Four years ago, Ji Heng voluntarily entered the Noonday Zone.
Not one person locked up here was ordinary.
Conglomerate godfathers, underground brokers, arms dealers, intelligence magnates... Any one of their names could keep countless people awake at night.
But in the Noonday Zone, the one person nobody wanted to provoke was Ji Heng.
Four years later, a letter from home arrived.
His father was gravely injured in a car accident, his grandfather had died, his younger sister was being followed, and the family business, Hengchuan, was on the verge of collapse.
For the first time, Ji Heng applied to leave the Noonday Zone and return to Yuezhou.
Everyone thought he was merely the Ji family's long-lost son.
Until a production line that had been shut down for nineteen hours, an unsolved fire, and a line of credit that could be withdrawn at any moment dragged him back into the real world.
He didn't understand finance, so he found people who did.
He didn't understand the law, so he left it to lawyers.
He didn't understand technology, so he let the engineers speak.
But when all the complicated problems were laid before him, people gradually began to realize something.
What made this man truly terrifying was never that he could do everything.
It was that whenever everyone else panicked, he could always identify the one problem that needed to be dealt with first.
There was Lin Zhaoyue, the calm and restrained doctor; Shang Wanqing, the sharp, clear-minded lawyer; Jiang Lan, the capital trader who cared only about returns; Wen Yan, the journalist determined to uncover the truth; and the woman who had always remained in the world he left behind.
They had their own careers and their own pride, yet one by one, they stepped into Ji Heng's new life.
And as Hengchuan regained its footing and the undercurrents in Yuezhou surfaced, some people on the other side of the world finally received the news, too.
Ji Heng is out.
