Episode 026
Mom passed away after she delivered me.
People in the tribe said I was a sign of bad luck.
They asked my father to drown me in the river.
My father didn't do it.
My father didn't marry again.
He adored me.
He taught me Kong Fu at a young age.
Taught me Mandarin and gave me a Han name.
He wanted me to remember my mom forever.
Even my other name, Lansuoya was given to me by my father.
The meaning in the Nuo Su tribe is 'lucky star in the sky.'
My father told me,
no matter how other people talk about me, I shouldn't be bothered.
I'm the lucky star in his life.
But he tricked me. He also tricked himself.
When I was 14 years old,
my father led the men in the tribe to fight the pirates
and never came back.
Even the man who had a marriage commitment with me when I'm little.
also got killed by them.
Tell me whether or not I'm an unlucky star.
Afterwards, the new leader of the tribe kicked me out.
After that,
there was no more Lansuoya in this world.
There was only Shen Yue.
I only had a boat.
and lived everywhere the boat went.
However, it wasn't bad,
I still had A Mu, A Cu and La Wa with me.
They were my only family.
But now,
they have passed away.
Tell me whether or not I'm an unlucky star.
Tell me,
I don't even know who you are.
But from now on, maybe you will become my only family.
Family.
Tell me, the staff members in 701 are also human. right?
As a normal man,
I have the need to love, what's wrong?
I date, what's wrong? Who did I bother?
Yanshi and I.
We knew each other at a young age.
We love each other.
We will be together in life or death.
We also work together.
What are you saying has no logic.
Somehow you received a university education.
How come no you are like an uneducated person?
I, maybe I like being uneducated. But my Yanshi,
she was the top student in the math department.
Her family background includes scholars.
OK, OK stop bragging,
Let me tell you,
Between you and Yanshi, you just need a little more time.
As long as you get to the proper ranking and age,
everything will be smooth.
Get a good result.
Not like Zhai Li and me.
Wait,
You have something with Zhai Li?
Nosense, of course I have feelings for Zhai Li
Zhao Qirong,
you kept this deep in yourself and didn't tell me as a your brother?
OK, I do have feelings for Zhai Li.
But Zhai Li has no feelings for me.
Between Zhai Li and me,
there is a deep valley between us that can never be crossed.
Deep valley, understand?
This wide.
No, it should be this wide.
Deep valley.
Just like 701.
The South Campus and North Campus.
Although standing across the road,
they can never be able to get into each other.
Why?
Hai
Team Lead An.Team Lead An?
Be quite.
Hassn't he passed away?
Just because he passed away,
I can never get into her heart anymore.
Why?
You see.
Let's assume if Team Lead An was still alive,
then I must not compete with him.
But now he has passed away and he is a dead man,
If I had compete with a dead man,
would I still be considered a man?
Not really.
The key is
what caused Team Lead An's death?
The Purple Code?
This is a hero's death.
Brave to die.
How can I compete? What do I use to compete?
Right?
So this valley,
will always exist between Zhai Li and me.
Only can feel it but can't speak out.
How come you are like Meng Xiaoyun. You change so fast.
I not only don't have the hearing skills as Meng Xiaoyun,
but also I don't have the shooting skills like Han Bing.
Indeed, I don't have the intelligence of Da Tou.
Inside of group Q,
the least important people are us.
That's why we are good brothers.
Brother,
I don't agree.
How come we are not as important as them? You use to be the acting team lead.
Don't mention that, just acting.
In the end I got degraded,
In total, just three months and two days,
and one week in the detention room.
Doesn't matter.
You will rise again.
Be confident.
Look at me, I'm very confident.
i will do my best to get a promotion.
After that I can marry Yanshi.
Yes, tell me.
What should I do? Then I can
shrink the valley between Zhai Li and me
and fill it in the end.
Cheers, for the promotion.
For your rise.
Rough.
Too fast forward, no sense of the revolution.
Then cheers for brothers.
For Da Tou.
For group Q.
For decoding the Purple Code.
Cheers.

Good morning.
Eat your breakfast. After that, change into this.
Then follow me to the city.
Aren't we going to Qian Zhang Ya today?
I changed my mind.
We'll go to He Ping Hotel.
He Ping Hotel?
He Ping Hotel.
Doctor Shen, how long have I been here?
Any pain to your insides takes a hundred days to heal. You need to rest.
I strongly request to be discharged.
What. Discharged?
Zhai Li, whenever your Hemoglobin goes up
and your blood pressure is stable, then we can talk about discharging you.
Hi, Doctor Shen.
Hi.
What's wrong?
You are still unhappy today?
Sorry. I brought you flowers though.
Look at the sun! What great weather today.
Can't you just cheer up a bit.
What is there to be happy about?
Zhai Li, you have the wrong attitude right now.
You see, the questioning is already over
and besides
whatever issues our headquarters is investigating, it is normal.
Look at me.
Didn't I get questioned too.
Right? But, I'm still living my life just fine.
Please. I beg you. Cheer up a bit.
It's not difficult to make me happy, you need to help me.
That patient's condition is stable now. Pay attention during checkups.
Understood.
Doctor Shen.
Yes.
Hey. You know that helping you means that I risk getting penalized.
What's the big issue? If there is a penalty,
it's going to be on me.
You make it sound easy.

He Ping Hotel
- Comrade, hello. -Hello.
I want you ask you about someone.
Who?
Him.
What do you mean? I don't understand.
It's like this,
he has a twin brother that lived here.
But then, he disappeared and we couldn't locate him.
We don't know whether you still remember,
he looks like this.
I'm sorry. There are a lot of guests that come to our hotel.
How if, hm.. What is this comrade's name?
On what day was he here? I can check the registration book for you.
If I knew, do I still need to ask you?
What did you say?
Nothing. How about..
Help me get a room first.
Okay.
Please register here.
Your room.
Go upstairs and turn left. Room 204.
- Let's go.- Hey.
- Comrade.- Hi.
Get me a room.
Please register here.
He Ping Hotel Registration Book
Everyone! In stance!
Are you all welcoming me in a military format.
Reporting. Chief Lei, we are here for a request.
A request?
-What request? Chief Lei,
is the questioning of the members of Unit Q over yet?
Yes. What's the matter?
We request to be involved in the operation to locate Rong Jinzhen.
Reporting. Rong Jinzhen's status is currently unknown.
He is one of the members of Unit Q.
He is our friend and comrade.
This time's mission failure, is everyone's responsibility.
Therefore, we need to bring him back.
We have confidence in this point.
What right did you earn to have confidence?
Our abilities are stronger than his searchers.
Moreover, we know him very well.
Do you really know him?
Report!
At the very least, compared to the searchers
we understand him a lot more.
Why are you here instead of staying at the hospital?
Do you want to die?
Chief Lei, we may not understand him completely,
but we care more about him.
Our desire to find him, to bring him home and to safety is much stronger.
This motivation and determination is
what those searchers lack compared to us.
Please give us permission to go.
Chief Lei. Please let us go.
Chief Lei.
-Let us go. -Chief Lei. Let us go.
-Chief Lei. -What!
You all trying to start a revolt?
Everyone of you, missing professionalism.
Everyone go back to Unit Q's office and reflect on your actions.
You must have visited He Ping Hotel. Do you recall anything?
Think slowly. This room costs 2.8 yuan per night.
This time I came back,
to figure out who you are.
I remember.
Why are all of you doing nothing? There's an operation.
We're reflecting, what operation can there be?
Chief Lei, agreed to our request of letting Unit Q
participate in the search for Rong Jinzhen. -She agreed?
This is the info that Chief Lei gave me.
All gather around and look.
Apparently, this is the girl who found Rong Jinzhen.
This is her appearance.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Don't stop me. I just figured this problem out.
- Don't stop me. Let me write it down.- Hey.
No! You can't! This hotel is very expensive! I can't afford it!
Let me go!
Give me.
No.
- Hand it over. - Give me.
Give me. Let go! I'll bite you.
Let me write it.
Cannot!
Who is it?
Waiter.
I beg you, don't write anymore.
- I brought some hot water for you. - You can just give me the bottle.
Raise your hand.
Move backwards.
You're not very good at crossdressing.
Are you Rong Jinzhen? Next year today will be your memorial day.
Who are you actually?
You guys will not be able to escape He Ping Hotel.
Anigu, run!
Hurry!

Attention!
Report! Unit Q is all assembled. Please give us your instructions.
This mission's sole objective is to rescue comrade Rong Jinzhen at any cost.
Location is He Ping Hotel.
Leave!
This is not Shen Yuer.
Did you find out anything?
There's no fatal wound on the body.
There are people who saw
her jumping down from He Ping Hotel before the explosion.
Is her death related to that?
There is only a slight fracture on her ankle
and slight scratches on her elbows and right knee
Based on her wounds, her death wasn't caused by the jump.
We found a small needle mark on her neck.
It was sent to forensics and we are just waiting for the results.
These are all the Purple Code.
Yes. Rong Jinzhen is still trying hard to decode the Purple Code.
I don't understand. How could he scribble the Purple Code everywhere?
-Report! -Report!
Come in.
Chief Zheng, Chief Lei. We verified the information.
The person who stayed in room 204 was a man.
He registered in the morning
Was there only one man?
The waitress said there were two men at the time, but only one man registered for the stay.
Shen Sanshui?
What was the name of the Nuo Su woman?
Her name is Shen Yu. The waitress also said she had a deep impression of the two man.
Because at the time, Shen Sanshui said
He had a twin brother who stayed here.
He disappeared after and we couldn't find him. We don't know if you still remember,
but he looks like this.
He Ping Registration Book
We already have experts to draw the two young men according to the waitress' description.
It seems like the men named Shen Sanshui isn't Rong Jinzhen.
However the other man who didn't talk looks like Rong Jinzhen from this image.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
He doesn't look like Rong Jinzhen
This is Rong Jinzhen.
Shen Sanshui is most likely not a man but a woman.
I suspect that Shen Sanshui is Shen Yuer.
If that is true, was Da Tou kidnapped by that Nuo Su woman who disguised herself?
This Shen Yuer is indeed suspicious.
Using a fake name to register and disguising herself to bring Rong Jinzhen along.
Not only in the hotel and the boat,
but everywhere they go. Rong Jinzhen writes so many equations related to the Purple Code.
If he wasn't forced by the enemy agents, he wouldn't dare to
scribble such confidential information everywhere.
If Shen Yuer is an enemy agent, then why would she force Rong Jinzhen
to decode the Purple Code?
Then, why would she take Rong Jinzhen away?
Didn't she want to find the twin brother?
There's another possibility.
Chen Yuer does not want to take him away,
but wants to send him here.
Where is this?
It feels gloomy here.
And that old lady, her eye...
Did you see clearly?
Do you want to know how she became like this?
Long-long time ago,
he owed me money.
But he didn't pay me back and gave me a lot of problems.
The most important thing,
he was very loud, and talkative.
It got me angry, then
I picked her eye out.
I'll give you a choice, do you want to be blind,
be deaf, or be mute?
Then be good,
eat more, stop asking.
Thank you, old lady.
If you said it like that, she may not hear it.
She said if you need something, just ask her.
Old lady Mi,
help us prepare two sets of clothing.
The less eye-catching, the better.
And, help me prepare a pen and pencil.
So she can hear after all?
She can lipread.
Comrade, what can I get for you?
A cup of coffee.
Okay. Please wait.
It's confirmed. There's nobody in the room.
That fella is still alive.
I guessed it
or they wouldn't be still looking for him here.
I thought those three assassins were skilled.
So disappointing!
How could they let
Rong Jinzhen escape twice in a row?
If I haven't acted quickly,
Bai Mei would have ended up in 701.
- Comrade, your coffee.- Thank you.
What a big commotion at He Ping Hotel.
I think, the possibility of them reappearing
is low.
This is our only clue.
We can only wait there.
Chief Zheng, Chief Lei, the forensic results are out.
The lady who jumped down from He Ping Hotel died from poison.
Do you still remember the enemy agent who killed Hawk Eye?
Potassium cyanide?
To be more accurate, it was a more complex cyanide compound.
The death rate is faster than pure potassium cyanide.
After comparative analysis, the cyanide composition inside of this woman
is the same as the other enemy agent.
Captain Cao, inform Deputy Director Wu immediately.
Tell him to distribute the portraits of Rong Jinzhen and Shen Yuer to each police station in Ning Zhou
and use the entire police department to assist with the search.
Are you crazy?
Rong Jinzhen has too much confidential information on him.
How can you just distribute his portrait everywhere?
They already escaped two attacks, how long do you think
they can still last?
Our top priority, is to let Rong Jinzhen and Shen Yuer know that we're searching for them.
They will only be safe, if they are here.
Okay. Captain Cao. Do as Chief Zheng instructed.
Understood!
Rong Jinzhen must still be in the city of Ning Zhou.
We must find out his whereabouts immediately.
My men have been looking for him.
If there's anything, they'll inform me immediately.
Even if we have to turn Ning Zhou upside down,
we have to kill Rong Jinzhen before they find him.
Keep an eye on their men too. They're already looking for Rong Jinzhen.
Maybe, they can give us some clues.
Hey, want to eat out later?
Sure.
