Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 424: The Path of Life and Death



The surroundings were already encircled by dozens of male and female bodyguards, each of them incredibly powerful professionals. Even the most ordinary female bodyguard possessed the strength to take on three ordinary people. With Chu Mo's side numbering in the dozens, even facing hundreds of street thugs, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

No longer concerned for his own safety, Chu Mo's heart, which had just been racing wildly, gradually calmed down. He looked off into the distance, only to find that the ponytailed girl who had been there before had vanished from sight.

Just as Chu Mo's heartbeat slowly steadied, a short-haired woman suddenly sprinted from a distance. Upon reaching him, she said with utter seriousness,

"Mr. Chu, that girl has just been cornered by that gang in an alley. Should we intervene?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo looked up at the short-haired woman in front of him and realized that this was the bodyguard who had introduced herself as Sun Qing.

Chu Mo immediately fell into a slight quandary. His initial thought had been that he had led the ponytailed girl out of danger. Now, he had no connection to her, and he was free to head back, indulge in a hot bath, and have a maid massage the bruise under his ribs, where the girl had pinched him purple.

However, Sun Qing's words had once again tied him to the ponytailed girl.

Before, unaware of her situation, he could've easily ignored it with a clear conscience, but now that he knew she was back in dire straits, to stand by and watch would be akin to letting someone die without lending a hand.

Chu Mo sighed with some resignation, looking at the devoted female bodyguard in front of him. For a moment, he didn't quite know how to feel about her.

Her vigilance was definitely high; the moment the girl had parted from him, she took the initiative to follow and quickly confirmed the girl was in danger. If ever he found himself in trouble one day, the independent thinking of this group of female bodyguards would undoubtedly be much higher than that of their male counterparts.

After all, the dozens of male bodyguards by Chu Mo's side cared about his safety above all else. As long as he was secure, nothing else mattered.

Just like now, when a real situation arose, a group of male bodyguards would immediately surround him inside and out, ensuring his complete safety. Meanwhile, the more meticulous female bodyguards, while making sure he was safe, would also take the initiative to survey the surroundings.

Overall, this incident could also reflect these female bodyguards' ability to react on the spot.

His brain rapidly replayed the entire event in his mind, and the final image that emerged was the panic-stricken face of the ponytailed girl. He couldn't help but murmur,

"That girl, she couldn't be very old, right?"

"Mr. Chu, I estimate that she's between sixteen and eighteen years old, probably a high school student. Being chased by so many thugs... if we don't make a move, I fear the outcome will be unthinkable!"

The short-haired bodyguard named Sun Qing clearly had a strong sense of justice. As she spoke, bright eyes fixed directly on him.

Chu Mo gave a bitter smile, feeling helpless. Now that he was involved, he couldn't just stand aside. He probably would be seen by this group of bodyguards as someone who didn't save those who were dying if he didn't act. He took a deep breath and then shouted,

"Make way!"

The surrounding bodyguards quickly dispersed. In that moment of rest, having regained some energy, Chu Mo once more mounted his bike and quickly charged forward.

After Chu Mo's figure disappeared into the distance, Fang Lihu, who stood more than two meters tall in the back, watched the female bodyguard with a gloomy face and said in a heavy tone,

"You talk too much. If Mr. Chu gets hurt because of this, do you think losing your job will be enough? Contact headquarters; we need to muster a hundred more brothers for backup!"

"Everyone, assume level one alert status. We can't allow Mr. Chu to be threatened in any way!"

"Yes~!"

Around him, dozens of bodyguards swiftly moved into position, and at this time, the short-haired woman called Sun Qing's face had turned a shade paler. Initially, she had just wanted the big boss to send someone to help the young girl through the crisis. She hadn't expected him to rush in personally. If something truly happened to the big boss, how could she, a mere bodyguard, bear it?

With frustration biting her lip, the delicate-looking short-haired woman mounted a bike beside her and recklessly sped in the same direction.

A minute later, at the entrance of an alleyway on a street, Chu Mo finally spotted the person he was looking for. The ponytailed girl from before was surrounded by a group of young men wielding clubs. Two of them were even dragging her toward a white van parked by the curb.

Despite the girl's loud cries for help and her desperate struggle, no one passing by dared to interfere with the delinquents. As the thugs were about to force the girl into the van, Chu Mo, riding his bike, didn't brake but instead pushed even harder forward, violently charging into the group of thugs.

The seven or eight thugs clearly detected the headlong Chu Mo and immediately scattered, cursing loudly. At the same time, a dozen bodyguards also on bikes followed behind Chu Mo. As he broke through the group, the ponytailed girl took advantage of the chaos to break free from one of the thugs' grip and dashed towards Chu Mo.
