While Lin Yu worked day and night to collect evidence for corruption cases, the office appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were actually surging. Zhao Qiang, a colleague who usually worked alongside Lin Yu, had recently exhibited a series of unusual behaviors that quietly caught the eye of an upright colleague, Li Ming.
Li Ming had always admired Lin Yu's sense of justice and professional competence. Seeing Lin Yu encounter numerous obstacles while investigating the cases, Li Ming felt deeply puzzled and constantly felt that things were suspicious. Until one day, when he inadvertently noticed Zhao Qiang leaving the office in a rush after work, acting furtively as if deliberately trying to avoid something. Driven by curiosity and concern for Lin Yu, Li Ming decided to observe Zhao Qiang in secret.
The next day, Li Ming arrived at the office early, pretending to be busy while keeping a corner-of-the-eye watch on Zhao Qiang's every move. Zhao Qiang greeted his colleagues just like usual, wearing a seemingly harmless smile, but Li Ming acutely sensed a hint of anxiety and unease hidden in his eyes.
