Zhang Xuening (Zhou Xun), agent 200 with the communist 701 Bureau, receives a coded telegram from Shanghai that the US is planning to make a Chinese missile engineer, codenamed Sparrow (Jacob Cheung), "disappear". Sparrow, who previously worked in the US, is now back in Hong Kong and is planning to defect to Beijing the next day. At a farewell party for him that night, Xuening spirits Sparrow away. At 701 Bureau's HQ in southern China, Xuening is instructed by its head, known as Devil (Wang Xuebing), to bring back from Shanghai a famous piano tuner, Luo Saner, whose acute sense of pitch could help the bureau's radio-monitoring division find the frequencies now being used by KMT agents for military information. In Shanghai, she rescues instead Luo's blind assistant, He Bing (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), who has a much more highly developed sense of hearing, and brings him back to 701's HQ. He Bing manages to discover over 70 radio channels in a couple of days, which provide intelligence that KMT agents are gathering in China's major cities, including Shanghai. He Bing develops a liking for Xuening, though she has feelings for her boss, Devil. When 701 agent Wu Chang (Dong Yuan) is killed in Shanghai while following KMT agent Zhang Guoxiang (Lam Wai), Devil suspects there are still some undiscovered radio channels being used by the KMT for advanced codes. He Bing finds them, and learns that the head of the whole KMT spying operation is codenamed Chongqing. While Xuening is away on a long mission in Shanghai, He Bing marries Shen Jing (Mavis Fan), a decipher clerk whose father is head of the KMT's Deciphering Unit. When Xuening returns, she brings with her a doctor who can cure He Bing's blindness. Soon afterwards she leaves for a deadly mission in Shanghai, to track down Chongqing.
