This Zhou Li was my previous classmate and good friend.
Zhou Li?
Today, Chen Shen will be transferring a group of prisoners
from Caohejing Prison. What is their route?
Our prisoner transfer procedure is very strict.
Usually, no deviations must occur, including time.
They aren't conniving to save the prisoners, right?
- What happened? - I seem to have committed a grave mistake.
This is how a bloody storm will begin, and you will be its director.
I am not following this order.
She is my wife. My wife.
- Episode 17 -
You're building quite a good relationship with her.
It was you who told me to seduce her.
Don't be seduced by her, instead.
Don't worry. I won't.
Second matter. During the process of transferring the prisoners,
did anything suspicious happen?
You seem to have arrived at Qiaojiashan a bit late today.
Right. The truck had a malfunction before we left
Caohejing Prison. Fatty Yu spent 30 minutes before he was able to fix it.
When we reached Qiaojiashan, our tire went flat. Liu Erbao also knows about this.
Don't blame me for being suspicious.
The reason I didn't immediately have you replaced is because I was afraid to alarm the enemies.
This morning, there are again two of our men
who were silently killed in Qiaojiashan.
There were initially a group of suspicious men in Qiaojiashan this morning.
I was waiting for them to make their move and then to arrest them all.
But what? They all suddenly dispersed, and I was only able to arrest one person.
Tell me. Doesn't that mean there is a spy among us?
Then it means that this time, I was quite lucky again.
I still have to thank this spy for sparing me.
But the people who knew that you were transferring prisoners aren't that few.
But those who knew that you had set up an ambush shouldn't be that many, right?
Old Bi wants you to go in.
Okay, Team Leader Chen.
- Division Chief. - Immediately go to Caohejing Prison and get me Fatty Yu.
Yes.
Have they finished asking? When can we leave?
Division Chief.
Sit.
Everyone must be tired already. It's already late.
Other than Liu Meina
and Xu Bicheng staying behind to assist with the investigation, other people can go home now.
Why? Division Chief, we've already finished telling you everything that needed to be said.
Meina, you've been working here for so many years. You should know the rules very clearly.
There are some things that must be clarified first to prove your innocence.
What Division Chief said is right.
Bicheng, just be at ease and stay here for tonight.
- I'll just go home and help you get any toiletries you need. - Okay.
Thank you, Team Leader Tang, for understanding me.
I should. If there are any work-related matters in the division that need our assistance, we should comply with them.
Division Chief, I really never thought that you'd ask Bicheng to stay behind.
Sit. Talk while sitting.
Bicheng has never really had any experience. It is expected for her to have some faults in her work.
But to say that she leaked any information, that is totally impossible.
If such a thing really happened, Supervisor Li will also be involved.
Of course, I know that Bicheng is innocent.
You all are intelligent people. I believe that you all will understand.
I am doing this just to shut other people's mouths.
Think about it. Who is Bicheng? She is a relative of Supervisor Li.
In other people's eyes, she's a royal relative.
I even dared to touch a royal relative, so what can other suspects say now?
Then other than Bicheng and Meina, are there still other suspects?
There are.
Caohejing Prison's Fatty Yu is a top suspect.
Xu Bicheng being considered as one of Bi Zhongliang's
top suspects was no surprise to Chen Shen.
But who is the Hurricane Squad member that got arrested?
How much does he really know? This is currently unknown.
In front of Bi Zhongliang's strong attack,
how long can Xu Bicheng's mental state bear it? This is also currently an unknown.
Thinking about this, Chen Shen can't help but to become very worried.
You really don't plan to go home tonight anymore?
How about I visit Sister-in-law for you?
No need. Tonight, she will be playing Mahjong
with Secretary Sun and the others from the Central Headquarters. She won't get bored.
Fatty Yu seems to be here, too.
He is.
Fatty Yu was always with me.
Tell me. When could he have had the chance to send any message?
He is suspected of interfering with the schedule.
During the time that your truck had a flat tire in Qiaojiashan,
he clearly knew that Liu Erbao had set up an ambush.
At this time, he totally could have sent his accomplice some order.
Then what about Xu Bicheng and Liu Meina?
Do you think that this matter can be successfully done by only one person?
I am just waiting. I am waiting for someone's accomplice
to lose his calm, and show his fox's tail.
Hello?
Aunt?
I'm Shanhai. Is Uncle home?
He's not?
Never mind, then. I'll wait until he returns.
Okay. Goodbye.
I need you to help me.
With what?
Help me put on an act.
Why are you still standing by the door?
I'm hungry already, don't you know? Hurry and buy me some fried buns.
No! Go right now!
I'm going to look for our man now. I want to know who among us was caught.
- Someone is watching you. - That's why I need your help.
Big Hero, how was my acting earlier?
If you really can act like that, you surely will be more famous than Hu Die.
Won't I? I agree.
You really don't plan to ask
why I must wear Tang Shanhai's clothes, and why I asked you to act?
What's to ask about that? I am after all an actress.
I'll just act the way the director said to.
Why must I care about more? Right?
You will help us keep this a secret, right?
Of course.
Mr. Tang saved your life, so he is our savior.
Moreover, I know.
Whatever you do is right.
Have you noticed anything?
Is there anything different? Did you notice anything?
Say, Li Xiaonan, you are a girl, but how come your house
is like that of a man? So messy.
Only you would do this kind of decoration.
I was just too busy with filming. Had no time to clean up.
Didn't you notice that this sofa, this table, and these drawers
are all the same style as that of your original house?
And this window curtain.
I actually went to all fabric shops in Shanghai
to search for this exact checkered design, like that from your old house.
You are the one living here and not me.
Anyway, you will be moving in here to live sooner or later.
Actually, I don't like a checkered curtain design like that.
That was only left by the apartment owner. I was just too lazy to change it.
Just continue striking me down then. Anyway, I'm already used to it.
If you don't do it for a day, that's when I would feel strange.
Say, Li Xiaonan, how come you don't even have the basic vanity,
curiosity, and pride that a woman should have?
You being like this is really hard for me.
I have. It's just that they are nonexistent when in front of you.
Anyway, in this lifetime, I will keep pestering you until the very end.
Say, have all the men in this Operations Division disappeared?
Why are they suspecting the women are the spies?
Other than copying and writing, what can we do?
In the whole Operations Division, we are least like spies.
So irritating. That friend of mine and his family went to Hong Kong.
Can't really contact him for now, so no one can prove my alibi.
But good thing that once he is contacted, he can prove my innocence.
Bicheng, say, it's fine that they made me stay.
But how come they also had you stay?
I also don't know.
I know.
The relative of Fatty Yu is a subordinate of the Reorganized Government in Nanjing.
Division Chief Bi must be afraid of offending the higher-ups,
so he deliberately made you stay.
And also, think about it. You are related to Supervisor Li from the Central Headquarters.
This way, he can give an explanation to the higher-ups.
He is just doing his job.
What are you doing?! I already said it so many times.
The truck is owned by your Operations Division.
If the truck won't start and its tires go flat, it has nothing to do with me.
Say, aren't those very coincidental?
A new truck less than a year old usually doesn't break down,
but how come when it fell into your hands, all kinds of defects came out?
Hey, Liu Erbao, don't dare make unfounded accusations!
If you suspect me, you must first look for evidence!
What did I say? I didn't say anything.
Why are you panicking?
Why are you getting agitated?
Hurry and let me go! I am going to call my Uncle's friend!
Brother Yu, calm down.
We surely will not falsely accuse a good man,
but will also not let a traitor go.
Good thing that the one caught wasn't you.
The man arrested is called Lü Ming.
Hadn't I already instructed you all to withdraw? How come someone still got caught?
We indeed had already withdrawn.
I don't know why he slipped back; and he even got caught.
Ridiculous. Xu Bicheng is making mischief, and all of you had to run wild with her.
What mischief?
We never had an agreement between us that she can give you instructions on my behalf.
I warned you last time about Li Xiaonan's kidnapping.
Only a few days have passed, and you made the same mistake.
How would I know that she would falsify your order?
Tao Dachuen, you are an experienced special agent.
She is using you. Can't you see that?
Based on our rules, our meeting must be kept in total secret.
If not because you broke the rule first and brought her to see me, would I believe her?
There is no point in us arguing who is right or wrong anymore.
The problem now is how are we going to clean up this trouble?
Lü Ming must die because he saw Bicheng.
What did you say earlier?
On that day that Bicheng and I met, he saw it.
Okay. You also take care of your safety when you go back.
Who is that girl?
Don't ask.
Lü Ming is being guarded by Bi Zhongliang so tightly.
If I didn't ask you, I wouldn't even know who the one was arrested.
I won't have a chance to see him.
No other way. How about you withdraw first?
How?
Xu Bicheng is being detained by Bi Zhongliang.
If I leave, she will die.
Then what should we do? Are you planning to die together?
Either we die together or live together.
Does this Lü Ming have any family?
Among the prisoners planned to be saved this time, it included his wife.
He has a daughter less than a year old.
Under the circumstances now, we can only try it with this picture.
[Meeting Room]
May I trouble you... I want to see Division Chief.
Division Chief, this Fatty Yu just won't admit it. He kept saying that he wants to call his second uncle.
You think...
Bicheng.
Divisions Chief, I'll go out first then.
Ms. Xu.
You need anything from me?
What is it?
Divisions Chief,
there is one thing...
that I've recently been keeping in my heart. Haven't slept well for so many days already.
Then are you willing to say it to me?
Everyone says that family problems shouldn't be told to others.
But...
What is it, Bicheng?
Divisions Chief,
actually... I went to see Team Leader Chen today because of this matter.
Really? What really is it about? Tell me.
Shanhai would frequently mysteriously go out
without even saying anything to me.
One day, I discovered that he was in the department store.
He went to buy a vanity table.
And then?
Later on, I discovered
that he actually didn't buy it for me.
Recently, I noticed that he frequently goes to Qiaojiashan.
I suspect that he was hiding a mistress there.
Sometimes, I really can't hold myself back, so I would ask Shanhai.
But he would evade the question, and say that it was a mission given by the division.
I am a woman.
Division Chief, you also know, right?
I am unable to ask too much.
Even if I ask, he also won't say it.
But... Division Chief, you know, right? I feel suffocated.
Bicheng, don't cry.
And then?
I know.
Division Chief, is it really impossible for a man to admit such things?
But I really couldn't stand it, so I went to ask Team Leader Chen.
But Team Leader Chen said that he also doesn't know.
He said that he will help me investigate it.
Division Chief, you aren't conniving with him and also lying to me, right?
Bicheng, you really were thinking too much this time.
I was indeed the one who sent Shanhai to do this mission. I can vouch for him.
And also, I never thought he had such a good sense of discipline, even hiding it from you.
But Division Chief... does he need to hide something like this from me?
He indeed must hide it from you. This is called discipline.
Didn't you train in Whampoa before?
Don't cry now.
Okay.
I won't cry anymore.
The man arrested is called Lü Ming. He is a member of the Shanghai Hurricane Squad.
Right now, the situation is a bit troublesome.
That Zhou Li that Xu Bicheng wanted to save is that Lü Ming's wife.
He also saw Xu Bicheng once.
That's big trouble.
Chen Shen, you might be the only one left that can save Xu Bicheng.
What do you need me to do?
Is there a way to kill Lü Ming?
Bi Zhongliang doesn't trust you two. He also doesn't trust me.
Looks like...
What are you planning to do?
I will tell Lü Ming that only if he dies can his whole family be safe.
Or else, they are on their own.
Division Chief Bi, I'm more at ease now.
Don't worry anymore. Be at ease.
Thank you.
- Then I'll get going. - Okay.
Division Chief Bi, I know that you are only doing your job concerning the attempted prisoner rescue today.
When Uncle sent me here to work in the Classified Archives Room,
he repeatedly instructed me
to listen to you in everything from now on.
In the future, if you have any request
or you need me to do anything, you must tell me.
You must keep this a secret from Supervisor Li.
Don't let him know that you cried in front of me tonight. Or else, I wouldn't dare to continue working here.
No way.
Division Chief Bi, you really helped me resolve this problem that has been bothering me for so long.
From now on, I finally will be able to sleep soundly.
Shanhai is quite a loyal and sincere man.
He is a person that you can entrust the rest of your life to.
I've already read a lot of people in my lifetime. I am confident in my judgement of him.
Go and rest now.
Hope you're right.
Ms. Xu, if you need anything, just call us.
There will always be someone in the corridor that will wait for your orders.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Team Leader Chen, you're back.
Is Xu Bicheng inside?
Perfect. Mr. Tang told me to bring Mrs. Tang some calming medicines.
This...
- Here. - Okay.
Here.
Ms. Xu.
Mr. Tang told me to give you this.
Mr. Tang is asking Mrs. Tang to have a good sleep. Everything will be okay by tomorrow.
Is Old Bi in the prison or in his office?
Division Chief most likely is in his office.
Rest early.
You went to visit Li Xiaonan?
In passing, I also went to check on Tang Shanhai for you.
Really? Did he make any suspicious movement?
What can he do?
Your men are watching him. He is not stupid.
A bunch of useless things. I told them to hide their movements.
Tang Shanhai is also an experienced agent. No one can really hide from him.
Did he tell you anything?
He was just grumbling that you deliberately made Xu Bicheng stay here
just to make Li Moqun look bad.
Tang Shanhai usually works so perfectly and so stably.
He clearly knows our relationship, yet he still dared to make such complaints to you?
That's why I feel that he deliberately did that so I would relay it to you
to express his dissatisfaction with you, and he surely will tell Li Moqun about this.
If I were afraid of people telling on me, I would have been out of this position long ago.
You think I still would be sitting on this seat so stably?
That's why I told you to be more careful.
Don't offend too many people. A huge tree will attract the wind.
Going now.
Lü Ming's arrest is something that Xu Bicheng didn't expect.
She deeply fell into wandering about, not knowing the future.
And Lü Ming saw Xu Bicheng.
This made Chen Shen and Tang Shanhai unable to sleep.
They both were worried that Lü Ming
wouldn't be able to endure the torturous interrogation and tattle on Xu Bicheng.
There's no question that eliminating this time bomb
is their most important task.
Outside the window, there are wind and rain, lighting and thunder.
How are they going to eliminate Xu Bicheng's danger?
Chen Shen and Tang Shanhai don't know where to begin.
Xu Bicheng especially doesn't. Because of her obstinately persisting with her own course, she not only wasn't able to save Zhou Li,
she even caused Lü Ming to also fall into extreme danger
and have to endure inhuman torture.
This kind of guilt brought more unbearable pain
to Xu Bicheng than fear.
[Interrogation Records]
Secretary Qian, did you have fun today?
Team Leader Liu, if there is work like this in the future,
remember me. Thank you so much.
Being a secretary is a waste of your talents.
Don't say that. Let's go drink some alcohol.
Division Chief, the prisoner confessed.
This person is called Lü Ming. He's a member of the Nationalist Hurricane Squad.
Their squad leader is called Tao Dachun.
According to him, Tao Dachun is the only one who has met the mole.
During the day of the operation, because Tao Dachun suddenly received an order to terminate action,
they suddenly withdrew.
He doesn't know the reason or who notified Tao Dachun.
Also, he confessed their secret hideout.
It's Yunnan Hall on Ningde Road.
Going now is too late.
The prisoner has been locked up for a whole night. Hurricane Squad would have left already.
Then, will we still go?
Take some men to see if any clues were left behind.
Yes, sir.
[Classified Archives Room]
I brought some breakfast for you.
Thank you.
Did you sleep well last night?
I slept on the bench in the hallway.
It'd be great if I could go home tonight.
You can.
Hello? Uncle, it's me, Shanhai.
I've been calling you since last night.
Aunt said you weren't home. There's an issue.
Yes,
I really need to report this issue to you.
Hello?
You want me to interrogate the criminal? Where's Liu Erbao?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Do you still want to see your wife?
Do you have a child?
I've always thought that
those doctrines to "sacrifice your small family for the bigger family" is nonsense.
If a man can't even protect his wife and child, what's the point of having faith?
Your faith will only lead to a bloody body and a torn family!
We are all mortals.
What is more practical than a happily and healthily united family?
Tell me! After you tell me, I'll release you.
I'll let you reunite with your wife and family!
Reunite?
How will I reunite with them?
You've even arrested my wife!
Then fulfill your responsibility as a husband!
If...
I help you find that person,
will you release my wife and myself?
Yes!
Happy endings are my favorite. I'll release you both!
The day before the operation,
Tao Dachun met with a woman.
I don't know if she's his boss.
What did she look like?
Around 20 years old, long hair, rather pretty.
If you see her again, will you be able to recognize her?
If he points out Xu Bicheng, I will also be in danger. I must stop him.
Sir!
Division Chief, Supervisor Li Moqun is asking for you on the phone.
Why did he call specifically at this time?
Take him to the meeting room.
Meeting room?
Call every woman of Operations Division to the meeting room for him to see.
Okay.
- Release him. - Yes, sir.
Supervisor Li, you really are falsely accusing me.
Of course, I believe that Bicheng is innocent.
You stay here. I'll bring him over.
Yes, sir.
What are they wanting to do?
- Why did they call us here? - That's right.
What is going on?
What happened?
- They didn't tell us. - So strange.
We've been waiting for so long.
- Do you know? - Wait a little longer.
Bicheng, yesterday it was only us two. Today, everyone's here. What's going on?
What are they wanting to do?
