The evening at the Jiang villa was calm, with the soft glow of the setting sun filtering through the grand windows, casting long, warm shadows across the spacious rooms. Feng Ruoxi sat at her desk in her study, scrolling through some documents she had received earlier from Xiao Zheng, her mind focused but tense. After the unsettling encounter with the man who had been following her, Ruoxi found it hard to shake the feeling of something dark looming over her life, a storm brewing just beyond her reach.
Just as she began to review the data Xiao Zheng had sent her regarding their next move against the organization that had betrayed her, her phone rang, the sharp sound cutting through the quiet. Glancing at the screen, she saw her uncle Pang Zhong's name flash across the display.
