Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

A dark and stormy night for murder...

At one o'clock in the morning, Hong Jin's phone vibrated on the bedside table. The sleeping beast instantly opened its eyes, and its first reaction was to check if the person lying in its arms had been awakened.

Seeing that she simply turned over and went back to sleep, he took his phone and left.

"Ah Jin!" It was Hong Jie's voice on the other end.

"It's been pried open. It's Pu Du. Ever since he inherited the Pu family's military power, he's been directly opposed to the Hong family. He's done a lot of things to trip me up, both openly and secretly. I never thought that this heartless bastard would actually dare to target you."

“Pu has the motive, but not the brains. He must have accomplices!” The man sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed. He didn’t turn on the light, and his wolf-like eyes gleamed coldly in the night.

“He’s always been close to Rhodes, who’s now leading troops under my command!”

"Rodo? Which Rodo?" The man recognized the name but couldn't quite place it.

"Bolang Luoduo, his father was the former deputy chief of the Phnom Penh police, the one you killed!"

Hong Jin raised an eyebrow. "Well, he also had his reasons for taking action. Luo Duo knew I killed his father, and Pu Du was afraid I would strip the Pu family of their military power. The two of them colluded."

The cigarette glowed and dimmed between the man's long fingers; a few seconds passed in silence.

"Ah Jie, come pick me up. You'll personally pilot the military aircraft. We'll make our move tonight!"

Hong Jie was taken aback. "With a confession, we can just go to a military court. Why do you need to do it yourself?"

"I'm not dead. There's too much room for maneuver in there. Who can guarantee that my grandfather and father won't weigh the pros and cons out of fear of the Pu family?"

Hong Jie knew that his cousin was ruthless and would seek revenge for any wrong done to him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I take some men and go? You're still recovering from your injuries!"

"They've been under my command for quite some time, and if they dared to harbor rebellious thoughts, they must have made thorough preparations long ago. I'll personally take care of them, so their scheme won't have been in vain!"

"it is good!"

The next morning, when the man, still damp and drenched in sweat, came in, the woman sitting on the sofa playing on her tablet didn't even lift her eyelids; every strand of her hair seemed to be filled with anger.

Hong Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Playing around, baby!"

"Hmph!" The little woman rolled her eyes and ignored him.

"What's wrong?" He didn't dare to get closer. The wound on his back was throbbing, and he was still covered in the smell of blood. He was afraid of bothering her.

"I was woken up by the cold this morning. What were you doing so early in the morning?" she finally asked reluctantly.

The man chuckled, his half-wet hair obscuring his handsome brow bone. "I'm sorry, Yuebao, it's my fault. I'll go upstairs and get ready, then I'll come down and keep you company!"

Darsen, sensing the situation, called the doctor over. After cleaning up and changing the dressing, the man lazily walked down the stairs, burying his face in her hair. "Are you angry?"

"Shouldn't you be angry?"

"Serves you right!" He kissed her soft, fragrant earlobe intermittently, like a drug addict.

"Didn't you say that tomorrow is your grandfather's birthday? And that we don't need to prepare a gift?" She pushed away the man's hairy head and asked curiously.

"You're all ready!" the man said, clinging to her again. "With such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law and great-grandchildren, whose gift is more valuable than mine?"

"Hehehe!" Yao Gongyue was inexplicably amused. "That's right! We're not being modest about this!"

"We really got our marriage certificate? Don't lie to me and have a child out of wedlock!" She suddenly became a little worried.

"Ancestor! Haven't you been lying to me all along?" Hong Jin felt like his temples were about to explode. "Illegitimate child? I'll take you to meet my family if you have an illegitimate child?"

The young woman blinked her clear, bright eyes, then realized, "Oh right! Honey, you're so smart!"

Hong Jin was both amused and exasperated by her, so he pressed her head down and kissed her fiercely.

……

The former prime minister's birthday banquet was very low-key; the family simply sat down for a meal together. When the eldest son's car drove into the mansion, a group of servants had already surrounded it.

Having long heard that the eldest young master was bringing his young mistress, the servants were naturally curious about which young lady the refined and elegant eldest young master would bring back to the mansion. The moment they saw Yao Gongyue, even the worldly steward was stunned for a full minute.

The young lady is so beautiful, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes her so beautiful. She has snow-white skin, black hair, and red lips, and her temperament is unique. Unlike the aloof and unapproachable air of a noble lady, she is confident and poised in every gesture, yet her eyes and brows exude a charming and subtle allure that is captivating.

The eldest son's eyes never left his young mistress. He put his arm around her and walked straight towards the living room. Usually, the eldest son was cold and unsmiling, but today he was unusually gentle and considerate.

"Grandfather!" Hong Jin clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully. "This is Yueyue, your granddaughter-in-law!"

Hongpa looked at the granddaughter-in-law his grandson had risked his life for, and laughed heartily, "Good! Good! It was worth it! Ajin, you're lucky, you've got a good deal!"

Yao Gongyue smiled and performed the traditional Chinese cupped-hand salute, bowing deeply as she said, "Grandpa, happy birthday! May your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain! May your health be as robust as Mount Tai and your blessings as enduring as the sea!"

Hongpa himself only had one daughter, who wasn't close to him, and his grandchildren were all unruly boys, requiring constant physical discipline. But upon seeing this soft, adorable, fair-skinned little girl calling him "Grandpa" in a clear voice, he was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear for a long time, "Good girl, good girl..."

Hong Jin's smile never faded. He bowed to his father and several uncles, and introduced Yao Gongyue to them one by one.

The men of the Hong family had all heard of the glorious deeds of the Crown Prince, who almost pierced the sky for this precious child. But upon seeing her in person today, all they could do was lament that their unfilial son didn't have such good fortune, and feel nothing but envy. This girl may look young, but her eyes are clearly very shrewd. Given time, once she grows up, she will definitely be a virtuous helpmate to Hong Jin, perhaps even surpassing her mother in her prime.

Overjoyed, the former premier took out all sorts of treasures and stuffed them into Yao Gongyue's hands. "Yueyue, come here, this is what your grandmother left for her eldest grandson's wife, this is what your grandfather gave you, and this is for my great-grandson. Take them, take them all!"

Yao Gongyue accepted it with a smile, her sweet voice rising to the sky, "Thank you, Grandpa. It's an elder's gift, and I can't refuse it. I'll take it!"

Hongpa finally understood why his eldest grandson liked this girl so much. She had a truly likable personality, a sweet tongue, a quick mind, and was polite and generous. He wondered how her family had raised her; she was far superior to many pampered young ladies from noble families.

"Take it, Grandpa has many more good things, I'm saving them all for you!" The old premier hadn't been this happy in many years; his smile deepened the wrinkles on his face.

"Oh my, Grandpa, you're so handsome! You're the most handsome old man I've ever seen!" The little flatterer happily stuffed the gift into Hong Jin's arms. "I think you're much more handsome than Hong Jin!"

"Haha, I think so too!"

Hongpa and his granddaughter-in-law hit it off immediately, and the two of them sat down and chatted, completely ignoring the rest of the family staring at each other. After the meal, Hongpa took her to the study to look at old photos and some videos of Hong Jin when he was a child. The two chatted until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Hong Jin sat to the side, full of resentment, "Grandfather, Yueyue is pregnant and needs to rest!"

"No rest, no rest," Yao Gongyue was listening intently to the old man's stories about fighting back then when she turned around and glared at him. "Either you stay quiet or go to sleep by yourself, and don't disturb us!"

Hong Pa felt a surge of relief as he watched his eldest grandson, the troublemaker, being disciplined and obedient. Finally, there was a leash to rein in this beast. As long as Yueyue was around, Hong Jin would always leave himself and the Hong family a way out; it was a man's nature.
