Sparrow
There's an assassin!
- Chen Shen, are you okay?- I'm fine.
Yesterday, somebody told me that Xu Bicheng was acting strange.
We were once together. I should have told you.
We are currently living among jackals and wolves.
Any mistake you make can lead to our deaths.
Instead, I think you can get closer to her.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated
Bicheng often says that we can become good friends.
Division Chief, these are the records of the Tangs' whereabouts for the past two weeks.
You still suspect Tang Shanhai?
- Episode 13 -
One,
two,
three.
- Xiaonan.- Chen Shen...
Leave from this door. Go as far away as you can.
- Chen Shen...- Go hide against the wall outside.
This bomb isn't too strong.
Go.
Go!
I have a way to deal with it. Leave!
Get closer. If it fails, use your gun!
Yes, sir.
- Why did you come?- No matter what operations you have planned, cancel it immediately!
It's too late.
Hurry and leave!
Chen Shen.
Hey! Leave!
Chen Shen!
Chen Shen, where are you?
Chen Shen!
Thank you.
[Tongren Hospital]
Mrs. Tang, come with me. It's this way.
I know! Why are you so nosy?
If you had been transferred here a few days later, I wouldn't have to put up with your nagging.
You have such a strong fate with hospitals.
Luckily, Mr. Tang was nearby, so he helped me send Chen Shen to the hospital.
Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do.
I only knew Team Leader Chen was in trouble after getting Shanhai's call.
- Chen Shen, Mrs. Tang is here to visit you.- Chen--
Team Leader Chen, are you alright?
I didn't think I would see you two beauties today.
God is so good to me.
You were one step away from death, yet you're still in the mood to smooth talk.
Have you gotten a full-body check-up already? Do you have any internal injuries?
He's fine. They're all external injuries.
These injuries aren't too severe, but can't be ignored.
I need to stay in the hospital for a few days. At the same time, I can lie low here.
Hey, are you two interested in playing a game of mahjong with me here?
- Sure!- Little rascal,
why are you still fooling around in this situation?
Chen Shen!
Now that my face is swollen, I've become so much more important.
Even the boss from Operations Division is here.
Bian Tou, you are such a big-mouth.
No! I only reported it to Division Chief. He insisted on coming, so I couldn't stop him.
Chen Shen, what happened to you? Are you wanting to scare me to death?
Sister-in-Law, I'm fine. I was already at the gates of heaven three times,
but they never let me in. They said that they wouldn't take me.
I won't allow you to say such nonsense!
Mrs. Tang, you're also here.
Yes, Division Chief.
Bicheng.
Shanhai, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Division Chief, you've also come.
Shanhai called me and said Team Leader Chen is hospitalized,
so I came to see if Shanhai is okay.
Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang cares so much for you.
That's right.
Sorry to trouble you. I heard that you sent Chen Shen to the hospital.
It's no trouble. During the incident, I just happened to be buying books nearby.
After hearing the explosion, I rushed over. I didn't expected it'd be Team Leader Chen.
Really? What a coincidence.
Yes. I just came from the doctor's office.
What did the doctor say? Is our Chen Shen okay?
There aren't any big problems. He might have a slight concussion and needs rest.
Concussion? Your brain is already slow to begin with!
Now you have concussion! It'll be harder for you to find a wife now!
I know.
Mrs. Bi, Division Chief Bi.
Young lady, why have I never seen you before?
My name is Li Xiaonan. I am Chen Shen's girlfriend.
You're Chen Shen's girlfriend?
When did Chen Shen find such a pretty girlfriend?
Why didn't you tell me?
Didn't I clearly tell you over the phone to wait for me at home?
You shouldn't have taken more actions against Chen Shen.
I already explained it to you. When I rushed over, Old Tao was already in operation. It was too late to stop him.
If you had informed Old Tao earlier, this wouldn't happen.
You mean, I should risk exposing ourselves to meet with Old Tao?
Chen Shen's life is important,
and mine isn't?
Also, you going to the hospital in the middle of the night to visit Chen Shen is very suspicious. Don't you know that?
What do you want Li Xiaonan to think? More importantly, what do you want Bi Zhongliang to think?
They can think whatever they'd like.
Bi Zhongliang is such a shrewd person. He knows my background.
I care about Chen Shen. So what? Will it expose you?
Then, have you considered my feelings?
A man's wife only cares about another person. What do you expect him to think?
You're getting too deep into the role. We are only partners.
I just can't stand you thinking about another person!
Don't forget the organization's rule. Our relationship is fake.
You can take a rickshaw home first. I need to take care of something.
Bian Tou, drive the car over first.
Okay, Mrs. Bi.
Turns out Chen Shen really likes to eat the small wontons from the stall by the alley of his house,
but it's probably closed at this time.
I'll make them for him.
Our house already has wonton skins and stuffing at the ready.
Mrs. Bi,
in the past, Chen Shen always mentioned how well you treat him.
He said you're both like an older sister and a mother.
In the past, I didn't understand. Now, I finally do.
- Does he say that about me to you?- Yes.
Even he saved our Zhongliang's life. We're a family.
Xiaonan, who is in your family? Are your parents in Shanghai?
What's wrong?
M family members are all gone.
Xiaonan, don't be upset.
I shouldn't have mentioned it. Stop thinking about it.
Mrs. Bi, this is my first time meeting you, but you feel so intimate.
In the future, can I acknowledge you as my older sister?
Sure! Xiaonan, I really like you.
I've never seen Chen Shen have an official girlfriend before.
You have to keep a tight rein on him. If you do,
I won't have to worry so much anymore, right?
Tight rein on him.
Why am I missing a glove?
Did you drop it? I'll go back and help you search for it.
Forget it. No need to search.
Aren't we going home to make wontons?
- Right! Wontons!- Let's go.
Let's go. Wontons!
You've been pretty close to the Tangs recently.
Didn't you tell me to do that?
Nice job.
You completely captivated Xu Bicheng.
Tang Shanhai is about to lose all of his dignity.
Don't you think it's strange? How could it be such a coincidence?
Tang Shanhai just so happens to be nearby your house.
You think he placed the bomb?
Then, he should have shot me, instead of sending me to the hospital.
I can't understand him.
Do you think Hurricane Squad has gone crazy?
They came out to kill me at such a critical moment.
You're the crazy one. You know they're out killing people, but you continue partying.
Misfortunes can't be avoided.
God has already determined how long I can live.
I'm just enjoying every moment I can.
Don't say nonsense, little rascal.
[Yunan Hall]
So? Did he die?
Two things. One, I want Chen Shen and Bi Zhongliang to remain alive for now.
Okay. What's the second one?
Two, the boss of Zhihu Bookstore has to be our men by tomorrow morning.
Understood.
Division Chief, you personally came.
Have you investigated it clearly yet?
Yes. Somebody placed a bomb underneath the thermos bottle.
Little rascal, you've finally met your nemesis.
During the incident, I was buying books at a nearby bookstore.
When I heard the explosion, I rushed over. I didn't expect it to be Team Leader Chen.
Are there bookstores nearby here?
Yes, there's one at the opening of the alley.
[Zhihu Bookstore]
[Welcome. New arrivals: Romance of the Three Kingdoms]
Welcome. Do you two need to buy a book?
Yes. Hello, boss. We are just looking around.
Okay.
Our store has the newly arrived "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
and "Classic of Mountains and Seas." Would you two like one?
What is your name, boss?
My surname is Huang.
- Oh. Hello, Boss Huang.- Hello.
Boss Huang, I need to ask you something.
Please go ahead.
Were you at the store last night?
Yes. I usually close shop at 12 AM midnight.
Around 10 PM last night, this place...
Do you mean the explosion in the residential buildings?
At the time, I had a lot of customers at my store.
I was managing my accounts, and then there was a loud sound.
There was an explosion right up ahead. It was terrifying!
- Boss Huang, you saw it all?- Yes!
Boss Huang, then do you remember how many customers you had in the store at that time?
There were three.
- Three?- Yes.
Boss Huang, can you see if any of these pictured people were here?
Sure.
Oh, I have it.
This customer was here.
It's him.
- Are you sure?- Yes.
This customer comes here to buy books often. He's an old customer here.
- Thank you, Boss Huang.- Thank you, Boss Huang.
- You're welcome.- We will leave now.
Okay. If you need anything, come back anytime.
You two, please take care.
Looks like he didn't lie.
That doesn't mean he's not suspicious.
Was he possibly here to be on the lookout?
Then, why didn't he directly kill Chen Shen?
Was it because Li Xiaonan was also at the scene?
They left. Squad Leader, everything was as you predicted.
- Do you want to live?- Yes.
If you want to live, immediately leave Shanghai and never return.
I'm buying this bookstore.
Thank you. Thank you for not killing me.
Thank you.
Mr. Tang's identity is a top secret.
You've seen his picture, so you can't remain in Shanghai, either.
After you deliver this person away, report back to Chongqing.
I will ask the leaders to rearrange your job.
Yes, Squad Leader.
Have you been well over this year?
Nowadays, being alive is good enough.
If you need any help, just tell me.
You've helped me enough.
Brother Shen, rest a bit. I'm going to check on the other patients.
Did you know this nurse from before?
Who is she?
She's pretty, right? Can you help me ask for her birthday and horoscope?
Later, I'll ask Sister-in-Law to find somebody to calculate if we're compatible.
What a joke!
A big celebrity is right in front of you, but you want a nurse?
Help me look. Are these gloves pretty?
A celebrity will look good in anything.
I'm asking you to see
if these would suit your Sister-in-Law, Mrs. Bi.
Li Xiaonan, for a dummy, you're quite cunning at times.
Tell me. Who exactly are you?
Currently, I am Mrs. Bi's younger sister,
your future wife.
I'm telling you, even if you bribe everybody around me, I won't marry you.
If Mrs. Tang wasn't married yet,
would you marry her?
Now that you mention it, I think Mrs. Tang is quite a good woman.
She's gentle and innocent. She'd make a suitable wife.
I just knew it! You treat her different than other women.
Don't think I can't tell.
Even so, I wouldn't marry her. I won't marry anyone.
What nonsense are you saying?
Sister Lanzhi.
Hurry and sit.
Why are you hiding it from me?
Zhongliang just came back from your house. He told me everything.
You two are already living together. Why won't you get married?
What do you mean?
You still want to hide it from me?
Your clothes were already hanging in the same closet!
You still won't marry her? What will happen to her reputation?
S-Sister-in-Law...
Zhongliang and I have already come to a consensus.
After you are discharged, go live in the Operations Division for awhile.
There's still an empty house at the Division.
Let Xiaonan live there for now.
Later, I'll ask somebody to clean it up. You can treat it as your new house.
Xiaonan, do you think that's okay?
Yes!
I'm fine with anything. I'll listen to you, sister.
Xiaonan is so great.
Sister-in-Law, how did this Li Xiaonan bribe you?
Sister, do you think these gloves are suitable?
Do you like them?
Xiaonan, did you buy these for me?
Why are you doing this?
Didn't you lose your glove yesterday?
I passed by a department store today. I thought these would suit you, so I bought them.
Xiaonan, there's no need.
I'm the older sister. I should be the one to purchase gifts for you.
How could you spend money on me?
Sister-in-Law, if you sell me out just for this pair of gloves,
I'll pretend like I never knew you.
Trying to scare your sister-in-law isn't any real capability.
I'm telling you, I'm running a money-losing business to help you find a wife.
I've already decided with Zhongliang.
The money we once saved for our daughter's dowry will all be for you.
You heartless rascal. You want to pretend like you don't know me?
Sister, don't listen to him. He's just saying the opposite of his real thoughts.
That's right! I agree!
You've really decided to settle down your heart?
My heart has been in my body all along.
- How would I settle it down?- Your sister-in-law is constantly working for your marriage.
The only thing she hasn't done is to find a good marriage date for you.
Why are women so keen on getting married?
Not only are they hyped for their own marriages, they also get so excited for others' marriages.
Those two never asked for my opinions. I feel like a prop.
I'll ask you, then.
Do you like Li Xiaonan or not?
I've always treated her as a brother.
How could I marry a brother?
If you meet somebody you really like, would you still say that?
That's reasonable.
That matters even less, then.
You don't plan to give your heart to anybody, anyway.
Marrying anybody is the same.
In a few days, I'll ask people to clean the house. She can move in.
- There are still empty houses in the Division?- Yes.
- Where?- Tang Shanhai's neighboring house.
If you have time, visit her often.
Tang Shanhai would murder me.
Division Chief, we've already prepared the bed and closet.
I'll send it to the apartment this afternoon. What do you think is still missing?
Ask Bian Tou to accompany Miss Li to shop for anything that's missing. I'll pay for it later.
Yes, sir.
Division Chief, is Miss Li really going to marry Team Leader Chen?
Hey, last time, I asked you to search where her hometown is.
Her hometown's Yancheng.
Go to Yancheng and see what other family members she has.
Yes, sir.
Sir, take a look.
It's the newest.
Do you love me?
Of course I love you!
Then... Then, let's elope!
Won't you regret it?
If I can be with you, I'll never regret it.
Cut! Very good!
Next scene!
Hurry, clean this up. Hurry.
Here, study this next scene. It will be like this.
You're here.
- Am I pretty?- Come with me.
This is the male's bathroom.
Third Brother Pu Dong?
Get up!
If your head is chopped off, it wouldn't hurt anymore. Understand?
- I understand my mistake. - Boss.
In this society, if you don't bully others, others will bully you.
It's all the same. But as a man, you bullied a woman.
I don't like you.
I was wrong. I understand my mistake.
I will never offend her again, brother.
Call him "master"!
- Call him "master"!- Master, I was wrong!
Master, please spare me.
Bian Tou.
Get up!
Let's go!
- Stay still. Don't move!- Spare me!
Hold onto him.
Don't move.
Let's go.
I have a brother, too!
Have you eaten yet?
Secretary Sun treated us to dinner tonight, so I couldn't take back the leftovers.
If you haven't eaten yet, I'll go outside with you to eat.
Wait one minute for me. I'm almost done writing.
One, whether in private or in public, Tang Shanhai can't have any unnecessary bodily contact with Xu Bicheng.
Two, after returning home, we are not to have any discussions unrelated to work.
- Three...- Can I interrupt you?
I'm not having a discussion with you.
If you won't agree, I'll immediately contact the organization leaders to transfer me back to Chongqing.
Put up your things first.
- Miss Li.- Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang.
Bian Tou said that you two lived next door,
so I came to visit. I haven't disturbed you, right?
Not at all.
Oh, Bicheng, I forgot to tell you.
Division Chief just arranged for Miss Li to live in the empty apartment next door.
Please come in.
Honglingsu pastries from Xinghua Shop. Chen Shen often buys this for me.
I think you must like these, too, Mrs. Tang.
- This looks pretty delicious.- Yes!
Mrs. Tang, I'm really sorry.
The other day, Mr. Tang risked his life to save Chen Shen. It must have made you worry.
It didn't.
That's good!
Bicheng believes that I would be fine.
After all, I promised to take care of her for her whole life.
Mrs. Tang, I'm so envious of you.
Can you teach me how to win over a man's heart?
If Chen Shen
can say words like that to me, I'll be satisfied.
Don't you have a close relationship with Team Leader Chen? I heard that you two are getting married.
I think
Chen Shen is only verbally denying it,
but he treats me very well deep inside.
Today, he helped me beat up that hooligan who bullied me, Third Brother Pu Dong!
I think a man should be like him
and give his woman a sense of security.
I was just here to visit. I'm leaving now.
It's delicious! You must eat it!
I'm leaving now.
Miss Li, if you have time, come visit often. Bicheng doesn't have many friends in Shanghai.
Okay. Then, I'll go back now. I won't bother you anymore.
Rest early!
If this can give you a sense of security, I'll agree to it.
When you go to sleep, keep this under your pillow. It'll make you feel even safer.
We live a life where even seeing tomorrow's sun is an uncertainty.
I am too foolish to think about
those unreachable things. If my foolishness troubles you
and gives you needless misunderstandings, I'll apologize.
Starting today, I won't overstep my boundaries.
If I do, shoot me with that gun.
The message will now begin to play.
Please record it. 9322

It is reported that communist agent Sparrow is currently searching for a top secret file of the Reorganized Government.
Top secret?
What is this top secret intelligence?
How should we find it? Usually, we can't get close to the confidential archives.
We can only follow this Sparrow to find clues.
The Prime Minister whom I escorted to Nanjing and died halfway
seems to be Sparrow's superior.
From what I've heard, the Operations Division's jail
holds either traitors or dead people.
Prime Minister was able to leave Operations Division alive. It was a miracle.
It's a pity that she still died halfway.
Who do you think killed her?
It's hard to say.
Could it be the communists themselves?
I don't think that's very possible. This isn't their style of conduct. I don't think they did it.
If my identity is also exposed one day, just shoot me.
Let me die a quick death.
I'm saying "if".
What are you saying?
We have the same code name: Rehmannia.
If you are exposed, I can't survive alone.
In the future, I will be more cautious. I'll try not to burden you.
What burden?
Say,
that Prime Minister was willing to die to protect Sparrow.
That means Sparrow is very important.
If we find Sparrow, would we be very close to finding that special file?
How much do you know about Chen Shen?
It probably wouldn't be Chen Shen.
He was my teacher at Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Later, he went on the battlefield. Then, he followed Bi Zhongliang to Shanghai to work for the Reorganized Government.
He wouldn't have time to get involved with the communists.
The communists are highly skilled in hiding their chess pieces in secrecy.
Think about it. Sparrow is so prominent, yet the Reorganized Government has never been able to capture him.
It means that his background is too clean,
so no faults can be found.
I've already confirmed with our higher-ups: Chen Shen isn't one of us.
Then, why would he help us?
Would he risk his life for a mere student like you?
