"Jinyan Lu," one of the men said, his voice distorted by the mask. "Madam Lu is waiting for her property. Both of them."

Jinyan stepped in front of Panni, his jaw set in a line of iron. "She’s not property. And we aren't going back."

"You don't understand, Jinyan," Sissy said, her voice sounding older, more detached. "Grandmother didn't burn the house to kill us. She burned it to bring us all to the same place. The 'Trinity' was a mistake. She wants the 'Quartet' now. A full set for the new empire."

"Run, Panni," Jinyan whispered, his hand reaching for a heavy iron pipe leaning against the wall.

"I'm not leaving you!"

    …continuationThe Choice in the Dark"Annie, now!" Jinyan shouted into his comms.The lab’s lights flickered. A high-pitched siren began to wail."I’ve breached the cooling system!" Annie’s voice crackled. "Jinyan, the pods are going into an emergency lockdown! You have three minutes before the backup security team arrives!"Jinyan pulled a compact submachine gun from beneath his silk shirt. Panni drew the tactical knife she had hidden in her thigh holster."We’re not staying, Vira," Jinyan said, his voice a low growl. "And we’re not letting these children become your 'software.'"V

  • TIME TO FALL IN LOVE   Chapter 115: The Neon Labyrinth of Pattaya (Part 1)

    [The Neon Labyrinth of Pattaya]The transition from the cold, rain-slicked stones of London to the sweltering, neon-soaked heat of Pattaya was a shock to the system. Here, the air was a thick, humid blanket scented with jasmine, diesel fumes, and the spicy tang of street food. In the Gulf of Thailand, the water didn't churn with Atlantic fury; it sat still and dark, reflecting the kaleidoscope of the city’s skyline like a black mirror.Panni stood on the balcony of a high-rise safehouse overlooking Walking Street. Below, the city was a throbbing vein of light—a chaos of tourists, motorbikes, and the relentless pulse of electronic music. She adjusted the strap of her linen dress, her eyes scanning the rooftops. Beside her, Grace was coloring in a book, seemingly oblivious to the fact that she was the mo

    …continuation"This ring is the only key to the trust," Jinyan continued, his eyes locked on Eleanor. "But I’ve already sent the override command to the IMF. If my biometric signature doesn't check in with the server in the next thirty seconds, the Lu-Sheng assets don't move to London. They don't move at all. They get donated to a global anti-corruption fund. You’ll be the heirs to a pile of empty bank accounts and a mountain of lawsuits!"Eleanor’s composure finally broke. "You're bluffing! You’d never leave yourself penniless!""I’ve lived in a cottage in the woods for six months, Eleanor! I don't care about the money! I care about my daughter!" Jinyan stepped forward, one foot in front of the other, closing the distance between him and the girl. "Let her go. Let her walk to the van. The mo

    [The Solomon Delimma]The rain over the River Thames had turned into a torrential downpour, blurring the London skyline into a smudge of charcoal and slate. The black van sat idling on the slick asphalt of Waterloo Bridge, trapped between a phalanx of armored SUVs and the weight of a revelation that threatened to crush the air out of Jinyan’s lungs.Across the wet pavement, framed by the harsh, white glare of headlights, stood Lady Eleanor Vincent. She looked every bit the matriarch of the "Second Family"—regal, cold, and entirely unmoved by the storm. Beside her stood the small girl, Grace, her yellow raincoat a jarring splash of color against the grey world."Jinyan, look at her," Panni whispered, her forehead pressed against the van’s reinforced glass. Her breath fogged the window, but she couldn't look away. "The ey

    …continuationThe Confrontation: The Two KingsThe hallway went silent, the muffled music of the gala downstairs feeling like a heartbeat in another body. Arthur looked from Jinyan to Panni, the realization finally dawning on him."The Panni girl," Arthur whispered, a dark laugh bubbling in his throat. "So, the rumors were true. The Architect’s greatest tragedy. The sister who loved her brother. Tell me, Jinyan... does it feel different now that you know? Does the touch burn?"Jinyan’s jaw tightened, but he didn't move. "We aren't here for the blood, Arthur. We’re here for the ring. The assets stay in the East. They belong to the people the Foundation served, not to a London trust that funds your polo matches.""You think you can jus

  • TIME TO FALL IN LOVE   Chapter 111: The Golded Cage of Mayfair (Part 1)

    [The Gilded Cage of Mayfair]London in January was a city of grey silk and wet cobblestones, a place where the shadows weren't cast by mountains, but by centuries of inherited power. Here, the air didn't smell of pine and gunpowder; it smelled of expensive tea, damp wool, and the cold, metallic scent of old money.Panni stood at the window of a discreet flat in Chelsea, watching the black cabs hiss through the rain. She was no longer wearing the silver silk of the Carpathians. She wore a tailored navy suit and a pair of spectacles—a costume designed to make her look like an anonymous wealth manager. But beneath the fabric, the scar on her shoulder throbbed, a phantom ache that reminded her she was a ghost in a city of predators."The invitation arrived," Jinyan said, stepping into the room.
