Where did you go tonight?
Before my uncle returns,
I won't answer any of your questions.
If we want to interrogate Ms. Xu, we need evidence.
The next time you find a witness,
please find a smarter one.
What did you see just now?
I didn't see anything.
Why was this necklace
thrown in the ally of Qiufengdu and Shikumen?
Tell me the truth. Is it yours?
I let somebody else borrow it.
Episode 41
I thought I would never get to see the sky again.
Secretary Qian?
Yes. He's been out since noon. He still hasn't returned.
Su Sanxing, immediately send out people to search for him.
Yes!
Find a way to hide him.
Before you send the telegram, don't let him be seen outside.
These are two fake copies of the Return to Zero Plan. Hide them in Secretary Qian's house.
His house is number 37 on Qingyuan Street.
You walked out of Service Office Mei unscathed.
Since the establishment of Operations Division, you are the first to do so.
Zhongliang, I believe there won't be a second one.
For this,
I admire you.
I had no choice but to create this scheme.
If the spy isn't found, the whole division will be in danger.
Even Central Headquarters will get implicated.
I am torn from anxiety.
Even so, you haven't taken out any of your eyesores.
It's a pity that the spy is still on the loose.
Zhongliang,
do you think General Kagesa will continue to spare you?
Supervisor, no matter if you believe me or not,
I have always been an objective person.
I won't spare any suspects.
If I don't catch the spy, I will surely bear responsibility.
But if the spy continues to roam free,
who do you think will be the next person to bear this burden?
Enough, enough, enough.
Okay.
Sir, take care.
Here's the money.
Go now.
Aiyo, Secretary Qian.
Erbao.
You have hidden yourself well.
You lied to us for so long.
What nonsense are you saying? Move aside, quick.
I'm sorry. I said the wrong things.
I shouldn't call you Secretary Qian. I should call you Rehmannia.
Division Chief and Supervisor are waiting for you.
- I... - Arrest him!
Yes, sir!
I'm just reporting back. Why are you arresting me?
Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Division Chief, I'm innocent! Somebody framed me!
Division Chief, I've worked for you a long time. You understand me the best.
How could I be the spy?
I only know how to run errands and do odd jobs. I don't really know how to use a telegraph.
How can I have such capabilities, Division Chief?
Supervisor, for the operation to catch Rehmannia,
I even spent huge amount money to buy that information, Supervisor...
You know that very well. Isn't it, Supervisor?
But in the end, did Rehmannia appear or not?
This...I also don't know why he didn't...
I know.
I know! I know!
The person who wanted to frame me asked someone to intentionally sell me fake information,
and then lured all our people to be assigned to Jiading.
This...Supervisor, no matter what, I already reported to you
all the information that I got. And also, the order to arrest him,
was also ordered by you.
Then based on what you said,
I'm the one who sent news secretly to Rehmannia and lured away our people?
No. No. Supervisor, that's not what I meant.
Supervisor, it looks like Secretary Qian also want to trick you.
Division Chief, what should I say before you believe me?
Moreover, that night, I went with the whole team to Jiading to make an arrest.
So how could it be me who transmitted out the message at Qiufengdu? I totally won't have the time!
Then when Rehmannia sent out a telegraph, it was only you who wasn't inside the division. How do you explain that?
I followed Chen Shen!
Followed Chen Shen? He already returned two hours ago. Up to where did you follow him?
Wing On Department Store!
- Guess who I saw. - Who?
The leader of the Nationalist Hurricane Squad, Tao Dachun!
I suspect that Chen Shen went over there to meet with him.
Did you see them meet?
I didn't. Tao Dachun was guilty,
so he ran after seeing me. I blocked him off in a blind alley.
When I was about to catch him, I don't know who attacked me from behind my back
with a stick and caused me to lose consciousness.
When I woke up, I realized that I was
tied up inside a dilapidated courtyard.
It was hard for me to finally escape form there and then I ran back here.
Can you really believe these words that you made up?
Division Chief,
everything I said were true.
If you don't believe me, call Chen Shen over and I will confront him directly.
Oh, right, in that dilapidated courtyard, there is still the rope that I was able to cut off.
Go and send people to look for it.
Zhongliang,
I'll leave this matter to you, then.
Come.
Zhongliang, I believe that you won't let any suspect go.
That includes your own brother.
Thank you, Division Chief. Thank you, Supervisor...
Let Su Sanxing do some field work.
I understand.
Okay. I've finished packing.
Men's stuff are really simple. You can pack them all in just one suitcase.
It's also easy to drive a person out of the house. You could just throw them all out.
Are you getting prepared
to be driven out of the house by me anytime?
You can't bear to.
You probably are afraid that I will expose you.
Li Xiaonan,
I must thank you.
Since yesterday up to today, if not because of you, it would have been hard for me to get past these difficulties.
It would have been better if you didn't mention it.
Now that you mentioned it, my heart is really beating fast.
Earlier, at the interrogation room, I--
That necklace situation was just a puzzle!
What if I've answered wrongly?
Are we two both going to...
I just escaped from death's door.
I must slow down first.
Say, Li Xiaonan,
how many abilities have you been hiding from me?
Did I underestimate you?
I already told you before
that I am the movie queen. You didn't believe me.
I've only seen you wear this necklace once. Why don't you wear it?
Can't bear to.
Just want to store it.
Because this is the only valuable item that you gave me.
It sounded like I'm so petty.
Isn't that right? Did you only know it now?
If that's such a valuable item to you, how could you bear to take it out?
Because I know that you surely don't want anything to happen to Bicheng.
I also don't want anything to happen to you.
Actually, at the end of it all, I'm not after valuable treasures.
I just want your heart.
Are you willing to give it?
Team Leader Chen!
Division Chief asked that you go to the interrogation room!
Didn't we just come back? How come you're going again? Do you need me to come with you?
It's fine. The hardest part has already passed.
Hurry and come back then. I'll wait for you to go home together.
Hurry and come back!
Team Leader Chen, Secretary Qian is already in the interrogation room.
Division Chief asked you to go there to verify some matters.
Sure. I'll go there in awhile. You go first.
When will I cut your hair?
I am available anytime. How about you?
- I... - Bicheng!
You're out.
Did they make you suffer?
Xiaonan, thank you so much for this time.
No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me,
during my wedding with Chen Shen,
give us lots of red envelopes! I won't reject them.
Chen Shen is very fortunate to marry
- such a good girl like you. - Maybe Chen Shen is, instead, envious of Mr. Tang.
Oh, right.
Yours. Keep it well.
Thank you.
- You went to Wing On Department Store this afternoon? - Yes.
I accompanied Li Xiaonan to buy some stuff.
That woman was with you to be your cover.
Be my cover? What cover?
You went there to meet up with the leader of the Hurricane Squad Tao Dachun.
You must have noticed that I was following you. That's why you deliberately didn't talk with Tao Dachun.
And then when I blocked off Tao Dachun, you then sneakily knocked me unconscious. Am I right?
Secretary Qian,
if you are saying that I went to Wing On Department Store to meet up with Tao Dachun,
who then can prove that?
There were a lot of people near the main entrance of Wing On who saw him run, and then I chased him up to an alleyway.
If what you say is true,
what basis do you have to say that I went there to meet up with Tao Dachun?
You...
Any people who appeared there is suspicious. Even you too is a suspect.
All the people who appeared in that public square can be suspected to be his accomplice.
Okay. Even if I did go there to meet up with him,
then when I noticed that you were following me, why didn't I just kill you directly
and even let you come back to report on me?
- You... - Huh?
Supervisor Li. Division Chief.
There is indeed a dilapidated courtyard at the alleyway near Wing On Department, but I didn't find any rope.
How can there be no rope?!
I clearly cut off that rope and threw it in that courtyard. Did you search thoroughly?
Who told you that I didn't search thoroughly?
I found these in Secretary Qian's house.
What are those things?
Supervisor Li, it's better if you are the one to look at them.
'Return to Zero' plan...
This...how could this be?!
Division Chief, it's impossible for me to have such things in my house.
Supervisor, someone is framing me. There must be someone who is framing me!
Don't be so agitated.
You are so deceptive. It's a waste of your talent for you to work in Operations Division.
- Take him away. - Division Chief, you must believe me.
I am loyal to the Special Agents Central Headquarters!
Division Chief, they are framing me! Someone is framing me!
You must believe me!
How did he get the 'Return to Zero' plan?
What do you two think?
At the night that the 'Return to Zero' plan was lost, did Secretary Qian return to the Special Operations Division?
But that cannot guarantee that he isn't an accomplice of Liu Meina.
Secretary Qian before has always been courting Liu Meina.
Anyone can see that.
But it is unlikely for Liu Meina to like Secretary Qian.
Will she then be willing to work for him?
I remember that Liu Meina seemed to have an American boyfriend in the past.
Better to let people investigate
if this American guy is someone sent by Secretary Qian to seduce her.
Supervisor Li,
I want to let Su Sanxing handle the interrogation of Secretary Qian.
If we are able to get any results from the interrogation tomorrow,
let's then immediately transfer him to Service Office Mei. What do you think?
Division Chief Bi,
since you are already back,
you still have the final say for matters here in the Division.
For these matters,
you decide.
Yes.
What's wrong?
You didn't even drink wine during the interrogation today.
I am bound to die at anytime.
I wasn't in the mood.
Kagesa, this bastard, only gave me one day.
That's because you're the division chief.
Being an official is tiring.
Being alive is tiring. If you're dead, you won't be tired.
Then, I should be glad that I'm alive.
Yes, it's worthy of celebration.
Now that Secretary Qian is caught, I can drink wine at ease again.
But who knows how many timed bombs are still waiting for us?
Did you tell him about our relationship that night?
So what if I did?
He's still marrying Xiaonan.
Do you know why I told you to leave with him?
Why were you the only one captured?
You were protecting him.
If one is willing to sacrifice one's life for another person,
then one has nothing else to fear.
Shanhai,
I owe you too much.
I'll never be able to repay you.
We came back alive.
We should be thanking the Heavens.
Also, we should thank everybody who once helped us.
You like to listen to Zhou Xuan's disks?
Are you a communist or a nationalist?
Zhou Xuan is from Pathé Records.
I'm asking you: are you a communist or a nationalist?
The less you know, the better.
Why are you guys so smart?
I'm always around you all, but I never knew you were spies.
I seem like an idiot!
Still acting, huh?
All these years, I was wrong about you, Li Xiaonan.
Do you want to train me into an outstanding spy?
Xiaonan,
you should leave.
The luck we had today won't appear everyday.
One Xu Bicheng is already giving me enough of a headache.
If you were in danger next time, I can't guarantee your safety.
Does that mean, in your heart, I'm just as important as Bicheng?
Why do you never understand what I'm trying to say?
I'm saying that you're a hindrance to me.
I know.
You like Bicheng. I'm not an idiot.
It's okay. I don't mind.
If you allow me to stay with you, it'll be enough.
Sleep early. I'm leaving now.
You should leave.
I'm saying that you're a hindrance to me.

Isn't the 16th of this month a good day?
Chen Shen, can you stop dragging it out?
Everybody in the division
knows about your wedding.
Hold the ceremony soon!
Sister-in-Law, don't be so anxious.
I'll only have one wedding in my lifetime.
Of course!
I want to give her the best wedding ceremony.
Too many things happened this month.
I don't think it's suitable to hold a wedding.
You're becoming better at debating now.
I can't convince you otherwise.
You always find such logical excuses.
Moreover, I'm not telling you to get married. I just want you to get engaged!
Zhongliang, say something!
I'll talk.
Chen Shen has been tired these days. Plus, things are busy at the Division.
Don't force him, okay?
If he's already made a decision in his heart, the engagement and the wedding
are only ceremonial.
Sister-in-Law, I think Division Chief Bi is right.
If he still cares about me,
no matter when we hold the wedding, it'll be fine.
That's right.
Xiaonan, why are you also saying that?
What is this situation? I'm telling you two to help me convince him.
Why did you turn around and convince me instead?
Alright, alright.
Division Chief!
Division Chief, I'm innocent!
Division Chief!
Division Chief! I'm innocent!
Division Chief Bi, congratulations for yet another achievement.
If it wasn't for your help, General Kagesa, I would never achieve this mission.
Thus, the credits all belong to you.
Sometimes, you annoy me. You're always the one helping us.
It makes me embarrassed.
Compared to the multiple times you've thanked me before,
I prefer what you just said.
If I knew you would say that, I would continue to thank you.
You've made your decision to marry Li Xiaonan?
I can't think of a reason why not.
Chen Shen,
that night, I made a huge decision to leave Bicheng in your care. Did you know that?
I know.
I didn't give you that opportunity just for you to hurt her.
If you were me, what would you do?
Know your limits, buddy.
If you can't make her happy, I won't give you a second chance.
Thanks, brother.
Do you think Secretary Qian is really Rehmannia?
Bi Zhongliang thinks he is, Li Moqun thinks he is,
then naturally, he is.
I don't think he is.
Whether or not he is, this issue is already over.
The men that we sent to Zhangzhou have returned.
They didn't find the waiter from Changlong Restaurant.
Ask around the neighborhood for what he looks like. Sketch down his face and continue looking.
Okay.
By the way,
Changlong Restaurant closed down last night.
The boss and his whole family are gone.
There's definitely something up with this restaurant.
The boss must have hid. Find him.
If we find them, then we find Chen Shen's Achilles heel.
Okay, I'll go do that.
Look at the time. Why are you still sleeping?
- Let me discuss something with you. - Let me sleep a while longer.
Didn't Mom leave behind a bracelet? Give it to Miss Li.
She wouldn't want it.
How do you know?
She's engaged.
What? Engaged?
- Stop. - Engaged to whom?
Stop asking.
I'm telling you, good girls are definitely hard to win over.
If she's about to get engaged, that means it's not set in stone yet.
Just tell me: do you like her?
Do you like her?
She doesn't like me. What's the use of me liking her?
That's all you need!
Here, take this.
If she doesn't get married, you still have a chance.
People from our family have never been afraid of working hard,
unless you want to watch as the woman you like, marries another man.
Listen to me. Take a look.
It's so pretty!
Try it on.
That's not a good idea. It's too valuable. Just give it back to Sister Su.
She said you saved her at Sheshan last time, so you must take this bracelet.
I wasn't saving her. At most, we were just escaping together.
Hurry and take it back.
- Are you still willing to come eat dumplings at my house? - Huh?
How about tonight?
I won't go. I was kidding previously.
If I go, Chen Shen will be unhappy.
Xiaonan,
as long as Chen Shen doesn't marry you, I won't give up on you.
I'll prove to you that I'm stronger than he.
I treat you better than he.
Ms. Xu.
Boss asked me to come. Please sign here.
In the past, Chen Shen always personally came.
Why did he ask you to run this errand these days?
He's getting married soon.
Maybe he's on a tight leash now.
She's just like my Zhu Zhu. She's so scared of me getting too close to other girls.
It's annoying!
Done? Thank you.
On the 16th, your sister-in-law and I will prepare a wedding ceremony for you.
♫ Just like rain, a downpour at the horizon ♫
Do you hear that?
♫ You walked through the wind seasons, walked through gunfire smoke, and danced with deep emotions. ♫
This time,
you're not being forced, right?
I'm willing.
♫ A long road, a sighing place, is actually the loneliness of time. ♫
♫ Waking up in my dreams, lightly singing ♫
Don't thank me.
If you sincerely want to thank me, then after I marry Chen Shen,
you can give us lots of red envelopes! I won't reject them.
Chen Shen is so lucky to marry
- such a good girl like you. - Maybe Chen Shen is, instead, envious of Mr. Tang.
♫ Why not just change into Western clothes, change my image, and teach myself a dance? ♫
I thought these doors would never open for me again.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
In the future, don't be like this.
Let me do all the dangerous tasks.
You must always find an escape route for yourself first.
If you were in my shoes that day,
you would also make the same decision, right?
Since we both know each other's feelings,
nothing else matters.
We owe Xiaonan too much.
In the future, no matter what decision you make,
I'll understand.
Give me some time.
[Team 3 Leader Office]
- You're not mistaken, right? It really was Tao Dachun? - I'm sure. It's definitely him.
I was afraid he had accomplices nearby, so I didn't do anything to alert the enemy.
He's definitely going back to Chongqing.
He's going back to his camp.
Boss, I got you hot water! I'll brew tea for you later.
When these people gather together, there's bound to be bad news.
You know what to do.
Yes.
Boss, guess how I knew about the arrest of the Nationalist liaison last time.
