Lin Zhi's entrance into the gang was something Lei had never wanted. For years, he had done everything he could to shield his brother from the darker side of his life, but the walls were crumbling fast.
Lin Zhi had come to Lei with a determination that Lei hadn't seen before—he was desperate to make money, more than what Lei could give him.
