Fusuili

In Fushuili, the French Concession of old Shanghai, a hundred-meter-long alley hides the everyday bustle of life, along with the cruelest scams. Xu Mingde, once a trusted strategist to Huang Jinrong, went into hiding and became a police detective after being betrayed by his sworn brother. Every day, he takes it easy, shops for groceries, and keeps his mother company, wanting nothing more than a peaceful life. But employment scams and love-letter traps keep finding him, and even the alley’s neighbors are drawn into the turmoil. There are no hailstorms of bullets here, only streetwise smarts pitted against crafty schemes.
