Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 96 Chapter 094 Departure



Chapter 96 Chapter 094 Departure

A tall girl in a pale pink dress sang passionately, her stunning face filled with earnestness and immersion.

The moment the girl's sweet voice rang out, many people on the bustling square immediately stopped their hurried footsteps.

Beneath the pedestrian bridge, Ling Yue, hugging a guitar, sang and played, her soft voice like the sound of an angel.

At that moment, Ling Yue seemed like a colorful sprite, her entire being radiating with bright hues.

Across from the girl, Chu Mo, who carried a pink handbag, listened quietly, looking tender and captivated.

At that moment, Chu Mo's heartbeat quickened, not because of alcohol, but as if some force within him yearned to burst forth, a feeling he had never experienced before surged within his heart.

The number of onlookers steadily grew, and everyone's gaze was fixed upon the girl, admiration and amazement evident in their eyes.

When the song ended and the area erupted into warm applause, Ling Yue, with a bright smile in her eyes, returned the guitar to the street singer, thanked him, then gently made her way to Chu Mo's side.

"It really sounded great."

Chu Mo praised sincerely.

The girl in front of him, with bright eyes, beamed:

"Thank you."

The two of them walked through the crowd and left the square under the envious and jealous gazes of a group of onlookers.

As the deep voice of the street singer started up again behind them, Chu Mo smiled and said:

"How about a tour of Bafang International? I can arrange some red wine, and from the top-floor viewing platform, you can see The Bund and many scenes you can't usually see."

Ling Yue, hands clasped behind her back, slightly raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face:

"Are you up to no good?"

Seeing through him, Chu Mo didn't say much, but instead asked:

"Where would you say then?"

Hesitating for a moment, the smile on her face slowly faded, and Ling Yue became careful as she softly said:

"I think it's too soon. I want to experience every phase of a relationship like regular lovers do - meeting, falling in love, getting to know each other. Strictly speaking, we've only just met. We haven't been to an amusement park together, haven't gone to the movies, and we don't even know each other's likes yet. I want to have a love that will be forever memorable, like an ordinary girl...

Is that okay?"

Hearing her words, a warm current suddenly rose in Chu Mo's heart, he nodded earnestly, and with a smile, he said:

"To tell you the truth, I've never watched a movie or visited an amusement park with a girl either. So... let's start with watching a movie together."

The girl by his side nodded with a laugh, radiating with a sweet aura.

...

Early in the morning, when the alarm at his side went off, Chu Mo stretched lazily and got out of bed.

Last night, he watched a movie with Ling Yue, and after taking her home, he didn't return to his villa until past midnight. Chu Mo, who remained in a strange state of mind, didn't fall asleep until two or three in the morning.

However, unlike the anxiety he felt when he first got the unlimited card, now Chu Mo was full of energy and in a very good mood, and even the annoying sound of the alarm seemed pleasant to him.

Chu Mo wasn't sure if he was in love, as he had never experienced this before, but one thing was certain: an image of someone had begun to occupy his mind.

As usual, he washed up in the bathroom and dressed, not taking the elevator as he usually did, but walking down the stairs directly to the first floor.

In the hall, four maids awaited respectfully, and the voice of the butler, Danny, rose as usual.

"Mr. Chu, breakfast is ready."

Chu Mo, in a good mood, arrived at the dining room with a smile in his eyes, where over a dozen exquisite breakfast dishes were laid out on the table in front of him.

While sampling the delicious food, Chu Mo said nonchalantly,

"How is Jiang Tao's preparation going? How many people has he recruited?"

Danny immediately bowed and responded,

"Mr. Chu, Jiang Tao has recruited thirty-five people, adding to the original five bodyguards at the mansion, we now have a total of forty."

After swallowing a piece of sushi, Chu Mo nodded, then raised an eyebrow and asked,

"What about Yun Changzai? I've heard he likes to bully the few with the many and has a number of fair-weather friends outside. How many people has he called in this time?"

"According to the intelligence bought by Jiang Tao's informant, in order to pressure Mr. Chu, the opposing side has mobilized at least fifty to sixty people this time."

Chu Mo frowned slightly at this news, and after a moment of silence, he said directly,

"Pull some people from Bafang International's security over here, and give Emperor Xuan Property Management a heads-up to allocate a batch of security guards, too. We can't have fewer people than them."

As his sidekick Danny nodded, Chu Mo spoke casually,

"Tell Qin Zixuan and Zhan Bingxue to be ready to make a move on Shi Yuan Entertainment at any time... And I've already contacted Xin'er and Tao Yun. This afternoon, send someone to pick them up from school and bring them to the villa; also, leave two people to guard the villa, just in case."

The middle-aged butler by his side immediately nodded in acknowledgment.

Chu Mo, then silent, began to eat his breakfast with concentration.

After finishing his meal, Chu Mo didn't go to the kitchen to practice his cooking skills as usual but went straight to the third-floor study.

After opening his laptop, a certain thought emerged within Chu Mo, and after pondering for a moment, his fingers quickly began to type on the keyboard.

This time, he was writing a short love story. The protagonists, a man and a woman, were university classmates who met in the school's library and gradually fell in love...

The story was cliché, but with his personal experiences, he had a different insight. When it came to setting the ending, he hesitated for a long time, but the couple, having gone through hardships, ended up together in the end.

Your next read awaits at empire

After proofreading the document, Chu Mo didn't send the story to an editor he knew but saved it for himself.

Such a cliché story that ends happily was unlikely to be accepted by editors; of course, the main reason was that Chu Mo was writing it for himself.

If he wanted to publish it, the ending would probably have to be tragic or left more open to be considered profound and gain editorial acceptance.

But now, he wasn't short on money, nor did he need to force a change in his story just for that acceptance.

By the time he saved the file and shut down the computer, it was already two in the afternoon.

He hadn't had lunch, but he wasn't hungry at all.

Descending the stairs, he found that besides the maids and butler Danny, two more individuals had arrived in the living room: the head of the bodyguards, Shou Bo, and the detective agency's president, Jiang Tao.

"Mr. Chu, everything has been prepared according to your instructions; we are ready to set out at any time," said Jiang Tao, his deep and forceful voice matching his towering height of 2.2 meters. Chu Mo nodded, glanced at his wristwatch to confirm the time, hesitated for a moment, and although it was still early, he found no reason to keep waiting around the house. He nodded and said,

"Let's go!"

Behind him, eight maids respectfully saw him off. After putting on his shoes and stepping out of the hall, Chu Mo saw a lineup of at least fifteen or sixteen luxury cars, including his own Rolls-Royce Phantom and two Bentleys, quietly parked at the front of the villa.

Gazing out, dozens of tall and robust men stood respectfully by his side.

Even as Chu Mo tried to stay calm, a surge of excitement was difficult to suppress within him.

Taking a deep breath, he strode to the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the entrance and took a seat in the back. Once Chu Mo gave a nod, the convoy of luxurious cars slowly left the villa.
