As the dust settled around the ravaged building, two men found themselves caught in a web of fate: Harvey, a ruthless gang leader, and Karl, a lethal hitman. The explosion had left Karl severely injured, while Harvey nursed a peculiar wound that defied explanation. Little did Harvey know, his would-be assassin was posing as a hospital staff member just a few steps away. It was only when he learned that his injury might not have been the result of flying debris, but rather a stray bullet with “Karl” inscribed on its casing, that Harvey’s fury ignited. The flames of vengeance blazed within him, compelling him to hunt down Karl for retribution.
In parallel, Mi Lan’s brother faced the aftermath of a crushing defeat at the box office, as his film bombed spectacularly. With significant investments at stake, Harvey’s agitation escalated with each lost dollar. His frustration reached a boiling point when he threatened the distraught director, leaving the man shaken, yet resilient. Amidst this chaos, a seemingly harmless balloon suddenly popped, triggering Harvey’s instincts. He immediately fell into a state of paranoia, convinced that Karl was lurking nearby.
Taking advantage of Harvey’s moment of vulnerability, Mi Lan manipulatively planted seeds of doubt in his mind. “I know Karl,” she tantalizingly suggested, her tone rich with familiarity. Her tantalizing offer to bring Karl to Harvey proved too tempting for him to ignore, ultimately ensnaring the unsuspecting amateur actor, Wei Chenggong, into this perilous game of deceit. Oblivious to the real dangers ahead, Wei believed that Mi Lan’s “hitman” scheme was merely a facet of a film production, entirely unaware of the deadly stakes involved.
