This is the supervisor of the Confidential Branch of the Nationalist NBIS Military Commission of Chongqing
- Tang Shanhai. - My task is to collect a blacklist of Chinese traitors in Shanghai.
I'm on the Nationalist Hurricane Squad's blacklist. You're on there, too.
Among all of these wicked people, why do you have to kill Chen Shen first?
Who did it?
- I don't know. - Do you know that your emotions will be the biggest weakness of us?
You are taking this too seriously. We are just pretending to be coupled for work.
You don't need to know who I am.
You just need to know that Liu Sanmu is the brother of Liu Sanjin.
We're probably having a problem.
- Episode 10 -
For a person like you who does not need to fend for yourself,
You should just take good care of yourself.
And find a good man who loves you and adores you to death.
This is enough.
Bicheng?
Are you having a load on your mind?
- Bicheng. - Manager Niu.
Please look through this report again. There's something wrong.
I calculated several times and did not get this number.
Sorry, Manager Niu. I will check it again.
Wow, Manager Niu. Those math jobs for the general affairs division are so complex.
I would make mistakes everyday if it was me.
Good, good.
- Make way! Make way! - Hot stuffed buns.
Please get me some buns.
Move fast.
Faster
This way
You know Liu Sanmu. Check if he is the one.
- That's right. It is him. - Good.
Take some people and guard the ways to the pier in case they run away.
Don't worry. Those are all the best opiums.
We never sell the bad ones.
No wonder you're a nationalist. These are so good.
Let's go.
Chase them!
Follow him.
- Catch him alive. - Yes, sir!
- Go find him at the downstream. - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
How was it?
The dealer died. Wu Long jumped into the river. We don't know if he is alive. The Chongqing people went on chasing him.
The Rose Stationery Shop
Hello?
Mr. Tang, this is the Donglian Bookstore. The Three Kingdoms you wanted is here.
We originally had the Journey to the West. But a gentleman was in a rush and bought it first.
Understood.
Pack the Three Kingdoms for me. I will pick it up at night.
It is already packed.
Will the Journey to the West be in stock soon?
I will try my best.
Come in.
Is there any news?
It's all resolved. I've told you. There wouldn't be any problem.
What a relief. I worried about it for the whole day.
I even screwed up the report I gave to Manager Niu.
I made several mistakes.
Don't be so nervous.
Then I'll leave first.
Why didn't you criticize me today?
Why should I criticize you?
I know that I do not have a strong mind.
You would have criticized me if it's in the past.
I was too strict toward you in the past.
I apologize.
It's okay. I will keep improving.
I will be out for dinner tonight. You can go back first.
Okay.
Bicheng.
Meina.
- Why are you so happy? - I'm not.
That's just your words. You were preoccupied this morning.
And now you look like a completely different person after coming out from Leader Tang's office.
What did it say on the book you read this morning?
"Love is the job for a woman's entire life.
All of your emotions are caused by him."
Right?
Now you are embarrassed?
By the way, are you ready for the banquet tomorrow?
What are you going to wear?
What banquet?
The banquet for the birthday of your uncle Supervisor Li.
I would've forgot if you did not mention.
My aunt talked about this before. But they have not determined the location, yet.
It was supposed to be at Shanghai Restaurant initially, but they are afraid that it's dangerous.
Now they changed to Huamao Restaurant. I was only just informed about it.
Meina, you always know the time of the day. I look like a fool in comparison.
Don't say that. It's just that everyone likes to come to my place
to visit and chat. But they all end up asking me for information.
And makes me look like I'm nosy. It's much better to be like you.
You are so quiet and graceful. You can read and write all day. How fascinating!
Meina, you are so nice and always try to make others happy.
I'm not trying to make you happy. Look at yourself. You have a good appearance and a good marriage.
I'm so jealous.
Wow.
Brother Shen, I didn't know you have these skills.
Do you want to learn from me? You can draw the girls you like.
Don't. I've tired before, but I can't.
Tell Sister Wang and Old K to use this picture and split up the search for him.
We must find Wu Long, or else there'll be big trouble.
Understood.
This won't work. Let's split up.
Old K, you follow them. Pi Dan, let's go to the other side.
Old K, take the drawing.
If you can't find him by the shore, ask the nearby civilians.
- Pi Dan, let's go. - Okay.
Sir, have you seen this person before?
- No, no. - Thank you.
Ma'am, have you seen this person before?
- No. - Thank you.
Sir, have you seen this person before?
- No, no. - Thank you.
Have you found the other person yet?
I have no news of it yet. I've sent all of my men out.
- Continue searching until you find him. - I understand.
Are you sure this person is Liu Sanmu?
I'm sure. One of my men knows him.
Also, what should we do about this money?
You can take it.
I can't take this. I already have a wage.
According to rules, this money should be handed to the party leaders, but I can't get in contact with them anytime soon.
The men of the squad have been working hard for me.
This money isn't for you. Split it among them.
Okay. I'll do it.
Brother Shen, we've searched all day. We couldn't find Wu Long.
Continue looking. He's injured, so he'll surely visit a hospital or clinic.
I understand, Brother Shen. If I have news, I'll notify you immediately.
Okay.
- You're back. - Yes.
Are you sure it's all okay now?
The man who bought the opium from Liu Sanmu escaped.
Could there still be trouble for us?
That man is just a hooligan, not a nationalist. He probably doesn't know much,
but just to be safe, we must get rid of him.
I've already asked Old Tao to do it. Don't worry.
Right now, I'm most worried about that person who called us.
The intelligence was true,
so that means that person is sincerely wanting to help us.
Who would it be?
I think it's somebody who understands us very well.
He probably has already guessed our identities, but does not want to reveal it yet.
Who do you think it is?
It could be... Chen Shen.
There'll surely be an answer.
We will receive a telegram reply from the organization leaders tonight at 10 PM. Let's get ready.
Okay.
The message will now begin to play.

This is the answer from the leaders. Do you have any opinions?
[Instigating Chen Shen is too risky. Be cautious.]
[Continue assassination of traitors on blacklist.]
I know that Chen Shen was once your teacher,
but in this place, he is our enemy.
That includes your uncle Li Moqun.
I believe that you were already prepared to fight against your own kin before coming here.

Thank you, teacher. This is the most beautiful present I've ever received.
That means the nationalists haven't found Wu Long, either?
This is troublesome. Would they tattle on you to Tang?
Wu Long doesn't have a deep relationship with the Reorganized Government. He only runs errands for Boss Hua.
People who have spoken to him is only me and Boss Bi.
You mean,
he wouldn't affect your company and Boss Bi's relationship?
Would he go find Boss Bi alone?
He works for Boss Hua. He's not very close to Boss Bi.
Moreover, he doesn't know where Boss Bi is.
Then, what should we do?
Boss Bi is currently on a business trip in Nanjing.
Tomorrow night, he needs to attend a banquet, so he'll return.
If we block all possible paths leading to Boss Bi,
we can find Wu Long.
This was a restless evening for Xu Bicheng.
Chongqing's reply is tantamount to Chen Shen's death sentence.
Should she just sit here and watch him die for the sake of justice?
Xu Bicheng can't get over this issue.
She must prevent Tang Shanhai's operations
with her own methods.
- Morning. - Morning.
I've decided.
You are right. I shouldn't be stubborn.
I should follow the organization's orders.
I'm glad you could think it through.
Then, what are your future plans?
Li Moqun's birthday banquet is a good opportunity to eliminate some traitors.
Then, will you go find Old Tao?
I already called the Division.
I will report directly to the central headquarters today.
- You can take a rickshaw to work alone today. - Okay.
Also, it's best if you don't encounter Liu Meina today.
I'm afraid she can tell that you're unsuccessfully trying to hide a secret.
I'm so useless.
If I'm as smart as Liu Meina, that'd be great.
That's not what I meant.
Think about it.
Liu Meina has no source of support. If she wants to establish herself in Operations Division,
she must be very clever socially.
But you are different. Instead, I think your innocence is your best disguise.
After all, nobody would expect an innocent girl like you to be a special agent.
Why can't I tell that you're complimenting me?
I'm leaving now.
You're so early today, Team Leader Chen.
That's right.
The tiger isn't home, so the monkey claims king.
If Old Bi isn't here, I should at least put on an act.
Hey, when is Division Chief Bi coming back?
He's definitely coming back today for Supervisor Li's birthday banquet. He doesn't dare to skip it.
Hello?
Hello? I'm looking for Division Chief Bi.
Division Chief is not here.
Then, when is he coming back?
Who are you?
I'm Wu Long. I have something important to report to him.
I'm his secretary. If you need anything, just tell me.
This afternoon at 1 PM at Qingfeng Tea House. He must come.
Hello?
Well...
Whose call is that?
Oh, a man called Wu Long. He said he has important information to tell Division Chief.
Wu Long?
Oh, I know. He's one of our spies.
Oh. He said he'll wait for Division Chief this afternoon at 1 PM at Qingfeng Tea House.
Okay. Old Bi told me about this beforehand. I'll go.
Okay.
- You're leaving, Team Leader Chen? - Yes.
The batch of opium was destroyed early this morning.
We still haven't found that escaped hooligan.
- Continue looking. - I understand.
The higher-ups have given us a new task to eliminate the traitors.
When do you plan to take action?
Li Moqun is having a banquet tonight at Shanghai Restaurant.
All followers of the Reorganized Government will be present.
These banquets will be heavily guarded. I'm afraid it'll be hard to make a move.
Its difficulty is undeniable, but there'll still be chances to rid of some people on the outside.
Who do you want me to kill first? Chen Shen?
Sure. Begin with him.
I understand.
Done. Thank you.
Thank you.

- Bicheng. - Dachun.
Are you looking for me?
Yes, yes. I need to tell you something.
I know that directly meeting with you goes against our discipline,
but Shanghai is such a foreign place for me.
I just want to see some old friends.
I understand. If you need anything in the future, come find me at Yunan Hall.
Actually, I came here today because I have a request.
It's about your operations this evening.
What is it?
Do you know Chen Shen's girlfriend?
Yes. That actress called Li Xiaonan.
Yes, her. I don't want her to appear at the banquet tonight.
Why?
Actually, Chen Shen is my teacher from Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Oh.
Is that so? Now I know why you stopped me that other day.
I have something that I haven't tell anyone.
Even Tang Shanhai doesn't know.
Actually when we were in the Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy,
Chen Shen was a bit fond of me.
Oh, I see.
Could you keep the secret for me?
If Tang Shanhai knows this, he would criticize me again.
All right.
Tang Shanhai is such a pedantry. Just ignore him.
I'm now Mrs. Tang nominally.
So I should not have any connections with Chen Shen.
I don't know if Chen Shen has told Li Xiaonan,
or she is sensitive as a woman.
I think Li Xiaonan holds some hostility toward me.
If there is some sense of untrust to me at the banquet,
I'm afraid I will be nervous. Because I was so nervous previously,
I almost got into big problems.
Tang Shanhai has criticized me several times.
I don't want to mess up your plan tonight
because of my nervousness.
Dachun, can you help me?
What do you want me to do?
Sir, please look at this. This is the newest.
Welcome back, Miss.
Miss.
Director, do you think I'm doing good with the lines?
Welcome back, Miss.
Let's talk about that later.
Assistant director, when will they be filming me?
Ah. It depends on the filming schedule.
If it comes your turn... You will need to wait till night.
Thank you so much.
Xiaonan, there's a call for you.
I'm coming.
Hello?
Audition? Of course!
Bolindun Restaurant room 221.
No problem. See you.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Miss.
Hello. Is this the audition for movie "Begonia Flowers"?
Don't move. If you want to live, listen to us.
It worked!
Are those people reliable?
You must unsure Li Xiaonan's safety.
It's inconvenient for either of us to personally partake in this.
If we ask these hooligans who work for money, people won't suspect us.
They're often out here. They know their limits.
Thank you, Dachun.
You should hurry back to avoid people suspecting you.
You must be careful in your operation tonight.
Don't worry.
[Qingfeng Tea House]
Wu Long invited Boss Bi to meet him at Qingfeng Tea House at 1 PM,
but he doesn't know that Boss Bi isn't in Shanghai.
It's too late to contact those men from yesterday.
We'll first catch him live, and hand him over to those people later.
Old K, you're a new face around here. Go wait at Qingfeng Tea House and make sure he stays.
- Pi Dan and I will create a blockage out here. - Okay.
Brother Shen, will he come?
Why? Do you want to make another bet?
No. I lose to you every time.
We are currently in a race.
He can only live if he meets Bi Zhongliang
before I do.
That's why he'll surely come.
I'm sorry.
- Chase him! - Wu Long!
- Move away! - Chase him.
Don't come closer!
Everybody knows that of all the people in the Operations Division, I don't kill.
Liar! You're a nationalist spy!
You want to kill him!
Don't misunderstand, buddy. I don't want to kill you.
Other than you, nobody else knows the time and location of the trade.
Then, how do you know that the nationalists haven't been tailing Liu Sanmu?
I want to see Division Chief Bi!
I'm trying to take you to him, but he's busy right now.
If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't chase you down multiple streets.
Now you've lost both the goods and the man. You should think of an explanation to give Old BI.
Did Division Chief Bi really send you here to find me?
Of course. If you don't want to be captured by the nationalists, come with me now.
When can I see Division Chief Bi?
Maybe he'll have time for you after Li Moqun's banquet tonight.
Okay.
In this current situation, things have become hard to clean up.
Once Wu Long sees Bi Zhongliang and tells him everything,
Chen Shen can only give a plausible explanation by exposing Tang Shanhai.
Through this, Bi Zhongliang wouldn't suspect he is also a nationalist.
At worst, he'll only be blamed for testing Tang Shanhai without permission,
but Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng will be pushed to the end of their lives.
This is a result Chen Shen does not want to see.
At the moment, he doesn't know that
bigger troubles will follow.
Little boy, can you do me a favor?
- Team Leader Chen. - Are you going out?
Division Chief called and asked me to go organize Supervisor Li's banquet with Mrs. Bi.
When is he coming back?
Soon. He's currently on his way back. He'll return before the banquet.
- I'm leaving now. - Sure.
- Okay. - Goodbye.
What are you so busy with? You haven't been bringing us along.
I went to a place inconvenient to have you around, of course.
A date with Miss Li?
When did Team Leader Tang return?
Half an hour ago.
There's a call.
Hello? I am Chen Shen.
An older brother told me that he is holding Li Xiaonan captive.
If you don't want anything to happen to her,
bring ¥1,000 to the soap warehouse
on Xinyi Road tonight at 8 PM.
Don't call the police, and don't bring others with you. Come alone.
Hello?
Sister, are you Li Xiaonan?
Xu Bicheng knows that Chen Shen wouldn't ignore Li Xiaonan's disappearance.
Before finding Li Xiaonan,
he probably wouldn't attend Li Moqun's birthday banquet.
She's unable to stop Tang Shanhai's assassination of Chen Shen,
so she can only use this method to save him
by preventing Chen Shen from showing up at the banquet.
She doesn't know
if this counts as betraying her party, but she can't worry about all that.
She must save Chen Shen, even if it costs her her life.
Hello? Is this Celebrity Movie Company? I'm looking for Li Xiaonan.
She's not there?
When did she leave?
What's wrong, boss?
- Li Xiaonan disappeared. - What?
Where did you go?
I bought a gift for Uncle.
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 right after I ate lunch. Maybe 12:30 PM.
