Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

I don't know if the wind and snow blinded my eyes, or if regret clouded my heart.

He rushed out of the villa gate; the dim yellow light was dim, and the road was deserted.

The man stood at the intersection, looked around, wiped his face hard, and turned to run back.

The surveillance footage shows that she walked to the door, and after taking only a few steps, a black SUV drove up from behind. After saying something, she opened the car door, got in, and then disappeared down the mountain with the car.

On the deserted mountain road, the SUV drove exceptionally steadily. The man in the driver's seat glanced at the girl with a cold face next to him out of the corner of his eye. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, yet she was like a rose sealed in an ice box. She really was so charming, even when she was angry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you. I just wanted to make sure you're really safe one last time," Xu Xiao explained.

"If I were ugly, would you still be so persistent in pursuing me?" She didn't turn her head, but asked calmly.

The man was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "I admit, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." He felt there was nothing wrong with saying it, "But, being pretty alone is really not enough to win my heart."

"..."

"I've seen beautiful women before, but I've never been so captivated by you, unable to forget you."

Yao Gongyue finally showed some reaction on her face, turning her head and frowning as she looked at him.

Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I know I don't have a chance anymore. I just wanted to express my true feelings so I won't have any regrets."

Yao Gongyue: "..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, the man continued the previous topic, "Sitting in your office today, I was still asking myself, what is it about you that I like? Am I really just lusting after you?"

But it wasn't until you left the hospital that I realized, no.

More than your beauty, it's your natural, unpretentious charm, your perfectly balanced allure, and your soft yet resilient personality that's most captivating—it's like poison to men.

Yao Gongyue got goosebumps listening to this, rolled her eyes inwardly, and four words flashed through her mind: "Straight man of steel."

The phone rang in my pocket. I pulled it out with difficulty, glanced down at the caller ID—"You annoying jerk."

She herself found it ironic; she had only entered the nickname as a joke to tease him, never expecting it to be so fitting now.

I turned off my phone, but less than three seconds later it started ringing again like a death knell.

“If you don’t answer, he’ll keep calling!” Xu Xiao glanced at her with a half-smile.

"how do you know?"

"If you were my girlfriend, I would do the same."

Yao Gongyue, "..."

The ringing phone was annoying, so she tried to take it out again to hang up and turn it off, but it was inconvenient to operate with her left hand, and she accidentally pressed the answer button.

From the other end came Hong Jin's almost frantic voice, "Baby, make him stop the car!"

"Go back now, I'm going home. Don't follow me."

"Yueyue!" he squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth.

"Stop the car, or I'll run him over."

Yao Gongyue turned around almost instinctively.

A black Ghost followed behind, the most understated car in his garage. It was the one she personally requested, so he changed it because he didn't want to be too high-profile when picking her up in the future.

"Hong Jin, have you gone mad?"

"Honey, you know I can calculate the angle and speed at which I can crash into him, guaranteeing I'll kill him without hurting you. Want to give it a try?"

The man's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly eerie, or rather, it sounded like madness.

Yao Gongyue's heart clenched tightly. "You're crazy, Hong Jin, you're really crazy."

“I don’t want to kill anyone in China unless that person absolutely has to die, and clearly, he falls into the latter category.”

There was no music playing in the car at the moment, and Xu Xiao, with his excellent hearing, could naturally hear the voice on the other end of the phone. Compared to Yao Gongyue, he was much calmer. "Don't worry, I will take you home. And I promise, no one can take you away."

Hong Jin was wearing a Bluetooth headset, and the man made no attempt to hide his provocation, his words piercing the eardrums with every utterance.

The dim streetlights on both sides rushed past. It was past rush hour, and it was a snowy night in the suburbs. There were hardly any people around. The two cars were speeding along, tense and on the verge of colliding.

"You...you don't be impulsive...I...I'll get down..." Yao Gongyue's lips were trembling. She knew Hong Jin too well. This bastard might not mean what he said, but if he said he would kill someone, he would definitely do it.

The man on the other end gave a cold laugh. "Good boy, thirty seconds. Start the timer now."

"Hong Jin, you are absolutely heartless! I already told you I would come down." Her voice trembled and clearly choked with sobs.

“If you dare to get in his car, you should have known I’d go crazy, baby. There are only twenty seconds left.”

"Stop the car, Xu Xiao, stop the car now!" She gripped the seatbelt tightly, cold sweat beading on her fair forehead, and tears of fear welled up in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, he won't crash into you!" Xu Xiao turned his head and calmly reassured him, but instead of stopping the car, he floored the accelerator.

For some reason, having her sitting next to him always easily ignited his sense of heroism.

"Are you crazy? Stop the car, Xu Xiao! He really will hit us! Stop the car, I beg you! I was just being stubborn with him, I didn't really want him to get hurt. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The girl broke down in tears, out of fear, but mostly out of regret. She regretted saying such hurtful things to Hong Jin. She knew he was just a little jealous, she knew he just wanted her to comfort him.

But she was used to being free and undisciplined, and didn't like being managed or restrained, so she threw a tantrum. She didn't expect it to lead to the current situation.

“Hong Jin, don’t be impulsive. He won’t stop the car. Don’t be impulsive. I don’t want you to kill someone. I don’t want you to go to jail…”

Yao Gongyue held her phone to her mouth with one hand, crying sadly and pitifully. She truly regretted it, but at this moment, she seemed powerless to do anything about it.

This is no longer a quarrel between lovers, but a life-or-death struggle between two males.

She didn't understand Xu Xiao, so she could only coax Hong Jin, thinking that Hong Jin would listen to her.

But even fierce beasts can sheathe their claws for love, and can also become obsessed with love.

She underestimated Hong Jin's tolerance for her flirting with other men.

“Baby, I heard you, don’t cry.”

His voice turned extremely cold and harsh, "Fasten your seatbelts and close your eyes!"

Yao Gongyue's mind went completely blank for a moment, and she screamed, "Hong Jin..."

boom!

There was a loud bang.

The force of the impact left Yao Gongyue weak all over and her face pale. She turned her head blankly and saw Xu Xiao beside her, who was in pain, clutching his left arm.

Outside, just as the Ghost was hurtling towards them, a black McLaren appeared out of nowhere and came straight at them, deflecting the Ghost's potentially fatal impact. The three vehicles collided, and although the black SUV was thrown several meters away and the driver was injured, it was the best outcome compared to losing his life.

Wu Meng got out of the car, glanced at the dented luxury car, and yelled at Ghost, "Hong Jin, I owe you a damn thing! All you do is fight and kill people every day. Are you living a good life but it hurts your wallet?"

If the villa's housekeeper hadn't noticed something was wrong and called him, this guy probably would have already run someone over and killed them.
