Jiang Yan spent six years undercover in a drug trafficking organization as a narcotics officer. During that time, he made contact with his superiors, relayed information, and earned countless commendations. With the crackdown on drug trafficking along the border intensifying, the gang leader announced a temporary retreat to northern Myanmar to lie low. At this critical moment, when he was only a fraction of an inch away from learning the gang's fatal weak point, Jiang Yan ignored his superior's urgent recall order and took it upon himself to retreat with the gang leader. He had thought that infiltrating the inner circle would help him uncover more evidence of their crimes, allowing him to strike in one move, storm their hideout, and wipe out the whole gang. But in this lawless region where criminals ruled like kings, the most important task he was given turned out to be keeping an eye on the gang leader's beloved, whom the leader had raised for sixteen years and who still refused to obey him. 2. According to the matriarch of the village, Wen Shumian had been abducted and brought to northern Myanmar when he was two. Going by the fate of those who came before him, he might have had his hands and feet chopped off and been sent out to beg, or been forced, like the other young people in the village, to live a life with a knife at his throat. But he was born handsome and well-proportioned, and the young master who led the gang took one look at him and fell for him. So Wen Shumian became his sidekick as a child, then his beloved as he grew up. Later, when he began to rebel, he found himself watched more closely than anyone's life was guarded. 3. The first time Jiang Yan met Wen Shumian, the beauty was leaning among the flowers. When he saw Jiang Yan, his foxlike eyes narrowed slightly. His pupils were bright, his features dazzling, and his beauty beyond compare. He plucked a poisonous flower with a delicate touch, curled his thin lips, and said to Jiang Yan, "Northern Myanmar isn't a place for good people." "Crime Investigation: Lost" 1. Jiang Wenzhou first noticed Lu Huaizhi because of a gruesome dismemberment case that shocked the whole city. Thanks to increasingly advanced forensic techniques, the criminal investigation team solved the case and caught the suspect in three days. But before the interrogation could even begin, the suspect started shouting, "I'm mentally ill. I'm not legally competent, so I can't be held criminally responsible." Jiang Wenzhou: "..." What the hell was he talking about? Later, Jiang Wenzhou heard that the suspect came from a wealthy family. He had been worried that someone might exploit a loophole to evade punishment. To his surprise, when the assessment results came in, among all the professional terminology and analysis, someone had added four words in neat handwriting at the end of the report: "Not ill. Faking it!" Jiang Wenzhou was astonished, then thought, Interesting. His gaze fell on the signature line for the assessing physician, and he murmured Lu Huaizhi's name. 2. Lu Huaizhi had known Jiang Wenzhou for a long time. It had taken some effort to become his neighbor. The trouble was, Jiang Wenzhou was busy with work and often went out on calls in the middle of the night, keeping everyone awake and frazzled. Apart from Lu Huaizhi, nearly every neighbor above and below him had lodged a complaint. Back then, though, the crime-obsessed team captain had eyes for nothing but his cases and barely noticed Lu Huaizhi. Who knew when he had started taking an interest in him? Just as Lu Huaizhi was sticking to his professional principles, offending people and facing relentless retaliation, threats, and intimidation, with no peace to be had, his handsome neighbor across the hall finally couldn't hold back. He knocked on the door and said, "If you're really scared, why not move in with me?" Lu Huaizhi remained unruffled: "..." He glanced down at the fourth mysterious package he'd received that month, then looked at Jiang Wenzhou. Only then did he let go of his composure and put on a frightened look. His voice, however, remained calm and steady as he said, "Ah, I'm so scared." (P.S. In a high-level hunt, the true hunter often appears to be the prey.)
