Plot Introduction: Where there is light, there are shadows. In an age where truth and falsehood cannot be distinguished, we are in a world where light and darkness coexist. Bright places may also be swallowed by the forces of darkness, while the dim and ambiguous corners often harbor the most fundamental power of light.
The story of "Bad Boys" is one set against the backdrop of light and darkness. The "bad boy" heroes are those who fight against the darkness while simultaneously igniting the light—these are the unique police officers. Departing from the heavy model of traditional police dramas, this narrative constructs a framework around a bright and fast-paced city, hiding the apparent darkness within the brightness. Waiting for these small detectives is the task of upholding justice to maintain the beautiful and bright dawn of the city.
Story: A bad boy, due to a certain incident, was mysteriously reduced to a street bum, transformed into a detective who gets by on dodging trouble. Living in a mansion that doesn't suit his identity, every month an unknown person sends him tens of thousands of dollars for petty expenses. When cases come along, he heads to the corner convenience store, buys a cup of coffee, sits down, and waits for clues to naturally fall into his hands. He doesn't have to do too much; his case-solving rate is high... He understands it's because of his "add-ons" as a police officer. If he weren't a police officer, everything he has would vanish. He can't explain anything to anyone, even himself finds it strange. Gradually, he truly believes he is a detective, and something different.
The hero, raised under strict parental guidance, believes that righteousness and law are the mainstays of building the world. However, due to his exceptional skills and high case-solving rate, every time he chases criminals, he inadvertently ends up with dangerous stunts like jumping off buildings and engaging in fierce battles. People don’t see him as a good policeman but someone who frequently faces endless complaints. Despite his super-high case-solving rate, his immediate superior despises him. To the world, he is seen as a true hero, though generally perceived as someone who is too reckless.
The bad boy and the hero meet for the first time in a chaotic chase. As they aim their guns at each other from close range, their fates become intertwined—both near and contradictory. At the Nanjing Branch Station during their second encounter, the hero sternly declares not only his refusal to team up with the bad boy but also orders him: "Disappear from my sight in one minute."
Despite having the best equipment in the city, the Nanjing Branch Station is also the place criminals love to hide. Inside the station, everyone is focused on promotions. There’s Old Li, a deep and taciturn veteran police officer, Hulk, a master at catching fugitives, and Xiaomei, a female police officer who admires the hero's bravery. Most uniquely, they have Xiyi Ying, a beautiful and intelligent crime psychology expert who spends her days only interacting with human bones.
It was a spring full of events. First, a private investigator from Beijing arrived, complicating the investigation at the Nanjing Branch Station. Not only were the security boxes in the bank vaults looted, but also casualties occurred. Entering the investigation was Laimusa, a female detective proficient in six languages with an angelic figure and devilish special skills, completely disrupting the rhythm of the bad boy and hero's case-solving. All these incidents happened after the bad boy joined the Nanjing Branch Station and began collaborating with the hero. Throughout the spring, the bad boy and the hero became like twin plagues, bringing chaos wherever they went.
Outside the police station, the main force maintaining the entire city is none other than the Black Society's Three Factions. They govern a black-and-white mixed underground society in their own way. Although machinery, smuggling, gambling, and usury are all within the Three Factions' scope, their leaders, known as Laoguo, maintain deep and mysterious ties with various powerful figures.
Laoguo’s first daughter, Linlin, is a pretty girl who looks like a porcelain doll and possesses third-degree judo skills. She isn’t just a tough character; the bad boy, thrown to the ground by her during their first meeting, subsequently captured her heart. The bad boy has many reasons to ignore Linlin's feelings, but the upright and sincere hero falls for her without needing any reason.
The bad boy and the hero, two mismatched detectives, accidentally pushed open a door leading to paradise, merging righteousness and evil into one. A massive profit-gold flow exists between them. And behind this lies a hidden hand summoning them towards an unknown destination. From the moment they face it, everything starts unraveling secrets tied to them. In this mysterious city, it’s been a long time since anyone saw clear skies.
A policeman is more than just a policeman, the underworld more than just the underworld, appearances can be deceiving. You can choose to believe what you see or summon enough courage to traverse through paradise, heading straight for a place filled with kindness and light. With courage, one can traverse through paradise, heading straight for a place filled with goodness and light.
