Chapter 50: One Million Followers on TikTok

Chen Mo spoke coldly, “This time, I’ll just cripple one of your hands. If there’s a next time, it’ll be your life!”

Chen Mo’s palm became a blade, chopping down on Zhou Xiong’s thick arm.

Crack—

The sound of bone snapping!

Chen Mo broke Zhou Xiong’s arm with a single blow. Even if it didn’t leave him permanently disabled, he’d be stuck in a hospital bed for at least a year.

“Aaah—”

Zhou Xiong’s face twisted in agony. “Chen Mo! You dare hurt me! Do you know who my father is? He’s a high-ranking official, and I’ll make you… ah—”

Another blood-curdling scream echoed out as Chen Mo’s hand, swift as a shadow, struck Zhou Xiong’s other arm.

Pitiful Zhou Xiong now had both arms broken completely.

A murderous glint flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes. “Zhou Xiong, seek revenge if you dare! But next time, if I kill, it’ll be your whole family!”

Merciless. Ruthless. Vicious.

Zhou Xiong had never imagined that anyone could have eyes this terrifying. Was this really a high schooler? He was more frightening than a demon!

At this moment, Chen Mo still didn’t dare to truly kill these students. After all, they attended the same school; killing them would not only prevent his return but also create endless trouble. For someone whose wings had yet to fully spread, now was not the time.

Whoosh—

With a swift step, Chen Mo vanished from sight, reappearing in a dark alley on the left side of the street.

In the alley, a girl in a Class F uniform was desperately trying to flee. Her chest heaved as she gasped for breath, terror and trembling evident in every movement.

The wind howled, sand and debris swirling.

Bang!

The girl was knocked to the ground, her eyes wild with panic, utterly at a loss.

Chen Mo’s voice was icy. “Zhong Lin’er, why are you running?”

Indeed, the girl was Zhong Lin’er. She had tried to seduce Zhou Xiong from Class A, luring him to gather his lackeys and ambush Chen Mo during the school break. If their plan succeeded, she would step forward to humiliate Chen Mo herself.

Who could have guessed that two from Class A and four from Class B—six people in total—could not defeat one little girl and a so-called Class F loser?

What was even more unbelievable was that Zhou Xiong, ranked tenth in all of Class A, was utterly crushed by Chen Mo from Class F. It defied all logic.

Zhong Lin’er’s lips were bloodless, her body trembling as she forced a smile. “Ha, I—I just happened to be passing by, and you started chasing me for no reason. I was scared, so I ran.”

“For no reason? Ha! Zhong Lin’er, how many times in the past month have you plotted and schemed against me in Class F? Did you think I didn’t know? I simply didn’t want to stoop to quarreling with a petty girl like you. But I never imagined you’d escalate, gathering people to ambush me. You’re more venomous than a viper! I truly don’t understand—what did I ever do to you to make you go to such lengths to bring me down?”

Zhong Lin’er retorted bitterly, “It’s because of you! Because of you! Everyone says I’m beautiful, everyone dotes on me! I just can’t stand your fake aloofness. I want to make you submit! I want you kneeling beneath me! Don’t pretend you’re not attracted to my beauty! As long as you say you like me, my body is yours! Come on, hurry!”

Slap—

Without a hint of mercy, Chen Mo struck her across the face.

Zhong Lin’er’s mind buzzed. This was the first time in her life anyone had dared slap her. Clutching her burning cheek, she screamed hysterically, “You—you actually hit me! Not even my parents have ever laid a hand on me, and you dare strike me! Do you know who I am? I have a million followers on TikTok, and you dare hit me!”

Smack!

Another resounding slap echoed through the alley.

“Zhong Lin’er, you must be mad from playing TikTok all day. Do you really think the whole world will worship you like they do online, calling you a goddess every day?”

Suddenly, Zhong Lin’er tore open her school uniform, revealing a lacy pink bra, her cleavage temptingly exposed.

“Come on, touch me if you dare! Don’t think I don’t know what you want. All these words, isn’t it just that you want to touch me, to have me? Come on, do it!” She tried to grab Chen Mo’s hand and force it toward her chest.

“You really are insane!” Chen Mo flung her several meters away.

He was truly shaken by Zhong Lin’er’s shamelessness. In his mind, girls had always been angels of this world, but her appearance shattered that beautiful illusion.

At first, he’d intended to break her arm as punishment, but her wanton display made him feel that even touching her would dirty his hands. Besides, he could hear his little sister approaching from behind.

Chen Mo tossed out a cold warning. “Zhong Lin’er! This is the last time. If it happens again, I’ll make sure you disappear from this world!”

With that, Chen Mo turned and walked away.

Watching him leave, Zhong Lin’er laughed maniacally like a victor. “Ha, hahaha! I thought you were so tough, but in the end you were conquered by my body. Hahahaha!”

Exiting the alley, Ning Xuan ran up anxiously. “Brother, the police are here!”

Sure enough, Chen Mo saw two officers at the street corner, likely responding to a report from a nearby resident, hurrying in their direction.

He grabbed Ning Xuan’s hand, his voice low. “Run!”

Although Ning Xuan was a magician, her physical abilities far surpassed an ordinary person’s. The siblings quickly escaped in the opposite direction, evading the pursuing officers.

Once they were sure they weren’t being followed, Chen Mo hailed a taxi. “Driver, Sunshine Affordable Housing, Phase Three!”

On the way, the chatty driver glanced at their school uniforms. “Hey, you two must be from Evolution School, right?”

Chen Mo grew wary. “How do you know?”

The driver laughed. “That’s a funny question! How could I not know? Every evening at seven, the news has a whole segment about evolution across the country, and your school gets mentioned most. The news says that to maintain social order and protect the nation, over five thousand Evolution Schools have been founded. My son attends Changjun Evolution School. As soon as I drop you off, I’m heading home to see him!”

Speaking of his son, the driver’s face shone with pride.

Soon, they arrived at Sunshine Affordable Housing, Phase Three. When the driver learned the siblings were orphans, he refused to accept any fare.

But Chen Mo smiled. “Sir, if you pity us just because we’re orphans, that’s the greatest discrimination of all. My sister and I never felt we should be pitied, because we’re not alone. Here, please take the money! Goodbye, sir!”

The taxi driver held the money, watching the two siblings laughing and playing as they walked away, his expression mixed with emotion.

At home, inside the small, gray but familiar apartment, surrounded by the scent of dampness and the sight of their old 21-inch TV, no matter how well they lived outside, the siblings still loved this home they’d shared for five years beyond measure.

“Our home! We’re back!”
