The Black King

One week earlier.

When An Ye and An Junhan were still enjoying their carefree college days, their parents suddenly called from England and ordered them to come back. An Ye thought about pretending to be sick, while An Junhan considered pretending to be insane. Unfortunately, there was no escaping it this time: their parents came to collect them in person. Seeing their parents' suspiciously pleased smiles, the two An boys huddled together.

"Did you miss us, sweetheart?"

The two An boys looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Of course we did." They'd missed them so much they couldn't forget them, even if they wanted to.

"We missed you too. By the way, I'd like you to take care of something in Heifeng City. You wouldn't refuse, would you?"

The two An boys shuddered and gazed at them pitifully. No, no, no!

Mrs. An planted a hearty kiss on each of the two boys' cheeks. "Such good boys! So you really want to go. You're much better than your big brother. Secretary Zhang, get the two young masters' tickets and luggage ready for Heifeng City right away. They'll leave in an hour."

The two An boys stared at her, dumbfounded.

An Ye asked in a trembling voice, "What are we going there to do?"

Mrs. An winked at him mysteriously. "Take care of something important."

Mr. An watched the two boys slowly turn to stone, then cheerfully added, "Something even bigger than murder and arson."

Waaah, so it was true that they weren't their real children, and their parents didn't love them! The two of them had been adopted from an orphanage. If they'd known they'd be walking into a tiger's den and suffering for the rest of their lives, they would have run the moment they first saw their parents, fled if they saw them coming, and hidden at the sight of their shadows. In short, it was either them or us!

One wrong step, and every step after that was another mistake.
