On the day I quit, the newly appointed director stopped me at the company entrance.
“Song Wan, you’re staying to clean up the mess with the Xinghai project.”
Lin Zhou, my new boss and the boy I’d secretly loved in high school but never gotten together with.
After we reunite, he’s cold and demanding, yet he always brings me a cup of hot milk during late-night overtime.
I think it’s just a new form of workplace manipulation, until he secretly pulls me into a dangerous corruption investigation.
“Don’t be afraid. This time, I’m on your side.”
But as I get closer to the truth, I receive an anonymous threat: “Keep investigating, and you won’t leave here in one piece.”
What leaves me even more breathless is when Lin Weiwei, my best friend of many years, suddenly hugs me tight. “Wanwan, stay away from him… He’s my brother, and he’s the man who deceived you.”
A tangled web of corruption lies ahead, while the siblings’ murky past looms behind.
Then Lu Chenzhou, from the criminal investigation squad, reaches out to me. “Song Wan, do you believe in justice, or in people’s hearts?”
When every secret is exposed to the light of day
I once thought I was merely a pawn on the board. I never imagined that someone had wanted me to win ever since I was sixteen.
