Deep City Baseline

Beneath the neon of Deep City, Lu Yexun has been lying low for three years, carrying the old case of his company's bankruptcy and his elder brother's wrongful accusation, hiding out as a surveyor on a low-tier construction site. Everyone thinks he has long since collapsed—everyone except Su Yaozhen, a controversial partner at a top law firm, who in a sorry accident stumbles upon the scheming he hides beneath his rough work clothes. She holds the key evidence to overturn the case, yet is also a piece the rival family is focused on courting. On one side are enemies pressing in step by step; on the other, a heartbeat with blurred boundaries. No mindless domineering CEO, no sudden cheat-like windfall. Relying on the business layouts in his memory and meticulous deduction, Lu Yexun tears open the conspiracy of those years bit by bit. The two pull and grapple through suspicion, probing, and standing shoulder to shoulder, holding fast to the baseline that belongs to them in this utilitarian city. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Deep City Baseline — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
