Li Minghui was an ordinary young man who, amid the turmoil in northern Myanmar, stumbled into a compound controlled by a telecom fraud family. Cunning and experienced, the family used its gray-market businesses to amass its initial fortune before building a vast fraud empire. Its members each had clear roles, and it colluded with allied families, sinking ever deeper into a pit of crime. As a “piglet” who had awakened to the truth, Li Minghui resolved to expose their crimes, but the family obstructed him at every turn. With his lowly status, breaking through and destroying the empire seemed almost impossible. Meanwhile, the fraud syndicate dangled enormous profits before him, forcing him to struggle between self-interest and his convictions.
Li Minghui had weaknesses of his own, and fighting the fraud syndicate was an uphill battle. Trapped in a compound where society’s rules controlled every aspect of life, he had no freedom. As he worked to gather evidence, the family smeared him, leading outsiders to misunderstand him. Just when he finally managed to secretly gather a force, members of the syndicate pretended to help and then betrayed him, triggering a crisis of trust.
Meanwhile, the harm caused by telecom fraud continued to spread, drawing near like an existential threat. He had to strike before the damage became irreversible. In the end, with the support of a joint law-enforcement operation involving multiple countries, Li Minghui successfully destroyed the fraud empire. But some of the companions who fought alongside him were lost, leaving victory steeped in bitterness.
