    A suspenseful, thrilling title: After being fired from the Big Four, I sent a billionaire to prison by auditing accounts. Have you ever wondered where the money went when people swindled your parents' retirement savings? This book tells you the answer. The protagonist, Chen Yan, a former Big Four auditor, was framed and fired for refusing to sign a false report, resulting in an industry-wide blacklist. Three years later, a late-night phone call brings him back to the battlefield—in Futian, Shenzhen, a cross-border e-commerce boss "commits suicide," yet his export figures have surged by 300%. He uncovers a financial flow that the police couldn't trace in just twenty minutes. This isn't a crime novel; it's about using an auditor's "data eye" to see through all financial lies. Already at 120,000 words, the protagonist's career is fully developed, there's no romance involved, and the trio (auditor + female police officer + intern assistant) form a pure camaraderie. Every three chapters offer a small thrill, and each volume features a major case—cross-border money laundering, retirement scams, the cryptocurrency black market, billion-dollar supply chain fraud, influencer tax evasion, venture capital fraud, and murder within a wealthy trust… You think you're reading a novel, but you're actually learning how to fight fraud.

    The first book had a super cool female lead who was also very efficient at solving cases; I found it quite enjoyable. The second book was about forensic medicine. There wasn't much romance in it.

She has special powers, high intelligence, and a System. No romance. The main focus is solving cases. The heroine is highly intelligent and has a powerful psychic ability. She is unquestionably the protagonist and keeps the System firmly under her thumb. A heads-up: because the heroine is so capable, she solves cases quickly, so I’ll spend several chapters on how the cases are discovered and investigated. Otherwise, it would just be mindle 2.2kReads7.2Score305Shelves
