A judge's disciple at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, once a star at a global competition five years ago. When tasting Qibao's Youth Series baijiu, he recognized the distinctive taste as Shen's work and his hands trembled. Determined not to let Shen's shadow rise again, he plotted to sabotage the product. He bribed an analyst whose son was applying to Jin Agricultural University by offering a spare slot in his program along with a ready project that would enable the son to publish an SCI paper in his first year. He gave the analyst the Youth Series' code number and asked him to fix this through the contest's software.
