Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

Hong Jin's private residence in Phnom Penh.

Hong Jie leaned back on the sofa, a wicked smile playing on his lips, his dark eyes occasionally glancing at his cousin who sat opposite him like a withered tree stump.

Hong Jin closed his eyes and tapped his long, crossed legs with his well-defined fingers.

At this moment, no one was more anxious than him, but that's just the kind of person he is; the greater the pressure, the more indifferent and aloof he appears on the surface.

"Ah Jin, say something!" Hong Jie couldn't hold back any longer. He lit a cigarette in frustration and threw the cigarette pack onto the coffee table in front of him with a loud noise, breaking the eerie silence in the room.

"Go back first, take good care of Snegov, and discuss the island operation plan with him. Once we determine Yuebao's exact location, we'll set off immediately!"

"No, you...aren't you worried that bastard will touch Yueyue? Yueyue, she—"

boom!

Before Hong Jie could finish his sentence, his cousin kicked a coffee table that hit his leg, forcing him to shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"If you dare bring this up in front of Yuebao, I'll kill you!" He squinted, his handsome face filled with murderous intent.

"It's best he didn't touch Yuebao. If he dared to touch her, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs, and I'll take out his father's ashes and burn them into bricks to pave the toilet!"

Hong Jie knew he couldn't keep his mouth shut and had said the wrong thing again, so he shrugged and said, "I'll pretend I farted!"

"Get the hell away from me, and don't show your face in front of me unless you have to!"

The man tilted his head back and closed his eyes again, feeling a tightness in his chest that threatened to explode.

The cell phone on the table rang at that moment.

"Young Master!" came the voice of his trusted aide.

"Say!"

"During this period, in addition to contacting local gangs, Hei Pu also frequently went to a church. This church was just a gimmick; in reality, it was a distribution center for illegal black market goods!"

The main members are a family of six. Except for John, who was previously sent away by Hippe, the rest are here, seemingly under restriction of their freedom. Furthermore, all of them have a considerable history of drug use.

"So, Hagnu used these people to control John?" A deep killing intent spread across the man's indifferent eyes.

"Yes!"

"Kill him!" He coldly squeezed out two words as his thin lips opened and closed.

"Huh?" The confidant on the other end almost thought he had misheard and didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Want me to say it a second time?"

"Young Master, please reconsider. These people still have some use to you!"

"No need! Kill them!"

The man spoke calmly and slowly. After finishing his last sentence, he hung up the phone, casually tossed it onto the coffee table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and his handsome face was hidden in the smoke, like an empty shell without a soul.

*******

John, who had lost an eye, was almost shot dead by Norman. His supposedly foolproof scheme was repeatedly found to have flaws by Norman.

"The moon is right, you're a piece of trash, there's no point in keeping you around!" The man was locked out of the room, and with nowhere to vent his anger, he could only take it out on the other man.

“My lord!” John knelt down in fright. “My lord, the lady’s resistance is not actually strong. It’s just that she is sensitive and suspicious. I have another way. I can hypnotize her while she is asleep. The effect will be better when she is completely unprepared!”

"Will it hurt her?"

"There will definitely be some injury, but not too much. It's just a slight loss of memory and a bit more emotional fluctuation. That's all!"

After a full half-minute of silence, the man finally put away his gun.

Although she can be quite troublesome when she throws a tantrum, what does it matter compared to losing her forever?

"This is the last time. If you mess up again, I'll skin you alive! Get ready!"

……

When Yao Gongyue woke up, her eyes were blank, and her delicate eyes were lost in thought for a few moments.

"Baby, you're awake?" The man standing by the bedside asked with a look of doting affection.

“Big blockhead…I had a dream…” She got up listlessly, hugged the man’s arm, and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I dreamt...I dreamt...I forgot..."

"It's alright, forget it, it was just a dream!" The man pulled her onto his lap. "Shall we go have breakfast?"

"Hold me!" She wrapped her arms around the man's neck, sweetly pleading.

"Okay! I'll go wash up first!"

Watching her go in and out of the room, washing her face, doing her skincare routine, and tying her hair, the man felt his heart was filled with joy.

So what if it's stolen or robbed?

As long as the person is by my side, the process doesn't matter!

Breakfast was simple, consisting of a few local specialties, seafood porridge, and several meat patties.

The moment she took a bite of the seafood porridge, her brows furrowed tightly. "Is this porridge spoiled? Why does it taste so strange?"

Nuohan glanced at her, then casually picked up her bowl, took a bite, and said, "It tastes pretty much the same as usual. Have you been eating too little these past few days and ruined your stomach?"

"Maybe!" She glanced disapprovingly at the dishes on the table; none of them looked appetizing. "I want a salad!"

"Okay! I'll have someone do it!"

The girl lay lazily on the dining table. "Why am I so tired? Should I go take a nap?"

"Okay! You go to sleep first, I'll bring it upstairs to you when it's ready!"

After she left, the man put down his cutlery. "Get John over here!"

In less than three minutes, the person had already entered. "Sir!"

"What's wrong? Why does she seem even worse than before? She looks completely lifeless."

"This is normal, sir. Hypnosis is extremely taxing on a person's mental energy. You just need to rest more!"

"Then why has her appetite changed? She can't eat anything?" Nuohan's face was as dark as ink, and he felt an indescribable sense of irritation and panic.

"But perhaps there's something wrong with Madam's health. Why don't we have a doctor come and give her a thorough medical check-up?"

He sighed deeply and waved for John to leave.

After a long while, the man went to the kitchen, dismissed the maid, made a salad himself, and thinking that she might not be full, he also warmed up some milk and made a simple sandwich to take upstairs.

"Moon, get up and eat something!" After placing breakfast on the bedside table, she turned and brought in a small table. "Come on, sit on the bed and eat. I'll clean up after you're done!"

"Wait until I wake up, I just fell asleep!"

"Listen to me, your stomach can't go hungry!" He pulled back the covers, lifted the person up, and said gently, "Just eat a few bites! I have an appointment with the doctor, he'll be here this afternoon!"

Why make an appointment with the doctor?

"You haven't been feeling well these past two days and haven't had much of an appetite. I was worried you might be sick. Don't worry, just get a checkup to put your mind at ease!" The man reached out to brush the stray hairs from her ear, and the girl turned her head almost reflexively.

"I...I thought you were going to hit me!" She laughed awkwardly. "It's human instinct!"

Nuohan paused, his hand still in mid-air, then raised it to pat the top of her head. "I love you so much, how could I possibly hit you? Eat!"

When the doctor arrived, Yao Gongyue was still curled up in bed, half asleep.

"Take a look at her!" The cold and ruthless man was not good with words. He directly brought the doctor to the bedroom. Since she was a female doctor, there was no need to be reserved.

The girl, who was lying listlessly in bed, looked up and saw the only unfamiliar face she had seen in days. She smiled politely and propped herself up on her arms to sit up.

She couldn't speak the local language and didn't communicate much with the doctor throughout the process. She simply cooperated with the examination and felt strange watching the doctor call Nuohan outside to talk.
