Decoded
Episode 017
The owner of the Ji Xiang Hostel, Jiang Ni Chen, Codename Flying Dragon,
joined the 76th troop.
Is in the special police department, works for the Japanese.
After the Japanese surrendered in 1945,
he joined the Investigation Department of the enemy troop.
He changed his name and coded many times in those years.
His hand has many party members blood on it.
After liberation, he followed the command from the enemy troop while
hidden in Ning Zhou as a businessman.
The enemy troop didn't see any action after the death of Eagle Eye.
These days, our spies in Ning Zhou,
found a couple of people who are acting strange.
They appeared in Rei Xiang Hostel one after another.
Flyer Dragon is replacing the Eagle Eye's vacancy.
The Rei Xiang Hostel is the enemy troop's
new base in Ning Zhou.
From all this, the couple of Bao Wei Ming told
the truth.
Yes, through the spy on them, Flying Dragon is their superior.
Also, he should be the manager of the enemy troop in Ning Zhou.
I am requesting to lead the team to attack the Rei Xiang Hostel.
Let's get rid of Flying Dragon and his team.
I object.
If we want to catch a big fish,
the real lure is not the Flying Dragon,
but Bao Wei Ming.
Pay attention.
After the death of the Eagle Eye, the enemy troop didn't send out even one telegram
that related to the Purple Code.
It's very possible that the enemy is looking at Bao Wei Ming as a telegrapher,
letting him replace Eagle Eye by continually sending the Purple Code telegrams.
The Flying Dragon is their manager, but I doubt
he may never be able to touch the Purple Code.
Let's assume, if the Flying Dragon touched the Purple Code,
what would be the reason the enemy troop invoked Bao Wei Ming?
So if we want to get rid of the Flying Dragon,
we will need to just catch a couple of hidden spies.
There is no benefit to decoding the Purple Code.
Tell me your plan.
Accepting the Liao Yue Jun's conditions will be better for us.
What do you mean?
As Liao Yue Jun said that they never met the Flying Dragon.
They don't know each other except for names.
Even now the Flying Dragon is still waiting for them. Within five days, they will report to Rei Xiang Hostel.
This means, we have two days and one night
to make up another Liao Yue Jun and Bao Wei Ming.
You mean to send our people instead to be the spies?
I know this is very dangerous, but I think
this is the best opportunity to get close to the Purple Code.
This plan is too brave.
If we can do it, who do you want to recommend?
Yes, I have.
Who?
Rong Jinzhen.
Crippled Zheng, Are you crazy?
I'm very alert.
Be careful.
Did you get the thing? -Money?
Check the thing first.
Really from Gui Yuan Zhai. -That's a must.
Is it fresh? Just came in.
How did you get it? You have the ways.
You don't need to care about this.
I have my special channels. You will need keep the secret.
Certainly.
Wait...
Getting to eat the bakery from Guang Yuan Zhai,
your little goddess really has the luck.
You also need to keep the secret. -I know.
How do you want your steak?
Up to you.
Then medium rare. - Ok
Let's toast.
Thank you, to you.
Thank me for what?
Thank you for begging Chief Liu for me.
Dang Zheng knows, the reason I can stay in 701 today
is because of Chief Liu.
I always pretend,
it's not because I like my position.
It's because we didn't decode the Purple Code, and I'm ashamed to leave.
One thing I don't know if you can tell me.
Why Chief Liu's last name is Liu, and your last name is Lei.
When my father was doing the underground tasks,
he used nine names, and Nu Liu was his last coded name.
He wants to remember this.
Thanks for helping me.
Today I invited you to come over, mainly I wanted you help me again .
Let Rong Jinzhen be the spy.
Yes, while in the Detention Room, I was thinking about Neng An.
I'm responsible for his death.
If I hadn't let him take good care of Rong Jinzhen.
If I didn't let him tell about the death of the principal,
maybe Rong Jinzhen wouldn't have gotten in the car that day.
Maybe that would not have impacted the task of accepting the Electronic Device.
Maybe he would not be dead.
But death means what?
No one in 701 wrote a will.
For decoding the Purple Code, this is the only thing I can do.
No other options.
Dang Zheng, you are a wolf.
You have brains and paws. You are brave enough.
But to scarifice, there are conditions.
Rong Jingzhen is not a wolf.
He is a goat. He only eats grass.
By you letting him become a spy,
is like sending a goat to a tiger's month. (send him to die.)
My duty is
to train Rong Jinzhen, the goat, to become a wolf.
Listen to me.
Let Rong Jinzhen become Bao Wei Ming.
During this task, he is the main role. Li Zai can react fast and she will be Yue Jun Liu.
Her task is to protect Rong Jinzhen and keep him safe.
Your ideas are so outrageous,
I have thought it through.
Currently, Rong Jinzhen is the person most likely to decode the Purple Code.
Let him become the spy to create an opportunity for him to be closer to the Purple Code.
For this reason, he should be the spy.
Ting Lei, we don't have much time.
Two of them still need to take the urgent training.
I beg you help me again.
You waited for a long time?
You decoded it?
I'm from the Decode Department. How can I not understand Morse Code?
Yes, you are smart. - No,
it's not me who is smart, but you are dumb.
Using Morse Code to code, who from 701 wouldn't able to decode that?
What if someone else saw it?
Yes, yes.
You have something to tell me?
Not much.
Just...
I heard you like the desserts from the Guang Yuan Zhai Bakery
So I ..
asked other people got a box for you.
From Guang Yuan Zhai?
How did you get it?
Just through other people.
So well!
You like it? Then I will buy you more later.
Forget it, it's too expensive.
You only make a little money every month. A couple of boxes will cost you it all.
It's just money, I don't need to feed other people.
I will buy as many as I can afford.
Here.
What is it?
Code book, I made it
If you need to write message for me, use this to Code.
9251, 4157, 8669
9251, 4157, Thanks a lot
I need to become a spy along side Rong JinZhen?
I object.
This is an order.
Your task is to get into the role as soon as possible.
Get familiar with all of the information about Liao Yue Jun and Bao Wei Ming,
in order to assist Rong Jinzhen Rong during the underground work.
Assist him? Manager Lei, can the department think of another candidate?
There is no way I can play a couple with Rong Jinzhen.
Let me repeat it, this is an order.
Then can I spy alone?
I think if I must work together with Rong Jinzhen, there will be more chances to be exposed.
Is there any way to let Bao Wei Ming stay away?
For example, he has to be on an urgent trip and couldn't make it.
Or he has passed away and Liao Yue Jun has been a widow for years.
There is no such possibility.
Take a seat.
The reason the enemy invoked this couple,
is mainly because Bao Wei Ming is a telegrapher.
If Liao Yue Jun goes along, she will never get to see the Purple Code.
So you must go together with Rong Jinzhen as a couple.
Be there together.
No, definitely no.
I can't play roles, I also can't play a couple.
Plus Li Zhai will be playing the wife,
I definitely can't fulfill this task.
You'd better replace me.
I beg you.
Take a seat.
.
Want to take revenge for Neng An?
Yes.
Want to decode the Purple Code?
Yes.
Very good.
This time we send you to be the spy,
because there is a big chance you will see the Purple Code.
But I am scared every time I see Li Zhai.
That Bao Wei Ming also fears his wife.
You must be confident.
I will help you.

People's look depends on what they wear, and the horse depends on their seating.
You look pretty similar wearing my old clothes.
Just younger looking.
What if I stick on a fake beard?
This is our resume I wrote overnight.
The two of you, read it thoroughly.
This is our album.
This was taken when we just met.
He looked dumb, right?
I looked down on him at that time.
I let him sleep on the ground at night.
During the daytime, we have to pretend as a couple.
I don't know since when,
he started to sleep in my bed instead of the ground.
We truly became a couple.
Your daughter is beautiful.
She is three years old.
Take it. - A Needle?
Take it. Why do I need a needle?
You have diabetes. -You have diabetes.
I have diabetes.
Learn from me, learn how to do the needles first.
That's biological salt water. You can use it for trial runs.
Come on.
This is part of the training.
What if we get inside to do the shot?
There is woman here, not convenient.
Do it here.
There is woman here, not convenient.
Dang Zheng, don't you feel they should play a couple.
You will need to give additional lessons to Rong Jinzhen?
Hey.
The first needle, I will help you.
You did well.
I need to ask you. Regarding the general knowledge of a couple's (sex) life,
how much do you know?
What's a couple's (sex) life?
You will need to read this book as soon as possible.
Human Biology Fundamentals
What's the relationship between the Human Biology Fundamentals and a couple's (sex) life?
Okay, I will teach you a big tip.
Unless it's the critical time with no other choices, don't use it.
Come closer.
Do you remember?
However, I still don't understand.
Some things you don't need to understand.
You just pretend, then it's okay.
Be careful.
Shoe cleaning.
Okay
Try my eggplant.
My wife really loves eating the eggplants I cook.
It's a bit plain.
Is it plain?
It is a bit plain. I was trying to make it suitable for their tastes.
Please don't be so polite. Hurry and eat.
Okay.

Try some more.
This is a normal flavour.
The main point is that you should try my main dish.
Braised pork.
Today's meat is not bad.
If it's not bad, then eat some more.
Come.
You guys don't need to wait. Eat as well.
What's wrong?
Pick up food for me
Why? Don't you have chopsticks?
I am your wife.
This meat I won't eat. You eat it by yourself, take it away.
I also won't eat it. It's too oily.
I'm going to go crazy.
Zheng Dan, are you sure Rong Jinzhen can play the part of the husband?
Be patient.
Aren't you eating it now? Take this piece too.
What are you laughing about? Is it funny?
Look, well done. This is how I torture him.
Teach me more, please
Zheng Dan this won't work.
Don't be rash. The best way of cheating is when the cheater themselves believe it's the truth.
Rong Jinzhen is a simple-minded person.
Look like he even learnt to pick food for Zhai Li.
Just as long as he believes Zhai Li is his wife,
then he will soon get into the role we planned.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
It's all ready?
Repeat the orders.
While being a spy, be flexible and alert, do whatever it takes.
To help Rong Jinzhen get close to the Purple Code.
What if you encounter an unexpected situations, what will you do?
In urgent situations, sacrifice myself.
I promise I will look after the safety of Rong Jinzhen.
Please do that for me!
This is your new citizenship registration
Zhou Ke will take you to the Cheng Du.
Your daughter is already there waiting for you.
The job and house are already prepared for you.
We also contacted the hospital
to perform the expert diagnosis for you. Hope you get well soon.
Thank you.
Thank you to the team for giving us an opportunity to start again.
From now on we won't have nightmares any more.
You must believe in us.
I also want to thank you for helping us with our work.
Chief Lei I have something to say.
Tell me.
Your male comrade, even if he is handsome,
he doesn't seem to be too bright.
He will be a spy and will be as dangerous as dancing on the tip of a knife.
Please think about it throughly.
Don't worry.
See you.
We lived here for 6 years,
I feel sad to go.
It's better to leave.
From now on,
we won't suffer any more doing underground works.
We can finally be normal people
Each day will be better than the last
Rong Jinzhen, you will need to remember solidly.
After you exit this building, Zhai Li will be your wife.
Chief Zhang, your meaning is
from now on Zhai Li is my wife.
Yes, that's correct.
Then I have one request.
Speak.
This,
I promised my principal's wife, that if I take a wife, I will give her this to wear.
Please wear it.
Chief Zheng this has nothing to do with me.
I don't think this is necessary.
Chief Zheng already said, as soon as we leave this building,
you are my wife.
Zhai Li, wear it.

Reporting, Flying Dragon. Bao Wei Ming reporting.
I gave you five days,
why did you only come on the last day?
We had to do a handoff at our work and home,
otherwise it would have been too sudden to leave and would have caused doubts.
You seem to be missing a gift.
I've already prepared it for you.

Not every day. It's every meal!
Diabetes is like that.
Sorry, excuse me.

Stupid, a waiter has to clean rooms.
Don't talk nonsense, listen to Boss Chen.

You've be in it for this long,
but you don't know what 701 is?
Boss Chen, I have been in the party committee making tea for 7 years.
We have been away from the special tasks too long.
I really know nothing.
Same applies to him, he only knows about being a mechanical technician.
If you ask me which market to find the cheapest potatoes,
I can tell you.
Yes, 701 is our biggest enemy right now.
This group can do anything.
We recently lost our base in Ning Zhou.
They did it.
Wow, very powerful.
Where is 701?
Far on the horizon, but very close to our eyes.
