In the Republic of China, there were many business names in Shanghai, banknotes were flying everywhere, and an account book was enough to overthrow a famous family, and it was enough to make a dead man speak.
Shen Zhaoheng was originally the third young lady of the Shen family, but she was never regarded as a real member of the Shen family. Her mother, Gu Hengjun, died in an old case twelve years ago. The Gu family was destroyed, the Shen family gained, the Lu family cut off the money, and Jiang Hui divided the goods. Everyone said that it was forced by the current situation and it was difficult to settle old accounts.
Until a book of Gu's official accounts appeared in the world.
Shen Zhaoheng was pushed into the limelight, the Shen family wanted her to take the blame, the Gu family's orphan wanted her to take revenge, the Lu family's bank account wanted her to shut up, the Jiang Business Group wanted her to bow her head, and the iron abacus in the dark wanted to use her hand to burn all the old accounts in Shanghai into a bloody game.
But she didn't.
She will not be a debt repayment for the Shen family, a revenge knife for the Gu family, or a bead on anyone's chessboard.
She opened the public accounts of the Chamber of Commerce, examined the old goods of the Shen family, checked the Lu family's bank accounts, uncovered the secret cellar of the Jianghui Association, and entered the official accounts of Fulan. She wrote the female accountant whose name had been erased, the dead clerk, the silent accountant, and the rewritten letters back to the sun one by one.
If someone used official documents to seal them, she would let the accounts be filled in the street; if someone threatened her with dead people, she would let the dead people also enter the accounts.
This is a city where money and power are intertwined, and it is also a reckoning with accounts as the blade.
Shen Zhaoheng wanted to find out more than just who owed the Gu family.
What she wants to find out is who is qualified to write the truth.
