Chapter 54: Hurting Others Without Blinking (1/2)

”Let me ask you,” Zhou Yuan looked at Liu Shuai, “What’s the price of land in S City per square meter?”

”Well, I'm afraid no less than forty thousand.” Liu Shuai thought for a while, then laughed bitterly. He must have thought of the hopeless gap between his sal-ary and the price of a house.

”According to what you guys said, there are factories around here. No buildings or stream of people is here.” Zhou Yuan dipped his finger in the water in the tea cup, and started to draw on the table, ”If you want to increase donations, you must construct relevant buildings and facilities in surrounding areas. How much would it take?”

”Err …” Liu Shuai lowered his head to think about it, then he couldn't help but agree. ”You are right. I can't really calculate how much it would take, but it must be a huge number. But what if A Zhe is from an extremely rich family?

“Rich family?” Zhou Yuan sneered, ”Do you think a man from an extremely rich family would bring his beloved girlfriend to the place where we ate that day?”

”...” Liu Shuai went silent, and after a while, he said, “It may be possible, isn’t it?”

“Yep.” Zhou Yuan said seriously. ”We live in a world of novel written by an eighteen line poor novelist. He thinks that an extremely rich person will bring his girlfriend and have a candlelight dinner together with us losers in a Cantonese Restaurant, and he can use billions to make the small temple full of visitors and vehicles.”

“It’s not the time to joke.” I couldn't help but laugh, ”No matter what, we still saved them. By the way, it seems to me that you have calmed down a lot after coming back here this time, and your logical thinking is much better than before. You are not that garrulous anymore, ain’t you.”

”That's right.” Liu Shuai nodded his head in agreement. “You really made me in troubles with your words.”

“Really? I don't know,” Zhou Yuan thought about it, but it seemed that he did not recall anything excessive from before, ”I just feel that my brain is extremely clear. For example, this time when I went to Hangzhou, there was a person who wanted to hit me at the restaurant — —”

”Someone wants to hit you?” I couldn't help but become nervous as I looked at Zhou Yuan carefully, ”How is it, are you injured?”

”Of course not,” Zhou Yuan said. ”I saw him really hateful, and thought that he might have to hit someone else in the future, so when I dodged his attack, I se-cretly guided the other customers to stabbed four kitchen knives into his body. According to his condition, it should be very painful, but the police and doctors came and the doctor said that it was a slight injury. The police also said that it was appropriate self-defense, so I quickly got free to visit Wu Zhen.”

I was stunned by Zhou Yuan's understatement, ”Zhou Yuan, do you know what you are talking? You hurt a person, and you don't have a shred of fear or guilt? ”

”Why?” When Zhou Yuan heard my question, he felt it was very strange. “He was not going to die, and I didn't do it myself. Even the law can't do anything to me.”

”What about morality?” I couldn't help but ask.

”What is morality?” Zhou Yuan smiled at me, ”Alright, I'm full now. Thank you for treating me, I’m leaving first.”

As he spoke, he stood up and left the room with his stuff.

Liu Shuai and I were the only ones remaining and looking at each other.

”Tell me, what happened to Zhou Yuan?” I couldn't stand the silence in the room, so I asked.

”It looks like he has reached another stage.” Liu Shuai looked at the door of the room, as if Zhou Yuan was still there, then he sighed after a long while. ”If pre-viously he was subconsciously skilled in logical thinking but inconsiderate in lan-guage, then right now he would have already started to alienate.”
