Sparrow
Switch this purse with Liu Meina's purse
and then quickly make a copy of the keys inside.
Su Sanxing must have noticed something.
Or else, he wouldn't deliberately spill the wine on me.
You really think that the ring today was brought by Chen Shen for Li Xiaonan?
It might be that they initially planned to switch the purses
so they could steal Liu Meina's keys.
Are you sure you want to do that?
Rather than letting him keep guessing,
why not just admit everything to him?
- How about I give you a birthday celebration to make up for it? - Really?
Tomorrow, I will ask Liu Meina out one more time.
Episode 31
If they had already arranged a plan,
they wouldn't leave behind evidence for me.
That's true.
But they forgot
that the most foolproof plans are the most suspicious.
Team Leader Su, come often next time.
Sit.
Team Leader Su!
What are you searching for?
Oh, I just lost a pen.
I was wondering if I accidentally threw it away or left it at home.
I think I should go home and search again.
But I don't think your pen would be with the peanut shells that I threw away.
These are your peanut shells?
Really...
I'm guessing it's still at home.
I must go. I'm sorry.
Sister, why did you come?
If Miss Xiaonan didn't bring me here, you don't plan to tell me where you are working, am I right?
Sister, look where Sanxing works. Isn't it fancy?
Of course. This has a more imposing air than the county office we have in our county.
Then...Sister, you stay here for awhile.
Xiaonan, this way please. Can I talk with you privately?
Why did you bring my sister here?
Don't worry. Your sister doesn't know how to read.
I already told her that this place is the government office.
- Even you know now to help me brag. - That's right.
Oh, right, you must remember to go back to the hospital for check up for your hand.
Thank you for your concerns.
No need to thank me.
That...
What's wrong? Say it.
Last night...
Last night...I also don't know what happened.
I initially thought that if Chen Shen propose marriage to me,
I will then immediately accept it.
But when I saw your injured arm...
I then...
- I then... - Actually,
I was very nervous last night.
I was afraid that you would immediately accept it.
Anyway, I was thinking that I should give this some more thought before making my decision.
Right. Right. You should give such huge matters some thought first.
There's no end to your whispering.
Oh, right, I went to visit Sister Su earlier and brought her some fruits.
She was just happen to be going out of your house. She said that you have a relative today that's marrying off his daughter.
My sister indeed said it before. At...
the old road of Sujing Town at Songjiang, we have a long distance relative.
Sister Su insist that I go with her.
You agreed?
I also felt that going with her isn't appropriate.
But Sister Su said that she treats me as her little sister so it's fine.
Moreover, she isn't quite familiar with Shanghai, doesn't know anyone here,
and she doesn't know any words. I then thought that since I'm not doing anything anyway,
I'll just accompany her.
- Thank you, Ms. Li. - No need to thank me.
I only came here to tell you that I will rent a cab and take Sister Su to go there later.
No need. I'll just let my man drive you two to Songjiang.
- It's fine. No need. - It's needed.
Ms. Li.
Are you looking for my boss? Boss is waiting for you upstairs.
Not going.
Today, I'm accompanying Sister Su to the old road of Sujing Town in Songjiang to drink some wedding wine.
- Let's go, Sister Su. - Okay.
I am at ease that you are going with me.
Don't worry, Sister Su. With me by your side, you won't get lost.
Hey, Tu Dou, I remember that you live in Songjiang, right?
Right. Right. Brother, your memory is really good.
Then good. Help me with a favor later.
Rent a car from Xiangsheng Company
and then help me drive my family to Sujing Town for a wedding ceremony, okay?
Brother, you know someone in Songjiang?
Sister Su, your younger brother is really great.
That's right, our Sanxing is really a promising man.
Long distance relatives. We basically don't communicate with each other anymore.
It's in the old road. Oh, right, just stay there and don't go anywhere.
- Drive them back here afterwards. - Okay.
Brother, your family is my family.
- Thank you. - Thank you, brother.
Say, this Ms. Li is really something. You just proposed to her last night.
And now, she's going with that person's sister to drink some wedding wine.
Say, what do other people getting married have to do with her?
With what status is she going there?
They went to Sujing Town of Songjiang for a wedding?
Yes. That is what Ms. Li said.
That Su Sanxing even said that he will ask someone to drive them there.
I know already. Get out.
Just like that?
What else, then?
That's right. You two haven't married yet and she's already being infidel. Don't bother with this kind of girl.
What's that? What does she thinks she is?
But I feel that Ms. Li isn't this kind of person.
No...
I feel that she's not...she's not that kind of person.
Hello.
Is this Mr. Tang?
I am.
My name is Ah Qiu. Your uncle asked me to bring you some zongzi from Chongqing.
Uncle already wrote me a letter about it.
So you are Brother Qiu. He told me that you will be coming to Shanghai soon.
That's right. I just arrived today.
Do you have time to come pick up your zongzi?
Okay. I'll go there now.
[Qingfeng Tea House]
Shanhai.
- Why did it take you so long to return? - Sit.
Our leaders aren't having it easy, either.
The different nationalist stations aren't willing to let go of their men.
They sent over some men from other departments. I couldn't do anything while I was there.
I was more anxious than you.
It's good that you are back.
That...how is that Su Sanxing?
Right now, he is the team leader of Operations Team 3. We have equal ranking.
Didn't you think of a way to get rid of him?
We almost were successful one time but everything fell short.
It's fine. Now that I'm back, the hurricane squad has been reestablished.
The members will successively come here to Shanghai. Just like before,
I will directly accept orders from Chongqing.
In Shanghai, only I will communicate with you.
I actually have one thing to report to you.
What are you going to report to me? You are my superior.
What superior?! We are all working for the Nationalist Government.
According to reliable information, the Return to Zero Plan is hiding in the Operations Division's archives room.
I plan to steal it very soon.
You found it so soon?
Has the new communicate codes arrived yet? The old one was already decoded, so I've been afraid to contact our leaders recently.
In a few days.
Where are you living?
Xinchen Inn.
It's uncertain if we can get the Return to Zero Plan.
No matter what, we need to prepare an escape route for ourselves.
Okay. If you need anything, tell me.
- These days, you should stay inside the inn. If I need anything, I'll look for you. - Okay.
- I can't stay too long. Bye. - Wait.
These zongzi are for Bicheng.
Bicheng has been missing these zongzi lately.
- Really? - Yes.
The days have gone by so quickly.
I'm leaving.
Brother Shen.
Go to the streets of Sijing Town, Songjiang.
See if a family is holding a wedding.
Today, Li Xiaonan and Su Sanxing's sister will attend that wedding. I want you to kidnap them.
This way, Su Sanxing's man can report it back to him.
I understand.
We have an operation tonight. If Su Sanxing's around, it'll be difficult.
I know.
After I kidnap those two women, Su Sanxing will be anxious and go search for them.
Then, it'll be easy for you to take action.
But don't really put them in danger.
Brother Shen, I got it.
You should dress up. You might see Li Xiaonan at the orphanage in the future.
If she recognizes you, that'd be bad.
Don't worry, Brother Shen.
- I'm leaving it to you, brother. - Okay.
- Good! - So high!
- Is this fun? - Yes!
Later, let's play that other one.
Uncle Chen Shen!
Come, come. Come eat fried buns!
Come eat fried buns.
Come, come. This side. Hurry!
Go on that side.
- I want some! - I want some, too!
Here, for you.
This is for you.
- Here. - Me! I also want some!
- Here, share these with them. - Okay.
I also want some.
I want some.
Draw two ears.
And a round body.
He wants to learn how to draw?
Did you understand?
I understood half. He said he wants to draw his mom.
He also said if he doesn't draw his mom down,
he'll soon forget how she looks.
Thank you for visiting Pi Pi.
Do you tell Xiaonan those same words?
Actually, I haven't spoken to her since that night.
Then, did you tell it all to Pi Pi?
What other secrets of mine did he tell you?
I wanted to ask him.
Looks like you haven't asked him yet.
Tang Shanhai told me that you're a man of secrets.
- Everybody has secrets. - That's right.
If you don't tell me some things, I don't need to ask you,
but I would still wonder
why you would take such huge risks to help us.
Are there no ulterior reasons?
There are.
What is it?
Can I say that it's you?

Division Chief, should I turn around?
No need.
General Kagesa ordered that starting now, all files
will be archived through the normal process, including the Return to Zero Plan,
but this safe box's password will be changed every week. Only you and I can know.
A third person is not allowed.
Okay. I understand.
- Have you memorized the password? - Yes.
Archive a copy of the Return to Zero Plan with additional information. Note that down.
Yes, Division Chief.
After rechecking these files, will the inventory checking process be over?
There's a top secret file cabinet there, too.
Only you and I can know about this.
Don't leak the information to anybody else.
Are these your keys?
He thinks he can hide from everybody,
but eventually, he'll expose himself.
Happy birthday.
So pretty!
- Take it off! Hurry and take it off! - I said, I'm fine!
You can eat out with your ex-lover. What's wrong with me eating out with Meina?
Is it a simple meal?
Actually, you're different from her.
You're more considerate than she.
Even if I was acting on impulse,
I couldn't hold myself back.
If I were you, I would use every possible method to steal away the person I like. Nobody can stop me.
If you don't draw your boundaries from her, I won't forgive you, no matter what you do.
Silly. If I didn't do that, how would I know how much you care about me?
I will take care of everything. Trust me.
Done, Sister Na. Take a look.
So pretty!
Team Leader Chen, is it true that girls who receive gifts from you
get married very soon?
Looks like you've found a man you want to marry.
If I get married, I don't need to work here anymore.
Then, are you just wanting to stop working here, or are you really wanting to get married?
In the past, I thought I was rather smart.
That's how I was able to work here for so long.
Of course, my intelligence can't compare to yours.
And because you guys are smart enough,
I was able to making a living here with half sincere ignorance
and half pretended ignorance.
But now,
I think my so-called smartness isn't enough anymore.
I'm a little afraid.
Afraid of what?
Afraid that you smart people will start fighting and swallow up a small shrimp like me!
In front of the Japanese, we're all insignificant shrimps.
So you also think I should leave this place?
Sister Na,
in places like Operations Division,
telling the truth is risky.
I also don't know why I'm telling you all this.
Team Leader Chen, I just think you're different from others.
How? We're all the same: helping the tiger pounce on its prey, numbed to the sensation of killing.
Anyway, you are different.
Sister Na,
if you want to hear the truth, I can tell you.
It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. You can leave this place,
but don't place your hopes on any man.
If a woman wants to live well, she needs to rely on herself.
That's right. What if a man tricks me?
Team Leader Chen, thank you for doing my hair again today.
You're welcome.
You go ahead first. Turn west after going out the gates then wait for me at the first corner.
I know that you have planned it thoroughly.
It's better that we avoid other people.
Yes. I understand.
- I'll go out now then to wait for you. - Okay.
Come in.
You went out earlier.
Old Tao is back. He brought you some zongzi.
He's back?
Great.
Have you already set a date with Liu Meina?
Tonight?
I already did.
Your tie is a little loose.
Do you need me to fix it for you?
Then use this one.
Why haven't I seen this tie before?
She gave it to me.
Meina's taste is quite good.
If I had to give you one,
I really won't know which one to pick.
This tie really looks good.
There is a poisonous plant growing in my heart.
Before I pull it out, I want to hug it.
You must be careful of your safety.
Don't go anywhere today. I might call you anytime.
I'll wait for your return.
Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Sorry. I caused you to wait long.
No, I also just arrived.
Where do you want to go?
How about let's go to my house? I want to have a night where no one will come bother us.
Fine. I'll cook you some steak.
I was just waiting for those words.
I am finally able to eat with you in private.
Do you know that
when I heard Xu Bicheng say that you know how to cook, I really was so envious.
That time, I thought to myself, "how can there be such a great guy in this world?
But how come such a great man isn't mine?"
He is already yours now.
Shanhai, I already am fed up with my usual life. I want to leave this place forever,
and have a quiet life with you.
Can you tell me how long must I still wait?
Very soon.
You...won't lie to me, right?
What do you mean by that?
I also heard that the secret agents of the Communist and Nationalist governments
might be hiding in our Special Operations Division and planning to get some information.
You...
aren't approaching me just for information, right?
Did other people tell you this, or are these your actual thoughts?
- You are angry? - If you don't even trust me, I better just leave.
Shanhai, don't go!
I also was just too concerned about you. I was worried that you will fool me.
I already sold my house.
I am just renting from the new owner now.
I am just waiting...waiting until you are ready
and we will leave this place together as far away as possible. Shanhai,
do you know how much I want to be with you?
A woman at my age really can't risk it anymore.
I know. But you must tell me
who really is saying these things in front of you?
No one really. They were just rumors.
You probably know it too.
Recently, the Communist and the Nationalist Governments are all targeting the 'Return to Zero' plan.
Division Chief suspects everyone so I am also a little nervous too.
Meina, don't get nervous.
Division Chief usually looks at top secret files alone.
They will not pass through you.
You probably still don't know
that General Kagesa of Service Office Mei made a new rule.
From now on, Division Chief cannot solely keep any documents.
That's why, I also will get involved.
No matter what happens, let's just live our own lives, okay?
Let's eat.
The Operations Division is filled with gossip.
We only need to take care of our jobs. Don't ask about anything else.
I got it.
I'm just afraid that the more I know in the future, the more danger I'll be in.
Shanhai, give me a deadline.
How much longer must I wait before you take me away?
One more month.
Okay.
Looks like this Tang guy won't be leaving tonight.
How about you go up there, too?
Team Leader Su?
- Team Leader Chen, I didn't scare you, right? - No.
Why? Did you forget something in your office again?
No.
Then, why didn't you go home after work?
My family members went to a wedding ceremony in the countryside.
There's no point in staying at home, so I came back to check on the Division.
- Did you find your pen? - Pen? Not yet.
Are you going to the first floor for patrol?
Please.
Where do you think we should go?
Where do you want to go?
Would going overseas be more peaceful?
But do we have enough money to go overseas?
How about we go to Hong Kong first?
Many people go to Hong Kong first, and then make future plans.
We'll go wherever you want.
I really want to leave right now.
That way, we'll never have to...
- Straight! - Here, here, here.
- Do you have any? - Two tens!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
- Can you handle this? - Sit down!
- Lost again!
- Fine, fine, fine. - You can play a card.
Needless to say, Su Sanxing is watching him.
Chen Shen doesn't know
if Tang Shanhai can successfully get Liu Meina's keys tonight,
but he knows that
he must get the Return to Zero Plan before Tang Shanhai.
That's how he'll better protect his identity.
Now, he can only hope that Pi Dan can successfully kidnap Li Xiaonan and Su Cuilan.
Only if Su Sanxing is lured away, will he have a chance to take action.
Don't leave tonight, okay?
Do you think I'd leave?
I'm Su Sanxing.
Team Leader Su, there's a man called Tu Dou here who has urgent news for you.
- Tu Dou? - Yes.
- Put him on the phone. - Okay.
Brother, I'm Tu Dou. Has Sister-in-Law and her sister returned home yet?
What do you mean? Aren't they with you?
Oh, no. Oh, no. They're missing!
What? Say that again!
Didn't I tell you to stay with them? What did you do?
Wait for me there!
What happened?
I don't know, either. I told Sister-in-Law that I'd go home to visit my mom, and then take them into the city after I reutrn.
After I came back, Master said they were already taken away.
- I thought you sent other people to take them. - Shut up!
If I sent you to escort them, would I send other people?
Then, who took them away?
How would I know? Did you search nearby?
- I didn't have time. I just... - Go, go, go.
Wait. I'll go with you.
Meina.
Meina?
I need to borrow the phone.
Go ahead.
Please step away.
Hello, Zeng Shu? Immediately go back to the Division.
I need to leave for an emergency. Nobody can know about this. Tonight,
don't close your eyes at all. Keep a close eye on Chen Shen, understand?
Okay.
