On the seventh day of September in the year 528 of the Kapok Kingdom, the selection of the top ten stores came to an end, and the nameless department store topped the list. Meng Sanxi, Yan Sifang, and Ye Wuzhi saw their "old friends" at the celebration - people who should have disappeared but suddenly appeared.
Before the joy dissipated, an order from the new city lord broke the apparent calm of Muyun City: the robbery of the Li family caravan five years ago will be re-examined, and all relevant personnel must cooperate with the investigation.
Everyone in the four major families is in danger. Ji Mingzhao's eldest brother Ji Da died in the case, and Dai Menghui's eldest brother Dai Mengjue also died on the same day. Liang Nianyu, the fifth son of the Liang family, was framed and drifted to the rivers and lakes to die tragically. Liu Yunxiao, the eldest son of the Liu family, burned down a building on the fourth day after the incident. The sixteen people burned to death in that building were the murderers pretending to be bandits.
When all the clues began to point to the same point in time, and when everyone's secrets had nowhere to hide, Meng Sanxi, Yan Sifang, and Ye Wuzhi discovered that the truth they were pursuing was actually different aspects of the same thing.
And this time, they have to face not only enemies, but also the trust between each other that is about to collapse - because the truth may hurt more than hatred.
