Introduction
Li Yu, a deaf man born in the 1980s, lives in the rusty smell of Tongzi Tower. His ears cannot hear the noise of the world, but he can hear his own desire for money and dignity.
He has a smarter brain than anyone else, and can type the most complex codes with his fingertips, but cannot remember what he just said; he longs for a life in suits and ties, but can only be a silent operator in front of an old computer; he longs for the eyes of women, but even a "thank you" from the girl in the next class can make him blush.
It wasn't until the woman in the red dress came to him with 20,000 yuan and an encrypted secret that he realized that the window opened by fate for the deaf man was hidden in a dark place.
When cracking the password, he found the smuggler's account book; when he helped people recover data, he uncovered the affair of a high-ranking official; in the corner of the black Internet cafe, he used the code to knock on the secret door of wealth and also opened Pandora's box.
Some people respected him as the "Silent God of Wealth" and stuffed money and women into his arms; some called him a "deaf liar" and chased him into the streets with a knife; a woman once said to him, "I don't care if you can't hear", then turned around and took away all his savings.
From a poor boy who picked up rotten vegetables to "Mr. Li" who frequented high-end clubs, Li Yu stepped on the edge of the gray area and climbed up. He forgot who he was and his original desire, but he could not forget the warmth of those hands that held him in the dark night, and the coldness that stabbed into his back during betrayal.
When amnesia prevented him from remembering who his enemies were, and when wealth piled up high walls but could not block loneliness, this man who counterattacked in a silent world discovered that what should be remembered most was never money and women.
