Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 285 ????． ??°□°

Soon, a young female flight attendant in uniform with a professional smile walked over.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" the flight attendant asked politely.

Lin Yue stood up, her face showing just the right amount of worry and tension. She deliberately lowered her voice, but it was enough for the nearby passengers, especially the mother and child behind her, to hear:

"Hello, flight attendant. I...I have something I'd like to tell you." She pointed to the aisle seat behind her. "I suspect...I suspect the lady with the child behind me might...not be the child's biological mother!"

"What?!" The flight attendant's smile froze instantly, and her eyes turned serious.

Child trafficking is an extremely serious crime! The other passengers in the carriage who had been listening intently instantly erupted in commotion, their eyes all focusing on the fat woman and the little boy in the back.

The woman was stunned, then jumped up, her voice shrill and piercing: "You're talking nonsense! What rubbish are you spouting! This is my son! My own flesh and blood! You little slut, how dare you slander me?!"

The little boy was also startled by this sudden change. He stopped kicking the chair and looked blankly at his suddenly agitated mother and the strange looks from the people around him.

Lin Yue ignored the woman's shouting and instead spoke to the flight attendant in a more worried and urgent tone: "Comrade, please listen to me. From the moment I boarded the train, this child has been kicking my seat with his feet. The movements are very rhythmic, one kick after another. At first, I thought the child was just being naughty, so I turned around and politely reminded him."

She spoke calmly and clearly: "In the end, this woman not only didn't stop the child's behavior, but also verbally abused me with very offensive language, saying that I... seduced her son? But the other party was just a child, so this logic doesn't make any sense. More importantly, after I reminded him, the child kicked the seat more frequently and harder! And his eyes... didn't seem like he was playing around, but more like he was sending some kind of signal!"

Lin Yue paused, her voice trembling with lingering fear: "I...I've seen some news reports before, saying that some traffickers who control abducted children will use certain actions or signals to call for help! Could it be...could it be that he's sending me a distress signal?! Is he trying to tell me that he's not doing this voluntarily?"

"You're talking nonsense! You're spouting lies! This is my own son! Xiao Bao! Tell them who I am!" The fat woman was furious. She grabbed the little boy and shook him violently.

Yun Yi, gloating, sang mischievously from the side: "You are mine, I am yours, who..."

The little boy was terrified by his mother's ferocious expression and burst into tears, crying, "Mommy! Mommy!"

"Look! He called me Mom! Did you hear that!" The woman shouted to the flight attendant and those around her, as if grasping at a straw.

However, Lin Yue's words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, had stirred up huge ripples. The surrounding passengers began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Hmm...now that you mention it, it does make some sense?"

"Yes, that kid kept kicking the chair."

"This mother is strange. She doesn't discipline her child for kicking someone's chair, but instead insults the girl?"

"How could you say such vile things, calling her a 'vixen' and 'seducing children'? It's such a bad influence on children!"

"Exactly, this mother seems to have really poor manners! She doesn't seem like a proper caregiver for a child..."

"Look how scared the child is, crying like this..."

The flight attendant's expression grew even more serious. She was professionally trained and knew that she couldn't draw conclusions based on just one side of the story, but Lin Yue's "suspicion" was reasonable and well-founded, and the mother's overreaction and low-class behavior did indeed raise suspicions.

More importantly, this involves children's safety, so it's better to be safe than sorry!

"Madam, please calm down." The flight attendant said sternly to the overweight woman, "In order to verify the situation and ensure the safety of every passenger, especially the rights of minors, we need to conduct a simple identity verification for you and your child. Please show us your and your child's valid identification documents, as well as relevant proof of your parent-child relationship, such as a copy of your household registration book or a photo of your birth certificate."

"Why?! What right do you have to investigate me?!" The fat woman was completely enraged. She was used to being arrogant, and she never expected to encounter something like this while taking the high-speed train. She could never possibly bring her household registration book with her when she went out!

She brought her ID card, but a photo of her birth certificate? Where would she find that right now!

"This is the standard procedure, please cooperate with our work." The flight attendant's attitude was firm, while she whispered into the walkie-talkie: "Train conductor, train conductor, there's a situation in carriage 5, suspected human traffickers, requesting backup, the train police may need to intervene."

Upon hearing the words "train police," the fat woman's face turned pale instantly. She was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong; she would throw a tantrum at seemingly easy-to-bully young girls, but the mere mention of "police" made her cower.

"I...I..." she stammered, looking at the suspicious and disdainful looks from the passengers around her, and then at her son who was still sobbing in her arms and was obviously terrified.

A wave of panic and resentment washed over her. She just didn't want her son to suffer any "injustice," so how did things turn out like this?

"Xiao Bao! It's all your fault! I told you not to kick around! Now look what happened!" She was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she slapped the little boy on the head.

The little boy cried even louder after being hit: "Waaah—! I won't kick anymore! I won't do it again!"

This seemed to confirm the suspicion of some kind of "abuse." The surrounding passengers' gazes became even more hostile.

"Madam! Please stop hitting the child immediately!" the flight attendant shouted, stepping forward to protect the child.

At this moment, the train conductor and two uniformed police officers quickly arrived at the scene. After understanding the situation, the police officers looked serious and asked the overweight woman to immediately show her identification. They then took her and her child to a relatively quiet connecting area between the carriages for further questioning and verification.

"I won't go! I won't go with you! I haven't broken the law! This is my son!" The fat woman was still struggling, but her momentum had weakened a lot, and her voice was trembling with sobs.

"Please cooperate! Otherwise we will take necessary measures!" The train police officer's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

Finally, under the "escort" of the train police and attendants, the crying fat woman and the still sobbing little boy were taken away from their seats and to the connecting area between the carriages for a detailed check.

The carriage became much quieter, with only the passengers whispering among themselves.

"Tsk tsk, serves him right!"

"Exactly, why didn't you do this earlier? If you had just disciplined the kids properly, there wouldn't have been any problems."

"That girl is so clever! That's a brilliant move!"

"Yes, you have to use some wisdom to deal with unreasonable people like this!"

"I hope that child really is hers, otherwise..."

Yun Yi stared in disbelief at Lin Yue's actions. From the moment Lin Yue pressed the call button, to her "reasonable" "suspicion," and then to the mother and child being taken away... he was utterly impressed!

"Lin Yue...you...you're amazing!!" Yun Yi leaned closer to Lin Yue, lowered his voice, and looked at her with eyes full of admiration. "How did you come up with this idea?"

Lin Yue sat back down, picked up her water glass and took a sip. The "worry" on her face had vanished, and she had returned to her usual calm, as if the turmoil just now had nothing to do with her.

“There’s nothing divine about it,” she said calmly. “It’s just giving her a taste of her own medicine. Doesn’t she like to make trouble, distort the truth, and assume the worst about others? Well then, I’ll let her taste what it’s like to be ‘assumed’ by malice,’ and it will be a kind of malice that she can’t easily clear herself of and that she’ll need to spend time and effort to prove her innocence.”

She looked out the window at the fields rushing by, her tone tinged with coldness: "Speaking recklessly and without restraint to insult others comes at a price. The law may not be able to control her mouth for now, but the rules of society and the troubles it brings may teach her a lesson."

Looking at Lin Yue's calm profile, Yun Yi thought she looked absolutely stunning!

Calm, intelligent, with precise and deadly moves, and exuding a powerful aura that remained impassive. He felt his admiration for Lin Yue had reached a new level.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Yun Yi gave a heartfelt thumbs up. "This is going to be a real headache for her! She'll probably be 'chatting' with the train police before she even gets to the station!"
