Chen Mo is a telemarketing hunter at the end of the financial food chain, using lies day after day to catch those "prey" who are in urgent need of money. He disguised himself as a cold-blooded "financial hyena" until he personally forged his father's serious illness medical records to boost his performance. Fate played a cruel joke on him - when he dialed the last number as a routine, it was his father's old and concerned voice that came from the receiver.
The phone call shattered the wall he had built of numbness. Chen Mo discovered that he was already a carefully calculated part of the system: his weaknesses were accurately marked by data, and his "success" was based on the despair that devoured others. When the first client whom he deceived into taking a loan committed suicide, and when his father really fell ill and needed exorbitant medical bills, he was forced to make a choice between the professional abyss and the fetters of family.
The story follows Chen Mo from the edge of collapse to the depths of the system, from a cold-blooded hunter to a secret redeemer, and finally joins forces with the persecuted to fight against the financial monster that devours everyone. This is not only a story about scams and redemption, but also a grim anatomy of the alienation of human nature in the algorithmic era - when family love, disease, and anxiety are all priced by data, can we regain the dignity of being human under systematic squeeze?
