The three words flashed through Yang Yuan's mind almost simultaneously. Immediately after, Mo Ming threw a punch that landed directly on Yang Yuan's temple, the impact was so heavy that it left Yang Yuan feeling dizzy.
The grip on Fu Meng was also released. Just as Yang Yuan was about to make a move, another fist came rushing towards him, moving so fast it seemed to leave an afterimage in the air.
"Ah!"
With just one punch to the nose, Yang Yuan fell to the ground. Mo Ming walked over step by step, and before Yang Yuan could see clearly, he grabbed him. As he lifted him up, Yang Yuan attempted to attack Mo Ming.
"This punch is for Murong Lian. Because of you, she suffered greatly tonight!" Mo Ming naturally would not give Yang Yuan any chance to retaliate and raised his fist to deliver a heavy blow to Yang Yuan's face.
"Ah... Mo Ming, you bastard..."
Without giving Yang Yuan time to curse, Mo Ming delivered another punch to his abdomen. This blow forced all the bitterness from Yang Yuan's stomach out, causing him to arch his back in pain.
"This punch is also for Murong Lian. You are too hypocritical and disgusting, polluting her eyes and heart. If I don't teach you a lesson, it would be unjust."
"Ah..."
Yang Yuan cried out in agony, clutching his abdomen as he knelt on the ground. It seemed that Mo Ming's punch had shattered his ribcage; the pain turned his face pale and drenched him in sweat. The excruciating pain left him unable to do anything but scream.
"Mo Ming, you son of a bitch! If you have guts, fight me one-on-one!" Lingyun Tian roared as he tried to rush over but was stopped by the police officers. He struggled desperately, shouting, "Let me go! I want to kill that bastard! Let me go!"
Ignoring Lingyun Tian's roar as if it were just barking, Mo Ming didn't look back and raised a finger at Lingyun Tian dismissively, saying, "What era is this? Who has the time for one-on-one fights? Someone this brainless can actually be number one among Mercenaries? This world is too crazy!"
"Mo Ming... if you don't kill me today... I will come back for revenge..." Even in such a dire situation, Yang Yuan still spat out a fierce threat, showing no signs of fear.
If you don't kill me now, I will surely kill you someday!
Yang Yuan's mind seemed to be fried; he actually said such things at this moment, clearly wanting to force others to cut off his escape route. Ji Yue secretly cursed Yang Yuan's stupidity.
"Don't be impulsive, Mo Ming. Leave it to the law. I guarantee he will either die in prison or spend his life behind bars," Fu Meng said, having regained normal breathing and genuinely worried that Mo Ming might kill him.
"Yeah, I won't kill him." A fierce glint flashed in Mo Ming's eyes as he kicked out like a whip, striking Yang Yuan on the head and sending him flying a meter away.
Fu Meng was startled by Mo Ming's sudden action and rushed over to check if Yang Yuan was still breathing.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. He won't die; whether he becomes an idiot depends on his own fate," Mo Ming said with disgust as he glanced at Yang Yuan. "This kick is your lesson; no one can use hostages to threaten me!"
After saying that, Mo Ming instinctively checked his pockets and realized he didn't have any cigarettes. He cursed, "Damn it, what a bad night! Not only did I almost lose my life, but I can't even have a smoke!"
As they passed by a group of detectives, Lingyun Tian glared fiercely at Mo Ming and spat out angrily, "You just wait! As long as I'm alive, you won't have a good day!"
"Got any cigarettes?" Mo Ming smiled slightly.
"What?"
Lingyun Tian was momentarily stunned by Mo Ming's nonsensical question. When he came back to his senses, he was furious and wanted to charge at him but was tightly held back by the detectives. "You bastard! You can act tough now, but one day I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Fuck!" Mo Ming flipped Lingyun Tian the bird and said, "Without cigarettes, what are you barking about? Go eat shit! Not satisfied? Come bite me; if not, I'm leaving."
Mo Ming ignored Lingyun Tian's barrage of insults and walked straight off the rooftop because he knew someone still needed protection—Murong Lian.
……
"Mo Ming!" When Murong Lian saw Mo Ming return, she felt an irresistible force drive her to run over and tightly hug him. "I was so scared something would happen to you; I really was…"
"Um, don't be afraid. I won't be coming back safely," Mo Ming said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Don't worry, Yang Yuan has already been captured and will never appear in front of you again."
Murong Lian remained silent for a long time before finally stepping away from Mo Ming's embrace. She composed herself and forced a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. I..."
"You don't need to say so much. It's enough that you're okay," Mo Ming noticed the hint of disappointment in Murong Lian's eyes and understood that her emotions were not good at the moment. He interrupted her, saying, "Let's go back and get some rest. After a good sleep, everything will be fine."
"Mm." Murong Lian nodded lightly, not saying anything more.
Mo Ming turned to Su Xiuwen and said, "Sister Wen, she's not in a good mood and it's not convenient for her to stay here. When you see Ji Yue later, please let him know that I'm taking her home."
"Okay, take good care of Lian Lian for me. Don't let her get hurt again," Su Xiuwen glanced at the weary Murong Lian, feeling a pang in her heart. The events of the night had made this lovely person seem so fragile.
"I will," Mo Ming nodded and led Murong Lian out of the hall. As they reached the entrance downstairs, they encountered Liu Dong directing his subordinates to handle the bodies and injured colleagues from the recent battle.
At this point, Liu Dong did not provoke Mo Ming. Consequently, Mo Ming suddenly appeared very intimidating to him—a fierce man with formidable strength who seemed to have luck on his side.
...
Back at Murong Wei's Hillside Mansion, Mo Ming stopped the car and said to Murong Lian, "Alright, we're home now. After you wash up, just go to sleep. By morning, everything will be fine."
"Can you stay with me tonight? I feel scared being alone..."
"Um?"
"Because of what happened tonight, it reminded me of things I had forgotten for a long time—terrifying memories that I didn't want to recall. I'm afraid to be alone; I'll start overthinking."
Before Mo Ming could respond, fearing rejection, Murong Lian quickly added, "You don't have to force yourself. If you're willing, just staying in the car with me for the night would be enough."
"I promise you." Mo Ming nodded and said, "Tonight, I will stay here with you. No matter how terrifying the memories are, let the past remain in the past. One cannot always live in memories."
"But I really can't do it. Just thinking about..." Murong Lian's tears suddenly burst forth. Seeing this, Mo Ming quickly found a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "Alright, since it's a painful memory, let's not think about it. Close your eyes and feel the tranquility within your heart."
Murong Lian did not wipe her tears but followed Mo Ming's advice and closed her eyes, trying her best to remain calm. However, from her expression, it seemed she truly could not find peace.
"Imagine yourself on the coast, barefoot on the warm sand, strolling with the ebb and flow of the tide. The cool waves gently lap at your feet, making you feel comfortable. You like this feeling; remember it. It is so peaceful. On that shore, you are all alone, without any worries or pain. Be yourself and live in the most comfortable way..."
Mo Ming gently guided Murong Lian step by step to let go of her inner pain, hypnotizing her into a dream state where only in dreams could Murong Lian truly relax.
...
In the morning, when Aunt Xiang opened the door, she saw Mo Ming and Murong Lian in the car. Murong Lian was already fast asleep, but Mo Ming was still awake after a night of worry. Aunt Xiang immediately walked over.
Seeing Aunt Xiang approach, Mo Ming got out of the car and said to her, "Something happened last night. She seems to have recalled some terrifying things from the past and is very fragile now."
"Ah?" Aunt Xiang exclaimed anxiously. "This is bad! Did Miss recall what happened back then? That would be terrible! If Mr. finds out, he would be so worried."
"Let's not think about that for now; let's just get her home to rest," Mo Ming said as she picked up Murong Lian and carried her to her room. After settling Murong Lian down, Mo Ming left.
"Aunt Xiang, please stay with her these days and don't let her think too much alone. I will handle things at the company for her. Also, please call Murong Old Man; right now, Murong Lian needs her father's love the most."
After giving Aunt Xiang a few instructions, Mo Ming drove away.
Since she had been with Murong Lian all night, Mo Ming hadn't been able to call Lin Yuan'er and could only send a text message telling her not to worry and that they would talk tomorrow. Lin Yuan'er didn't ask further questions and simply replied with "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Now that she had time, Mo Ming naturally went to find Lin Yuan'er first to explain what had happened last night. Lin Yuan'er didn't take Mo Ming staying with Murong Lian all night to heart; instead, she urged Mo Ming to spend more time with her.
A few days passed, and the most terrifying robbery in history at the Phoenix Grand Hotel caused a sensation throughout Nanhua City and even reached the capital. This was a malicious incident, prompting immediate action from the capital, which collaborated with American law enforcement to hold Yang Yuan's Ultimate Electronics Company criminally accountable.
After a series of investigations, it was discovered that Ultimate Electronics Company had long been using legitimate business as a cover for numerous illegal activities, leading to chaotic operations and severe financial distress.
The Nanhua City Branch was merely a facade, intended to threaten the wealth of the affluent in Nanhua City. In response, the U.S. government seized Ultimate Electronics Company, froze the finances of its executives, and arrested the chairman of Ultimate Electronics Company, who was also Yang Yuan's father.
The money belonging to those wealthy merchants in Nanhua City was recovered; however, the charitable efforts were handed over to Fu Meng as the new responsible party, with the amount remaining unchanged.
Fu Meng, busy with work, did not refuse the role of charity head and gladly accepted it.
Due to this incident, Phoenix Grand Hotel's stock plummeted, but Mo Ming was unconcerned and entrusted all matters to Chen Xuanyi. Meanwhile, he helped Murong Lian manage the company and would occasionally visit Murong Lian with Lin Yuan'er.
Murong Wei left her job and rushed back home, spending time with Murong Lian. However, Murong Lian's emotions remained volatile, leading to some irritability towards Murong Wei.
Fortunately, after a few days of rest, Murong Lian's condition improved significantly. For several nights, Aunt Xiang stayed by her side while she slept. In recalling past events, Murong Lian experienced nightmares almost every night that jolted her awake.
