Chapter 214: Fear of women in dangerous masculine job
If in the past, Tang Ziyi's group of girls didn't mind Ling Qingyu's travel plan. But after experiencing fierce shootouts, they found that they had underestimated the criminals in Province N.
Luckily, they were already equipped before they overturned the card one day. Despite knowing Yang Qingyue would take over the security process, they wouldn't agree if they couldn't equip themselves.
Thinking of the possibility, when opposing against these unscrupulous criminals like they did to the small gangs a few days ago, Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu shivered.
Should they lose the battle, the consequences were unimaginable, especially the situation where they were barehanded and the opponents possessed guns.
If they were men, it was just a matter of life and death. But for beautiful women, possessing heroic temperaments and strong abilities, these factors were tempting to the men among the underground forces.

Hadn't the rumor of Vermillion leaders having to fend off other factions proven the point? Although the situation was stalemate within several factions, the danger hadn't gone.
Just because the leader was a woman, they gave others a reason to attack. Although Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu weren't clear on how the female gang leader maintained the turmoil, they understood the situation remained unchanged.
Similarly, the female guards might suffer a deadly experience worse than death. Even if they wished to die, they couldn't. Such was likely the outcome for all sisters.
The possibilities weren't an exaggeration. It was the number one danger for any woman working in a masculine field, particularly in dangerous careers.
In war, torture and humiliation were the minimum results for female soldiers who became captives. But the upsetting part was that the civilian women also suffered no different under the oppression should the enemy behave worse than animals.
At least, the soldiers had the power and chance to fight back despite the unfortunate certainties if things went wrong. Not only in war, but in any dangerous sector with the possibility of losing life shared similarities.
Likewise, gangs were no different. They oppressed ordinary people around them. Even if they met a woman, they wouldn't spare her should they know they wouldn't suffer any consequences.
She wasn't fighting back but merely living her own life. There were many women, who suffered in their hands; some were even trafficked and lived a life worse than death. So, it could be said women faced more troubles than what they gained benefits from the status.
In fact, Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu thought too much. Without absolute certainty, Ling Qingyu would never have made a dangerous plan.
With the addition of Athena's reconnaissance ability plus Tang Ziyi's and Xiao Yue's expertise, every plan was perfect.
However, they could no longer act as before, not to mention that Yang Qingyue was monitoring them. Ling Qingyu lost some freedom but considering the benefits she gained, she didn't care.
So, her confidantes' worries didn't exist in her dictionary. Everything was foulproof. Ling Qingyu knew what the two military women were thinking when their expression displayed fear when mentioning their luck in the previous event.
She shook her head and smiled kindly. To be frank, she understood their perspectives, especially when her gender became the same; more considerations appeared in her mind.
Before she would laugh at people who said men were dangerous. Some even went on to the extent of suppressing the males' energy.
However, after staying in this world and having ascended to the higher perspectives, Ling Qingyu broadened her way of thought and felt genuine truth in the extreme ideology.
Men might be kind to women on a normal occasion. Once a power struggle happened they would ruthlessly suppress the females, particularly for those men in power.
Power corrupted people and bred evilness. These men would never allow others to check and balance their authority. For the ordinary family, each worked together for survival and no one wanted their sons and daughters to endure unequal treatment based on stereotypes.
Unless the women showed extreme talent and strength that surpassed most men and stepped on the pinnacles, their pathway always encountered obstacles and suppression from all sides.
Ling Qingyu could attest to this after her past experienced these before successfully standing on the pyramid. Although her level remained at the base of the pyramid for now, her eyes could already see the stairs leading upward.
When men had success like her, people would try to curry favor for benefits. But when the position was replaced by her, Ling Qingyu faced suppression as men merely thought of trying to ruin her and capture her crotch.
Their desires almost overwhelmed from their eyes as far as Ling Qingyu remembered no matter how they tried to hide.
Until she fought back fiercely and showed the edge of her sword, most took a step back and accepted Ling Qingyu. All women underwent the same process. Even then because of her retaliation, Ling Qingyu was called ruthless.
The problem became worse for her because of the beautiful appeal. If not for her cheap father's background deterring worst-case scenarios, Ling Qingyu felt her difficulties would rise.
Yet what saddened her the most was no woman landed a hand to support her journey. Despite knowing fully well, how arduous the journey for the same kind, they didn't even have the slightest thought.
Ling Qingyu reckoned women were more dangerous and not united at all. They never desired for another similarly powerful woman to display her capabilities and overshadow them.
She couldn't accept the behaviors of the men but she hated the vile snakes more. The world should become more peaceful if everyone gave a hand just for once.
Combining her past life and current one, Ling Qingyu learned a hard yet unacceptable answer. The phrase which dictated most men were kind and not dangerous seemed false.
Dangerous men weren't bad but most dangerous men without self-control easily became corrupted and brought trouble.
She discovered only 10-20 percent were truly good men in the modern world. It might be way worse in the older era, particularly in troubled times. Should an apocalypse-like disaster happen, Ling Qingyu couldn't bear to imagine.
10 percent were pure evil, referring to psychopaths and perilous criminals. The remaining percentage scared her.
If they weren't good and evil, what were they? The answer was simple, this majority group leaned toward any side depending on the circumstances. They were portrayed as innocent most of the time but who knew deep inside were the sinister thoughts, they themselves couldn't accept.
It wasn't without reason some historical context told human was born inherently evil. For instance, when the majority knew their actions suffered no repercussions, they easily became demons.
In the face of attractions and benefits, they were easily swayed. In a world without law and order, these groups were the most threatening.
All atrocities such as r@pe, torture, robbery, and killing could happen, should they realize their actions had little consequences. In the modern world, it was the firm and stable law which held the peace.
No need to look far. What occurred in the locations where wars erupted? Anything that normal human beings couldn't dare to imagine happened. Even a strong country with strict military discipline like Country A had to deal with these situations.
Ling Qingyu figured the only way to improve goodness was to teach children from young, the true good and stronger self-control. Although the lofty goals seemed far away, Ling Qingyu wanted to try to change the world.
Maybe it was hard to abolish evil but she refused to believe it was hard to raise the 10-20 percent good. Didn't people think flying in the past was impossible?
Ling Qingyu believed there wasn't impossibility but merely encountered a wrong path. Her body shook and Ling Qingyu gazed around.
She saw her confidantes looking down on her with worried expressions but when her eyes laid on Tang Ziyi, she almost cursed.
