Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 172 The Cage

He secretly instructed his subordinates to cleverly create a seemingly unintentional loophole, and its target was Chi Xiaoyu.

As expected, the naive Chi Xiaoyu failed to see through the trick. She seized this rare opportunity to escape and fled the predicament without hesitation. However, all of this was under his control.

Immediately afterwards, he deliberately arranged for a butler to assist Chi Xiaoyu. This butler not only successfully rescued the imprisoned Chi Shuyao, but also thoughtfully planned an escape route for them and escorted them safely to Z City.

After confirming that Chi Xiaoyu and Chi Shuyao had successfully escaped, Gu Yonghui, who had been observing everything from the shadows, finally revealed a sly smile that was hard to detect.

He stood in front of Chi Shuyao's empty ward in the mental hospital, calmly pressed the call button, and dialed Gu Chenfeng, who was busy at the company.

The call was quickly answered, and Gu Chenfeng's slightly tired but still steady voice came through: "Hello?"

Gu Yonghui feigned surprise and said, "Brother, I'm in a mental hospital right now, but strangely, there's not a soul in Chi Shuyao's room. Did you take her home?" As he spoke, he tried to hide the smile that was gradually spreading in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenfeng on the other end of the phone was struck dumb, his anger erupting like a volcano. He roared, "What did you say?!"

He slammed down the phone. At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot, filled with endless killing intent, and the murderous aura emanating from him seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Enraged, Gu Chenfeng quickly dialed another number and gave a few brief orders to the person on the other end. After giving his instructions, he rushed out of the room like a wild beast, anxiously searching for Chi Xiaoyu and Chi Shuyao.

However, no matter how hard he tried to find them, it was destined to be in vain. Under Gu Yonghui's flawless cover, the two women had already fled. And this was exactly what Gu Yonghui had anticipated.

Gu Yonghui was satisfied with everything that had happened. Everything was going according to plan, and he had quite a few people in the company. However, his older brother had always been very good to him since childhood, and he still couldn't bring himself to be ruthless towards Gu Chenfeng.

...

After the Zhou family visited, Lin Mu explained the situation to the Knights Association.

As a great contributor, the Knights Association naturally valued her highly. However, they did not expect such a thing to happen, and they quickly dispatched people to guard the hospital day and night.

Zhuang Changwu hasn't come again; he's been very busy lately.

Lin Yue gave him the White Emperor Decade Rider Watch, which contained the power of the old decade. When he used the Decade armor to control the Heisei sword, switching to the corresponding old decade Kamen Rider power on it to defeat the corresponding Another Rider also counted as a defeat condition.

Three weeks have passed since Lin Yue became a vegetable, and she still shows no signs of waking up.

Another Riders have appeared quite frequently, and for some unknown reason, several of them have been linked to extremely vicious individuals, which has made things much easier for the Knights Association.

Shojou has successively acquired the Rider Watches for Den-O, Forty Riders, Wizard Riders, Gaim, Rider X, and Exyde, bringing him closer and closer to completing his collection of all the Heisei main Rider Watches.

...

Li Yuetian hasn't been sleeping well these past few days.

Although it was the National Day holiday, in addition to the alien knights, the monsters outside the barrier had also launched frequent attacks recently. Yun Xiling and Lin Mu had no choice but to reluctantly head to the battlefield.

Yun Xiling and Lin Mu are two separate entities, so they cannot be separated. These past few days, Li Yuetian and his sister, along with Tang Wenwen, have been taking care of her.

Of course, Li Yuejiao took care of some of the details. She originally wanted to hire a caregiver, but Li Yuetian refused.

After what happened last time, even though there were people guarding outside, he was still afraid.

What if... the Zhou family members sneak in disguise as caregivers and kidnap Lin Yue?

Although Li Yuejiao didn't say it, Li Yuetian knew that the Zhou family had no intention of letting the matter rest.

After all, they are the most powerful family, with considerable influence and background. Even with official intervention, it would be difficult to bring them down openly. They're not only considering taking Lin Yue back to retrieve her heart through litigation, but they've also started stirring up online public opinion.

Just yesterday, the Zhou family bribed a hospital staff member to instigate a disturbance at the hospital, attempting to take Lin Yue away in the chaos. Fortunately, the Knights Association guards noticed something amiss and stopped them in time.

"These inhuman beasts! If it weren't for the rule of law, I would have wiped them out!" Li Yuejiao was furious, but her movements remained gentle as she carefully combed Lin Yue's silky hair, all the while cursing the Zhou family.

Li Yuetian gazed quietly at Lin Yue, whose eyes were closed as if she were in a vegetative state. Even though she was wearing a simple hospital gown, her delicate and beautiful face could not hide her innate liveliness.

He couldn't help but reach out his right hand and gently grasp Lin Yue's slightly pale hand. However, just as he grasped Lin Yue's hand, Tang Wenwen, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed his action and quickly slapped his hand away.

"Hey! What are you doing? How can you still try to take advantage of someone at a time like this? It's outrageous!" Tang Wenwen's eyebrows shot up, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at Li Yuetian, her face full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Faced with Tang Wenwen's rebuke, Li Yuetian's face immediately turned red, and he stammered, "No...no, I just wanted to comfort her, I absolutely didn't have any other thoughts..." As he spoke, he turned his head away in embarrassment, like a child who had done something wrong, and dared not look Tang Wenwen in the eye again.

Li Yuejiao could only shake her head helplessly. However, judging from his caring attitude towards Lin Yue, perhaps the young man had truly fallen in love...

...

"Mr. Gu, your items have been delivered," the secretary reported respectfully to Gu Chenfeng.

Hearing this, Gu Chenfeng didn't even raise an eyelid, and strode straight downstairs. His tall and imposing figure seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression, inspiring awe in everyone.

In the center of the spacious, brightly lit hall, a huge cage gleaming with a cold, silvery light stood silently. The cage looked extremely sturdy, and its size was astonishing; a rough estimate suggested it could hold two or three adults.

He nodded in satisfaction. Then he waved to his men to carry the cage upstairs.

Lin Sao, who had been busy in the corner, inadvertently caught sight of the cage, and her face was filled with disbelief and horror.

"Young Master! This...this is going too far...it's too cruel..." Aunt Lin said tremblingly.

However, Gu Chenfeng remained completely unresponsive, like an iceberg. He stared blankly ahead, seemingly ignoring everything Lin Sao had said.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up her courage to continue persuading, "Young master, treating Miss Shuyao like this is really... Her mental state is already not good, if you continue..."

But before she could finish speaking, Gu Chenfeng abruptly turned his head, his deep, cold eyes staring straight at Lin Sao like an icy pool. Just one glance sent a chill down Lin Sao's spine, rendering her unable to utter a single word.

"What I do is none of your business to interfere," Gu Chenfeng said coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Yes, young master!" Aunt Lin dared not say any more.

Gu Chenfeng walked slowly into the dark, damp basement, which reeked of decay, his face expressionless. Time passed slowly, and soon he emerged from the depths of the basement, forcefully dragging a petite girl with him.

Behind him, Chi Xiaoyu's hysterical curses continued to echo.

The poor girl's body trembled incessantly, like a leaf falling in a storm.

However, the cold-blooded man showed not a shred of pity for the girl. He tossed Chi Shuyao into the iron cage as if she were a broken object.
