Iron-Blooded Spy: Starting at the Special Higher Police

On the surface, Chen Zheng is an officer in the Japanese military's Special Higher Police, serving as a puppet officer. In reality, he is a senior underground operative who secretly protects underground couriers. When a citywide purge sweeps across Shanghai, he is forced into one dangerous situation after another amid Matsumoto Jiro's suspicions and Fujiwara Yukiko's surveillance. With the crisis in the city still unresolved, he receives orders to report to the front. Amid a multi-sided struggle, he holds fast to his convictions and fights to survive in the narrow gap between the overt and covert games at play.
