Li Jian, the adopted son of a powerful crime boss, suddenly finds himself trapped in an abandoned cemetery—his captor, Min Zhao, the son of a notorious killer.
“You want ransom money? Just call my wife—she’ll pay whatever price you name.”
Min Zhao’s lips curl into a smirk. “To the world, you’re already dead. No one’s coming for you. That means I can do whatever I want.”
Li Jian seizes the moment, striking Min Zhao where he’s wounded. A sharp intake of breath, a flicker of pain—but Min Zhao recovers quickly, retaliating with a stinging slap across Li Jian’s face.
“You really despise me that much? I saved your life, and this is how you repay me?”
Li Jian glares. “You expect me to be grateful? You’re insane!”
Min Zhao exhales slowly, his voice steady. “Hate me all you want. It doesn’t change anything. You’re not leaving… because here, at least, you’re safe.”
