Detective Tai Siyi: The Avenger

It was a deathly silent night, and the thick darkness seemed capable of swallowing every sound. Inside the house, the family was immersed in deep sleep, their breathing steady and peaceful. Young Wuming was awakened by a physical need, but his instinctive fear of the unknown darkness made him hesitate. In the end, he could only force down his trembling and tiptoe toward the outside, trying to find a trace of security in the night.

Yet at that very moment, fate bared its vicious fangs. Through a gap in the window lattice, he saw a group of masked thugs slip into the residence like ghosts. Their cold, gleaming blades traced deadly arcs through the air before striking mercilessly at his defenseless loved ones. Blood stained the moonlight red, and screams were swallowed by the silence. At that moment, fear froze into ice, while hatred began to grow wildly in his heart. The seed of revenge planted in that young mind took root and sprouted with the passage of time, beginning a twenty-two-year blood-soaked pursuit of the killers.
