Ning asked. She figured her original career might resonate with Shadow but Ling Qingyu's guards, though they acted like one, they were Yang Qingyue's subordinates officially.

"Working in the dark for the light, while others live in peace, we fight. Darkness also represented anonymity," Yang Qingyue explained, slamming her fist against her thigh with a strong tone.

Crows cawed loud and glass shattered in the inner world of Cai Ning and Ling Qingyu. Yang Qingyue's words sounded more like a cult to brainwash others they were doing good. To do good, someone has to do bad.

Sis, are you sure you might not have a misunderstanding of your police force?! Even if her guards weren't sticking to the rules too much, they did their police jobs seriously. Ling Qingyu had headaches as she complained bitterly. She had heard of this motto, especially used by assassins.

We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are Assassins.

Even if Ling Qingyu's special operators acted no differently, she disliked such a title. Indeed, anyone would feel powerful with such statements, but the consequences of inheriting this name, Ling Qingyu dared not fathom more.

"Ahem, Yang Qingyue, you better change it. Shadows wouldn't be a good description," Ling Qingyu thought carefully of her words.

"Why? I felt really good even with the word," Yang Qingyue perceived strong protest from Ling Qingyu. "And even you too, Sister Cai?"

"I'm worried someone will think too much and hinder you in the future. This name might become problematic in the officialdom," Cai Ning gave a valid reason.

Ling Qingyu flashed a thumbs-up inwardly at Cai Ning's spontaneous response. Although Yang Qingyue suspected these two friends didn't seem to be telling the truth, she decided to ignore her feelings.

"Then, ah-hah," Yang Qingyue exclaimed in joy. "Since there are codenames like phoenix, dragon, and panther in the army, why not do the same? Sister Ling, your group is like a pack of tigresses but with wings attached, super strong. So, let's call them Flying Tiger."

Cai Ning's eyes squinted, repeating the name in her mind. She nodded afterward and glanced at Yang Qingyue with satisfaction and gratification.

Only Ling Qingyu looked down at the floor with confusion. She knew of Flying Tiger units in her past life. They were renowned for their success in missions. However, these didn't matter because judging from Yang Qingyue's tone, Ling Qingyu knew there was no such unit yet.

Was Province N, the Hong Kong version of Country C, where gangs and the wealthy were rampant in oppressing the people? Ling Qingyu wondered about the miracle of the world's similarities.

However, it didn't mean everything was similar but the potential of the natural harbor proved, the financial potential of the province was very high. It was the presence of criminals' dens and gangs destroying the economy and driving talented people elsewhere.

Another version of internal brain drain. If Province N was so strategic, why did the central government ignore the situation? Ling Qingyu had simple answers—there were other ports which could provide the same revenue and it wasn't worth the cost and risk of fixing Province N.

Another might be no officials dared to rectify as the chances of failure remained high and likely led to a disaster on the road to officialdom.
