Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

To check the safety of the tunnel, in case, robbers left behind explosives, Athena sent in drones and robots but most lost connections except the one connected with wires. Everyone came in a hurry and no one had appropriate devices for particular missions.

Even the large reinforcement that arrived only brought these drones. It was better to wait for K9 units.

Upon this discovery people were speechless. How long did they dig? Fortunately, the wait was over and the temporary team gave chase with a dog leading the way.

Wow. Wow.

The police dog bolted out and the Spirit Foxes hurriedly followed. As for its master, his stamina and strength were a bit less, staying at the end of the team.

While guarding against any ambushes along the way, which was extremely unlikely, since the dog could detect other presence, Spirit Foxes advanced rapidly.

Given the dog's talented sense for an explosive device, the previous worry of being trapped after the tunnel collapse went away. Everyone remained alerted and pointed at the exit but the dog didn't stop.

The smell flushed in from the hole. Spirit Foxes wrinkled their noses and frowned. It smelled like sewage.

Indeed, through the hole, they heard large water flowing and combined with a smell, everyone had a guess and their hearts sank.

As they cleared outward, they were in the sewage tunnel. Apart from some light sieving through the hall was murky and dark.

The dog hovered around in a circle as it sniffed for the previous scent. Troubles arose. The smell had become difficult to attain even for a sensitive police dog, which was specifically trained for this arduous task.

Although the dog would pick up soon, time wasn't on their side. Even if they had the reason and authority to block traffic and check people's property, the governor might intervene as more people protested.

Whether to adhere to the votes or save their reputation, the governor would surely take action. Immediately, the team leader reported the situation and ended the radio chat.

"Damnit! We don't have time to hustle around. How long will it take to get your dog going?!" She asked in a harsh tone, scaring the dog handler.

"I don't know, it'll take at least 5-6 minutes before he can discern a direction," stammered the dog handler. "Especially in an environment like this where so many odors and strong chemical elements exist, 5-6 minutes is pretty fast."

Spirit Fox's reputation for fierceness and thoroughness spread in the police circle. He was excited to work alongside but when the agitated aura affected him, he felt scared, especially the woman's beautiful sharp eyes veiled under the hood. He had no idea why there was a chill.

After sighing, the woman apologized. "I'm sorry. You know things went wrong so many times that I'm a bit harsh."

"No, no. I totally understand. I heard some of your operators suffer an explosion. How are they?"

"They're fine. Honestly, I was also on the scene too." The woman shook her head as the group waited for the dog's movement. Although no one suffered heavy injuries, there was still a thing called PTSD. A close explosion would more or less affect people's thoughts.

Despite being persuaded to rest, this woman pressed on to catch the culprits. Apparently, her swinging mood was what others didn't like to see.

"Really?!" The dog handler was surprised and asked further about the event. A gist of what he had known was incomparable with what he heard from a first-hand account. A dozen operators guarded the surroundings with flashlights on.

Besides, spreading out in a convoluted and complicated network was no different from suicide and wasting extra time and energy, unless all operators above the ground ransacked everywhere in the tunnel.

Naturally, there were other K9 units too but they had other tasks to pursue. The one in a current manhunt was the best dog in the City N police force.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning whistled and shook their heads, frowning. Xiao Yue kept her eyes on the map. Tang Ziyi walked around lost in thoughts.

When the manhunt team reported the bad news, everyone rubbed their foreheads. Though expected based on Xiao Yue's conjecture, people retained hope that robbers were stupid enough to lead the tunnel directly to their hideout.

Pressures mounted up so high as time passed. Several calls from higher-ups came. Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning didn't care much but their subordinates were sweating—what if they lost the robbers' trail?

"So, these bastards were cleverer than we thought," said Yang Qingyue as she massaged her forehead.

"We already expect their intelligence from the moment our team made contact." Tang Ziyi shrugged.

"The previous guess based on the tunnel direction is obsolete." Cai Ning laughed and shook her head.

For the first time, Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning felt stressed, about solving a crime. They knew nothing and the interrogation results wouldn't come up fast.

"The best thing is to wait. We've done what we can." Xiao Yue was calm as ever as if everything was under her control. "We have locked down so many blocks; there's no way they can escape unless they put the loot somewhere safe and separate their paths before coming back again when the heat is over."

Tang Ziyi nodded and added: "That's a big if, if they could get out of the safe-house without being spotted by CCTV or our operators. My subordinates will check everyone and won't spare based on appearances. I hope Chief Yang can bear the aftermath."

"Of course, I'll do my job." Yang Qingyue nodded as a matter of agreement.

Xiao Yue: "We and they know it's only a matter of time before that safe-house is discovered. They can't hide the loot nearby because we'll find them even if they try to escape. So, I suspect they are making plans as we speak."

"Athena, patch me through and download the tunnel maps, all exits." Tang Ziyi opened her laptop and typed something. The screen quickly displayed a tunnel network diagram, overlapping satellite pictures of the city under lockdown. All exits and entries were visibly circled.

"Well, well, well. How can you come up so fast?" Yang Qingyue clicked her tongue and asked.

"A secret," Tang Ziyi teased with a hushed tone, covering her lips with her index finger though her face was hidden under the hood. With a click of another button, arrays of videos occupied the screen, all directed toward these entry points.

"Hold up, I haven't ask my subordinates to handover the CCTV authority to you…Not to mention, some of them don't seem to be public cameras…"

"Yes, sis. I have hacked into other devices as you thought. No need to thank me."

"You're really…" Yang Qingyue became speechless and looked around.

"Ahem—" some even coughed and splattered. Someone dared to commit crime in front of the police chief and proudly flaunted.

Cai Ning was amused as her subordinates flashed thumbs-up at Tang Ziyi's bravery. But the current funny atmosphere alleviated the tension among the officers, while many marveled at Spirit Fox's skills. They really meant what special force was.

Compared to the nearest counterpart SWAT, Spirit Fox excelled at everything. The officers now collectively agreed.
