In her laptop, Feng Ruoxi chatted with Xiao Zheng, typing with a sense of urgency: "They have poked a cobra resting in its lair, consequences will be dire."
Xiao Zheng, reading the message in his living room, replied with a sense of confusion: "What happened?"
Feng Ruoxi's response was succinct yet loaded with implication: "Remember the friend I told you to look out for?" When Xiao Zheng acknowledged with a simple "Hmm," she continued, "Her father."
A weighted silence fell between them, the gravity of the situation sinking in. After a moment, Xiao Zheng responded, his words laced with a hint of resignation: "I didn't know, must have been a secret operation."
Feng Ruoxi's reply was swift and resolute, a harbinger of the storm that was brewing within her. "Find out who killed him. It's going to be life for a life."
