Chapter 119 Pass
Chapter 119 Pass
"What exactly do you mean by that? I don't understand at all!" Cao Yu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment.
“Think about it, we’ve been here for half a day now. X City isn’t an ordinary place! We’ve seen that it’s a hellish place where women have absolutely no status! Generally speaking, the moment a woman steps into this city, she might be forcibly abducted in the blink of an eye. There, women are practically treated like livestock, and what’s worse, women don’t even have the freedom to leave the city…”
Hearing this, Cao Yu seemed to have grasped a crucial clue, and he eagerly pressed, "You mean... in such a harsh environment, once a girl enters X City, her chances of survival are practically nil. Yet, even so, the higher-ups still issued orders for her to carry out the mission?"
“That’s right!” Oz the Outcast said with certainty. “In my opinion, there’s definitely something seriously wrong with the higher-ups in your police department. They might even have drug lords planted informants among them.”
After hearing this, Cao Yu fell silent. He knew his police station was located in W City, which happened to be the closest city to X City. Looking back, the order to send He Yi undercover in X City had indeed been very firm and unquestionable.
However, at that time, he was unaware that the true situation in City X was so dangerous. Now that he has personally stepped into the city, he is shocked to realize that for his fiancée, He Yi, a weak woman, to successfully complete an undercover mission here was practically a pipe dream.
"No, I have to go back to W City! I need to investigate this!" Cao Yu's eyes flashed with anger. If it really was a setup, then he would kill more than just Cao Shou!
"Calm down, kid. Don't forget we're already in X City! We need a pass to get out! Let's find out what's going on first," Another Oz reassured him, while secretly calculating in his mind what it would be like if their boss, Another Decade, could take over as the leader of this place…
In this city where strength reigns supreme, to obtain a pass, one must at least become a minor leader in a certain area. However, this is not difficult for Cao Yu; he simply needs to kill the current minor leader and take his place. After all, here, strength is everything.
Just then, Cao Yu was pondering the details of his plan when, without noticing, someone darted past him like the wind.
"Cao Yu, he stole your phone!" Oz, the alien, shouted urgently from the side.
Hearing this, Cao Yu instantly snapped back to reality, and a surge of anger rushed to his head. That was the phone He Yi had specially given him! How dare this guy steal it? He's got a death wish!
"Stop running! Stop right there!" Cao Yu shouted angrily and took off chasing after the thief in the direction he had fled.
The thief ran frantically, secretly congratulating himself on his good luck and believing he would escape successfully. However, fate had other plans. As he passed by someone, that person suddenly stretched out a foot and tripped the thief precisely.
With a muffled thud, the thief, caught off guard, fell heavily to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.
“Master said that no restaurant can make money if the food is bad, and no evil can run rampant in this world.”
"Who is it? How dare you trip me up? You want to die?!" The thief, stumbling after being tripped, swore angrily. He swiftly drew a gleaming dagger from his waist, ready to strike. However, when he saw the face of the person who had tripped him, his face turned deathly pale.
"Brother Tian... Brother Tian!" the thief stammered, his voice filled with fear and disbelief. His legs trembled uncontrollably, as if he could barely stand.
The man known as "Brother Tian" remained unfazed, coldly watching the thief. Without hesitation, he swiftly kicked out, accurately stomping on the thief's knife-wielding hand. A painful scream rang out, and the dagger fell to the ground. Immediately afterward, Brother Tian deftly picked up the phone from the ground.
The thief looked full of regret, secretly lamenting his bad luck: "What terrible luck! Why did I have to come to Brother Tian's territory to steal?"
Just a week ago, this man named Tian Ge became the new manager of this small area, and subsequently issued and implemented a series of new rules and prohibitions. Unlike the previous chaotic and lawless rules, Tian Ge explicitly forbade anyone from committing crimes such as raping women or stealing property here.
Initially, the people in the area were extremely dissatisfied with these sudden restrictions and protested. Unfortunately, no one was able to defeat the man by force.
Therefore, despite their resentment, everyone had no choice but to swallow their anger, since any resistance would be futile in the face of absolute power.
"Get lost," the man said in a low voice.
The thief fled as if on the run, then casually tossed the phone to Cao Yu, who had just rushed to the scene.
"Thank you." Cao Yu stroked his phone, which was He Yi's keepsake. He hadn't expected to find someone with such a strong sense of justice in this place. He extended his hand: "Can we get to know each other? My name is Cao Yu."
"Tianxing." After a polite handshake, the man turned to leave. "Wait, Brother Tian, do you know where the local gang leader is?" Cao Yu asked.
"I am."
"Okay, thanks... Ah?" Cao Yu's eyes widened. This person in front of him was...?
This person just helped him, he can't just kill him, can he? He can't do that.
"I...I want to borrow...your pass," Cao Yu stammered.
"I see. But the pass is a one-time use pass. What will I use if I lend it to you?" Tianxing asked him with a smile.
“Why waste words with him? Just kill him. He’s just an ordinary person,” said Oz the Other.
"No, they helped me, I can't go back on my word," Cao Yu said to the alien Oz in his mind.
"I'm sorry, I'll look for someone else then." Cao Yu hurriedly left.
"Interesting." Tianxing smiled slightly. He thought the guy would just snatch it, but it seems he doesn't belong here. He followed him.
...
Lin Yue took the high-speed train back to Z City. She had vented her anger. In the end, she was still a child, and her temper flared up and subsided quickly.
She looked up and gazed out the car window; they had arrived in W city.
Since she couldn't get a direct ticket to Z city, she had no choice but to book a ticket to W city first, and then transfer there to Z city.
