The fireworks and prosperity of Jincheng have always been superficial illusions. Under the ground of this city, there is a dark root that has been dormant for decades.
The Thirteenth Division hides in the middle of the city, quietly controlling the lifeblood of all walks of life in the city, and has its own set of underground rules that no one dares to violate. For decades, countless people tried to pry into the truth, but in the end they were all swallowed up silently. They came and went without a trace, leaving not even the slightest clue.
Gratitudes in the world can still be settled, but the backlash of fate has always been endless and endless.
Police officer Lin Yueming was determined to track down the smuggling scandal of the Thirteenth Division, determined to tear apart this layer of darkness, and finally died mysteriously. The case was hastily sealed and became an old scar in Jincheng that was kept secret. The director of the orphanage came into contact with the other party's bottom line due to land acquisition. Since then, he has disappeared from the world, with no evidence of life or death, and his whereabouts are a mystery.
These two unsolved cases are not unsolvable, but no one dares to solve them. From then on, the shackles in the dark world had been tightly wrapped around the young Mu Yi.
Mu Yi has been undercover for many years, stuck in the mud all year round, and his steps are like walking on thin ice.
The defensive barriers of the Thirteenth Division are airtight, and ordinary explorations are always fruitless and cannot find any flaws. In desperation, he put all his bottom line on the line and laid out a huge lie in an attempt to lock the only hidden line of finance and pry open the layers of darkness.
But the world has never known that the secret situation is the most ruthless and is never controlled by others. With a single thought, the outcome is not decided, but the price comes first. Before he could shake the darkness at all, his closest brother was involved in a car accident for no apparent reason and became the first victim of the backlash of this chess game.
No one is willing to indulge in darkness, but some people's fate is forcibly nailed to death at a young age.
An unrecorded and inconclusive special operation many years ago trapped a group of ignorant children. No one knows what secrets were hidden in that action. They only know that since then, everyone has suffered from hidden wounds that are difficult to heal.
The character of mind is rewritten and destiny is bound. They struggled to grow up in the shadows and mud, and what they sought was never fame, wealth or glory, but just wanted to peel back the layers of dust and see clearly how much unknown nastiness was hidden in the darkness that had trapped them for half their lives.
Time is good at hiding the truth, and at some opportunity, the secret will eventually come out.
After years of going around step by step and tracing the source layer by layer, Mu Yi finally found clues and uncovered the real culprit in the disappearance of the orphanage director. But if you peel back a layer of dust and darkness, there is a deeper and muddier mystery underneath.
The secrets that the Thirteenth Division had hidden for half their lives were completely exposed, and the whole story of a feud that spanned a century and entangled the Bai family and the Thirteenth Division was slowly revealed. The evil that the world sees is just the tip of the iceberg. The real entanglements have already been soaked in the bones and blood of two generations and are deeply rooted.
As the chess game comes to an end, all the old grievances are boiling over, and the game of light and darkness reaches an impasse.
Mu Yi fought bloody battles, was seriously injured, and his life hung on a thread. Life and death were uncertain. The villains on the surface emerged one by one, and all the trivial crimes were exposed, but this dark situation that has lasted for hundreds of years has never really ended.
The visible black hand is already there, but the core source hidden in the deepest part of the fog is still unseen and unexplored. The dark roots under Jincheng have not been eradicated, and the backlash of fate will never end. No one who steps into this game of chess can escape intact.
Intention: Light is obtained by many "night walkers" silently striving for it.
