Everyone's Weaknesses

Lu Xinghe, a low-level IT guy, spent two years at his company as a nobody: working overtime until three in the morning, watching his boss take credit for his work, and not even getting his name mentioned.

Then one day, a line of text appeared before his eyes: [Weakness Scan activated]

He discovered that beneath everyone’s seemingly flawless exterior lay a crack they desperately wanted to hide. His boss was using company servers to mine cryptocurrency, the project manager was inflating expense claims, and the deputy head of HR was taking bribes. He was the only one who could see it all.

With just one operations report “accidentally” copied to the CTO, he got the boss who had stolen his credit kicked out within three days.

But that was only the beginning.

When he turned his attention to Shen Wantang, the aloof director of marketing, the System flickered for a full three seconds before displaying a red warning: [This target’s weaknesses are connected to an exceptionally wide network. Proceed with caution.]

A blade that provides information but no power, and a game of strategy with weaknesses as the stakes.

When everyone else thinks they’re the one moving the pieces, Lu Xinghe is the only one who can see the whole board.

“Have you ever wondered if I can see everyone’s weaknesses, but whether you can see mine?”
