Chapter 4: The Treasure Girl and the Meddling Hero

“Who is that woman? How dare she lay a hand on Director Mo? Does she not want to stay in the industry?”

“It doesn’t look like she’s from the entertainment circle.”

“Even if she isn’t, crossing Director Mo is just bad luck. That man is a rabid dog!”

“Why are you all so agitated? It’s not your misfortune. Let’s just watch from the sidelines!”

Listening to the voices around him, Ji Wenyan couldn’t help but frown, realizing the young woman had provoked a truly troublesome individual.

Yet, who could blame her? She was a treasure girl with a growth potential of 10!

With that thought, Ji Wenyan no longer hesitated. He resolved to step forward and help the young woman out of her predicament.

His father’s words echoed faintly in his ears.

‘Cause trouble again, and I’ll send you to the mountains to become a monk.’

Hmph, such childish threats held no sway over Ji Wenyan. He simply scoffed.

Unless, of course, his father wished to be chased and beaten by his grandfather with a stick…

Moreover, even if he were truly sent to the mountains to become a monk, Ji Wenyan still couldn’t stand idly by.

This girl, she was his destiny!

“I’m telling you, a woman like you is no match for me! Apologize to me obediently now, or don’t blame me for ruining you.”

“You harassed me first.”

“I harassed you? Hmph, you should take a look at yourself. There are far more beautiful women than you, have I harassed any of them? Now, kneel and apologize, or strip your clothes and dance for us.”

As Ji Wenyan arrived, the man referred to as Director Mo had a firm grip on the young woman’s wrist.

A malicious grin stretched across his face as he spoke.

When he mentioned stripping, the surrounding men immediately began whistling, their faces alight with excited, mischievous smiles, clearly anticipating what would happen next.

As for the other women, they too had gathered in a circle, drawn by the spectacle. Their lips curled into sneers of disdain, deeming the young woman to be foolishly ignorant of the situation.

Anyone who attended this party was hardly a paragon of virtue.

A simple apology would have sufficed, preventing the situation from spiraling into such an unmanageable mess.

“Isn’t that Bai Mengze? How did she get into a confrontation with Director Mo? It looks like she won’t be leaving here peacefully today.”

“You know her?”

“What, are you interested in her? Hehe, beg me! Beg me and I’ll tell you.”

“Beg you? You can go die on your bed!”

Just as Ji Wenyan had settled in, Shen Hua’s voice immediately rang out beside him. When Ji Wenyan turned his head slightly, he saw Shen Hua, an arm around a woman, standing next to him, a hint of surprise on his face.

His words implied he recognized the young woman.

Glancing at the woman in Shen Hua’s arms, whose ‘growth potential’ was barely above zero, Ji Wenyan didn’t continue watching. He merely thought to himself how impressive this playboy, Shen Hua, was—it hadn’t been long, yet he had already changed women again.

“Ji Wenyan, let me tell you in advance… don’t go playing hero later. If you cause any trouble in U City, your dad will really throw you into the remote mountains.”

“Hmph, as if I’d be afraid of him.”

Hearing Shen Hua mention his father, Ji Wenyan let out an annoyed huff.

What did he mean, ‘causing trouble’?

He was simply upholding justice, punishing evil, promoting good, and helping others. This Director Mo was far too arrogant, truly believing no one in U City could rein him in.

“Well, make your decision quickly. If you won’t kneel, then take off your clothes.”

Director Mo seemed to have no intention of settling the matter peacefully. He held Bai Mengze’s hand tightly, gazing at the pure, indifferent girl before him. Even her silence stirred a tantalizing itch within him, making him feel that this girl was truly exceptional!

Once today was over, he resolved to inquire about her details. If he could keep her as a mistress, it would be a delightful arrangement.

He already had several mistresses outside; one more wouldn’t make a difference.

“Let go of me.”

“Haha, what right do you have to tell me to let go? Don’t you know your place? Even if I strip you here today, no one would dare to stop me.”

Seeing Bai Mengze’s expression remain unchanged, Director Mo didn’t waste any more words. A lewd smile spread across his face as he reached out, intent on tearing off Bai Mengze’s clothes.

Not a single person watching intervened.

They were all too afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

As Bai Mengze watched the lecherous hand reaching for her, a flicker of panic crossed her eyes. Immediately, her hands clenched into fists; she had no intention of surrendering without a fight.

No matter what happened next, she would not allow herself to be humiliated here.

“Hey, hey, you old man, aren’t you ashamed of yourself, harassing a young girl like this?”

However, just as Director Mo’s hand was about to reach Bai Mengze’s collar, another hand suddenly appeared in mid-air, gripping his wrist firmly.

A lazy voice accompanied the action, causing the surrounding crowd to freeze for a few seconds.

Which fool dared to meddle?
