    Reader note

    After being fired from the Big Four accounting firms, I sent a billionaire to prison by auditing their 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 "committed suicide," yet his export figures surged by 300%. He uncovered a financial transaction 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.
