On a stormy night, Qin Feng took in Ling Shuang, who had collapsed outside the Evening Breeze Café. He used to be a “human police database,” able to spot a lie with a single glance. Now, all he wanted was to disappear under an assumed name. But there was something off about the waitress: her combat instincts were astonishing, and she murmured encrypted sequences in her sleep. When a killer showed up disguised as a repairman, Qin Feng saw through him instantly. And the truth behind a string of murders led to the unsolved case that had forced him to retire five years ago.
Ling Shuang was the Hive’s most wanted runaway agent, while Qin Feng’s past was also tangled up in a conspiracy. From outsmarting a double to raiding a stronghold at night, he unraveled mysteries by reading microexpressions, while she took down enemies with her fighting skills. When his partner’s dying words pointed to the mystery of the Evening Breeze, Qin Feng’s golden finger awakened, unlocking a mode that could simulate events for one hundred seconds. “It’s our turn to act.” Thus began a covert battle for truth and redemption.
