Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system-Chapter 527: Tanya
Ling Qingyu shook her head and sighed, murmuring her lamentation. "I thought I was the only one suffering Tang Ziyi’s hands. Oh, poor girls. I don’t know if the case is on a daily basis."
"Ah, Boss. You’re also abused?" The girl cried out with surprise. "Wow, I envy your physique." She flashed a thumbs-up.
Ling Qingyu’s face darkened immediately. What abused? "Don’t say abuse, it’s called love from someone teaching you. It’s a privilege. No pain no gain."
"Yes, yes, Boss. I was wrong." The girl nodded hurriedly and smirked. Oh, she should deliver the message to everyone who has Ling Qingyu’s privilege.
Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes at her subordinate’s perfunctory. She knew what this girl was up to. Shaking her head, Ling Qingyu looked around for the real culprit.
She spotted a figure surrounded by operators who were watching from above. Marching toward Tang Ziyi menacingly, Ling Qingyu was noticed by everyone, watching the fight from above, including Gu Yi and Assistant Su.
Both followed Ling Qingyu quickly. The energy intensity was too strong. Every time they witnessed someone being hit, they would twitch and cringe, feeling pain for the operator.
Staying near the operators, Gu Yi felt a little scared. These innocent-looking girls were fierce as beasts when they fought. They were indeed peaceful yet dangerous, not harmless as one assumed.
Thinking that she made the terrible mistake of underestimating someone based on their looks, Gu Yi shuddered. Even if looks were deceiving, she should never regard these operators as simple, lively girls.
Of course, she was more terrified of her underestimation than the girls. She shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.
Assistant Su had beams in her eyes as she scanned across the fighting scene. She even wanted to participate fervently, if not for worrying about her unsightly behavior.
Tang Ziyi noticed the aggressive truck hauling in her way from the corner of her eyes. She didn’t change her expression at all because she knew the driver dared not hit her.
Ling Qingyu slowed down her steps in dissatisfaction as she saw unresponsive Tang Ziyi, whose eyes stayed below, scanning everyone and taking note of their strengths and weaknesses.
"What’s the matter since you are in a hurry?" Tang Ziyi asked knowingly without retracting her gaze at the operators.
Ling Qingyu’s prior energy wilted and she scratched her head and murmured hehe. "Ahem…Don’t you have any sympathy for girls? Oh my gosh, I felt hurt just looking at the ruffle chaotic fights."
"It’s because of my flooding sympathy that I train them hard. There is no distinction between gender in life and death battle." Tang Ziyi replied with a shrug. Her monotonic voice lacked warmth.
Ling Qingyu was speechless. You are so correct that I cannot refute it at all.
Not bothering about Ling Qingyu’s state, Tang Ziyi continued: "Besides, it would be a waste of their physique and our secrets not to tap into their bodies. There are also medicinal diets and baths to accompany them. What? You pity your wealth?"
"Of course, not." Ling Qingyu rejected it and wondered why was she being interrogated when it was supposed to be the other way around?
Hmph, Tang Ziyi was her nemesis. Even if her strength improved, she couldn’t catch up with the surname Tang.
Gu Yi was observing the relationship between Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu. Seeing the latter so deflated, Gu Yi wanted to laugh if not for the serious circumstances.
She never expected the aggressive Ling Qingyu to lose completely in front of Tang Ziyi. Although she had requested her subordinates to investigate, she knew nothing more than what was written on the paper.
Furthermore, as an experienced veteran in officialdom, she saw things through more clearly than her daughter. Tang Ziyi was no simple ex-mercenary as mentioned in the paper.
There were more secrets hidden. As for how Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi made friends, the intelligence agency couldn’t find a connection without putting in more effort.
In fact, even if the agency attempted a full all-out investigation, Miss System had created a reliable portfolio.
"Just be superior for once, I would like to what your face looks like when I defeat you."
"Sure, I’m always waiting for you."
Ling Qingyu stopped talking and looked around. She saw a figure, embarrassed and entangled by two women.
Both seemed to be fighting for a woman in between. Ling Qingyu became interested and craned her head a little. Oh my, the woman was Su Ruomei.
Jiang Yu was hugging her on the side as if to declare her sovereignty. As for the other woman, she had red hair and an oval face with some sharp edges belonging to Alyssia Continent.
A foreign woman here, interesting. Ling Qingyu smirked. How could another woman fall for Su Ruomei? Even her subordinate had taken over her on the race to the harem.
Poor Jiang Yu, Ling Qingyu expressed sympathy and lit a candle. Everyone familiar with the two understood Jiang Yu had a thing for Su Ruomei, though the idiot Officer Su had no idea what her close sister meant.
By now, Su Ruomei should understand something was going on between her and Jiang Yu. But the third party that came in must have shocked her to the point of not knowing what to do next.
Tang Ziyi followed Ling Qingyu’s sight after seeing the latter in silence and explained. "That foreign girl is called Tanya. A PhD graduate studying in our country. She was one of the victims who we rescued when we raided Tiger’s gang stronghold."
"Oh, she’s pitiful indeed. Who would expect studying in a foreign land could be a nightmare?" Ling Qingyu felt a little sorry for Tanya. "A PhD student is an important talent for any country’s investment. To fall under the hands of traffickers, I hope she’s doing fine. Where’s she from?"
"Country R above our continent." Tang Ziyi replied.
Strangely, the continents were separated by water in this world. The land connections seldom existed, except for a tiny strip of land that connected the two continents. For example, Bear Continent, Country R was situated in, had no connections with Phoenix Continent apart from the seas and small islands.
Geopolitically, Ling Qingyu had no reference if she didn’t study history, geography, and culture carefully even though the continents here resembled her past life in terms of positions.
"As expected, those descendants are beautiful. The figure and face…Tsk…tsk." Ling Qingyu smacked her lips. "Fortunately, we saved her from demise. Are there other girls with her? How do you arrange them?"
"You don’t need to worry; I’ve considered everything. When have I ever failed at important issues?" Tang Ziyi explained. "We’ve taken in the victims here in your residence and consulted with psychologists to treat their trauma. It’ll take time. We’ve also notified their families."
"Don’t let them reunite so quickly. Who knows whether they are sold by their loved ones or betrayed?"
"You don’t need to remind me. I’ve seen darker things than you’ve ever imagined."
"Yes, yes. You are great." Ling Qingyu spat at the arrogant Tang Ziyi.
"So, I requested Athena to investigate carefully and indeed we found a few who were betrayed by their family and friends. Of course, we’ll make a judgment carefully after a thorough investigation by interviewing their familiars."
Ling Qingyu nodded, satisfied at Tang Ziyi’s full coverage. She needed not to consider small issues. "If you find any girls who can’t return to normalhood and are still struggling, without family members or loved ones, who cherish them, please tell me. I’m establishing a foundation and I need people."
"Sure, that’ll be the best." Tang Ziyi sighed in relief. In fact, she was also worrying about this arrangement. What if some girls couldn’t return or were left alone? She couldn’t let them fend for themselves. She couldn’t cater to them either. There must be a transaction to ensure both parties weren’t affected.
Otherwise, the kindness would be exploited and ruin the girls’ character, making them depend on others.
Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi stopped the discussion about the victims’ affair. It was too depressing even if they knew the realities.
And this was in the modern era when human rights were much better than in the previous world. Nonetheless, this didn’t change the fundamentals of evilness in humanity.
In ancient times, for a scenario where the victims suffered, returning to family without repercussion was more like an impossible dream.
A woman’s reputation was ruined and she herself might be blamed instead. That was for the ladies in the big family. At least, their situation was better.
For the common people, especially those who were married early, being kidnapped by bandits and returning home was a nightmare.

Family members ostracized them and would attempt to drive them away in order to preserve the so-called ethics.
There had been stories such as women escaping with happiness and hope of love from their family members after suffering torture and humiliation but were treated coldly. In the end, they committed suicide to prove themselves to refute the accusations from the public. The final straw led them to despair. Alas, very few had good endings.
