After five years of unjust imprisonment, Jiang Yanqiu dropped a new piece of evidence at the retirement banquet of former judge Chen Chongming on the day he was released from prison. She once devoted herself to the system, but now she just wants to use his golden rice bowl to fill the blood of the truth.
