Summary

The screenwriter of the film Wolf Warrior, who has crossed both political and business circles, realistically portrays the methods of transnational "fox hunting." A work on the wisdom of maneuvering in overseas pursuit of fugitives, revealing the tricks of luring back corrupt fugitives on the Red Notice list. The sudden rupture of the capital chain at Jiyuan Company causes private investors to speak out frequently—some hang themselves, some kneel at the city gate to plead—and the vast capital empire built on private fundraising and lending evaporates in an instant. The company's head, Qian Ziyin, flees abroad with large sums of money. The municipal party committee takes the matter extremely seriously, and Public Security Bureau chief Liu Yuanchao specially assigns Lin Feng, chief of the economic crimes investigation section, to handle the case strictly. Yet the city's ambivalent attitude takes him by surprise, and invisible pressure plunges him into a dilemma with no way out...

Editor's review

Fox Hunt is a realist novel focusing on the struggle of economic crime police against transnational economic crime. The author, the Last Defender of the Way, draws on a deep background in law and investigation to construct a narrative space that is both professional and full of tension. This book is not a simple cops-and-robbers showdown; it deeply portrays how economic crime investigators represented by Xia Yuan and Wu Jiaqi use intelligence and technological means to contend with high-IQ criminals on a battlefield without smoke, unraveling complex economic puzzles involving stock market manipulation and cross-border money laundering. The plot is tightly linked and the details are solid; the novel not only shows the professionalism and complexity of economic crime investigation but also profoundly depicts law enforcers' inner struggles between emotion and law, personal belief and duty. Its value lies in transcending the entertainment level of genre fiction, offering readers a window into China's economic crime investigation work in literary form, combining knowledge popularization with realist concern. The writing is calm and restrained, and the narrative pace is well modulated; while exposing criminal methods, it also prompts reflection on human nature, desire, and the boundaries of law, making it a work that offers a deep reading experience.

About the author

The Last Defender of the Way is an author about whom limited public information is available; existing records show only one work, The Fox Hunt. The novel is classified as social fiction. Based on the available information alone, it is difficult to determine the author's full body of work or writing background, but judging from the title and category of The Fox Hunt, the book is likely to revolve around investigation, confrontation, and human choices in real social settings, with a strong sense of realism and narrative tension. Social fiction usually focuses on depicting characters' circumstances and social relationships, and often uses stories to reflect broader social phenomena, so it is reasonable to infer that the author leans toward realistic storytelling and pays attention to the fate of characters behind events. Since this is the only work in the library, there is currently insufficient material to give a full picture of the author's writing style, output, or influence; this representative work can only serve as the main reference, and further information would be needed for a more complete understanding of the author.
