Trillionaire's Slice of Life

This world certainly doesn't just contain beauty; there is also an abundance of ugliness, which you normally don't pay attention to, or it's hidden in some dark places. In the nearby underbrush, Chu Mo grasped Yu Junjun's wrist and then clearly felt the icy coldness of the girl's small hand. Chu Mo shook his head slightly at the girl; he didn't want her to fall into any dangerous situation. A girl acting so recklessly might encounter who knows what. Just as Chu Mo was stopping the girl in that brief moment, under the nearby streetlight, a few young men holding iron rods blocked the old man's last escape route. Simultaneously, a few youths with evil smirks on their faces lit fireworks in their hands. Amidst the dazzling fireworks, the continuously exploding fireworks finally harshly sprayed onto the homeless old man. With the fireworks blossoming continuously, the entire night sky nearby lit up, and amidst the sound of fireworks exploding, there were also the old man's desperate and horrified screams. The fireworks kept going off, and the old man's ragged cotton clothes finally caught a few stray sparks. As the old man rolled on the ground begging for mercy, the group of young people's excited and manic laughter mixed in! "He's on fire… this stinking cockroach got lit… hahaha, burn him…!" The twisted laughter of the group of young people kept ringing in the ears, and Yu Junjun, standing beside him, widened her eyes. This high-valued lady of the Yu family, who had lived in sunshine since childhood, was witnessing the dark side of humanity for the first time. She started breathing rapidly! Yu Junjun, looking at those youths whose characters had already become distorted, upon seeing the iron rods in their hands, gradually lost the courage to intervene, despite her initial wish to do so. In just a moment, the long-haired girl took out her cellphone from her pocket. Just as she was about to dial for help, Chu Mo next to her lightly shook his head, speaking indifferently, "It's too late to call for help now. From dispatch to arrival at the scene, it will take a significant amount of time. During this period, the old man could lose his life. Besides, you might have noticed that those punks are mostly around fifteen or sixteen, the oldest being sixteen or seventeen. They're attacking a helpless homeless old man, and even if you take them all in, it's probably just going to result in some scolding and lecturing. After all, no one will seek justice for a beggar. Do you think that criticism and education will be effective for these devils who have already lost their humanity?" Chu Mo's voice was very calm; he found that although he felt sympathy for the old beggar, he wasn't overwhelmed with impassioned anger. Even Chu Mo himself was surprised. If it had been before he obtained the unlimited bank card, he might have been burning with rage upon encountering such a situation, then act impulsively and teach those brats a lesson. However, the outcome of such actions was uncertain. These kids, although young, were still sixteen or seventeen, at the peak of their youthful vigor and prone to acting without considering the consequences, and they were all armed. If an ordinary person were to really rush in, what the consequences would be, it was hard to say. Now, having faced off against countless top figures and having witnessed the splendor of the highest strata of society, Chu Mo's mindset had fundamentally changed. He hardly ever gets hot-headed over small matters anymore; his perspective has broadened. In dealing with any issue, although he still falls short of those sly old foxes, at the very least he could think one step ahead and foresee outcomes beyond just the next move. Chu Mo's words did not calm down Yu Junjun by his side. As a flower who had lived under the protection of her family since childhood, she was always straightforward and frank. She looked at Chu Mo very seriously and, amidst the repeated explosion of fireworks, the girl said with a grave face: "Perhaps you're right, even if they are caught, they won't suffer much punishment, but that cannot be an excuse for us to do nothing. At least, I don't want to grow old and look back on this moment with regret for my cowardice and apathy." As soon as Yu Junjun finished speaking, she resolutely dialed the emergency number and quickly reported the situation to the other party. After taking a deep breath, a firm determination began to appear in her eyes. Not far away, the youths who were like devils were still laughing wildly, the fireworks in their hands continuously exploding on the homeless old man. At this moment, Yu Junjun had never detested the splendid fireworks as much as she did now, and as the old man screamed heartrendingly, the laughter of the boys grew even more rampant. Suddenly, the woman whose face was filled with a resolve as if she was prepared to face death stepped forward, and the young lady of the Yu family suddenly shouted: "Hey! You brats better stop now, I've called the police, and in no more than two minutes, this place will be surrounded. If you don't want to die, get lost now!" The emergence of Yu Junjun from the dark forest indeed had a daunting effect. In response to her shout, a dozen ruffians immediately put away the fireworks, and they slowly gathered together. However, upon seeing that the person who had appeared before them was a beautiful woman with long hair, the unruly youths immediately burst into excited yells. When Yu Junjun stepped into the light, the night wind blew her long hair aside, and instantly, her captivating face was revealed for all to see. The group of youths, brimming with hormones, seemed to have discovered a new world. Their attention shifted from the homeless old man to Yu Junjun's face. "We still have two minutes? Miss, you're so pretty, two minutes is enough for us to do a lot of things!" The young man with acne all over his face held a baseball bat, and as he lazily walked towards Yu Junjun, a group of delinquents had already encircled her. Excitement was written all over the faces of the young boys. The oldest of the youths gently prodded Yu Junjun's smooth cheek with the baseball bat in his hand while provoking with a grin: "Miss, do you know what we're doing? We are helping humanity by exterminating filthy pests. We are partners of justice, and by hindering us, you're an enemy of justice that needs to be eradicated too." The youth's face was covered in acne, and his baseball bat glided slowly across Yu Junjun's smooth cheek. As it moved towards her neck, the girl's face, which was full of annoyance, suddenly flushed with anger. The next moment, the girl who was clenching her teeth furiously knocked away the baseball bat. Just as Yu Junjun was about to scold the youth, his acne-ridden face suddenly twisted into a ferocious snarl. Without another word, he raised the baseball bat high, and then fiercely brought it down towards Yu Junjun's head.
