Chapter 402 Coldblooded Athena
Ling Qingyu was about to leave to talk with her pilots, who she didn't even know, which was a bit ridiculous, since her focus was entirely on other realms. It seemed like she must build rapport with her subordinates, and not have so much distance.
Her movement paused when she remembered Yin Jingfei's case. Even though Yang Qingyue promised the results wouldn't disappoint Ling Qingyu.
She never depended on others for what she wanted to achieve. Period. She always kept a backhand. Now that backhand was obviously Athena, the only existence who could take action from afar.
Turning around, she asked for Athena's opinion. "My dear, what do you think could be the likely result if Sister Yang's mother takes action? Can it solve Yin Jingfei's siblings' crisis once and for all?"
Athena shook her head and Ling Qingyu wasn't disappointed. "No, Mom. The effect is minimal and only applicable for a short period of time. Afterward, everything depends on the man and his family. The nurse's sibling will be at their mercy once Aunt Yang's mother has her attention elsewhere."
Ling Qingyu nodded. Apparently, politicians behaved by the codes of compromise, seeking common grounds, which weren't actually bad, looking from a layman's perspective. But it left hidden dangers, especially in a system where corruption sank too deep.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Even if her mother-in-law fought for justice, she could turn a blind eye for the greater good or couldn't control the situation firmly. Yin Jingfei's poor siblings might be in danger by then if an enemy retaliated.
"You can hack into what she'll do next and inform me. Let's wait and decide what to do next. In the meantime, we'll prepare our actions and hope these aren't necessary."
Athena frowned and pursed her lips. "I highly doubt it, Mom. Even if Aunt Yang's mother exploits this opening to purge her opponents, it is still far from enough. For instance, that guy might be in jail but his dissatisfaction can prompt others to take action against the sibling. Of course, these are just probabilities and his idea might change based on Aunt Yang's mother's prestige and deterrence."
"Indeed, to be honest, bringing the bastard to jail is far from enough for what he'd done." Ling Qingyu lowered her chin and thought. "I feel like you have something on your mind." Experience tales at empire
"As expected of Mom, you can read me thoroughly." Athena smiled and flattered. "Cut the roots and the problem is solved."
Ling Qingyu's eyes widened. She couldn't believe Athena possessed or, more suited to say, inherited her dark attributes, especially when Athena mimicked the beheading gesture, sending chills down her spine.
However, those men, who abused power for their lust and harmed others, deserved such punishment. A simple jail time wasn't enough; an equalizer was needed.
Actually, Ling Qingyu slightly condescended Yin Jingfei's sister for her money-hungry behavior. If not for her relationship with Sister Yin, she might not even think about taking action.
Nonetheless, when Ling Qingyu read the bastard's history, her blood boiled. This girl wasn't the first; there were many others. Drugs were the greatest danger here, causing many women and men hard to extricate themselves out of the pit filled with corpses.
She already foresaw Yin Jingfei's sister being manipulated through drugs by her 'close friends' and sank into the abyss deeper as time passed if she let it go. Even a therapist might not be able to save her sanity. Fortunately, the younger brother was reliable and made things loud, attracting Yin Jingfei's attention so that hidden danger was prevented easily and early.
"So, Athena, you plan to send the whole family to jail?"
"I can manipulate this as long as Mom nods your head."
"We'll discuss this issue later based on Sister Yang's side's action." Ling Qingyu replied. "If I say, if I want to create fear in those types of men and avenge the poor women, who suffered terribly, what should I do?"
Ling Qingyu really wanted to be ruthless but her actions would never be hidden if she did so. For the total strangers, who she never met, the risk wasn't worth it but she liked to try. And also, she wanted to test Athena too.
"You mean these similar types who harm women?"
"Yes, those who ruin other families and destroy someone's future with their power; that also includes kidnappers too and the low-level criminals." Ling Qingyu paused. "Without being noticed, I want to take action across the country."
"What kind of action?"
Ling Qingyu hesitated as she stared at Athena's eyes. "Torture and killing. Well, forget about the former since we'll be exposed and make future actions difficult."
"Actually, Mom, are you thinking too much?" Athena scratched her head, very cute. Ling Qingyu almost lost concentration and melted under her daughter's weapon. "Why don't we send assassins?"
"My dear! It's not going to be simple if the central government focuses on us. It's never going to be singular but a killing spree. Sooner or later, we'll be investigated." Ling Qingyu shook her head at Athena's whimsical thought.
"Why can't I? I can manipulate footage networks to erase or forge one to fool the government so that there won't be any proof. I can use cybermoney through multiple layers so that no one can track our money as we hire assassins while I guide them from a secret channel in case they get caught which I find it highly unlikely.
I can support relevant equipment to complete their task till the assailants escape from Country C or disappear from sight though the last one requires detailed refinement. Nobody knows who hit them and why because we aren't there in the first place."
Holy shit, Ling Qingyu suffered a slight dizziness. She never expected Athena to think so far and looked at her daughter with a complicated gaze. "How on earth can you think so much?"
In her heart, Athena had become increasingly dangerous somehow. Yet, she didn't see any threat because she had full control. Athena mimicked her, both showing positivity when required and being ruthless toward the enemy.
"Mom, it's not like you don't know how dark net and forbidden servers operate." Athena hummed with pride, not aware her mother was thinking about trying to deliver a sermon. "I just fill in the original gaps."
The plan was feasible in Ling Qingyu's opinion. Athena's detailed explanation broadened her perspectives. The advances in AI changed everything. Athena's power seemed more like a blow from higher dimensions: the so-called strong evidence became weak. What would the future hold for justice?
"Okay, sounds good. Let's archive this one for the future." Ling Qingyu accepted Athena's suggestion. The two laid out a grand scheme for a nationwide purge of people who abused power to harm women and destroy other's families for their erotic ideals. They would never know till death who they offended and why they died.
In the future, malicious womanizers, who exploit powers for their inhumane desires will die one after another, no matter their backing, high and low, from various average accidents. Electric shocks, cars losing brakes, fire burn, drunk driving...etc,
Each life lost brought shock to the family since everyone understood mass deaths of similar people was never a coincidence; someone was targeting them. But to no avail despite launching a nationwide investigation, nothing stopped. Even if given protection, somehow accidents managed to catch them like fate or god punishment for their sin.
What do you think?
