Shang Chao 's funeral , his father, Mr. Shand , expresses deep sorrow and anger, considering his son's fate unjust. Meanwhile, Yang Cheng approaches the deceased's father, offering a sincere apology.

Therefore, Yang Cheng has clues about the killer—a man who bears a scar on his neck, the same one he left during the Little Pomelo . This leads him to believe that the culprit should be in prison, which makes him distrust the Commission and prefer to act alone.

Later, he receives a call from the Enlighter , informing him that both the criminal and his agent have mysteriously disappeared. As these pieces fall into place, Yang deduces that the former E-Soul may be behind it all. Driven by a thirst for justice, he calls a press conference and challenges E-Soul to a duel on the organization's 34th anniversary. After all, if the villain refuses, his "Trust Value" will plummet.
