The Mastermind: A Cunning Scheme in the Underworld

My name is Zhang Lai, though of course that isn’t my real name. My real name no longer matters, and no one would remember it anyway. I’m a game-setter. What does that mean? I couldn’t explain it myself. So much has happened to me, and so much of it is beyond belief. If I had to pick a beginning, I’d start with a part-time job I took. It was around 12:10 a.m. that night, and I still can’t forget the heart-pounding events that followed.”
