Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

"..."

Xu Xiao was brushing his teeth by the river when two of his soldiers mysteriously dragged him toward the last tent. As they walked, they whispered, "Captain, we've found a fairy! It's true!"

Xu Xiao looked at Xiao Liu with a disapproving expression and kicked him in the butt. "I think you're so desperate for a wife that you've gone crazy. If you're crazy, then keep it to yourself. I'm still single, where am I going to find you a girl?"

"No, Captain, she's really a fairy! Go and see her! She's crying so hard we can't comfort her, and we're at our wits' end."

With some skepticism, I lifted the tent flap and sure enough, I saw a little girl sitting on a chair, head down, crying. She was dirty, with a few withered leaves clinging to her hair, and her face was covered in mud. Her messy hair was plastered to her cheeks, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

Is this what they call a fairy? You're so pathetic.

The young captain glared at the two soldiers beside him, his eyes conveying a single word: Get lost!

The two swallowed hard and reluctantly left the house.

"Little girl, where are you from? Are you lost? Where is your home? I'll take you home!" Xu Xiao tried to make his voice sound gentle so as not to frighten the little girl.

"Waaaaah... PLA uncles..." Yao Gongyue cried first, her eyes closed as she wailed and sobbed pitifully, "PLA uncles, I came to Japan for tourism, but I was kidnapped by bad guys and brought here. Please save me and take me back. My home is in Beijing... Waaaaah..."

Xu Xiao frowned and said seriously, "Don't cry yet. What's your name? If what you're saying is true, I'll report to my superiors and send you back!"

"Really?" Yao Gongyue didn't expect him to agree so readily. The excuses she had prepared were now useless. She wiped away her tears and stared straight at the man opposite her.

Xu Xiao finally saw the face in front of him clearly. The hair was a bit messy, and there was mud on the face, but no dirty spots. The skin was white and smooth, the eyes were red, the nose was also red, and the small mouth had a faint blush. The face was probably only the size of his palm, and it just bumped straight into his eyes.

The girl's beauty was too overbearing. Xu Xiao felt his heart skip a beat, his breathing became a little rapid, he took a step back, loosened the collar that was pressing against his Adam's apple, and continued, "Yes! You are a citizen of China, so of course we are responsible for your safety."

"My name is Yao Gongyue! I'm from Beijing, twenty years old, and a contracted actress at the Beijing Grand Theatre. You can look me up!"

Xu Xiao glanced at her, took out his phone from his pocket, and made a call.

He didn't even hang up. The on-site investigation confirmed that all the information matched up. Moreover, there was a record of Yao Gongyue's disappearance, but her family later withdrew their report.

"After you went missing, your family reported it to the police, but for some reason, they later withdrew the report." The man hung up the phone, his hawk-like eyes scrutinizing her beautiful face.

The fact that such a beautiful girl appeared alone at a military activity site could not help but attract his attention.

"I...I don't know either. Maybe my mom thought I was gone, so she left?" Yao Gongyue looked at the man in confusion, sniffed, "Uncle PLA, no matter what, can you take me back first before investigating? I really can't stay here any longer. What if...what if they find out and arrest me again?"

"Don't worry, I'll call the police for you. As long as you're telling the truth, no one can take you back."

"Don't call the police!" Yao Gongyue stood up from her chair, this time truly in tears. "That bad guy has a lot of influence, the police can't do anything about him. This is J country, you should know better than me that some countries' laws don't apply to the powerful and wealthy!"

Xu Xiao stared intently at the excessively beautiful young girl, who looked so pitiful. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel pity as a grown man, but his professional ethics forced him to restrain his nature and deal with her rationally.

"Rest first, give me some time. Don't worry, as long as your identity is not a problem, I will take you back!"

After saying that, he went out the door.

Exhausted and anxious, Yao Gongyue sat in a chair with her eyes closed to rest. At least there were Chinese soldiers here, so her safety was guaranteed. She didn't know if Jinjin had gone back yet. She hoped that Hong Jin wouldn't find out that Jinjin had helped her escape, otherwise Jinjin would be dead.

My dear Jinjin, I'm sorry, but it's better to sacrifice a friend than myself. Don't blame Mommy for being heartless. Mommy really had no choice, otherwise I wouldn't have let you be a left-behind child with your scumbag dad!

Half an hour later, Xu Xiao came in again, bringing her a small camouflage uniform. "This is all we have here. Your clothes are all dirty, so change into this. I've already reported your problem to my superiors, and I'll let you know when I have more information."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out stiffly. He didn't say anything. He had specifically called his father, who held a high position. He never spoke softly and pleaded with his father for a long time before the old man finally agreed to try to coordinate within the bounds of principle.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was a young girl, and it was the first time his 27-year-old son, who was still single, had spoken up because of a girl, the old man wouldn't have bothered to care.

The exchange meeting concluded successfully. At 4 p.m., a networking event arranged by the Chinese Embassy was held in the city, but Xu Xiao was unable to attend due to other commitments.

Yao Gongyue was sitting at the table eating a chicken leg when a tall figure pushed open the door and entered. "Yao Gongyue, the higher-ups have agreed to let us take you with us. The military plane will take off in half an hour. Get ready."

Even as her body took off with the military helicopter, with the lush greenery of Doukou Mountain beneath her feet, Yao Gongyue still couldn't believe that she had really escaped.

Large tears fell one by one onto the back of my hand. It felt like the past three months had been a bizarre and fantastical dream.

A tissue was handed to her. She looked up and met the man's reserved gaze. "Wipe your tears. Don't cry anymore, it's all over now!"

"Thank you!" she sniffed.

Is it really over?

As soon as the plane landed in Beijing, a police car was already waiting there. Xu Xiao was worried, so he accompanied the person to give a statement. This matter could be serious or minor, and he had to make sure that bringing the person back was the right decision.

After leaving the police station, Yao Gongyue's legs were trembling, and she sat on a chair at the entrance of the police station for a long time to recover.

"Little girl, get in the car!" Still in a daze, Yao Gongyue was brought back to her senses by a shout from not far away. She looked up and saw Xu Xiao sitting in the passenger seat waving at her.

"Thank you, Uncle PLA soldier, but no need. I can take a taxi back myself!" She bowed politely to Xu Xiao. If it weren't for this man, she might not have been able to come back.

Xu Xiao frowned and smiled wryly, "Am I that old?"

“This is about respect, it has nothing to do with age!” Yao Gongyue replied earnestly.

"Keep your respect in your heart. I don't have a girlfriend yet, and if I were that old, no one would want to marry me!" The man stared at her with deep, dark eyes.

"May good fortune be with you always, and may you have many children and grandchildren!" Yao Gongyue said, waving goodbye. "Thank you, goodbye!"

At this moment, the taxi stopped, and Yao Gongyue couldn't wait to get in and told him the store's address.

"Second Young Master, are you on leave today? Are you going back to the old mansion?" The driver glanced at the Second Young Master, who was staring intently at the departing taxi, and asked.

"Follow me!" Xu Xiao took out a cigarette and lit it. His chest felt tight. He didn't know why he was following her. He just inexplicably wanted to know where this little girl lived.
