For six years Lu Qingzhou, a VP overseas, sent his wife Qin Ruoyao 200,000 a month and counted the days until he could come home. At the complex gate he finds his parents and seven-year-old Nuonuo picking leftovers out of a bin, the little girl’s eyes wrapped in cloth. Ruoyao has told them he is buried in gambling debt; they sold everything, slept under a bridge, and hate him for it. His transfer records crack the story, and so does her next call, fifty thousand for a car accident that never happened. A private investigator finishes it: she poured his millions into her blind brother Qin Mingzhou, and she took Nuonuo’s corneas to give him sight, while she lived in a mansion. Qingzhou walks her fake hospital patient into the open, then files fraud and intentional injury. She gets twelve years and a full restitution order. The Qin assets are auctioned, Mingzhou is blind and on the street again, and her parents beg to be saved and are refused. Nuonuo’s transplant succeeds. Qingzhou quits the overseas job, buys a new home, and stays. Ruoyao writes a repentance letter from prison. He never tells his daughter what her mother did.
