A feeling of weightlessness came over her and Lin Mingmo woke up in shock.

I just realized that I had been sleeping on the sofa for a long time, and the feeling of weightlessness just now was because I almost fell to the ground when I turned over on the sofa.

"Huh... I scared myself..." Lin Mingmo covered her forehead and picked up the phone on the coffee table to check the time.

It's already... half past six?!

She looked around, but there was no trace of Sheng Yuan in the room. She could only see through the window that the sky outside was already completely dark.

"Why haven't you come back yet..." Lin Mingmo grumbled in dissatisfaction. "You promised me you would come back at six to have dinner with me..."

However, Lin Mingmo's worries soon outweighed her dissatisfaction.

Sheng Yuan went to see Sheng Yang... nothing should happen, right? What if that crazy Sheng Yang set a trap for Sheng Yuan?

She quickly called Sheng Yuan and the call was quickly picked up.

"Momo, I'm attending Ayang's farewell banquet at Sheng's house. I'll be back later."

Sheng Yuan's voice on the phone was low and urgent. He didn't even give Lin Mingmo a chance to speak before quickly hanging up.

Knowing that Sheng Yuan was fine but still stood her up, Lin Mingmo felt angry.

What? You didn’t even tell me in advance that you weren’t coming back, and now you have to call and ask yourself.

It would have been fine if he had just called, but he actually hung up.

"Hmph!" She was so angry that she threw her phone to the ground.

The waiting time will be extended.

Just as Lin Mingmo was staring dejectedly at the TV in front of her, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Lin Mingmo walked to the door and looked at the bright red that occupied the entire screen.

It's a big bouquet of roses.

Lin Mingmo asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Sheng sent you this bouquet of flowers to express his apology. Please forgive him for breaking his promise."

Lin Mingmo raised her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up.

Okay, I'll play this trick again.

Lin Mingmo opened the door and reached out to hug the huge bouquet of roses.

Suddenly, the rose moved away, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face behind it.

Thin, pale, and lifeless.

"Xiaomo, long time no see." The hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Combined with that sickly face, it had a huge impact on Lin Mingmo.

"uncle……"

Lin Mingmo subconsciously sensed the danger and her instant reaction was to close the door.

An arm was caught in the door frame.

Lin Mingmo pulled the door with all her strength, hoping that the hand would feel the pain and retreat.

However, it failed.

The other side had more people and more power, and Lin Mingmo was ultimately no match for them.

A white cloth covered her mouth and nose. In less than three seconds, Lin Mingmo's vision became blurred and her consciousness faded.

Then, I knew nothing.

*

In the VIP box of Star Coast.

Sheng Yuan stared at Sheng Yang, whose face was flushed from drinking, with a cold and serious expression.

Originally, they had agreed to meet at Shengshi Group.

After meeting, Sheng Yang was really honest. He talked a lot to Sheng Yuan and told him many stories from his childhood.

Peace of mind, calm face.

After all, their lives overlap to a great extent and they have many memories in common.

Sheng Yang even confessed that he shouldn't have buried the puppy alive when he was a child.

Sheng Yuan looked into his eyes, trying to find a clue to identify his true intentions.

However, Sheng Yang seemed to be really saying goodbye.

"Maybe Jiangjin is not a place that suits me. The world is so big, there will always be a place where I can show my talents!" Sheng Yang was still in high spirits.

It’s still the same Sheng Yang.

But it seems that it was Sheng Yang who had not been disturbed by jealousy earlier.

Sheng Yuan gradually relaxed his guard against him.

"Uncle... No, brother!" Sheng Yang said jokingly, afraid of hitting himself in the mouth, "I'm used to calling you uncle, I can't change it for a while..."

"Call me Sheng Yuan." Sheng Yuan said in a calm voice.

Anyway, for Sheng Yuan, it would be equally awkward whether Sheng Yang called him "uncle" or "brother", so it would be better to just call him by his name.

"Sheng Yuan..." Sheng Yang touched the back of his head, "I'm about to leave, have a few drinks with me."

"You were the one who took me to drink for the first time..."

Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked intently into Sheng Yang's eyes.

Sheng Yang chuckled and deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Still don't trust me? Are you afraid that I'll set a trap?"

"Isn't your behavior strange? It's normal to be suspicious." Sheng Yuan did not hide it.

But deep down in his heart, he still had some expectations for Sheng Yang.

"Hmm..." Sheng Yang lowered his head in thought. "How about this, let's go to your territory, Xinghai Coast. You don't have to drink, just talk to me... Among the people in the Sheng family, you're the one I hate the most, but you're also the one I admire the most... You're also the one I trust the most..."

This sour remark was quite funny coming from Sheng Yang's mouth.

Sheng Yuan chuckled and agreed to Sheng Yang's request.

So, the two of them came to Star Coast together.

Sheng Yang really did what he said and drank one glass after another.

After a few drinks, he was already talkative, and now he talked even more, chattering on and on.

He even recounted the details of his first taste of the forbidden fruit with He Manman.

Sheng Yuan lost his patience as he listened, frequently checking his phone. He tried to leave several times, but was stopped by Sheng Yang.

"I'm leaving soon! Won't you stay with me till the end?"

"You must be thinking about her, right? Anyway... you still have plenty of time to spend with her in the future..."

As he spoke, Sheng Yang took the phone from Sheng Yuan and put it in his pocket.

He was drunk and had a strong desire to talk, saying over and over again, "No one can understand me... No one is on my side... No one really loves me..."

Helpless, Sheng Yuan could only stay with him.

"Let me tell you..." Sheng Yang said vaguely.

Suddenly, his blurred vision became clear.

Sheng Yang took out his cell phone and answered the call.

"Is it done?" Sheng Yang's voice suddenly turned cold. "Oh, finally I don't have to act anymore."

As he spoke, he looked up in Sheng Yuan's direction and said, "But don't say it, it's fun to fool fools."

Sheng Yuan narrowed his cold eyes, and his gaze became sharp.

He stood up, took two steps forward, grabbed Sheng Yang by the collar, and asked in a deep voice, "Sheng Yang, what on earth are you doing?"

I knew Sheng Yang had no good intentions.

So he remained alert and didn't drink a sip of wine.

"Sheng Yang! What did you do?"

Sheng Yang shrugged his shoulders and looked Sheng Yuan in the eyes with a provocative look, "What can I do? Just drink with you..."

His attitude was completely different from before.

Perhaps, this is his true nature now.

Sheng Yuan stared in deep thought, thinking about Sheng Yang's unusual behavior today and wondering why he did that.

He kept talking, pulling me in to talk... He brought me to Star Coast, where the lights in the box were dim and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, making me lose my sense of time...

He's stalling for time!

His target is not himself, but...Lin Mingmo!

Sheng Yuan shook off Sheng Yang and ran out.

"Momo!"

Watching Sheng Yuan leave, Sheng Yang finally burst into a heartfelt laugh. His laughter grew louder, more arrogant, and more maniacal...

"Sheng Yuan... you thought..." Sheng Yang laughed until tears came out, his voice broken, "Did you think it was over? No! The real show has just begun, hahahaha!"

Sheng Yuan drove back quickly.

It seemed as if the heavens were against him. At the intersection in front of Xinghai Coast, there were traffic police checking for drunk driving, which was unusual.

This also made him more certain that it was Sheng Yang's doing.

Sheng Yuan was extremely anxious, but he knew that he couldn't lose control now and couldn't let Sheng Yang catch him.

After cooperating with the breath inspection, Sheng Yuan almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed back to Yumei Garden as fast as possible.

On the way, he still held a glimmer of hope.

The security at Yumei Garden is very good, no unruly people can get in... Lin Mingmo is not a child, she won't open the door to strangers...

"Momo!"

Along with the sound of the door slamming open, Sheng Yuan's anxious cry was heard.

It was pitch black inside the house.

Sheng Yuan's heart sank, and he numbly pressed the light switch on the wall.

The room suddenly became as bright as day, but Sheng Yuan's heart was still trapped in darkness.

He walked slowly to the living room. The plush blanket on the sofa was disheveled and had lost its warmth.

Lin Mingmo's cell phone was lying alone on the carpet.

Sheng Yuan frowned and picked up the phone. Seeing the most recent call that was answered, he immediately understood.

He finally and cautiously jumped into the trap that was carefully laid for him.

He wanted to give Sheng Yang a second chance, but it was like giving him a second bullet.

The bullet hit Sheng Yuan right between his eyebrows.

Without time to feel sad, Sheng Yuan immediately contacted the security department of Yumei Garden to investigate all vehicles entering and leaving during this period.

He will definitely, definitely find Lin Mingmo.
