Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The night was as dark as ink. The moonlight filtered through the gauze curtains, sprinkling on Avril and Zhong Yuemin, adding a touch of tenderness to the quiet night.

Avril's fingers slid gently across Zhong Yuemin's solid chest, as if drawing a blueprint for the future. Avril's eyes sparkled with wisdom and determination.

"Yuemin, the money has entered Japan smoothly and has all been converted into Japanese yen. Every step has been taken carefully and has not attracted any unnecessary attention."

Avril's voice was low and magnetic, and every word revealed her pride in the successful completion of the mission.

Zhong Yuemin smiled gently, his eyes full of doting and gratitude. "Avril, you always give me the greatest support when I need it most. Thank you for your hard work. Although these words are light, they carry all my gratitude."

Avril smiled slightly, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright. "Why should we talk about this between us? However, since you have decided to make a big splash in Japan's real estate and stock markets, we have to plan it carefully." Her tone became serious, and her eyes flashed with anticipation for unknown challenges.

Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he knew the result, he was not as proficient as Avril in specific financial operations.

"Avril, I am indeed optimistic about the future development of Japan, especially the real estate and stock markets, but I really need your advice on how to operate and allocate funds to maximize the benefits."

Avril sat up. In the moonlight, her silhouette was particularly clear, like a female general planning a strategy. "Yuemin, I think we can divide the funds into three parts. The first part is used to directly invest in high-quality real estate projects in Japan, especially those commercial real estate and residential projects located in economic centers such as Tokyo and Osaka, where housing prices are expected to rise in the long term."

Zhong Yuemin added, "Avril, we are mainly buying land."

"Secondly, we can invest in the stock market, especially those technology and manufacturing stocks with growth potential." Avril nodded and continued. Her analysis was clear and logical.

"As for the third part, we can set up a venture capital fund to invest in some start-ups or small companies with innovative technologies. Although the risk is higher, once successful, the returns will be huge." Avril's eyes flashed with desire and curiosity for the unknown world.

Under the gentle embrace of the night, Zhong Yuemin's eyes sparkled with deep admiration for Avril's plan. "Avril, your layout is so flawless and breathtaking. However, faced with such a grand investment plan, our funds seem to be a little stretched." There was a hint of worry in his words, but more of it was trust in Avril's abilities.

Avril smiled softly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling the haze in Zhong Yuemin's heart. "Yuemin, you really care about real estate the most. But don't worry, I have already made plans for the funding issue."

Avril's words were filled with unquestionable confidence. "We can focus our main funds on the real estate market, which is our real main battlefield. As for the stock market, we can use the power of Goldman Sachs to raise funds."

"Goldman Sachs?" Zhong Yuemin's eyes flashed with surprise, then he was relieved. "You work there, so you can naturally get the most favorable conditions for us. It's really a great idea to lower the interest rate to the lowest."

Avril continued, her voice full of deep insight into the market. "Moreover, investing in the primary market does not require a huge flow of funds. The key lies in accurate vision and decisive decision-making. We only need to act at the critical moment to get the maximum return with a small investment."

Zhong Yuemin listened to Avril's story, his brows gradually relaxed, and the approval in his eyes became more and more obvious. He gently held Avril's hand, feeling the warmth and firmness from her fingertips, and his heart was filled with gratitude and trust. "Avril, you always give me the clearest guidance at critical moments. Just do as you say, I completely trust your judgment."

The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust between them were like bright stars, illuminating each other's hearts.

As the night deepened, everything was silent, with only the sound of their two heartbeats echoing in the silence.

Zhong Yuemin gently stroked Avril's hair, his eyes full of tenderness. "Avril, it's getting late, I should go back. You should rest early and get enough rest."

Upon hearing this, Avril pouted her lips and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, like a spoiled child. "It's so late, do you still want to go back? Can't you stay with me one more night?" There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, which made people impossible to refuse.

Zhong Yuemin's heart softened. "Be good and listen to me. I'll come over early tomorrow morning to have breakfast with you, take a walk with you, and do everything you like with you." His words were full of tenderness and promises, trying to calm Avril's emotions.

Avril looked at Zhong Yuemin's determined eyes and knew that his decision could not be changed. She sighed softly. Although she still felt reluctant, she understood and respected Zhong Yuemin more. "Well, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety." There was a hint of helplessness in her words, but more of her concern and love for Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin nodded, leaned over and kissed Avril lightly on the forehead, as if he was kissing her goodnight. "Good night, my baby. See you tomorrow." Then he turned and left, disappearing into the night.

In the courtyard of Beihai, the moonlight shines through the ancient eaves, casting a silvery glow, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to this ancient courtyard.

Zhong Yuemin pushed open the door, and a familiar and warm courtyard atmosphere hit him, but he unexpectedly ran into his father Zhong Shanyue's slightly reproachful gaze. "You come back so late, what have you been doing? Don't you know that your family is waiting for you?"

Zhong Yuemin's heart tightened, but then he changed his tone to a relaxed one, saying with a smile, "Hey, Dad, I was really shocked by your sudden appearance. How come you have time to come here today? Did you miss me?"

As Zhong Yuemin spoke, he walked towards the living room and found Zhou Xiaobai sitting next to him, looking at him with a smile, a look that said "I knew it".

"Yuemin, Dad has been here a long time ago. It seems like he really has something to talk to you about." Zhou Xiaobai interrupted at the right time, breaking the delicate atmosphere between father and son.

Zhong Yuemin realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly stopped smiling. He said seriously, "Really? Dad, what do you want from me? I'm sorry to have you waiting so late."

Zhong Shanyue sighed lightly, his tone was both blaming and helpless. "You kid, you are always so busy. Come back early when you have nothing to do. Look at Shihua and Haichen, they are already asleep. You, as a father, don't go to bed as early as them, and you are even busier than me."

"Dad, you're right. I did go to meet an important friend and deal with some things today, so I came back late. I will pay attention next time and try to come back earlier."

Seeing this, Zhong Shanyue's expression eased a little. "It's good that you know. Work is important, but family cannot be neglected. Shihua and Haichen need fatherly love right now, and you can't miss their growth."

Zhong Yuemin nodded. "Don't worry, Dad, I will. No matter how busy I am in the future, I will try to come back early."

Zhong Shanyue nodded, his eyes revealing trust and expectation for his son, and then he told the purpose of his visit. "Half of the money we borrowed will be used for economic construction, which is the established plan. The other half is intended for investment in order to obtain better returns. Yuemin, do you have any good suggestions?"

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed. "Dad, this... I really don't know how to say it. After all, haven't we already discussed it before?" There was a hint of hesitation in his words, and it seemed that he did not want to change the established plan easily.

Zhong Shanyue saw his son's concerns, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "There are only three of us here, Xiaobai is here too, what can't we talk about? Just tell me, is there any safer and lower-risk investment method?"

Zhong Yuemin pondered for a moment, his eyes became firm. "Dad, if we really want to find a safe and promising investment direction, I think real estate is a good choice. Xiaobai also knows that a few years ago I asked Du Weiguo, now Takehara Masaki, to set up a real estate company in Japan. Now, I think it's time to speed up. We are going to start buying a lot of land to lay the foundation for future development."

Zhong Shanyue frowned. "Anything else?"

"Then there is the stock market, which is actually very convenient for withdrawing money..."

"Okay, I got it. You and Xiaobai should go to bed early!"

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning quietly penetrates into the courtyard of Sanmiao Street, covering this ancient courtyard with a layer of golden coat.

Zhong Yuemin gently pushed open the door, and an unusual smell instantly rushed into his nose. He subconsciously fanned his nose with his hands, trying to dispel this sudden "surprise".

"Avril, why are you crying?" Zhong Yuemin's voice was filled with confusion and concern. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Avril curled up on the bed, her face full of tear marks, looking particularly pitiful.

Eve raised her head, her eyes red, and looked at Zhong Yuemin helplessly. "Yuemin, what's wrong with me? I'm so scary! And I stink so badly. How can I go out and see people?" Her voice was full of fear and anxiety.

Zhong Yuemin took a closer look and was immediately amused by Avril's appearance. It turned out that Avril's face, neck, arms, and even her entire body were covered with a layer of black stuff, which did look a bit scary. But Zhong Yuemin knew that this was actually a good thing.

"Have you forgotten the medicine I asked you to take yesterday?" Zhong Yuemin suppressed his smile and said to Avril seriously. "This is called meridian cleansing and marrow cleansing. It is a special drug reaction. It can help you expel toxins from your body and make you healthier and more beautiful."

"What is menstrual cleansing and marrow cleansing?" Eve looked at Zhong Yuemin in confusion. "Was that really poison you made me take yesterday?" Her tone was full of confusion and worry.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and shook his head, explaining patiently, "Of course it's not poison. Washing the meridians and removing the marrow is an ancient Chinese medicine treatment that helps the body detoxify, nourish the skin, and improve physical fitness through the effects of drugs. The black stuff you see now is the result of toxins in your body being excreted."

"Really?" Avril looked at Zhong Yuemin doubtfully. "Then what should I do? It's so embarrassing to go out like this!"

"Don't worry, go take a shower." Zhong Yuemin pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "When you come out, I promise you will like your new look. You will find that your skin has become smoother and more delicate, and your whole person will be refreshed."

After hearing what Zhong Yuemin said, Avril mustered up the courage to walk to the bathroom. After a while, the sound of water splashing could be heard in the bathroom. Zhong Yuemin sat by the bed, waiting patiently.

About half an hour later, the bathroom door finally opened, and Avril came out in a loose bathrobe with an incredible smile on her face.

"Yuemin, you're right! I really feel different after taking a shower! My skin becomes so smooth, and all those black things are gone!"

Zhong Yuemin stood up with a smile, walked to Avril and hugged her gently. "See, I didn't lie to you. This is the magic of 'Meridian Cleansing'. Now, you can look in the mirror and see the changes in yourself."

Avril excitedly ran to the mirror and looked at her face and body carefully. The person in the mirror was indeed very different from before. Her skin was whiter and more delicate, and she seemed to have been reborn. She turned around and looked at Zhong Yuemin with gratitude. "Thank you, Yuemin. You gave me such a big surprise!"

Zhong Yuemin looked at Avril with a gentle smile in his eyes. "Avril, you will always keep this appearance in the future. Are you happy?"

Avril's eyes lit up instantly. She touched her face in disbelief, feeling the unprecedented smoothness and delicacy. "Really? Yuemin, this... is this what you call the capital for a comeback?"

Zhong Yuemin nodded slightly, his smile deepening. "That's about right!"

However, this warm atmosphere did not last long. Avril hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke out her decision. "Yuemin, if nothing else, I'm going back to Hong Kong Island."

Zhong Yuemin frowned slightly when he heard this. "Are you in such a hurry? Can't you stay a few more days?"

Avril shook her head gently, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "I can't help it. There are a lot of work waiting for me to deal with in Hong Kong Island. Besides, I also need to go back to sort out my thoughts and prepare for the next work."

Zhong Yuemin nodded in understanding, although he was very reluctant. "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. But remember to take good care of yourself and contact me if you have any questions."

Avril nodded, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes. "I will, Yuemin, do you have any plans in Japan?"

"Just follow the rhythm, we still have time."
