Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Chapter 557 Aftermath (edited)

Since the warehouse was cleared, Ling Qingyu ordered, "You can turn on the light now. Everything's secured."

The man's eyelid twitched, feeling fortunate that the night vision device covered his expression. This was more than just "secure," right? His eyes glanced at the miserable appearances of the men on the floor. He controlled his trembling hand and nodded. "Sure."

Ling Qingyu turned her gaze back to the girls, who had stuck together as if they believed that grouping would provide them with extra protection.

As Ling Qingyu started talking, the poor girls immediately exhaled their fear in relief. At least the green glowing eyes spoke human language—not the demon they had envisioned.

Furthermore, the speaker was another woman like them. Even if she exhibited violence toward the men, they weren't hurt. Nine out of ten guessed that Ling Qingyu was on their side. They felt refreshed seeing these men suffer.

Technically, they hadn't seen it clearly, but based on the whines and the sounds of friction against the floor, they had drawn the pictures in their minds.

"Girls, don't move and stay calm," Ling Qingyu exhaled heavily, having vented her anger. "I'm not going to hurt you. We are going to get you out of here." She controlled her tone to the lowest and softest, in contrast to the violence she had shown.

The girls didn't talk but tried to glance in the direction of the sound. They thought Ling Qingyu didn't notice their behavior. She wanted to chuckle but had to hold back because of the occasion. She shouldn't laugh.

The light bulb brightened again, and Ling Qingyu's eyes flared up. Thanks to the technology produced by Athena and Tang Ziyi, the device didn't fry up but merely caused a little discomfort to her eyes. She flipped up the quads and squinted, adjusting her pupils to the change in lighting. The girls looked away from the light as well, although the bulb wasn't that bright.@@@@

When they adapted and looked around, the girls gasped and covered their mouths. Perhaps they were hurt too much; they dared not produce a sound despite being shocked. Ling Qingyu pitied their psychological state—oppressed, bullied, and ordered around like slaves.

Okay, at least they still retained some liveliness instead of being numb. Being lively was better than gloominess. Although their screams weren't so intense that they were ashamed like little girls, these girls shouldn't have too many problems with psychological counseling afterward.

Ling Qingyu discovered only the camerawoman behaved abnormally. Oh, she forgot, this girl was also wearing clothes. Based on these MFs' words, Ling Qingyu could guess how much damage she had borne before being let go of her "work."

Again, Ling Qingyu reminded them that everything was over and listened to their stories. Sobbing and cries of grievances were unleashed as Ling Qingyu responded patiently. She even wondered if her previous blows were a little too merciful. Though these men would suffer until they died, these pains seemed not enough.

She let the girls kick and vent their grievances on the defenseless men, who were like demons haunting and playing with their souls in the past.

Initially, they were a little hesitant and afraid, but with Ling Qingyu's supportive eyes, they acted mercilessly. Kicking, stomping, and beating with sticks—who knew where they grasped them from.

Ling Qingyu reported the situation to Tang Ziyi and mentioned the possibility of being late.

The latter warned her not to compromise the position because of her noise. Since the current location was far away from residents, Ling Qingyu had no worries.

And Athena's satellite monitoring would check every heat signature—her computing power more meticulous than ten thousand IT soldiers standing in front of a screen. Not even cats and dogs were spared.

Hah! Because the technology level of the satellites was so high, Athena could detect tiny airflow and even insects.

The girls regained their courage and original thoughtfulness after hitting their nightmares and facing head-on, despite Ling Qingyu's assistance.

They felt more connected with the latter and began to share their stories.
