Episode 035
He Sha Sha, you can go back now.
Meng Xiaoyun, you came just in time.
Come see if there's any signal.
Is there?
I think so, but I can't be sure.
There isn't.
If you say so, then it must be right.
It's Thursday today. There's usually a call signal on Thursdays.
I was afraid I might miss it.
Don't worry. Just go back.
All right, I'll leave first.
Fang Si reporting to Zhen. Your last mission,
Is to kill Rong Jinzhen within 2 days.
You're very lucky.
You met me
This is the safest place in the world that I could think of.
In the future, we'll stay here.
Every day, you'll solve problems on paper, I'll go fishing on the boat.
Then, I'll cook for you.
You'll boil water for me.
We'll give birth to a boy
and a girl.
You have to
remember how I look in this yellow dress in the future.
You have to remember forever,
the sweet feeling when I kissed you.
In the future, no matter where you are, who you're with,
who you're giving birth with,
who you're getting old together with, if anyone asks you,
who you love the most...
Shen Yuer.
Big Head, come back!
Big Head.
Did you write all of these?
Zhao Qirong,
why does everyone that I care about have to leave?
And...
Not give me any chance to say goodbye?
You were also like this.
I went to visit you before I left.
That night, I was standing outside the ward for a long time.
Then why didn't you come in? I had been waiting for you.
I was sorry,
I couldn't face you.
It's me who should say sorry.
Ever since I got into 701, I kept getting in trouble.
Many people got hurt because of me.
They... They even sacrificed themselves.
I brought you down too.
I regret it.
If I ran out at that time,
and got shot by that bastard,
I would have become a hero.
What in the world are you saying?
Who's going to take care of your mother if you die?
If I really die,
my mom can get the pension.
She'll feel honored.
Wouldn't it be nice?
Big Head,
thank you.
Thank you for not looking down upon me and still treating me as your good friend.
We will forever be good friends.

Zhao Qirong,
do you know the first thing that came to mind after I woke up?
What was it?
Didn't you take out $10 from my salary every month?
My monthly salary is only $25, and you borrowed $70 off me.
When are you going to return this amount of money?
But hey... don't you have amnesia?
How can you remember this so clearly?
Besides you're already the Deputy Director. This little money... I mean, are you even my friend?
Good friends still need to make things clear.
Hey, you!
Let's go, time's up.
I want to stay a bit longer.
No, you must leave now.
It takes two hours to get back to town. You must return before it gets dark.
Oh my.
Hey, wait.
What's the situation over here? Isn't she just a secretary?
Who's status is higher? Who is she bossing around?
I'm higher.
But still, I have to listen to her.
Have you possibly leaked out information
based on the operation?
No.
Does Awakener know you?
No, he doesn't.
But you know Awakener.
How's that possible? Obviously I don't know him in person.
Have you hidden anything towards the organisation?
No.
Does Awakener know you?
No, he doesn't.
Then do you know Awakener?
No, I don't.
Have you ever leaked information
out to other people out of the organisation?
Tomorrow, when you go lie detecting, look at Group Leader Lu like this.
Imagine him as me. Then you'll be calm.
I'm asking you a question.
No, I haven't.
Have you hidden anything purposely towards the organisation?
Sorry,
but I have hidden anything.
Uncle and aunty we're here.
Pan Sen, even though Yanshi couldn't bid us farewell,
we are very happy that you can come.
I have something to tell you.
Yanshi is our only child,
you need to look after her well.
Aunty, please rest assured.
I will listen to whatever Yanshi says.
Oh right, I also bought you some snacks.
They are the snack that Yanshi likes, I hope you will like it as well.
Okay, thank you.
Then shall we go in?
Okay.
I feel that comrade Meng Xiaoyun,
is hiding his health status.
If you suspected him, why didn't you report it to the organisation earlier?
If I say it,
I may have ruined a comrade's future.
If I don't, then that means I'm suspecting him.
Hence, recently I've been contemplating,
but I know that I can't lie towards the organisation.
Are there anything else you need to let the organisation know?
There's no more.
Yanshi reported Meng Xiaoyun?
Yes. And what she said was verified.
I've checked the record in the Decode Department.
The cryptogram from Awakener was received by Meng Xiaoyun.
What a coincidence, he was on shift on Thursday too.
If we check with the monitoring history, it not hard to see that
Purple Code uses stable symbols, and usually appears on Thursdays.
Previously codes were sent on every Thursday.
However, no code was sent this Thursday.
So you think that Meng Xiaoyun eavesdropped?
Or he heard it wrong and thinks that there's something wrong with his ears?
We can confirm that.
Then that's easy, we can bring Meng Xiaoyun to the hospital and do a checkup.
The truth will then be revealed.
No.
Can he really not hear or he's just faking,
we need to continue to observe.
Why do we need to wait?
If there's something suspicious about Meng Xiaoyun, then we need to take action.
Or else the loss will be even greater.
It's not the right time.
If we want to catch it accurately we must wait a bit longer.
However, I am sure
he is a bit flustered.
As long as he's flustered, his true nature will show.
Hey, are they making dumplings today?
Your friend is really something else.
They're having dumplings and we're here.
Shouldn't they bring some out for us?
Madam, the dumplings are cooked.
Have a taste.
These dumplings are made for Jinzhen.
He decides if it tastes delicious.
He's the leader, let him taste it.
Go.
We should make more dumplings
as there's still a few comrades outside.
They're all young men and eat well.
Comrade He Sha Sha,
last night did you really not get a cryptogram?
Are you sure?
It's true that I didn't hear anything when I was on duty.
But when I was ending my shift,
there might have been something.
Then why didn't you report it immediately?
Because the signal was really weak, I wasn't too sure at the time.
At the time, Meng Xiaoyun was just about to begin his shift.
I knew my ability was limited, so I let him monitor it immediately.
He also said he couldn't hear anything.
I thought, if even he couldn't hear it,
then it should be fine.
That's why, I didn't report it.
Look like I was wrong about your comrade.
Who told you to come out?
Madam was mad. She told you to go eat dumplings inside.
But you didn't go. So I have to bring them to you.
Okay then, tell her I said thanks.
It's stuffed with the three delicacies. You'll love it.
Go back in now.
What happened?
Don't move. You mustn't go out.
Zhao Qirong! Zhao Qirong!
Where's the sniper?
Inside that building!
Zhao Qirong.
Get a hold of yourself. The ambulance is coming soon.
Big Head,
this time, I was manly enough, right?
You've always been my best brother.
It's not worthy at all...
To die here...
But... I finally became a martyr.
I'm going to die.
You're not going to die. You won't die.
I won't let you die!
Big Head,
promise me.
I won't promise you. I won't let you die.
Look at me.
If I really die,
my pension,
you have to give it to my mom personally. Tell her,
her son,
was a hero.
Zhao Qirong.
Qirong.
Zhao Qirong!
What?
Rong Jinzhen was attacked by an assassin?
Okay.
What happened to Rong Jinzhen?
He's fine.
Deputy Director Wu already rushed to his house.
But Zhao Qirong,
he was sacrificed.
- Han Bing. - Here.
Go to Ning Zhou immediately.
Escort Rong Jinzhen back to 701.
Seems like this spy is not holding back anymore.
Do we need to tell the security department
to isolate Yanshi and Meng Xiaoyun,
and question them again?
No.
Investigate Meng Xiaoyun first.
Didn't you say those two are both problematic?
Up until now, all my predictions were correct.
But to capture this spy, we have to take the last step.
Hold on.
You said all your predictions were right?
Why didn't you take action in advance?
Why did you let Rong Jinzhen take the risk?
Zheng Dang, he has his own plans.
What plans?
Was Zhao Qirong's death also part of his plan?
No.
Zhao Qirong's sacrifice was an accident.
Why wasn't there accident before?
Chief Zheng, don't put Lei Ting in a tight spot.
She doesn't know all my plans.
I'm sorry for the loss of Zhao Qirong.
But my mission is to capture the spy. I need evidence.
I need firm evidence.
Therefore, I had to take some risk.
Take what risk?
Taking risks with my people?
Lei Ting,
Zhao Qirong and Rong Jinzhen both worked under you.
He's fine with that. But are you fine with that too?
If you were already aware of
the danger, why didn't you say it earlier?
To be honest, this is the only part I didn't predict.
I didn't know his target was Rong Jinzhen.
From now on,
you have to tell me everything.
I have to know all your plans.
If not,
I'll never work with you anymore.
Deputy Director Wu, I'm sorry that
you had to come all the way here.
It's part of my responsibilities.
I'm ashamed that this happened in my working area.
I guarantee, I will definitely protect Rong Jinzhen.
Bring these dumplings with you,
I don't know when I can
make dumplings for you next time.
Madam, I'll be leaving.
Excuse us.
Let's go to Ren Min Hospital first.
I understand how you feel,
but the order I received was to protect you and bring you back to 701 directly.
I must go to the hospital.
I can't leave Zhao Qirong there alone.
I will take him back to 701.
Go to the hospital.
Get in.
I took many medicines.
These are the empty bottles.
There's no effect.
I know,
I know my ears importance towards 701.
Without them,
I am disabled.
I was afraid to tell in the beginning.
I thought it was just a small issue.
It would get better soon.
But later on
I heard the operation failed.
I was even more afraid to tell.
I was afraid that it was because of me that caused the consequence.
Can you hear me speaking right now?
I can.
Meng Xiaoyun,
we need to do a medical check up for your ears.
No problem.
I request you to write down all the things you've just said.
You need to be responsible towards the organisation.
Sure.
Your mom asked me to bring this to you.
Look how suitable the colour is.
Even though your parents weren't able to meet you,
they met me and were really happy.
What's wrong?
Is something bothering you?
Tell me, what happened?
Today, in front of the door of the Detective Apartment,
in front of a lot of people,
security took Meng Xiaoyun.
They suspect he's the spy.
Meng Xiaoyun as the spy?
It was me who reported him to Chief Lu.
If he's innocent,
then I won't be able to face him for the rest of my life.
Are you disappointed in me?
Am I too selfish?
Don't say that.
I understand.
We should tell the truth to the group.
You did the right thing.
If Meng Xiaoyun is really innocent,
they will get to the root of it and clear his name.
Meng Xiaoyun won't blame you.
I hope he is innocent.
Okay, don't think too much.
By the way,
I bought you the bakery from Guang Yuan Zhai.
Guang Yuan Zhai.
Also, I bought some for your parents too. They can bring it back to Shanghai to enjoy.
Thank you.
If someday, we can really get married,
I want the owner of Guang Yuan Zhai to be our honoured guest.
Why?
Because his bakery is the evidence of your love to me.
He witnessed our
solid love.
I will listen to you.
Let him be our honoured guest.
I finally brought Zhao Qirong back to 701.
Since being classmates, comrades, and becoming brothers,
Zhao Qirong taught me many things.
He always dreamed of becoming a hero.
But heroes must die.
If that's true, I rather be the brother to him forever.
That night, the valley was very quiet.
701 used this type of method,
to welcome their son home.
I think Zhao Qirong is at ease.
