Make Quick Money by Taking Advantage of the Sidelines

In the winter of 2026, Shanghai programmer Lin Xiao was diagnosed with rare cardiac amyloidosis, and the doctor gave a countdown of 180 days. Medical bills are like an avalanche, but the income from formal channels cannot even afford a targeted drug. In desperation, he stared at a post on the dark web that said "high salary and daily settlement" - serving as a funding channel for overseas gambling platforms. The first time he laundered money, he spent 30 minutes laundering 500,000 black money into "game points" and received a commission of 30,000. At that moment, he knew he couldn't look back. From "scoring" to building his own encrypted currency mixing pool, and then hacking into the SWIFT message system, Lin Xiao used his remaining life as a bargaining chip and ran wildly on the gray track. Within half a year, he built a "zero clearing" network covering 83 banks in 17 countries, with an average daily turnover of US$470 million. When the joint arrest warrant from the FBI and Europol was issued, he was already sitting in a castle by Lake Zurich and became the "Ghost CEO" of the international money laundering gang. However, every alarm from the heart monitor reminds him that wealth and death are undergoing their final simultaneous reckoning. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
