An Old Copper Coin

As his father is laid to rest, Chen Feng receives an anonymous package.

An ancient copper coin, a piece of yellow paper bearing his father's birth details, and a single line: "Your life has been borrowed. The debt returns to its rightful owner."

What secret lies behind the words "buried alive," which his father repeated over and over before he died?

Chen Feng is a risk-control expert in Jiangcheng. He can spot a flaw at a glance when no one else can see it.

But this time, the things he needs to investigate aren't contracts or invoices. He needs to find out who secretly borrowed his father's life.

Every clue points to a shocking master plan.

As the truth is peeled back layer by layer, he realizes he has already been swept into an even greater storm...
