Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

The hazy morning light finally pierced through the haze and thick foliage, spreading out across the landscape.

Yao Gongyue vaguely saw a long shadow disappear into the forest. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "Hong, Hong Jin, are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm terrified of snakes. How could I keep a python as a pet?"

The man couldn't help but chuckle. "You mean, I married the wrong woman? You're not the one I'm looking for?"

"There's...there's that possibility!" She hesitated, turning her head, her voice slightly weak.

The man was furious and pinched her waist hard with his large hand, saying, "Your brains have been ripped out, not mine!"

"Ouch, what are you doing? You're going to break my back!" She gasped in pain and tried to push the man away with her small hands.

"You won't learn your lesson if it doesn't hurt!" He released her large hand, then grabbed her wrist. "Come on, let's go to the river!"

Yao Gongyue was an idiot in the woods. She didn't know how this man could find his way. After walking for less than half an hour, the sound of rushing water came clearly.

"This place is open, Dassen should be able to find us soon. Hang in there a little longer, okay?"

He gently wiped the dirt off the girl's face, which was covered in stray hairs, and said, "Dirty little kitten!"

Yao Gongyue rolled her eyes at him, "As long as you can live, that's enough. What do you need a bicycle for at a time like this? People don't even care to show it to you!"

Although she was by the river, the water was yellow and murky, filthy. She would rather die than let that water get on her fair face. So what if it was dirty!

"So beautiful! Baby!" His eyes were filled with doting tenderness, his voice lingering, and he gently rubbed her fingers with his large hand. "My Yuebao, you're beautiful no matter what!"

Yao Gongyue was a little embarrassed and pouted, "That's more like it!"

The man pulled her into his arms. "Yuebao, you don't remember me now. You won't abandon me after we go back, will you?"

He was genuinely terrified. This little thing was fickle and timid. If it went back and realized what had happened, and started demanding to be separated from him, it would be the death of him. He was completely helpless.

The girl was held in his arms, her eyes glistening with tears, and she muttered to herself.

What's wrong with that jerk's brain? He saw right through her the moment she started to have an idea.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hong Jin knew he had guessed correctly. His pale lips trembled, his breathing became rapid, his handsome face was extremely tense, his dark eyes were sinister, and the large hand that was holding his waist gradually tightened its grip.

"You dare to even think about running away!"

"Ugh, I know, you rascal!" she replied impatiently.

"Huh, what's this?" She placed her hand on the man's back, feeling something sticky on her fingers. When she looked at it, she was shocked to see her hand covered in blood. "Your wound reopened?"

"Hmm! It seems so!" he replied.

Yao Gongyue then noticed that the man's face was unusually pale, and even his lips were white.

"Let me see!" She moved behind the man, pulled open his shirt, and was shocked. The wound was a bloody mess, especially the area on his shoulder, where the surrounding flesh was festering and bleeding continuously.

"It must have opened up when you were doing it, and then it got soaked in dirty water all the way here, that's why it's so bad, what should we do?" She anxiously grabbed the man's arm, "Will it get infected? Does it hurt? Is there any way to stop the bleeding?"

"It's okay! It doesn't hurt! Jinjin will be here with people soon, I can handle it."

Her dark, sparkling eyes shimmered as she looked up at him, her cherry lips trembling slightly. "Really? You're not lying to me!"

"will not!"

buzzing...

A high-definition reconnaissance drone flew along the river, and its infrared sensors quickly captured thermal images of the two people, which were then sent to a military helicopter hovering over the dense forest. The helicopter locked onto the location and landed quickly.

The propeller whipped up a gust of wind, and Hong Jin pulled her tightly into his arms, his voice hoarse as he whispered in her ear, "Yuebao, we're home!"

For some reason, Yao Gongyue was deeply moved by the words "go home," pursed her lips, nodded, and obediently got into the helicopter with him.

From the moment she left Gaolong Salem Island with him until now, in Yao Gongyue's eyes, this man was handsome, intelligent, and as strong as a wild beast. So subconsciously, she always felt that when he said he was fine, he really was fine.

But once they boarded the helicopter, and the military doctor quickly examined his wounds, his eyes wide with shock and his brows furrowed, she suddenly realized she was wrong. He was also made of flesh and blood, a human being. To have suffered such severe injuries and, in the words of the military doctor, not collapsed was nothing short of a miracle.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, and she had no way of knowing whether he was resting because he was too tired or had fainted because his wounds were too serious. But his hand was still gripping her wrist tightly, and he never let go for a moment.

Dassen looked at the aloof and dignified gentleman, who was covered in wounds and looked disheveled, yet he seemed to care about everything, fearing that the young mistress would run away again. He sighed heavily and shook his head, but dared not say anything.

The helicopter landed at the manor quickly. Yao Gongyue nudged Hong Jin, but he didn't react at all.

"Madam, the master is too badly injured and has fallen into a coma. He was able to hold on until we arrived, all thanks to his determination to protect your safety!" After the doctor finished speaking, he directed people to carry the seriously injured and unconscious Hong Jin into the car.

Yao Gongyue was held by the wrist and had no choice but to follow him up.

"Hong Jin!" On the way to the international hospital belonging to the manor, Yao Gongyue whispered in his ear.

"The doctor needs to perform surgery on you, and my wound also needs treatment. If you're holding me, they can't treat me!"

The man still didn't react.

“Young Madam!” Dassen finally couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up, “What the master wants is a promise!”

The girl was so angry she laughed.

She lowered her head again. "You scoundrel, you know I'm heartless. Even if I make a promise, I'll go back on my word in a heartbeat! Instead of that, you might as well cooperate with the doctor and get up. Even if I run away, you can still catch up, right?"

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

Finally, after a dozen seconds, the man loosened his grip.

Yao Gongyue smiled and secretly kissed the corner of his mouth. "Good boy, this is your reward!"

……

"Why isn't he awake yet? Are you bunch of doctors trying to fool us?"

Outside the top-tier luxury ward of the international hospital, Hong Jie rushed over in a flurry of activity, nearly blowing the roof off the room the moment he entered.

"He's just been feeding a bunch of good-for-nothings!" he said, pushing open the door and going inside.

At this moment, the girl, whose wounds had been treated, was wearing a nurse's uniform, her freshly washed hair still dripping wet, sitting quietly eating cake next to Hong Jin's hospital bed.

"Yueyue!" It had been so long since he had seen this face. Even without makeup, she was still so beautiful that it made people's hearts skip a beat. Hong Jie's cold and ruthless face instantly lit up with joy.

"Who are you?" Yao Gongyue raised her eyes, glanced at the brute indifferently, and then lowered her head to continue eating.

"It's me, Hong Jie! Little Jie Jie! You forgot?" The man excitedly took a few steps closer.

The beautiful young woman maintained her indifferent expression. "Oh! Sorry, I completely forgot, someone ripped out my brains!"

Hong Jie's face instantly darkened. "What did you say? Who hurt you? I'll shoot him dead!"

"Didn't he die by your gun?"

"Hagnu?"

Yao Gongyue didn't speak again, and the room fell silent.

……

The fiery clouds at dusk were intense and brilliant, shining through the huge French windows onto the girl Yao Gongyue who stood quietly by the window, her mind heavy with worries.

She originally wanted to leave, but when she thought of what Dasen had said, "Young Madam, if you leave again this time, the master's life will really be over!" she suddenly couldn't bear to leave.

She wasn't someone with an overflowing sense of compassion, but when she thought of the reassuring feeling she had when she first saw him on the island, and the warmth and sense of security he exuded in the jungle, she felt a strange sense of attachment and reluctance to part with him.

"Yueyue, are you hungry? I had someone specially find a Chinese chef to make these dishes, come and try them!" Hong Jie pushed in a food cart full of Chinese dishes, showing it off like a treasure.

Yao Gongyue frowned helplessly. "Thanks, but I'm not too hungry yet. Hong Jin hasn't woken up yet!"

All afternoon, this man was like a peacock displaying its feathers, constantly running in to fawn over her. If Dasen hadn't said he was Hong Jin's cousin and the Supreme Commander of the J Country Army, Yao Gongyue would have really thought he was some rich playboy.

"Young Master Jay!" Dassen followed him in, offering kind words of advice, "The master will wake up soon, and perhaps he has already regained consciousness. I advise you to stay away from the young mistress. I think you know better than I do how the master can be ruthless when he's angry!"

Hong Jie choked on his words, unable to swallow them, and pointed at Dasen for a long time before finally pulling his finger back. "I'll come back tonight!"

He dared not provoke Hong Jin now; if that kid pulled some dirty trick and forced his family to marry him, he would be completely finished...
