   Reader note

   This is a suspenseful novel: After being expelled from the Big Four, I sent a billionaire to jail by auditing his accounts. Have you ever thought about where the money went to those who defrauded your parents of their retirement money? This book tells you the answer. The protagonist Chen Yan, a top four auditor, was framed and fired for refusing to sign a false report, and was banned by the entire industry. Three years later, a late-night call brought him back to the battlefield - Futian, Shenzhen. The cross-border boss "committed suicide" and his export volume surged by 300%. It only took him 20 minutes to complete the fund flow that the police could not investigate. This is not a criminal investigation novel, this is using an auditor's "data eye" to see through all money lies. 120,000 Words are already fat, the male protagonist has a full career line, no love brain, and the iron triangle (auditor + female police officer + trainee assistant) is purely about friendship. Each 3 chapters has a small point, and each volume has a major case - cross-border money laundering, retirement pig slaughtering, virtual currency illegal production, tens of billions of supply chain fraud, Internet celebrity tax evasion, venture capital fraud, wealthy trust murder... You think you are reading a novel, but in fact you are learning about anti-fraud. Keywords: city, suspense, workplace, cool novel, no heroine
