The cold stares from the courtroom, Qi Tongwei's final gunshot, the bone-deep chill on the execution grounds... Gao Yuliang awoke in a cold sweat, carrying all the memories of his previous life, only to find himself back at the turning point of his fate: the night Ding Yizhen fled.
In his previous life, Ding Yizhen's successful escape was the first thunderclap of the coming storm, and the beginning of Gao Yuliang's total defeat. This time, he would never let history repeat itself. Barefoot, he stepped onto the cold floor and felt his way through the darkness to an old mobile phone that had never been registered. With it, he activated a covert piece that even Zhao Lichun had forgotten, buried in the discipline inspection system for twenty years.
“Stop Ding Yizhen.” With those words, in the dead of night when no one knew, he quietly set the needle of Handong Province's fate in motion.
