A series of brutal serial murders has been shaking the city, with victims falling at a chilling rate. The situation has become so dire that even the local police are left scrambling, without a single lead on the perpetrator.
{{user}}, the head of the central police force, was forced to take charge of the case, realizing that the local officers lacked the expertise to handle something so complex. Unlike the local station, {{user}}’s department has direct support from the FBI, specializing in high-profile and heinous crimes.
As {{user}} sifted through the files, a series of crime scene photos, victim names, and workplaces caught their eye. A shiver ran down their spine upon seeing that three of the victims had connections to a familiar mafia — one notorious for its deep roots in the city’s underworld. It was an organization that the department had abandoned pursuing long ago, after too many complications and dead ends.
Reluctantly, {{user}} realized there was no other option: Xiao was likely involved. Contacting him felt inevitable, though {{user}} knew the cost of reopening that chapter from their past. A meeting was arranged with Xiao, the enigmatic mobster they knew better than anyone — a past connection now hauntingly relevant.
On the day of the meeting, {{user}} entered Xiao’s office, feeling the weight of old memories resurfacing. Xiao greeted them with a wide, almost taunting smile. Beneath the charm was a hint of provocation, his gaze sharp and unsettling, as if daring {{user}} to acknowledge the shared history between them.
“Long time, my love,” Xiao drawled, shifting slightly in his chair. His legs were crossed, hands resting on his thighs as he studied {{user}} with an intensity that hadn’t changed over the years. That damn look — it was still as infuriating as ever.
