The old man was so angry that he could barely speak.

Pointing at Li Mu, he said, "You...you...you have no manners. You're obviously not a good person. Who would dare ask you to give up your seat?"

Li Mu suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. You're also picking on the weak, old man."

"I'm a grown man, and I can't afford to mess with people. I just think young girls are easy to bully, so I deliberately cause them trouble."

The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

After a long pause, she pointed at him and said, "You're talking nonsense, you're being unreasonable, you have no conscience, your conscience is completely rotten."

Li Mu remained unmoved, smiled, and said, "It's hard to say which of us is more wicked!"

"Sir, you just said that young girl was harassing you. You're so old, don't you know any shame? I think it's not certain who's harassing whom!"

"What did you say? Do you think I'm lying? Everyone saw it just now, they can all testify for me," the old man quickly said.

Li Mu smiled and said, "That's hard to say. Some people appear virtuous on the surface, but are actually scheming and wicked in private!"

"I'm asking you, there are so many passengers on the bus, there are plenty of people who can make room for you, why are you only bothering that girl?"

“That girl is so pretty, but she looks so unwell and clearly needs to sit down and rest. You ignored all that and started pestering her as soon as you got on the bus, nagging her to give up her seat.”

"Knowing full well that the young woman also needs to rest, you ignored all the other passengers on the bus and just kept bothering her. What were you thinking? I'm almost embarrassed to say anything to you."

The old man's face turned red with anger, and his fingers trembled as he accused him: "You're talking nonsense! What can I do at my age? How dare you slander me like this! Young man, you have no conscience at all!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "You think I'm slandering you? Fine! Let me explain. This girl is the prettiest on the whole bus, like a flower. You've been standing next to her ever since you got on the bus, staring at her and pestering her until now. Why are you doing this?"

The old man blushed and stammered for a long time before saying, "I'm so old and I don't have a seat. I just want her to respect the elderly and give me a seat."

Li Mu retorted, "Didn't you see that the young lady didn't look well? There are so many young people on the bus who would give up their seats, like me. Why are you singled out that young lady and harassing her until now?"

The old man was speechless after being asked the question.

"I...I...I just thought you were someone I couldn't mess with. Besides, was I wrong? Even if I asked you, you wouldn't give up your seat for me."

Li Mu nodded: "So, sir, you admit that you bully the weak and fear the strong, that you specifically pick on the easy targets, and that you specifically find a girl to make someone give up their seat for you."

"They were tired and didn't want to give in, but you deliberately tried to gain their sympathy and bullied them, and you've been criticizing them ever since."

"Then tell me, where is your manners? You bully the weak and fear the strong, treating people like pushovers. What right do you have to talk about that girl?"

The old man was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Li Mu and said, "I...I...I didn't notice that the young lady looked unwell at first. I only noticed it later."

Li Mu countered, "Since you discovered it later, why keep pestering and nagging as if the girl had done something heinous?"

"Explain this to me?"

The old man was dumbfounded by the question, and he plopped down on the car and started throwing a tantrum.

"I don't want to live anymore. You, a young woman and a young man, are bullying an old woman like me and slandering my innocence. I don't want to live anymore..."

Li Mu smiled faintly, acting as if nothing had happened.

He uttered two words: "Whatever! If you're so tough, try not living yourself. I'll call an ambulance for you."

The old man stiffened, and his voice became much softer.

Seeing the grateful look in Ye Lanqiu's eyes, Li Mu nodded to her. Just then, they arrived at their stop. Ye Lanqiu got up and got off the bus, and Li Mu smiled faintly and followed suit.

This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!

The two got out of the car together, and Ye Lanqiu whispered, "Thank you for earlier."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's nothing. I couldn't stand by and watch the old man bully a young girl like you, showing no respect for his age."

Ye Lanqiu finally had time to take a closer look at him. He was tall, strong, and handsome, giving people a sense of security, which was exactly what she had lacked since childhood. Coupled with what had just happened, she immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

Her mood seemed to improve, and she smiled at him: "I'm not a little girl anymore, I'm twenty-seven this year."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then we're the same age, I'm twenty-seven too."

"My name is Li Mu, what's yours?"

"Ye Lanqiu".

"Good name!"

"Leave me your phone number!" Li Mu said.

Ye Lanqiu didn't want to stay; in her current state, she didn't have much energy left. But in the end, she couldn't bear to refuse.

He nodded and smiled brightly: "Okay!"

After exchanging phone numbers, Li Mu said sincerely, "You can call me if you need anything. Don't worry about bothering me, I'm always available."

Ye Lanqiu felt a warmth in her heart: "Okay!" But she knew she wouldn't make that call.

Perhaps knowing her days were numbered, Ye Lanqiu reflected on her short life and felt many regrets. There were so many things she hadn't tried, so many things she hadn't enjoyed, and now her life was about to end.

It leaves one with a sense of regret and yet also with much to ponder.

Perhaps it was this state of mind that made her once calm heart unable to remain composed, causing many ripples to appear.

She sensed Li Mu's affection for her; the young man was enamored with her. If she hadn't known her physical condition, she might have tried to get to know him and experience the beauty of life.

But now that I know my days are numbered, I'm afraid.

She wanted to leave a perfect impression on Li Mu, the man she had developed feelings for, not on him as someone terminally ill and with little time left.

Perhaps the best thing is to simply forget each other in the vast world and leave behind a beautiful feeling.

Their meeting was perhaps the final consolation from heaven for her short life! Ye Lanqiu thought silently.

After watching Ye Lanqiu leave, Li Mu finally had time to check on the mission.

Task 1: Help Ye Lanqiu regain her confidence in life and her hope for survival.

Task Two: Punish the wicked and promote the good, and punish those who distort the facts, attack others wantonly, and are full of malice.

These two tasks are exactly what Li Mu wants to do. Ye Lanqiu has advanced cancer, and with the current level of medical technology, it is almost impossible to cure her. She doesn't have much time left.

Most people would probably give up, letting the other person live happily in the days to come and complete their final journey.

Li Mu is no ordinary person. With the help of a system, late-stage cancer is not so terrible for him.

As long as Ye Lanqiu musters the courage to live and regains confidence in life, there is still hope.

One reason why Ye Lanqiu committed suicide was her upbringing. As an orphan, she experienced the harsh realities of life, making her inherently sensitive and pessimistic. Faced with an incurable disease and having no one to confide in, her spirit was instantly shattered.

If someone could share her burden and help her relieve her stress, things might be much better.

Secondly, there was cyberbullying. Already terminally ill and with little time left, Ye Lanqiu was further subjected to a malicious reporter who distorted the facts, triggering cyberbullying. Faced with relentless attacks from netizens, this was another heavy blow to Ye Lanqiu, who was already heartbroken.

It made her completely despair of the world and of life, leaving her with no more attachment.

Therefore, Li Mu was happy to undertake the second task: to punish those who distorted the facts and maliciously attacked others.

He wants these people to experience the taste of cyberbullying, the taste of being unable to move an inch, and the taste of being despised by thousands.

Evil deeds will be punished.

With these thoughts in mind, I unconsciously started walking forward when I suddenly heard someone shout from the side.

"Stop! Thief! Catch the thief!"

"Stop! Don't run away!"

Li Mu looked up and saw two people running into the factory building ahead, one after the other. The person behind looked somewhat familiar to him. After thinking for a moment, he realized that it should be Yang Shouchang from the movie, Chen Ruoxi's boyfriend and Yang Jiaqi's cousin.

In the drama, Yang Shoucheng didn't catch the thief because there was a video on his phone that he and his girlfriend Chen Ruoxi had filmed together—the kind of video that everyone is imagining. The next day, he even paid the thief to redeem the phone.

Then, unwilling to give up, he started fighting with the thief.

So? Thinking of Chen Ruoxi, the mastermind behind the cyberbullying, the image of Yao Dazui flashed into Li Mu's mind. Li Mu sneered and walked over, wondering what kind of editor this was who distorted the facts and wantonly attacked others with cyberbullying.

What would it feel like to retaliate against someone's cyberbullying in kind?

Will they vehemently condemn the cyberbullies, or will they repent for their actions? It's unlikely they'll repent; they'll probably just think they were unlucky and careless. They won't admit they did anything wrong and are being punished.

Sure enough, Yang Shoucheng was still disoriented inside the factory, searching everywhere for someone. The thief had already run out from another exit and happened to pass by him.

Watching the thief swagger over, it would be hard to believe he was a thief if you hadn't seen his face earlier. Li Mu smiled slightly, watched him pass by, and silently followed, delivering a palm strike to the thief's neck.

The thief didn't even have time to struggle before collapsing to the ground.

Li Mu pulled out the other man's belt and tied him up tightly.

Only then did he take out Yang Shoucheng's mobile phone. It was 2012, and smartphones had only recently become popular. This one just happened to be one.

Li Mu pulled out the short video and glanced at it briefly. The body was not good, and the posture was terrible. He closed it after a quick glance.

With a few simple steps, I quietly uploaded the short video to the cloud drive, erased all traces, and put the phone back into the thief's pocket.

He grabbed the thief, tossed him into a conspicuous spot next to the factory, and strolled away leisurely.

Less than a minute later, Yang Shoucheng, unable to find the thief in the factory, ran out anxiously. Then he saw the thief lying there, tightly bound, and pounced on him.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and headed towards his residence.

On the way, I sorted through my memories again.
