Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

After being disciplined, Yao Gongyue went back to bed and rested for two days before finally calming down. She stayed quietly at the manor, either watching movies, taking care of Jinjin, or calling a swimming coach to teach her to swim. The only unusual thing was that she hadn't spoken to Hong Jin for several days.

Men are busy all the time, and you can hardly see them during the day. When they come back at night, they have to watch their little vixen's mood. She won't let them touch them or touch them. They even sleep under their own blankets.

Hong Jin was not one to be easily persuaded. After enduring it for two days, he finally snapped and forcibly pulled the little thing into his arms. But the little thing didn't say a word, just stared at him and cried. Tears streamed down her face like they were free. No matter how he tried to comfort her, he couldn't stop. Annoyed by her crying, he let her go with a cold face.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

These past few days, no one in the manor dared to offend the man. Even Jin Jin didn't dare to get close to him. Wherever the man went, ice would thaw within a ten-meter radius.

The most unlucky one was Hong Jie. When Yao Gongyue disappeared, he couldn't find out the identity of the man who appeared next to her no matter how hard he tried. The bar where she had been was bought for a high price. All the surveillance footage was destroyed, and everyone in the bar was dismissed and disappeared.

This whole thing is strange; the more mysterious that person is, the more suspicious it is.

Hong Jin listened to his investigation results, his face cold, and remained silent for a long time. So long that he thought he wouldn't speak again, the man finally looked up from the computer and glared at him, "You've been investigating for several days, and this is all the result you've come up with?"

"The other party is a master of counter-surveillance; they didn't leave a single trace. I really have nowhere to start!" He scratched his short, rugged hair and complained to his stern-faced cousin.

"I'll give you one more day. If you can't find anything, you're going to Thailand to become a live-in son-in-law. The Hong family doesn't support useless people!"

"No, you, you, you..." Hong Jie's face was as ugly as could be. Faced with his cousin's uncompromising cold glare, he swallowed his words back, snorted, and sat on the sofa to smoke.

"Oppa, the phone's ringing... Oppa, the phone's ringing..."

The little imp's seductive voice came from the phone on the desk. Hong Jie, who was sulking beside him, couldn't help but smile, and his anger subsided by more than half. This little thing is really damn interesting.

"Hello! Meng!" Hong Jin calmly picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.

"Ah Jin, I'm coming to Phnom Penh in a few days to accompany the Commander to the ASEAN Plus Three Summit. I'll be going to Dutra then, so you'd better get me a private jet!" Wu Meng's thuggish voice came from the other end.

"Okay!" Hong Jin replied casually, fiddling with the lighter in his hand with his slender fingers.

“I’m worried about leaving my wife alone in Yangon, so I plan to bring her with me. I don’t trust anyone else with her. Your wife is also Chinese, so I’d like to settle her with you!”

"No way!" Hong Jin refused without even thinking.

"Why?" Wu Meng seemed surprised that he would refuse so decisively.

“They know each other! Besides, one of us was kidnapped and the other was bought from the illegal market. Neither of us was brought here in a clean way. If anything goes wrong, we'll both lose our lives in Phnom Penh!”

"What did you say? They know each other? Is there really such a coincidence?" Wu Meng's voice rose two octaves in surprise.

“Ouyang Zhen is Ouyang Xu’s sister, and Ouyang Xu has been eyeing my woman for years. Tell me, should they get to know each other?” The man frowned, his voice low and menacing.

"You want to get rid of Ouyang Xu?"

"If I find out he's still thinking about my wife!"

"Understood!" Wu Meng said thoughtfully. "Ajin, Zhenzhen is my life. If one day I end up in a military prison, you have to promise to protect her for me!"

Looking across all the powerful and wealthy families in Southeast Asia, the only one with the ability and means to protect his woman under the nose of the Burmese military government after he launched a military coup was Hong Jin.

"Ah Meng, now is not the best time to make a move!" The man narrowed his dark eyes. He rarely interfered in his good brother's affairs, but this time, it concerned his life and death, so he had to say a few more words.

“My father won’t listen to advice and is running for re-election as the leader of the Liberal Party. The military government wants him dead. I have no choice. Ah Jin, either fight your way out for my father, or we, father and son, will both fall on the road to seizing power!”

Power struggles are always fierce and cutthroat, a fact that those at the pinnacle of power are well aware of.

Hong Jin lit a cigarette, the gray smoke blurring the outline of his handsome face. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, "Uncle Wu went to prison when you were six years old. He deliberately concealed your relationship back then. You relied entirely on your strength to lead the Allied Army from northern Myanmar into Yangon. Everyone thought you were born in the mountains of northern Myanmar!"

"You mean I should just stand by and watch those people kill my father?" Wu Meng roared in a hoarse voice.

"Ah Meng, in politics, when necessary, you have to dance with the wolves, and kill them after you've achieved your goal!" The man's eyes were as dark as a black pool, and his handsome face, devoid of any emotion, revealed the calm and cold-blooded strategist's mastery.

In the ultimate showdown of power, sometimes a single sentence can turn the tide, a single sentence can determine life or death, success or failure. Hong Jin is undoubtedly a master in this arena; he has always been the one wielding the pieces.

"Thanks! Ah Jin, you saved me again!" There was an unspoken understanding among the contenders, and Wu Meng knew perfectly well that only Hong Jin in the world would say such a thing to him.

“I didn’t say anything, Meng!” Hong Jinwei raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly. The future outcome of his words today was still unknown.

"By the way, the last person Hagnu saw should have already left Myanmar. But it's unclear where they went. There's no information about this mercenary group in Shan State; it'll take some more time!"

"Okay! I got it! I'll personally host a welcome dinner for you and your sister-in-law in Phnom Penh in a couple of days!"

After hanging up the phone, Hong Jin looked up and saw his cousin, who was still lingering with a worried look on his face. He rubbed his temples and said, "Speak!"

"Ah Jin!" Hong Jie fawned over, "Phnom Penh, can I not go?"

"reason!"

“My father-in-law has given me a death order: I must bring a girlfriend back home within six months, or he'll tell my grandfather to arrange one for me! My mother has been sending me pictures of daughters of officials and socialites these past few days, it's driving me crazy. Going back would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den!”

"Compared to a marriage alliance in Thailand, this path is clearly more suitable for you!" The man opposite him said casually, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"No way! You said you'd marry the girl you love! I won't compromise!" Hong Jie's usually carefree eyes showed a rare firmness.

“Then you should use your resources to negotiate with your family, instead of making me do it here!” My cousin showed no mercy.

“I have a military rank now, but all I have is a military police unit. All those old men in the military district office are thinking about leaving military titles for their sons. Who would hand over their chair for no reason? Talk? What do you expect me to talk about?” Hong Jie was getting a little exasperated.

“I remember,” Hong Jin said slowly, his shrewd eyes sweeping over his cousin. “Doesn’t Pu have a sister? They have two sons, one a businessman and the other a brainless idiot. Why don’t you marry Pu’s daughter? Consider it a good deed and try to persuade your father-in-law to use his brain, so I don’t have to take action and wipe out the entire Pu family?”

"What kind of bullshit father-in-law? Don't try to trick me. If you want the military power of the Pu family, why don't you marry him?" Hong Jie immediately lost his temper and started arguing with his cousin.

"I belong to my Yuebao. Besides, I have leverage in negotiations, and you don't!"

"How do you know I don't have the means?" Hong Jie suddenly had a brilliant idea and grinned mischievously at his cousin. "If you don't help me settle this, I'll tell Grandfather and Uncle about you kidnapping that little vixen!"

Hong Jin paused in his hand as he played with the lighter, then suddenly raised his eyelids. In just one glance, Hong Jie felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast from the deep mountains, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

"You can try!"

"Forget it," Hong Jie said casually, sitting back on the sofa. "I want to live a couple more years!"

"I'm worried about leaving Yueyue here. I'll take her with me this time. You make the arrangements, and hand over the work you're doing to Heilong so he can take care of it!"
