In the late autumn of 1938, Shanghai was an undercurrent in the prosperous city that had become an isolated island. Jiang Yaoguang, secretary of Chase & Co., Used his gentle appearance as a cover to collect intelligence in the feasting and feasting of the French Concession, planning secret operations against the Japanese and puppets. When she reunited with Su Luotang, whom she had not seen for three years, at Mayor Zhang's birthday party, the passionate young man from the Jinling campus who had fought together in the national disaster had become the feared chief of the operations section of Agent 76 headquarters.
One is an underground worker lurking in the heart of the enemy, and the other is an "eagle dog" who has been accused of being a traitor. Their conflicting identities caused the two to start a silent confrontation on the terrace of the Peace Hotel. The Nazi lighter handed over by Su Luotang concealed a surveillance signal, but in the secret conversation at HSBC Bank, he used Morse code to transmit a distress message; Shen Manqing's step by step tearing open the cracks in the disguise, and the gunshots in the Jing'an Temple Road cafe pushed the truth to a desperate situation - it turned out that he was a military lurker code-named "Nightingale", who had used ruthlessness as his armor for three years, walking alone in the darkness.
The handover of the arsenal map and the fight for the French consulate's secret messages reunited the two souls who shouldered the heavy responsibility of their country. When Jiang Yaoguang disappeared into the rain with the information obtained by Su Luotang's blood, the old oaths on the banks of the Qinhuai River intertwined with the flames of war in Shanghai. Can they complete their mission under the clutches of No. 76 And the iron heel of the Japanese army? This spy war, which begins with faith and ends with trust, will eventually shine through the glimmer of national justice in the darkest place before dawn.
