Chapter 1

The
moonlight tonight is like a ribbon, the night like a curtain, the cool silver and blue hues intertwining in tranquility to create a magnificent and soft harmony, flowing silently. Occasionally, leaves slowly drift down from the tall plane trees, adding a dynamic and exquisite touch to this dreamlike night scene.
He had forgotten how many years ago it began, only vaguely remembering that in his nearly twenty-six years, every late autumn, on such a bright moonlit night, this heart-wrenching sorrow would quietly assail his heart, bringing him a sleepless night.
He didn't understand the reason for this heartbreaking sadness, but his nature told him not to overthink it, simply attributing it to an innate, laughable sentimentality.
Tonight, with its enchanting moonlight, seemed to be no exception.
Wei Jingcheng took a slightly somber sip of his coffee, a touch of melancholy
in his eyes, reflecting that his body had unconsciously and completely accepted this habit. For him, appreciating the moonlight alone all night was not difficult, as years of habit had subconsciously made him regard this feeling as another way to calm his tiredness, besides sleep.
Therefore, even if he didn't sleep a wink tonight, he would still have the energy to handle busy work and tedious social engagements tomorrow.
The moonlight tonight looked different from usual…
Wei Jingcheng looked up and carefully gazed at the crescent moon radiating a soft light, seemingly with a faint purple hue added to its silvery white color; it was truly beautiful.
He picked up his coffee cup again, the bitter taste of the cold coffee gradually spreading from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, and then to his heart.
Suddenly, a black figure quietly scaling the high wall equipped with an alarm system instantly attracted Wei Jingcheng's full attention—the black figure easily leaped onto the wall and then calmly entered the garden, its clean and efficient movements suggesting it was already accustomed to scaling walls.
In that instant, Wei Jingcheng couldn't help but widen his eyes—the alarm system on the wall didn't react at all! How could this be?
But the situation didn't allow him a moment's hesitation. Almost instinctively, he rushed silently out of the room. But the moment he stepped into the garden, a strip of cloth, as if already waiting for him, firmly sealed his mouth. The next moment, he lost consciousness... He
didn't know how much time had passed when he slowly awoke, only to find himself lying on his bed in his own room. Although his mouth was still sealed and his limbs were immobile, his consciousness was fully awake.
The faint sound of water coming from the bathroom startled him slightly—was the assailant still in the room?
What would he do next? Murder or kidnapping?
Before he could think further, almost silent footsteps appeared in the room. Wei Jingcheng quickly closed his eyes, pretending not to wake up.
"I know you're awake," a cold voice whispered in his ear, as if seeing into his very soul, revealing his thoughts without any emotion. “I won’t kill you, and there’s no need for me to kidnap you.”
Wei Jingcheng opened his eyes helplessly, and almost immediately, he froze—this thug who had bound him like a dumpling was completely different from the terrifying image he had imagined. Instead, he was indescribably beautiful—his icy face was like the bright moon, radiating a mysterious and alluring aura like a night elf.
“I’m not a robber either.” Having seen through his thoughts once again, he skillfully bandaged the wound on his shoulder, gave Wei Jingcheng a cold look, and then fell silent, simply sitting on the sofa against the wall and closing his eyes to rest quietly.
—However, even in his nap, he remained extremely vigilant.
Wei Jingcheng shifted his gaze from his exquisite face to the blood-stained bandage on his shoulder blade.
The wound seemed quite deep, and judging from the shape of the blood seeping through, it appeared to be a knife wound. He was probably fleeing from someone’s pursuit, and had broken into his house to avoid being exposed by the blood.
If his guess was correct, then if he remained silent, he would indeed be safe.
While calmly assessing his own safety, Wei Jingcheng intently observed the black-clad man's subtle movements and his expressionless, exquisitely beautiful face. He was astonished to find himself seemingly mesmerized by that delicate face, as if bewitched, unable to tear his gaze from its blank beauty.
In the long, silent stillness, dawn slowly illuminated the night outside the window. As if sensing the change in light, he opened his eyes.
The instant the faint light touched his eyes, Wei Jingcheng was startled. They were eyes of extraordinary beauty he had never seen before, clear as amethyst crystal frozen in a crystalline spring—cold, yet alluring.
"Your courage is commendable," the black-clad man said expressionlessly, walking to Wei Jingcheng's side and untying the ropes that had bound him all night. "You're one of only two people who've watched me for so long and are still alive and well."
"Is this the price for being tied up by you all night?" Wei Jingcheng stared directly at the extraordinary face before him, asking without fear.
Seemingly unwilling to speak with a stranger any longer, the man in black merely glanced at him coldly, calmly picked up his black coat from the sofa, and walked towards the balcony behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Just as he was about to leap off the building, Wei Jingcheng, who had been watching his every move intently, suddenly seemed to be manipulated, muttering a name he had never heard before—"Xi Zhao..."

The man in black seemed startled, his swift and decisive movements halting for half a second, but only for half a second—"You seem to have mistaken me for someone else."
The emotionless voice quickly brought Wei Jingcheng back to his senses. Before he could even reflect on his actions, the man in black's renewed leap came into his view. In his haste, he blurted out, "Wait!"
The man in black turned and glanced at him, a hint of impatience clearly visible in his purplish-brown eyes.
"Your injury isn't suitable for jumping from such a high building. No one's awake yet, and no one will notice if you go out the door."
"No need."
As the black-clad man's words faded, he quickly disappeared from the ornate European-style balcony, leaving only the gradually brightening dawn light lingering quietly on the silvery-white railing.
Wei Jingcheng watched the tall, slender black figure gradually disappear into the dawn's glow, a sense of inexplicable loneliness quietly welling up in his heart.
When he returned to headquarters, it was already broad daylight.
As soon as he stepped inside, Han Lun, who was pacing anxiously in the lobby, immediately noticed the bleeding wound on his shoulder. His already uneasy expression turned grim—"Xian, you're injured."
"It's just a minor injury, no need to make a fuss. A bandage will heal it quickly," Xian said casually.
"Don't."
Han Lun's concerned eyes contained a barely perceptible tenderness as he approached Xian, carefully examining his wound.
"Lan, go and fetch that kid Mu De."
Lan, who had been silently standing behind Han Lun, nodded upon hearing this and quickly walked out the door.
"Don't be nervous, you won't die." As if responding to Han Lun's furrowed brows, Xuan lightly waved her uninjured right hand and sat down on the sofa in the hall.
"How did you get injured?" Han Lun's stern tone concealed a calm before the storm.
"He received advance intelligence, so he set up numerous traps to lure me into a trap." A hint of sarcasm played on Xuan's face. "Originally, I was almost gone from this world as he wished, but after seeing me, he made the last-minute decision to capture me alive. Unfortunately, this became his last and biggest blunder."
"I think you still haven't wiped out all his underlings." Han Lun suppressed his uncontrollable anger and carefully unwrapped the bandage binding Xuan's wound.
Xuan nodded slightly. "That's my habit."
Han Lun gazed into Xuan's somewhat tired eyes. "Promise me you'll be more careful next time, okay?"
"I'll try."
Only in front of Han Lun would Xuan occasionally reveal a faint smile.
"Ah!—Where is my most beautiful person? You're injured! Hearing this news almost broke my heart!" Mu De's figure quickly appeared at the door of the hall. After seeing where Xuan was, he immediately pounced on her with lightning speed. "Baby, how badly are you hurt—?" "Ah—!" The next moment, a scream rang out as expected.
However, unfortunately, the scream did not come from Xuan, but from Mu De himself. He did not get to fall into the arms of the beauty as he wished, but crashed into a solid wall of flesh.
"I don't mind if you die, but you have to heal Xuan's wounds first." Han Lun's emotionless voice fell from above his head.
"Boss, you're so cruel, actually telling me to die!" Mu De rubbed his handsome nose, which was almost deformed from the impact, while pretending to cry sadly.
"It doesn't matter if you're gone." There was an imperceptible smile in the corner of Han Lun's eyes. "And it can also reduce some unnecessary expenses."
"Ah! Boss, your words have pierced my pure heart, you're so cruel!" Mu De responded to Han Lun with great acting skills, while magically producing a series of wound-treating medicines from his pocket and carefully disinfecting Xuan's wound.
"You better concentrate, or I'll feed you to the dogs." Han Lun continued to threaten the grinning Mu De.
"Dear Xuan, listen to this, is there any justice in this world? I've worked like a slave for the boss, and he wants to feed me to the dogs! Ah!"
Xuan didn't answer, only a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Not feeding you to the cats is already the greatest mercy I can show." Han Lun crossed his arms and coldly watched Mu De's professional and swift bandaging movements.
"Hey, boss, you have a tendency to discriminate against animals, how is a cute kitten inferior to those fierce dogs?"
