Moyao intends to rescue Ji Bing, but Xiao Bai has gone missing. Ji Bing must be worried sick, and with him being detained by the federation, he can only imagine what kind of treatment Ji Bing is receiving. These people will do anything to force out Xiao Bai's whereabouts, and Ji Bing surely won't endure it.

Moyao doesn’t care about Ji Bing; if he could, Moyao would prefer that Ji Bing didn't exist in this world at all. She was the first person Xiao Bai wanted to marry over the years, but Moyao feels nothing positive towards Ji Bing. However, Ji Bing exists and cannot simply be denied. Since she does exist, Moyao never thought of hating her enough to kill her. The only person he cares about is Xiao Bai. If Ji Bing dies because of this, she will always occupy a place in Xiao Bai's heart that no one can displace. Moyao won't allow such an event to occur; after this experience, he can’t let go of Xiao Bai again. Therefore, Xiao Bai must make things clear with Ji Bing - Ji Bing cannot die, or else Xiao Bai would blame himself for the rest of his life. Moyao understands this feeling best and will ensure that Ji Bing lives for Xiao Bai's sake.

Before her suicide attempt, Xiao Bai said sorry to Ji Bing, indicating how important this woman is in his heart. No matter what happens, he must save her so that Xiao Bai can have the chance to make things clear with Ji Bing. If Ji Bing dies, it would be over for both of them. Xiao Bai wouldn't feel at ease being with Moyao.

Moyao rallied himself and began planning to rescue Ji Bing. First, he had Mo Chen investigate where Ji Bing was detained. Mo Chen thought Moyao was putting himself in harm's way unnecessarily, but Ye Wei and Eleven supported his decision. Rescuing Ji Bing would mean that Xiao Bai wouldn't have to bear the guilt of Ji Bing dying for him any longer. If possible, Ye Wei wanted to personally rescue Ji Bing herself, ensuring her safety.

However, rescuing Ji Bing seemed easier than Moyao imagined because Ji Bing was a hostage, taken away secretly by the federation due to his status being different from Xiao Bai’s; therefore, their confidentiality wasn’t as strict. There were people within both the first terror organization and anti-terrorism forces who could collaborate to rescue Ji Bing. Mo Chen didn't spend much time figuring out that Ji Bing was held in a small town in California, guarded by several agents. Given the circumstances, they likely wouldn't anticipate Xiao Bai trying to save him due to his health condition.

Moyao naturally wouldn’t handle it himself; there's nothing worth his personal involvement at this point. He left the Su family only after ensuring Xiao Bai was lucid and left everything related to Ji Bing’s rescue in Kakak's and Mo Chen's hands.

Three days later, they successfully rescued Ji Bing, whom Mo Chen had taken to Sicily for protection. Initially, Mo Chen wanted to send Ji Bing to Riyadh, but Moyao’s words made him abandon that idea; he would personally protect Ji Bing himself.

Ji Bing wasn’t severely tortured and only endured some light punishment because she didn't disclose any information under interrogation. They weren't particularly difficult on her since she passed their lie detector test. Meeting Xiao Bai was something she looked forward to, but Mo Chen hadn't told her where he was.

When Baimu disappeared from the Moyao villa, Mo Chen informed Moyao of this development. Moyao didn’t say anything; Mo Chen couldn’t figure out what his next move would be and could only wait for instructions. Everything seemed so calm...

Calm like before a storm.

When Xiao Bai's external injuries were halfway healed, he began detoxification in complete isolation, with only Su Man and Baimu allowed to monitor him. Baimu did this because he believed it would be best for everyone if no one saw what was happening; not seeing it meant not feeling pain. No one knows exactly what Xiao Bai went through each time, only that both Su Man and Baimu were exhausted after his sessions, while Xiao Bai himself barely survived with the help of intravenous drips, on the brink of death.

Detoxification is harder than they imagined; such neurotoxic drugs can destroy even a strong physique and an indomitable spirit. White Night helplessly assisted Bai Xiaobai with detox, and the process made him want to give up several times.

To "give up" means relying on drugs indefinitely until they completely ruin Bai Xiaobai's body. Perhaps this would be better for him; he could live a few more years thanks to his medical skills. But Ye Wei insists that detoxification is necessary, regardless of how difficult it may be.

This was an ironclad command. She didn't see Bai Xiaobai's detox process as a wise choice because her inability to see it allowed her to make a more rational decision without softening her resolve. No matter how hard or bitter their lives were, they couldn't fall into the abyss of drug addiction.

Ye Wei insisted on detoxification, and Mo Yao also insisted on it. Although every time he saw Bai Xiaobai emerge from the detox room covered in blood and bruises, his heart ached terribly, he still believed that only quitting drugs was the best choice.

White Night said he might not survive if he couldn't endure the process.

Ye Wei feared this outcome, as did Mo Yao. But relying on drugs for survival is no different from living like a zombie. If Bai Xiaobai were to live aimlessly like that, Ye Wei would prefer him to die during detoxification at least giving his death some meaning and value.

Time passed slowly; since the start of the detox process, Mo Yao felt each day was an eternity. He always hoped for White Night and Su Man to emerge from the detox room, signifying that Bai Xiaobai had survived another day. He dared not look into their eyes, fearing to see despair.

He endured this hopelessness day after day.

Another grueling night passed; during the middle of the night, when Bai Xiaobai's addiction flared up again, Su Man and White Night sent him back to the detox room. Mo Yao wanted to go in but was kicked out by White Night. Shiyi held onto him, telling him not to act rashly since they had grown used to waiting.

"If Bai Xiaobai successfully overcomes his addiction, what will you do" Shiyi asked; throughout these days, she hadn't inquired about his future plans. Now that Bai Xiaobai had endured half a month of detoxification, Shiyi thought perhaps he was truly exceptional and could endure the pain.

"I'll take care of him for my whole life," Mo Yao said, "I want to be with Bai Xiaobai."

Shiyi nodded. "If you genuinely plan on being with Bai Xiaobai, you need to have more patience with him in the future and pay closer attention to his daily routine. Even after detoxing, he could easily relapse; White Night said it takes ten years of complete abstinence for a full recovery, during which time any exposure to drugs might make a second attempt at detox much harder, possibly making permanent recovery impossible."

"I know that one of my men was hit with ice—drug, and it took him three months to quit but six years to completely overcome the addiction. He only stopped feeling an urge when he saw no more drugs around him. I understand that after Xiao Bai quits, seeing the drug will still trigger a craving, making it hard for him to resist. I’ll take good care of him and ensure that he stays away from anything that might lead him back to his old habits. The Mafia rarely gets involved in the drug business, so I'll hand over all such dealings to others and make sure Xiao Bai never hears or sees any of it."

At 11 PM, "It's good that you're mentally prepared for this."

"Mommy, I love Xiao Bai," Mo Yao said frankly. Nodding at 11, she replied, "I know how much you care about Xiao Bai and how important he is to you. So cherish him well."

With his mental preparation in place, Mo Yao wondered if Xiao Bai could endure it.

The group anxiously awaited news when they saw White Night emerge covered in blood, rushing off to the operating room with several bags of blood. Mo Yao abruptly stood up, panicking as she recalled that from the moment he entered detox, they had never come out until completion and certainly not to fetch emergency supplies. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead; Riyadh's heat seemed stifling.

Kaka held his shoulder, "Don’t get flustered, everything will be alright."

Kaka was always optimistic, even after getting an artificial heart, he’d always say it’s fine. Therefore, among them all, Kaka had the best capacity to bear and remained the most calm person. Once you endure your own limit, others' limits seem less daunting.

As dawn broke, the detox room finally opened its door.

Xiao Bai was pushed into a sterile ward by White Night; all they could do was look through the window.

Ye Wei asked White Night, "What happened"

White Night removed his blood-stained gloves and for the first time since detox began, smiled. "It’s good news. From now on, Xiao Bai will start feeling better. A few more days and he should be through the worst of it. His mind will slowly come back to him."

Ye Wei smiled, “Really”

White Night nodded, "Indeed, Little White's physical condition is good. His foundation is stronger than I anticipated. Besides... it’s all for the best. Let's just endure a few more days. Today was painful, but it was also the most progressive."

"Are you injured, White Night" Eleven held his arm; it seemed that he had been hurt by some blunt object, leaving quite a large gash. Mu Ye said, "Did Little White do this Wasn't he bound up"

White Night calmly replied, "It’s nothing, there will always be unexpected accidents. It's just a superficial wound."

As White Night was saying this, Su Man walked past him and grabbed his hand, dragging them towards their courtyard. Her face was so grim that it was frightening; Su Beauty rarely showed any emotions, and they had only seen her like this once before.

Mojue was puzzled, "What’s going on"

Mu Ye was equally perplexed; how did these two manage to help Little White with his addiction The atmosphere felt tense as if an internal conflict might break out at any moment.

Ye Wei and Eleven exchanged glances, both equally confused. They couldn’t figure it out, let alone Kaka and Wushuang Moyo who were even more clueless. No one knew what had happened, only that Su Man and White Night didn't emerge until noon, having changed their clothes. Su Beauty once again returned to her usual composed expression of indifference as if the whole world could fall apart and it wouldn’t affect her in the slightest. White Night was still smiling pleasantly; they must have argued, because faint noises could be heard from their courtyard with loud voices of disagreement, but no one knew why. Ye Wei was certain that whatever had happened was related to Little White. She asked White Night, "How did you manage to help Little White overcome his addiction What problem did he encounter this time that made it necessary for him to be restrained and yet still hurt you"

"Weiwei, you wouldn’t want to know. If you need to find out in the future, ask Little White," said White Night. This was a matter of medical ethics. Ye Wei didn't inquire further; her furrowed brows remained tense.

As predicted by White Night, over the next few days, drug withdrawal symptoms occurred frequently. However, both White Night and Su Man remained clean, without any terrible injuries on their bodies. It seemed that Little White’s most challenging stage of detoxification was gradually passing.

Moyo was the happiest...

Little White finally regained his senses; he had been in a daze for over twenty days and it was time to wake up.

A slight unease stirred within Moyo’s heart, but this was overshadowed by the excitement of Little White's imminent awakening.m, practically devouring their food like wolves. Sen Sen praised Mu Chen’s cooking skills as superior even to those of five-star hotels. Gu Baobao also thought it was exceptionally delicious; she felt...
