Chapter 133: Eldest Sister! Please control yourselves
Ling Qingyu glanced at Tang Ziyi in a weird way because her friend resembled Mr.Q character in James Bonds' movies. One after another sophisticated yet unprecedented invention came out of her head.
Although Tang Ziyi's head had various ideas in her mind, it was Athena's existence who made it applicable in reality.
With Athena, simulations and testing became a piece of cake, without costing severe expenses like the laboratories of other companies. The only missing component might be a competent and strategic scientist to participate in the research.
And Athena showed no difference from a conventional scientist. These were Ling Qingyu's momentary thoughts and plans which ran inside her brain.
When Ling Qingyu was about to inquire more, Tang Ziyi cut her off: "Don't ask. It'll take more time to explain the process and mechanism of this clothing. Just trust me and Athena, who have tested these products."
Ling Qingyu could only nod under Tang Ziyi's fierce stare but she still asked. "Can you guarantee that is the truth?"
"Of course, I would never make fun of my life or the lives of my sisters. Everything is foolproof. Not to mention, there are other remaining items which I have no time to delve the information. You can ask Athena about those. "
"Alright, you can take away the capable ones but who will protect me?"
"Xiao Yue will be left behind and some sisters who can use firearms."
"Speaking of guns, how are you going to solve the legal issues?"
"Don't worry, I hacked into the government system and obtained the license to permit carrying firearms."
"Fine. Go then. I think Yang Qingyue might need you more. Don't waste the time, every second means a life."
"En," Tang Ziyi muttered and went out, closing the door. Ling Qingyu felt worried, regarding the safety of her female guards, no matter how many times, Tang Ziyi assured her.
Athena consoled Ling Qingyu several times, showing their test results and video recordings. Only then, Ling Qingyu's heart calmed down but her desire to keep working vanished.
Bored, Ling Qingyu asked Athena to show her the videos of the CCTVs where the chaos currently was going on.
...............................................
Tang Ziyi closed the door and smiled at Zhao Xiurong who gazed at her. She quickened her pace toward Xiao Yue, who seemed to be having a conversation with Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu.
A great coincidence, Tang Ziyi thought as she no longer needed to search for them. The three of them also noticed Tang Ziyi walking toward their direction and stopped the topic.
When they were about to greet her, they only heard Tang Ziyi say: "Follow me to the underground parking lots."
The three exchanged glances and followed her steps, since Tang Ziyi's expression told seemed something serious had happened.
"What's the matter, Sister Ziyi?" Su Ruomei asked and the others showed curiosity in their eyes.
Tang Ziyi answered as she walked ahead. "Today, City N isn't safe, especially with the chaos outside where the police couldn't even control the public. We must prepare ourselves for the safety of Sister Ling."
"What news did you hear?" Su Ruomei's eyes narrowed. It wasn't without any reason for Tang Ziyi to become suddenly so serious.
"I think, it'll all be on the news very soon." Tang Ziyi replied. "Oh and how many of your old comrades who participated in the training session with me are in this company?"
Su Ruomei looked at Jiang Yu, who answered the question quickly. "10 of them are working here.
"So, the other 10 members in this company are newly recruited then?" Since Tang Ziyi didn't deal with the logistical affair, regarding recruitment and organizing the shifts, she asked Jiang Yu for more information.
"Yes, Sister Tang. We've more than 20 new female guards, discharged recently from the military working here. Today is their first shift. That's why we have a combination of 10 plus 10, new and old, working together." Jiang Yu explained.
Tang Ziyi nodded and told Su Ruomei: "Sister Su should call all of the old ones to gather at the underground exclusive parking lot, perhaps one or two rookies too. I have a lot to talk to."
Su Ruomei muttered in agreement and talked into the radios, to summon her subordinates as requested by Tang Ziyi.
In the underground parking lot, after a few minutes later and seeing everyone had arrived, Tang Ziyi began briefing the situation of City N to the guards around.
She received numerous reactions.
"I didn't expect the gangs to have the courage to face the entire police force."
"It's not like you don't know there are moles inside."
"Yeah. I heard the gangs operate usually in the area but to even dare to shoot at the officers. I have no words."
"But what effect does the situation have on us?" Finally, one of them asked the important points.
"A good question, everybody has in mind. I suppose some of you have made a guess." Tang Ziyi gave a thumbs-up sign to the girl who asked.
Everyone surrounding her waited for what Tang Ziyi would say next. Tang Ziyi walked toward her Cadillac and placed the laptop above the trunk.
Tang Ziyi said while she displayed several video feeds live on the screen: "It's in our best interest that our company's surrounding areas guarantee a high level of safety and stability. Once this is broken, the revenue would drop, and even our salary might be affected."
She added: "Don't think everything so simply. Every component is connected by chains of connection and the failure in one of the mechanisms can affect the rest. Likewise, the gang uprising, as in my view will form a drastic change to us."
"But we can't do anything to them. Not to mention, who knows these corrupt coppers do other bad deeds. It's best for the gangs and them to fight against each other."
"I hate to tell you, the officers involved in this crisis are officers who love the community and have a heart of justice unlike those we usually hear from outside." Tang Ziyi explained the scenarios more clearly and described the event to clarify the situation going on at present.
"The reason I call you over is to help these officers in need and President Ling affirms my decision. As for how to deal with them, you'll know when we go back to the manor and I'll brief everything there. Any questions?… Right now…" Tang Ziyi closed the lid of her laptop seeing the rest nod their heads, lifted it in her hand, and opened the trunk of the vehicle.
After placing the laptop safely, she unzipped the bags inside and took out the things one by one. Everyone leaned their heads a little in a crowded space to see what Tang Ziyi wanted to show them.
They saw seven pistols, placed accordingly. All Glock 19.
Everyone had their mouth agape, surprised at how Tang Ziyi managed to own several firearms, even in a firearm-restricted country.
If Tang Ziyi heard them, she would sneer and think, a mere law couldn't stop what she wanted. Even those in power, bent and stretched these rules to their advantage. What's wrong with her trying for everyone's safety and benefits? Not to mention, she had the skills to do so.
Before Tang Ziyi might have been reluctant to part with these small arms, she personally owned but after having Athena's existence, Tang Ziyi now had the ability to produce and customize any guns she liked.
"How does Instructor Tang own so many guns?" One of the guards asked curiously. Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu also felt the same and anticipated how Tang Ziyi would answer.
"I have a permit."
"How do you apply for it? Even with our military background…" The female guard paused but everyone understood the meaning.
"Well, I hacked the server and filled in the information myself. Here, from now on, with this paper, the company's bodyguard can legally wield firearms for the security." Tang Ziyi transferred the document she took out from her hand and showed it to the rest.
When everyone heard what Tang Ziyi said, they had blacklines over their forehead, with one singular thought going in the same frequency:
Please, sister, stop bragging about your illegal deeds in public. We know you're talented but please don't.
Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu had their eyelids twitched from Tang Ziyi's style. Even though everyone had quit working for the official department, it still felt weird to witness someone breaking the law in front of them.
Xiao Yue controlled her chuckle after seeing their reactions and interrupted the embarrassing atmosphere: "Sister Ziyi, what are these pistols for then?"
"While I take 10 of us, who had already trained with me for action, the rest also needed protection. These firearms should help you in case something goes wrong suddenly. I'm sorry I only have seven of these in my car." Tang Ziyi shrugged and replied. "Sister Yue, I believe this is the one you've used before."
Tang Ziyi gave her favorite sister, a different version from the Glock series, of which Xiao Yue held it during the gang fight at the initial entry into this world.
