Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 479 Someone calls for help

Fortunately, the much-awaited police units from the nearby authority arrived. Ling Qingyu and the girls clapped their hands and fled fast.

Only after some distance that the group looked back and wiped the sweats drenched on their forehead. Too terrifying.

Who said aunts weren't powerful? They were so strong that Ling Qingyu and the girls had no idea what to do.

Even the brain with the highest IQ had a short circuit moment. In fact, Ling Qingyu did fine by calling back up.

She couldn't just escape without responsibility as she would be damaging Sister Yang's hard work. As a 'close sister', there was nothing wrong with sharing some pain.

Afterward, everyone laughed and shook their head. The girls promised to spread the gossip with their fellow sisters. Ling Qingyu pretended to be ferocious to hide her suffering.

The girls cooperated and begged for mercy. The four chuckled, attracting people's gaze on the path they walked. After all, SWAT officers joking around as they patrolled, lacked some seriousness in the public eyes.

Pitiful for those public servants because of strict demands. Of course, these only referred to those who really did their job and cared for the people.

Anyway, Ling Qingyu's group didn't bother about other's reactions too much and ignored some eyes filled with questions. It was as if someone completed the required project within two days given the deadline of a week and accusations and blame rose because he or she didn't work.

Was a person's effort, expertise, and experience based on the time they worked? How much time they had invested before they could accomplish such an awesome feat? People only watched the exterior.

"Ah!….Help…."

Ling Qingyu's ears twitched under the helmet. She lifted the left portion of her headset above her helmet. In order to impersonate being a swat, they must also dress similarly.

So, the helmets, everyone wore were high-cut versions, giving more space to move near the ear's area.

"Did you hear something?" Ling Qingyu asked.

The girls exchanged glances and looked around, removing the headset as if to capture the voice. They shook their head, puzzled at Ling Qingyu's reaction.

"Did I work too hard to hallucinate?" Ling Qingyu scratched her cheek as her eyes roamed around the busy streets.

Cars sped past and the whirls of engine roared against the urban gray background. The girls around her expressed understanding at their boss.

"Boss, you might have worked too hard."

"Yeah, boss. You have like two jobs for a week."

"Or boss, why don't you take a leave?"

Ling Qingyu argued. "How could I do that? I have promised Sister Tang to work for seven days. Where will my face go? NO, I must prove to that bastard that I'm not all talks."

The girls giggled at Ling Qingyu's reaction and everyone forgot Ling Qingyu's previous suspicion. Ling Qingyu felt she might also be under some pressure since even Athena didn't speak.

The moment she asked others, Athena should have investigated but she received no reply. Hmm…thinking about it carefully, no reply was the strangest.

Ling Qingyu stopped and looked around carefully. Her behavior also alerted the girls. "What's wrong, Boss?"

"No, something's definitely wrong. I heard someone calling for help." Ling Qingyu explained while hinting at Athena for a reply.

Sure enough, Athena voiced her findings. "Mom, because I didn't use my power to hack into the other's device to listen and record, I'm not sure whether what you heard at that time is the truth. So, I'm still investigating. Now my ears and eyes are spread like a net, please wait for my further news."

Ling Qingyu sighed in relief at Athena's action. She believed with her daughter's strength, what she was uncertain would have an answer soon.

While waiting for Athena's results, Ling Qingyu recalled the situation and tried to simulate where the sound came from.

Based on the ear's direction, she heard from the road, not from the buildings on the closest side. Perhaps, the sound came from the opposite buildings, people working on opposite pavements, or passing cars.

Cars?!

Ling Qingyu's thoughtful expression didn't draw weird remarks nor suspicions from the girls, who were also looking around carefully.

First, the reason wasn't because Ling Qingyu had been their boss; they understood Ling Qingyu's character. She would never make a nonsense.

Secondly, as for hallucination, since Ling Qingyu paid serious attention now, they rejected the idea. Not to mention, they knew how powerful Ling Qingyu was.

Their boss was better than them in martial arts. Their long-term training in the past decades seemed nothing different from a foil in front of Ling Qingyu.

If placed in ancient times, Ling Qingyu was like a martial arts prodigy, every sect and school would be fighting for. The girls already witnessed Ling Qingyu's drastic improvements under Instructor Tang's push.

So, when Ling Qingyu emphasized she heard nothing wrong, which meant that someone was really indeed in trouble.

Suddenly, Ling Qingyu sprinted causing the girls to pause in confusion and follow quickly. The boss must have discovered something.

Ling Qingyu gestured at the traffic warden figure ahead to stop the traffic on her lane. Watching her agitated expression and the trio behind, the warden also cooperated quickly, fearing she might inhibit the SWAT's important mission.

The light had turned red already but the warden just elongated the time to infinite. In fact, how sure was Ling Qingyu?

Probably close to none but she trusted her intuition and estimation. If what she heard came from the vehicles, it must be in the lane she tried to stop.

If the source was from the opposite lane, there was nothing she could do but she certainly believed her conviction was more possible because only the closest could reach her ears.

"Separate and interrogate the drivers from back to front. Report any suspicions." Ling Qingyu ordered her girls.

"Roge." The girls nodded and hasted to the vehicles. Beginning from the back row, the girls knocked on the door and spoke with the driver, while their eyes scanned inside.

Ling Qingyu picked a lane. Luckily, the road was medium size; there were only four traffic lanes. Each chose a column.

Perking her ears, Ling Qingyu tried to listen again but she heard no more. Furthermore, Athena still hadn't given her a satisfying answer. Was she hearing something wrong all along?

On the other hand, Athena was sweating, her eyes and ears targeting a small radius of Ling Qingyu's position. She even widened the circle but she found nothing. Nobody committed crimes, nor were there any fights in the vicinity.

Ling Qingyu sighed at the outcome, especially since she couldn't listen carefully when engine noise rattled in her ears. She somehow wondered how a panic voice managed to reach her auditory sensor.

Knocking on the windows, Ling Qingyu asked the first driver. "Ma'am, where are you going and where do you come from?"

The female driver smiled and answered fluently after a pause. Ling Qingyu studied her micro-expression and nodded. "May I see your ID, Please?"

"Sure. What's the matter, Officers?"

"Sorry, I can't disclose, Ma'am."

Ling Qingyu glanced at the photo and data, comparing them with the lady inside. There were also kids inside. "Alright, have a nice day. Thank you for your cooperation."

Moving onto the second car, Ling Qingyu asked again. The same process went for her girls, who shot random questions to relax the drivers' guard and stomped with a surprise inquiry. Till now, nobody managed to gain anything.

The traffic warden was also worried that she overstepped her job without her superiors' permission after seeing Ling Qingyu's group's behavior. She regretted her passionate heart and began to waver because of the dangers to her job. She couldn't hold this traffic section for long and caused a jam somewhere. In any case, she couldn't be blamed for her psychological distress.

She was just a small traffic warden.

While the little warden was panicking, Ling Qingyu and the girls continued their search. By now, even the girls and Ling Qingyu herself were doubting a little about their conjectures.

None of the vehicles, they interrogated, displayed any suspicious activities. They were beginning to lose some confidence. Ling Qingyu radioed her team to continue, after contemplating that since she had already started, she should end the process smoothly too.

There was no loss if she found nothing in the end. But if she made mistakes, someone would lose the only chance of survival.
