Awakening in the White Night

After "The Breaking of Dawn", younger brother Guan Hongyu takes on his elder brother Guan Hongfeng’s identity and helps the police solve cases. Drawing on his personal growth and experience, he gradually finds his footing in the force as he handles all kinds of cases and workplace relationships, while staying constantly on guard against the risk of having his identity exposed.

Guan Hongfeng, however, is not truly dead. With Han Bin’s help, he escaped and now lives in the shadows, using his intelligence and experience to investigate vital clues and secrets behind the scenes. He secretly keeps an eye on his younger brother’s every move in the force, offering support and assistance when needed.

As they search for the truth, the brothers face numerous new challenges and crises. For one thing, the truth behind the “February 13 Wu Zheng Family Massacre” remains only partly uncovered. The schemes of criminal forces and the powerful protectors behind them are still in play, and they keep creating trouble and obstacles in an attempt to stop the Guan brothers’ investigation. For another, new uncertainties have arisen within the police force. Forensic examiner Gao Junran’s stance is unclear, and he has already discovered the secret that the brothers have switched identities. Whether he will prove friend or foe remains uncertain, adding further complications to their plans.

As the investigation deepens, the brothers uncover new clues and encounter new figures. These discoveries bring them closer to the truth behind the massacre, but also draw them into even greater danger. Along the way, their characters and convictions are tested and tempered, and the bond between them grows stronger through every crisis and challenge. Together, they resolve to awaken amid the layers of deception, reveal the truth once and for all, and clear their names and those of the victims.
