As night falls, Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour is brightly lit. A thrilling spy war quietly unfolded, involving the competition of multiple forces. Dang Xunqi worked hard to complete the task assigned by the queen bee, but he didn't know that he had become an outcast. Li Wenbo is in danger, and his undercover identity is in jeopardy. Su Xing and Tong Sheng teamed up with the intention of exposing Zhang Shaomu's true face. Tong Jiangnan's test data has become the focus of contention, and a game around the data is about to begin. In this complex situation, who can get out of it all? Who will be the winner? As the situation changes dramatically, mysteries await to be revealed.
In the late autumn of 1948, in a hidden hut in the Walled Kowloon City of Hong Kong, Dang Xunqi sat in front of an oil lamp, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat. He held a secret letter in his hand with an ultimatum from the queen bee: he must find a suitable ship within seven days, or he will bear the consequences.
Dang Xunqi is well aware of the importance of this ship. It is not only related to the success or failure of the "Bee Project", but also directly affects his status and life safety in the organization. However, at this time, the port of Hong Kong was extremely tightly controlled, and it was not easy to find a vessel that could pass the inspection smoothly.
Just the day before, Dang Xunqi had tried to find a suitable ship through the connections of the steamship company. Unfortunately, due to the previous conflict with Su Xing, the steamship company avoided his request. This made Dang Xunqi realize that he had to find another way.
After some inquiry, Dang Xunqi learned that the local gang leader, Zhuang Boss, had several working boats in his hands. So, he decided to take the risk of approaching Boss Zhuang. However, Boss Zhuang is not a good character. During the negotiation, Zhuang Boss Lion opened his mouth, not only asking for three times the rent, but also insisting that he would not be willing to rent a ship until he saw Su Xing first.
This condition put Dang Xunqi in a dilemma. On the one hand, he could not raise such a huge rent in a short period of time; On the other hand, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to bring Su Xing to Boss Zhuang. As time passed, Dang Xunqi felt the pressure increasing day by day.
Just when Dang Xunqi was almost desperate, he unexpectedly learned that Boss Zhuang was doing a big business recently. The news gave him a flash of inspiration and he decided to take a desperate gamble and plan a bold move.
Dang Xunqi quickly gathered his elite forces and formulated a well-thought-out plan. They will carry out a raid when the boss is trading, and seize the goods and cash in one fell swoop. This will not only solve the problem of chartering funds, but also discourage Boss Zhuang and force him to comply.
On the night of the operation, Dang Xunqi led a group of his men to lurk in the dark alleys of the Kowloon Walled City. Dressed in black and armed with weapons, they waited for Boss Zhuang's motorcade to pass by. When the target appeared, Dang Xunqi gave an order, and his men poured out like a tide, quickly surrounding Boss Zhuang's convoy.
In the face of the sudden attack, Boss Zhuang's men were caught off guard. After a fierce firefight, Dang Xunqi succeeded in seizing all the goods and cash. In order to hide people's eyes, he also deliberately left some traces commonly used by Su Xing, intending to blame Su Xing for this operation.
However, Dang Xunqi did not know that just as he was complacent about this success, an even larger conspiracy was quietly unfolding behind him. The queen bee had already murdered him, and she would get rid of him as soon as he completed the charter mission.
When Dang Xunqi approached Boss Zhuang again with the stolen money, the latter, although his face was gloomy, he reluctantly agreed to the request to charter the boat. Dang Xunqi thought that he had finally overcome the difficulties, but he did not know that this was only the beginning of a series of crises that he was about to face.
Just when Dang Xunqi was relieved that he was about to complete the task, he suddenly received a mysterious phone call. The voice on the other end of the line was low and cold, warning him to be careful with those around him, especially those who seemed to be his most reliable companions. This warning plunged Dang Xunqi into deep confusion and unease.
In a nondescript office building in Central, Hong Kong, Zhang Shaomu is looking down on the night view of Victoria Harbour. His hands are crossed behind his back, and his posture seems to be leisurely, but in fact it hides murderous intentions. As the queen bee, Zhang Shaomu has been controlling this thrilling spy war game behind the scenes.
At the same time that Dang Xunqi was running around for renting a boat, Zhang Shaomu had already begun to lay out a plan to get rid of the leader of the action group. He turned around and walked to his desk and picked up a file with the words "Dang Xunqi" written on it. Zhang Shaomu opened the file and carefully reviewed all the records of Dang Xunqi's actions.
In Zhang Shaomu's view, Dang Xunqi has become an unstable factor. Especially after learning that Tong Sheng reappeared in Hong Kong, Zhang Shaomu strengthened his determination to get rid of Dang Xunqi. He clearly remembered that it was Dang Xunqi who killed Tong Jiangnan's wife on the street in order to threaten Tong Jiangnan to get the test data—a scene that happened to be witnessed by the young Tong Sheng.
Zhang Shaomu turned to the safe in the corner of the room, entered the password, and took out a yellowed document. This is Tong Jiangnan's test data many years ago, and it is also his bargaining chip all along. However, with the advent of Tong Sheng, the value of this data seems to be gradually decreasing.
Zhang Shaomu picked up the phone and dialed a secret number. "Are you ready?" He asked in a low voice, "When Dang Xunqi rents a boat, he will act immediately." There was an affirmative answer on the other end of the line.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Shaomu walked to the window and looked into the distance. He remembered the scene when he first met Tong Sheng in Chongqing many years ago. At that time, he was just an ordinary student of Tong Jiangnan. In order to get close to Tong Sheng, he chose to follow Tong Jiangnan from Chongqing to Shanghai and then to Hong Kong. For so many years, he has been secretly in love with Tong Sheng, but he has never been able to confess.
However, the situation has now changed. Tong Sheng not only did not choose to leave Hong Kong, but reconnected with Su Xing. This made Zhang Shaomu feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. He was afraid that Su Xing would find out his true identity, and he was even more worried that Tong Sheng would affect Tong Jiangnan's decision.
Zhang Shaomu walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a photo. The photo shows Tong Jiangnan and his wife when he was young, and next to him is an innocent little girl - Tong Sheng. He gently stroked the photo, a hint of mixed emotions flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in and reported the latest situation: "Sir, our people have successfully stolen the test data from Tong Jiangnan's house. "
Zhang Shaomu nodded, "Very good, so that Tong Jiangnan can be forced to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible." He paused, and then asked, "Is there any movement over there Tong Sheng?" "
The secretary shook his head, "Not yet, but our people have been closely monitoring her movements. "
Zhang Shaomu pondered for a moment and said, "Strengthen the monitoring of Tong Sheng, and if she has any abnormal behavior, report it to me immediately." "
After the secretary was ordered to leave, Zhang Shaomu walked to the window again. He knows that every step that comes next is crucial. On the one hand, he must get rid of Dang Xunqi as soon as possible to eliminate the potential threat; On the other hand, he also needs to find a way to control Tong Jiangnan and ensure that the test data does not fall into the hands of others.
Zhang Shaomu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently. His gaze looked into the distance, as if contemplating his next move. Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. Zhang Shaomu picked up the phone, and an anxious voice came from the receiver: "Sir, it's not good!" We lost Tong Sheng! "
This news made Zhang Shaomu's face instantly gloomy. He put down the teacup, and there was obvious anger in his voice: "Mobilize all the hands immediately, you must find her!" "
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shaomu walked quickly to the door. He knew that things were moving in an uncontrollable direction. If Tong Sheng can't be found as soon as possible, everything he has carefully planned may fall short.
Just when Zhang Shaomu was about to go out to find Tong Sheng in person, he suddenly thought of a possibility: Tong Sheng was likely to have made contact with Su Xing. The thought sent him shudders. If that's the case, then his identity could soon be revealed.
Zhang Shaomu quickly sorted out his clothes and decided to go to the police station first. He must understand Su Xing's movements as soon as possible, and at the same time ensure that Li Wenbo, an undercover agent, is still under his control. Time is ticking, and this intricate spy game seems to be moving in a direction that no one can predict.
In a dimly lit office at the Hong Kong Police Headquarters, Mr. Li was nervously sorting through documents. As an undercover agent lurking inside the police, he is careful in every move, for fear of revealing his feet. However, a series of recent events have made him feel more pressure than ever.
Just the day before, Li Wenbo received an urgent task from his superiors: to verify a piece of information about Dang Xunqi. This information suggests that Dang Xunqi may have defected and become a spy for the other side. Li Wenbo knew that if this news was true, then the security of the entire organization would be threatened.
Li Wenbo opened the file on the table and carefully read all the records about Dang Xunqi. He found that Dang Xunqi's behavior in recent months was indeed somewhat unusual. Frequent secret meetings and large transfers of funds made Li Wenbo feel uneasy.
Just as Li Wenbo was digging deeper, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open. His partner, Officer Chen, walked in with a hint of doubt on his face: "Sir Li, what case have you been investigating recently?" Why do you always work overtime so late? "
Li Wenbo pretended to be calm and casually made up a reason: "Oh, I'm just sorting out some old case files, nothing special." "
Officer Chen nodded, seeming to accept the explanation. But just as he turned to leave, he suddenly asked, "By the way, have you heard?" Recently, there have been rumors that we may have internal demons within us. "
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Li Wenbo tense his nerves instantly. He resisted the fluctuations in his heart and pretended to be careless and asked, "Oh? Is there such a thing? Where did you hear that? "
Officer Chen shrugged: "It's just hearsay." However, it seems that the above is taking this matter very seriously, and I heard that a secret investigation has begun. "
After sending Officer Chen away, Li Wenbo immediately contacted his contact. He must find out as soon as possible who exactly leaked the news of the inner ghost. However, the reply given by the contact made him even more uneasy: "The wind has been tight lately, you have to be careful." Word goes that the higher-ups may have started to suspect you. "
This news made Li Wenbo sit on pins and needles. He knew he had to act quickly, or he would end up in a situation from which he would never recover.
At this moment, Li Wenbo suddenly thought of a solution. He decided to use his position within the police to take the initiative to take over the investigation of Dang Xunqi. In this way, he can not only grasp the movements of the police, but also take the opportunity to find out other important information.
Early the next morning, Li Wenbo made this suggestion to his superiors. Unexpectedly, his proposal was quickly approved. This made Li Wenbo a little puzzled, could it be that his superiors really had no doubts about himself?
With this question in mind, Li Wenbo began an investigation into Dang Xunqi. He first consulted the records of Dang Xunqi's recent activities, and then secretly visited several informants who had contact with Dang Xunqi.
However, just as the investigation was getting deeper, Li Wenbo suddenly found that he seemed to be being followed. Whenever he went out to investigate, he always felt that a pair of eyes were secretly staring at him. This feeling of being watched made Li Wenbo feel pressured.
One night, when Li Wenbo was about to leave the police station, he suddenly received a strange phone call. The voice on the other end of the phone was low and cold: "Li Wenbo, I know who you are." If you don't want to reveal your identity, do as I say. "
This call made Li Wenbo instantly break out in a cold sweat. He realized that his situation was more dangerous than he had imagined. Who is the other party? Did the police discover his true identity, or did a traitor appear within the organization?
Just when Li Wenbo was in a dilemma, he suddenly received an unexpected visitor. Tong Sheng, the mysterious woman he had only seen in photos, took the initiative to find the door.
The appearance of Tong Sheng added another layer of fog to this intricate spy war. She told Li Wenbo that she had some key information that could help him get out of danger. But in exchange, she asked Li Wenbo to help her investigate one thing — the disappearance of her father, Tong Jiangnan.
Faced with Tong Sheng's proposal, Li Wenbo fell into deep hesitation. He didn't know whether he should trust the woman who suddenly appeared, and he wasn't sure if accepting her help would cause him more trouble.
Just when Li Wenbo was hesitating, the phone in the office suddenly rang. It is an emergency call order from the police headquarters, and all police officers must be present immediately. This sudden order made Li Wenbo's situation even more complicated. He has to make a decision in a short time: should he follow Tong Sheng's advice, or do he follow the orders of the police department?
As the clock ticked by, Li Wenbo knew that he was about to face a major decision that could change the entire situation. And this choice is not only related to his own life and death, but also may affect the direction of the entire special operation.
In an old apartment on the shores of Victoria Harbour, Tong Sheng is staring out the window at the bustling night scene. She clutched a yellowed photograph of her father, Tong Jiangnan, and her mother. That bloody night fifteen years ago haunted her like a nightmare.
Tong Sheng turned and walked to the desk in the corner of the room, on which were spread out several documents and a heavy notebook. Here are all the clues she has collected over the years about the disappearance of her father and the murder of her mother. One of the most striking is a confidential document on the "Hive Project", which was Tong Jiangnan's last research project during his lifetime.
Just the day before, Tong Sheng finally learned an important news through his network: Li Wenbo, an undercover agent lurking inside the police, may have key information. She decided to venture out into Li Wenbo, hoping to get more clues from him.
Tong Sheng picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed a secret number. A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, what's new?" "
"Su Xing, I found Li Wenbo." Tong Sheng said briefly, "I need your help. "
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a soft sigh came: "Tong Sheng, are you sure you want to do this?" It's dangerous. "
"I don't have a choice." Tong Sheng replied firmly, "This may be my last chance." "
After hanging up the phone, Tong Sheng began to prepare for the next action. She opened the closet and pulled out a black box from the bottom. The box contained a pistol and several forged documents. These are all things she prepared for this day.
Just as Tong Sheng was about to go out, the doorbell suddenly rang. She looked vigilantly through the cat's eye and saw that it was a strange middle-aged man. The man claimed to be Tong Jiangnan's old acquaintance and said that he had something important to tell her.
Tong Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to open the door. However, the moment the door opened, the man suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed her. With years of training, Tong Sheng quickly dodged and counterattacked, and finally subdued the opponent.
"Who sent you?" Tong Sheng asked coldly, the gun in his hand pressed against the man's temple.
The man trembled and said a name that shocked Tong Sheng: "Zhang... Zhang Shaomu..."
The name struck Tong Sheng like a bolt of lightning. Zhang Shaomu, her father's most proud student, was also her childhood playmate. She never thought that he was the one behind all this.
Tong Sheng quickly tied up the man and began to search his belongings. In his pocket, she found a note with the address written on it. This address is familiar to her, and it is where Li Wenbo's office is located.
Tong Sheng realized that he had to find Li Wenbo faster than Zhang Shaomu. She quickly packed the necessary items and quietly left the apartment.
On the way to the police headquarters, Tong Sheng recalled her experiences over the years. After her mother was killed, she was sent to live abroad, but she never gave up on finding the truth. She learns a variety of skills and builds her own intelligence network so that one day she can find out the truth and get justice for her parents.
After arriving at the police headquarters, Tong Sheng successfully infiltrated the building using forged documents. She carefully avoided the patrolling guards, and finally came to the door of Li Wenbo's office.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard a heated argument coming from the office. Tong Sheng put his ear to the door and vaguely heard the words "Hive Project" and "Tong Jiangnan". Her heart raced, and she knew she might be about to reveal a corner of the truth.
Tong Sheng took a deep breath and pushed open the office door. She was shocked by the scene before her: Ms. Li was scuffling with another man, and her desk was littered with a large number of papers, among which were pictures of her father.
"Stop!" Tong Sheng shouted loudly and raised the gun in his hand at the same time.
The two men stopped their movements and looked at Tong Sheng who suddenly appeared in surprise. Li Wenbo recognized her, and a complicated expression appeared on his face: "You are... Tong Sheng? "
Just then, the alarm sounded suddenly. The entire police headquarters was in chaos. Tong Sheng knew that she had to leave as soon as possible before she was discovered. But the situation in front of her made it impossible for her to give up easily.
"Li Wenbo, I need to know the truth. About my father, about the Hive Project, about everything. Tong Sheng said firmly, "You have two choices now: either follow me and tell me everything; Either stay and face the police for questioning. "
Li Wenbo looked at Tong Sheng, then at the unconscious man on the ground, and finally made a decision: "I'll go with you." "
In this way, Tong Sheng and Li Wenbo took advantage of the chaos to quietly leave the police headquarters. They knew that an even more thrilling adventure awaited them next. And Tong Sheng also knows that she is one step closer to uncovering the mystery of her father's disappearance and the truth about her mother's murder. What she doesn't know, however, is that this truth may be more brutal and complex than she thinks.
In an abandoned factory in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong, Tong Sheng and Li Wenbo nervously check documents brought from the police headquarters. In the dim light, the faces of the two were full of exhaustion and nervousness.
"The documents mention the 'Hive Project,'" Mr. Li said, pointing to one of the documents, "but the specific content seems to have been deliberately deleted." "
Tong Sheng flipped through the documents carefully, and suddenly found a familiar handwriting on a yellowed piece of paper. "This is my father's note!" She exclaimed, "There was a string of numbers and letters written on it, and it seemed to be some kind of password." "
Just then, the sound of a car engine was heard outside the factory. The two stood up alertly and quickly gathered up their papers.
"We have to get out of here," Mr. Li whispered, "and the police may have tracked it down." "
The two slipped out of the back door and slipped into a car that had been prepared for a long time. The car sped away and disappeared into the street late at night.
A few hours later, they arrived at the edge of the Kowloon Walled City. It was once a place outside the law, but although it has been demolished, some old buildings still exist around it.
Tong Sheng took Li Wenbo to a seemingly ordinary old house. She knocked lightly on the door three times, paused for a moment, and knocked twice. The door slowly opened, revealing an old man with gray hair.
"Uncle Su," Tong Sheng said softly, "we need your help." "
Su Xing, Tong Jiangnan's old friend, is also Tong Sheng's most trusted person over the years. He let the two of them into the house and double-checked that there were no suspicious people around before closing the door.
"What did you bring with you?" Su Xing asked.
Tong Sheng handed over the documents he brought out from the police headquarters and his father's notes to Su Xing. The old man put on his reading glasses and looked at them carefully.
"This password..."Su Xing paused suddenly, "I remember your father once mentioned it. He said it was the key to opening the 'hive'. "
"'Hive'? What is that? Li Wenbo asked.
Su Xing took a deep breath and said slowly, "The 'Hive Project' is a secret project that your father and Zhang Shaomu are jointly researching. It involves a new kind of information encryption technology that, if successful, will revolutionize the global information security landscape. "
Tong Sheng and Li Wenbo glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
"But," Su Xing continued, "just as the project was about to be completed, your father suddenly disappeared. Zhang Shaomu claims that your father defected with research results, but I have never believed this claim. "
Tong Sheng clenched his fists: "So, Zhang Shaomu is the real traitor?" "
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house. Su Xing quickly hid the documents and motioned for the two to hide in the back room.
The door was kicked open, and several heavily armed men rushed in. The leader is Zhang Shaomu.
"Long time no see, Old Su." Zhang Shaomu sneered and said, "It seems that you are still as stubborn as before." "
Su Xing looked at Zhang Shaomu calmly: "You betrayed Tong Jiangnan and betrayed all of us." "
Zhang Shaomu's expression became hideous: "I'm just finishing our research!" It was Tong Jiangnan himself who gave up this opportunity to change the world! "
Just as Zhang Shaomu was about to continue, a gunshot suddenly interrupted him. Li Wenbo rushed out of hiding and shot Zhang Shaomu in the shoulder.
In the chaos, Tong Sheng also rushed out, she quickly grabbed a gangster's weapon, and fought back to back with Li Wenbo.
The fierce shootout lasted several minutes, and eventually, Zhang Shaomu and his men were subdued. At this moment, the sirens sounded from far and near.
"It's the police!" Li Wenbo exclaimed.
Tong Sheng looked at Su Xing, then at Zhang Shaomu, who was subdued, and made a difficult decision: "We will hand them over to the police." It's time for the truth to come out. "
The police who arrived later arrested Zhang Shaomu and others. At the scene, they also found a large number of classified documents about the "Hive Project", as well as evidence of Zhang Shaomu's murder of Tong Jiangnan.
A few days later, in an office at the police headquarters, Tong Sheng finally saw her long-awaited investigation report. The report details how Zhang Shaomu betrayed Tong Jiangnan, murdered her mother, and tried to monopolize the entire process of the "Hive Project".
To Tong Sheng's surprise, however, the report also mentions an important piece of information: her father, Tong Jiangnan, may still be alive and continuing his research somewhere in the world.
The news made Tong Sheng feel both surprised and confused. She knew that meant her mission wasn't over yet. She must continue to find her father and uncover the full truth about the "Hive Project".
Just as Tong Sheng was about to leave the police headquarters, Li Wenbo stopped her.
"What are you going to do next?" He asked.
Tong Sheng looked out the window at Victoria Harbour and said firmly: "Continue to look for my father and finish his unfinished business." "
Li Wenbo nodded: "Then, I'll be with you." "
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw determination in each other's eyes. They know that there is still a long way to go, but as long as they work together, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.
