Xu Xian had been tracking the Hua family's movements for days. One cool, misty evening, she finally saw her chance. In a narrow alley in cangran, as the Hua eldest son was slipping through a side gate, Xu Xian struck swiftly. With practiced precision, she subdued him before he even had time to react. In one fluid motion, she bound his arms and legs, and before anyone could notice, she spirited him away to one of cangran's secret prisons—a dark, hidden cell known only to a few trusted insiders.
