Episode 010
Dear Brother An Neng, how do you do?
I've heard that your division is already heading south,
I wonder if you'll still be able to receive this letter
and if the wound on your back has healed.
I'm really worried about you.
You are my life saviour.
I really hope that we could meet again
after the country has been liberated.
I want to meet with you again so that I can express my gratitude
and my great admiration for you, to you in person.
I give you my salute.
Miss Zhai Li, how do you do?
I've received your letter.
The wound on my back has healed.
It's recovered very well. Thank you for your concern.
It won't be long before all of China can be liberated.
When that day comes,
there won't be any more war or terror.
Everything will get better.
I hope that day comes as soon as possible.
I hope that we can meet again
in a peaceful and blissful time. An Neng.
My wills were written for you anyway.
If only there were a way to put them in there
Hey,
where are you putting that?
To whom is your will addressed to?
None of your business
Well my will is only written for you
Why not save the trouble and just give it to you now?
You're not going to die
Don't worry you can't die either.
Who is she writing to?
Well, she might just be entertaining herself.
Is everyone prepared?
Ready!
Follow the originalpPlan. Pan Sen!
Present!
You and your two comrades from the operational division
scout ahead and ensure our safety
Zhai Li, Han Bing.
You will ride with the cargo
Zhao Qirong - Present!
- You're in the rear car with me. We will form the rear guard - Yes!
Let me stress
that everyone must be on high alert.
Stay in communication.
If anything happens,
we must communicate and deal with the problem together.
Understood?
Understood!
it is now 6:30pm. Everyone, check your watches.
We will leave in 5 minutes!
Yes, sir!
Chief An,
now that I'm carrying all the rime but never get to shoot
I'm honestly getting a little itch.
Did you feel like this on your first mission?
You wanted something exciting to happen, am I right?
Stop talking like that, it's bad luck.
Got it.
Big Head?
What do you think you're doing?
I thought about it for the entire night. If you're going to bring me back to Ningzhou, you have to do it now.
Rong Jinzhen!
I promised you yesterday to bring you back after I complete my mission.
But the wake is today. If you're delayed by your mission,
then the wake would be over.
That's going on?
Rong Jinzhen, I command you to get off the car!
No! I must go back!
Do you know what kind of behaviour is this?
I don't care! I'm going back even if it means being punished!
Let me tell you Rong Jinzhen. If I take you with me now, it won't just be one person who will be punished,
but also myself and Zhao Qirong
We will all be punished for doing wrong.
Hey, what has this got to do with me?
Why will I be punished together with you?
Zhao Qirong, of course it has to do with you.
How does it concern me?
The principal is dead.
An Neng, we have already left the maingate.
But we haven't seen you. Please confirm your location.
Once you hear this, please reply.
I got it, we are coming.
Understood.
Rong Jinzhen, I promise to take you,
but you must promise me,
for this task,
you must stay in the car, and not go anywhere.
After we finish the mission, I will take you back.
Thank you.
When I think of this moment,
I don't think I should have taken you to 701.
I should also have stayed at the university.
I remember when I just entered the university, my family was poor.
When the principal found out,
from then on,
every month, from the school financial department, I could
receive two dollars subsidy.
I later found out
this money
came directly from the principal's salary.
I got $72 total.
I never got a chance to return that money.
Put the masks on.
Reporting, Chief An.
I contacted our people in Ning Zhou.
They've prepared everything and are waiting for us.
Do we disembark now?
Yes. Everyone stay on alert.
After the things leaves the station, we must load it onto the vehicle quickly.
Leave the city area in the shortest possible time and get to our safe zone.
Yes!
Rong Jinzhen.
Stay in the car. You promised me.
This isn't a game. Your promised me, now follow through.
We won't have much time, can you do it?
We'll have to see.
Security's too tight, we don't have a shot.
Contact everyone downstairs. Follow them and look for an opportunity on the road.
Yes!

Rong Jinzhen, please rest assured.
After we arrive safely at Unit 701 and unload,
I will send you home.
That's okay, you don't need to. This place is not far from home.
I can go back by myself.
I won't hold you up.
No, I cannot let you go by yourself.
Don't worry, you will make it in time to see him.
In memory of the principal
These students are going to attend the principal's memorial service.
We should take advantage of this opportunity.
No we cannot.
They are too far away.
Rong Jinzhen, you promised me.
-Big Head -Rong Jinzhen
Big Head.
Let's go.
Rong Jinzhen, what are you doing?
Quick, chase him.
Stay here, don't go anywhere!
Give way.
Quick, let's go!
-Where is An Neng?-He went after Big Head.
Go!
Hurry!
Don't move.
Let me do it myself.
Fortunately, you just got a scratch on your arm from the shrapnel.
If it had went 5 cm further to the right,
it would have hit your heart.
5 cm for a sharpshooter
is the difference between a pro and an amateur. Looks like I still have a long time to live.
The god of death won't take me.
Two missions, two bullets.
Now, I owe you one more life.
Don't be so serious.
At the most, you only owe me a scar.
Since you're not afraid of getting scarred and becoming ugly, you can pay it back to me at another time.
Hey, look.
What are you crying for? I'm fine, all right?
Where's Rong Jinzhen?
He's dead.
The electron tubes have been stolen. The technician was killed,
and you are wounded.
All because of him, he's a jinx.
If it goes on like this, you'll lose your life sooner or later!
Look you just said you owe me your life.
Now you are blaming Rong Jinzhen. That's not fair.
Why shouldn't I blame him?
An Neng, do you know how serious this is?
If this happens again, have you thought of what may happen?
There's no one here.
Scram!
Rong Jinzhen! Didn't I tell you to go away?
It's my fault the mission was a failure.
What responsibility should you take?
Let's wait for the director to investigate before handing out your punishment.
I order you to immediately go back to 701.
I will take care of the situation here.
-Chief Lei-Get out
I told you to get out.
Tell me,
why was Rong Jinzhen with you?
I bought him with me. His principal passed away.
I wanted to take him to the wake.
This is a failure on my part.
Oh, so you're aware that you've been very foolish?
An Neng, don't you think you should change a bit.
I don't think I need to change at all.
I just hope you will give me a chance.
When I go back to 701 I will accept whatever punishment the director gives me.
I will be willing to accept any punishment that the institute wishes to put me through.
Listen to me Rong Jinzhen.
Starting from today, stay away from An Neng.
If you don't do that, I'll be breaking more than just a clay pot the next time.
I will shoot you.
Target has been retrieved.
Target is locked on. Waiting for instructions.
This road is a dead end.
After this road, there is a side road.
Yesterday, there was the principal's wake.
There were a lot of people where it would be easy to have a clash.
So they won't choose this road.
So the road they are likely to choose
may be this road or this road.
The model is M1917, the bullet is
0.3cm M1 heavy cartridge
or M2 cartridge.
- The initial speed of fire is per second...- 854 meters.
American words.
Black Chevrolet. The plate number is...
09-01201.
The man who was driving
stands at 180cm.
Body weight is roughly 75kg.
The one who took away the computer is most likely the ring leader.
Height is roughly 176cm tall.
Thinking back...
What does he look like?
I couldn't see. The car was gone.
Wait a minute.
I think a student may have seen him.
There was a camera in his hands.
He must have taken a photo of the man.
Report!
Pass down the orders. All the 16 checkpoints in Ning Zhou are to be at level 1 alert immediately.
-Research all the information -Yes, sir.
Section Chief An Neng!
Why are you here?
I want to give you some chicken soup.
Did you wait here the whole night?
No, I cooked the chicken soup at 4am this morning.
Then I came here to wait.
I wanted to go in to give it to you,
but I didn't dare.
Because of what I did, everyone had to stay up late.
I can't help you all.
Don't fret. Believe in me.
I can retrieve the computer.
Thank you. You go back and rest.
I can't sleep.
Seeing the principal again,
we were already separated by death.
I cannot describe the pain in my heart.
If the principal knew I went against the rules to come see him,
he would have been really disappointed
I really missed home,
but I couldn't go home
because I couldn't bother Chief An again.
Chief An.
I found this photo at Ning Zhou University.
The one Zhai Li was talking about was not a student, but a reporter.
The reporter just happened to be assigned there.
This is the crime scene.
The reason Ning Zhou University's reporter
was able to take such a clear photo of this person's face
is because the car slowed down when they arrived at this point.
We can see from the photo very clearly.
That is person was communicating to someone directly opposite him.
He received instructions to escape eastwards.
This person is not the real commander.
The commander should be the person he was looking at.
We spoke to many people,
and looked at all the photos that the reporter took.
We did not find any clues regarding this person.
In addition, the two black Chevrolet that they drove
were found nearby. The cars were completely burnt.
They did not leave any clues behind.
There is also no progress on our investigation work.
However, in Ning Zhou's long-distance bus station,
train station, and important exit routes, we have set up guards.
So, I guess the electron tube
should still be in Ning Zhou city area.
We need to find this person.
This is our only clue for now.
Hawk Eye reported that he succeeded.
He finally did something that did not let me down.
The Ning Zhou police has deployed people all over the city to find the electron tube.
It seems like Unit 701 also deployed many people to come down from the mountain.
They are using Hua Shan Road police station as a base.
They launched a secret investigation on the matter.
Hawk Eye asked for instructions. This is an urgent situation.
He hopes to ship out the electron tube as soon as possible.
Send Hawk Eye an order. Tell him
not to move the things. Since they came down from the mountains,
we might as well set a fire,
and kill two birds with one stone.
I got too busy and forgot that there is still a landmine.
Later the campus vehicle will come and fetch Rong Jinzhen. Send him directly to solitary confinement.
Understood.
Rong Jinzhen! Who let you in here?
Do you hear me talking? Hurry up and leave!
He is the person on the wanted list and he was the one that took it.
Useless words! Who doesn't know that.
Rong Jinzhen. What do you have to say?
He was here and he turned back to look at someone.
I saw that person!
That person even gave a signal to him.
Then he returned another signal.
Hwa San Road Police Station.
Anyhow, this person
had eyes like this,
a nose like this
and his face was like this.
Comrade, it's been 2 hours
you said his face was like this
then his eyes and nose like this.
What does he actually look like!
How am I suppose to draw this?
Rong Jinzhen, don't rush. Try to slowly remember details.
Tell Mr. Wu more details of what you mean.
I...
I think.
I want to go to the restroom.
Go. Go.
