Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

After the Yangko dance incident, the director was almost furious, but she couldn't openly find fault with Yao Gongyue, so she could only keep an eye on Yao Gongyue's attendance and work to find fault.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when the annual leave finally arrived.

"If you ask me, baby, you should quit your job and go home to focus on your studies after the New Year. Your studies are the most important thing. You don't need to go to that lousy class where you have to be subservient to everyone. Your aunt can support you!"

Xiao Jiao muttered to herself as she made dumplings.

Yao Gongyue took her annual leave and went home the next day, refusing to go back to the villa no matter what. Da Jiao and Xiao Jiao were happy to accept this, and since Hong Jin couldn't coax her away, he simply moved in himself.

“Auntie, I’m a little rich girl now, I should be supporting you!” She nestled barefoot on the sofa, holding the fried dough sticks her mother had just made, eating them with relish.

"Auntie is right, Yuebao. Why don't you stay home and study after the New Year? Peking University isn't easy to get into, so you'll have to put in some effort." Hong Jin came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks. The young master had a floral apron tied around his waist and was learning to make special snacks with his mother-in-law. He looked like a domestic husband, and his handsome face was very pleasing to the eye.

Yao Gongyue rolled her eyes at him. "Am I not trying hard enough? You force me to do practice questions every day, and I've almost gone bald from all that staying up! If it weren't for your handsome face, I would have dumped you long ago!"

"Baby, you can't bully Xiaojin like that, or Auntie will get angry!" Xiaojiao rolled her eyes at her daughter. She and Dajiao both liked this prospective son-in-law very much, and Wu Meng, that good-looking eldest son, had to step aside.

"I'm telling the truth, Auntie. Don't be fooled by his appearance. He's ruthless. When he forced me to study, he was cold-blooded, heartless, cruel, and absolutely inhuman!"

Hong Jin smiled faintly, took two steps to her, pulled out a tissue to wipe her greasy mouth and fingers, and said, "Are you feeling so wronged? How about I give you a day off tomorrow and your husband will take you out to play?"

"playing what?"

"Live-action CS?"

"Not interested in!"

"Go shopping and see a movie?" the man probed again.

"Boring!" She pulled her hand away from his and glared at him disdainfully.

"So what do you want to play? Just say it!"

"There's an anime convention tomorrow, and I want to cosplay!" She finally blurted out her thoughts.

"Okay!" The man ruffled her hair. "But you can't wear anything too revealing!"

"Okay, okay, you old fogey!"

Hong Jin affectionately pinched her rosy cheek, "Go wash your hands and eat!"

The phone on the table rang at that moment, and the man pressed the answer button, "Hello! Meng!"

"Ah Jin, the military government has suddenly turned against my father. I'm worried there's something fishy going on, so I have to go back!"

Hong Jin's legs, which were heading towards the kitchen, suddenly stopped. His dark eyes narrowed, and he reached out to untie his apron and walk towards the door. "When are you leaving?"

"Two hours later!"

"you alone?"

“I’ll take Zhenzhen with me! Her mother’s mental state is such that she can’t be separated from her father. Ouyang Xu is like a robot all day long, only knowing how to work. There’s no one to take care of her. I have to bring her with me!”

"Okay! Be careful on your journey!"

After hanging up the phone, Hong Jin felt vaguely uneasy, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The next day, the weather was fine!

The girl in the pink dress was exceptionally pretty, like she stepped out of a comic book. The two men standing next to her were handsome and tall, with outstanding temperament, but their aura was so strong that many people looked in their direction, but no one came over to take a picture or chat with her.

Yao Gongyue glanced at Hong Jin and Ba Lu, who were standing expressionless behind her, and frowned slightly. "Could you two please stay away from each other? You look like two black-faced demons. Don't scare my friend!"

"You do your thing, we won't bother you!" Baru looked at her exaggerated pink hair with disdain, thinking to himself, "She looks like a primary school student. I don't know what kind of perverted fetish Jin-ge has. My Xi-xi is much better."

"No, you two are too conspicuous." Yao Gongyue waved her fairy wand and pointed to the coffee shop not far away. "You two go wait there. Don't worry, our activities today are in this mall, we're not going anywhere else!"

"Okay! Then don't go too far. Come over and get something to eat when you're tired of playing!"

She had a bad day at work recently, and was finally in a good mood today. Not wanting to spoil her mood, Hong Jin turned around and went into the coffee shop with Baru.

To the two men who had grown up amidst battlefields and power struggles, comic conventions were utterly incomprehensible and childish. Baru took out his phone to play military games to pass the time, while Hong Jin sat on the sofa studying futures. Neither of them noticed that several plainclothes officers entered the coffee shop and walked straight toward them.

When the police showed their identification, the man narrowed his eyes, calmly put away his phone, and said, "Reporting me for drug smuggling? Where's the evidence?"

"Our men just found drugs in your car. We'll talk at the station. This is a public place; you'd better not try anything funny! Just come with us!"

"I need to call my lawyer!"

"Once you get to the bureau, we'll naturally make the connections for you!"

"I need to tell my fiancée!" Anger gradually surfaced on the man's sinister face.

"No, you can't contact anyone right now. Come with us immediately, or we will take coercive measures against you!"

"Damn it!" Baru slammed his phone onto the sofa and tried to get up, but Hong Jin pressed him down. "I'm going with you!"

"This boy must go too!"

……

With the Spring Festival approaching, the mall was packed with people, and no one noticed the conversation between the men. Hong Jin stood up, his gaze passing through the crowd, and he only saw the back of her head with pink pigtails.

Yao Gongyue and the girls she was playing with took a picture. They were attracted by a man in the distance who was displaying tarot cards and cosplaying as a wizard. The man was so handsome. He had blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, a tall and slender figure, and was wearing a black cloak. He looked mysterious.

"Hey bro, are you really good at playing tarot cards?" A few girls gathered around, and one of the bolder ones asked.

"I not only know tarot cards, but I can also read minds. I can see your past and future, your past and present lives!" The cool, exotic man spoke, his Mandarin not quite standard, but he could express himself clearly.

"I don't believe it!" the girl shook her head. "Unless you can do the calculation for me!"

"Sure, you can read the tarot cards here. But to know about your past, I need to go to a quiet place!"

The handsome man spoke with a straight face, and the girls exchanged glances, unable to suppress their curiosity. "Okay, let's go over there." She pointed to the stairwell not far away, a place usually deserted. The girls walked over to the tall man.

At first, it was just out of curiosity, but as the man provided more and more information, and it became more and more accurate, the group couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"Huh! This is weird, I... I don't want to count..." Yao Gongyue was the most cowardly and was the first to back down.

The man glanced at her. "Little sister, if you're scared, you can try something else, like soul soothing!"

"What is that?" Her curiosity was piqued.

"It belongs to the category of mental stress reduction, which can minimize the impact of recent unpleasant events on your mental state."

Yao Gongyue was a little scared and shook her head in refusal, but the other girls insisted on playing, and she couldn't suppress her curiosity, so she stood aside and watched.

As the man took out a cross-shaped necklace with his long, slender hand and waved it in front of them, drowsiness slowly washed over them, and all the girls closed their eyes and fell asleep.
