In 1939, Shanghai became a living hell.
He was Shen Yanzhi, the “Living King of Hell” who struck terror into the hearts of the Military Statistics Bureau: a ruthless killer, cold-blooded and merciless. He was also “Chun Si,” the Chinese Communist Party’s deepest-cover agent, dancing alone in the abyss and walking on the edge of a blade.
At the execution ground, he shot his only contact himself, then sent out a top-secret order using the corpse, right under everyone’s eyes.
In his office, a scandalous affair hidden deep in his desk became a death warrant. Forces from every side closed in, determined to crush this “insignificant ant.”
An olive branch from the Japanese military police, Dai Li’s probing suspicions, his wife’s lethal gun at his bedside... Shen Yanzhi was trapped in a three-way meat grinder, surrounded by deadly traps at every turn.
He used his enemies’ blood to clear his name and paved his escape with his friends’ corpses.
When “Operation Ghost” begins, this isolated city is on the verge of destruction. Who will be able to tell truth from lies?
“If I’m still alive, who dares call himself king?”
Watch this tiny ant bite through the dragon’s throat and tear a bloody hole in the darkness before dawn.
