Sparrow
Chen Shen's plan is when the archive room suffer danger of information leakage,
we will then have a chance to know where the Japanese army top secret plan is located.
Two birds with one stone, not a bad plan.
We must kill Su Sanxing in a reasonable
and logical way before Li Moqun arrives.
If not because the Japanese came, this matter could have been resolved so perfectly.
That's not important. What's important is due to this matter, the archive room
will surely undergo an inventory and all files must be returned.
Then it means, we might be able to find the top secret plan now.
Episode 25
We shouldn't spoil this bad habit of his.
But I do feel that he said one thing right.
What?
I also feel that the Sparrow of the Underground Communist Organization is just here in our Special Operations Division.
Tang Shanhai told him that you are the communist's Sparrow.
You wouldn't really be the communist's Sparrow, right?
You rascal, I think it's you.
Me?
After joining in the inventory of the archive room,
have you found the secret plan?
Yes. The plan's code name is "Return to Zero Plan".
It is hidden in the top secret safe.
What then is our next step?
First, we must get a copy of the keys that Liu Meina safekeeps.
This is more suitable for Tang Shanhai.
Why?
Liu Meina kept throwing him flirtatious glances. I saw it.
You clearly know this yet you still want to ask your husband to seduce her?
You are quite magnanimous.
This is work.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello, Team Leader Tang, I'm Su Sanxing.
Team Leader Su?
Team Leader Tang, for your help, I still owe you a thank you.
You're welcome. I just can't take
how Bi Zhongliang and Chen Shen were conniving to bully other people.
Team Leader Tang, don't know if you have a free time tonight
for a dinner in my home?
Okay. Wait for awhile. I have to handle some work here now.
I'll call you later.
Okay. I'll wait for your call.
Who is it?
Su Sanxing. He is inviting me for dinner in his house later.
He still trusts you?
Maybe not.
- Are you going later?- In acting, one still has to complete the whole scene.
I was actually planning to set up on a date with a pretty lady later.
For what?
Chen Shen has already confirmed that the secret plan is inside the archive room.
It's code name is 'Return to Zero Plan'.
This time, it's your turn to do your part.
What part am I doing?
Seducing trick.
What joke is that?
It's true.
If we want to get those archive room keys from Liu Meina,
you must be the one to do it.
If you ask me, let's set it to tonight. Invite Liu Meina to eat out
and then look for a chance to copy those keys.
Then come with me.
I cannot go. If I go, how are you going to seduce her? Don't worry.
This is just work. I definitely won't get jealous.
How come I feel that you actually should be jealous?
It seems like that is indeed how I should be acting.
Of course, it's that way.
Tonight, I'll invite her to Red Lantern Hunan Restaurant.
You and Chen Shen go to and then try to distract her so I can make my move.
Okay.
Archive Room
Treat me to a meal tonight?
Yes.
Who else are going?
Just the two of us. Is that okay?
Bicheng is not going?
I just want to invite Ms. Liu to have a meal with me with just the two of us. Don't know if you are willing to give me this honor?
Team Leader Tang already said it like that.
I should at least give you some respect, right?
Then I...will come to fetch you later after work?
Okay.
Team Leader Chen, are you free now?
Can you come over and do my hair?
Team Leader Su, do you really feel that Tang Shanhai is helping you?
But I kept feeling that he and Chen Shen and Bi Zhongliang are together.
At least for now, I should let him think that I still trust him.
I am Su Sanxing.
Oh, Team Leader Tang.
Oh, you already have a date for tonight.
It's fine.
There are still a lot of chances next time.
Let's just reschedule it.
Okay. Goodbye.
Tang Shanhai isn't coming anymore?
Zeng Shu, don't you feel that Tang Shanhai's wife Xu Bicheng and Chen Shen
have some ambiguous relationship?
Xu Bicheng? Is there?
Think of a way
to investigate their backgrounds.
- Go now.- Okay.
Wipe yourself. Getting soaking wet at this weather makes one prone to catch a cold.
It was a bit hot earlier.
Now, it's not anymore. Hurry and taste it.
- So sweet. You eat too.- Delicious, right?
Taste this if it is sweet.
Have you two done eating?
Xiaonan, you have one too.
Pian Tou bought it for you. I'm not eating.
Ms. Li, eat some. Why must you be courteous with me?
Anyway, these were also bought using money from my Boss.
- Ha? What did you say?- I said that nothing is sweeter than this.
Pian Tou, if you dare mention Boss again, I'll get you expelled from here!
Don't say it anymore. Just eat your food.
What's wrong? What...had a fight?
Something will happen sooner or later.
Ms. Li, someone is looking for you.
Coming!
Wait a minute.
Who is he?
A third wheeler.
Why are you here?
I want to see if you have any time. If you do, let's have a meal together.
We can just eat but why must you still bring something like that?
On my way here, I saw a girl selling flowers and she looks so pitiful.
I reckon that she won't be able to sell these immediately so I just bought them all.
So you actually is this kind?
For you.
Yo, Team Leader Su.
There is also an old woman selling fruits outside.
Once she sold them all, she can also go home already. Go and buy them.
Give me back the flowers.
What? You intend to ask it back when you've already given it out?
Ms. Li, let's go. Don't mind people like this.
I will mind whoever I want to. No need for you to bother with my business!
Your matter is our Boss' matter. Our Boss' matter is my matter. I surely must mind my own business.
Don't mind people like this. Hurry and leave.
Pian Tou, let me tell you. Regardless, I am of higher rank than you.
Yo, scaring me?
Let me tell you. If my Boss' aren't afraid of you, I am not afraid of you.
Who are you scaring?
Ms. Li, you don't know how bad this person is!
A few days ago, our division almost got in trouble all because of him.
He took Team Leader Tang hostage and even made a cut on our Boss' hand.
I already couldn't count how many stitches were done.
The bleeding...it was about half a basin this big.
- Chen Shen got hurt?!- Yes.
Why didn't you say so earlier?!
I wanted to say but you won't let me.
Ms. Li, all of these are just a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?!
- You hurt our Chen Shen!- Right!- Ms. Li, listen to me.
- And you say it's just a misunderstanding?- Don't hit anymore, Ms. Li.- Don't interfere. Hit him!- Listen to me. I already apologized to him.
- Hit harder!- You even dare say it's a misunderstanding?!- He already had forgiven me.- Stop it already, Xiaonan.
- I'll beat you to death!- Ms. Li, don't be angry.- Hit harder.
- Dont' hit anymore.- Hit! You really hit him beautifully, Ms. Li, let me tell you.
Really was able to vent one's anger. If you ask me, you even hit him too lightly.
Tell Chen Shen when you go back that he must come see me tonight. He must come!
Tonight?
Just there, wearing high heels, long hair, and hands on her waist,
"Let me tell you. If you dare bully our Chen Shen again,
I'll kill you! I'm going to fight you to death! I...
- I'll kill you--"- I feel that you should apply for a eunuch position in the movie set.
Jeez, Boss,
Ms. Li is this good. You don't really plan to get her back?
What does that got to do with you?
Nothing. But Ms. Li told me to relay a message to you.
She said that you must go to her place tonight.
Ms. Xu.
Team Leader Chen, can we go now?
Let's go.
Oh, where are you two going, Ms. Xu?
I'm treating Team Leader Chen to a meal.
Handsome!
Boss, don't forget to go to Ms. Li tonight.
You still have to go to Xiao Nan later?
You really think Pian Tou is my boss?
Really now have a relationship with someone's wife? That's too much guts.
What do you want to eat?
I am not picky. Whatever you want to eat, I will also like it.
Is that true?
Of course, it's true.
Last time, I finished all those dishes that you ordered in Marsell.
It is really relaxing to eat with a woman like you.
Seeing how happy you are eating, I am also happy.
Then don't you enjoy eating together with Bicheng?
Sometimes, she is a bit stubborn.
Like?
Like she loves to eat those street foods like youtiao, pancakes, beancurd, things like that.
I feel that they are quite dirty but she just wants to eat.
And also, for example, we have agreed to eat here.
She'll say that she like to eat chili fish head so I'll order it for her.
It was her who said that she wanted to eat it but the next day, she will blame me for having pimples.
After hearing you say those, I feel that you are not really ranting.
You tend to get use to things.
I am really envious of Bichheng
of having a man like you by her side.
I also so want to have a man like you by my side,
accommodating my little bad habits. Telling me that it would be fine once he gets used to it.
Actually, you are different from her.
How different?
You are more understanding and gentler.
If someone can be lucky to be your man,
he surely will be more blissful than me.
Really?
Of course.
Waiter, we're ordering!
I'll just go to the bathroom.
Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
You're home. Hurry and wash your hands and we'll eat.
What happened to you today?
Nothing. Nothing.
What nothing? Sit down.
Hey, what work do you really do? You left in a good state so how come you came home like this?
You better explain things to me today.
It's nothing.
You are already hurt like this and you still say that you're fine? Hurry and tell me.
I got hit by a woman.
Woman? You have someone you like already?
Let go. Let go. Our birthdays haven't been matched yet.
Then whose family is she from? What does her family do? Is she beautiful?
Beautiful, just like you.
Stinky brat. Good thing you have good eyes.
Thinking how it was before, I was actually a muse of our Su family.
That's right. I indeed looked for one based on your qualities.
Don't touch. Don't touch.
Liu Meina's hair looks quite pretty. It wasn't like that when she came to work this morning. You did that?
- You really are not worried at all?- Not worried.
No man can defend against a woman's active attack.
Are you like that too?
Of course. Unlikely.
I don't believe it. Xiao Nan was so good to you yet you refused her.
That is because she doesn't fit my taste.
If one person can easily leave another person,
then this person is not worth your while.
I think that it's almost time. Let's go.
Act accordingly.
Where did Bicheng go today?
Probably went out to eat with Chen Shen.
There are some things...
I don't know if I should tell you or not.
Are you talking about Bicheng and Chen Shen's matter?
You know?
Chen Shen is Bicheng's teacher at Whampoa 16.
I think it's not that simple.
They previously were together.
Bicheng told me that it is all in the past.
But I kept feeling that it's not that simple.
Recently, Chen Shen and Li Xiaonan seemed to have broken up.
It couldn't be because of Bicheng, right?
It can't be.
I am very good to Bicheng. She shouldn't have fallen in love with someone else, right?
It's just that maybe there are still aspects that I didn't do good enough.
How can that be? You are already very good.
If she doesn't treasure you, I won't be courteous with her.
If she doesn't want you, I want you.
Bicheng, what a coincidence!
What a coincidence! You two are having dinner together?
That's right, come sit with us.
How can anyone still be in the mood to eat like this?
Come out with me.
Hey...
Hey, Meina, you really caused a big trouble this time.
What about me? What did I do?
Say, it's fine if you usually think about someone else's husband.
But today, you already confessed to him. What's that?!
Jeez, Team Leader Chen, it's just a misunderstanding, totally a misunderstanding.
I just wanted to console Team Leader Tang earlier.
No way. Even I understood what you meant earlier.
Enough already, Team Leader Chen. Stop adding oil to the fire. Tell me, what should I do now?
Let me think.
The fire was lighted by you so it should still be you who should extinguish it.
Go and explain it personally.
Weren't you supposed to meet Secretary Sun tonight? Why are you with her then?!
Can you not use that kind of tone to talk to me?
It's fine for you to invite an old boyfriend for a meal so what's wrong with me inviting Meina for dinner?
It is just a simple meal?
Bicheng, don't misunderstand.
I saw everything and heard everything!
Tang Shanhai, do you have any complaints against me?
Bicheng, can you listen to me say something?
- I'm not listening!- LIsten to me--- Tang Shanhai,
do you have any complaints against me?
Bicheng, listen to me say some words first.
I don't want to hear! Liu Meina,
everyone in the division kept telling me that you and Tang Shanhai are exchanging flirtatious gazes but I didn't believe them!
Because I thought that you were by good friend.
Of course, I am your best friend.
You all are lying to me! You all are lying to me!
Don't worry. No one is willing to fool you. If there is really something going on with me and Meina,
I won't hide it from you. I don't need to hide it from you!
How many times have you lied to me?
If you don't explain things clearly to me today, I won't let this end!
Enough already, you two stop fighting already.
Xu Bicheng, listen. I do like Tang Shanhai.
But in his heart, there is only you. Even if I have such a wicked heart, it's no use!
Learn to appreciate your happy life.
Meina, your bag.
Xu Bicheng, let me tell you. Guard your man well.
Or else, I also won't be courteous with you.
The keys are not inside the bag.
Meina!
Meina, let me drive you home.- No need. I'll just ride a rickshaw.
How can I let you just ride a rickshaw? Let me drive you home.
Aren't you still going to hurry and chase her?
Isn't there already someone driving her home?
Listen to me. Let's go.
The women today is really outrageous.
No matter how angry she was, she should have still left a man some dignity right?
Look at how she hurt you.
She didn't really mean it. There was just a little misunderstanding between us.
What misunderstanding? You bullied her?
No.
If there is a misunderstanding, shouldn't you explain it right away?
- No rush.- No rush?
You are already 32 years old and you still are not rushing?
People in our village who are as old as you have already children as tall as their father.
Still not rushing?
Actually, it's also not bad for a wife to be fierce and unreasonable. She would be able to manage a family.
Hurry and find a chance to let me see her. Find a date and marry her already.
This way, by next year, I can already hug my nephew.
Our Su family will have a descendant already.
Hey, I haven't finished talking yet so where are you going?
I'm going to see her.
Hurry. and go. Hurry and go.
Hey, wait. When she hits you again, try avoiding it a bit.
Even if a man wants to spoil a woman, you should still leave some dignity for yourself.
Look at your face.
Yes. I know already.
This stinky rascal...
Woman...
Sorry. I had you suffer.
There's really no suffering.
I deserved it. I indeed was thinking about somebody else's husband.
I indeed like him. I just can't hide it anymore.
I deserved it.
Meina, I am not worthy for you to be like this.
It's not you who decides if it is worth it or not. I am.
It's just that on first sight,
I already fell in love with him. Heaven is really so unfair.
I finally found a man that I like
yet he isn't even mine.
And he still love his wife very much.
But even if that's the case, I still think of him.
Tang Shanhai, tell me, what should I do?
Would I get delayed because of this? (not ever marrying)
I have arrived. Thank you for not leaving me on the streets earlier.
Goodbye.
Meina,
no one has ever treated me like how you do.
But you will never like me.
I am not as good as you think.
I also frequently think that you surely aren't the best one.
There must be more men that's better than you in this world.
There should be at least tens of thousands of them. But strangely,
I don't like those tens of thousands of people. I just fell for you.
Tell me, if I met you before Xu Bicheng,
will you like me?
Enough already. I already know the answer even if you don't say it.
Meina, you are very good.
I can't be dreaming, right?

I quite like Liu Meina's character. She will fight with you openly, not covertly.
Are all men like that? Falling in love in every woman that comes his way?
And you still were at ease to let Tang Shanhai chase after her?
If the keys are not inside Liu Meina's bag, then it is with her.
Liu Meina has worked in the archive room for a very long time. She rarely makes mistakes.
It is exactly this meticulousness that Bi Zhongliang likes about her.
Although her mouth isn't tight and she likes to gossip, she is still very responsible when it comes to her work.
If these keys are with her, it will be hard to get them.
Unless...
Unless, what?
Tang Shanhai will surely complete the task.
Are you alright?
- It's better that we ride the tram instead.- Okay.
Will you regret this?
You confused my heart.
Don't worry. I will not put you in a tight spot.
If you don't like me, I will not impose on you.
But if you also like me, I definitely won't get soft.
I definitely will snatch you to my side.
Rest early. I want to be alone for awhile.
I'll then go home now.
Did you see my keys?
Keys?
Weird... I've put it in the pocket of my coat. Could they have fallen in your car?
- Is it this set of keys?- Yes. Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
Last time, you asked me when I came to Shanghai.
When I first came to Shanghai, I hadn't met Li Moqun and Kagesa.
It was during the fall.
The world is so big, but I had nowhere else to go.
I was willing to stay behind for this gingko leaf.
Tang Shanhai is a good man.
I think you're found a good husband. I'm happy for you.
Chen Shen, listen to me. There is actually one thing that I have always wanted to tell you. Tang Shanhai and I actually--
Chen Shen!
Chen Shen, you're here.
Bicheng, did you bring Chen Shen here?
That's right. Pian Tou already said that I must let Team Leader Chen come see you tonight.
It's still you who has a way.
Chen Shen, it's so late. I thought you weren't coming.
You two can chat. I'll go upstairs now.
I heard that you're injured. Where? Let me see.
It's fine. Just a minor injury.
You're injured like this? Let's just talk inside.
I was just requested by Team Leader Tang to bring Mrs. Tang home.
It's getting late. Rest early, Miss Li.
Chen Shen!
Can't you just lie to me? Lie that you're worried about me,
so you specially came to visit me.
Do you have a fever?
You have a fever.
Chen Shen,
I will hold a grudge for this.
I hope that one day, you can find a happiness that belongs to you. I also hope that I can find it.
I'm leaving.
Chen Shen. Chen Shen!
Chen Shen, you will regret this!
Alright. Even if you don't say anything, I know the answer.
Meina, you're a great person.
- Have you slept yet?- I'm coming.
- You were already sleeping?- Not yet.
Oh, right. Did you get it?
I just knew you could do it!
I'm not certain it's the archive room's key yet.
It's okay. We'll find out after I make a replica tomorrow.
That's all we can do.
Oh, right, let me ask you something. How as my acting today?
Won't you ask how I got it?
How did you get the key?
You kissed her?
What are you smiling about?
Be careful not the take the act for real.
Why are you glaring at me?
What if I like taking the act for real?
I'm sorry. We are also doing this for work.
Don't you agree?
Yes.
Go to a farther place tomorrow to have those keys reduplicated.
You're getting too deep into your role.
We are only pretending to be married for work.
Who I like is none of your business.
Team Leader Su.
Come, sit.
Thank you, Leader Su.
Zeng Shu, you should just call me Sanxing in the future.
Yes, Sanxing.
I told you to investigate Chen Shen and Xu Bicheng. How is that going?
I already investigated it. During the 27th year of the People's Republic, Chen Shen used to teach at Whampoa 16 of the Kuomintang.
And Xu Bicheng was a student there then.
I heard that they once dated.
No wonder.
What's wrong?
Did Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng arrive at the start of this year?
I think so.
How well do you know that Rehmannia?
During the start of this year, Chonqing sent over a secret telegraph message
that they had learned that a Nationalist secret agent with code name Rehmannia has already successfully infiltrated the Special Agents Central Headquarters.
To protect the identity of this person, Chongqing never sent me any information about him.
Now, there is one person who can contact him. It's Hurricane Squad's leader,
Tao Dachun.
