General Kagesa of Service Office Mei called. He received another telegram sent by Rehmannia.
Who exactly is this person? Who?
If you want to save Bicheng, he must live.
Secretary Qian?
He left at noon. He's still yet to return.
- Did he take the bait? - Secretary Qian has bowed down
to Old Bi for so many years. How could he not take the bait?
You are very deceptive. It's such a waste of your talents to work in Operations Division.
Somebody's framing me! I'm sure of it!
Are you a communist or a nationalist?
The less you know, the better.
Episode 42
You know what to do.
Yes.
Boss, guess how I knew about the arrest of the Nationalist liaison last time.
Hurry and say it.
Money. With money, I could get the information.
Their team isn't as united as our team.
Say it. How much money do you want?
Make your own judgement.
These people don't have high wages. Don't spoil them too much early on.
I even had to pay my own money for last month...
This is for last month.
This is for you.
You're about to get married. You can't continue wasting money like before.
Miss Li is so impressive.
Boss, the hard days are coming for you!
Coming!
Why did you come back so late? Come in.
Why did you buy so many fruits?
I didn't buy them.
- Who gave them to you, then? - Su Sanxing.
These are all from him.
Didn't I tell you to stop interacting with him?
I said no, but he insisted on giving them to me.
Throw them all away.
Don't. That's such a waste.
I thought I could bring these to Pi Pi and the other orphanage kids tomorrow.
That works, too. I'll thank him in place of the kids later.
That's right. If you throw away his gifts,
you'll appear so petty, right?
What is this?
I'm knitting a scarf for you. Do you like it?
It looks like a fishing net.
Like a fishing net?
I spent so much time and effort on this.
Try it on.
Anyway, if it can help me enclose you, it's enough.
It looks good. The color also suits you. It should just be a little longer, right?
You came just in time. Help me wind this yarn.
Put your hands in here.
- Xiaonan. - Don't talk.
Right now, I feel like we are a family.
Even if you don't say anything, I feel very blessed
and happy.
In the past, I've always dreamed of an image: a lamp, a man,
and a group of children running around.
Chen Shen, thank you
for fulfilling all of my dreams.
Xiaonan, actually I...
Whose call is that? Hey, don't loosen your hands.
Otherwise, the yarn will get tangled.
Hello?
Bian Tou? Yes, he's here.
Wait a second. It's Bian Tou.
Here.
Hello?
Okay.
I got it.
Hang up the phone.
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Movie Queen, can you act another scene with me?
- I didn't disturb you, right? - Come inside.
Miss Li didn't come along?
You're here.
We can discuss this without her. I found that tomorrow morning at 9AM,
Zeng Shu will be taking actions at the train station. This has nothing to do with you two, right?
Tao Dachun will be leaving Shanghai soon.
He's going to Nanjing to assassinate the Japanese leader.
Then, should we immediately notify Tao Dachun?
Since the Xinchen Inn address was leaked to Chen Shen, Old Tao changed his hideout.
Moreover, he has to leave soon. If he doesn't contact me, I can't find him.
Then, we'll go find him at the train station tomorrow.
- No. - No.
I doubt Bi Zhongliang will believe that Secretary Qian is Rehmannia.
At this time, you two should halt all operations.
Do you have another plan?
Leave it to me. Tomorrow morning, I'll find somebody to stop Tao Dachun.
Do you need me to cover you?
Tomorrow is Sunday. If I'm not mistaken, you have duty that day.
Yes.
Stay inside the Division.
Make Su Sanxing believe that this situation doesn't involve you in any way.
Do you need my help with anything?
Wait for my news.
- Team Leader Tang. - Team Leader Su.
- Are you on duty? - Yes.
Don't you have a break today? Why did you come to the Division?
I still need to follow up on some of the loose ends of Secretary Qian's case.
Team Leader Tang,
this case tormented you and your wife a lot. I am very sorry.
It's fine. It's just business.
If something happened to you, I would do the same.
No matter what, when I was in trouble, you once helped me.
Thus, when this case created a commotion with Service Office Mei
and Operations Division, I was afraid to secretly help you because everyone was on high alert.
The wise man knows he knows nothing. Team Leader Su, no need to worry.
Are you leaving?
No. Why do I need to leave?
If you have time, let's eat lunch together at noon.
Okay. I'll treat.
Miss, what would you like?
- Hello. Do you have more of this yarn? - Yes.
- I would like half a catty. - Okay, please wait.
[Shanghai Northern Train Station]
Ah Qiang, wait here with some men.
- Yes. - I will set up ambush in the waiting room.
We must block them off at the waiting room. Remember:
capture him alive.
- Okay. - Guo Zi, let's go.
You two, go over there.
I don't know who you are. Somebody wanted me to tell you: there's an ambush.
There! Catch him alive!
Go!
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
That driver is also sketchy. Catch him!
How could you drive like that?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You two, keep chasing!
Driver, if you don't want to die, then behave.
Why are you running away? Why are you afraid to show your face?
You're afraid I'd recognize you?
Help!
Where are you running to?
- Let's go! - Danger. Hurry and go!

- Do you have a medicine box? - You're injured?
It's Xiaonan.
Tang Shanhai's situation can threaten my safety at anytime.
Xiaonan, I'm really sorry for this time.
Xiaonan, I'm sorry.
I didn't know Chen Shen sent you as the messenger.
You even got injured. It was so dangerous.
It's fine. These are just minor injuries.
These are lighter than my mother's beatings from when I was a kid.
Thank you.
Xiaonan, I owe you too much.
You don't owe me anything.
If not for you, I would have died long ago.
Chen Shen really shouldn't have sent you on such a dangerous task.
I was willing.
Bicheng, you are my best friend.
Chen Shen is my most beloved man.
If you're safe, then Chen Shen is safe.
If Chen Shen's safe, I'm willing to do anything.
Xiaonan,
if, just as a scenario,
in the end, Chen Shen still can't be with you,
what will you do?
Xiaonan, don't cry.
Bicheng,
do you still remember me telling you
that if Chen Shen doesn't return,
I won't get married.
If he never comes back,
then what's the meaning to my life?
She just took her medicine. She's sleeping now.
Okay.
Luckily, the knife didn't wound her too deeply.
She should be fine after some recuperation.
Let me do it.
You should marry her.
What did you say?
Xiaonan is such a great person.
How could you let her down?
What about you? Can I let you down, then?
In the future, I can still see you.
All these years, you didn't forget about me.
I'm satisfied.
We finally escaped.
This isn't the result I wanted.
All I know is that if you let Xiaonan down,
I'll never be at ease.
Maybe Tang Shanhai is right:
if one is willing to sacrifice one's life
for another person,
then one has nothing else to fear.
It's my fault.
It's all my fault.
You're not wrong. It was all for me.
I know that.
Chen Shen, if you still love me,
- then promise me... - Don't say it.
I only ask you to make one last promise to me.
Marry Xiaonan.
I'm telling you, stop talking!
Look at me.
The man I loved for all these years
can't be such a jerk.
A woman.
A woman killed two men! Who would believe you?
Was it Xu Bicheng?
No, probably not. Her facial appearance and body figure are all different.
You don't have any helpful clues?
Yes. Well... The woman left this behind.
I've already searched into it. Many stalls sell these Hengyuanxiang yarns.
I probably can't investigate any further.
A load of useless garbage.
These days, Tang Shanhai, Xu Bicheng, and Chen Shen have not had abnormal activities.
On the other hand, this Su Sanxing did something secretly yesterday.
I think they went to capture somebody at the train station yesterday.
In the end, the person escaped. I think it was a woman
who informed that person to leave.
Our Operations Division is hiding so many tigers.
Some don't inform me of receiving intelligence and take matters into their own hands;
some secretly work with our enemies and are never to be found.
Division Chief, you mean that other than Secretary Qian,
our Division contains other spies?
Are you one?
Division Chief,
don't make this type of joke with me.
I'm afraid my enemy's pawns are surrounding me.
By then, I can't protect myself.
Then, should I ask Su Sanxing what has happened?
The clues are all lost. He won't admit to anything.
Even if the spy is in our Division, he is currently on high alert.
He won't make irrational actions.
Yes, sir.
For me?
You said you don't like valuable objects, so I bought the cheapest one for you.
Lies.
I know that this watch is very expensive.
Movie Queen saved people's lives again. She's worthy of this reward.
Then...
Can I ask for a different reward?
What do you want?
Old Tao contacted me again.
- He's fine? - Yes.
He sent somebody to report back to Chongqing via the water route.
He will stay in Shanghai and continue work.
- Here. - Thank you.
This is all thanks to Li Xiaonan.
How are her injuries?
They're fine, not too serious.
Later, I'm going to reapply her medicine.
Do you guys plan to tell her the truth?
By the way, I remember we still have three more small gold bars, right?
I want to give two to Li Xiaonan,
as our gift
to her and Chen Shen's future wedding.
You've made up your mind?
You won't regret it?
No matter what decision you make,
I'll respect it.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Also,
I need to return Xiaonan's necklace.
I can't rob her of her love.

It's been a long time since you last gave me a haircut.
That's because you're very old-fashioned. You're never willing to change your hairstyle.
Does she...
Does she also like it when you cut her hair?
Who?
Who else?
Who is it?
I'll go.
Bicheng! Hurry and come in!
Xiaonan, did I come at a bad time?
No, no. How about Chen Shen also give you a haircut?
It's fine. I don't need one.
After you're finished with the haircut, call me over. I'll come reapply your medication.
No need. Let's reapply medication first.
Chen Shen.
Chen Shen!
Chen Shen,
- help me remove my apron. - Oh.
I'll go outside.
Let me have a look.
Does it still hurt today?
It's much better.
Your injuries are healing well. Later, I'll get you some traditional Chinese medicine patches.
Thank you, Bicheng.
Please don't thank me. If you do, then you're treat me as an outsider.
I never had the chance to return this to you.
Bicheng, you keep this.
In the future, if Division Chief Bi asks you for the necklace again, it'll be troublesome if it's gone.
No, I can't keep this. It's yours.
If you hadn't helped me, I would have died long ago.
How could I rob you of your love again?
Why are you differentiating between yours and mine? This already belongs to you; you're not stealing it from me.
I can ask Chen Shen to buy another one for me.
Just keep it. If you keep trying to return it, I'll get angry at you.
Okay, then I'll keep it safe for you.
Bicheng made this decision on her own?
Chen Shen, I hate your current attitude.
You are so unlike yourself.
I am a man who can't make up his mind
and has to personally watch his woman get hurt.
I hate him more than you do.
But I still need to thank you.
Thank you for giving up on this opportunity.
In the future, I will treat her well. I won't give you another chance.
In the past, I was quite confident.
I thought that if I was persistent enough, anything is possible.
But later, I realized that's not true.
This world doesn't have a distinct difference between white and black.
In other words, even if something is black, you must stick with it.
Bicheng made this decision because she understands me.
She's just like me.
She only allows herself to be heartbroken. She's unwilling to hurt others.
Brother,
we must become stronger before we can protect our own women
and our compatriots.
It's not that I'm refusing to make a decision right now.
It's just not yet the time to make that decision.
I disagree.
Even if we can't live to see tomorrow's sun,
we can seize the present and make our decisions at anytime.
Okay.
If we really can survive until the end,
I must have a fight with you to find out the winner.
Then, you need to train more. Don't lose too badly to me.
Are you free at noon? I want to take you somewhere.
Can I beg you of a favor?
In the future, stop encouraging me to marry Xiaonan.
I will think of a way to repay her feelings for me.
I just ask you to do one thing:
protect yourself,
and wait with me for the day victory arrives.
Okay?
In my life,
you are the only woman I've loved.
Central Headquarters have sent out a message.
Su Sanxing was transferred by Service Office Mei to a new organization.
It's called East Asia Political Research Institute.
What kind of place is that?
What else?
Some shady organization to secretly kill people.
I heard Li Moqun recommended he goes to work there.
Why didn't he recommend you?
Didn't he previously want you to be Operations Division's division chief?
Li Moqun recommended Su Sanxing in order to keep Bi Zhongliang in check.
He didn't recommend me because people say that he's playing favorites with his relatives.
That's good, too. In a place like that, if I don't help the Japanese kill people, they will kill me instead.
It's good to be inactive like I am now.
Su Sanxing has always been heartless.
In the future, wouldn't he be even tougher of an enemy?
I can't wait longer for reinforcements from Chongqing.
What do you mean?
Su Sanxing and Zeng Shu must die.
You're going to find Old Tao?
Yes. We can't find the Return to Zero Plan, but we can't just sit around.
Su Sanxing has betrayed the nationalists for a while now.
If I continue to allow him to live peacefully,
he'll really think our party has fallen on deaf ears.
When Li Moqun ordered Su Sanxing's transfer,
you didn't look too great.
Really?
I remember being quite happy that day.
Because you were too happy, it seemed fake.
It's so hard being a human.
If I'm not happy, you say I'm petty. If I'm happy, you say I'm acting.
Yes.
Li Moqun is obviously using Su Sanxing to keep you in check.
You almost trod on his toes with that last incident at Qiufengdu.
He's repaying you so soon.
Honestly,
I'm rather happy. Truly.
Think about it. The more Su Sanxing ascends in power,
the more annoyed Chongqing will be with him.
We've suppressed the Nationalist Shanghai District long enough. They'll get revenge soon enough.
At that time, it'll be great to have somebody act as our shield, right?
Do you know the address to his new office?
Li Moqun already said
it's currently a secret.
See? You're still unhappy. They're clearly bullying you.
Then, make me happy. Lose more money to me when we play mahjong tonight.
Sure. If you're happy, I'll lose all my property to you.
No. Things are different nowadays.
If you lose all your property to me, what will Xiaonan do?
If I lose it all, she won't want me anymore. I'd be happy.
I'll be a single man. I won't have to worry about anybody else's safety.
You little rascal, Xiaonan isn't that type of person. She's a good girl.
You've found gold; you must treasure it. Do you hear me?
