Silent Authority

On a rainy night, people's hearts are like knives, and silence is the most murderous. Xie Heng, the most inconspicuous grassroots inspector of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, has no background, no backing, and no edge. He is a transparent person despised by everyone in the entire agency compound. No one knows that this young man, who has been silent and bowing his head all year round, possesses an unparalleled insight into the human power situation. He has been dormant for several years, hiding at the bottom and overlooking the overall situation. A case of faking one's death and jumping off a building opened up the shady story of the power struggle in the city. The old faction in the north city, the new faction in the south city, and the invisible faction in the city were engaged in a three-party game, with interests entangled and people's hearts deceitful. Some people use the case to silence themselves, some people use the opportunity to gain power, and some people pretend to be kind but hide murderous intentions. Xie Heng used mediocrity as a disguise, retreat as a killer move, used factional chaos to clear the situation, and used power struggles to break the situation. He doesn't fight or grab, but he takes the lead at every step; he is silent, but he uses every move to block his throat. Hierarchical calculations, strangulation by officials and businessmen, human shackles, hypocritical tactics, reproduce the cruel truth of the real power game. Gu Long's cold and blank writing style, with high-frequency reversal of anti-routines throughout the whole process, subverts predictions in every chapter, and hides an abyss in every chess move - everyone in the world is in his game, and he is also in everyone's game.
