1936: From Scum to Spy King

July 1936, Xi'an. After the sacrifice of National Security Bureau agent "Candle Dragon," he transmigrates into the outer-circle waste of the Revival Society, "Lu Shitou"—a sixteen-year-old orphan who had just hanged himself. Relying on modern agent skills, he sees through a counter-surveillance trap during a stakeout mission, transforming from expendable material into a pawn in the eyes of station chief Zhou Shouzheng. But he soon discovers he has stepped into a deeper and more bottomless pit than the internal strife of the Military Statistics Bureau: the captured CCP special envoy Qin Yuanshan is the Japanese spy "Green Paulownia," deputy station chief Mr. Feng is a nail planted by the Japanese army within the Military Statistics Bureau, and behind the Nanjing secret order demanding the transfer of the prisoner hides a secret telegram addressed to Dai Li. Even more astonishing, another transmigrator—the backup agent of "Candle Dragon"—appears in Xi'an, and the two, one overt and one covert, join forces to close the net. And the real fish is the confidential secretary who has been lurking beside Dai Li for three years. Holding ironclad evidence of Mr. Feng's collaboration with Japan, capturing the double agent Qin Yuanshan alive, and secretly establishing a liaison channel with Yan'an, Lin Feng dances on a knife's edge in the crevices of four forces: the Revival Society, the Military Statistics Bureau, the CCP underground, and the Japanese Special Higher Police. There are still four months until the Xi'an Incident that will change everything. He has only one thing to do: transform himself from a disposable chess piece into a chess player whom no one dares to touch. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: 1936: From Scum to Spy King — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
