Sorry,
I'm afraid I will bring you down with me. I probably will be assigned to the South Campus.
If I guess right,
he is hinting to you when he said that.
He wants you show some appreciation.
Show appreciation?
F...Flexible.
Flexible? -Oh, my gosh.
Break the ice. Break the ice.
Is it showing appreciation, flexibility or break ice?
How come you don't understand the meaning behind the words?
They are the same meaning.
Reporting.
Come in.
Chief Lei.
Team Lead Lu, you requested to see me?
Do you know that Zhao Qirong sacrificed his life?
I just heard it.
The enemy's target is Rong Jinzhen.
Actually the reason I called you over here is that the organisation
must verify something with you.
Are you familiar with this pattern?
Do you know what it means?
This pattern appeared on the lost and found bulletin at Ning Zhou Railway Station.
Bian Xin found this pattern,
then cancelled the escape plan with Awakener.
They got away right under our eyes.
Do you remember the task at He Ping Hotel?
We found this pattern at the He Ping Hotel, room 202.
Cheng Jiang Nian killed the delivery man for the telegram transmitter
and bombed the telegram transmitter,
instantly cancelling the action plan because he saw this pattern.
I recognise it.
Ok, sir. In total, $6.60.
Here you are.
I have coins.
That's not right, I'm seeing your parents. How can I let you pay?
I bought you a box of bakery.
From Guang Yuan Zhai?
You like it? Then I will get you more later.
How do you know I just finished the last box?
I counted.
For your parents, don't worry.
I will help them depart tomorrow.
You can go for the spy examination tomorrow free of burden. You will do well.
Why did you like me?
I don't know.
Like a person needs reasons?
Zhao Qirong.
This the dumpling made by the principal's wife.
I brought it for you.
Very tasty.
You try.
Having dumplings?
No way to eat without some drinks.
White wine
I heard you came back. I guessed that
you would come here first.
Last time, when I was drinking with Zhao Qirong here,
we had a toast for you.
This time, we'll have a toast for our good friend Zhao Qirong.
Cheers.
Hold on.
So you guys are drinking.
Pan Sen, why didn't you call me?
Guang Yuan Zhai Bakery
I brought you guys some snacks.
Snacks?
Who eat snacks when they drink?
These aren't just some regular snacks.
Don't you remember? The boss of Guang Yuan Zhai
is going to be the witness of our marriage.
Okay.
Rong Jinzhen, I already drank mine.
What about yours?
Hold on.
I want to have a toast for Zhao Qirong too.
Rong Jinzhen,
I will drink this wine for you.
How can I forget, I have to be on duty later.
I can't drink it.
Pan Sen, how about you drink for me?
It's Rong Jinzhen's drink, why are we drinking for him?
Let him drink.
I want you to drink for me.
Yanshi, what do you mean?
Why can't you drink it?
So you're not going to drink it?
Rong Jinzhen, don't move.
There's poison in the wine, am I right?
Pan Sen, unfortunately,
the boss of Guang Yuan Zhai will not be our witness.
Guang Yuan Zhai Bakery
You're familiar with this symbol, right?
That time in He Ping Hotel,
you said you didn't want me to be in danger and switched with me.
You just wanted to get more time to send the withdraw signal, right?
Wait a minute. Stay here to give them a message.
I will inform Chief Lei. If there's any movement in He Ping Hotel,
I will go, you stay safe.
Also that day in the decoding department,
I decoded the message from Awakener.
you looked at the message
when I was talking with Meng Xiaoyun. Isn't that right?
That's why you said
you'll go visit my parents without me and see them off,
but you just wanted to send a message to the boss of Guang Yuan Zhai,
right?
- Here. - No I have change here.
I can't do that. I'm visiting your parents, how can I use your money?
Symbol
Ever since I was young,
I've never lied to my parents.
How could you use them like that?
Sorry.
I had to use you in order to get what I wanted,
the most confidential information.
If you want to use me, fine. But what about Zhao Qirong?
You shot him with your own hands.
Were your hands shaking when you pulled the trigger?
All of this, how did you find out?
From Guang Yuan Zhai.
You didn't think of it, right?
The snacks you gave me, I kept every one of the wrapping papers.
I thought of them as a keepsake of our love, I didn't want to throw them out.
I just found out now too.
What I kept, was actually your lies and crimes.
I'm ridiculous.
I was just a tool to send all your messages.
How many times did you laugh at me in your heart?
You're a stupid woman. I had been using you.
Sorry.
Yanshi, you were brave.
You completed your mission well.
The reason why I didn't tell you my plans,
was because I was doubting your ability to accept the truth.
If my prediction is right, the spy would be
one of your people.
Either Yanshi or Meng Xiaoyun?
No,
I'm suspecting Pan Sen.
I read all your mission records and journals
In the mission to capture Chen Jiang Nian in He Ping Hotel,
and the mission to capture Awakener in the Ning Zhou Station,
Pan Sen was the only one who had time to act alone.
But the mission to capture Awakener,
Pan Sen knew nothing about it.
But he has first hand source to get those information.
Are you saying, Yanshi?
They're in this together?
I think that's one of the possibilities.
Or Yanshi unknowingly leaked the information to Pan Sen.
During the mission, they also left 701 and went to Ning Zhou.
Pan Sen definitely had time to deliver messages to Awakener.
Do you have firm evidence?
Or is this only your guess?
It's my guess.
That's why, I need the time and chance
to prove my guess.
Continuing with the lie detecting?
That's not needed.
This time, I'll only need Yanshi to cooperate.
These are all the wrappers from the snacks that Pan Sen bought me.
Among them, these are the wrappers with this symbol.
I dated all of them, the time should be right.
This proves that my guess was correct.
Guang Yuan Zhai Bakery
Yanshi,
I have an important mission
for you to complete. Can you do it?
I can do it.
Wait.
This is the cruel reality of the covert front line.
There's always danger.
You have to get up from where you fell.
Be strong.
Chief Lei,
I'm sorry.
I'm a shame to 701.
I was a blind person.
The biggest idiot in the world.

Welcome!
- Boss, can we get some snacks. - Sure.
Here are your snacks.
Everyone, the spy hiding in 701,
Pan Sen, his code name is Zhen.
His superior is the boss of Guang Yuan Zhai, code name Fang Si.
They had been communicating with each other through the symbols on the snack wrappers.
After Pan Sen got into 701,
he bought snacks periodically from Guang Yuan Zhai with this purpose.
This set of symbols,
only a few people in Awakener's organization know the meaning of it.
Like this symbol, it means
"Meet up immediately. There's a mission to pass on."
This symbol means,
"there's danger. Withdraw immediately."
The reason why the mission to capture Awakener in Ning Zhou station failed,
was because Feng Yu Kun got the information from Pan Sen.
They used this kind of symbol
to inform Awakener and Bian Xing just in time.
That's right.
Also, during the mission in He Ping Hotel,
we could have captured Chen Jiang Nian and
got the code book from him.
Unfortunately, they were informed by Pan Sen
and they destroyed the radio immediately.
Sorry.
In the end it caused the mission to fail
and the identify of Zhai Li and Rong Jinzhen were found out.
That day, Zhai Li tried to tail Chen Jiang Nian
and saw him meet up with an unknown person.
He got the information about
Zhai Li and Rong Jinzhen being the spies.
That person, was the boss of Guang Yuan Zhai,
Feng Yu Kun.
When we had control of Feng Yu Kun,
he had no idea that Pan Sen's identity was already known.
We found a code book and radio in Feng Yu Kun's house.
We had him send a message to Bian Xing
using his code name.
We planned to lure them out,
but unfortunately we still haven't gotten a reply from them.
According to Feng Yu Kun,
the last mission he had was to tell Zhen to kill Rong Jinzhen within 2 days.
And this message,
was the last message that Awakener sent with the Purple Code.
From that night on, the Purple Code and the whole organization of Awakener
completely disappeared.
So that means, they might be aware
that the Purple Code is already decoded.
Possibly.
Therefore, we think that the Awakener most likely escaped.
I have a question.
If Awakener wanted to escape,
then why did he order Zhen to kill Rong Jinzhen within 2 days?
Please keep in mind,
if they thought that the Purple Code was already decoded,
then the life of Rong Jinzhen
would not be important anymore to the Awakener.
There are two possibilities
why he wants to kill Rong Jinzhen.
Firstly, he might hold a grudge toward Rong Jinzhen.
Secondly, he might have an even bigger plan
and Rong Jinzhen is his biggest threat.
Catholic Church
Did anyone follow you?
Rest assured, no one followed us.
All is prepared.
This is the route I drew.
We leave tomorrow night, we go from the south
then we'll take the ship to escape from here.
How many men do we have left?
We have 7 men left.
We were an organization with 59 people.
Creating this network,
took me 4 whole years.
Designing the Purple Code, took my whole life.
Now that the Purple Code is decoded,
I'm alone now, no one will follow me.
As long as we're still here in this world, there's nothing to be afraid of.
You can escape first, and we can develop a new plan.
Escape? To where?
Even if we can get out from here, they will not treat us well.
The reason why I was sent to Ning Zhou,
was to prevent project 213
of the national defense.
Now that the mission has failed,
even if we leave here, wouldn't we be the deserters?
So what you mean is...
My plans here
not finished yet.
Eat some while it's still hot. If not it'll get cold.
I'll be in my dorm. Call me if you need anything.
- Reporting. - Come in.
Rong Jinzhen? What brings you here?
Dean, my home visit period still hasn't ended yet,
I want to request for a leave.
You just came back but you're requesting for a leave again?
Yes.
During my leave, I hope that the organization will
let me bring my special class award.
This is against the rules. Why are you doing this?
No, I can't take this.
The pension that I got from the police station
is enough for me. I can't take anymore money from my son's friend.
Aunty, I owe him.
Before, when the monthly salary came out,
I would always borrow money from him.
Now that Zhao Qirong is not here anymore,
you should take it for him. Even good friends should make things clear.
But, did you owe him this much money?
What I owe him, is much more than this.
Are you the stepfather of Zhao Qirong?
You are...
That person right there, is a leader in our organization.
We're both good friends with Qirong.
We heard that you like to drink,
and you hit Aunty after you get drunk. - No.. No I don't.
Can you change that bad habit?
Okay.
Then it's good. In the future, please be good to aunty.
Okay?
I understand.
Aunty, the organization gave special permission to let me
bring Zhao Qirong's medal to show you.
This is his medal.
Special Class Award.
This is the highest honor that our country can give.
Zhao Qirong was a hero.

Qirong, when... when he was sacrificed,
were you there?
What else did he say?
This time, I'm being a good friend to you, right?
You have always been my best friend.
This time, I finally became a martyr.
But I can't be buried in South campus.
Zhao Qirong!
♫ Silently without a word ♫
If I really die,
my pension...
you have to hand it to my mom personally.
Tell her, that her son
was a hero.
We had a promise.
He had me promise him something.
What was it?
We're good friends who fought along side each other.
No matter who died first,
that person's mother, would be the other person's mother.
The person who is alive,
has to take care of her forever.
Mom,
from now on, I'll be your son.
