In the Shanghai Concession in 1938, street gangster Chen Ye made money by reselling intelligence, but accidentally sold the Japanese army's top-secret defense plans as scrap paper to the military commander. I wanted to take the money and run away, but unexpectedly, the "Living King of Hell" webmaster put a gun to his head and forced him into the spy circle. He does not understand the righteousness of his family and country, and only recognizes gold bars and silver coins. However, he relies on the deception skills he has learned in the market, his photographic memory, and his ability to talk the dead into life, and he walks a tightrope among the three forces of the Japanese puppets, the military command, and the Chinese Communist Party.
He used false intelligence to lure out senior Japanese military officials, relied on the Green Gang's code words to knock on the back door of No. 76, And turned the black market into an information exchange. This rogue agent who "demanded money rather than his life" was a black market boss who bullied the market during the day. At night, he transformed into the mysterious "Pixiu" and stirred up the spy sea. When he discovered that every piece of information he resold was saving his compatriots, the hand holding the gold bar began to tremble. "I make money to survive, but whoever dares to touch the Chinese should first ask me about Chen Ye's gun!" From then on, there was a presence in Shanghai that frightened the enemy: a gold bar in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, the king of the black market who exchanged information for lives!
