Overview
A homicide, a massive outstanding debt, a short-selling scheme - it all stems from a seemingly unremarkable yet highly suspicious theft. Jing Youzheng, a police officer nearing retirement, senses something amiss; as the investigation deepens, every clue points toward Bian Juhan, Chairman of the Mingdian Group. The veteran officer relentlessly pursues the case and takes the offensive, while Chairman Bian launches a counterattack. What is the actual truth? Amidst this clash between good and evil, what kind of high-stakes drama will unfold between these two adversaries?
