Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system-Chapter 678: Perspective of Ling Qingyu

While Lin Fan's group thwarted the terrorists' attacks and impeded several of their advances through sheer luck and competence, Ling Qingyu and her girls weren't staying idle.

In fact, the former had no possibility of repelling the attacks apart from prolonging the fight until reinforcements arrived.

Minutes ago, just before the first stage of the attack began, Athena immediately informed her mother of her suspicion.

Seconds later, her daughter's conjecture became reality. When the news reached Ling Qingyu's ears, she struck her fist against the nearest piece of furniture, drawing attention:

"Absurd! Damn it!"

Xiao Yue furrowed her brows. Ling Qingyu always remained calm, even if a storm raged before her eyes.

Whatever had happened to make her lose composure must have been significant. In contrast, Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei were slightly frightened by the outburst.

They had never seen her turn warlike, though the latter had witnessed brutality during the last robbery.

However, the sudden disappearance of the usual gentleness exuding from Ling Qingyu silenced the entire aircraft—even the stewardesses began to panic, wondering if someone had made a mistake.

As she listened to Athena's further explanation, Ling Qingyu calmed down and thought of countermeasures.

She had never expected the black ops to be so ruthless, with not the slightest care for innocent, unrelated lives.

She had known in her past life—and even more so now, after broadening her horizons—that innocent people always perished in conflicts.

Bystanders were always the most unfortunate and pitiful victims. Nonetheless, casualties resulting from collateral damage and casualties inflicted intentionally to achieve a goal were two entirely different matters.

She could never accept the latter, regardless of any justification or so-called evidence that the killings would serve a greater good.

Even before the aircraft arrived at the airport, Ling Qingyu had already anticipated that the black ops would make a move against Carlos' nephew, as this was their last opportunity.

She had expected her Spirit Fox team to play a game of hide-and-seek, engaging in spy tactics before making an escape.

After all, she was going up against the apparatus of the world's strongest superpower—she couldn't afford to provoke them too much.

Not to mention, she was about to travel there in a few days to accompany Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei. Now, it seemed she had to reconsider leaving them behind.

She didn't want to expose any weaknesses. These matters would have to be decided later.

For now, she had to organize a direct rescue, suppress the so-called "terrorist attack," and prepare for the aftermath of offending Country A's black ops.

She and her girls would soon come under the scrutiny of the upper echelon. That would be problematic and completely opposed to Ling Qingyu's plans to remain low-key on the international stage.

Seeing Xiao Yue beckoning her for an answer, Ling Qingyu quickly explained that a terrorist attack was underway.

The explosions and gunfire confirmed her words. Waving her hand, she ordered the girls to gear up.

At the same time, she had sent rare weapons to a certain private room in case unexpected situations arose, from her bracelet.

Ling Qingyu still hadn't gotten rid of fear of lack of firepower. Mortars, RPGs, anti-tank and anti-aircraft included. Heavy weaponry was on stand-by.

In truth, she trusted that her girls wouldn't even need her support—they could handle the black ops with ease.

Sure, the enemy's skills weren't to be underestimated, but the need to masquerade as terrorists meant their equipment had taken a massive downgrade.

Soon, Spirit Fox operators suited up in heavy gear—or, more accurately, what Tang Ziyi categorized as medium-weight gear:

Lightweight: Kevlar vest, high-cut helmet, headset.

Medium-weight: An upgrade from the lightweight version, featuring a ballistic visor and thin shoulder armor—Spirit Fox members could decide individually whether to wear the latter.

Heavyweight: A real modern-era knight setup, with thick neck armor, Kevlar protection for the back of the neck, and reinforced shoulder and thigh armor—the outfit resembling that of a samurai.

Usually, medium-weight gear was sufficient for any operation, given the special materials used in its manufacturing.

Even a direct RPG hit wouldn't pose the slightest threat to those in the heavier option.

The firearms belonged to the FN type—SCAR MK17 and MK20—equipped with lasers, optics, and flashlights.

The MK17, chambered in 5.56mm, was an excellent choice for CQC, while the MK20, chambered in 7.62mm, was the designated marksman's weapon of choice.

The former was fitted with EO-Tech scope variants to cover short and long distances, while the latter had an 8x variable magnification scope.

As Spirit Fox gathered, the flight attendants stood frozen, gasping in shock and covering their mouths in fear, worried that speaking too much might lead to their silence—permanently.

No one expected these girls to be monsters, even though some had seen a few of them equipping gear when they landed on the Private Medical City Island—Star Hospital. However, this time, the entire group had transformed.

On the other hand, Mo Yunxi and Yin Jingfei pursed their lips, sharing the same thought—as expected, Spirit Fox belonged to Sister Ling.

Their suspicions were finally confirmed by Ling Qingyu's actions.

Although the current terrorist attack was dangerous, the two trusted Ling Qingyu's capabilities.

Only the flight attendants and pilots were visibly panicked by the sudden news, with the latter hoping to take off immediately.

Ling Qingyu reassured them and firmly warned them to stay inside the aircraft no matter what happened.

She had learned from Athena about the aircraft's defense systems and structural integrity—this was a mobile fortress.

Once everything was in place, Ling Qingyu immediately stated the mission objective: eliminate the terrorists and rescue as many civilians as possible.

"Don't take this lightly—these terrorists aren't ordinary. They're spec-ops from Country A in disguise. I won't provide any further information," Ling Qingyu waved her hand to silence the murmurs caused by the shocking revelation.

"It's not important in our case. Eliminate them first. Athena will post updates on your visors."

"What? How?"

"That's impossible." A stewardess from Country A voiced her disbelief.

Everyone, including Spirit Fox, was momentarily stunned. It wasn't that they doubted Ling Qingyu's intelligence, but the possibility seemed too far-fetched.

Of course, Ling Qingyu didn't care about the stewardesses' and pilots' opinions since their understanding was limited.

From Athena's analysis, Ling Qingyu grasped the multiple objectives behind the black ops' false flag operation:

First, they aimed to eliminate the potential threat—Carlos' nephew—and bury any secrets. Dead men tell no tales.

Second, by transferring the blame onto a specific insurgent group to be designated as terrorists, they could justify flooding Country E with weapons sales under particular provisions.

Naturally, Country E would declare war on the group, necessitating foreign aid—which meant the lobbyists backing the black ops could profit immensely.

Third, Country A's intelligence services would use the conflict to expand their network and amass wealth.

The longer the war dragged on, the more dependent Country E would become on their "protection."

Politically, economically, and legally, this was in Country A's best interest—despite its disgusting moral implications.

It was no surprise that this operation was sanctioned by the higher-ups.

Of course, not everyone within Country A supported it—the nation wasn't monolithic.

Factions existed, each vying for vested interests, with the military-industrial complex pulling the strings from the shadows.

However, they would never have guessed that Ling Qingyu's existence overturned everything.
