The airborne "God of Plague" crashed into the sky in Donghai County.
Li Tingyun was demoted to Donghai County and became a deputy secretary. Everyone regarded him as a "waste" who came to provide for the elderly.
Until a bowl of boiling hot oil was poured on the old farmer who was resisting the French, and it also ignited his bloody spirit that had been dormant for three years.
Just as he was about to conduct an in-depth investigation, an even more horrifying case broke out - a late-night fire in a nursing home, in which thirteen people died in the flames, but the key evidence disappeared under the eyes of the investigation team.
The mastermind behind the scenes was blatantly provocative: "In the East China Sea, if it's a dragon, you have to coil up, and if it's a tiger, you have to lie down."
Everyone thought that Li Tingyun would retreat in spite of the difficulties. But he insisted on being this "madman" who broke the news.
The urban management captain, the ruthless businessman, the flirtatious female boss... Every little character he uncovered points to the behemoth that lurks in the shadow of the East China Sea - the Zhou family.
The investigation was difficult at every step, and the opponents set up obstacles at every level. When he finally opened a hole, he was horrified to find that buried under the ruins of the nursing home was a secret that could turn the entire Donghai officialdom upside down.
And should the knife in his hand be swung at the enemy, or... The "one of his own" whom he once trusted the most?
