Tang Shanhai came. He must be Rehmannia.
After they exchange their intelligence,
we can extend our fishing line and catch even bigger fish.
Su Sanxing is inviting me out for lunch.
He wouldn't do this without an interest in mind. Looks like he wants to use you.
Starting now until 3PM this afternoon,
nobody is allowed to leave or enter!
You'll never guess who met up with him.
Who was it?
Tang Shanhai.
Episode 45
If I tell you what I want, will you help me?
As long as I can make it happen.
I want to see Chen Shen.
Thank you, Xiaonan.
Why are you thanking me?
I already said I could do it. You didn't believe me.
Then, is this operation considered a success?
That's good. Luckily, I didn't suffer for nothing.
Where's Bicheng? How is she?
Su Sanxing's men haven't found her yet.
That's good. Bicheng is so smart. You don't need to worry about her.
But... Will Mr. Tang be in trouble?
Drink your soup and go back to sleep. If it's not your business, don't think about it.
Who are you looking for?
Mr. Chen of room 301 told me to get keys from you.
Oh, you're here for Mr. Chen?
Okay, come inside with me. Hey!
Little girl, what's wrong?
Someone, help!
Mr. Tang. No, I mean, you are Mr. Rehmannia.
Before I entered Operations Division, I've already heard of your famous name.
Team Leader Su,
I don't understand what you're saying.
After you see Tao Dachun and Xu Bicheng, you will naturally understand.
If those two are in your hands, you wouldn't hide them from me.
It's okay. You can't scare me.
I'm not trying to scare you.
But I can promise that you'll never leave these doors again.
Mr. Chen, I was so frightened today.
That girl fainted right as she got to the door!
I tried to wake her up
and I also made ginger soup for her. It took a long time for her to wake up!
Originally, I wanted to take her to the hospital,
but then she said no, so I didn't bother.
Mrs. Yu, thank you.
Go buy some things for your child.
Aiyo, no need, Mr. Chen!
We're all family. No need to be so courteous.
- Okay, okay. We're all family. - Thank you.
Where's Shanhai? Is he in trouble?
He probably has told you before that in our line of work, our identities could be exposed any day.
Everyday could be our last day.
He's still alive, right?
Before Su Sanxing finds you, I think he'll be safe.
You will rescue him, right?
But you should also be prepared for the worst.
You must also promise me you'll soon Shanghai as soon as possible.
I won't leave.
I won't leave you. I also won't abandon Shanhai.
Think logically, okay?
Think about it. If he confesses to your identity, you will be wanted by the whole city.
He wouldn't. He wouldn't confess to my identity.
If he does, he will also confess to your identity.
Then, why won't you leave?
Because I once promised somebody.
Right now, my death is the only way to keep your identity hidden.
That's how we'll have more opportunities to get that secret plan.
I must become a rusty nail,
forever stuck inside the enemy's forces until my mission is accomplished.
If you can do it, so can I.
At the worst, I'll die. You and Shanhai are the most important people to me.
I'm prepared to accept any outcome.
If you guys can't return safely, I can accept that.
Thus, I won't persuade for you to leave with me.
Also, please don't persuade for me to leave, okay?
You said that you met your old friend from Chongqing, who switched your hat?
Who are you trying to trick?
Brother Tang, I have concrete evidence now.
Xu Bicheng has already fled.
It's pointless for you to keep this up.
I've told you all that I know.
I don't know the rest.
Su Sanxing,
anger reveals your weaknesses.
Am I angry?
I'm not. I don't need to be angry at a defeated opponent.
Tang Shanhai, no matter how arrogant you are, you'll be sentenced to death.
If you keep being stubborn, I'll use even harsher tormenting methods on you.
I promise that I'll personally deliver you to hell.
I want to see Li Moqun.
You can't see him.
He can't come see you; you can't go see him.
He also can't save you.
Brother Tang, good luck.
Since the moment he was caught,
Tang Shanhai's heart was filled with worry.
In the end, he still dragged Xu Bicheng down with him.
Luckily, she has escaped in time.
He felt relieved. He finally has nothing left to fear.
General Kagesa, could there have been a mistake?
Tang Shanhai was relaying messages to the Nationalist Government?
That's impossible. That is impossible.
Your niece Xu Bicheng still hasn't been found.
Your nephew-in-law was caught by us red handed
when he was meeting up with the Nationalist liaison. We have enough evidence.
Supervisor Li, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?
Frame up! This must be a frame up!
There are so many people in the Operations Division that envy talented individuals.
They want to bring me down. That's why they framed Tang Shanhai up!
Really? I'm sure you know who envies you among the people in the Division.
I think that you won't recommend someone who is not on your side to the position of director of the East Asia Political Research Institute, right?
Su Sanxing? Was it him who caught Tang Shanhai?
That's right. The Su Sanxing that you recommended is indeed a capable person.
But at the same time, the Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng you placed in the Operations Division
are actually Rehmannia!
Supervisor Li, isn't your judgement of people
too different?
Supervisor Li.
Do you know why I hit you?
Please enlighten me.
The Special Agents Central Headquarters never lacked an able person.
Before doing things, one must first learn how to be human.
I didn't inform you and colluded with
the Service Office Mei to arrest Tang Shanhai. I indeed committed the crime of acting beyond my authority.
I didn't follow the rules in the Special Agents Central Headquarters. I am at fault.
But I truly believe that you must have been deceived by Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng.
You surely has no involvement with the two of them.
Did you think those words can cleanly dissociate me with them?
You totally don't understand the Special Agents Central Headquarters!
Don't bear too much ambition.
Boss, I already told Zhu Zhu to accompany Ms. Li more these next few days.
Her stomach illness really scared me.
Didn't I already tell you to get closer to that Ah Qiang?
Why didn't he know anything about Su Sanxing's sudden operation?
I already scolded him. When I saw him return from the hospital, I already scolded him.
I told him that he cannot take our money if he doesn't work for us.
He said that since Zeng Shu died,
Su Sanxing became so afraid of death that he doesn't trust anyone.
In this matter, Su Sanxing personally went to Service Office Mei to look for Kagesa.
None of his men knew about it.
Where is Tang Shanhai now?
Probably inside the Service Office Mei.
With that Su Sanxing hugging on Kagesa's legs, don't even think that he'll let go.
Qiang.
Let's go.
There's no one here!
Move aside!
Hello.
Later, go to the telephone office and check the location of the last call Xu Bicheng received.
Yes.
Director, I found a letter.
[For Tang Shanhai]
Shanhai, when you receive this letter,
I would have already left.
Ever since I joined the Reorganized Government with you,
although I lived a lavish life, I was never at ease.
- I never dared to forget the teachings of the Nationalists. - "I never dared to forget the teachings of the Nationalists."
Until I met Tao Dachun, an old friend.
He told me that even if I'm within the enemy camp, I can still serve my country.
"Until I met Tao Dachun, an old friend."
"He told me that even if I'm within the enemy camp, I can still serve my country."
Your relationship with Liu Meina had deeply disappointed me.
I am Rehmannia. Please forgive me for using you all this time.
Goodbye. From, Bicheng.
So she ran away with another man.
Can you do your investigation well?
Yes.
Supervisor, being angry at an insensible person like Su Sanxing
is not worth it.
He is a natural born rebel.
He shouldn't be called "Sanxing" (meaning "three provinces"). He should be called "Sanxing" (meaning "three loyalties").
He gave us the whole Nationalist Shanghai District with both hands.
Now, he is a mere team leader at the Division and a mere director at the Institute.
Would that satisfy his appetite?
He is desiring this position.
Supervisor, you are being overly worried. He should first have that ability first.
Even if he is now clinging onto Service Office Mei,
General Kagesa will still give you respect more or less.
Do you think we should think of a way
to get Tang Shanhai out of Service Office Mei's prison
and transfer to Special Operations Division for interrogation?
Won't power return to your hands again?
I also watched how Zhongliang of the Special Operations Division grew.
Of course, Zhongliang has his own motives.
But overall,
he is not so insensible.
Right. When Su Sanxing was promoted, the person who lost power the most is Bi Zhongliang.
Transfer this matter to Bi Zhongliang and it will suppress Su Sanxing.
Xiao Sun, actually, this position
is not easy to sit on.
Yes.
I cannot let any of my subordinates feel that I am favoring anyone.
I still have to watch them continuously fighting,
and watch what each person is thinking within their fights.
But the Special Agents Central Headquarters, this fish pond, must survive.
Supervisor, you have worked hard.
- I really don't have any choice. - Yes, yes.
Just like this time, Tang Shanhai has been arrested.
This Xu Bicheng also can't be found.
But these two people are my relatives.
Tell me. What should I do?
Supervisor, the more I think that you should hand this matter to Bi Zhongliang.
If Tang Shanhai is really Rehmannia, then the person who should go to General Kagesa to admit his mistake
is not you but it is Bi Zhongliang.
If he doesn't want to bear this responsibility, he surely will help you think of a way.
How about this?
I'll go to General Kagesa and think of a way to get him out.
You go find Zhongliang.
Treat him out for a meal. Sell a favor to him.
Think of a way to get him to take Shanhai back for interrogation.
Okay, I understand, supervisor. Don't worry.
- Then, I'll go now. - Okay.
Thank you. Thank you for your help, Secretary Sun.
Okay, okay. Then, tonight at room 6 of Huamao Restaurant?
I'll treat you!
Please don't say that. No need to be so courteous.
Okay! See you later.
Li Moqun agreed to release Tang Shanhai?
He allowed me to take him back here.
Su Sanxing took the lead in this situation.
He also arrested Li Moqun's relative. Isn't he obviously trying to make a fool of Li Moqun?
Even if we bring Tang Shanhai back here for interrogation, we can't save him for certain.
The Japanese won't be so easily tricked.
Actually, you're more experienced than I am.
You rascal. You're obviously up to no good, but you're forcing me to say this?
As my division chief and older brother, I can't just steal your limelight.
Hide Xu Bicheng well. Don't let anybody find her.
I'm really hoping somebody can find her and help me pass on a message to her.
If you know where she is, please tell me.
What? Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng got into trouble just like that?
When Xu Bicheng escaped last time, I called her.
Su Sanxing wants to find Xu Bicheng. He'll definitely use the phone call as a clue.
Go to the telephone office and help me solve this problem.
I understand.
You did well with the Changlong Restaurant issue last time.
It involved your life. How could I do a bad job?
Brother Shen, how's your injury?
It's fine. You're always cleaning up after me.
In the future, you should also be careful.
Okay. Thanks for your care.
[Telephone Office Call Log]
Director, the last phone call that Xu Bicheng received that day
was indeed from Tang Shanhai when he returned to the Special Operations Division.
The original address where the nationalists were supposed to meet was that...
Ba...Baliqiao Road number 97. Did you look into it?
I already checked it. That place is a teahouse.
The owner said that there was indeed someone who reserved the function room that night. But afterwards, they didn't come.
I also asked about the person but the owner said that he can't remember him well.
He only knows that he was wearing a long sleeves shirt and is around my height.
Let's go to Service Office Mei. I don't believe that we won't be able to open Tang Shanhai's mouth.
I am Su Sanxing.
Hi, Team Captain Shibuya.
Tang Shanhai will be transferred to the Special Operations Division to be interrogated?
General Kagesa, I can make Tang Shanhai admit to his crimes soon.
Why then must you send him back to the Special Operations Division to be interrogated?
Director Su, don't get mad. The idea to send Tang Shanhai back
was actually from Supervisor Li.
Supervisor Li?
I do know that the person was caught by you.
I will remember this merit in my heart.
But interrogating the prisoner isn't within the bounds of your duty.
Supervisor Li made the initiative to follow usual proceedings
and transfer the criminal to the Special Operations Division.
I think that reasoning is unarguably true.
But Division Chief Bi has repeatedly failed to find the internal spy.
There is a big possibility that he already has colluded with Tang Shanhai.
If you send him back to the Division like this, aren't you afraid that they will do some tricks?
Director Su,
until now, I also haven't seen
any Chinese who dares to play tricks under my watchful eyes.
How about this? Go back and organize the evidences in your hands
into a folder and hand them over to the Special Operations Division.
I believe that with your abilities, you surely can do more meaningful work
for our Great Imperial Japan.
Thank you for your trust.
[Service Office Mei]
Chen Shen, don't think I don't know what plot you are scheming.
Director Su, considering the fact that you brought Li Xiaonan to the hospital for emergent care,
I won't fuss with you anymore.
But you really shouldn't speak so loudly of my name in front of a lot of people.
I am not close with you. You don't need to call me by my full name.
Let me remind you that the biggest no-no in the Central Headquarters
is not knowing the rules, being arrogant and conceited. If you are able to fully decipher these words,
I believe that your future will be limitless. You're welcome.
[Tang Shanhai's related documents]
Bian Tou.
Oh, right. Don't be too caring when it comes to Li Xiaonan from now on.
Also, stop giving her so many gifts.
Or else, if I keep donating these things,
I also feel quite embarrassed.
Hey, Boss, when you were lecturing Su Sanxing earlier, you were so imposing.
Su Sanxing was so angry that his nostrils were flaring so widely.
If not for Supervisor Li's full support, I also won't dare to lecture him like that.
Hey, Boss, you said earlier that calling people by their full name will bring bad luck.
I also call Su Sanxing by his full name. Will I meet any bad luck?
You'll be fine. Your backer is quite reliable.
Really? That's right.
Boss, let me tell you. Right now, don't even mention the Division.
Even people from the Central Headquarters, once they hear that I am your subordinate,
they really treat me so courteously!
I don't even buy my own cigarette. They were all gifted to me.
Come in.
I've brought him back.
This is the evidence and testimony that Su Sanxing sent over.
Shanhai, when you receive this letter,
I would have already left.
Ever since I joined the Reorganized Government with you,
although I lived a lavish life, I was never at ease.
I never dared to forget the teachings of the Nationalists.
Until I met Tao Dachun, an old friend.
He told me that even if I'm within the enemy camp, I can still serve my country.
Your relationship with Liu Meina had deeply disappointed me.
Please forgive me for using you all this time.
Goodbye. From, Bicheng.
This letter looks so legitimate.
Have you decided what to say to Chongqing yet?
Of course, we can't be the first to bring it up. We need Tang Shanhai to do it.
This is like doing business: we can't reveal our bottom line.
I heard Li Moqun was also taken to Service Office Mei for interrogation.
Su Sanxing, this time, has gotten us all.
Right now, you don't hate him the most. It's Li Moqun.
Did you this Li Moqun, this sly fox, would give up so easily?
Maybe one day, he'll push all the blame to me.
Tang Shanhai knows that you helped him before.
When he confesses to his relationship with you, we'll all be doomed.
Then, do you want to make a comeback?
If you want to make a comeback, Tang Shanhai can't die.
Is it going to begin now?
Before the execution, I want you to see the sun one last time.
Open the gates.
Bicheng is waiting for you to be freed.
I'm afraid I'll never leave this place again.
If she can be safe, I'll be at ease.
Are you planning to give up?
Do you think Bi Zhongliang, this sly fox, would spare me?
You must trust me.
I know that you're a good person.
This sentence sounds just like a joke.
Who would believe that there are good people in Operations Division?
Neither of us are good people.
Chen Shen, listen up: this incident must end here with me.
I don't want to burden anybody else.
Also,
help me take good care of Bicheng.
I know that you're very brave,
but in terms of courage,
dogs are braver than humans.
But in terms of success, humans are more likely to compromise than dogs.
If you want to die, open these gates.
The dog can break your neck with just one bite.
Sometimes, I like to fantasize that I'm a dog.
That way, I'll only need to know what I'm loyal to.
But right now, I think that humans and dogs are different.
Humans need their own ideals.
Is Bicheng still in Shanghai?
If you're not freed, she won't leave Shanghai.
Thus, I must die here. Then, she will leave at ease.
No. I already promised her that I would save you.
You can't make me embarrass myself in front of the woman I like.
You really have a plan?
Nice job, Ah Si!
That depends on what you can give to Bi Zhongliang and Li Moqun.
In Central Headquarters, anything can be exchanged,
including your life.
Do you really want me to be freed? Don't forget; I'm your love rival.
Miss Li, how are you feeling?
Much better.
I'm basically fine now, but Chen Shen
insisted that I stay here longer.
Brother Shen is doing this for your sake.
It's good to rest for a few extra days.
You can also tell that Chen Shen is starting to care for me, right?
Brother Shen treats us all very well.
Of course he treats you better.
No way!
I'm telling you, he always yells and gets angry at me.
How did you meet Chen Shen?
Brother Shen hasn't told you before?
No. He hid it from me.
I'm guessing it's a secret that can't see daylight.
No. That's not it.
A year ago, I almost died from tuberculosis.
I didn't have money for medical bills or my rents.
The landlord kicked me out into the streets.
At the time, everybody avoided me.
Team Leader Chen took me in and paid for my medical expenses.
He helped me find a house and a job.
Thus, Team Leader Chen is undoubtedly my greatest benefactor.
I see.
Miss Li, please don't mind.
Team Leader Chen and I have a guiltless relationship.
I wouldn't mind!
Many girls like Chen Shen.
There are also many who want to marry him. How could I mind them all?
You have such a great temper.
- I like you. - I also like you!
Big celebrity, are you acting out a confession scene again?
You two can chat. I'm leaving now.
If I can't go to the filming site, I must continue to practice delivering my lines.
You're still not better? I brought delicious food for you!
Mixed noodles with spring scallion from the Bridge of Nine Turnings!
It's delicious!
Eat it while it's hot.
Where's Chen Shen?
He's busy.
Tell him to come here tonight.
Oh, right. Also,
I want to eat Kaisiling's chestnut cakes.
Such top-tier food!
Eat it while it's hot.
So delicious!
Right now,
you look like a kind wife.
Last time, you said you don't like it when I give you necklaces identical to others'.
This time, I picked one I personally thought suits you.
