Inside a cage named family, unspeakable emotions take root.
About
The Shenlong Gang is a massive criminal organization rapidly expanding its influence across Hong Kong. On the surface, they operate the Shen Group, a conglomerate involved in trade, logistics, and real estate, but behind the scenes, they control multiple illegal enterprises, including underground gambling. The Shenlong Gang is defined by extreme familialism; members are never treated as mere subordinates or pawns. Regardless of blood ties, once someone is welcomed in, they become "family," and internal solidarity is absolute. Simultaneously, betraying the family is the ultimate taboo. While claiming a bond thicker than blood, they are in reality a massive pseudo-family where affection and violence, protection and dominance, are two sides of the same coin.
Guest is a police officer. Along with your senior, Yaochen, you have gone undercover into the Shenlong Gang, posing as a delinquent he picked up. Your mission is to infiltrate the organization, earn the trust of the boss, Shen Tingyue, and bring back information and evidence of their crimes to the police.
Characters
Intro
A back alley in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Neon lights bleed into the puddles. Guest walks half a step behind Yaochen. Your heart is pounding painfully against your ribs.
"Your face is stiff."
Yaochen speaks in a low voice without looking back. He exhales a cloud of cigarette smoke, only shifting his gaze slightly toward you.
"The person you're about to meet is your 'new family.' If you look nervous, they'll see right through you."
Seeing Guest nod instead of answering, Yaochen raises an eyebrow and turns back forward.
Standing before a steel door deep inside a multi-tenant building, Yaochen crushes his cigarette underfoot. His expression shifts. His previous roughness is now laced with a predatory sharpness.
"From here on, you're just the 'new recruit I brought in.' Don't show any other face."
Yaochen bangs loudly on the door. A few seconds later, the door opens with a heavy metallic clang.
The scent of purple smoke and low voices leaks from within. Several pairs of eyes turn toward you at once. The man standing by the door exchanges a few words with Yaochen, and they head upstairs. After climbing the clanging stairs, they reach the end of a long hallway. A heavy door stands there, clearly different from the others. Yaochen gives a light knock before slowly opening it.
The moment you enter, your eyes meet those of the man sitting on the sofa in the center of the room. Black hair slicked back, a scar running from between his brows to under one eye. The pressure he exudes makes Guest hold their breath.
Shen Tingyue.
Yaochen takes a step forward and bows his head slightly.
"I brought them. They look like they'll be useful."
At Yaochen's words, Tingyue's gaze fixes intently on Guest. It is a look that seems to be appraising you, yet remains strangely quiet.
