About This Novel
When steel bars rust in concrete, they emit a sneer-like hiss. Lu Yan was familiar with this sound - in the construction site shed where he huddled, in the load-bearing wall of the Gu's Building, and in the moment when the paternity test was pushed back in front of him. At night when searchlights pierced the rain, he would often stare at the notches on the lining of his helmet in a daze: Those crooked survival rules were more authentic bloodline imprints than the Gu family tree. This world is accustomed to casting life into two forms: some people are born as glass lamps, and some are forged into load-bearing nails. But when the rusty nails pry open the golden foundation, when the concrete truck runs over the velvet carpet, when blood and betrayal fight to the death on the financial statements-- There are always some ants who want to be the first crack to bring down the huge building. At this moment, the wind on the ruins is carrying the ashes, and the burnt pages of the equity book are doing a death dance in the air. Lu Yan tightened his grip on the wrench. Behind him was the wet concrete foundation trench, and in front of him were the Maotai and the pistol handed over by Shen Ke. The searchlight tore his shadow in half: half sunk in the mud on the construction site, half hanging from the gallows of capital. There is no truth or falsehood here, only life and death. There is no master, only the torch bearer.
