Blurb
Five years ago, Lu Xiao's younger brother went away to work during the summer after the college entrance exams and never came home.
He reported him missing, put up notices, and followed the few vague leads he had all the way to Taibang.
There, he found Hu Daling, a businessman with considerable connections along the border, and asked him to help track down his brother. The fee was steep, but Hu Daling promised he could pay in installments.
Lu Xiao worked for a company that specialized in missing-person cases. To pay off the debt as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to take on even more work.
Chen Yanqing: “Did you really have to do that?”
Lu Xiao: “Do what?”
Chen Yanqing stared at him.
Lu Xiao: “...Sweet-talking you?”
Chen Yanqing: “They call it the ‘beauty trap.’”
