In 1938, war smoke swept across the land of China, and the Wang Puppet Agent Headquarters became a pawn of the Japanese, setting off a white terror in Shanghai. Chen Mengben, who was lurking among them, turned out to be an outlier who broke the rules - while others lurked on thin ice, he, with his Jianghu spirit, played an "absurd game" on the tip of a knife.
Disguised as a logistical officer of the puppet army, he had a rough talk and was full of outrageous strategies: getting traitors drunk with soju mixed with laxatives and stealing confidential documents at random; deliberately spreading rumors that "Japanese grain depots are haunted" and tricking the enemy into searching cemeteries in the middle of the night; he even used his reputation as a "bastard officer" to make jokes at the enemy's barracks and hide information in the insoles of his shoes.
Boldness is his armor, and black humor is his weapon. Faced with the strict investigation of the Japanese, the insidious frame-up of the traitors, and the misunderstandings and suspicions of his military colleagues, Chen Mengben always smiled playfully, but he was very clear about the importance at the critical moment - he was never soft when the gun was pointed at the enemy, and he was willing to go out of his way to protect his compatriots.
In the troubled times of war, he used seemingly unreliable methods to maneuver in the heart of the enemy camp, adding a bit of absurd passion to the cold spy war. He used his "wild ways" to ignite clusters of weak but tenacious fires for the hidden lines of the war of resistance.
