Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

Ouyang Zhen looked at her friend with her eyes bright, pursed her lips, took the phone, and said in a gentle voice, "A-Meng, don't be angry, Yueyue was just joking with you!"

Wu Meng's irritation was extinguished by this gentle, spring-like warmth. He sighed, "Alright, baby, going out for a walk will make you feel better. But you'll need someone to come with you."

Half an hour later, a large convoy of more than a dozen vehicles set off from the mansion. The convoy, with its military license plates, was so discreet that no one dared to provoke it, and private vehicles kept a distance of more than ten meters from it.

The car stopped at the entrance of Phnom Penh's largest shopping mall, and plainclothes guards surrounded the two beautiful figures, who were wearing masks, tightly as they entered the mall.

"See that? That woman in the green dress, that's Hong Jie's woman!" The man in the black baseball cap pointed at the group of thugs in the moving truck. "Load all your guns, the boss won't last much longer. Even if it's a shootout, we have to get that woman tied up and replace the boss!"

"Brother Kun, those officials have plenty of women. Would Hong Jie really trade the boss for this woman?" a dark-faced, blond-haired henchman asked in a low voice.

"What do you know? I've been following him all this time, and Hong Jie has been hanging around this woman every day. This woman is definitely Hong Jie's precious treasure, which he's been keeping at a high price. If Hong Jie doesn't know what's good for him after we've arrested him, we can sell his woman to Thailand and make a fortune!"

"Yes, Brother Kun!" The menacing gang of henchmen responded in unison in low voices as soon as they heard there was profit to be made.

Since their boss was arrested, their source of income has been cut off. One by one, the gamblers have no money to gamble, the womanizers are being shunned by women, and some even have drug addictions. They're practically forced to demolish their houses and sell them. When the profits reach a certain level, these desperate criminals are unafraid to take risks, their eyes gleaming with the ferocity of wolves.

The two women inside the mall were completely unaware of what was happening outside. They went to the top floor for skincare and manicures, and were in an exceptionally good mood, especially Ouyang Zhen, who hadn't laughed from the bottom of her heart in a long time.

“Zhenzhen, look, as long as you try, life won’t be too bad, right!” Yao Gongyue looked at her shiny long fingernails and chatted with her friend with a smile. “Whenever I can’t figure something out, I like to go out for a walk, look at all kinds of people, and tell myself that life is beautiful, and I am beautiful too. We shouldn’t lose faith in life because of temporary difficulties!”

With a gentle smile on her beautiful face, Ouyang Zhen looked at the girl beside her who shone like the sun, and a warm feeling washed over her.

She has experienced so many things and so many disasters since childhood, but she still has a longing for life. She is really resilient. No wonder Hong Jin likes her so much. Only those who are close to her can know how precious this kind of vigorous and upward life force is.

"Thank you, Yueyue!" Ouyang Zhen held her hand tightly. "We will definitely get better!"

The two girls encouraged each other with their eyes, and suddenly felt that no matter how hard the days were, there was finally some hope.

"Zhenzhen, look!" As they walked around the corner, the two of them discovered a new Chinese-style clothing store. Although it wasn't a well-known brand and there were very few customers inside, the wooden carvings at the entrance and the Chinese-style decorations inside made the girl, who was in a foreign country, feel particularly warm.

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Ouyang Zhen sensed Yao Gongyue's excitement. She remembered that when Yao Gongyue was in school, although she majored in ballet, she was also very good at classical dance. Once, she performed classical dance at a school arts festival.

She once asked curiously, "Yueyue, didn't you study ballet? Why did you choose classical dance?"

Yao Gongyue smiled brightly, "Because I love this beautiful dress, Zhenzhen. Don't you think traditional Chinese style dresses are really pretty? Look, especially the embroidery on it, it's so beautiful!"

"Okay!" Yao Gongyue excitedly grabbed her friend's hand and entered the shop. Guards stood outside the door, and only two female bodyguards accompanied her inside.

After shopping all day, they didn't find a single piece of clothing they liked, but they couldn't stop looking at this store filled with a sense of patriotism, wishing they could try on every single dress.

“Zhenzhen, this one looks good too!” Yao Gongyue picked up a blue handmade cheongsam and held it up against herself.

“Hmm, I think it would look even prettier if you put your hair up with this sandalwood hairpin! Why don’t you try it on?” Ouyang Zhen had just tried on a moon-white horse-face skirt and, according to her own taste, picked up a hairpin from a velvet tray and handed it to her.

"Your features are well-defined, this style suits you perfectly, why don't you give it a try?"

Yao Gongyue took the hairpin and nodded, "Then wait for me, we'll go eat after I've tried it on!"

"Hello, my friend and I just tried on some clothes and accessories, and the one she took in earlier, we'll pack them up too when she comes out!" Ouyang Zhen called over the saleswoman, and after giving her instructions, she casually browsed the novel trinkets inside.

With her bodyguard by her side, she had no chance to call for help and was afraid of implicating others, so she could only remain still and wait for an opportunity.

However, one minute, two minutes... a full five minutes passed, and Yao Gongyue, who had gone into the fitting room to change clothes, still hadn't come out.

Suddenly, the bodyguard's expression changed. He walked to the fitting room door and knocked. "Young Madam?"

There was no response from inside. The two female bodyguards exchanged glances, their faces darkening. The bodyguard with the high ponytail kicked open the flimsy door, only to find that the person inside had vanished.

"Yueyue!" Ouyang Zhen was shocked and turned pale, at a loss for what to do.

"Captain, the young mistress is missing!" The bodyguard with the high ponytail shouted towards the door, and the guards outside rushed in upon hearing this.

When Wu Meng's adjutant saw that his wife was still there, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly told his men to put his wife in the car before calling his superior to report the situation.

But in the mall, all of Hong Jin's men looked pale and sickly. Having lost his mistress, none of them dared to call their husband.

"What the hell are you all standing there for? Go down and surround the mall! If you don't find the young mistress, none of you are alive!" The captain of the guards roared at his men in a fit of rage.

"Captain, should we call the master?" The bodyguard with the high ponytail looked utterly dejected. The young mistress had been lost in her hands, and she didn't even need to think about how the master would kill her.

"This can't be kept secret!" The captain of the guard scratched his short hair in frustration and glanced at his subordinate. "I'll call for the gentleman. You go find someone first!"

Hong Jingang had just finished a meeting and got into his car to pick up his little devil from the mall. He hadn't seen her for several days and was getting anxious. Fortunately, things had come to a head here. Contracts had been signed for several major construction projects, and the rest could be handed over to his subordinates. Once his father was done with this busy period, they could start talking about Yuebao.

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

The man took out his phone, pressed the answer button, and the captain of the guard stammered, "Sir! The young lady is... is missing!"
