A bed that traverses countless worlds
Chapter 158 A Shocking Change at the Chamber of Commerce: A Test of Trust
After Lin Yu left, he did not go straight back to the inn.
The appearance of that mysterious man in black made him sense a dangerous atmosphere, and it also confirmed his suspicions—the Interstellar Merchant Guild was probably not as clean as it seemed.
He quietly returned to the vicinity of the Chamber of Commerce, activated the invisibility mode on his bed, and moved through the crowd like a ghost, secretly observing the Chamber of Commerce's every move.
Within the chamber of commerce, behind the seemingly prosperous transactions, lie some unknown secrets.
Lin Yu discovered that the names of some goods did not match their actual contents, and there were also obvious loopholes in the transaction records.
Following these clues, he gradually uncovered the truth—the president of the chamber of commerce was secretly trading contraband!
"Wow, this is a huge surprise!" Lin Yu exclaimed as he lay in bed.
He knew that once this news was exposed, the entire chamber of commerce would face annihilation.
However, he is currently outnumbered and outmatched, and if he acts rashly, he may end up getting burned.
Just as he was struggling with his decision, a fat, big-eared man with a face full of scars blocked his way.
This man was the chamber of commerce inspector, a lackey bribed by the chairman.
"Hey kid, what are you doing here, sneaking around like that?" the inspector said rudely.
Lin Yu sneered, "What I'm doing is none of your business. Who do you think you are?"
"How dare you speak to me like that?!" The inspector roared in fury, his fat jiggling. "Do you know who I am? I'm an inspector from the Chamber of Commerce! You'd better tell me the truth, or else..."
"Otherwise what?" Lin Yu met his gaze without flinching. "You want to use your power to intimidate me? Let me tell you, I'm not easily intimidated!"
The inspector's expression changed; he hadn't expected this kid to be so tough.
Just as he was about to lash out, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance...
"What's going on?" He frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart, and walked towards the direction from which the commotion was coming.
Lin Yu watched his departing figure, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"The game has only just begun..." he muttered, then activated the bed's acceleration function and sped off towards the direction of the commotion.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder...
The source of the unrest is space pirates!
Taking advantage of the chaos within the chamber of commerce, they pounced on it like hungry wolves and began a frenzied looting.
The laser gun flashed, and the alarm blared throughout the chamber of commerce, creating chaos.
The merchant guild's defenses were clearly inadequate, and the pirates plundered the guild's goods with impunity.
"Damn! These guys really know how to pick their timing!" Lin Yu lay on the bed, looking at the chaotic scene before him, and couldn't help but complain.
Although he was eager to continue investigating the Chamber of Commerce president's secrets, the current situation was clearly more urgent.
"Brothers, follow me! Protect the Chamber of Commerce!" Lin Yu roared, activating the attack mode on the bed.
Various cool weapons popped out of the bed: laser cannons, energy blasts, homing missiles...
With full firepower unleashed, they instantly blasted several pirates at the forefront into dust.
The members of the chamber of commerce, who had been in despair, were greatly encouraged by Lin Yu's bravery and picked up their weapons to join the battle.
"Who is this kid? He's so strong!"
"Take me with you, boss!"
"666, that move was absolutely amazing!"
The pirates initially didn't take Lin Yu seriously, thinking he was just a reckless and ignorant fool.
But they soon paid the price for underestimating their opponent.
Lin Yu is no ordinary Earth youth; his combat experience in the fantasy continent is no joke.
He cleverly used the flexibility of the bed and its powerful firepower to set up defenses and counterattacks, catching the pirates off guard.
He sometimes transforms into a "mobile artillery turret," unleashing a barrage of firepower, and at other times into a "ghost assassin," weaving through enemies to deliver a fatal blow.
A variety of outrageous maneuvers kept the chamber of commerce members dazzled and thoroughly entertained.
Under Lin Yu's leadership, the members of the Chamber of Commerce fought with increasing courage and ultimately successfully repelled the space pirates, protecting the Chamber's goods.
"Awesome! You're amazing, boss!"
"Hero! You are a hero of our chamber of commerce!"
The chamber of commerce members gathered around, expressing their gratitude and admiration for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's prestige within the Chamber of Commerce instantly reached its peak, making him the focus of everyone's attention.
Lin Yu lay on the bed, enjoying the cheers of the crowd, but secretly sneered in his heart.
He knew this was just the beginning.
The real challenge is yet to come.
He glanced at the businesswoman standing at the edge of the crowd; her face was pale, and her eyes flickered...
"Are you alright?" Lin Yu asked, seemingly concerned.
The businesswoman forced a smile and shook her head.
But Lin Yu clearly saw that her hand was trembling slightly...
The smoke of battle had not yet dissipated, but the atmosphere within the Chamber of Commerce was even more somber.
The inspector pointed at the still-shaken businesswoman and shouted sternly, "It's her! She's colluding with space pirates, working together from the inside!"
The crowd gasped, all eyes turning to the businesswoman.
Her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she wanted to explain but didn't know where to begin.
The gratitude she had felt towards Lin Yu was instantly replaced by fear and despair.
"Boss, you'd better be careful, this woman might be a femme fatale!" someone warned Lin Yu.
"Exactly, don't be fooled by her appearance!"
The whispers of the crowd pierced the businesswoman's heart like needles. She looked helplessly at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu felt a mix of emotions.
He knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for him.
If he chooses to believe the businesswoman, he will be standing against the Chamber of Commerce and may even be drawn into the vortex of this dark deal.
However, if he chooses to protect himself and stay out of it, he cannot bear to watch an innocent person die.
"I believe her." Lin Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resolute.
The entire room fell silent; everyone was stunned.
They never expected that at this crucial moment, Lin Yu would choose to believe a woman accused of being a traitor.
The businesswoman looked at Lin Yu with tears in her eyes, filled with gratitude.
She knew that there were still people in this world who were willing to believe in her and stand up for her.
"Brother, are you crazy? This woman is obviously suspicious!" Kong Yang anxiously tried to dissuade him.
Lin Yu patted Kong Yang on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
He turned to the businesswoman and said firmly, "I will find out the truth and clear your name."
Over the next few days, Lin Yu activated "Sherlock Holmes Bedtime" mode, lying in bed and using the system's various functions to secretly investigate the connection between the Chamber of Commerce and the space pirates.
He discovered that there were secret communication records between the president of the chamber of commerce and the leader of the interstellar pirates, and the contents were extremely confidential.
"Goodness, this old guy's got some skills!" Lin Yu exclaimed as he lay on the bed.
As the investigation deepened, Lin Yu gradually realized that the incident was far more complicated than he had imagined.
The guild president, space pirates, inspectors, and even other forces lurking in the shadows all seem to be playing a much larger game.
"It seems this mess is deeper than I imagined..." Lin Yu muttered to himself.
He suddenly remembered the mysterious man in black he had encountered before, and an idea struck him. He immediately contacted Kong Yang: "Old Kong, help me investigate someone..."
