Fourteen Days Before the Crash

His father got hooked after watching short videos and listening to the “teacher” in a livestream. He bet everything they had, along with money borrowed from relatives and the 920,000 yuan he raised by mortgaging the house, on a heavily manipulated stock.

In his previous life, the stock plunged in a string of limit-down sessions fourteen days later. Their 2.05 million yuan dwindled to a tiny fraction, and his father leaped from the roof of the old factory dormitory. The hands that held up the phone for facial recognition to transfer the final 120,000 yuan were Lu Zhixing’s own.

He wakes one night, reborn fourteen days before the crash. The “teacher” in the livestream is still counting down the remaining slots, and the 120,000-yuan transfer is waiting for his father’s facial confirmation.

This time, he turns off the screen. He quits his job and enters the market, turning 40,000 yuan into a snowball. He exposes every candlestick the market manipulators draw, rescuing people, money, and justice from the jaws of their machine.

Saving his father is only the beginning. The touts, group moderators, traders, financiers, and backstage organizers form a chain of interests that has preyed on his father’s generation twice. He’ll hunt them down one by one, all the way to the person at the very top.
