The Terminally Ill Speaker's Secret Ledger

Suffering from terminal bone cancer and with barely three months to live, Meng Shengzhu, chairman of the Mengtu Group, appears in public to be a mild-mannered business elder who stutters when he speaks. In secret, however, he is a ruthless power broker who has spent sixty years lying low, with the entire circle’s ledger of dirty dealings in his hands. Born into the lowest ranks of the Banya wasteland docks, he endured humiliation in his youth and was forced to carve out a bloody path with his bare hands. For decades afterward, he patiently laid his plans, using legitimate fronts such as compliance consulting and strategic research to quietly record the secrets behind the industry’s elite’s illicit transfers of wealth. With a single hidden ledger, he climbed step by step to the summit of the capital world.
