Three years ago, Lu Yunqi stood in the middle of the banquet hall of the Four Seasons Hotel, holding champagne in his hand, surrounded by 300 guests, 300 million in financing, and Gao Ming, the assistant he had trained.
Three hours later, he was taken to the Economic Investigation Detachment for financial fraud.
Three days later, the assets were cleared, the company changed hands, and his wife Lin Wei signed the divorce agreement. Assistant Gao Ming flew to Singapore with his business secrets and married his ex-wife.
Lu Yunqi completely disappeared from this city.
Three years later, he became an online ride-hailing driver.
During the day, he traveled through the business territory that once belonged to him, and at night, he used pen and paper to deduce every loophole in the scam in a ten-square-meter rental house. He drove Gao Ming - looking at that familiar face in the rearview mirror and listening to him chatting and laughing on the phone; he also drove Lin Wei's best friends, piecing together his ex-wife's married life from their chats; until late one night, a financial reporter named Su Nian got into his car.
She was the only one who didn't close the door immediately after getting off the car.
"You've given so many people a lift," she said, "Have you ever thought that someone would give you a lift?"

This is a story about fall and rebirth, betrayal and hunting. When everyone thought he was dead, he just changed his perspective and looked at the world again.

In the rearview mirror, some people saw the past and some saw the way forward.
