Ye Ling hurriedly left the noisy celebration banquet. The lively cheers gradually faded behind her, receding like the tide.
The bright lights shone on her, but could not dispel the solemnity between her brows.
She looked at the cheering crowd with mixed feelings.
For her, the joy of victory was like the calm before the storm, short-lived and fragile.
An unprecedented pressure weighed heavily on her heart.
She walked quickly towards the Interstellar Alliance headquarters building, her steps firm, but with a hint of imperceptible anxiety.
In the conference room, the top leaders of the Interstellar Alliance were happily discussing their victory, completely unaware of the impending crisis.
"This time it's all thanks to Ye Ling, she's so young and promising!" A senior executive raised his glass with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, women are just as capable as men!" another senior executive echoed.
Ye Ling took a deep breath and interrupted their conversation: "Everyone, I have something important to report."
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ling.
She reported the information she had received previously, as well as her own analysis and inferences, to the senior management in detail.
However, the response from senior management left her disappointed and angry.
"Ye Ling, are you too nervous? These are just some minor fluctuations, no need to pay too much attention to them." A senior executive said disapprovingly.
"Yes, we have just achieved such a great victory, we should celebrate and not worry too much." Another senior executive also echoed.
Ye Ling argued: "This is not just a small fluctuation, it is very likely..."
"Alright, alright, Ye Ling, you've worked hard. Go back and rest first." A senior executive interrupted her impatiently, "We'll take care of these things."
Ye Ling looked at these high-ranking officials who turned a blind eye to the impending crisis, and felt powerless.
"Since you don't believe me, I will investigate it myself!" Ye Ling stood up suddenly, said in a firm tone, turned around and left the meeting room.
The senior executives looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them sneered, "Young people, you just can't keep your composure..."
Ye Ling walked out of the headquarters building quickly, with a determined look in her eyes.
"Just wait and see, I'll prove it to you!" she whispered to herself, and her figure disappeared into the night.
The communicator suddenly rang, and Irelia's anxious voice came: "Ye Ling, have you seen Fiona? She seems..."
Ye Ling is not the type of person who would sit and wait for others to slap her in the face. Since those old stubborn people in the Interstellar Alliance are not helpful, she will do it herself and have enough food and clothing!
Her victory in eliminating an interstellar smuggling ring made her a "celebrity" in the interstellar world, with a very developed network of contacts and intelligence.
She immediately contacted Garen. This guy had become her loyal fan since the last encirclement operation. When he heard the goddess' call, he immediately came happily. He was truly a "loyal little brother"!
"Sister Ling, what's the matter? Climbing a mountain of swords and descending a sea of fire, it's just a matter of one sentence!" Garen patted his chest and guaranteed, looking like "I can do it".
Ye Ling raised the corner of her mouth and threw him an encrypted chip: "Help me check this, be quick and handsome."
Galen took the chip, made an "OK" gesture, and ran away in an instant. His speed was faster than Bolt's.
At the same time, Ye Ling was not idle either. Based on the intelligence about the smuggling group that she had intercepted before, she locked onto several suspicious locations.
She knew that the crisis was extremely serious and she had to race against time.
"Ding ding ding—" Irelia's communication request was connected, and her tone was anxious: "Ye Ling, have you seen Fiona? She seems..."
Before he could finish his words, the communication was cut off.
Ye Ling's heart tightened. Although Miss Fiona was arrogant, she was sent by the Duan Yu family after all. If something really happened under her nose, it would be difficult to explain.
Ye Ling immediately rushed to the place where Fiona was last seen, and Galen also arrived in time with the investigation results.
As a result, when they arrived at the place, they saw several mechas that they had never seen before besieging Fiona. The mechas had strange shapes and unheard-of weapons. It was obvious that they were not easy to deal with.
"Oh my god, what kind of high-tech is this? It's even better than the equipment of the smuggling group!" Galen exclaimed.
Although Fiona was strong, she was outnumbered and was injured.
Ye Ling and Garen joined the battle without saying a word.
"Sister Ling, these guys' formation is so weird, like it was premeditated!" Garen shouted while dodging the attacks.
Ye Ling frowned. The coordination between these mechas was indeed very tacit, and their attack methods were unpredictable, which made her feel a little difficult to deal with.
Fiona's face became more and more ugly, and it was obvious that she could no longer hold on.
Suddenly, a mecha came around behind Fiona and fired a shot!
"Fiona!" Irelia's voice came from not far away. She drove the mech and stood in front of Fiona...
Irelia's mecha was hit by an energy cannon, sparks flying!
She groaned, and the mecha shook a few times, but miraculously stabilized.
"Fiona, are you okay?" Irelia's voice was a little weak.
Fiona was stunned. This woman who had always been at odds with her actually risked her life to save her?
"Why... did you save me?" Fiona's voice trembled a little.
"Stop talking nonsense and retreat!" Irelia said unhappily, but there was a hint of concern in her tone.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" The enemy mechas were pressing forward step by step. Ye Ling and Garen were fighting and retreating, and the situation was precarious.
