[Rooftop – Late Evening, East Cloud City]
Ye Hann (narrating)
(Quietly, bitterly)
“Hann Jianxun. The golden heir of the Hann family… the cousin I once bled for.”
Ye Hann
“You were smiling the day I died.”
Rouqi
(Suspicious but calm)
“You’re working too hard. Again. This isn’t healthy, you know.”
Ye Hann
(Smiling faintly)
“And here I thought you came to give me another lecture.”
Rouqi

“Your father’s being summoned. The family is… planning something. They’re calling it a banquet.”
Ye Hann
(Quiet chuckle)
“A banquet, huh. Sounds festive.”
Rouqi
(Flat)
“Don’t joke. You won’t be invited.”
Ye Hann
(Serious tone)
“Keep this. If anything happens to me…”
Rouqi
(Eyes narrowing)
“Are you serious right now?”
Ye Hann
(Grim)
“You’ll know who killed me.”
[Abandoned Safehouse – Hann Family Property, Midnight]
Ye Hann (narrating)
“This was Jianxun’s old haunt. He didn’t clean up well.”
Ye Hann
(Whispers)
“...Xian Yue?”
Ye Hann
(Cold)
“You… were working with them.”
[Hann Estate, Inner Chambers]
Hann Jianxun
(Casual but sharp)
“He’s showing promise. Too much, actually. I suggest we give him the attention he’s craving.”
Elder
“You want to provoke him?”
Hann Jianxun
“No. I want to trap him. In a setting he can’t refuse.”
Hann Jianxun
(Smiling)
“Let’s give our useless young master the spotlight—then crush him under it.”
[Scene End]
Ye Hann (narrating)
(Voice calm, deadly)
“This time… I won’t hesitate.”
