Seemingly sensing Li Zhanting's restraint, Gu Momo unconsciously gripped the shirt covering his chest with both hands, taking a deep breath of fresh air as she said, "Li Zhanting, I can..."

Yes, she could have done it; she could have given herself completely to him.

That incident five years ago may have been an accident; neither of them could truly accept the other from the depths of their souls, nor could they feel the excitement and joy of communicating with each other.

But things are different now. They are deeply in love and have long since become inseparable.

That kind of deep, soul-searching exchange, filled with excitement and trepidation, will surely be even more unforgettable than that night five years ago.

She had barely finished speaking when she heard Li Zhanting's deep, seductive chuckle beside her ear: "Mo Mo, you forgot to breathe."

Gu Momo's body stiffened slightly as she met the man's deep, smiling eyes. She quickly gripped the shirt against his chest and took in the fresh air.

Li Zhanting gently cupped the back of her head with his large hand, while his other hand continuously helped Gu Momo catch her breath.

Gu Momo felt her heart pounding in her chest. She quickly asked Li Zhanting about the situation: "How's the operation going on your end? Are the brothers all safe?"

Li Zhanting chuckled: "Don't worry, everything is going smoothly."

"However, tonight's operation also proves that sending someone to secretly take action against Dark Moon is not feasible. Dark Moon is a very suspicious and extremely cautious person. It seems that we must find a way to uproot Dark Moon organization in order to shake its foundation."

The original intention of that shot tonight was to try to kill Dark Moon directly, but because the distance was too far and the Dark Moon organization's internal defenses were extremely tight, the hit rate of that shot was less than 50%.

However, his subordinates had already discussed it with Fu Jinyan beforehand, so Fu Jinyan was actually aiming her gun at his subordinates.

Gu Momo's eyes narrowed: "Dark Moon is indeed not easy to deal with, but finding a way to target Dark Moon is now urgent. Dark Moon is the only way to find my mother's whereabouts, and I must get information out of him!"

Li Zhanting chuckled softly, his large hand gently gripping Gu Momo's waist: "Don't worry, I'll be with you. As for you, what about your fake brother? How do you plan to extract information about the Emperor-Slaying Alliance from him?"

Gu Momo winked charmingly: "He went to such lengths to impersonate my brother, probably for the Fu family's blood jade ring! I've already asked the Liuli Pavilion to step up their investigation; he'll definitely slip up eventually!"

A glint flashed in Li Zhanting's deep eyes as he gripped Gu Momo's head with his large hand, pressing her against his chest.

An invisible affection flowed between the two, drawing their throbbing hearts closer and closer, making them inseparable.

"Then you should also take care to rest. I will continue to investigate my father's affairs tomorrow."

As he spoke, he tenderly kissed Gu Momo's forehead.

Gu Momo quickly hugged Li Zhanting tighter and said with a coquettish smile, "Someone just sent me an invitation to an auction tomorrow, so I'll go and relax while I'm there!"

"An invitation to an auction?" Li Zhanting frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"Yes, but it's strange. The invitation letter doesn't mention the inviter's name or identity. All we know is that it was sent by a wealthy businessman from Country Y. I've already sent people to investigate secretly. He monopolized the auction industry in the capital as soon as he arrived, but he has a prominent position in Country Y, so it's difficult to find out who he is."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Li Zhanting's deep eyes: "So, are you going or not?"

Gu Momo answered directly: "Yes! Of course I'll go!"

Because the other party's identity is mysterious and the origin of this invitation is unknown, she is even more determined to go!

In the darkness, dark currents flickered in Li Zhanting's obsidian-like eyes. He held Gu Momo tighter with his strong arms, his voice low and gentle: "Then you have to be careful. I'll come over after I've finished dealing with things on my end."

"Okay!"

Gu Momo agreed directly and without hesitation!

She wanted to see what was so special about this mysterious tycoon's auction!

The following morning, Gu Momo went alone to the auction venue indicated on the invitation.

This auction was primarily for charity, and the items up for auction were donated by celebrities and stars.

Gu Momo looked around and was deeply impressed by the level of the auction.

Besides some of the donated treasures, the place also contains a large number of foreign paintings and calligraphy, almost all of which are by famous artists. It is rumored that these works have long been monopolized by the royal family of Country Y. It is unexpected that so many royal treasures can be seen here.

What is the identity of this mysterious wealthy businessman?

As she got up to leave, several staff members carried a vintage piano and placed it in the center of the stage.

She recognized the piano; it was a limited edition Steinway from twenty years ago, the only one of its kind in the world. The entire body of the piano was made of solid wood, and the notes played on it were very unique and natural.

When it was released, Gu Momo was only a few years old, but after she grew up, she saw the photos and introduction of the piano and loved it so much. She remembers telling her mother about this wish at the time.

Who would have thought that she would encounter this piano, which represents her regrets of more than twenty years, at this auction?

But is it really just a coincidence that this piano is here...?

"Was this piano put up for auction?"

The staff member politely replied, "Yes, miss, all the items placed on the stage are available for auction."

“Okay, then I’ll take it.” Gu Momo was holding the bidding number in her hand, ready to place a bid, when suddenly a pair of hands adorned with gold and silver jewelry grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand down.
