Have you heard about the Japanese's important intelligence?
It probably hasn't reached our Operations Division yet.
Once the conspiracy succeeds, it'll create huge damage.
Helping us find this intelligence is also helping yourself.
The leaders are asking us to find the special plan.
Bi Zhongliang is always warding against you. How can you search?
I want Bicheng to become a secretary at Operations Division's classified archives room.
Do you still remember my classmate from Whampoa Academy called Zhou Li?
On that prisoner transfer notice file today, I saw her name.
If it's really her, what do you plan to do?
I want to rescue her.
- Episode 15 -
Go on over.
Don't take too long. I'll wait outside.
Bicheng.
Bicheng?
Do you know?
Zhou Li had started her own family,
but her husband still doesn't know she's locked here.
When she was arrested,
her child was only 3 months old.
I know you've helped me a lot.
You've been doing your best to help me.
I thought I'd be satisfied
after just seeing her once,
but...
for some unknown reason,
my heart is aching even more now.
Zhou Li is such a good person.
Such, such a good person.
That's enough.
Humans on earth need to withstand waves and waves of destruction.
If you understand this point,
everything becomes bearable.
B-But I think it's just too hard.
It's too hard. I can't do it.
This is too hard!
I know.
But for a person like Zhou Li,
who is placed in a lifeless prison,
death is an escape.
But people like us need to continue living.
We can only bear the pain, day after day.
We have no choice.
Thus, there's no need for you to worry for her.
Your pain and your tears
are only an expression of anger at your own helplessness.
But what can anger do?
Where did you go? I bought the medicine. You weren't home.
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
Are you upset over Zhou Li's situation?
I already know your answer.
You don't need to say anything more.
[Team 1 Leader Office]
Team Leader Chen,
this is the medical report of the prisoner that you wanted.
Thanks, Doctor Jiang. I owe you one.
No, no, no. Team Leader Chen, please don't say that.
In the past, you helped me.
But those pictures...
Can you return them to me?
Thank you.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you get this back.
I can promise that I won't leak any of this information.
I'd like to remind you of one thing:
Hurry and break it off with this woman.
If you can't, she can become a time bomb.
Secretary Sun is a highly valued follower of Li Moqun.
Break it off.
Okay.
- Bicheng. - Director.
Print these meeting minutes and archive them.
Okay.
Heads or tails?
Heads, I will rescue Zhou Li.
Tails, I will give up.
No. No matter what, I must go save her.
According to the plan, at 10 o'clock,
they will depart from Caohejing Prison for Tilanqiao Prison.
The agent in charge of the escort is called Bian Tou.
There will be 5 or 6 more escorts in the prison van.
The area around Qiaojiashan is very disorderly and chaotic.
Also, it's very close to our stronghold.
If we reach our stronghold, we can evacuate safely,
so this is the most suitable place for action.
They will reach Qiaojiashan around 10:30 a.m.
Okay. At that time, I'll set up a tea shop nearby and find an opportunity for action.
Dachun, you guys must be careful.
If it's not successful, immediately retreat. Don't try to push your luck.
Bicheng,
you've become more and more mature.
No wonder Shanhai let you inform me of this operation with ease.
If Operations Division didn't suddenly send Shanhai on a mission,
he wouldn't send me here.
He already criticized me for kidnapping Li Xiaonan last time.
He's just overreacting.
With me helping you, no big trouble will arise.
Dachun, thank you.
No need to thank me.
Is he treating you well, while you two are together?
He treats me well and respects me.
We have an ordinary coworker relationship.
That's good.
This is the name list of the rescue.
This person called Zhou Li is my former classmate and friend.
Zhou Li?
In our squad, there's a man called Lü Ming whose wife is called Zhou Li.
Since she disappeared five months ago, we haven't received any news of her.
Could she be the same person?
At the time, did they have a 3-month-old daughter?
I think so.
They sent her back to their hometown Changxing.
This is great!
I was planning to help Zhou Li
find her family after rescuing her.
What a fortunate turn of events!
Bicheng, you are such a kind person.
You are always thinking for others' sake.
Dachun, you are the kind person.
You're also the one taking the biggest risk.
I...
I'm used to it.
Dachun,
have you considered the outcome if this operation fails?
I won't give up without a fight.
If we fail, we still have the KCN.
Dachun, I won't allow you to die.
With those words from you, even if I die, it'll be worth it.
Dachun,
I love eating your zongzi the most.
That's right. I still need to make zongzi for you.
I definitely won't die.
I'll be waiting.
Also, we need a backup plan just in case anything unpredictable happens.
Huh?
What if the information leaks, and they change the escort route?
What will we do then?
If, just as a scenario,
you don't see the prisoner van at 11 o'clock,
and I haven't notified you of any updated news, it means to give up on the rescue.
We won't save her anymore?
Although saving her is important, your lives are also important.
You don't need to worry about the rest. Hurry and go back.
- You all must be careful. - Okay.
You should also be careful when you're leaving.

Who's that woman?
Don't ask.
Why are you here?
I'm hungry, so I'm looking for food.
I just so happen to have something to tell you. Let's go.
I brewed some cold medicine for you. It might be cold now.
I'll go heat it up for you.
It's okay.
Zhou Li's situation...
I can understand how you feel,
but I'm sorry. I can't allow you to take this risk.
It's okay. I understand.
Please give me some time.
After tomorrow's prison transfer,
we won't have any regrets remaining.
What time is it now? Why is Bian Tou still not here?
He's just wasting our time.
Bian Tou, hurry up!
- Move aside! - What are you doing?
Hold the bike!
Bian Tou!
What's the situation?
Last night, my mother's stomach was hurting like crazy.
I carried her to the hospital before daybreak.
They say she has an intestinal perforation
- and needs surgery. - What's the cost?
¥50.
- Here. - Thanks, boss.
Thanks, boss.
Boss,
I'm in charge of the prisoner transfer today.
We need to arrive at Caohejing by 9 o'clock, but I...
- I don't have time... - All right. Just go to the hospital. I'll take your place in the escort.
Thank you. Thank you, boss. When my mom returns, we'll sincerely thank you.
Go on.
Bian Tou's mom is hospitalized?
That's right. I heard it happened last night.
Take the trip?
No problem.
After all, it's the task of operations team one.
Of course, if you have another candidate,
I can go home for a nap.
Stop with the nonsense.
Safety first, okay?
- Go on. - I'm leaving.
Okay. Hey!
Give this to Bian Tou. Say it's from you.
Thanks. I'm leaving.
You mustn't go to the prisoner escort.
You want to rescue the prisoner?
It's all too late now. I can't stop the operation, so you mustn't go!
I don't believe that Tang Shanhai approved of this.
He doesn't approve or support this operation,
but what if this succeeds?
Why are you still so willful?
In this world, all risky attempts
have a price.
I was wrong. I didn't think you'd suddenly become the escort.
I don't know what to do now, either.
I will try my best to notify them,
and then... Can you help me buy time?
There are strict regulations involved in the prisoner escort process.
Normally, no deviations are tolerated, including the time.
I-I know. That's why I told the rescuers
that if they don't see the prisoner van by 11 o'clock, they'll terminate the operation.
Can you try your best and help delay?
Where?
Qiaojiashan.
Stay in the division. Don't give anyone an opportunity to suspect you.
Qiaojiashan?
That's right.
What else did you hear?
They were speaking too softly, and I was afraid to get too close
and have them discover me. That's all I heard.
Qiaojiashan?
What does this mean?
Division Chief, are they possibly having a secret date?
Today, Chen Shen will be escorting a batch of prisoners from Caohejing Prison.
What's his route?
Oh! That's right!
- He'll pass by Qiaojiashan. - Map.
Okay.
Division Chief,
are they possibly teaming up to rescue a prisoner?
Boss, you're personally leading the team today?
- Are you stupid? It's so obvious. - Let's depart.
Hey.
Get in the car! Hurry!
Hurry!
Men in the back, keep up!
Hurry!
Everyone, move faster.
Hurry up. Hurry.
Division Chief, what do we do now?
Have men keep a close eye on Xu Bicheng.
Take some men to surround Qiaojiashan.
They have a fishing rod,
but we have a fishing net.
Yes, sir.
These days, we need to be careful.
I'll go now.
What happened?
I think I committed a grave mistake.
I really want to rescue Zhou Li.
Originally, my plan was completely foolproof.
If Tao Dachun and Chen Shen run into each other again,
what will I do?
I don't want Chen Shen to die.
What should I do?
What you should do?
Why do you only ask me that once the situation becomes out of hand?
I also want to ask you what to do!
I know that I'm at fault,
but even if you criticize me now,
it'll be useless.
If it could help with the situation,
you can criticize me all you want.
I really need your help right now.
When you kidnapped Li Xiaonan, what did you promise me?
Why are you committing the same mistake again?
But even if you criticize me now,
it's pointless.
If it could help with the situation,
you can criticize me all you want.
I really need your help right now.
I can't just watch Zhou Li die.
I can't do it.
Then, have you thought about
the fact that even more people would die, once the plan changes?
I've considered any emergency situations.
Thus, Tao Dachun and I decided that
if they don't see the prisoner van by 11 o'clock, the rescue will be called off.
I already told Chen Shen to do his best to delay.
What if he can't?
This is how a bloody storm will begin, and you will be its director.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Qiaojiashan to find Tao Dachun to stop the operation.
Come back!
If the person who opened the door really heard something,
Bi Zhongliang's men would have Qiaojiashan surrounded by now.
Did Bian Tou get a promotion? Why is the almighty Team Leader Chen coming here personally?
What is this situation?
Why?
You don't want me to visit you?
No need.
If you go easier on me at the poker table, it'll be enough.
That's easy.
Here, here. People in the back, hurry up.
Everyone, stay in line.
You, hurry up.
Ones in the back, hurry!
Sir! The ten prisoners to be transferred are all here.
Roll-call time.
Okay.
Right now, we need to cooperate with each other.
You attract their attention. I'll be the one to notify Old Tao.
Okay.

Hello?
Secretary Sun.
This is Shanhai.
Didn't Supervisor Li buy a new house
for Miss Liu awhile back?
Yes. He told me he wants to find some new furniture for her.
That's right. My operations team just so happened to receive a batch of rosewood.
I was thinking we can just prepare a set of furniture and deliver it to Miss Liu.
That's great!
Shanhai, you're so thoughtful. Supervisor Li would be happy.
It's only natural that I would help Supervisor Li with errands.
How about I go deliver the wood this afternoon?
Sure. Go ahead.
I'll call Miss Liu and tell her to wait at home for you.
Okay.
Then, goodbye.
Ma'am, please come on.
Sit tight.
Chen Sanmei.
Shen Yuexian.
Zhou Li.
Ye Xiaomei.
I'll try my best to inform them.
Also, can you delay?
There are strict regulations involved in the prisoner escort process.
Normally, no deviations are tolerated, including the time.
I-I know. That's why I told the rescuers
that if they don't see the prisoner van by 11 o'clock, they'll terminate the operation.
Can you try your best to delay the schedule?
He needs to delay the time,
and Chen Shen's former student Zhou Li is the best candidate as his partner.
He hopes Zhou Li can be smart
and understand his intentions.
Of course, this'll all depend on luck.
Bai Meimei.
He Ju.
Xie Nan.
I think you still remember me.
There's plenty of fish in the ocean.
Your lovers are everywhere. Isn't that right, Team Leader Chen?
She's my former student,
except she's a failure.
Of course, I remember you.
I just didn't expect my past teacher
to become a filthy Chinese traitor.
In this world, there are only two types of people:
Desperate men and foolish men.
But who is the desperate one,
and who is the foolish one?
Bicheng must have been blind in the past.
Back then, it was all due to your help
that she and I got together so quickly.
Do you want to die? Come over here!
- Come here! - Are you all right, Team Leader Chen?
I'm fine.
It's just some saliva. It can't drown me.
Oh, right. I have a towel in my office. Would you like to wash your face?
No need. I have a towel in the car. I'll go wash my face first.
I'll beat you to death!
I'll teach you a lesson!
I'll beat you!
Don't think I'm afraid to beat women!
I need to teach you a good lesson today!
Come here!
Get up! Why are you pretending to be dead?
Stand up!
Stand up straight!
I'll beat you to death!
You're so cruel.
- Get in the truck. - Okay!
Get up, get up!
Get up, you.
Team Leader Chen.
You finished washing your face?
You really shouldn't provoke a woman.
I thought you did well among women. You even have today.
The women here aren't considered women.
They're tougher than men.
No matter how tough they are, they can't be tougher than bullets.
Team Leader Chen,
- please sign this. - Okay.
Hurry. Keep up!
Fatty Yu, you drive. Don't tire Team Leader.
Okay.
It's getting late. You should go.
Okay. You can get back to your work, then.
I have a meeting at 10 o'clock, so I can't walk you out.
- Okay. See you at the poker table. - Sure.
Hurry up.
Hurry!
Let's go, Team Leader Chen.
- Take off! - Okay.
- What's going on? - Why can't I start up the car?
Wasn't it fine just now?
- Is there a problem with the engine? Get out and take a look. - Okay.
Stop!
Thank you.
Team Leader Tang.
Where are you planning to go?
I'm delivering wood to Supervisor Li's friend. It's used for furniture.
I'm sorry, Team Leader Tang.
Division Chief's order is that the area up ahead is temporarily closed off.
No cars can pass.
This... Even if it's closed off,
we're from the same division. Can't you let me through?
It's Supervisor Li's business.
Team Leader Tang, I can't give any exceptions.
I'm afraid to displease the higher-ups.
If something happens, Division Chief chopping off my head is no big deal,
but if it implicates you, Team Leader Tang,
it'll be bad.
Why is this area closed off?
Division Chief didn't tell you?
No.
Then, I shouldn't say.
Please be tolerant, Team Leader Tang.
I understand.
How about you give me the address?
Once the blockade is called off, I'll personally deliver the wood for you.
Thank you so much, then. Sorry to bother you.
Team Leader Tang, don't thank me.
We're all coworkers.
Take care.
Sit tight.
- To Jisifeier Road. Thank you. - Okay.
Boss, can this be fixed?
Team Leader Chen, how about we switch out this truck? We'll use the one from the prison.
This doesn't adhere to the regulations.
Just take another look.
- Okay. - Boss, I'll get in for a look.
I've driven before.
Oh, okay.
- Ah Da, you get in and search for the problem, too. - Okay.
Boss, I found it!
Huh?
- Where's the problem? - A wire fell.
Oh.
- Hurry and fix it. - Okay.
Come down.
We'll leave it to you.
Excuse me.
There's a change in situation.
Did somebody leak the news?
We're in a bad situation. The people from the Reorganized Government are blockading the nearby area.
It's fine. We never take the main roads.
Worst comes to worst, we'll leave from the Hall's back door.
They don't have enough men. They can't catch us.
It's already 10:30. The van should have arrived by now.
Didn't we agree to wait until 11 o'clock?
We'll wait another 30 minutes.
Although your wife is among the people we're rescuing this time,
you need to follow the rules. You can't ruin this operation!
I understand.
Ah Da, who is typically unreliable, fixed the car perfectly.
This makes Chen Shen upset, but there's nothing he can do about it.
He has no more reasons to delay.
Undoubtedly, his only hope now
is that Xu Bicheng has already terminated the operation.
Boss! It's done!
- Hurry and get in the truck. - Okay!
- Get in the truck. - We're 30 minutes late. We need to rush.
