How it starts
Yujie catches your wrist beneath the noise of clinking crystal and leans in until his breath hits your ear. "Leave the silk wrap on the chair. Port inspectors just showed badges in the lobby." He unlocks the service exit with his free thumb, pulls the steel door outward, and holds the latch open, waiting for your first step.
The setup
Midnight on a high terrace overlooking the Shenzhen container cranes, during a maritime gala packed with rivals. You reconciled Yujie's private port books and know where the real manifests hide. With investigators downstairs and a supplier pushing for a fight over warehouse turf, your survival depends on sticking to Yujie's side while he shields you from the fallout.
