Chapter 194: Forgetful Yang Qingyue
Ling Qingyu and another equally gorgeous woman came into everyone's view. The other woman stayed at a threshold near the guards while Ling Qingyu stepped closer to their group.
They heard Ling Qingyu speak. "Sister Yang, what business brings you here with several officers? It's not to arrest me, right?"
Yang Qingyue chuckled. "Of course not, Sister Ling. I was planning to come alone, but my subordinates here are curious to know the identity of our station's donor." Yang Qingyue said. "Everyone has a smile after receiving your cars. Even I have to complain a little—too luxurious."
Ling Qingyu and Yang Qingyue were at arm's reach. The two appeared very close, exchanging smiles and pleasantries.
"Oh! Who doesn't like luxury goods? For the officers who uphold justice and are righteous, what's with my little gift?" Ling Qingyu turned toward the officers and greeted them. "Hello to you, as well, officers. I believe many citizens like me will think the same and contribute as much as I can to uphold justice."
The officers nodded back in greeting politely. Since they saw their chief and Ling Qingyu referred to each other as sisters, the relationship was indeed closer than they assumed. But they didn't take Ling Qingyu's words seriously.
If what she said was the truth, Province N shouldn't have suffered this much. If everyone had the same conscience as Ling Qingyu, the world would have been long peaceful.
"I heard there was a commotion between your group and my guards. I apologize if their behaviors breach your rights and ask for forgiveness." Ling Qingyu clasped her right hand over her chest. "They were a bit strict nowadays, even with me, since I nearly died in the assassination and the investigation shows the culprits are likely to be part of corrupted officials."
Yang Qingyue's subordinates were shocked to hear and glanced at their chief, who nodded, confirming the news. The officers waved their hands, stating they never minded their deeds.
If what Ling Qingyu spoke was the truth, the guards never overstepped. Putting in the guards' shoes, the officers also realized their behaviors might not be different.
The officers immediately expressed their worries and condolences, also promising to help her find the culprit.
"Don't worry. Sister Yang has also investigated and we'll soon know the identity of our suspect," said Ling Qingyu as she smiled and nodded.
Yang Qingyue curled her lips as she watched Ling Qingyu win over her officers and dispel their dissatisfaction. A natural-born political genius, to win a good impression from the surroundings.
Just a few words had placated her subordinates. Despite the policewomen's outer appearance expressing nonchalance, there might be some repulsion for how they were treated.
Ling Qingyu heard the events from Lin Xiao and solved them with a few words easily. Yang Qingyue silently gave a thumbs-up.
Ling Qingyu turned her head toward Yang Qingyue and said with a grin. "Sister Yang, I presume you're not here to simply bring your fellow officers and chat with me."
Yang Qingyu rubbed her cheeks. "Oh, my… I'm ashamed to say this about the last time. I was too eager to return to my station and forgot about the business." She said. "I haven't videotaped the three girls' confession for the court case and wrote the necessary paperwork."
Yang Qingyue added: "In addition, I plan to take the last batch of the police fleet and let them enter the service. My officers are already eager to take a ride on these vehicles out on the streets."

"Glad to hear your officers like them. Speaking of the girls, are you sure, they didn't need to be present in the court? I don't want those poor girls to face these criminals, laughing at their misery and proud of the criminal acts. I don't want to hurt their minds."
"Please don't worry, Sister Ling. Recording is enough," Yang Qingyue said.
"I'm relieved by your words, but I have known that only witnesses' testimony will be more effective than those electronics' evidence."
"It's true. The judges and the jury favored a human factor, with regards to evidence likely forged with electronic devices." Yang Qingyue nodded. "But that doesn't mean it can't be used as evidence."
Ling Qingyu waited for Yang Qingyue to continue: "Of course, humans can also lie and the oath is more of a ceremony. The judicial system still has loopholes. However, the three girls' case is just some protocols because the real issues come from the above pressing very hard. Sister Ling should know what's going on."
Ling Qingyu nodded. "I'll call the girls afterward. As for the fleet, You better wait for Sister Tang's presence. Even I don't know where she put the vehicles." She said. "Do you have any urgent business right now that needs to be dealt with back in your station?"
Yang Qingyue shook her head. "Then, it's better for you to wait. Oh right! Where's Sister Cai?" Ling Qingyu asked.
"That's the reason I'm free to move around today." Yang Qingyue laughed when she thought of Cai Ning's miserable face in complaint.
Ling Qingyu also chuckled.
"The time is nearly reaching noon very soon, I presume everyone hasn't finished lunch yet." Ling Qingyu suggested. "As a host, it's not good if others say, I didn't treat my guest very well. Come and have lunch while you wait for Sister Yang."
"That won't be necessary and I don't want to trouble Sister Ling." Yang Qingyue held Ling Qingyu's forearm to stop.
Ling Qingyu didn't struggle and even wished the time would stop. Yet, a gurgling interrupted the priceless moment. Everyone's eyes laid on Yang Qingyue's stomach, who blushed in embarrassment.
Rubbing the soft abdomen with her knuckles, Ling Qingyu teased Yang Qingyue. "Says someone who doesn't want trouble but your stomach asked for it."
Yang Qingyue brushed away Ling Qingyu's forearm and adjusted her uniform, staring at her subordinates, who froze in action after their snickers were discovered, and snorted, thinking of ways to deal with them afterward.
"Come, Sister Yang, have a meal while you're here. Think of it as my first treat." Ling Qingyu smiled and grasped Yang Qingyue's arms, then dragged her away as she walked to the dining hall. "The rest of the officers, please follow me. Don't worry about this guy's pretense. There's still a lot of time before you can do your job."
The officers exchanged glances and followed Ling Qingyu. It was better to agree to let their chief forget about their 'misdemeanor'.
Yang Qingyue didn't resist the notion but her eyes traveled toward Ling Yunxiang and asked. "Who's this little sister here?"
The ignored Ling Yunxiang, who was bored and helpless and remained quiet, instantly regained her energy after she was mentioned. She exclaimed inwardly. FINALLY! MY TURN!
Her sister was definitely forgetful. Disposing of the old and loving the new. She was now certain, her conclusion was the genuine truth. Her sister liked Yang Qingyue. It was so obvious.
How could no one see it? Ling Yunxiang didn't know Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, who discovered the situation from miles away, yet.
Ling Qingyu introduced her sister. "This is Ling Yunxiang, my sister." Her face reddened when she thought she neglected her sister.
"Hello, little sister." Yang Qingyue greeted. "Mind if I ask, I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Murmurs of agreement muttered from behind. Ling Yunxiang confessed without any fear, in spite of Ling Qingyu's apprehension.
"I'm an artist and my career is in the entertainment circle. Although I might not be so famous, you might have noticed my existence." She said. "Well, if you pay attention to the Entertainment Weibo, you should even know me."
"That famous!" Yang Qingyue was stunned.
One of the female officers behind her clapped and cried out. "I know her. She's currently the one, people cursed at her for being a slut and there's so many of her black materials."
It seemed this policewoman also liked wandering around on the entertainment news, Ling Qingyu and Ling Yunxiang had the same thought.
Yang Qingyue immediately sent a warning glance, causing the policewoman to cover her mouth. She was about to remedy her subordinate's remark when Ling Yunxiang replied.
"That's me. What do you think of me, now that you've seen me in person?" Ling Yunxiang admitted generously.
