"In this cannibal city, you either live on your knees or die standing."
Twenty-year-old dock coolie Chen Mo huddled in a slum holding his dying mother after his father was tortured and killed by gangsters. After a bloody fight, he was spotted by Du Yuesheng, the godfather of Hong Kong City, who used a blood-stained jade ring as a token to drag the bruised young man into the abyss.
From a debt collector at the dock to running an underground empire, Chen Mo climbed up through betrayal and blood:
- In the first year, he used a butterfly knife to slit the throat of his enemy in a car repair shop and completed the most cruel surrender in the underworld;
- In the third year, he led 18 dead men to bloodbath the drug lord stronghold in the Golden Triangle, making "Silence is Golden" the most terrifying legend in Southeast Asia;
- In the fifth year, before his mother's deathbed, he tore open an old photo from thirty years ago - Du Yuesheng was actually the real murderer of his father.
When the police undercover brother points his gun at his back, when his childhood sweetheart female reporter holds evidence of his drug trafficking, when his adopted daughter is tied to a bomb by a rival gang... This hero who walks on the edge of black and white finally understands: Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.
