Part 5/9:
As the narrative propels forward, we fast forward thirteen years into the future, where a writer named Rick publishes a book inspired by Lin’s deadly past titled Bleeding Steel. This act of creation unwittingly stirs a dormant tie to the hero’s family, drawing nefarious characters back into their lives. Li-sen, a hacker, poses as a woman who sedates Rick to retrieve information related to his book—a mirror of lies and past encounters entangling our key players once again.
Rick’s demise at the hands of Andre’s men sets off a chain reaction that reveals Lin’s true identity to the antagonists. With Li-sen and others now embroiled in the unfolding plot, the stage is set for confrontation not only against the backdrop of crime but against the shadows of history that each character carries.
