The Intelligence Game: Revenge and Escape

When his father's factory was maliciously seized, the shadow of his father's death by suicide haunted Shen Mo for ten years. At twenty-three, he spent three years laying an inescapable web, then launched his revenge with a murder as meticulously engineered as clockwork.

He is a highly intelligent hunter who operates on the edge of the law. He can change identities in blind spots beyond surveillance cameras, send messages using pi-based codes, and spot a tail just by analyzing someone's gait. Every move is like solving a perfect math problem, calculated with precision down to the police's response time and pursuit radius.

Captain Li Rui of the city's criminal investigation division has never faced an opponent this troublesome. There are no fingerprints at the scene, the surveillance hard drive has been professionally destroyed, and the only clue is the inscrutable smile at the corner of the victim's mouth. By the time the citywide dragnet is in place, Shen Mo has already taken on a new identity and appeared in the sights of his next enemy.

This is a game of cat and mouse spanning three cities. As he flees, he gathers evidence; on a knife's edge, he weaves traps, sending every one of those who wronged him into the abyss they made themselves. When the last enemy falls in a pool of blood, the police have closed to within a hundred meters. Shen Mo looks at his bloodstained face in the mirror and smiles with confidence. He has already prepared ten thousand ways to escape.
