Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

The sheer shock of someone planting a bomb under the Crown Prince's car in a bustling, heavily guarded city center speaks volumes.

The captain of the guard was sweating profusely, and his hair stood on end. He didn't even need to think about what the consequences would be if the young master got into the carriage today, even if there was the slightest mistake.

The moment the alarm sounded, Hong Jin immediately pulled the girl beside him into his arms, took a few steps back, and faced the direction of the alarm with his strong, broad back, as if he were using himself as a human cushion to protect her.

To say she wasn't shocked would be a lie. Yao Gongyue never believed that a man would actually risk his life to protect a woman. Even if he did, she would never let her encounter such a situation. But today, she truly witnessed Hong Jin's instinctive reaction in the face of life and death: protecting her.

How could this be? He's a young master from a powerful family; his life is far more valuable than she could imagine. Moreover, these past few days, she'd vaguely sensed that Hong Jin's status was far greater than she could ever imagine—so much so that she numbed herself, daring not to even think about it. Why would such a man risk his life to save her? This doesn't make sense.

Her aunt had always taught her not to have any expectations of any man, and not to believe the nonsense that any man would love you to death. She knew that when it came down to it, those men would run away faster than anyone else; without expectations, you wouldn't get hurt. She always took these words as gospel, and in her later life, she met countless men and women, all of whom proved her aunt's words true, without exception. Why? Why was Hong Jin an exception?

"Captain of the Guard!" Hong Jinsheng's angry roar broke the girl's thoughts. At this moment, the man had already released her and walked towards the car.

"You'd better find a reason to live." The dignified and cold man's face was dark and his expression was extremely tense. His whole aura was sharp and icy. He dared not imagine what the consequences would be if Yuebao got into this car.

Just as the captain of the guard was about to speak, Hong Jin's phone rang. The imposing man coldly took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

"Ah-Jin!" came his father's stern voice from the other end of the phone. "Ah-Jie is injured. The military police are still fighting with unidentified armed forces. My phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from several military commanders. You need to handle this immediately. The position of military police commander has been vacant for many days. I'm worried that the military might take advantage of this to make some moves. We must not give them a reason to use the army!"

Like father, like son; at this point, the father and son trust no one but each other.

"Father, rest assured, I'll be there right now. You and Grandfather can stay in the official residence in peace. With your son here, let's see who dares to overstep your bounds and lay a single soldier to us!"

After Hong Jin finished speaking and hung up the phone, he realized that Yao Gongyue was standing not far away.

Now that things had come to this, even if she was completely ignorant and foolish, she could guess a thing or two. Her face was as pale as paper, even her lips were white. She stood frozen in place, her fingertips slightly bent, her mind a complete mess, not knowing how to react.

Hong Jin didn't have time to explain further. He took two steps over, put his arm around her slender waist, and walked towards the SUV behind them while comforting her, "Don't be afraid, baby, don't be afraid of anything, I'm here for you, you don't have to worry about anything, okay?"

Before she could answer, he opened the car door, shoved her inside, leaned down and kissed her misty eyes, tenderly instructing, "Go back and get some sleep, don't overthink it. I'll explain when I get back. Be good, be obedient!"

After saying that, he instructed the guard driving the car, "Take the young mistress home. If anything goes wrong, I'll skin you alive!"

He closed the car door and summoned the captain of the guard. "Take your men and personally escort the young lady back. Do not stop along the way. Once you enter the mansion, keep watch there at all costs."

After the man finished speaking, he glanced at the car window, turned around, got into another car, and sped away.

****

It’s a murderous night with a dark moon and high wind!

No one could have predicted that someone would be so bold as to fire at a military vehicle. The convoy of five escorting the young lady was speeding along a sparsely populated section of road when the lead car was shot and had its tire blown out, crashing straight into the roadside railing. The cars behind were forced to stop.

Before anyone could react, a masked squad armed with guns surrounded them from all sides. After locking onto their target, they quickly took care of the driver, knocked out the terrified girl, and sped away with the car.

The guards on the remaining vehicles put up a desperate fight, but they were outnumbered and quickly wiped out, leaving no survivors.

That night, no one was destined to sleep. The gunfire in the streets remained vivid in the memories of those who heard it many years later. The battle was too fierce. Stray bullets shattered the glass of the high-rise buildings on both sides from time to time. Blood flowed like a river. Not a single brave guard retreated. They all died heroically, vowing to defend the dignity and integrity of soldiers to the death.

Hong Jin led a squad of personal guards and fought fiercely until the latter half of the night. When a signal flare pierced the darkness, the enemy retreated like a flood, no longer wanting to fight.

The battle was extremely fierce. The opposing side appeared to be professionally trained soldiers who left no clues and used a variety of weapons of different quality, making it impossible to trace their origins.

Hong Jin lit a cigarette, calmed himself down for a moment, and then tried to take out his phone to call his father, only to find that he had left his phone somewhere. He beckoned to his men to look for it, and then drove away.

The arrival of this group was too strange; he had to return to the Prime Minister's residence first and face them with his father.

"Ah Jin, son..." As soon as the car pulled into the gate, Madam Mo, who was waiting at the entrance, came to greet him. Hong Jin stepped out of the car, and his mother grabbed his hand anxiously, asking, "Son, are you alright? Who were those people? They scared me to death..."

The elegant and noble lady looked a little unpleasant. The first family, which seemed to be the most glamorous, was actually a place where everyone was walking on thin ice. Her husband was indifferent to her, her family only used her, and her two younger sons had no ambition and were not very capable. The only one she could rely on was her capable eldest son.

"It's alright, Mother! Don't worry!" Hong Jin held his mother's hands back, patiently reassuring her, "You can rest assured, I'll go to the study!"

Knowing that her son had an urgent matter, Mrs. Mo made sure that everything was alright before being helped back to her bedroom by the maid.

Zhi acridine~

The study door opened, and the eldest son, exuding a stern and imposing aura, walked in. Tall and upright, his eyes were firm and steady. "Father!"

Hong Sangneng sat in his study, smoking all night, until his son's image appeared on the monitor, and only then did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle down.

A group of armed men is a small matter, but if it gives the military an excuse to deploy troops to the capital, then it's a big problem. Fortunately, the Hong family is not abandoned by heaven, and fortunately, the son is capable enough.

"Who are they? Have you found out?" The father put down his cigarette and asked in a hoarse voice.

“We’re investigating!” Hong Jin sat down opposite his father and pondered for a few seconds. “The other party’s purpose is clear, and they dared to target A-Jie. In my opinion, it’s probably a deliberate act of revenge by the accomplices of the armed drug traffickers we wiped out before.”

“My car was rigged with explosives today.” Hong Jinrui’s eyes flashed with a wolfish light as he looked at his father. “Father, we can’t let these people get away with this any longer. If there wasn’t an inside traitor, how could the drug traffickers’ gang know so much about my and A-Jie’s itinerary?”

Hong Sang's narrow eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent. "You even dare to touch me. It seems you're completely ready to tear off all pretense of civility!"

The Prime Minister was always as calm and collected as a mountain, rarely resorting to violence, but no father could tolerate someone harming his son, especially his eldest son on whom he had placed so much hope. "A-Jin!" He narrowed his tiger-like eyes and took a deep breath. "Investigate! Whoever it is, find this traitor! I want to see who has the audacity to blow up my son's car and kill my son's bodyguards!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Jin didn't react for a moment. He frowned and looked at his father in confusion, "You blew up my car and killed my bodyguards?"

Hong Sang raised his eyes. "Didn't you receive the news? Your personal guards were ambushed on their way back to the mansion. All twelve of them were killed."
