Espionage: Greedy on the Surface, a Red-Roused Operative Within

1938, Chongqing Station of the Military Statistics Bureau, Section Nine.

Twelve old hands, three Japanese spy moles, and a traitor for a section chief.

It was the biggest cesspit in the entire bureau.

On his first day in charge, Chen Yan purged the moles, handed out gold bars, and laid down strict rules.

Section Nine's fighting strength: a useless squad to the bureau's sharpest blade.

Second week: intercepting Japanese spy microfilm, cracking the coordinates for a major bombing, and earning enough credit to shake the whole bureau.

First month: striking back at his political enemies within the bureau, sweeping through Chongqing's black market, and commanding influence on both sides of the law.

Third month: infiltrating the Wang Jingwei puppet regime alone, conning funds from the Japanese, and bringing back a list of traitors.

Six months later: holding real power in the bureau, infiltrating the Inspectorate, and becoming untouchable even to Boss Dai.

Everyone thought he was risking his life for the bureau.

Only the half-note of legal tender in the moonlight knew the truth:

Codename "Jingzhe," waiting for "Kite" to return.

"Section Nine only cares about two things: money and lives."

"From today on, I decide who gets them."
