Lin Yan was born with a perfect memory, and he was especially good with numbers.
Three years ago, he was living on the streets when Third Master He took him in and made him the accountant for his gang. He never touched a knife, spilled blood, or got involved in underworld feuds. He just wanted to keep the books balanced in peace.
Until the day he discovered that 1.37 million yuan was missing from the accounts.
The money had been taken by A Hao, a brother who’d followed Third Master for six years. An investigation revealed that A Hao was a Qinglong Society mole. And someone happened to overhear a conversation in Third Master’s study about how he planned to use Lin Yan as a pawn.
In a single night, the docks went up in flames, A Hao defected, and the accountant Third Master trusted most fell into a trap that had been three years in the making.
Everyone thought he’d be the first expendable pawn sacrificed on the board.
But they forgot one thing:
Every transaction has a paper trail, and every scheme has a flaw.
A man used as a weapon, if he survives, can become the hand that wields it.
He doesn’t wield knives or guns.
He just keeps the books.
And some debts are finally due.
