"I'm not dead." Lin Jiu replied weakly.
Li Mo quickly carried her into a newly arrived car.
Let the Dark Night Group's men deal with the broken car to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
Lin Jiu was neither asleep nor fainted. She leaned against the seat back with her head resting on the angle between the car door and the backrest.
He closed his eyes and refused to speak.
Li Mo didn't know what Lin Jiu had been through. He didn't seem to be hurt physically, but he was mentally broken.
But Li Mo didn't understand. She wasn't this sad even when she knew she wouldn't live past the age of 25. What on earth destroyed her will?
He could only drive and take her to the Imperial Capital branch of the Dark Night Group.

The guards at the Dark Night Group branch saw Li Mo bringing back a girl who seemed to have fainted, but no one dared to ask him who the girl was.
Li Mo put Lin Jiu on the comfortable big bed in his room, and went to the duty room to rest.
The residual effect of the anesthetic gun made Li Mo fall asleep quickly.
The guards were all whispering.
I don’t understand why Li Mo brought a woman back at night and slept in the duty room.
When Li Mo woke up, it was almost noon the next day. He opened the door of his room with a frown on his face.
"Xiaojiu!"
Lin Jiu drank up all the wine in his room last night and now he was lying on the ground with a bottle of foreign liquor in his hand, and the wine in the bottle was bubbling out.
Li Mo felt distressed when he saw Lin Jiu like this.
I could only wait for her to wake up and then do some ideological work on her. I had to call the female guard to help Lin Jiu wash up and let her lie down on the bed and have a good sleep.

Huo Group
Xicheng escorted a tall man into Huo Shen's office.
Huo Shen sat behind his desk, seemingly lazily supporting his chin, but in fact, severe anxiety was etched between his brows.
Xicheng took off the man's hood and pulled out the cloth stuffed in his mouth.
"Huo Shen! You're so bold! You kidnapped me and took me to the Huo Group in broad daylight!"
"I'm brave!" Huo Shen threw the photo of William Lu chasing Lin Jiu on the road to him.
"You chased after my wife in broad daylight and called her your fiancée. As the eldest son of the Lu Group, is this appropriate for you to do?"
When Huo Shen finished speaking, his voice was almost a roar.
"Madam? Are you married? There's nothing wrong with me calling you fiancée, but calling you Madam is way too exaggerated!"
Huo Shen stood up, walked to William Lu, and took out an exquisite invitation, “See, this is the invitation to Lin Jiu and my engagement ceremony, it’s for you!”
Huo Shen stuffed the invitation into Lu William's clothes, and then asked Xicheng to take him away.
As soon as Xicheng left, the secretary ran in in a panic.
"Mr. Huo, there are five undocumented cargo ships docked at the western port. They're from Guinea. Sell us the cargo on board at three times the market price."
"Unidentified ship? Drive it away!"
Huo Shen picked up the phone and said, "Arrange all the bodyguards of the group, follow me now!"
"Mr. Huo, where are you going?" The secretary didn't understand what Huo Shen was going to do.
Huo Shen opened the drawer and took the gun. "Go to the Dark Night Group branch. Xiao Jiu is there."

Nanyang Ye Group Port
"Mr. Ye, there are five undocumented cargo ships docked at the Ye Group's port, saying they want to sell us their goods at five times the market price."
Ye Xiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, took out a telescope and looked towards the Ye family's port. There were indeed five ships that looked a bit shabby docked.
"Where did the ship come from?"
"Guinea."
Ye Xiu put away the telescope and looked at the world map on the wall.
"It takes a long detour to get from Guinea to the South Seas. These ships are going to our place to do business instead of doing business there. There must be something wrong. Get rid of them!"
Ye Xiu had just returned to his desk when the phone rang. "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ye? I'm the president's secretary. The president wants to speak to you."
