Jiu Jiu laughed, "Thank you for still thinking of me. I originally planned to take pictures of us, but I once vowed that if I found my true dragon who could conquer me, I would start anew for him. So, I am planning to break off my ties with Han Fenghuang."

"You are my true dragon, and if from now on I only like you, could you also like me?" Jiu Jiu said, somewhat emotionally stirred.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. What was this all about? Had this woman gone mad?

"I'm sorry, but it seems we've only known each other for one night."

Jiu Jiu looked up at him, tears swirling in her eyes: "I know you must look down on me, thinking I'm unclean. If from now on, I only love you, can't you forgive my past?"

Ling Zhenfei really hadn't expected Jiu Jiu to cry; she was different from the Jiu Jiu he met last night.

"I'm really sorry, but that's not what I meant. I don't look down on you; it's just that we've only known each other for one night. Who knows what the future holds? I can't promise you anything."

"Having your word is enough for me; it means I have a chance." Jiu Jiu declared confidently, her eyes filled with determination. But this determination made Ling Zhenfei feel afraid—this crazy woman, he really didn't know what she might do in the future.

"Jiu Jiu, my life is very stable right now, and I don't want you to disrupt it."

"I won't disturb your life, rest assured. You have just given me the motivation to keep living."

Suddenly, Jiu Jiu glanced at her phone and became anxious, "Oh no, it's so late. I still have things to do today."

Ling Zhenfei also intended to leave, to go and have a look at his fish base, but then he suddenly received a call from an unknown number. He quickly answered.

On the other end was the sound of someone breathing heavily, as if they were engaged in strenuous activity. Ling Zhenfei immediately recognized the voice—it was Zhuo Yue.

"Zhuo Yue, is that you?" Ling Zhenfei asked tentatively.

"Ling Zhenfei, I've been found out. I think this time my chances are slim!" Zhuo Yue on the other end was breathing hard; he was clearly hiding from something.

Ling Zhenfei felt his heart skip a beat after hearing this, "First, find a safe place to hide. I'll come to find you right away. Where are you?"

"I'm currently in Capital City."

"Good. Wait for me; I'll be there shortly. Stay hidden until I find you; don't come out."

"Okay, please hurry, I'm terrified."

"Baby, don't worry. I'll come as quickly as I can, and with me around, no one will be able to harm you."

After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei immediately took a taxi to the airport and, while on the way, booked the next flight to Capital City. He dared not waste any time; he was worried about Zhuo Yue's safety.

He arrived at the airport in record time and boarded the plane as quickly as possible. But once he was on the plane, no matter how anxious he was, he could not speed up the flight. Ling Zhenfei could only hope for Zhuo Yue's safety.

The plane landed quickly in Capital City. It was his first time there, but he had no choice in the matter. As soon as he got off the plane, the first thing he did was to turn on his phone, which indeed showed several missed calls, all from Zhuo Yue. But when he tried to call back, no one answered.

A shock ran through Ling Zhenfei's heart; how could Zhuo Yue not answer her phone? Logically, there was no reason for her to not answer, unless something really had happened.

Arriving in Capital City, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt aimless, not knowing where to find Zhuo Yue. She had only said she was in Capital City, but she did not specify where. The city was so large; where was he supposed to look for her?

With no other choice, Ling Zhenfei took a taxi to the most central area of Capital City to wait for Zhuo Yue's call. As long as he received a call from her, he would immediately take a taxi there.

But waiting until evening, he still did not receive a call from Zhuo Yue, and even when he tried to call, her phone was now turned off.

His heart hung heavy; Zhuo Yue was likely in trouble. If she weren't, why wouldn't she answer the phone?

After finding a hotel to stay in, Ling Zhenfei did not sleep at all that night. First thing the next morning, he received a call from Zhuo Yue.

Overjoyed, Ling Zhenfei quickly answered, "Hello, Zhuo Yue, is that you?"

To Ling Zhenfei's surprise, a strange man's voice came from the other end, "Zhuo Yue is in our hands."

Ling Zhenfei's heart sank; it seemed his suspicions were correct, something had happened to Zhuo Yue.

"What do you want, what will it take to release her?"

The man on the phone chuckled, "You have quite a few questions. If you really want this girl to live, answer whatever I ask you."

"Ask away." Ling Zhenfei's heart pounded; Zhuo Yue had been captured, likely because of the Black Death Order. These people were probably after the multi-million bounty. He wondered what Zhuo Yue had told them.

"What's your name?" the person asked.

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. Since the call was made using Zhuo Yue's phone, shouldn't her phone have his name on it? If the caller didn't know, then it was very possible Zhuo Yue's phone didn't have his name saved on it.

"My name is Lin Fei," Ling Zhenfei blurted out a name to probe how much these people knew.

"Lin Fei, what's your relationship with this girl?"

"I'm her boyfriend."

"Then tell me straight, was it you and this girl who were involved with that Imperial Palace Club incident?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled. With the way these people were asking, it seemed Zhuo Yue hadn't given him away; so there was still room to maneuver.

"Big brother, what Imperial Palace Club? I am the type of person who dislikes such places the most. I know my girlfriend is a journalist. Did she expose your club or something? Then you should be looking for the TV station, not troubling my girlfriend."

"If you don't know, then get lost. I'm asking you, has your girlfriend given you anything to keep safe?"

Ling Zhenfei pondered for a moment and realized they were after the list.

"She did give me a memory card to keep safe."

"A memory card? What's on it?" The excitement in the man's voice was unmistakable.

"Yeah, a memory card. As for its content, I don't know, but my girlfriend said it's important."

What Ling Zhenfei wanted now was to know where these people were, so he might find Zhuo Yue and rescue her.

"Kid, do you want your girlfriend to live?"

"Of course, she's so beautiful. I love her," Ling Zhenfei feigned stupidity on purpose.

"If you want your girlfriend to live, well, that's easy. Just bring us the memory card, and I'll let your girlfriend go."
