Summary

While serving in the military, veteran Meng Zheng repeatedly heard his instructor's warning: violence is meaningless unless it serves to stop killing. When he learns that his comrade Le is murdered, he abandons his stable life, takes up arms, and travels vast distances to hunt down the killer. Along the way, he navigates encounters with the police and Interpol, posing as an escort for drug dealer Xu Yu to extract clues about the informant "Leopard Eye," only to discover that the forces behind the scenes are deeply entangled and that those around him are not what they seem. Amid hails of gunfire, he fights alongside old comrades again and again, and repeatedly confronts betrayal and sacrifice. The truth draws ever closer, but the price proves far heavier than he imagined.

Editor's review

This book follows a hard-boiled military-and-police revenge path. The opening gunfight in a busy district and the fake-death interrogation move at a tight pace, the firearms and tactical details are solid, and the camaraderie and faith are moving, making it suitable for readers who enjoy realistic gunfights and cross-border manhunts. Its weak points are the dense character relationships and jumping timeline in the early section, inconsistent word counts across serial platforms, and scattered update pacing in some chapters; it carries a strong web-novel feel, so readers seeking refined prose or light, satisfying power fantasy may not take to it.

Reading tips

  1. Read the three prologue chapters first to sort out Meng Zheng's relationships with Le and Tang Wen, then enter the main line
  2. Watch for the entrance clues of characters such as "Leopard Eye," Xu Yu, and Coyote, and keep notes on faction affiliations
  3. Since word counts differ across serial platforms, pick one legitimate platform and read continuously to avoid plot confusion

About the author

Shuibian Shuzi Author

Shuibian Shuzi is a Chinese online-fiction author about whom limited public information is available; no clear record of birth and death dates, nationality, or personal history has been found, and two works by this author are currently held in the library. Judging from the titles of the two representative works, Quanqin Anbao (Full-Attendance Security) and Zuizhong Fanji (Final Counterattack), as well as their common categories, the writing falls mainly within male-oriented and urban fiction. The subject matter tends toward real-world situations and action-driven narratives set in cities, while the titles carry a strong sense of profession and confrontation, suggesting stories that may revolve around grassroots workers, security personnel, or head-on clashes. Given the limited information available, a full picture of the author's output is difficult to sketch, but it is clear that the author works chiefly in the urban genre, with a small yet focused body of work that may appeal to readers interested in male-oriented urban storytelling and tightly paced action plots.
