The terrorists who make the explosion in the film claim to be a legion called "True UDI", and Hannis, who is currently a senior british government official, was once an important member of UDI.

So Guan Yuming, who was in despair, launched his own revenge plan, using explosions as a means of threat to pressure Hannis.

In fact, Hannis, though claiming to have long since left UDI, has been working with his fellow senior government officials to secretly manipulate the group. Hannis has strong political ambitions to constantly destroy the ruling party's dominance by attacking the financial world, but his accomplices take matters into their own hands and direct radicals to carry out terrorist attacks. Through an investigation, Hannis also found that his wife not only cheated with his nephew, but also secretly colluded with his accomplices, and the joint betrayal of his relatives and accomplices made him trapped in this political whirlpool and unable to withdraw.
