Author's POV:
Huang Jiang sat in his study, a glass of baijiu in his hand, staring out at the expansive garden outside. The leaves were starting to change color, signaling the approach of autumn, a time of transition. Much like the events in his own family's life. His granddaughter, Huang Yanyan, had survived a kidnapping, the latest in a string of conflicts that had tested their family's resilience and power. But she had emerged stronger, more determined, and more like him than she realized.
Still, there were undercurrents of unease swirling beneath the surface. Huang Jiang wasn't one to be easily rattled, but he knew the kidnapping had been just the beginning. There were bigger threats looming. He could feel them, like dark clouds gathering on the horizon, and it was only a matter of time before they erupted into a storm.
