“Officer Huang, we agreed on three years. Then another three years, and another three years. It’s been almost ten years already. I’m done being an undercover cop!” After throwing those words over his shoulder on the rooftop, Chen Yongren walks away without looking back, already plotting how to leave the gang. But who could have guessed that a plastic bag drifting by on his way back would smother him unconscious? When he opens his eyes again, the Truth-Telling System is already bound to him!
From that moment, the Hong Kong underworld’s undercover scene is turned upside down. When gang bosses plot to rob one another, he blurts out, “The cops already have their eyes on the goods you hid.” When his contact tries to placate him, he hits the sore spot: “You never even filed my request to get out.” Even the mole inside the police force gets exposed by a single honest remark.
The System forces him to tell the truth, leaving Chen Yongren no choice but to “run around naked” and cause trouble. He originally wanted to keep his head down and make a quiet escape, but one blunt truth after another tears the lid off the whole operation, making gang members panic and senior police officers lose sleep. The hidden undercover cops are pushed to the brink: “Why isn’t this undercover agent following the rules? If he keeps talking, we’re all going to be exposed!”
The most panicked undercover cop meets the most unyielding Truth-Telling System. See how Chen Yongren dances on the edge of a knife, using the truth as a weapon to turn the tables on everyone and transform an undercover career he wanted to quit into a legendary peak that terrifies both sides of the law!
