Features: This is a hidden story from the 1960s. Against the backdrop of extreme tension across the Taiwan Strait, a naval power expert living in Europe takes a detour through Hong Kong to return to China and assist the navy in manufacturing a new type of submarine, only to nearly be assassinated by Taiwan's intelligence agency. Thus, a contest of wit and courage unfolds beneath the of calmness. My counterintelligence expert Xu Zifeng, along with his female agents Lan Meiqin and Luo Zhan, with their extraordinary intelligence and courage, foil one after another of the enemy's traps and schemes, employing various counterintelligence tactics and methods, finally successfully digging out the Taiwanese spy within our ranks. The work is full of mystery, rigorous deduction, and an engaging plot. But the author clearly is not satisfied with this alone. In this work, the intricate and clever story serves more as a vehicle. Through this novel and distinctive narrative, the author profoundly portrays the complex and real spiritual world and emotional experiences of the heroes on the counterintelligence front, as well as the unspeakable immense pressure they have to endure in such a special profession that demands lifelong secrecy of national secrets, and the inexorable great sacrifices they must make. That distant era has passed, and the stories of the counterintelligence heroes are fading into silence with the passage of time. Their struggles and achievements, along with their oaths of loyalty to the nation, may forever remain undisclosed.
