Fresh out of prison, I was still dressed in the same threadbare clothes I had worn a decade earlier, with nothing in my pocket but the 30 yuan travel allowance handed to me by a prison guard. So when a text message informed me that 6 million dollars had just landed in my bank account, I dismissed it as fraud. Then my former boss's daughter arrived, pulling up in a Maserati outside the crumbling boarding house where I rented a room for 100 dollars a month. She tossed an asset transfer agreement in front of me, her gaze dripping with disdain. She said, "Sign it. My father's multi-billion fortune is yours now. And so am I." I fixed my eyes on her, saying nothing. Ten years behind bars had taught me one lesson above all else. There is no such thing as a free lunch, especially not one as lavish as this.
