Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

The helicopter took off from Koh Long Samloem Island, passed through towering mountains, and arrived at a military base at the foot of Cardamom Mountain. Hong Jin carefully wrapped Yao Gongyue in a blanket and put her in the car, as if protecting her eyes. Yao Gongyue's head was never even slightly visible throughout the entire process.

Hong Jie was so angry his liver hurt. "Hong Jin, you son of a bitch, have some decency! I risked my life, and you won't even let me see Yueyue?"

"What's there to see? Haven't you ever seen a woman before? Go home and see your own wife!" Hong Jin rolled her eyes at her clueless cousin and didn't want to talk to him.

“Where did I get a wife? You forced her on me. It’s really fucking strange that my grandfather actually arranged for her to be in my private residence and forced me to get married!” Hong Jie was furious when he talked about this. “Go and talk to my grandfather and tell him to get rid of her as soon as possible. She’s crying and whining all day long. It’s so annoying.”

"This is your retribution for your promiscuity, take it!" The ruthless cousin glanced at him, sneered, and then turned to walk towards his friend.

“Jin, congratulations. I told you, your wife will definitely return to your side safely!” Snegov’s deep features revealed a cold and indifferent aura honed by years of killing.

Hong Jin bumped fists with him; the bond between men never needed many words. "Thanks, Snegov. I'll pay you the highest possible reward for this operation!"

"No need, I'm going to Dutra to replenish my weapons, just make sure I get the necessary assistance!"

“Okay! I’ll arrange it. You can choose any weapons you like, and I’ll arrange a special plane to transport them to you!” Hong Jin nodded readily.

Purchasing weapons is easy, but transporting them is difficult. Cross-border transport of weapons of mass destruction is not an easy task in any country. With the prince's promise, the profits from this operation are immeasurable.

After dealing with the military matters, Hong Jin turned and got into the car, not wanting to waste a single minute. He just wanted to go back to the manor, hold his beloved in his arms, and sleep to soothe the pain of longing he had endured for so many days.

The car drove away from the military base and sped towards the Cardamom Mountain Manor.

Yao Gongyue was half asleep, and in her dream she felt herself leaning against a strong thigh, which made her feel extremely safe. It was as if at this moment she could not think about anything, not worry about anyone hurting her, not think about where she was going, and just smell his clean and pleasant scent, and she could fall asleep peacefully until the end of time.

The road was not easy to travel. The military base was built in the jungle, and the entire route was a winding mountain road, bumpy and tortuous. The rainforest climate was changeable, and the air was humid and hot. Her stomach began to feel uncomfortable. Although her eyes were still closed, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed more and more deeply.

Hong Jin carried her the whole way, occasionally bending down to steal a kiss on her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her cherry lips. He couldn't get enough of kissing her. Looking down again, he noticed that she wasn't sleeping as soundly as before, and her complexion wasn't good. He felt uneasy.

"Sweetie, why don't you sit up and drink some water first?"

Yao Gongyue was dazed when he lifted her up. She leaned softly against his shoulder, her eyes closed, and waited for him to bring the water to her lips before she opened her mouth slightly and drank a little.

"Hang in there a little longer, okay? We'll be there soon after we pass the next town!" the man whispered gently in her ear, trying to comfort her.

"Where are you taking me? We're going from this deserted island into the deep mountains and forests. Isn't there a normal human settlement in this godforsaken place?" She rolled her eyes at the man, annoyed. "I think you and Nuohan are cut from the same cloth, neither of you is any good!"

Hong Jinjun's face turned cold. "We came from the field army's military base. Taking the mountain road back to the manor is the shortest route. If you don't like it, we can go back to Phnom Penh later. But you can't mention that dead man to me again, understand?"

"I'll bring it up, if you don't want to hear it, let me out of the car!" she said defiantly, rolling her eyes at the man before turning to him in surprise, "Nohan is dead?"

"He's dead. Ah Jie fired the shot himself." The man was still angry, arms crossed, his tone harsh. "What? Feeling sorry for him?"

"Yes! A little!" the girl readily admitted.

The man beside her instantly became like a lit powder keg, his eyes blazing with fire. He abruptly turned around and stared at her, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath, his blood rushing to his head, a lump forming in his throat, his face turning red.

"What are you looking at?" Yao Gongyue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, not caring at all. "Although I don't reject you, as you said, we are very close. But to be fair, Nuohan has also treated me well and has been very attentive to me. People aren't plants or trees. Even though I don't love him, I would definitely be sad to hear that he is dead!"

"Besides, he almost became my husband, and he died because of me. I'm really upset. If you can't accept it, there's nothing I can do."

"You...you..." Hong Jin's temples felt like they were about to explode, and he choked on his words. "What do you mean? Do you regret coming back with me, or do you regret not marrying him?"

"I don't regret anything. I just felt a little bad when I suddenly heard that he was dead, that's all."

"Are you still reasonable?"

"Can't you understand human language?"

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere inside the car suddenly froze. The driver in front tried to slow his breathing, wishing he could be invisible.

Suddenly, just as the car stepped onto the concrete bridge ahead, the front of the car lurched and the direction became uncontrollable.

"How the hell do you drive?"

The young master, who had nowhere to vent his anger, turned around and hissed at the driver, but then he immediately realized something was wrong.

By this time, it was getting dark and visibility was low. Several motorcycles sped towards the other side of the bridge, and their vehicles were completely out of control, crashing into the stone pillars on the side of the bridge.

The driver jerked the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. At the moment of impact, the car swerved and grazed the stone pillar, the loud, ear-piercing sound tearing through the night.

A motorcycle sped closer from the opposite direction, and the person on the back suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot the driver right between the eyebrows.

"Yuebao, watch out!" Hong Jin shouted urgently, grabbing Yao Gongyue's slender waist as he kicked open the car door with his right foot. There was no time for them to think; a bullet pierced the windshield and grazed their scalps.

bang bang bang-

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of gunfire erupted from all around them. They were in the middle of the bridge, with no way out at either end.

It was too fast. The attack happened so quickly, as if it only took a few seconds. Yao Gongyue didn't understand what was happening at all. She only knew that she was being held in this man's arms, and she heard his urgent, hoarse voice in her ear, "Hold your breath!"

Then came a moment of weightlessness, with icy river water engulfing me from all directions.

"Fire! Fire into the water! We can't let Hong Jin get away!"

The pursuers jumped off their motorcycles and opened fire on the water. Bullets whizzed into the water, and as the sky still held a few rays of light, the water gradually turned crimson. No one surfaced for a long time.

"Follow the current downstream! The young master said the reward will only be given upon finding the body!" one of the assassins shouted. Then, the group quickly got on their motorcycles and searched downstream along the river.
