Chapter 16: The Trap is set
I ordered Luo Bing to keep the medical annex secured and to ensure Elder Qin understood that my sudden absence was a tactical maneuver, not a retreat. The problem wasn’t the Master’s strength—it was his secrecy. The mole’s location depended entirely on him. And the only way to crack that link was to neutralize and interrogate the Master himself.“The Master now knows two things about me, Luo Bing,” I said, strapping the lighter alloy sheath onto my forearms. “One: I am the Shadow Heir, a threat buried in history. Two: I have techniques he cannot comprehend. He left the poison signature to provoke me, to force me into a mistake. And I will give him exactly what he wants.”Luo Bing’s eyes widened, alarm washing over his face. “Mr. Jiang, using yourself as bait for a Tier 1 Apex Master is suicidal! We barely survived his first probe. If he attacks full force, even Qin security won’t detect him before you’re finished. We should call for reinforcements from the martial arts alliances Elder
Chapter 15 :The Unseen Weakness
I stood over the shattered remains of the composite door, the small, dark ampoule containing the Volatile Neurotoxin B-11 clutched carefully in a forensic containment sleeve. The silence in the annex was absolute, broken only by the low hum of the System running its deep analysis. Luo Bing returned from the control room, pale but resolute, having confirmed the Master’s complete disappearance and the status of the Li Family’s financial fallout.“The Li Family is denying all knowledge of the Master, Mr. Jiang, and their security forces are publicly blaming the damage on a faulty industrial HVAC unit explosion,” Luo Bing reported, his voice tight with controlled disbelief. “They are executing a masterful cover-up, leveraging their political ties to silence the media about the Crimson Ascent crash. However, the internal damage is catastrophic. Li Cong is effectively neutralized financially, but he is protected by an invisible hand.”I didn’t look up from the ampoule. “The Li Family doesn’
Chapter 14: The Master Arrives
The name Master hung in the stale air of Madame Lin’s wretched apartment, a chilling promise of professional death. She was still weeping, clutching at her dress, body trembling, oblivious to the fact that her confession of betrayal had just handed me the single most critical piece of intelligence: the Li Family’s fear of the Shadow Heir was absolute, and their next move would be lethal, not financial.I looked at her for a long moment, letting the weight of her fear settle over the room. Then I turned, leaving her there utterly ruined but alive. She deserved no more, no less. Living in terror, knowing the destruction she helped orchestrate, was the most fitting kind of punishment.I moved quickly through the dim, narrow corridor, past peeling wallpaper and the faint smell of mold, and out into the street. The city was already alive with the fallout from the Crimson Ascent collapse. News vans and flashing lights painted the buildings in red and blue, but I didn’t look. My mind was alr
Chapter 13:The Mother’s Confession
The Qin guard stationed outside the apartment door was a silent shadow, immovable, unblinking. Luo Bing had placed him there after I tracked Madame Lin down, and I didn’t even glance at him. My eyes were on the fragile figure in the armchair, the air in the room thick with fear, stale tea, and the faint metallic tang of worry.She looked up as I entered, flinching violently, teacup rattling against its saucer. “Kai,” she whispered, a wheezing sound like it came from deep within her chest. She tried to rise, shaking, but her effort faltered. “You… you shouldn’t be here. They’ll know. They’ll know you’re here.”I closed the door behind me, the click loud in the quiet room, and stood, a statue of implacable judgment. “The time for hiding is over, Madame Lin,” I said, my voice low, calm, but absolute. “Zheng Fei is arrested. Jade Health is collateral on a defaulted 2.8 billion Yuan illicit debt. Li Cong’s power play has been destroyed on the international stage. Every single disaster that
Chapter 12: The Stock Exchange Annihilation
The secure private trading floor was silent except for the rapid clicking of keyboards and the constant hum of the massive display screens flooding the room with shifting colors. The A-City Stock Exchange feed streamed across the panels like a battlefield map. I stood beside Luo Bing, watching him work. He sat before a console packed with market analysis tools, his fingers poised like a soldier holding a trigger.Thanks to Elder Qin, we were standing inside a soundproof, underground fortress—high-speed servers, encrypted lines, hardware that belonged in a central bank, not in the hands of two men preparing to crush a financial empire. But this was our battlefield. This was where the Li Family would bleed.“Li Cong’s celebratory summit is set for 10:00 AM sharp, Mr. Jiang,” Luo Bing said, adjusting his headset. His suit was clean, pressed, but the bruises on his jaw and neck from last night’s fight with those martial artists were still visible. “He’s planning a short live address—five
Chapter 11: Lin Yue’s please and Rejection
I recognized the subtle knock the moment it tapped against the secure door of the private suite. Luo Bing had arranged the location with her usual precision, choosing a neutral suite across the city where no eyes or ears could intrude. It was already past midnight, the kind of hour when only desperation or danger makes someone brave enough to request a meeting. Lin Yue had done both. She had called me ten minutes after my icy confirmation over the phone, and her voice alone told me she was unraveling. She moved now not out of ambition, but pure terrified survival.“Let her in,” I said calmly to the Qin guard stationed outside.The guard opened the door and Lin Yue stepped into the dimly lit suite. The moment she crossed the threshold, I saw immediately that this wasn’t the polished fiancée from the ballroom disaster. Her tailored suit looked slightly wrinkled, her makeup was fading around the edges, and her usual sharp confidence had collapsed into a frantic, hollow-eyed panic. She cl
