[The following story is a work of fiction
adapted from the video game "Art of War".]

The team Bullets' mission is

to escort the state's evidence,
Qingge, to court.

The decoy for Qingge and Bullets
will take the escort vehicle

that will be guarded
at the front and back

by the NIA agents.
[♪National Intelligence Agency]

The real Qingge will take
an ordinary car

at the back of the convoy.

We are almost there.

One state,

two presidents.

A sentence we are all familiar with.

This is Bruno. He controls
the government officials.

Cheers.

Cheers.

He kills,

he rapes,

he makes and sells drugs.

He has 483 counts
of prosecution charges,

but he is prosecuted for none of them.

That's why he is known
as The Underground President.

You called for an emergency meeting.

I suppose that there is a solution.

Qingge, the drug maker in-chief
agreed to turn state's evidence

and testify against Bruno in court.

Where is she now?

We are safeguarding her at the moment.

She wouldn't be able to escape
even if Bruno had

extraordinary means.

Deputy Chief!

Deputy Chief.

Bruno's men have figured out
Qingge's whereabouts.

What?

Team B, hold down the perimeters.

Team A, protect Qingge
and get her to the safe house.

How did Bruno find out
about Qingge's whereabouts?

I have no idea.

All I know is that Bruno offered
10 million dollars as a reward.

Ten million dollars?

How is the situation with Qingge?

Not looking good.

Before I was here,

more than ten groups of thugs
had arrived.

We must keep Qingge safe.

Otherwise, we will lose the opportunity
to prosecute Bruno.

The enemy is advancing
through the breach in the west.

Hold the line.

Sir, we have been ambushed!

Quick, restore the signal.

Many top assassins are here now,

so we might lose Qingge to them.

We might not.

There's still Alex.

Alex?

Why does he look so cool
when he shows up?

Who... Who are you?

Xiu?

I am sorry.

I forgot to give your phone back to you.

She says you and she

are not suited for each other.

Bro...

Qingge is upstairs.

We need to get there before him.

It's just a sedative.

You don't have to sacrifice your lives.

Let me say something.

The reinforcement from NIA
will be here any moment.

Are we going to continue
fighting separately like this

and let the NIA benefit from this,

or are we going to kill Qingge
and split the rewards?

Do we share the same phone model?

That must be yours, then.

Cheer up.

Look at the dark circles
under your eyes.

Consider the bigger picture.

I...

Bro, speed up.

The reinforcement from NIA
is almost here.

Did you want to do this alone?

That's stupid.

We are all taken down now.

What an airhead.

Prepare to stand down.

[Art of War]

Tell the public

that Qingge has been killed
in a fight with the assassins

so that Bruno would stay calm.

Yes, sir.

Deputy Chief,

why are we here?

To meet the real Qingge.

The real Qingge?

Have you heard of "The Rose"?

Thank you all for the hard work.

"The Lunatic" Bibi.

"The Hotshot" Blake.

"The Mastermind" Alex.

Deputy Chief, they...

They are the elite secret agents
of our agency.

They make up the Bullets who carry out
high-risk special operations.

Only the Chief and I know of
their true identities.

Therefore, when you see them outside,

treat them as Class A fugitives.

Yes, sir.

I understand it now.

This is a double bluff.

You knew that Bruno would be
offering a reward.

But you...

I just knocked them out.

Killing two birds with one stone.

While Bruno is kept calm,

we can have a clean sweep
on arresting all the wanted criminals.

We suffered quite a loss though.

Many of our comrades fell.

Don't blame yourself.

The moment they became
a law enforcer,

they were prepared
to sacrifice themselves at any moment.

So are we.

Your shoulder is bothering you again?

Let's get down to business.

What are the arrangements
for Qingge's escort?

Take a look at this.

We have leaked fake intel

to Bruno's drug syndicate,

yet we should still prepare

for all contingencies.

We'll have Collier
continue her disguise as Qingge.

According to the information Bruno has,

I believe they would find out
that Qingge's death is fake.

He will take further action

to prevent Qingge
from going to court.

There is a great possibility

that we will be intercepted
on our way to court.

The Bullets
will be in the escort vehicle.

We will go forward
starting from this position.

We will need the NIA to send in a team
to guard us in the front and back.

Liu Binbin,

you will be fetching Qingge

with an ordinary car
following the back of the convoy.

Anything else?

That's all.

Got it.

That's all?

That simple?

If nothing goes wrong,

we will straightaway get to the court.

No one would have thought

that an important witness
such as Qingge

will hide in an ordinary car.

I am still worried.

Let me escort Qingge instead.

Alright.

Are you sure

that your plan is flawless?

There is a flaw.

What is the most important part
of a plan?

You have to stick to the plan.

You didn't even notify me
before you broke the ropes.

Given your weight,

when breaking through walls
that are 25 cm and below,

from the moment the wall shatters,

you had a three-second buffer

before standing up and posing.

That's right!

Mine is a limited-edition cigar.

That will be under your tab.

You do agree with me, right?

I wouldn't shamelessly
smoke on my cigar

while my men are fighting other people.

As our team lead,
that isn't how you should do things.

Hey,

how could you say that?

It's such a taboo for you to say that.

Maybe you should be the team lead.

Sure.

I know how to make plans too.

The plan was pretty much like
what I had in mind.

I am not repeating myself.

Let's get to it.

We are almost there.

Meth is a new type of drug.

It's mainly made up of
methylamphetamine, C10H5N,

which is made from ephedrine alkaloids
extracted from the ephedra herb.

It's also known as deoxyephedrine.

That is all that I have memorized.

Alex,

the courthouse is after this bridge,
right?

You can take it off if you want.

If I continue putting in effort,

I will become a drug-making expert.

I think Tang Ying is a good name,

but you had to give him an English name.

That's because our son is capable.
He has a bright future ahead of him.

I don't want others
to assume him of nepotism.

That should be reasonable.

Does he have a bright future ahead?

He could choose to be
any kind of police officer,

yet he had to be an undercover agent.

Mom.

You chose to be an undercover agent.

Your mom wouldn't be able to see
much of you in the future.

Dad,

this is the final round.

Don't die in this round.

You cheeky brat.

It's too early to tell still.

Let's go.

Get going, Dad.

Salute!

Fire!

Alex.

I am the head of the NIA's
internal investigation committee,

Xu Hao.

The death of Deputy Chief Tang Ning

is suspected

to be connected to the Bullets.

Please cooperate with our investigation.

Alex is Deputy Chief Tang's son!

His son!

Do you know of any son
who would murder his father?

I don't.

However, in the police academy,

I have read case files like this before.

A man with a twisted personality

would be able to do just about anything.

Alex was the one
who made the escort plan.

Only you,

the Bullets,

the deceased Deputy Chief Tang,

and Qingge, seven of you knew about it.

There is an extra 10 million dollars

in the hidden accounts of the Bullets.

It all came from the companies of
Bruno's holdings.

How would you explain this?

How would I explain this?

They are being framed.

Why didn't they frame you, then?

They were protecting me as the mole.

The Bullets

will be made scapegoats.

Binbin,

I know you well.

As the old saying goes,

you can't even shut a window properly,

how would you be able
to achieve anything great?

You're a mole?

Stop kidding me.

You've been working
under Deputy Chief Tang for many years,

I can understand that you want to

protect his son.

However, we are law enforcers.

We solve cases with proof of evidence.

This is the evidence.

Bruno's plan to exterminate Qingge
has been accomplished.

There was no need to overdo things
and set them up.

Also, listen to this.

I found out that Alex is adopted.
He is not Deputy Chief Tang's

biological son.

According to the findings of

NIA's internal investigation committee,

the member of the Bullets,

Alex,

Bibi,

Collier,

and Blake

were found guilty of
collusion with drug lords

and intentional murder
of NIA's Deputy Chief Tang Ning

with conclusive evidence.

The four are hereby sentenced to

death penalty

which is executed seven days from now.

Don't touch me!

Alex!

Are you waiting to die?

Get lost!

Go away!

Let go of me!

Alex!

Let go of me!

Dad,

Mom,

should I give up?

Mom,

Happy Birthday.

So bold of you to come back like this,

it'll cause trouble for you
and the bureau.

Don't ever do that again.

That's enough.

Your wishes are received.

Go back.

Be professional.

Ying.

Take good care of yourself.

Don't blame me.

The farewell bid now

is so that we can be together
as a family

in the future.

You're brilliant, boss!

You've played your role well.

We even got rid of Tang Ning,
the thorn in our side,

what else
are you still worried about, boss?

The Bullets.

They are all in prison now.

Seven days.

They will all be dead in seven days.

Given their capabilities, I'm afraid...

You don't know what prison is like.

Once you're in,
you're never getting out.

It is impossible for them to escape.

There are dog collars

on their necks.

It is an electronic device

with a built-in pressure sensor,

photoelectric pulse sensor, GPS
and a high-voltage impulse generator.

If the inmate's emotions
and actions exceed normal values,

it will automatically trigger an alarm.

The collar will emit
a high-voltage electric current.

Escaping aside,

the inmates can't even start a fight.

So life inside the prison

is pretty harmonious, huh?

Alex is "The Mastermind".

Harmonious is an understatement.

No matter how he tries to strategize,

he won't be able
to escape from his collar.

On top of that,

because of Tang Ning's death,

he is destroyed now.

He is completely destroyed.

You're no longer
seeking revenge for your father?

When you saved me
three years ago, you said,

the Bullets

will live and die together.

Three days left.

There are three days...

You have no integrity at all.

As long as we have one lead,

we would be able to unravel
the whole mystery.

A lead.

We have leaked fake intel

to Bruno's drug syndicate.

But we should still prepare
for all contingencies.

Let me escort Qingge, then.

Alright.

The whole mystery.

About you and Alex...

Being anti-sugar
is not the same as quitting sugar.

It helps to boost our mood
and relieve fatigue.

I have tried my best.

Our team lead is useless now.

What happened to him?

He wouldn't even
avenge his father's death.

We won't be able to escape now.

If I had known,

I would've escaped the car
that we came in with.

What's the point of saying all these?

Given the chance again,

I don't think
you would be able to do it.

Exactly.

It's not easy to escape
from the vehicle we came in.

We can't just abandon him, no?

The Bullets are a team
that sticks together.

The Bullets are a pile of rubbish.

What nonsense are you talking about?

These few days,

I have thought one thing through.

From today onward,

the Bullets are dismissed.

I am tired.

What did you say?

Why?

Your brain is no good.
So are your ears now?

I said the Bullets
are officially dismissed starting today.

And you,

Blake,

don't act like you always

care about others.

You should think more about yourself.

If you're not doing well,

maybe go back to prison
for another couple of years.

I'll give you one more chance

to take back what you have just said.

The Bullets,

starting today...

Alex,

if something has gone wrong,

tell us.

There is nothing

that the Bullets can't solve.

We will share your burden.

Share my burden?

Share it with someone like him?

Someone who flies into an instant rage?

All brawn and no brain.

If it weren't for you,

would we have failed so many missions?

Who are you talking about now?

That's about right.

He is testing

the maximum voltage
that this collar can emit.

You're playing me again.

Alex,

what do we do next?

Let's pretend
that we have just formed an alliance

in order to mobilize more people.

This is good.

My turn, boss.

You look pretty young.

Who are you calling young?

Meitounao?
[♪Dim-witted]

He is Meitounao.

Oh. No, no, no.

He is Bugaoxing.
[♪Grumpy]

He is Meitounao.

He is Meitounao.

You were the one who told me
he is Meitounao.

He is Bugaoxing.

He is Meitounao.

He is Meitounao.

Alright, alright. Don't get angry.

Anyway,

they seem to be rather dim-witted.

Let's go.

- Who are you calling dim-witted?
- Don't get tricked...

Let go of me!

Why did you touch me?

What is the meaning of this?

Don't get angry.

Calm down.

Let go.

Let go.

Let's set a fight date.

To trash talk?

I don't think
you're capable of doing that.

So?

Let's fight outside.

Outside?

He said outside.

I have a plan.

The four of us

have allied.

We need more people.

Do you want to join us?

Sure.

What plan is it?

In this prison,

the guards on duty each time
are not a full squad.

If we can unlock this collar,

it will be fairly easy to tackle them.

Can you unlock it?

You need a password for this.

The password is on the computer console
in the warden's office.

The collar is GPS-tracked.

If we are too close
to the warden's office,

it will automatically trigger an alarm.

We will all be electrocuted.

No need for that.

We just need to hack into
the warden's computer console,

and I'll be able
to unlock all the collars.

So you need a phone.

It's the guard's.

That'll work.

Go on.

We need internet access
to hack into the computer.

If no one is leaving
to be executed,

the warden will not switch on
his computer console.

Unless the collars are malfunctioning.

What's happening?

What's going on?

What happened?

What is going on?

Bro, are you alright...

Head down and check on it.

Warden!

The collars are malfunctioning.

What's happening?

Tell the warden immediately!

Quick!

Some bad news first.

The collar passwords
are randomly generated.

If we want to crack it successfully,
this afternoon act has to be done

all over again.

However, this time,
we might need to put in more effort.

I need all hands on deck.

We have no problem with that,

but did you solve our problem?

What problem did he not solve?

This afternoon we acted like fools

by taking part in your little game.

Right now, all you have is bad news.

We all got electrocuted

for your little experiment now?

Who said he did not crack the code?

Whose code did he crack?

His?

Actually...

Don't get upset just yet.

Let them finish.

I cracked his.

You're just saying.

We're talking about you.

Stop eating.

Try it out.

I'll test it out on you, then!

Mine is cracked!

Let's not wait any longer.

We should get the guards over now.

Everyone can trigger the collars
in batches

so that I get more time
to crack the codes.

We just need to get
a few of our codes cracked,

then we can break out of here.

Are we ready?

Warden, the collars are malfunctioning.

The collars are malfunctioning.

Where are these people?

That's what I thought.

The collar isn't battery-operated,

so how does it function for a long time?

It uses electromagnetism,

so once we are far away from prison,
it will lose its induction.

The collar will then stop functioning.

Everyone was thinking of

how to take off the collar and leave,

but it never crossed their minds

that you can leave with the collar on.

Maybe they thought

we can never escape with the collars on.

Who would have thought
that we would do the exact opposite

and leave amid chaos.

The question is, why did Poisonous Bee
and the gang trust us

to be used by us?

That was why I was provoking you

to see the maximum voltage
that you can endure

and act like you're alright
in front of them.

Oh, right.

The keys to the main gate
are with the warden.

This task should be
a piece of cake to you.

I can't.

I have no time.

And?

No way.

Get them!

The same rules apply.

Don't kill anyone.

Raise the Bullets' fugitive status
to Class A.

Have the police
search for them nationwide.

Do not let them leave this country.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry, Chief.

They are unlikely to leave.

It is not difficult to find out

where they are right now.

Do you have a plan?

Yes, sir.

But I would like to

report to you alone.

Here are the files from the agency.

Liu Binbin was found dead
in Bruno's club.

Bruno has been assassinated too.

The Bruno syndicate has gone down
just like that.

He is then replaced by the current one,

Dustin.

He's taken control over
all of Bruno's drug dealing territories.

He also owns new kinds of drugs,

which caught the attention of
the international major buyer, Queen.

It seems like he is trying to establish

a drug dealing syndicate
greater than Bruno's.

Killing two birds with one stone.

With Liu Binbin and Bruno dead,

we will never be able
to prove our innocence.

Retreat!

[Warning]

Have you gone crazy?

I said we cannot hurt anyone!

Run!

If we don't fight back,
we will all die here.

It is impossible to leave
without injuring anyone.

No way.

We are law enforcers.

Alex.

Since you recruited me into the Bullets,

I swore

to always follow your decisions,

no matter what.

However, would you listen to me
this once?

I believe

that you will surely be able
to clear our names.

Collier!

Back off!

Collier is dead.

Do you hear me?

I said, Collier is dead.

I said, Collier is dead!

Collier is dead!

Calm down.

Are you still human
if you are not seeking revenge for her?

Calm down, Blake.

We are law enforcers.

Law enforcers?

Do law enforcers sacrifice themselves
for nothing?

Law enforcers?

Darn it!

Law enforcers?

I am hitting one now.

You've gone mad.

Let go!

Let me just ask you this.

Will you seek revenge for Collier?

Collier is dead,

and I am not sad about it?

You guys are the ones
with some sense of righteousness, huh?

Fine.

From now onward,

you are no longer part of the Bullets.

As long as we have one lead,

we would be able to unravel the mystery.

The mystery is unraveling now.

Boss.

Queen is here.

Nice to meet you,

Queen.

Tang Ning?

Weren't you dead?

You know me?

For those in the trade, if we can't even

recognize the person
who issues warrants over us,

how could we survive?

That makes sense.

You pulled
a pretty good fake-your-death trick.

You used Liu Binbin as a mole
to lure Bruno into your trap,

and you had everyone
witness the explosion

so that Qingge and you
are thought to be dead.

To protect Liu Binbin,

Bruno set the Bullets up
with this incident.

You then exterminated them,

seized Bruno's territories,

and used drug maker Qingge's new drug

to establish yourself as
the new drug lord named Dustin.

That's a very systematic analysis.

Thank you for the compliment,
Deputy Chief.

Alex,

did you get it all recorded?

How did you come to suspect me?

You're my father,

and you've always trusted me.

This time, however,

you chose to personally escort Qingge.

I am still worried.

Let me escort Qingge, then.

Fine.

I did think that something felt off.

Until the explosion happened,

the Bullets were under investigation,

sent to prison,

these developments seemed logical,

but it was all too convenient.

I suddenly thought of
something you said.

As long as we have one lead,

we will unravel the whole mystery.

What else?

After we escaped prison

and saw the files
on the new drug lord named Dustin,

I started to feel
that all that we've been through

were just part of an arrangement.

So I had Collier disguise as Xu Hao.

Please remain calm.

I will not harm you.

I am Collier.

In order to lure the mastermind out,

we need you to help us with an act.

I will now report to you

the plans to catch the murderer
that was made by Alex.

To make this act seem realistic,

Collier sacrificed herself
at the dockyard,

the Bullets were dismissed,

and all my doubts
were then proved right.

Alex,

you are right.

The act that we staged at the dockyard

was being watched by the men
sent by Deputy Chief.

Thus,

I had Bibi and Blake

find the drug buyer, Queen.

I also had Collier
stand in the place of Queen

as an attempt to lure you out.

It's your turn now.

Tell me, why did you do this?

The NIA is corrupt and incompetent.

Bruno

is the best case in point.

The NIA is corrupt and incompetent?

You told me before

that we can change
those who are corrupt and incompetent.

If not, why would anyone become
a law enforcer?

Ying,

you're slowly becoming who I was.

I had the same thought
when I was your age.

He plotted against you,
why are you still talking to him?

Next time, in a similar situation,

you should get your gun out
before you speak.

Do you think you have the situation
under control?

I don't want to
make things difficult for you.

Please come to the agency with us.

I am not done speaking yet.

He is stalling for time,

Alex.

NIA will be here very soon.

They wouldn't be so nice by then.

They're not coming.

It's a balancing device.

To put it simply,

the Chief and the bomb in his hand
should not be moved.

If there is any movement,

it would trigger an explosion.

This bomb has enough power

to destroy our whole building.

You were a bomb disposal expert,

what can we do now?

Find the remote control of this bomb.

There are sensors
on both the bomb and its remote control.

Once the remote is out of range,
the bomb will explode.

Judging from the settings,

the remote control
must be in this building.

Search our bases, now!

Yes, sir.

I have an insider in the agency,

so it wasn't difficult to place a bomb
into the Chief's hands.

What do you want really?

You figured out our plans long ago.

It means that Queen...

Before you all came,

I've closed the deal
with the real Queen.

I know all of you
like the back of my hand.

I know you wanted to protect Bibi,

so you made her switch
from snipers to blades.

But now,

it seems like
you have made the wrong move.

I know your capabilities well.

It is not difficult for you
to escape prison and to find me.

I am pretty satisfied

with how things turned out today.

You understand my character.

Only by experiencing
the injustice of the law

and the incompetence of the agency

would I then follow you.

From the Qingge incident

up to this moment,

everything is interlocked.

I had the best of intentions.

Best of intentions?

It is a father's best intentions

to turn his son
from a cop to a criminal?

Did you know how your mother died?

Ying,

Mom is on a mission.

I will be switching off my mobile soon.

If your call doesn't get through,

don't worry, okay?

She fell in service

chasing after criminals.

Fell in service?

Rong!

Rong!

It's a trap.

They found out
that I was investigating...

Don't say a word.

I am sending you to the hospital.

Rong!

There is no time.

Listen to me.

The top brass has leaked
the list of undercover agents.

Our son is in danger.

Listen to me.

Help him.

I will.

Chengxi bushland.

I will go there.

Rong.

Rong!

Rong!

This is where she passed.

I did not let your mother down.

I fulfilled her last wishes.

When your undercover identity
was leaked,

I led the team
that covered your evacuation.

[Go. Now.]

The reason why you are still alive

is because of your mother.

It is Rong's death anniversary.

You knew you were adopted,

but do you know

why we adopted you?

Rong couldn't bear to see you
die freezing in the streets.

She wanted to take care of you.

During that time,

I didn't want a child,

but Rong did.

Whatever Rong wanted,

I would give it to her.

It's because she was everything to me.

As long as she was here,

my world was present.

Now that she is gone,

anyone in this world
who has anything to do with her death

will pay the price.

Are there any other solutions?

Too little time
and too much ground to cover.

We have no idea
what the remote control looks like.

Is it planted on one of us?

Don't waste any more time.

Get everyone to the exits

and evacuate
within the shortest time possible.

Chief!

Don't sacrifice everyone because of me.

This is an order.

Go!

Xu Hao,

evacuate everyone.

I have said earlier

that a father knows his son best.

You are still inexperienced.

Where are you trying to bring me to?

NIA

is now reduced to a heap of rubble.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Your phone is here.

The bomb is defused.

The timer has stopped.

Now that is my son.

Feel around your pocket.

In your hand is a bomb sensor remote.

If four of you

can gather within 1m
under a specified amount of time,

the bomb will be defused.

Otherwise,

the bomb

will be instantly triggered.

Put down your gun.

You, big guy.

Let the last round of the game

commence!

Collier,

use the terrain
and get rid of the three fatties.

Blake,

Ghost is all yours.

I'll take Poisonous Bee.

Move!

I heard that your blade skills
aren't even close to Bibi's.

But that is just what I heard.

Why not try for yourself?

"The Mastermind".

You're in such a mess.

I'd really like to see...

I don't have time for this.

So you think we are dim-witted, huh?

We'll see if you can hide faster
than our bullets can find you.

You'll never know if you never try.

Enough with your nonsense.

Bring it on!

Don't worry,

you won't die.

My knife is not on your vital organ.

There's not enough time left.

So I planted the knife

on your vital organ.

Things are coming to an end.

I kept on wondering

why you would do this.

He used to tell me

that you are a great father.

You might be strict,

but to him,

you are his beacon of light.

So I don't believe
that you meant him harm.

Yet,

since the beginning of your plan,

he is bound to be
the most miserable one.

If he chooses his team,

he will lose his father.

If he chooses his father,

he will lose his teammates.

You know that he is such a loyal person,

but you forced him to choose

with no room for leeway.

The world is unpredictable.

Things don't always go our way.

We are all involved in it
and left without a choice.

For some things,

I will do as I wish.

I just hope for

no regrets at the end.

So

You are ready for an ending?

My son,

let go of me.

I have already lost my mother.

You have no time left.

We haven't cleared that round yet.

Over here.

You kept it.

Hurry!

Something happened, quick!

There were no signs of forced entry.

The specific cause of Chief's death

requires further investigation.

What is it, Bibi?

I suddenly remembered

that your dad said something odd to me.

He said,

this is just the start of his plan.

And he hoped
that you will be able to find her.
