Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

The winter solstice has passed, and snow has fallen in Beijing, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.

Yao Gongyue got out of bed in the morning, dawdled around, and finished washing up. Da Jiao and Xiao Jiao had already gone to the shop, leaving her some wrapped buns and porridge.

After breakfast, she tied her hair into a high bun. She wore a burgundy woolen cheongsam, white boots, and a fur coat that her mother had just bought for her—fluffy and as always, a sophisticated outfit.

Today was the day we were supposed to visit Zhenzhen, but for some reason, it's already 10:30 and there's still no news from Ouyang Xu.

After thinking about it, she finally made the call.

"Yueyue!" It was Ouyang Xu's usual clear and gentle voice on the other end. "I'm sorry, Yueyue, I promised to pick you up to see Zhenzhen, but something came up at the company and I really couldn't get away. Were you waiting anxiously?"

"It's okay, why don't you give me the address and I'll go by myself? I have to go to work tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll have time again!" Although Yao Gongyue was not happy that he stood her up, she understood. The president of a big company doesn't have that much personal time.

"I'll have the driver pick you up, see Zhenzhen, and then take you back, okay? It's a bit remote there, and I'm worried about you going alone!"

She looked down and fidgeted with her fingers for a moment, thinking that safety was the priority, and ultimately didn't refuse. "Then, thank you!"

Half an hour later, Yao Gongyue, carrying a bouquet of flowers and a chocolate cake that she had specially learned to make from her aunt the night before, got into the Ouyang family's driver's car.

Before getting on the bus, she sent a text message to her mother, telling her where she was going, what she was doing, and what time she would be home, so as not to worry them.

In the driver's seat was a man in his thirties, with a buzz cut, dark skin, and a full-sleeve tattoo on his left hand.

Yao Gongyue hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. Seeing her wary look, the man said, "Miss Yao? The young master asked me to take you to see Miss Zhenzhen!"

She then hesitantly got into the car.

The car quickly disappeared into the traffic. Nothing seemed amiss along the way, and the driver drove carefully. She gradually relaxed her guard, took out her phone from her bag, and reviewed the dance moves for tomorrow's job entrance exam. She didn't notice at all that the driver in front of her was glancing at her face through the rearview mirror from time to time, his eyes filled with a sinister smile.

The Ghost left the city and entered a sparsely populated rural road, winding its way up the mountainside. As it passed a bend, it slowed down and brushed past a low-profile heavy SUV next to it.

The strong, tall man rested one hand on the steering wheel, his rough hand on the car window, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers. Wu Meng reacted for two seconds, tilted his head and twitched his lips. This world is really damn small, you can run into this little thing anywhere.

However, wild beasts have an innately keen sense of smell, and that driver was a bit sinister.

The man threw away his cigarette butt, started his car, and followed them.

……

The mountain road became increasingly bumpy, and Yao Gongyue slowly felt uneasy. "Are you Ouyang Xu's driver?"

"Yes, Miss Yao!"

"what's your name?"

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, took a few seconds to process, and said, "Xiao Xu."

"This place is so remote, could we have gotten lost? Ouyang Xu would never let Zhenzhen live in a place like this!"

"That's right, Miss Yao, we'll be there soon!"

"Then turn on the navigation, let me check, so we can turn around in time if we go astray!"

"No need, Miss Yao, we'll be there soon!"

Yao Gongyue sensed something was wrong and stopped talking. She secretly reached into her bag, quickly unlocked it, and tried to call her mother.

Caught off guard, the car braked suddenly, the immense inertia nearly throwing her out. Her vision spun, and before she could even grab her phone, a flash of white light appeared, and a cold blade was pressed against the girl's slender neck.

An unprecedented sense of fear swept through her body. Her hands clenched into fists, her face deathly pale. She forced herself to look up. "Big brother, you're after my money. You can take all the cash and jewelry I have. But you're trying to kill me. I advise you to think twice!"

The car had been parked in a clearing next to a dense forest by the roadside. The area was sparsely populated and rarely saw any vehicles, making it difficult to detect a murder and body disposal.

The driver stared at her with his ruthless, dark eyes. "So young, yet so promiscuous. Need a man? Come with me. What are you doing trying to seduce married men?"

Yao Gongyue calmly observed the thug before her, her mind racing, "Are you one of Ouyang Xu's wife's men?"

"I'm taking your life for money, but I've changed my mind since you got on the bus. As long as you follow me from now on, I'll protect your life. With me protecting you, the Xiao family won't dare to do anything to you!" As the man spoke, his lewd hand lightly stroked Yao Gongyue's fair cheek, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

"What's so great about Ouyang Xu? He's just a pretty boy. If you're looking for a man, you should find someone as capable as me, baby. You'll see how good I am in a bit!"

"I didn't seduce Ouyang Xu!" Yao Gongyue quickly shrank back, shouting nervously, "I have a husband! My husband is very powerful. If you dare to lay a finger on me, he will definitely chop off your whole family!"

"Trying to scare me? I've been following you for a long time, and apart from Ouyang Xu, no other man has ever appeared by your side!"

"My husband is in Southeast Asia. He's not someone to mess with. Even Ouyang Xu wouldn't dare to mess with him. You dare to touch me?" Yao Gongyue's face was pale, her mind blank. She forced herself to calm down, after all, she was just a pampered twenty-year-old girl. Tears kept streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"I have no relation to Ouyang Xu. I only know Ouyang Zhen. You, your master must be mistaken. If you dare to lay a finger on me today, my husband will not let you off, nor will he let the Xiao family and the Ouyang family off."

She was at her wit's end and could only try to scare him. In truth, she didn't know whether Hong Jin would avenge her or laugh heartily at her death, now that she had come this far with him. After all, she was certain that Hong Jin would hate her to death.

The man didn't respond to her words, but instead looked her up and down with an extremely lewd gaze. "Rape and kill me first, or live a good life with me. I'll give you five seconds to choose."

Yao Gongyue was stunned, her face turned even paler, her lips lost their color, and her long, thick eyelashes trembled with tears. "I'm telling the truth. If you kill me, you will definitely not get away with it."

"You little slut, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

The man completely lost his patience, shoved her down onto the chair, and began tearing at her clothes.

Her coat was ripped off, but the hidden zipper on the back of her red cheongsam was small and hard to find. While the man was distracted, Yao Gongyue picked up her bag and smashed it hard on his forehead, then opened the car door and threw herself out.

"Damn it!" The man, clutching his dazed head, jumped out of the car, grabbed the hair of the girl who had fallen to the ground, and tried to drag her back into the car.

boom!

Suddenly, a large, ruthless hand grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up from behind. Before he could even regain his balance, he was punched several times in the face. Iron-like fists slammed into his head, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard from a great distance.

In less than three minutes, the man was knocked to the ground, unconscious.

Yao Gongyue sat on the ground, staring at Wu Meng who was descending from the sky. She was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. She just sat there in the snow, staring straight at the dark-faced man in front of her.
