After leaving the psychiatric hospital, Qin Manjiang called Xia Nan on the bus back to Fu City.
"Can you look into everything surrounding the reservoir project twenty years ago, starting from its initial approval?"
Qin Manjiang asked.

Was Yang really dead?
If he wasn't, where was he...
And there was the matter of Zhong Xueran.
*Judging by the time, Zhong Xueran should have returned to
