Twenty years ago, Lu Chenzhou, the leader of the Eight Gates, was ambushed. His beloved wife, Su Wan, died protecting him, leaving him with one final request: to disappear from the world and protect their daughter. Abandoning his life of violence, Lu Chenzhou became a cook at a small restaurant in an urban village, lying low for twenty years. When his daughter, Lu Nian, is bullied by a young thug named Zhao Kai, his former subordinate Lao Gui steps in, exposing his identity. Zhou Jingting, chairman of the Eight Gates Group, then leads a crowd in kneeling before him. Lu Chenzhou reunites his former subordinates and follows the clues to uncover his old enemy, Han Zhidong. He brings justice to the drug-trafficking blood feud through the law and clears up years of misunderstandings involving Qiao Wanlin, Lei Kun, and Cai Yongchang. With his revenge complete and old grudges settled, his former subordinates beg him to take charge of the Eight Gates again. But he chooses to return to the kitchen, staying with his daughter, Lao Gui, and Zhou Jingting to run their little restaurant and enjoy a peaceful, ordinary life.
