Sparrow
People from Chongqing are having a secret meeting. Arrest them all.
As a newcomer here, a greeting gift is a must.
I heard Liu Sanmu say the Nationalists purposefully leaked the news to you so that you could capture them on their behalf.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 PM at Pier 6. Get rid of him.
This is the reply from the organization leaders. Do you have any opinions?
Who do you want me to kill first? Chen Shen?
Do you know Chen Shen's girlfriend? I don't want her to appear at the banquet tonight.
What do you want me to do?
Audition? Sure!
- Episode 11 -
She said she's going to a movie audition, but she didn't specify the location. She left after picking up a phone call.
When did she leave?
Let me think. It was after I ate lunch. Maybe 12:30 PM.
Chen Shen thought to himself,
could Wu Long have done this? But the timing doesn't match up.
At 12:30, Wu Long was
on his way to Qingfeng Tea House.
If he really kidnapped Li Xiaonan,
he would have used it to personally threaten him.
Boss, what did the phone call say?
He said to bring ¥1,000 to the soap warehouse to trade for her tonight at 8 PM.
If somebody's wanting to earn big bucks, why would they come to you?
There are so many rich people in Shanghai, but you're not one of them.
Also, he only wants ¥1,000?
Wouldn't that be a waste of efforts?
Bian Tou's words reminded Chen Shen.
Is the other party really after money?
Or is there an ulterior motive?
If he goes to the soap warehouse at 8 PM,
he will miss out on Li Moqun's banquet.
Maybe the other party has no motive
but to prevent him from appearing at the banquet.
Will something happen at this banquet?
- Ah Da, Ah Qing.- Here.
Only a few rickshaw drivers pass by Celebrity Movie Company.
Li Xiaonan is very close to them. They should know where she went. Go ask around.
- Yes, sir.- Yes, sir.
Mrs. Bi, your complexion doesn't very look healthy today.
Really?
A few days ago, when Chen Shen and I were outside,
a group of people started shooting at us! I was petrified!
Aiyo.
The Operations Division is attracting so much attention.
Even a minor character like Chen Shen is hunted.
Shanhai, you should be more careful.
I'm only a newbie at Operations Division. I can't compare to Team Leader Chen.
Why don't I see Chen Shen here today?
Excuse me.
Are you hungry? Eat something first.
Okay.
It's fine. I'll help you get a new one.
Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Li hopes you could help with the banquet fireworks planned for later tonight.
- Okay.- This way.
Shanhai.
Shanhai. This is Boss Wang, an artisan of mahogany furniture. He's also Supervisor Li's friend.
Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me.
Nice to meet you.
The fireworks will begin at 9 PM at the front of the restaurant.
Are there any problems?
Do you see that person downstairs?
I think I see somebody, but he looks blurry.
That person is called Wu Long.
Yesterday, he traded opium with a man called Liu Sanmu at the pier.
He witnessed the assassination of Liu Sanmu, but he luckily escaped.
Now, he's waiting there to meet with Bi Zhongliang.
He knows all the details about the Nationalist Military Commission,
including that arrested six-member group of when you first arrived.
Last time at the Hunan restaurant, you saved me. I know that.
Now, I'll return the favor.
The nationalists aren't wanting to kill me. They want to kill that man downstairs.
Of course, I know that you don't want me to die.
Thus, I beg you,
for the sake of our old relationship, let me and Bi Zhongliang off the hook.
You shouldn't have come. Why did you still arrive?
Some things can't be hidden from.
We can all continue living.
Chen Shen still came.
Did he possibly find Li Xiaonan?
Or did he already guess that she kidnapped Li Xiaonan?
This is too scary. He's actually knowledgeable about everything.
If he is her enemy, Xu Bicheng thinks
that she and Tang Shanhai would have died long ago.
I delivered Miss Li here.
Okay. Thank you.
Straight flush!
Don't move, everybody!
- Stay down!- Don't move!
Stay down!
Why did you guys come?
Miss Li, don't be afraid. We're here!
Chen Shen, why are you here?
I should be asking you that.
I'm here for an audition.
The director is super nice.
When I first came in, they acted as a mafia to test my acting skills and reaction.
That's right!
Miss Li has great acting skills!
- Are you done talking? Stay down!- She'll surely be the female lead!
Right? I'm telling you, the director and I really hit it off.
I didn't have any scenes to film today, anyway. I was bored, so we started playing cards.
- Li Xiaonan, the role you are playing must be an idiot.- Huh?
- Let's go.- Where?
- Go home. - Oh! Going home is great!
I'll cook soup for you. I learned a new type of soup, and it's delicious.
I'll cook it for you right away!
Team Leader Chen, have you seen my wife?
She's waiting for you on the balcony upstairs.
Thank you.
Old Tao still hasn't found that person who escaped from the pier?
Why are you asking me this?
That person is currently by the hotel's front gate, waiting to see Bi Zhongliang.
You mean, Chen Shen sent somebody to inform us of the opium trade?
Yes, it was definitely him.
He could have exposed us,
but he didn't. He's always been helping us.
I already said that we can instigate him.
Even if he helped us this time, the more he knows, the more danger we're in.
You still have to kill him?
This is the order from the organization.
No. I won't allow you to kill him.
- Are you crazy?- I'm not crazy.
I can't allow you to kill a good person.
I don't think Chen Shen is simply a good person.
If he dies,
I can't continue living, either.
I'm begging you. Please don't kill him.
I'm begging you.
The traitor elimination order has already been issued.
Even if I wanted to, I can't stop Old Tao from the operation. It's too late.
Division Chief Bi.
Division Chief Bi!
- Who are you? Stay there!- I have to see Division Chief Bi!
- I want to see Division Chief Bi!- Don't talk.
I have something important to report.
I'm Division Chief Bi's spy. I have something important to report immediately.
What's your name?
Wu Long. Sir, please help me inform him.
It's really important. My life is at stake!
Wait here.
- Stand behind the line.- Alright.
Supervisor Li, congratulations.
Congratulations.
Supervisor Li.
- Hello, Supervisor Li.- Congratulations.
- Hello, everyone.- Congratulations.
Hello, Supervisor Li.
Congratulations, Supervisor Li.
- Congratulations, Supervisor Li.- Have fun.
Look. Isn't he just as handsome as I?
- What's wrong? - Boss, you should become a fortune-teller. Somebody really is waiting for Division Chief.
His name is Wu Long. He said his life is at stake.
Is he bullying me for being ignorant?
Some people want to see the world in chaos,
so they purposefully pick events like these to make a scene.
He wouldn't stir up some trouble, right?
So many people in Operations Division are jealous of Old Bi.
They say that his merits make his higher-ups uneasy.
Think about it. If Supervisor Li hears this, he'd be unhappy.
Of course. I'll listen to your orders and quiet him down.
No matter what, we can't allow him to ruin our boss's mood.
- Go.- I'm leaving.
That'll be fine.
- Sir! - What are you doing?
Sir! Did you help me tell Division Chief Bi?
Division Chief Bi is busy. Wait.
Sir, my situation is very--
Wait! So talkative.
Xu Bicheng is such an unqualified agent.
From the panicked look on her face,
Chen Shen could guess every aspect of the situation.
She kidnapped Li Xiaonan.
She didn't hurt Li Xiaonan in any way
because her goal is just to stop him from arriving at the banquet.
This means that the nationalists are planning a new assassination tonight.
Wu Long's appearance helped Chen Shen reveal his bottom line.
He knows that Tang Shanhai now understands
that he helped him with this Liu Sanmu incident,
but would Tang Shanhai rein in tonight's operation
at the brink of disaster?
From Tang Shanhai's tranquil facial expressions,
Chen Shen can't find any answers. He understands Xu Bicheng too well,
but he doesn't understand Tang Shanhai at all.
We've been standing here for so long. So hungry.
Our stomachs are so empty, Bian Tou.
You're hungry? Me too.
- How about I go get some food?- Sure!
Good idea!
Wait here.
What are you doing?
Team Leader Chen, people say that you're a fortune-teller.
Do you think I'll never get married?
Are you being serious?
Of course!
If a woman is beautiful, capable,
and even finds a good marriage, too many people would be jealous.
God usually wouldn't do something so unfair to others.
That's right.
All the good men here have a woman.
Looks like I'll never get married.
But you can't say that.
If you didn't only have your sights set on one person,
there would be a long line of people wanting to marry you.
Meina!
May I have this dance?
My feet hurts. I don't want to dance.
Oh. Your feet hurts?
I'll help you massage your feet. Let's dance. Hurry.
Secretary Qian, I think Old Bi was just looking for you.
Really?
He's been asking for you since he returned.
Then, I need to go check it out.
I'll come find you later.
Actually, I think Secretary Qian is a pretty good man.
It's just that...
I think you, Team Leader Chen, are a pretty good man.
- I think it's probably like this. - Really? I still don't understand.
Explain it again.
Okay.
I'm hungry.
Go on.
I'm going to eat.
Meina, you're so pretty today.
"Your beauty is a feast to the eyes." Is that how the saying goes?
Right? Don't go eat. Just look at me, instead.
You're too hard for me to chew.
Bian Tou, if you stopped placing food before woman,
you'd be married a long time ago.
Boss understands me well.
Go. Hurry.
I need to go greet somebody.
Okay.
Hello? I'm searching for Division Chief Bi.
Okay. Please wait.
Who is Division Chief Bi?
- What's wrong?- There's a call for Division Chief Bi.
I'll go find him.
A bottle of Kvass.
Okay, please wait.
Hello?
You must have come up with a solution, right?
We all underestimated him.
He was the most outstanding instructor at Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy.
If he knows that we want to kill him, he'll surely have a way to attack back.
If we kill him,
he'll ask somebody to expose us.
Did he ask any requests of you?
He said he's helping us
because we can spare him and Bi Zhongliang.
Hello?
Who called? He hung up.
Why are you standing here alone?
You must have drank a lot.
Can you last until the end of the banquet?
What else can I do? This place is filled with people from the central headquarters. We must treat them like Buddha.
I'm forced to bow and worship them.
- If I get too drunk, take me back home.- Definitely.
Bicheng, it's time we toast Uncle.
Okay. We'll go after this song.
Shouldn't you take me to toast the star of today's birthday banquet?
We have to make it before Tang Shanhai does.
- Let's go.- You won't wait for the call anymore?
Toasting is more important.
I heard that Division Chief Lou from the Confidential Division
gave Li Moqun a small, golden Buddha statue.
I'm not as ostentatious as he. I also don't want to steal the limelight from him.
You're already ostentatious enough. People are starting to dislike you.
- Hello. Can I please use the phone?- Sure.
Thank you.
Chen Shen, come here!
Hello? I'm looking for Division Chief Bi.
I can't hear you clearly.
Come here. Hurry. Supervisor Li just mentioned you.
- Zhongliang, let's go.- Why are you being so shy?
Come here. This way, please.
- Hello? I'm looking for Division Chief Bi!- Hello?
Come here.
- Hello? Speak louder! I can't hear you clearly.- Hello?
- Hello?- Hello? I'm looking for Division Chief Bi!
Hello?
Bicheng!
Team Leader Chen, can you dance with me?
You two should go dance.
Why? You need Bicheng's permission to dance with me?
No. You two can go. Go ahead.
Of course not.
Hello?
Yes. It'll still take awhile for me to leave.
- Let's toast to Supervisor Li.- Here. Cheers.
Thank you, Zhongliang.
Supervisor, cheers.
Chen Shen, why are you still using soda?
If you don't toast me with alcohol today,
you can't leave.
Supervisor,
aren't you just making things difficult for me?
Supervisor, I'll toast you on behalf of Chen Shen.
You can't represent him.
How about I don't walk out?
I'll roll outside like I was kicked out, okay?
Of the entire Special Operations Division,
only you dare to toast me with soda.
Hurry and thank Supervisor Li for being so generous.
Such an important figure like Supervisor Li
wouldn't hold a grudge against a nobody like me.
If it was anybody else, he would have punished me to drink ten cups of alcohol and then kick me out.
Come, sit down. Zhongliang,
I can tell that your brother is very courageous.
Even if Chairman Wang (of the Reorganized Government) was sitting here today, you'd still toast him with soda, right?
Important figures like you and Mr. Wang
wouldn't mind a minor character like me.
There's nothing I wouldn't dare.
I was right about you.
Zhongliang, you must lead him well.
Somebody who isn't a flatterer or a suck up
is somebody worthy of heavy responsibilities.
Of course.
Hello? Huh?
Yes, that's right. Yes.
I'm fine. I've been busy lately.
When will you come to Shanghai?
Have you had a child with my older brother yet?
Yes? Then...
Team Leader Tang, how did you meet Bicheng?
A relative introduced us.
Then, you two fell in love at first sight?
Yes.
I'm guessing she liked you first, right?
Why do you think that way?
You are such an outstanding man. You wouldn't lack women around you.
But you don't even know how to give a present.
You didn't even know to celebrate your own wedding anniversary.
You must not have much experience with chasing women.
If she didn't voluntarily court you,
you wouldn't have been able to win her over.
Looks like you are very good at reading people, Miss Liu.
Am I right? How did Bicheng win you over?
Actually, it wasn't that complicated.
We just thought each other was compatible. Plus, our relatives pushed us together.
Then, we decided on the marriage.
It can't be.
Bicheng is always reading books.
She is filled with feminine sentiments.
She wouldn't marry you without a dynamic love story.
It's great! When I have time, I'll come back to visit you.
Yes.
Team Leader Tang.
Stay alert! The fireworks will be at 9 PM!
Where's the food?
Didn't you say you'd bring food for us?
How could he bring us food? Don't even think about it.
Bring what food? Go upstairs to eat!
- When Division Chief saw me, he prepared a whole table of food for us!- Really?
When this is over, we'll go order whatever food we'd like.
- Great, Bian Tou!- Great, right?
You can't eat.
- You!- Go away. Time for the fireworks. Stop messing around.
- Go inside. Carry the fireworks out.- Okay.
- Okay.- Hurry up!
- Hurry.- We'll go upstairs to eat.
Hurry.
- Pick up the pace.- Hurry.
- Supervisor Li is out.- Supervisor Li, happy birthday.
Hey!
Wait. Barberer, you can't break your promise.
You said you'd roll out of this place.
Sure, Supervisor.
I am this fruit. I'll roll out.
Go!
Nice!
Will this work, Supervisor?
You sure have your ways.
Excuse me.
Uncle, I wish you bountiful happiness and longevity.
We wish Supervisor Li...
- Bountiful happiness and longevity.- Bountiful happiness and longevity.
Great.
Shanhai and I are attending a birthday banquet.
- There are a lot of people.- Everyone,
I am thankful.
Later, we'll have fireworks from Nanyang by the front entrance. Everyone, let's view them together.
Supervisor Li, this way please.
Great!
Yes, it's soon.
I need to go watch the fireworks with them now. I'm hanging up.
This is all Old Bi's hard work.
Transporting fireworks from Nanyang takes a lot of money.
Aiya!
Time for the fireworks!
Excuse me.
Division Chief Bi!
- Division Chief Bi!- Stay still!
Division Chief Bi!
What do you want?
- I'll take care of him.- Do you want to die?
- Division Chief Bi!- Shut up!
- Division Chief Bi!- If you need anything, talk later.
- Don't you see that Supervisor Li is setting off fireworks?- What are you doing?
If you need anything, talk later.
I'll take you to Supervisor Li.
Zhongliang, do you know him?
I'm sorry, Supervisor Li. He's a spy who works for me.
Watch the fireworks.
I think he has something urgent for you. You can go first.
No need. Nothing is more urgent that your business.
Let's light the fireworks first.
Supervisor Li, let's light the fireworks first.
Sure!
- Bian Tou.- Begin.
Time for the fireworks!
Listen to my command: ready,
light!
Hurry. Move to the side.
Great!
Look over there.
Great!
The fireworks are shooting up so high!
There's an assassin!
They're killing people!
Let's go! Chase him!
This way! Chase him!
Hurry! Chase him!
- Chen Shen, are you okay?- I'm fine.
Bicheng, check on Uncle!
- Uncle, are you alright?- I'm fine.
- Zhongliang, are you okay?- I'm okay.
Zhongliang, you're not hurt, right?
I'm fine, Supervisor Li. The Heavens don't want me yet.
He died for you.
Thank you, Team Leader Tang, for saving me.
You're welcome. The situation was urgent, so I didn't have time to think and pushed him.
Thank you, Team Leader Tang.
No need to thank me.
Until the ringing of the gun shot, Chen Shen didn't know
whether or not Tang Shanhai would make a move.
But at the moment the flint was lit,
a bullet changed the fate of five people at the scene.
The moment Wu Long died and Bi Zhongliang survived,
he, Tang Shanhai, and Xu Bicheng
have formed a mutually understood alliance.
Chen Shen can't help but to secretly admire Tang Shanhai.
He used this manslaughter to get rid of Wu Long
and saved Bi Zhongliang.
All of this seems foolproof,
but at the same time, Chen Shen sensed that
the deeply shrewd Tang Shanhai
might be a more troublesome person than Bi Zhongliang.
If he discovers his own identity,
it will involve both the nationalist and communist parties.
Whether they will become enemies or friends in the future
is unknown.
- Supervisor, let's first go inside and drink some water to calm down.- Sure, sure.
Sure.
Let's go.
- Team Leader Tang, assist Team Leader Chen.- Yes, sir.
- Bian Tou, move him away.- Let's go.
At this moment, the happiest person is Xu Bicheng.
She finally doesn't have to be enemies with the person she likes.
They're finally standing on the same side.
This is the exact result she wanted.
And to the current Bi Zhongliang,
what just happened seems too strange.
Wu Long's death isn't that simple.
He had something very important to tell himself.
What did he want to say? Did it relate to Chen Shen?
Did Chen Shen do something against his back?
That shot that killed Wu Long
forever sealed the secret that was almost revealed.
Did somebody deliberately want to murder Wu Long?
But the person who pushed Wu Long in front of him was Tang Shanhai.
He has no relations to Wu Long. Does he have a reason to kill him?
It's clear there isn't. Was it really just a coincidence?
This situation is a mystery.
Bi Zhongliang can't make sense of it yet.
Wait.
It's not very late yet. I think we should talk.
Here, drink more soup.
That other day,
right after I went into the room, they locked the door!
Then, a man wearing black clothes stood there.
"Little girl, do you want to live?
If you want to live, behave and listen to me."
I looked at him, and I knew he was testing my acting skills!
How could I not know that?
"Please don't kill me!
My mom is still waiting to drink my chicken soup at home"
What next?
Then... Then, I asked them,
"We don't know each other. You want money, right"? They said yes.
Then, I thought, they're testing my ability to react to emergency situations.
"Later, I'll introduce my boyfriend to you.
He's very rich. If you let me be the female lead,
my boyfriend will give you a lot of money!
You can have as much as you want."
So?
Isn't my acting very great? I can be a movie queen.
Even the director complimented me for being a good actress.
He insisted on treating me to a meal and raising my popularity.
Li Xiaonan, you were spending time alone with men in a room. Weren't you afraid?
Afraid? Afraid of what?
I already told them that my boyfriend works at Special Operations Division.
After they hear it, their expressions completely changed. They were rushing to suck up to me.
When we played cards later, they purposefully lost to me.
At this moment, Chen Shen felt a trace of doubt.
Did Li Xiaonan really
fool these money-hungry bandits by accident and luck?
Or does she have extraordinary intelligence?
She pretended to be ignorant and dumb to resolve the crisis.
Li Xiaonan helped him retrieve his briefcase before.
He just remembered that if Bi Zhongliang is notified of this,
he wouldn't give up on finding the briefcase's secret.
Did Li Xiaonan really never open his briefcase?
Or did she use her extraordinary abilities
to help him hide his secret,
even without him knowing?
I know that I'm wrong.
I shouldn't have asked Tao Dachun to kidnap Li Xiaonan without permission,
but if you ever listen to me, I wouldn't take things into my own hands.
There's evidence that we can instigate Chen Shen.
If he hadn't helped us tonight, we would've been exposed.
Chen Shen helped us. That is a lucky outcome,
but this doesn't mean your actions were justified.
I know.
Chen Shen doesn't have to die, but I should still remind you:
We are living among a group of jackals and wolves.
Any mistake you make can cause our death,
including Chen Shen's death.
Today, when you broke that plate...
When you ran towards Chen Shen right after the gun was shot...
- Chen Shen, are you okay?- I'm fine.
People can use these two incidents to link you to the assassination tonight. Did you think of that?
I know that I was wrong.
I'm willing to accept any punishments from the organization.
