Chapter 286: Force on Force drills
Inside the eight-storey villa, where a new SWAT headquarters led by Su Ruomei was established. One of the office rooms.
Su Ruomei had called Azi to announce the good news so that the troubled girl could relax her string. Never had she felt so relaxed and fulfilled.
Compared to daily boring routines, well except for blood rushing fight with gangsters, Su Ruomei had helped someone in dire need.
Though Azi's reply sounded monotonous when she said thanks, Su Ruomei still sensed gratitude in her bland tone. Another Tsundere character belonging to her group in the future, Su Ruomei thought.
After having finished a phone call, Su Ruomei sat down on the office chair, leaning backward, stretched out her legs above the desk, and whistled lightly with her hands behind her head.
Today was indeed a wonderful day. When Su Ruomei squinted her eyes to take a leisurely rest, her ears perked, hearing commotion outside, shouts and rapid footsteps.
Was there any critical case? People seemed to be in a hurry. Receiving her legs, Su Ruomei stepped outside and grasped one of the guards running along. "What's going on? Some important case?"
"Chief, there isn't anything dangerous going on." The guard, held by a strong arm reacted and quickly answered. She understood Su Ruomei's question. "Don't worry it's just an entertaining commotion."
As the highest leader among the guards, Su Ruomei was quite influential and sisters called her, chief, as a gesture of respect and their willingness to follow her command.
"An entertainment? But you girls don't need to be this hasty, right?" Su Ruomei became more curious with the guards' intense reaction. Fortunately, those on duty stuck to their posts without requiring any further reiterations.
Otherwise, if the entire residence became undefended because of some fun, Su Ruomei would be the first to go crazy.
"Of course not, chief. You might not have heard of the event in the underground cleanhouse. We're having a force-on-force drill." The guard explained.
Force-on-force drill meant a simulated battlefield where the players with different factions shot against each other while sticking to the mission. Instead of a paper target or wooden board, the practice target became a human being, where skills, strategy, and reactions come into the game.
"What's strange with force on force drill?" Su Ruomei said blankly. Initially, she was also shocked on the first day when she saw and experienced guards shooting against each other and under the robot's fire suppression.
This was also the reason why Su Ruomei's expression didn't change when she saw the same scene as Ling Qingyu's group. They had witnessed and participated in the training once under Tang Ziyi's devil-like supervision.
From that day onward, Su Ruomei got used to these drills. Why was her subordinate making a fuss? Not one but an entire group?
"The drill isn't strange but the participants are." The guard said.
Su Ruomei had a guess, hearing the guard's words. And exactly proving her premonition the guard continued. "President Ling, Police Chief Yang and her assistant will participate."
"Oh!" Su Ruomei uttered as her interest grew. She knew Ling Qingyu started training this morning. It must be the idea of Tang Ziyi. "Is it Instructor Tang's decision?"
"Yes, Instructor Tang requested them to try out. I don't know how she persuaded President Ling though. The two policewomen are indeed eager to taste our skills. The three will be terrorists for us to eliminate." The guards smirked and chuckled.
Su Ruomei's lips twitched. She knew what persuasion method Tang Ziyi used based on the two's relationship. Poor Ling Qingyu. She wondered if Tang Ziyi was searching for abuse for Ling Qingyu. She was certain Tang Ziyi had bad taste.
Rubbing her forehead helplessly, Su Ruomei asked. "Then, why is everyone so keen to watch? It's not like you haven't seen your comrades' skills and teamwork."
"Gosh! It's absolutely different." The guard was nearly screaming in anguish, to show her point.
"What's different?" Su Ruomei cooperated and asked.
"President Ling usually remains cold like an iceberg and like a goddess above the heaven, everything is within her grasp." The guard's words caused Su Ruomei to nod. Indeed, the most admirable trait of Ling Qingyu never ceased to amaze everyone.
To be able to see through and understand a person's character. Rapidly forming strategic plans against any changes. Calm and composed no matter how dire the situation became. A strategic tactician or think-tank might be the correct words.
She could easily swim in the muddy water of the business world where many feared to step in. Based on Ling Qingyu's many movements in recent days, Su Ruomei somehow had a guess, that President Ling might be entering politics soon.
"Image the high goddess dragged away from the cold altar." The guard added. "This is once in a lifetime moment to see President Ling encountering an embarrassing moment. To see imperfection."
Su Ruomei's eyelids twitched. So, the main reason was to see others messed up. "Well, I hope you can say the same thing after I record your voice and show it to President Ling."
The guard's face paled. Her adorable expression cracked and she gulped, frightened of the coming future if President Ling noticed her behavior.
It didn't matter, she would confess her crime for leniency if this happened. She would happily sell her comrades to prevent them from committing more crimes. However, how could Su Ruomei, their nominal leader, have a black-bellied trait? It must be her mind not working properly.
The rest of the guards: !!!!
Laughing at her subordinate's reaction, Su Ruomei patted. "Go, go and watch. I'm just kidding around."
"Eh..Yes…Yes…Then I'm leaving." The guard nodded meekly and sped off, not even looking back once, worried Su Ruomei annulled the promise.
"What's wrong?" The voice belonged to Jiang Yu, neightbored to Su Ruomei's office.
"It's nothing. A small show—President Ling will be fighting against our subordinates during force-on-force drill." Su Ruomei turned her head and replied.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Let's go." Jiang Yu dragged Su Ruomei's arm and followed the guard's footsteps.
"???" Su Ruomei's face darkened. What was there to watch with excitement? She mourned for Ling Qingyu, having subordinates who possessed such bad traits to tease their own boss.
While many had the same views that their boss would be abused, some who had seen Ling Qingyu's fast learning pace were looking forward to seeing the miracle. Even then, they were also pessimistic about Ling Qingyu's ability.
In fact, no one except Tang Ziyi believed Ling Qingyu had the strength to resist.
...
In the cleanhouse below.
Ling Qingyu, Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning wandered around rooms after rooms to visualize the sketch and structure to plan to defend against the oncoming assault five minutes later.
The new room structure was constructed while the two teams prepared their equipment. Looking upward, Ling Qingyu saw spectators, watching from above and standing on the rectangular iron rail. through a layer of hardened glass.
The onlookers' size grew more and more, causing Ling Qingyu's face to darken. Seeing her expression, Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning laughed till their stomachs ached.
The reason was what Tang Ziyi said to the opposing team before their group entered the cleanhouse.
Tang Ziyi requested everyone to hit hard and not reduce difficulty on purpose because Ling Qingyu was their boss. They must show what the battlefield would look like so that Ling Qingyu could experience it personally.
Anyone seen giving ways would have their future days appeared like hell. Tang Ziyi warned to intensify more training, causing the guards to shiver. Of course, these weren't what caused Ling Qingyu's mood to ditch.
Tang Ziyi promised anyone who struck Ling Qingyu hard would be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, if they scored a hit.
Tang Ziyi must want to disgust her, Ling Qingyu thought. The act of using her own money to ask her subordinates to hit herself, Ling Qingyu wanted to vomit.
Tang Ziyi, wait a few years before she would press her underneath, Ling Qingyu swore.
