Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

Luxury wards on the top floor of Battambang International Hospital.

When Hong Jin rushed in, Dasen was standing at the door with his head down, Xiaobai was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up, and Pudu was standing by the window with "ropes" tied to him, staring blankly.

"Dasen!" The man's chilling aura instantly filled the entire ward. He was withered, sullen, and sunken, like a ferocious beast on the verge of madness.

“Sir, after lunch, the young lady said she wanted to rest, so we didn’t dare come in to disturb her. When Xiaobai came in for dinner, he found that she was gone. There was a rope made of bed sheet hanging by the window. She must have climbed out the window to the empty equipment room downstairs before leaving.” Dasen was trembling with fear, his legs were weak. He never imagined that the young lady would have such audacity.

"Climb...climb through the window?" The dazed man paused, his hand holding the cigarette still around his mouth. He hesitated for two seconds, unable to process what he was saying, and then asked again, "This is the 25th floor. You mean climb through the window?"

Without waiting for a reply, he threw down his cigarette butt, stumbled to the window, and looked down along the rope. The man, who was usually fearless and knew nothing of fear, went blank for a few seconds, almost fell, and braced himself against the windowsill. He remained silent for a full minute, his face terribly gloomy.

She's the kind of person who has to sit down and catch her breath after breaking a few things. Where did she get the guts to actually, actually dare to jump down from the 20th floor without any safety measures?

Those arms, so thin that two fingers could snap them in two, if one of them didn't put any force into them, the whole person would fall...

His white knuckles, gripping the windowsill, trembled slightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged out. Hong Jin was completely engrossed in a twisted illusion.

She'd rather fall to her death than stay?

She values ​​her life so much, how could she dare?

No, she wouldn't dare. She doesn't have that kind of guts. Someone must have encouraged her, or helped her...

In the midst of chaos, the man found an excuse for self-deception amidst extreme despair. A flash of ruthlessness crossed his wolfish eyes as he looked at Pudu, who was also in a state of decay.

Suddenly, the cold muzzle of a Beretta 92F was pressed against Putu's forehead, and a chilling voice from hell escaped from the man's throat, "Tell me, did you help her?"

Putu showed no fear on his face, but his eyes were still filled with heartache. "It wasn't me, sir. I wouldn't let her take that kind of risk. She's a young girl, so beautiful, and without a man to protect her, she could be in danger at any time. I wouldn't be so stupid as to let her take that risk!"

boom!

As soon as Pudu finished speaking, Hong Jin ruthlessly thrust the butt of his gun at his face. Jun Nong's face was icy cold. "My woman is none of your business to pity."

He didn't have much energy to worry about who let her escape. Pu Du was right; it was too dangerous for her to run away alone. The most important thing now was to find her.

Yao Gongyue, when I find you, I'll... I'll fucking...

Forget it, let's find the person first!

Hong Jin finally calmed down, sat on the sofa, took out her phone, and made a call.

"Hey, Ah Jin!" Hong Jie's roguish voice came through the phone.

"Ah Jie, take all the soldiers under your command and surround all the exits leading out of Battambang. From now on, you can only enter, not leave!" After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Hong Jie's reaction and quickly dialed a second number.

"Young Master!" The voice on the other end of the phone was the secretary-general of his office.

"Notify the transportation, police, and communications departments of Battambang City that, from this moment forward, the city will be secretly taken over by the military for military exercises. Establish a joint command group in the city hall, which I will personally direct. All departments must cooperate unconditionally. The purpose of the exercise is to apprehend a group of unidentified spies! Make arrangements immediately."

In less than half an hour, police cars were dispatched one after another on the streets, and all police officers patrolled in shifts around the clock. Anyone found to be drunk or causing trouble was detained directly without questioning. Even people walking large dogs on the street were driven back.

Later, some people recalled that those days were the safest days in the entire Battambang city. The streets were full of police, and there were even patrolling soldiers. There were not even homeless people.

After making the arrangements, Hong Jin went to the monitoring room and checked the surveillance footage repeatedly for several hours, but he couldn't find a single clue. He then ordered people to surround the hospital and search each room one by one until late at night, but still found nothing. He left Pu Du to continue searching the hospital with his men while he went to the municipal building.

***

Yao Gongyue stayed hidden on the bathroom ceiling until the early hours of the next day before crawling out. Taking advantage of the cleaning lady's inattention, she quietly slipped into her trolley.

The sanitation at this hospital is outsourced to a cleaning company. After cleaning her assigned area, the woman pushed her cart through the less crowded staff passage to the back entrance, parked the cart in a designated area, and left.

The girl, dressed casually, wearing a mask, and with her hair tied up, took advantage of the morning chaos as people went out the back door to buy breakfast and left the hospital.

Wandering on the bustling streets, a long-lost sense of freedom washed over her, filling her with indescribable joy. Even her breathing felt free, like a fish that had been confined to a fish tank for a long time finally seeing the vast ocean of Heze.

She was glad that she had inherited her mother's and aunt's good values. She wasn't interested in diamonds or jewelry, but only in gold. Her mother had said that gold was like walking currency, and in a critical moment, nothing else mattered but gold.

Hong Jin always knew her preferences very well, and the jewelry and necklaces he gave her were mostly made of gold.

This is in the city center. Not far away, she saw a store selling gold jewelry. She went in and exchanged a bracelet for cash. She then went to a mobile phone store to buy a phone, but she needed to show her ID to get a SIM card. She didn't have any, so she gave the salesperson an extra ten dollars as a tip before he would tell her where to buy black cards.

As if things weren't bad enough, she managed to buy the card, but the entire area was under communications control, and she couldn't make any international calls. She made one call and then dared not make any more, fearing that Hong Jin's people would detect it.

The train station, bus station, and airport were all shut down, and not a single ticket could be bought. Yao Gongyue sat by the roadside, on the verge of tears.

"Hong Jin, you dog of a man, are you not even leaving me a way out?"

The streets were patrolled by police and soldiers. If she stayed any longer, she would be discovered sooner or later. With her mind preoccupied, Xiao Mihu, who had a poor sense of direction, left the main road and turned onto another street.

The screeching sound of brakes pierced the sky. Nohan never expected to be so unlucky. He had just been stopped and checked at the previous intersection and barely managed to get away with it. Less than two minutes later, he was being scammed by a woman while turning a corner.

When Yao Gongyue suddenly realized what was happening, the black SUV had already stopped in front of her. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. This fall, however, made her mind clear. She decided to play along and started crying in a pretentious manner.

"Waaaaah, I'm so scared! Doesn't the driver care about their life? Didn't they see anyone coming?"
