BXBX NOVEL Chapter 309 Athena's intro
She worked as the team leader of the security department. She had interacted daily with several staff members from all walks of life.
Before Ling Qingyu made a change and upgraded the security guards, Su Ruomei thought to spend peacefully and experienced different people while she stayed low in the background.
However, things began to change when Ling Qingyu had an accident. Now, it worsened especially when someone dared to hurt their family members. Yes, in Ling Qingyu's workspace, the cohesion between colleagues was high. extremely rarely, a hateful person appeared. Once it occurred, that person was out, no matter what talents or the ability he or she had.
Ling Qingyu preferred unity over skills. Loyalty above everything else. Naturally, in the modern world, loyalty was hard to find. So long as people believed in her and trusted her prestige and integrity, she deemed the results acceptable.
Taking a deep breath, Su Ruomei sighed. Another fight was on the way. She glanced at Jiang Yu on her right. "Except those responsible for areas around the company and some who must guard the residence, call back our sisters. We've got work to do."
Jiang Yu nodded and sprung into action, bolting out of the door. No questions asked. Though she heard nothing from the conversation on the phone, Su Ruomei's expression was serious.
Since her senior sister was urgent, Jiang Yu had to complete the task perfectly and started to make several calls on the radio. The guards were now fully equipped with radios and a perfect communication system.
With Athena's and Tang Ziyi's existence, there was nothing lacking. While Jiang Yu went out for an errand, Su Ruomei's phone in her hand vibrated.
She glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number. Having been informed, she knew this was the contact Ling Qingyu wanted her to connect.
In fact, Athena had a bad taste trying to launch a mysterious entry and fill in the requirements of her mother.
"Hello, who's this?" Su Ruomei answered.
"It's Athena." An elegant yet strong voice of a female replied.
Continue your journey with empire
"Call sign Athena?" Su Ruomei's brows raised. The name sounded so powerful. Who was it? However, knowing there was another woman working in the same field, Su Ruomei's favorability rose.
"I'll be your eyes and ears in this mission and the later ones. Looking forward to cooperation." Athena showed some formalities and pretended to be a big guy.
"Glad to have your help." Su Ruomei replied. Someone who Ling Qingyu showed seriousness couldn't be underestimated. The same applied to Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue.
"Of course, let's drop the formalities aside. I have to apologize for not being able to meet you face-to-face and communicate through network instead." Athena said.
"Haha, I don't mind. I'm glad to have someone extra helpful anyway. But it's better if you tell me in detail, what assets can you provide?" Su Ruomei thought this woman couldn't be underestimated. Her communication skills had abridged the distance between the two strangers meeting for the first time.
"Of course, you can regard me as a powerful hacker and battlefield tactician," Athena said in an amusing tone.
"Oh!" Su Ruomei was stunned. Another hacker more powerful than Sister Tang? "So, what do we do next? I've asked sisters to gather and prepare."
"Well, nothing yet because we still have no idea which targets they intend to strike or exhibit simultaneous attack?" Athena said.
"Um?" Su Ruomei pursed her lips and uttered. Then, why were they preparing to lock and load?
"Ahem…I didn't finish my word yet." Athena coughed and immediately remedied, noticing Su Ruomei's strangeness. "This news that the enemy leader gave orders to attack was just half an hour ago. And it was a vague one. I still need time to decipher the precise targets."
Su Ruomei's expression returned to normal after understanding the scenario. At the same time, she was amazed at Athena's resourcefulness and the team behind.
In any operation, intelligence gathering and logistic support were vital. Su Ruomei already trusted Athena's capability in addition to her confidence in Ling Qingyu's leadership.
Furthermore, she was impressed that Athena obtained advantageous data within a short period of time, which was really the hardest aspect. From the tone of Athena, Su Ruomei sensed confidence and everything under control.
If not for the cough just now dissipating the elite intellectual shown in the early stage, Su Ruomei even suspected Athena was one of the superiors from the military.
"If you aren't here, how am I going to connect with you, especially during the mission?" Su Ruomei asked.
"Don't worry, I can patch through any of your radios. It's only not to scare you that I personally call you." Athena said.
Su Ruomei's forehead bulged. Did she just hear the pride contained in the sentence? Why did she sense cuteness on the other side of the line?
Athena had no idea Su Ruomei pictured her existence as a cute arrogant girl, needing love and continued. "Just brief your sisters and go out patrolling around. Separate the teams. I'll give recommendations but the choice is in your hands."
"Understood. Any updates, patch me up." Su Ruomei nodded.
"Will do. For now, let me stay on the targets." Athena cut off the connection.
Su Ruomei put down her phone, deep in thought. This time, she had to lead everyone. She had done similar posts but none ever required combat.
Heaving in a long breath, Su Ruomei relaxed. Jiang Yu entered the room again to tell her everyone was informed and returning.
Because of the urgency in Su Ruomei's tone, Jiang Yu also hurried the returning sisters. Su Ruomei curled her lips in satisfaction and praised sincerely. "You did a great job. You'll take charge of a second team by the way."
Amidst Jiang Yu's confusion, Su Ruomei explained everything. Likewise, she also had the same anger upon hearing the possible attack on someone she knew.
Although her eyes were mostly on her senior sister, there were still some, with whom she interacted, who had their lives threatened. She admitted it was mostly Su Ruomei's zeal that she participated.
Soon, the sisters regrouped. One car after another, those in patrol duty returned while a few nearby had already arrived. Su Ruomei summoned the oldest generation, her comrades, to tackle the task.
Because the operation could become large at any moment, she decided to let a few older generations lead several new ones. Though some cohesive factors might be disrupted, the girls should adjust shortly afterward.
After arranging teams and their members, Su Ruomei drove the guards to equip the necessary tools according to the mission requirement and briefed everything.
The senior ones were calm in contrast to the excited and nervous newbies. Su Ruomei smiled at their response. She was in charge of them and must take great care of them naturally.
Everyone had special-purpose clothing or fragsuits, vests, and guns along with helmets wrapped under their arms as they listened to her speech.
Still, several minutes had passed and there was no news from Athena. But time waited for no one. She ordered everyone to enter the vehicle according to their respective teams.
This time the group would travel via ordinary vans. There was no need for large overpowered MRAPs. Covert was fundamental in this mission.
