The pilot was shot in the head with a silenced pistol before he could even see who was in front of him.
In the luxurious box of a private jet, a pair of slender hands holding a silver knife and fork elegantly cut off a piece of steak and passed it to the crimson lips.
"When your eyes sense the color of this piece of beef, your taste buds will know how tender it is." The man's amber eyes stared at the luxurious black walnut door of the private room. "Just like when I see the color of this door, I know you're standing behind it. Come in."
The wooden door was kicked open, and a man in a brown windbreaker stood at the door holding a silenced pistol. His windbreaker was covered in bloodstains.
In the corridor behind him, bodyguards with heads shot were lying all over the place.
"Should I call you X or Li Mo? It must be hard to be misunderstood by the woman you love most." The man put the steak in his mouth and closed his eyes in satisfaction. "It's just as I expected, delicious and tender."
"Xiao Ling! You agreed not to pursue Lin Jiu anymore, but you actually ordered Lin Jiu to be killed without mercy!"
whoosh!
The silver dinner knife in Xiao Ling's hand stabbed into the door frame next to Li Mo's ear.
"No matter how capable you think you are, you dare to use the master's name in the Dark Night Group's territory. Moreover, you let Lin Jiu go and disobeyed my orders..."
"I accept the punishment!" Li Mo interrupted Xiao Ling with a roar.
His eyes were filled with indifference and despair. Suddenly, he reached out and covered his left eye.
The next second, he threw a round object mixed with blood onto the steak in front of Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are really cruel to yourself, but I like that you are still included in the Dark Night Group's high-level meeting."
Li Mo covered his left eye, blood oozing from between his fingers. He endured the pain and turned around.
Xiao Ling said quietly behind him, "A grievance that can be expressed is not a grievance; a lover who can be taken away is not a lover. You have been protecting her from the beginning, but even so, she will not forgive you as a member of the Dark Night Group. There will always be an insurmountable gap between you.
I admire your abilities, so I want to remind you not to go astray and ruin your bright future."
Li Mo curled his lips and smiled, "I am different from you."
Then he disappeared into the night at the airport.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes when he saw the caller ID on Ye Sheng’s phone.
William Lu.
"He called me just now, but I didn't answer."
"Brother, Mr. Lu is calling us at this time, could it be..."
“Yes, the contract between the Ye family and the Lu family states that if the Ye family has a daughter, she must marry a member of the Lu family, but this was an agreement made hundreds of years ago. I didn’t expect William Lu to be so serious.”
Ye Sheng shook his head. "He got the news so quickly. We just found my sister and he came here to ask for her."
Ye Chen put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the auditorium. "Don't let Xiaojiu know about this for now. Xiaojiu hasn't lived in Nanyang since she was a child. She won't accept this kind of thing."

Outside the auditorium
Ye Xiu and Ye Yan took Lin Jiu to stand on the high platform to watch the fireworks.
The fireworks ended and darkness fell again. The three of them returned to the auditorium.
On the way, Lin Jiu saw a cement pier with slogans engraved on it on the side of the road, and his eyelids twitched violently.
When she was a child, she was bullied, and Li Mo would jump onto this cement block and use his hands and feet to tell her the story of "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" to cheer her up.
However, good memories always belong to the past.
Lin Jiu clenched her fists. She still couldn't accept that Li Mo was the cruel X from the Dark Night Group.
"Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Xiu noticed the change in Lin Jiu's mood.
"Nothing, just wait here for me, I'm going to get something from my old home."
Ye Xiu stretched his head to look in the direction of Lin Jiu's former home. "That alley is dark. We'll take you there."
"I'm very familiar with that road. You're more likely to fall. I'll be back soon."
"No, we have to send you off."
Ye Yan and Ye Xiu insisted on following Lin Jiu. In the rugged alley, Lin Jiu shook them off at the turn of a corner.
She leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
Too many things happened today, and she didn't have time to give herself some alone time to think about Li Mo.
Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps from the other side of the alley.
"Fourth brother?"
However, the footsteps did not stop, and there was no response.
