Synopsis
In 1943, a shocking explosion case in Shanghai brought together Lu Zhengyang, an underground Communist Party member, and Lin Shaobai, a former police officer. Both men demonstrated their unique skills during this initial encounter. Six years later, after the liberation of Shanghai, Lu Zhengyang became a key figure in the city’s public security bureau’s anti-espionage unit. Faced with the tough challenges of counterintelligence work, Lu, with the support of his leaders, boldly recruited Lin Shaobai, the former policeman known as the "Shanghai Know-it-all," after careful scrutiny.
The two became partners, working together to crack major cases such as the "Great Treasury Robbery," the "Counterfeit Currency Case," and the "Hidden Radio Station Case," all masterminded by veteran secret agent Zheng Lanting of the Shanghai Special Station of the National Security Bureau. Through their efforts, they ultimately thwarted the schemes of enemy agents hiding in the shadows. During the investigation, Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai evolved from constant friction to mutual trust, eventually becoming comrades who would live and die together.
