> Resumos de Eight Hundred
In 1976, Chen Hongbing returned to the hometown of his former fiancée, Gao Ying, accompanied by his young son, Chen Hui. He visited Gao Ying’s parents, who were still deep in mourning over the loss of their daughter. During the visit, the elderly couple revealed they had found an abandoned infant girl near a public restroom that morning. Seeing the child as a new spark of hope in their lives, they decided to adopt her.
With Hongbing’s help in navigating the official procedures, they named the girl Gao Songge, a name inspired by an essay about the resilient character of pine trees. Decades later, in 1997, Gao Songge became entangled in the illegal trade of prohibited cough syrup. While she was settling a transaction and collecting empty bottles from a buyer, she received an urgent call from Chen Hui, who warned her that his father, the deputy police chief, was onto them.
Hui ordered her to stop the deal immediately. However, the buyer was suffering from severe withdrawal and became violent when she refused to hand over the goods. In the ensuing struggle, Songge was stabbed. To save herself, she pulled out a detonator and threatened to blow them both up, forcing the crazed man to flee. Realizing her vascular fistula had ruptured and she was bleeding uncontrollably, Songge called Hui in a panic.
Knowing she wouldn't survive the trip to the municipal hospital, Hui instructed her to ditch her phone, bag, and motorcycle, and head to his mother Ding Yue’s clinic. Songge barely managed to arrive at the clinic before collapsing. Ding Yue provided emergency bandaging while Chen Hui arrived, pretending he was merely visiting. They then used Huo Kaiming’s car to rush Songge to the city hospital for surgery.
Once Songge was stabilized, Ding Yue pulled Hongbing aside to reiterate her demand that they force Chen Hui to break up with her. She feared that Songge’s chronic illness would become an unbearable lifelong burden for their son. Hongbing, however, was moved by Songge’s kindness and couldn’t bring himself to break the heart of a girl fighting for her life. To avoid further argument with his wife, Hongbing stepped out of the hospital under the pretext of looking for Hui.
Near the hospital entrance, Hongbing encountered Huo Kaiming repairing his car's trunk. Huo complained that the latch had been broken because Chen Hui had frantically yanked his bag out. Hongbing recalled how desperately Hui had guarded that specific bag during the ride, refusing to let go of it for a second. This heightened his suspicion that his son was hiding something dangerous. Inside the hospital, Ding Yue ignored Hongbing's advice and pressured Songge to leave Hui.
Songge was devastated but masked her tears when Hui returned. Outside, Hongbing confronted his son and tried to inspect the mysterious bag. During the physical struggle, the bag tore open, and a large quantity of condoms spilled onto the ground. Ding Yue was furious at Hongbing for violating their son’s privacy and regretted her earlier harshness toward Songge.
That night, Chen Hui went to a deserted yard to retrieve his hidden stash of drugs, only to find they had been swapped. Before he could react, he was knocked unconscious. He woke up tied to a chair and blindfolded. His captor was Huo Kaiming, who was obsessed with finding his missing wife, Jiao Yuqin. Huo blamed local drug peddlers for her disappearance and threatened to burn Hui alive using potassium permanganate and glycerol.
Recognizing Huo’s voice, Hui managed to loosen his restraints and fought back, but he was eventually outmatched. To save his life, Hui promised to use his criminal connections to help Huo find Jiao Yuqin. Meanwhile, the police launched a surprise raid on a nightclub. During the operation, they arrested twenty-six individuals who tested positive for Kejianin, the active ingredient in the prohibited cough syrup. Among those caught was Wang Sui, a university student visiting from out of town.
Her friend, Xin Yu, stayed at the station all night, pleading with the officers and insisting that Wang Sui must have been drugged without her knowledge. As the investigation deepened, the police found leads involving a dealer named Lu Yuan, but the primary suspects managed to flee before the arrests could be made. Later, at the roller skating rink, Xin Yu approached Chen Hui, hoping he could ask his father to help Wang Sui.
Before they could talk, Huo Kaiming arrived to press Hui for information. Desperate to keep Huo quiet, Hui pulled him into the warehouse. At that moment, Lu Yuan appeared outside the rink for a meeting, just as a fleet of police cars pulled up for a surprise inspection, signaling a new wave of trouble for everyone.
