Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Temporary headquarter.

Yang Qingyue, Cai Ning, and the rest of the officers were watching the firefight from the projection, Tang Ziyi uploaded the video.

Naturally, it wasn't captured from the satellite but rather from one of many drones flying overhead. Since Tang Ziyi's group departed from Ling Qingyu's residence, they had packed so many autonomous drones inside a special vehicle to have top-down perspectives.

She who always came up with technologies must be up-to-date. Of course, these were also controlled by Athena to scan the city block. With Athena's report, Tang Ziyi directed the nearest drone so that Yang Qingyue could watch.

Actually, Tang Ziyi could display footage from the satellite but that would be too much. Although no one would say anything about her hacking ability, her showoff was already way overboard.

The people inside the temporary headquarters paused their work and stared at the screen in anxiety and partial excitement. Two sides exchanging fierce gunfire. Apparently, robbers retreated to someone's building, which wasn't a good sign.

No one desired another hostage situation. Luckily, the Spirit Fox team stuck with the enemies, not giving them a chance to pause and organize.

Cai Ning redirected most units to the vicinity of the hot area shown on the screen to shrink the encirclement.

Xiao Yue and Tang Ziyi only requested the new Spirit Fox reinforcement to change its destination. It was now that everything would end. The headquarters became busier as officers raced everywhere to organize different departments and units.

Honestly, this current scenario demanded additional recruitments from other stations and would never be handled by City N alone. The entire prefecture must be at work but who made Yang Qingyue gain the help of Spirit Fox. Already 500 pairs of boots were deployed.

If she couldn't solve the predicament given the force multiplier and a large number of special operatives, Yang Qingyue would follow her mother's arrangement without complaint.

Of course, the true reason, Yang Qingyue rejected asking for help, was the presence of Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue plus some existence for which she had no idea how Ling Qingyu's team had fresh intelligence. In any case, her prestige and reputation would never decrease. If she really requested support, part of her authority as police commissioner might not be respected.

The robbers slammed through many doors as they navigated for the way out. If things didn't change, they would soon be surrounded. The leader called his support, asking the location to extract them.

Good news returned. In a few minutes, they would be able to leave soon. The only negative factor was the police trailing behind. He ordered his fellows to gain more time.

One person at the rear grabbed the cleaner who was scared to move after seeing weapons and their menacing aura.

He took out a grenade and removed the pin, before forcing it over to the poor woman. "Take it if you don't want to die. By the way, you must hold it firmly. Otherwise, it will explode in your hand."

Grinning a threat, he patted the woman's back and dashed away to keep up with his friends. The grenade didn't explode after removing a safety pin. The mechanism didn't even start yet. An additional lever existed for the ignition to start, which was the spoon. So long as a person held the spoon attached, the countdown would never begin.

Telling the cleaner to firmly hold the grenade was to prevent an explosion from happening. Of course, if the woman panicked and did something else, that wasn't his concern. In any case, his action was meant to distance themselves from the police.

Charlie's 6 perspective.

As soon as the operators breached in to continue the chase, the team leader paused as she discovered one elderly couple on the floor in disarray. She saw the man hugging the woman in panic.

"Point, clear ahead but don't go more than two rooms. Go."

Following her command, the group separated, some clearing ahead, the rest assuming rear security. She and her partner knelt beside the elders in distress.

After asking several questions, she understood, that the old woman likely suffered a heart attack. She was also frightened because she knew nothing about first-aid. One of the teammates with her had emergency medical knowledge, stepped in and volunteered to help.

The team leader sighed in relief as she left behind two women to guard the 'medic' and ordered the rest to pursue.

"HQ, Charlie 6."

"Charlie 6, HQ. What's the matter?"

"We have a problem. Requesting medical assistance to my pos. One elderly woman suffers heart attack and one of my teammates is giving her first aid."

"Roger, sending relevant unit. Keep doing what you're doing. No need to report your location, we're tracking you from above."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Understood, Charlie 6 continuing pursuit. Out." She readied herself. "Let's go. We got work to do."

Soon, the team merged again apart from the three operators left behind. The number two saw everyone stacked and immediately squeezed the arm of the pointsman.

As the operators progressed forward and came to the hallway, everyone stopped, particularly those at the front. "Police! Stop! Stay right where you are."

"Ma'am what are you trying to do?"

"I'm not..I'm not a bad guy. The ones with the guns run away. Please help me." The woman held the grenade with both hands. "He forces me to hold it. I'm sorry. I cannot."

Listening to the woman's blabbers, everyone let go of the breath they held in due to fear. Initially, the team suspected the woman was another participant but the guess was too unlikely.

Charlie 6 team leader's face darkened. They had become unscrupulous. It seemed like she must make haste. Her team's speed was too slow. If more innocent people got involved, Spirit Fox's name might be ruined.

"Three will stay behind to comfort her. The rest, on me." The team leader strode ahead, passed by the cleaner. "HQ, Charlie 6 request EOD. We've got a female, forced to hold the grenade with the spoon on. I have my subordinates comfort her. If there's other units nearby, please make it fast."

The three ordered to stay guarded the woman. One of them comforted the victim in a gentle tone, soothing her emotion. She was also looking around to see if there was any single room without humans so that she could throw the explosive away if situation deteriorate or the woman became tired.

Charlie 6 resumed the chase; they already regarded the five foes as terrorists by now. However, they admitted these bastards' method worked because time had been delayed, the original short distanced had elongated. Like Tom and Jerry, Charlie 6 had to solve so many tricks and traps to catch the mouse.

Everyone gritted their teeth in annoyance. Oh! Don't give them a chance, they were prepared to take the lives of five by now. One old lady almost died and now another cleaner girl could die if she panicked and brought harms to people inside the building. They got out of the building and saw the back of the running figure turning around the corner.

Charlie 6 sprinted with all their might, not worrying about ambushes ahead. Their equipment and skills gave them this confidence.
