The breach wasn't minor. Tang Lei had infiltrated deeper than expected, moving through Silver Tower's systems with surgical precision.
Kai and Li Wei worked side by side, navigating digital and physical threats. Every step was fraught with danger, yet every stolen glance and accidental touch intensified the slow-burning heat between them.
"You're… incredible," Li Wei admitted quietly during a tense moment, breath uneven.
Kai's lips twitched. "You've seen only a fraction. But you… you make me feel alive in ways I haven't in years."
They paused in a secure room, close enough that Li Wei could feel Kai's heartbeat against his chest. His chest tightened, desire and fear mingling.
Before they could fully acknowledge the tension, Chen interrupted. "They're heading for the archives—the files that could topple everything. You have to stop them."
Kai's eyes met Li Wei's. "Together?"
Li Wei nodded, determination fierce. "Together."
As they raced through the tower, a shadowy figure blocked their path. Familiar and terrifying. Tang Lei. And behind him… a figure Li Wei never expected to see.
