Chapter 9 My Hero of the World

Liu Ruifeng looked at her in confusion, "What did you forget?"

Lu Yichen smiled awkwardly, "No... Nothing, I forgot... I forgot to take something." Then, she ran to her seat and grabbed something into her bag. She ran out the door and said to Liu Ruifeng, "I'm in a hurry. I gotta go first..."

Liu Ruifeng looked at Lu Yichen's back with confusion and lowered his head to continue his work.

Lu Yichen ran out of the office in a hurry and didn't stop until she ran into the elevator. She looked in the direction of the office and stuck out her tongue guiltily, "I almost forgot to call Ye Tang. Fortunately, I left quickly. Otherwise, it would be bad if Ruifeng noticed something."

Lu Yichen stroke her chest which was heaving up and down due to the strenuous exercise. She pressed the floor button and took out her phone after she calmed down, and the the call was picked up the moment she dialed it, "Hello? Ye Tang, I'm going to Chen Chen’s house later. I'm not going home for dinner tonight." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Lu Yichen held the phone in front of her eyes and took a look, “It’s put through...Hello? Ye Tang? Can you hear me?"

“Yeah.” The person on the other end of the line answered coldly and hung up.

“Ding-dong.” The elevator opened just then.

"It arrived so fast!" Lu Yichen rubbed her nose awkwardly and put her phone back into her bag. She walked out of the elevator with her head held high.

Half an hour later.

"Chenchen, you came down so quickly. Come and see what I bought." Lu Yichen grinned and turned to the woman who suddenly appeared behind her.

Tang Chenchen raised her eyebrows, "Why did you buy so much food? Can you finish it?"

"It's all right! I can! Hah..."

Lu Yichen couldn’t wait to ask as she walked, "Chenchen, what’s going on with that case? Tell me about it. It's up to you whether I can defeat that old witch in one fell swoop."

Tang Chenchen turned around and smiled at Lu Yichen, "Don't worry, I just sorted the relevant documents and will give them to you when we get back."

"Chenchen, no words can express my thanks! I'll treat you to dinner when this is over!” Lu Yichen happily rushed to Tang Chenchen's side and held her free hand tightly.

Tang Chenchen pulled her hand out, "Alright, I’ll need a big meal then. Here we are!" As she spoke, she took out her keys and opened the door. The style of the room was just like her, simple but also warm, and the walls are all painted in light blue.

"Well, I have put all the documents on the table. You can take a look first! I’ll cook some delicious food for you.” Tang Chenchen said.

Lu Yichen nodded quickly and saw the stack of documents on the table. She walked over and picked up the documents. She slowly flipped through them while thinking about how to write the script.

The documents were very detailed, with not only case description but also the autopsy report. Lu Yichen was most concerned about the criminal. Because he had been abused since he was young, he had been mentally distorted and became a paranoid person. In the end, only a small matter made him break out and retaliate against society.

"Good! This story is not only novel but also eye-catching. Hmph, this time, I will definitely defeat that old witch!"

Lu Yichen took a deep breath and lifted her head to find that the lights in the room were on. She looked outside and realized that the sky was already dark. Chenchen had brought her a plate of egg fried rice and she devoured it.

"Huh-" She stretched, "It's almost done."

It was already midnight when she left Chenchen’s house. She refused to stay at Chenchen's house and wanted to go home early to finish the rest of her work.

Lu Yichen hummed a tune and hopped on the way home. Thinking about the harvest this afternoon, she was so happy that she was about to fly. Even though she saw a few drunk punks by the roadside, it didn't affect her mood.

However, a couple of drunk punks noticed her.

"Yo, guys, that chick looks pretty good!" One of them saw Lu Yichen walking over, and his eyes lit up.

Hearing what he said, the others all turned to look at her.

"Girl, don't go, are you alone? Why not let us play with you? Hahaha..."

They surrounded her from behind, and Lu Yichen was shocked, "What do you want?"

She took a step back and asked cautiously as she looked at the drunk guys in front of her. She quickly glanced around but did not see anyone else. Her heart sank.

"What? We won’t do anything bad, we just want to play with you." They smiled as they approached her. One of them reached out to touch Lu Yichen's face while the others laughed and teased her.

She cursed in disgust, "Get away and take away your disgusting hands." However, the man suddenly withdrew his hand before Lu Yichen held back her strength, and she staggered forward.

"You’re really hot, and I like it! Girl, you can't wait to throw yourself at me? Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you tonight." There was a burst of laughter.

Lu Yichen bit her lip tightly and suddenly turned around to run backwards. The gangsters did not expect her to suddenly run back. They were all stunned for a moment and quickly went after her.

Hearing the footsteps coming closer and closer behind her, Lu Yichen was getting more and more anxious, but she didn't dare to stop.

"Ah... It hurts." The excruciating pain on her head made Lu Yichen scream, and they caught up with her.

"Don't you run very fast? Why did you stop?" A punk grabbed Lu Yichen's hair and asked, panting.

Feeling as if her hair was about to be torn off, Lu Yichen could not help but snort.

Damn it! If she had known, she wouldn't have worn high heels!

"Let her go if you don't want to die!" Suddenly, there was a cold and angry voice.

Lu Yichen was stunned for a moment and became overjoyed. She looked to where the voice came from. The punks didn't expect anyone to be so bold.

Ye Tang slowly walked out of the shadows. Seeing him appear suddenly, Lu Yichen’s eyes turned red with excitement. She suddenly thought of what Zixia Fairy said in Journey to the West, "My lover is a world-famous hero. One day, he will come with colorful clouds and marry me."

Would Ye Tang be my hero? Although there were no colorful clouds now, it did not hinder Ye Tang's greatness in Lu Yichen's heart at this moment.

The punks threw Lu Yichen aside and looked at him with contempt, "What? Trying to save the damsel in distress? Then you must be prepared to be beaten. My brothers are not men to be trifled with!" He waved back.

"Whoosh!" All the punks surrounded him and stared at him with unfriendly eyes.

Ye Tang frowned and looked at Lu Yichen who was thrown aside. Concern and anger flashed across his eyes.

He turned to look at them, and the cold atmosphere around him was getting heavier and heavier, "You guys can come together. Don’t waste time." There was no warmth in his cold voice.

"You're courting death. Brothers, let's go!" A few punks rushed over angrily.

Lu Yichen looked at the gangsters charging towards Ye Chen and wanted to scream, but she was afraid that she might disturb him. She covered her mouth tightly and did not dare to make a sound.

Ye Chen stared coldly at the people who were rushing towards him. He didn’t move until they approached him. He jumped into the crowd, punched leftwards and then rightwards, and there were screams one after another. Everywhere he went, there were punks lying in the ground, groaning in pain, and there were wails one after another.

Ye Tang didn't even look at the people on the ground, and walked towards Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen stared blankly at Ye Tang who was walking towards her. Somehow, she felt very wronged and could not help crying.
