Sparrow
Operations Division is attracting so much attention. Even a minor character like Chen Shen is being targeted.
Please remove your jealous and think
if Chen Shen really needs to die.
The leaders have assigned me a new traitor elimination order.
When do you want to begin?
I want to see Division Chief Bi! I have something important to report.
Do you see that person downstairs? He knows all details of the nationalist military commission,
including that six-member-group from when you first arrived.
You mean, Chen Shen informed us of Liu Sanmu's opium trade last time?
Yes. It's definitely him.
- Episode 12 -
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.
Actually, you are not a bad agent.
You even deceived me when you pretended like you agreed to the assassination of Chen Shen.
No matter what, for the sake of our safety,
I only have one request for you, okay?
Tell me.
Treat me as the person you trust the most.
In the future, if you have any thoughts or operations,
don't hide it from me.
If you agree to spare Chen Shen, I'll agree to anything.
Okay. Rest early.
What do you think?
It was either a communist or nationalist.
That's all?
If I could give that answer to Li Moqun, why would I ask you?
Then, let's decrease our range.
It might be somebody who attacked us before.
Now, he's agitated. Wu Long just happened to be unlucky,
and "bang".
He got shot.
Somebody told me yesterday
that Xu Bicheng was acting strange.
Did you realize anything?
Actually, there's something
that I should tell you.
Back in Whampoa Military Academy,
she was my student.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
If you wanted to know, you would have found out long ago.
Finding it out from other people is different than finding it out from you!
Yes, it's indeed different.
We were once together,
but she's married now. It's better if less people know about this.
I disagree.
On the contrary, I think you can get closer to her.
Don't joke.
I'm not joking with you.
If you and Xu Bicheng become closer, you can know more about Tang Shanhai.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated
You still suspect Tang Shanhai?
What about you?
If he's on the same side as the assassin,
why would he save you?
What if his goal wasn't to save me,
but to kill Wu Long?
So you want me to seduce Xu Bicheng?
You must remember that
the less flaws a person has, the more dangerous he is.
- Team Leader Chen. - Team Leader Tang.
I was just looking for you. I got some new tea. I don't know if you are interested in trying them together?
Okay.
This way.
How's the investigation of the assassin going?
Issues like this never reach a conclusion. You know that.
Drink tea.
Thank you.
I often hear that for men to become true friends,
they should drink and get drunk together.
Get drunk together?
You are such a gentleman, Team Leader Tang. You hold a red wine glass
and drink one tiny sip at a time. How long will it take for you to get drunk?
That's right.
I've always been cautious, afraid to get drunk.
If Team Leader Tang understood me,
you should know that I do not have much interest in bureaucracy.
My ambition is to become a barber,
but Old Bi thinks he should help a good-for-nothing brother like me,
so now I'm here, scraping by.
I've heard a little bit about your relationship with Division Chief.
The greatest benefit in following Old Bi
is that I understand him.
Most of the time, I know what he is thinking.
If we didn't have him, our days would be even harder to live.
Thus, I often pray to God and Buddha to give him longevity.
Buddha will protect him.
He must.
Otherwise, a slacker like me
will be immediately kicked out.
Team Leader Chen, you're too modest.
Bicheng often brings you up to me.
She said you were her teacher at Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy.
A very good agent.
What else has she told you?
She said that we could become very good friends.
Cheers to you.
Today I had a chat with Chen Shen.
I will notify Hurricane Squad to pause their assassination of him and Bi Zhongliang.
Thank you, Shanhai.
It's your first time saying thank you to me.
If you have an opportunity, tell me about you two's story.
There is nothing to say.
It's all in the past.
For a woman like you, a past love should've been vigorous.
I thought only Liu Meina would ask like that.
Actually, this question was asked to me by Liu Meina.
She asked me if you and I had a past love that was vigorous.
Liu Meina seems to be interested in you.
Does she?
Oh right.
Shouldn't we meet Old Tao immediately and tell him about the stopping of Chen Shen's assassination?
Otherwise, he'll take action without permission like he did in the Hunan restaurant last time.
Okay?
I will notify Old Tao to meet me at our usual place.
This... Aren't we going to see Old Tao? This is the way home.
Someone is following us.
Mister, come take a look. It's fresh fruits.
Take a look. Do you want a banana or an apple?
An apple and banana.
An apple and banana, is that right? Okay, okay.
Here, Mister.
Here.
Do you think it's Bi Zhongliang's men?
For now, we need to be careful with our actions.
Are we not going to see Old Tao anymore?
Wait until the trouble subsides.
Don't worry. Since Bi Zhongliang already suspects us,
he would search for clues about Old Tao.
Old Tao isn't an idiot. He knows to hide.
I'm worried that Old Tao acts reckless again. It wouldn't be as easy to escape next time.
When you were ambushed the last few times,
what kind of people were behind it?
Who told me to be a traitor?
There are some matters that should be taken slowly.
At least I currently have Boss Bi covering for me.
Otherwise, it would be harder for me to take actions.
That's also right.
I heard that you saved his life before, so he treats you like a brother.
Careful, careful.
Pi Pi!
Pi Pi.
Promise me one thing.
Treat Pi Pi as your own son.
Teach him to become a courageous and responsible child.
Pi Pi, what are you doing?
Come in.
Team Leader Chen, this is this month's report.
Thank you.
If you get closer to Xu Bicheng, you can know more details of Tang Shanhai.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated
If you're not busy, do you want to sit for awhile?
Oh.
I have some desserts here that you should like.
Honglingsu pastries from Xinghua Shop?
I remember, in the past, when a six-year-old girl from Suzhou
had her first taste of the Honglingsu pastries that her grandpa brought home from Shanghai.
She thought this was the most delicious thing in the world.
You still remember.
You must not test my memory again.
Actually, there are a lot of things I have already forgotten.
I am just trying to make myself remember some things I feel are useless.
I lived here for too long.
I don't hope to lose my feeling of life.
Why did you come to Shanghai?
Shanghai isn't far from Suzhou. Have you gone to visit home?
No. I don't have any relatives there anymore.
There aren't any people I want to see either.
Then why are you still staying in Shanghai?
How's the taste? Is it still the same feeling?
There are some feelings that have never changed.
You should stay home and be a good housewife. You shouldn't come to this wolf den with Tang Shanhai.
I will work hard in the future.
No.
If you want to survive here, you should maintain your stupidity.
And let people believe in your stupidity.
Tang Shanhai has also said words like this.
I'm starting to like your husband a little now.
Alright, you can tell me why you kidnapped Li Xiaonan now, right?
I'm really sorry about this matter.
I was worried you'd be in danger at the time.
Understood.
In the future, say what you have to say directly. That way we can live longer.
Actually, that day, I just found some hooligans
and had them kidnap Li Xiaonan.
Then have them let go of Li Xiaonan after 10 o'clock.
After they had accomplished the kidnapping, I had them hang a red silk scarf at the window.
I left after seeing the red silk scarf.
Okay.
Now you should tell me how you found Li Xiaonan.
I can't really accept my apprentice
surpassing me yet.
Division Chief, these are the records of the Tangs' whereabouts for these two weeks.
Other than going out one night to watch a movie together,
- everything was normal the rest of the time. - Yes.
They also didn't interact with any suspicious people.
Also, last Sunday, Xu Bicheng went shopping with Mrs. Li at Wing On Department Store.
Are there any clues about the assassin?
Assassin... not yet.
Go on.
Then do you still want Tang Shanhai followed?
Withdraw.
Tang Shanhai is an experienced man. He's not showing any mistakes.
He must have discovered us already.
Yes.
[Qingfeng Tea House]
Are you wanting to imitate Cao Zhi?
Cao Zhi can finish a poem in seven foot steps. Everytime you move a Go piece, you need to eat seven melon seeds.
Not one more, or one less. Seven seeds exactly.
Are you even thinking?
You even know that I eat seven seeds before making one move.
You don't look at anything else, only staring at me.
Are you even thinking?
Okay, let's stop playing.
Don't! Are you annoyed that I'm a bad player?
Who didn't start as a bad player?
If I don't practice more now, who will play with you when you're old? Am I right?
Last time on your birthday,
I suddenly had to go to Nanjing for a trip.
The briefcase that I asked you to get...
Why aren't you curious about what kind of birthday present I got you?
That's right! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten.
Where's the birthday present you promised me? Give it to me.
Also, what exactly was hidden in your briefcase? It was so heavy.
I know.
You must have hid my birthday present in there, right?
If I had known, I would have opened that briefcase and see.
What was hidden?
Forget it.
If you won't tell me, whatever. Anyway, you need to make up
for that present. Why don't you just directly buy a ring and propose to me?
In your dreams.
No, no! What happened? This doesn't count. Restart.
Another round.
It doesn't count, doesn't count. Restart.
Restart.
Here.
What are you doing?
I'm grilling a steak.
Don't you like eating steak the most?
We can go out and eat.
I want to personally grill it for you to eat.
What's wrong with your hand?
I just burned it a little earlier.
Go and wait outside.
Now, it seems like my steak isn't very presentable.
This steak has crispy outer layer, chewy middle layer, and a smooth inner layer.
You can taste "medium rare," "medium well," and "well done" all at the same time.
A master's cooking surely is outstanding.
You're getting better at criticizing people.
You sincerely doing something for me
is more important than anything else.
Thank you, Shanhai.
I should be thanking you.
Thank you for giving me a warm meal.
A feeling of home.
But from now on, leave the cooking to me.
Right.
I noticed the car following us hasn't been coming here for a few days.
I'll go meet Old Tao later
and tell him to stop the assassination of Chen Shen and Bi Zhongliang.
How did you know I wanted to say that?
After you came to Shanghai, you only said thank you to me twice. Both times, it had to do with Chen Shen.
When you thanked me earlier, I knew what you wanted me to do.
Actually, think about it.
Chen Shen is so smart. He definitely has people behind him.
If he has any accidents,
we might be exposed too. Am I right?
What you said is right. Good enough?
Then, I'll wait for you to come home later.

[Yunan Hall]
Let's not contact each other for now.
If there are any emergencies, come find me at Yunan Hall.
Guest,
are you looking for someone or staying overnight?
Looking for someone. Do you know somebody called Old Tao?
I am his relative's friend. I have a verbal message for him.
Old Tao isn't here tonight.
How about you wait here for him for awhile?
Old Tao went out?
That's right. If you are willing to wait,
you're welcome inside this way.
Okay.
Team Leader Chen, you really won't come eat with us?
I originally wanted to, but after that previous fright,
I'm afraid if I meet an assassin at night, I'd burden you two ladies.
Forget it. Let's not go. Later, that self-proclaimed female celebrity will steal him back again. What a killjoy.
I think that Li Xiaonan is being sincere towards you.
Why don't you just marry her?
I'm afraid if she becomes my wife today, she'll be a widow by tomorrow.
Team Leader Chen, how could you speak like an unlucky crow?
Then, how do you speak like a phoenix?
Alright, alright. Another day. I'll be going first.
- Sir, where are you going? - The residential buildings.
Sit tight, Mister.
Sir, have some tea first.
- Does Old Tao often go out? - No.
He's rarely gone outside recently.
Did he say when he'll return?
No.
Then, I won't wait any longer.
Sir, you won't wait anymore?
It's done.
Let's go watch from inside the room.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Boss.
You two are here. Have a look around.
Open the door.
Why did she come?
Might we hurt an innocent person?
We can't worry about all that.
Hey, you should at least tell me what happened.
Hey, this is my house.
Can't you let me live here for awhile?
I'm poor now. Are you still wanting to take rent from me?
- Just let me live here temporarily. - You can't live here.
Everyone bullies me!
Sir, something to drink?
Is there a gentleman who often comes here to drink Kvass?
Are you talking about Captain Chen?
Still here?
He was here, but has already gone,
so I think he's about home.
It's been so long already. Why is there still no reaction?
I've never seen such a bully like Third Brother Pu Dong!
I already got on the rickshaw, but he pulled me off.
Then, I called him a thug, and he found people to beat me up!
You deserved it.
You clearly know that they're rogues, but you purposefully provoked them.
I was bullied. Instead of comforting me, you say that I deserved it. Are you even a man?
All of my adoration to you are for nothing.
You finally see my true side now?
Hurry and leave. If a man is reliable, even pigs can climb trees.
Where do you expect me to go? Sleep on the streets?
Aren't you living in Ningde?
I've already filmed three dramas,
but my company wouldn't even pay me.
I don't have anymore money for rent!
Three dramas? Which three?
Those three! I just finished them.
Li Xiaonan, have you ever acted before?
With your foolish personality, who would want to hire you?
It's those three dramas. Believe it or not!
Look at you. You can't even cry well.
I can't even see your tears, but you're only screaming. Do you understand acting?
I've cried my tears dry. I need to drink some water to replenish it.
What do you want now?
Should I help you find a hotel?
I'm not going anywhere. I'm determined to stay here!
We're here alone. I don't think this is a good idea.
Are you afraid I'd hurt your reputation? Then, marry me!
I'm not even afraid of ruining my noble background, so why are you scared?

Don't move!
What's wrong?
Xiaonan,
don't move.
What exactly is going on?
Don't move, don't move.
What's down there?
Xiaonan, listen to me. Don't be afraid.
There's a bomb underneath.
- A bomb? - Don't move, don't move.
I've never seen a bomb before, Chen Shen.
Chen Shen, don't scare me.
I don't want to die yet. I haven't married you yet.
- I haven't become a big celebrity yet. - Xiaonan, listen to me.
Listen to me.
I'll count to three,
and then you slowly release your grip.
One,
two,
three.
