Chapter 124

Seeing Chen Momo looking so pained as she fell into her memories, Beiming Qianye couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache. He comforted her softly, “It’s all in the past… Everything has passed… Don’t be afraid. You still have me by your side.”

Under his gentle comfort, Chen Momo’s emotions gradually calmed down. She found his embrace incredibly warm and safe. Although she had suffered many terrible experiences in the past, she no longer felt afraid.

“Everything is in the past… I will definitely give you and our child a happy life…” Beiming Qianye whispered softly into her ear, his eyes slightly red as he gently stroked her cheek.

Somehow, Gu Rongjin had also arrived in front of this building. Perhaps it was long-buried memories that had drawn him here. Just five years ago, his subordinate—an outstanding female comrade codenamed Fire Rose—had lost her life in an explosion at this exact spot because of an error in his intel. Today, he had come to pay his respects to her.

However, to his absolute surprise, he actually ran into Beiming Qianye and Chen Momo! He watched as the two of them drove away. He wondered why Beiming Qianye had brought her here; he simply couldn’t understand it. Logically speaking, this place had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Right at that moment, several men suddenly rushed out from the shadows. The man leading them looked incredibly ferocious. Gu Rongjin recognized him at a glance—this was the second-in-command of the Heilong Gang, Zhang Wei.

The Heilong Gang had already been completely eradicated, and Zhang Wei had been scurrying from hiding place to hiding place with his few surviving brothers, panicking like stray dogs. Gu Rongjin never expected to run into him here today.

Zhang Wei cursed viciously, “Damn it, he got away again! If he had dared to stay here a little longer, I, Zhang Wei, would have definitely killed Beiming Qianye!”

One of his underlings muttered, “Brother Zhang, stop talking tough. You were clearly terrified of Beiming Qianye. You cowered in the dark for ages without even daring to show your face.”

Naturally, Zhang Wei refused to admit his cowardice. He glared back at the underling and snapped fiercely, “Shut your mouth! Beiming Qianye also brought that Fire Rose with him. Don’t you know how dangerous the two of them are together? Forget Beiming Qianye—even that Fire Rose beside him could easily take on five of us by herself! She’s a black belt in Taekwondo!”

The underling grumbled, “Who knew she was an undercover agent… and Beiming Qianye’s girlfriend to boot… Man, she really played her part perfectly those few years. She gained the trust of all our brothers. I bet she leaked a lot of our intel! If I had known that woman was a mole, I would have killed her ages ago…”

Sudden realization dawned on Gu Rongjin. Chen Momo was the former Fire Rose!

“She jumped out the window back then. Even if the fall didn’t kill her, it definitely gave her a concussion,” Zhang Wei and his men said with a snicker.

Gu Rongjin’s hands clenched tightly into fists. Now that these pieces of trash had fallen into his lap, there was no way they were escaping today! Slowly, he raised his gun.

Suddenly, a rapid string of gunshots echoed across the snow. The last remnants of the Heilong Gang—Zhang Wei and his scurrying brothers—collapsed to the ground one after another.

But just as Gu Rongjin turned to leave, the supposedly dead Zhang Wei suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing a bulletproof vest underneath. With a bloody hand, he grabbed a gun from the snow and aimed it at Gu Rongjin’s back.

Sensing something amiss, Gu Rongjin immediately whipped around. He aimed straight at Zhang Wei’s head and killed him with a single shot.

However, at the exact same moment, another bullet flew accurately toward Gu Rongjin. His chest tightened as a blossom woven of fresh blood bloomed across his shirt. Facing the sunlight, he slowly collapsed into the snow.

The moment he closed his eyes, Gu Rongjin smiled faintly and murmured to himself, “I offer my life as an apology to you.” After speaking, a sudden wave of profound relief washed over him. Wearing a peaceful smile, he slowly closed his eyes.

Three months later.

“The heavy snow has melted! Today is a great day!”

Today was indeed a wonderful day! The Capital, in particular, was brimming with a festive atmosphere. The whole world seemed to be celebrating. Today was the wedding day of Beiming Qianye and Chen Momo! The television news was broadcasting the joyous announcement.

On this day, countless women found themselves heartbroken. The legendary ultra-rich bachelor, Beiming Qianye, was actually getting married! And his bride was none other than Boss Chen, the internet-famous female entrepreneur with tens of millions of followers across major media platforms!

“I heard Boss Chen’s pickled fish restaurant has opened a thousand franchise locations nationwide!”

“Boss Chen is truly impressive. I can’t believe a woman managed to scale a business to such massive heights!”

“So, how does the saying go? A woman must make her own money first. If you don’t believe it, just look at Boss Chen! She and our General Beiming are a match made in heaven!”

At the same time, the nationwide economic recovery was unfolding with tremendous momentum. After the snow melted, Shen Zhongchen organized relevant departments across various regions to manage the drainage, diverting all the meltwater into rivers to prevent massive flooding. In addition, factories began resuming operations, and farmers returned to tending their fields.

E-commerce livestreaming was also developing at a breakneck pace. As part of the first wave of internet celebrities, Chen Momo had long since amassed tens of millions of online followers, firmly establishing herself as the number one streamer.

The happiest person of all, however, was Xu Xiaoka. As Chen Momo’s assistant, Xu Xiaoka was tasked with managing the guest affairs on behalf of Momo and General Beiming. The people arriving to offer their congratulations and gifts were all distinguished VIPs whose names were known throughout the country! Because of this, Xu Xiaoka received so many red envelopes that her hands grew tired just from collecting them.

With the national economy recovering, the country had decided to issue a new currency, naturally rendering the original base credits useless. Overnight, the base credits depreciated massively.

It wasn’t until this moment that Xu Xiaoka realized Chen Momo’s foresight. It turned out that the reason Momo had instructed her to convert all their base credits into gold and diamonds ahead of time was to preserve their wealth! Xu Xiaoka couldn’t help but admire her sharp eye. If it hadn’t been for Momo’s reminder, she would still be foolishly holding onto a massive pile of base credits, just waiting for them to become worthless.

Naturally, Shen Zhongchen was also delighted. The Chief was now absolutely glowing with vitality and high spirits, brimming with endless energy. He had also become much more sunny and cheerful, constantly wearing a bright smile on his face. It was obvious that the Chief’s current life was incredibly blissful! Shen Zhongchen felt genuinely happy for him from the bottom of his heart! Furthermore, the Chief had never needed to take his medication again, and his condition hadn’t relapsed once.

As for Chen Xiaobao, he was beyond thrilled. First, he was overjoyed that his mommy had found someone who truly loved her. Second, he had learned a profound lesson from her: one must never give up on themselves, no matter the circumstances. Even at rock bottom, as long as one strived constantly for self-improvement and seized every opportunity, they could turn their life around just like his mommy did!

However, Chen Xiaobao still had one solitary frustration—he had to change his last name again! From now on, he was no longer Chen Xiaobao. Everyone had to address him as Beiming Xiaobao!

He found that, upon first hearing it, the new name still took a little getting used to!
