Chapter 384 Due vigilance
With a swift motion, Ling Qingyu ended the man's suffering, her actions swift and merciless. As his breathing ceased, she knew that justice had been served.
Two dead criminals, a better world for ordinary people. From their conversation, Ling Qingyu speculated they were once prisoners.
Yin Jingfei and two women shrank their necks witnessing the bright slaughter. The two women even stumbled back in fear yet Ling Qingyu didn't bother about their reactions. It wasn't surprising for ordinary people to suddenly encounter a brutal murder, even if the dead belonged to the parties that might threaten them.
People with good fates and careful nurture by adults since childhood respected life very much. But it became a stumbling block in a life-and-death scenario.
She was more worried about her Sister Yin. What if Yin Jingfei no longer looked at her like normal and stayed further away?
Fortunately, none of her worries manifested. Yin Jingfei sighed and hugged Ling Qingyu, murmuring her thanks. "You aren't hurt, right?"
"Of course not, I'm very strong." Ling Qingyu flexed her muscles, prompting giggles from the nurse. Her heart fell back to its original place, relieved Yin Jingfei had no psychological distress.
The two women also noticed their gaffe and apologized. "We're sorry, Miss. We know you meant the best but it's our first time."
"I understand. I don't mind your behavior at all." Ling Qingyu waved her hand and walked toward the weapons on the floor. "So, what do you two plan to do next?"
"Hmm…" One of the women scratched her hair. "I don't know. It feels so sudden."
"We don't even know what happened to the bank when four bastards came in out of nowhere and suppressed us."
"The bank heist is going on downstairs," answered Ling Qingyu, seeing their troubled and confused expressions.
The two were not too shocked but they despaired as they narrated what they went through. Ling Qingyu knew the emergency exit path was blocked by a few robbers, the same team as the two men she killed. Read new chapters at empire
Really, on a narrow road, the brave won. Behind and underneath, the numbers were too much for her to handle. At the front, she still didn't know how many robbers blocked her road.
"Luckily, you save us, Thank you very much." The two bowed.
"I did nothing. It's fate that we meet." Ling Qingyu smiled. "Though I don't want to drag you along, I have no choice now. Please listen to my words if you decide to follow us. Otherwise, I won't care if you court death."
"We understand. We'll obey your words and won't bring you troubles." The two women exchanged glances and replied.
"Good, it's best if you can promise." Ling Qingyu nodded. "Forgive my impoliteness just now, because I must emphasize the important factors."
Picking up the two AKs, Ling Qingyu snatched an extra magazine, each from the two fallen robbers. She carefully placed them behind her waist, strapped by her tight skirt.
Since the rifles had no slings, Ling Qingyu decided to carry only one. She manipulated the two weapons and chose the one that satisfied her. The other was quickly disassembled and its magazine kept in her 'pouch'.
The two women watched Ling Qingyu's skillful movements in marvel. They couldn't believe a woman could be so capable in areas where men usually excelled.

Only Yin Jingfei gulped and covered her mouth. She was too awestruck by Ling Qingyu's familiarity with weapons. Today brought too many shocks. First, Sister Ling could fight head-on with heavy-weight men.
Second, she knew guns and from Ling Qingyu's nonchalant aura, Yin Jingfei speculated Ling Qingyu had trained a lot in the past. A wealthy and strong CEO, who could fight in hand-to-hand combat and shoot guns, was the perfect figure, sought by many in those novels as a partner.
Ling Qingyu made her feel safe and reliable. A pity, she was a woman, Yin Jingfei stared at Sister Ling in a daze and sighed. "Sister Ling, you're too much. I feel like a firefly beside the great sun."
"Oh, I never knew Sister Yin could be so poetic," Ling Qingyu teased.
"If only you were a man," murmured Yin Jingfei, shaking her head.
"Huh—eh." Ling Qingyu's eyes widened. Though her Sister nurse whispered, she heard everything. "What do you say?"
Yin Jingfei blushed and lowered her head, her eyes flashing around to seek a pertinent answer which would save her situation.
"Have I seen you before, Miss?" A voice interrupted and Yin Jingfei recovered her smile.
Rolling her eyes at Yin Jingfei's luck, Ling Qingyu asked: "Well, you could've seen me a lot if you pay attention. Let me introduce myself—I'm Ling Qingyu."
Yin Jingfei and the three women followed across several corridors with silent steps under Ling Qingyu's lead. Watching Ling Qingyu snap the weapon around the corner and handle it in a professional manner, they would have regarded her as an ex-military specialist if they didn't know her biography.
Even in their laymen's eyes, her professionalism seemed unmatched. Yin Jingfei didn't think much but the two other women had their thoughts entering the illusory realm, secretly praising Ling Qingyu as a special soldier with a secret identity.
Their eyes hadn't recovered from the prior shock, Ling Qingyu had given after introducing herself. The only missing piece might be a helmet and kevlar armor to picture Ling Qingyu as a Special Force member.
Nonetheless, such performance and Ling Qingyu's identity didn't cause any issues, regarding trust so that she had no problems with the followers. The three depended on her completely.
Suddenly, Ling Qingyu signaled the girls behind to pause. Her nose smelled cigarette scent. There was someone nearby, probably robbers that the two women described.
No matter how they tried to walk quietly, they weren't professionals. The girls had likely given away their position so that only quietness remained. If not for the smell of recently burnt cigarettes indicating their presence, combined with the two women's narration, Ling Qingyu might be vigilant, but not cautious enough to expect robbers ahead.
Her lack of experience might draw the group into a trap.
