Being a Hero
Five years after his father's murder by a drug cartel, former officer Wu Zhenfeng reappears as a wanted suspect, earning the nickname "Addict Lord." Now a narcotics officer, his former best friend Chen Yu is determined to uncover the truth behind Wu's actions. As their paths collide, a high-stakes game of loyalty, deception, and hidden motives unfolds.
