Synopsis
On a rainy night in Sham Shui Po, 19-year-old gangster Yan Ran grabbed goods he shouldn't have. The owner of the cargo is Yan Cheng, 36 years old, the helmsman of a business empire, and a man of both black and white. He could have killed him, but he only said one sentence: "Take him back and lock him up." Yan Ran was imprisoned in a mountainside villa, like a disobedient wild cat. Yan Cheng stood behind the surveillance camera and watched him smashing things, going on a hunger strike, and cursing people, and remained calm. He thought this was just a taming game - using money, power, and absolute control to smooth out this wild cat. Until that rainy night, Yan Cheng was drugged during a party, and the first call he made was Yan Ran. Yan Ran came over soaked and stayed with him all night. When Yan Cheng woke up, what he saw was not a man trying to escape, but a man who was swearing but never let go of his hands. From that day on, everything changed. Yan Cheng began to really "support" him - giving him the company, the car, and the black card. Yan Ran started to really "go back" home - every day. They signed a "not to talk about love" agreement, but in every corner of that villa, they talked about love to deafening proportions. Yan Cheng bought an island and named it "Wangran Island", and wanted to take Yan Ran there to retire. Yan Ran cursed "Who wants to go to a desert island with you", but secretly checked the flight. Then, the collapse came unexpectedly. Yan Cheng was framed and imprisoned by his uncle for crimes related to crime, and the evidence was conclusive. The last text message he left for Yan Ran was: "Leave, don't look for me." Yan Ran didn't believe it. It took him 18 months to transform from a gangster who only knew how to fight to a businessman, a detective and a madman. He was looking for evidence outside, while Yan Cheng was inside delivering clues. Together with internal and external efforts, the verdict was finally overturned. On the day Yan Cheng was acquitted, Yan Ran drove to pick him up. The car stopped at the gate of the prison, and the two men were separated by "a fist's distance." Yan Ran said: "Have you lost weight?" Yan Cheng didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and took his. Later, they returned to their villa in Taipingshan. The cat is still there, the porridge is still there, the sweet and sour pork ribs are still there. Yan Cheng bought a pair of rings with "YR" engraved on the inner wall. Yan Ran scolded him and said, "You are infringing on the right of name", but he put the ring on the island and never took it off again. Many years later, someone photographed Yan Cheng and Yan Ran having a late-night snack at a food stall in Sham Shui Po. Yan Cheng was wearing a custom-made suit and sitting on a plastic stool. Opposite him was a young man in a sweatshirt. The young man picked two wontons from his bowl and put them into Yan Cheng's bowl. What he said was: "If you can't finish it, help me eat it." Yan Cheng said nothing. He lowered his head and swallowed the two clouds. That was the sweetest wonton he had ever eaten in his life. ——Because that person's name is Yan Ran. Intention: "The gangster in Sham Shui Po stole goods that he shouldn't have. The powerful people in Central locked him up instead of killing him. He was locked up and locked up, and he got himself involved."
