A Shadow War of Life and Death

A hundred meters from a military research institute in City C in the southwest, a hot pot restaurant called “Shu Family Hot Pot” was packed with customers. They were engrossed in the rich, spicy flavors, unaware that beneath the bubbling broth lay a covert intelligence hub in China’s southwest, built by an M-country spy organization.

National security officers infiltrated “Shu Family Hot Pot” and engaged the spies in a heart-pounding fight to the death...

“The boiling pot holds more than just red broth. There’s also the smoke of battle, silent and unseen.” Wearing the bustle of everyday life as their armor, national security officers crushed a deadly crisis in the shadows of a culinary feast, embodying the loyal mission that “there is no peacetime on the covert front.”
