Xu Xie lingered only briefly, ensuring the transfer was complete, her expression unreadable. Once satisfied, she turned back toward the waiting car, her thoughts already shifting to City B. The night was far from over, but her presence demanded swift, unflinching action.
As the engines roared to life once more, she leaned back in her seat, eyes reflecting the city lights streaking past. Each decision, each movement, every calculated step carried weight, the weight of family, of honor, and of consequence.
The car vanished into the night, swallowed by darkness, as Xu Xie prepared herself for the next chapter of this perilous journey. The city slept, unaware that its balance had already shifted. And for Xu Xie, every heartbeat was a promise: she would protect the Xu name, and no one, not even her own brothers, would endanger it again.
