In Hong Kong, where neon lights and shadows intersect, the mysterious death of Chen Dingfeng, the founder of the tens-billion consortium "Dingfeng", tears apart the tender veil of a wealthy family. While everyone was focusing on the fight over wills and turf disputes, Chen Yongren, the silent and transparent senior manager of the group's audit department, smelled the smell of murder in three seemingly perfect financial statements.
He never thought that what he was moving was not only the abacus beads, but also a transnational criminal empire that spanned twenty-six years and was soaked in blood and black gold - the "Phoenix Project." From the secrets under the ashes of the Kowloon Walled City to the undercurrent of money laundering in Macau casinos, from the ghost accounts of Swiss banks to the sleeping keys of Austrian castles... This "accounting assassin" holding an ivory abacus had to use numbers as a knife and ledgers as armor to carry out thrilling silent reckonings in the midst of family feuds, gang fights, international mafia sieges and high-level protection umbrellas.
When the last ring of the abacus beads went silent, what he was dealing with was not only the sins of the family's blood debt and wealth, but also the dark reflection of human greed in the maze of globalized finance.
