Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 120 Trouble is something you can't stop.

Lin Yue slowly stepped off the high-speed train, glanced at the electronic display screen, and saw that there was still an hour before her connecting high-speed train to Z City departed. She sighed softly, too lazy to wander around anymore, so she decided to quietly while away the long hours at the station in W City.

It was midday on a Friday, and the station was bustling with people, some hurrying along, others leisurely strolling. Lin Yue struggled through the crowd, her gaze sweeping over the shops before finally settling on a burger joint tucked away in a corner of the station.

Lin Yue walked into the store and found a seat by the window. She slowly turned on her phone, and the first thing she saw when the screen lit up was a series of messages from Li Yuetian.

"Why did you take leave? What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Then another message followed: "That guy Ye Chen actually dared to ask me about you! Humph, I punched him without saying a word! How about that? Doesn't it feel satisfying? Haha!" She could almost see Li Yuetian's smug expression.

The last sentence was: "Why haven't you replied? I'm really worried about you." The concern in his voice grew even stronger.

Upon seeing the name, Lin Yue's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her mood seemed to lighten and brighten.

For some reason, this guy was becoming increasingly unserious in front of her. Despite this, Lin Yue never felt truly angry.

Not only that, every time she saw Li Yuetian's smiling face, she felt an urge to punch him a few times, as if only in this way could she completely dispel the pent-up anger in her heart. Fortunately, at crucial moments, Lin Yue was always able to suppress this impulse with her strong self-control, unless the other party acted out.

Lin Yue briefly explained the situation, and then Li Yuetian called.

On the phone, he kept talking about Ye Chen's expression after he punched her, and she suddenly realized that Li Yuetian was a really interesting person.

"By the way, Lin Yue, do you remember my good brother Zheng Sheng? He's dating Wei Siyu, who sits in front of me."

“I know about this, what’s wrong?” Lin Yue asked.

"They made plans to go to the movies together tomorrow, and they even bought the tickets! But guess what? Their relationship was discovered!"

"Hahaha, that's hilarious, you two idiots!" Lin Yue covered her mouth and chuckled.

"So neither of them can go out tomorrow! Zheng Sheng gave me both movie tickets! I don't think they should go to waste," Li Yuetian said solemnly.

"So what do you plan to do?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"I'd like to invite you to come with me!" Li Yuetian waited expectantly for Lin Yue's reply.

Lin Yue bit her lip, hesitant and conflicted. She wondered if it would be strange to go out alone with Li Yuetian. Li Yuetian quickly tried to smooth things over: "I originally wanted to take Lu Chen along, but he's a senior in high school and his family enrolled him in tutoring classes, so he can't go! None of my brothers can go either."

"It'll be so boring for me to go to the movies alone, and I'll just have to waste this ticket! Can you do me a favor?" Li Yuetian pleaded.

When the topic of helping came up, she thought of a few things.

When she was being followed before, she hired a private investigator. The investigator found out that Faiz had intercepted the person following her, but he couldn't find out Faiz's identity.

Lin Yue understood immediately; Faiz was none other than Li Yuetian! And last time, when Wang Hao and the other two cornered her in an alley, it was Li Yuetian who helped her.

She hadn't actually done anything to thank him, and thinking about it, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

"Okay." Lin Yue said with a smile, "I'll be there on time tomorrow at the time and place!"

After saying goodbye and confirming the time and place, Li Yuetian hung up the phone. The moment the call ended, Li Yuetian jumped up and down excitedly.

"Don't get too excited! Let's think about what to do tomorrow first!" Zheng Sheng patted him on the shoulder. If Li Yuetian hadn't been caught dating, he wouldn't have had this opportunity!

"Thanks, my good brother! I'll treat you to a meal sometime!"

...

Nearly an hour passed before Lin Yue got into the car. She looked back but saw nothing.

"Am I mistaken?" Lin Yue shook her head and boarded the high-speed train. It was her first time in W City; how could anyone possibly recognize her?

...

"Hello, is this the deputy director?" A deep and slightly authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, brother, what's the matter?" the deputy director replied with a forced smile.

"The woman you brought over last time was indeed quite good, but our boss is already tired of that type. This time, the boss has spoken; he wants to play around with high school girls." The other person's tone sounded somewhat urgent and excited.

"Hehehe, it would be great if the boss was satisfied, but you know how difficult it is to find the right one. But don't worry, I'll do my best. Speaking of which, that woman I gave the boss last time was a well-known beauty in our department. But coincidentally, I saw a pretty one at the train station today..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't give me this drivel. Since you have her, hurry up and find a way to bring her over. Don't keep the boss waiting impatiently!" The person on the other end of the phone clearly had no patience to listen to his rambling.

“Okay, okay, you’re right, brother. But… about that thing I asked you to do before…” the deputy director asked cautiously.

"Oh, you mean the bureau chief thing? Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits. That current bureau chief will be taken care of by our people sooner or later, and then the new bureau chief position in W City will naturally be yours!"

"Alright, alright, thanks for the offer, brother! I'll figure out how to get this student right away, I promise I won't let you and the boss down!" After hanging up the phone, the deputy director revealed a smug and sinister smile.

“The girls in Z City…” he muttered to himself.

...

Cao Yu hurried to another area, a dark and damp place filled with a putrid smell. He needed to find the local leader.

Just as he was walking through a narrow and dimly lit alley, two menacing figures suddenly jumped out and blocked his way.

"Hey, robbery! If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables right now!" one of the men, a burly man with a fierce face, shouted, his voice echoing in the quiet alley.

Cao Yu frowned slightly, not even glancing at them, and continued walking forward without stopping.

“No,” he replied coldly, as if the two robbers didn’t exist at all.

"No?" Upon seeing this, the other man's face turned ferocious. He suddenly threw a punch, aiming straight for Cao Yu's face, while viciously cursing, "You dare to swagger past here without any money? Don't you know this is our territory?"

However, this punch was like hitting an incredibly hard iron plate; Cao Yu didn't budge an inch, and his expression didn't even change.

In an instant, Cao Yu's anger flared up. These two people had actually dared to provoke him!

"Are you courting death?" With a roar, Cao Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with an eerie red light. Immediately afterward, a thick, inky black mist surged from his body, enveloping him completely. In the blink of an eye, his body underwent a startling transformation: his muscles swelled, his bones twisted, and he became the monstrous Oz!
