Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 123 Human Traffickers

These people whispered to each other, their voices not loud, but like a swarm of buzzing bees.

"Looking at such a young girl, how could she be so foolish as to become someone's mistress? It's absolutely wrong!"

"That's right! Look at this girl, she's quite pretty and delicate, but she's so improper!"

Even worse, some people focused their attention on Lin Yue's clothes and made "tsk tsk tsk" sounds: "Look at what she's wearing, that skirt is way too short, she doesn't look like a decent woman at all! In my opinion, she's definitely one of those vixens who seduce men!"

For a moment, the crowd of onlookers was buzzing with discussion, creating quite a stir. Although most people were just watching the drama unfold and pointing fingers, a few self-proclaimed righteous and well-meaning individuals couldn't resist and rolled up their sleeves, ready to lay a hand on Lin Yue.

Li Yuetian, who had been protecting Lin Yue, could no longer stand the nonsense and unfounded accusations from those around him. He was so angry that his face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he glared fiercely at everyone around him: "You think you can just believe whatever people say? Don't you all have brains?!" Lin Yue would never do such a despicable thing!

"Yue Tian, ​​this guy might be a human trafficker!" Lin Yue's beautiful eyes stared coldly at the person on the ground, her gaze as sharp as a cold star. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was like a thunderclap, clearly reaching the ears of every onlooker.

"Human traffickers?" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Their steps, which were originally eager to step forward to help, immediately stopped. They looked at each other, their faces showing suspicion.

Just then, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped out from the crowd. His face was gloomy and his eyes were shifty. He said in a low voice, "Young lady, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. You're clearly a mistress who broke up someone else's family, yet you have the nerve to slander the original wife as a human trafficker. It's disgusting!"

Upon hearing this, the woman lying on the ground immediately perked up. Struggling to her feet, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "That's right! You shameless vixen, how dare you be so arrogant and domineering! Good heavens, is there no justice left?! Back then, I stood by my husband through thick and thin, eating pickled vegetables and selling things on the street, finally managing to make it through and enjoy a few days of peace. But what did he do? He secretly kept you, this little devil, behind my back! He bought you a coat worth 50,000 yuan without even blinking an eye!"

This middle-aged woman was indeed a seasoned veteran; her mind worked incredibly fast. She knew that people were most interested in such emotional disputes, so she seized on this point and tried to evoke sympathy and indignation from those around her.

Sure enough, her tearful pleas successfully attracted the attention of many onlookers. People began to whisper and murmur among themselves, and their gazes towards Lin Yue gradually became filled with disdain and contempt.

"Tch, what a hassle!" Lin Yue frowned, muttering angrily. She wasn't the kind of person who was eloquent or persuasive; in fact, one could say she was rather tongue-tied. Faced with this chaotic situation, she only felt a surge of frustration.

Just then, Li Yuetian snorted coldly, pulled out his phone without a word, and made as if to dial the police. "Fine, since you're being unreasonable, then let the police handle it!" He was angry too!

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man panicked instantly. He had initially thought they were just an ordinary couple, easy to bully. At this moment, the woman who had been sitting on the ground crying stopped, and a clear look of panic flashed in her eyes.

Looking at their panicked expressions, Lin Yue couldn't help but sneer. "What? Are you scared now? Weren't you just calling me a mistress?" She crossed her arms, staring sharply at the two people in front of her, showing no sign of backing down.

"I'm sorry, we...we think we've mistaken you for someone else," the woman stammered, her face filled with fear and regret. As she spoke, she scrambled to her feet and turned to run away.

"You think you can just walk away so easily after being wronged? Falsely accusing someone is a serious crime! If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving here!" She shouted angrily, her eyes wide.

The surrounding crowd, who had been confused at first, suddenly realized what was going on after hearing these words and considering the current situation: the woman was lying and framing an innocent girl! It seemed she really was a human trafficker! Everyone pointed and whispered among themselves.

Soon, a kind-hearted person brought two police officers from the vicinity who were responsible for maintaining public order to come here!

The moment the woman saw the police, her face turned deathly pale, and she began to tremble violently. Terrified, she turned to the man beside her and desperately tried to signal to him with her eyes.

The man understood immediately. He swiftly reached into his pocket and pulled out a gleaming knife. In a flash, blade in hand, he pounced on Lin Yue like a hungry tiger, attempting to take her hostage! At the same time, the woman seized the opportunity, running at breakneck speed towards the van parked nearby!

Lin Yue had already seen through the other party's scheme—this man clearly wanted to create chaos to buy time so that the woman could escape!

Suddenly, she kicked out. Her shoe detached from her foot, shooting out like a cannonball, and with lightning speed, slammed into the woman who was desperately trying to escape. With a muffled thud, the woman groaned from the sudden blow and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the van driver, like a frightened bird, slammed on the gas pedal, and the van sped away like a wild horse.

Seeing that the woman had collapsed and was no longer able to get up, the people in the car knew in their hearts that things were bad. They knew that this was not a place to stay for long, and if they delayed any longer, they themselves might not be able to escape this terrible situation. So, without hesitation, they chose to abandon their companions and drive away in a panic.

On the other side, the man was instantly enraged. His eyes widened, his face contorted with rage, and he gripped a sharp longsword tightly, slashing fiercely at Lin Yue: "You bitch, you ruined my plans! Die!"

"Lin Yue, watch out!" Without thinking, Li Yuetian rushed forward. He spread his arms and used his broad body to shield Lin Yue without hesitation.

Looking at the boy who had risked his life to protect her, Lin Yue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She was slightly moved, and her right hand, which had been hanging by her side, trembled almost imperceptibly.

In an instant, a wisp of invisible true energy silently surged from her palm and shot straight into the man's body like lightning.

"Ugh!" With a low, painful roar, the man's steps suddenly stopped, as if he had been struck by an invisible force.

At the same time, the gleaming blade in his hand, which was originally slashing fiercely towards the target, was now deviated from its original trajectory due to the sudden change, and only lightly grazed Li Yuetian's left shoulder.

However, this seemingly slight graze caused Li Yuetian a burning pain. Fortunately, it did not cause him any harm.
