An iron dragon runs beneath the city, its arteries rusted from the moment they were forged.
A flawless con carried out in broad daylight. An anonymous ID staking everything on one desperate gamble.
A shocking kneel before the cameras. An accountability storm sweeping through government circles.
With sharp, wry prose, Rusted Arteries peels back the layers of a case that rocked the entire country. It reconstructs the whole chain of events, from the birth of the conspiracy and backroom deals to the scandal's exposure and the ensuing crackdown. It also vividly portrays the lost and corrupt businessman, the fallen bureaucrats, the brave whistleblower, and the principled disciplinary officials. Both a suspenseful novel rooted in real life and a warning about human nature, institutions, and public safety, it reminds us that how fast the train of our dreams can run depends not only on the strength of its rails, but also on the purity of every "artery."
