(Lost In 1949)
(Garment Pressing Shop)
Si Nan sent a secret...
message through a friend.
He is under surveillance?
According to the message,
he's still safe.
About the name list,
I put it in...
the shea butter lotion...
that Mrs. Tang took this morning.
Perhaps he can think of something.
It must be difficult for him.
He's being watched closely...
and still has to figure out a way.
Mrs. Qian,
look at this hairstyle.
Doesn't it look like young...
Mrs. Qiao's hairstyle?
I would like one myself.
Do you mean Huang Li Wen?
Oh yes.
It's such a Western hairstyle.
I don't know if my face shape...
suits it.
I saw her 2 days ago on her way out...
and she looked very stylish.
Of course she's stylish,
just look at her sister...
dancing away in that place.
I did think it was very odd.
Mrs. Qiao is such a haughty person...
and doesn't even like Lin Yun Shang.
Why would she let the girl...
marry into the family?
What's so surprising about it?
When a son...
falls in love with a woman,
no mother can do anything about it.
Do you mean it is...
Qiao Zhi Cai who wouldn't give up?
Of course it is!
Let me tell you,
I was out shopping once...
and met Huang Li Wen.
She said she was buying a...
pair of shoes for her husband.
What is his shoe size?
Uh... not too small.
Oh, not small is it?
Then it is at least a size 40.
The Bullock shoes there are quite nice.
I'll check them out first.
It's quite funny, really,
that she didn't know his shoe size...
and still acts fine before me.
Oh dear,
and she doesn't even dress like a married woman.
Qiao Zhi Cai is really unlucky...
to have married her.
You're right.
Transfer the list to Mao's Mansion.
Dr. Tang.
Mrs. Qiao.
Seeing patients again?
My mum would like me to ask you...
if there are any methods to help...
relieve hot flushes without any medicine.
Was the previous precription unsuitable?
Don't worry,
I have a new one.
I am now...
working as an acountant at Secret Service in Mao's mansion.
I had to help Zhi Cai,
he was forced into it.
I'm not doing anything wrong, isn't it?
Where were you working again?
In the chamber of the study.
Perfect timing.
I'll be brief.
The Nationalist Party has an important name list...
and Master Six has a...
complete copy of it.
It could be in the mansion.
I'll look for it.
Miss Huang,
the recovery process is very important.
It needs time and patience,
especially folk medicine.
Yes, I understand.
I have to go now.
Thank you Dr. Tang.
Dr. Tang's medical visits are...
recorded here.
I've also sent my men...
to check it.
The visits are all mansions...
with sick patients there.
This is your...
so-called report?
On the 11th at 2p.m. ,
Dr. Tang and Huang Li Wen...
met by chance in an alley...
and made small talk.
How did they meet by chance?
What did they talk about?
You all went through...
professional training...
but sometimes I think you...
did worse than Constable Cai A-San.
Sir,
Cai A-San has been very quiet...
lately too.
I've asked him,
but he doesn't have news about Huang Li Wen.
Couldn't you investigate yourself?
Can you look over this ledger please?
Just a quick one.
And this one too.
This one is harder...
but you can still do it.
If we work together...
we can finish it quicker.
Why are you so energetic...
all of a sudden?
What's wrong?
What do you mean?
You said that working...
for Master Six...
is to abet an ill-doer.
Changed your mind?
Before I came here,
were there always so many guards around?
Not too many...
About 7 or 8 I supposed.
Why?
Nothing, just thought it was odd...
since Mao's Mansion...
isn't too large...
and Master Six is often away...
but there are still so many guards around.
The guards are not here to protect Master Six.
They are here to watch the mansion.
The mansion isn't large,
but the pictures in the living room...
and staircases...
are very valuable.
There are also secret files.
Secret files?
Aren't they with us?
True.
I need to go to the washroom.
Miss Huang, where are you going?
To the washroom.
That's Master Six's bedroom.
The toilet is this way.
Oh silly me.
Forgive me.
Is it here?
Brother Peng, it's time for lunch.
I'm hungry, let's go and eat.
Let's go.
What took you so long?
My stomach was acting up.
Are you okay?
Do you need to go home and rest?
It's nothing.
Chief,
I know you're disappointed with me,
but I discovered something big.
I found...
Zhang Xiao Guang's...
ex-colleague in Shanghai's textile mill.
That ex-colleague said...
Zhang was secretly married...
in 1937 to...
Huang Li Wen.
Chief,
Qiao Zhi Cai...
What is he up to now?
Not only is he going to Mao's Mansion,
he's been bringing his wife Huang Li Wen...
along as well.
What?
They always go in...
early in the morning...
and come out late at night.
According to the servants in there,
Master Six is very nice to them...
and gave them special treatment.
The food provided is good too.
Have you found out what they were doing in there?
What the hell...
have you been doing all day long?
You can't even manage a small task!
I'm sorry.
That's fine too.
It's okay, you can leave now.
That's it for now.
Yes sir.
Chief Jiang!
What a surprise to see you.
A busy man like you still find...
time to visit me and chat?
I specifically come over today...
to share some good news with you.
Please have a seat.
Chief Chu,
the woman you are most interested in,
Huang Li Wen,
got married not long ago.
The groom...
is Qiao Zhi Cai.
This isn't really news to me.
Then what about this?
Apparently,
Qiao Zhi Cai is...
Master Six's favourite now.
He brings his wife to Mao's Mansion...
every single day...
and Master Six looks upon them with...
high regards.
This is news to you now.
Of course it is news to me.
I always thought that...
Master Six's favourite...
would be you, Chief Jiang.
Chief Chu you are a smart man,
there is no need for sarcasm.
Chief Jiang,
you didn't just come over to my...
office to tell me this, do you?
The people that we both dislike...
are growing closer to each other.
If we still don't unite against them,
we will be defeated easily.
We can make a strong team...
and reap the benefits later.
It will make things easier.
That sounds like a plan.
Chief Jiang,
you knew Qiao Zhi Cai for a long time,
do you know your sister-in-law...
very well?
Not really.
Two years ago,
Qiao Zhi Cai was in prison...
and released on New Year's Day.
Before that,
he didn't even know this woman.
What a coincidence.
According to my investigation,
Huang Li Wen came to Shanghai on the same day.
Apparently they are not old friends...
but new ones instead.
Yes, they did get to know each other...
only recently.
They are newly-weds.
Think about it,
Huang Li Wen didn't even know...
Qiao Zhi Cai's shoe size.
How is that possible?
Are you sure?
How am I not sure?
My spy in Zhenning Village...
told me in person.
Then it is very strange now.
I've been in close contact with...
Huang Li Wen so far...
and I find her a very...
cautious and...
attentive person.
It's impossible for her not to know...
her husband's shoe size.
She should be very aware of...
the little details in her marriage.
It does sound a bit odd,
but it could be nothing.
Perhaps she's not that into Zhi Cai.
No,
I don't think it's about...
her not being that into him.
I think it's about her being into him at all.
Chief Jiang,
have you considered that...
Qiao Zhi Cai and Huang Li Wen's marriage...
is a sham?
A fake marriage?
Chief Chu, I think you are...
overthinking this matter now.
This is really not me overthinking it.
According to my knowledge,
Huang Li Wen was married before,
and her ex husband is...
an important member of the...
Communist Party.
I personally killed him...
in the Mantis Operation.
Her husband was dead for a few months...
and she suddenly has a new husband?
Isn't it suspicious?
Chief Jiang should be well aware...
that communists would use marriage...
as a guise for their identities.
Also, Huang Li Wen immediately made...
a wordless tombstone for her husband once she's back in Shanghai.
Okay,
even if Huang Li Wen is a communist...
and faked a marriage,
what about Qiao Zhi Cai?
Is he a communist too?
Is that why he's helping her?
Chief Jiang,
if Qiao Zhi Cai...
really is a communist,
wouldn't that be great news to you?
Therefore,
I think we need to pay more...
attention on their relationship.
Babe,
can you help me?
About what?
It's about Qiao Zhi Cai and Huang Li Wen.
Interact more with them...
when you have time.
See what you can find.
Hmph!
You always ask me for help...
and I have to do work for you.
You're so heartless.
When have your Feng Ping...
ever let you down before?
Do you like it?
Naughty...
Let me put it on you.
-Come on. -Okay!
Here, turn around and let me see.
Do I look nice?
Lovely.
I love you the most.
I'm going to the washroom.
Master Six.
Master Six, you're back.
Master Six, you're home early today.
Why are you here?
I...
I got very tired and decided to...
stretch my legs a bit.
That picture over there...
is really nice.
I'll go back now...
to work again.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's normal to rest...
when you're tired.
You...
like the picture?
It really is very nice.
It must be from a famous artist.
Brother Qiao has good taste.
This is an antique...
with overglaze decorations.
If you really...
admire it,
I can present it to you...
once the work is done.
Oh no no no...
Master Six,
I don't dare to take it.
It's okay. It's okay.
Please connect to no.340.
Secret agent 64513...
is coming to Shanghai from Nanjing...
to help you to recruit people in Shanghai...
to Taiwan.
This is highly confidential.
You need to be prepared for it.
Understood.
These 2 days,
I need you to watch Cai A-San.
If he doesn't call then initiate it.
Yes sir.
Tell him that it's...
not just Huang Li Wen...
but Qiao Zhi Cai as well...
that I want him to keep an eye on.
Do you understand me?
Yes sir.
You may go now.
When are you going to tell me?
Tell you what?
What were you doing in Master Six's bedroom today?
Why would I be in his bedroom?
I don't even know where it is.
You'd planned it out, didn't you?
Plan what?
Helping me with work.
Accompanying me to work.
It looked honourable...
but you have an agenda.
Your mission with the organisation.
Were you worried not getting...
into Mao's Mansion?
So that's what you think of me?
What should I think then?
Had I known your motive,
I wouldn't have agreed to it.
Yes,
I do have a mission now,
but that's after I helped you...
and I told the organisation.
I can't stand by watching...
Master Six just taking...
-money from people. -There's no need for this.
You acted like you're concerned...
I'll be in trouble if I...
can't do what he asked,
but your actions today...
sneaking around in Mao's Mansion...
will bring more harm...
if Master Six got wind of it.
I'm sorry.
I didn't think it through.
I shouldn't have put...
you through such danger.
Tomorrow onwards,
you don't have to work.
Yue Rong.
Mom.
Why are you drying bedsheets again?
Did you period come again?
You're still not getting better after...
taking so much Trogopterori.
Yue Rong,
did she tell you off again?
It's okay honey.
Here,
we can give her a baby and she can care for it,
how's that?
I'm trying to sleep!
I'm just handing over...
the accounts now.
It'll save you time later...
when you don't understand it.
I've already finished a third of the accounts...
for Longxin Watch Company.
Master Six is concerned about it.
This is a sizeable company...
that makes a lot of money...
so they keep 2 sets of books.
All expenses in the official book...
are non-existent.
The real flow of the money...
can only be found from...
the private book.
It sounds complicated,
but as long as you follow...
the dates to find them,
it really isn't hard.
Once you finish Longxin,
you can move on to...
Heng's Bird Nest Company...
and Denan Hardware Store.
These 2 companies also keep...
two sets of books.
You'll find them very easy by then.
Also, you need to finish 2...
more companies first.
The first one is Shen's Pigment Company.
This company is missing...
pages from its books...
and they're big sums of money.
Master Six is very concerned...
and has asked for it twice.
Another company is...
Liqin Law Firm.
The law firm's accounts...
involved...
several bank accounts...
so it's more complex.
If you don't understand it...
you can ask me later.
I might still remember it while it's...
still fresh upon my memory.
Li Wen,
go to work with me tomorrow.
I can't.
If I go,
I'll have to carry out my mission.
What's your mission?
I can help you.
I wasn't angry with you.
I just felt that...
you don't trust me.
I was afraid you'd only use me...
like the time we first went back...
to your mother's as a...
married couple to finish your job.
I look like a fool there.
I will never treat you like an idiot.
It was very urgent...
the other time,
but we've been through so much together...
so I do trust you.
This time,
I really cannot tell you...
the organisation's mission.
But...
I do have to look for something...
in Mao's Mansion.
It's not in Master Six's bedroom, is it?
The drawers and cupboards...
are mostly unlocked...
and I didn't find...
a safe in his bedroom.
I've even checked the picture on the wall...
and it doesn't have a secret space.
I also can't find a switch to the chamber,
so...
so I thought...
it couldn't be in the bedroom,
but I couldn't be sure about it.
I'll help you find it.
Go to sleep.
Good night.
What?
Master Six doesn't understand English,
but here is a nice set of...
English books and I don't think...
they're for decoration purposes.
You knew it all along?
If you didn't say so,
I wouldn't know...
there's a safe here.
But let me tell you this,
this safe...
might not have what you want.
If I know Master Six well,
the safe should be...
filled with expensive jewellery.
Maybe not.
Then do you know where the key is?
Where is it?
Master Six keeps it in his front pocket every day.
Li Na.
Come and have some food.
It's 2 in the afternoon.
Li Na...
Oh honey...
You can't just refuse to eat,
how will your body cope with it?
Listen to mommy.
No one can come back from the dead,
but you still have to live on,
don't you?
Stop it or I'll kill myself too!
Miss,
don't say anymore.
I've told her so.
I've told her before...
not to fall in love with a pilot.
He's a pilot!
A nice kettle of fish!
Captain Wu and her...
are not destined for each other.
Last night,
Miss Li Na...
came back drunk again...
and vomited thrice before she could sleep.
If this goes on,
her health will suffer.
Shall I go and find Miss Li Wen...
to console her sister?
What can she do?
Oh here she comes.
Miss Li Na, Li Na, Li Na,
where are you going?
Where can I go?
Don't go and drink anymore.
Drinking will not solve everything,
it won't make you sorrows go away.
You're wasting yourself away...
and it hurts me to see it.
Wasting myself away?
Mom,
it's not my first time...
working as a bargirl.
Are you really that hurt?
Miss Li Na, don't say things like that.
Get out of my way, I'm going out.
Li Na! Miss Li Na!
I won't let you out!
Go upstairs!
I won't let you go.
You have to!
Yun Fu is dead.
No one can look after me now.
There's no one to take care of me.
I still have to entertain those men...
like how I used to be.
If it wasn't for me, Miss Li Na,
where will...
our money come from?
I know...
-My good girl... -Go away.
Li Na!
Miss!
(The Paramount)
Qiao Zhi Cai,
my sister-in-law,
you've been working...
hard during this time...
helping me with the accounts.
It's impressive work...
and you're quick with it too.
I must say you two...
deserve some recognitions.
Here, let me drink to this.
Thank you Master Six. Thank you Master Six.
We just did what we're supposed to do.
We should drink to your health.
Master Six.
You've to drink less.
Once this is over,
I've a huge reward waiting.
This...
is just a little bonus.
If you insist.
Master Six,
I only have a meagre...
allowance now.
Thank you Master Six.
I'll increase your allowance...
this 2 months, how's that?
You two are cute.
I have a suggestion.
Why don't the two of you...
work for me after this?
To be honest,
I really need your help now.
Master Six,
thank you for appreciating our work,
I am flattered.
However, I'm a married woman now.
I have to take care of...
my family and the chores.
I have to go back home.
Zhi Cai, do you hear this?
I'm asking you for her help.
What is your problem?
Master Six needs your help.
It's our honour to do it.
Come over then.
No problem, don't worry about it.
Master Six.
Li Na.
Master Six,
why didn't you come...
and find me today?
Li Na, you're back?
Master Six,
I've been back for a while.
Didn't your men tell you...
anything at all?
Have you forgotten me?
I'm not happy about it.
Li Na, how much have you drunk?
Sister, brother-in-law,
what a coincidence to see you two.
I can't stay and chat today.
I haven't seen Master Six for...
a while and I want to drink with him.
Li Na,
if you didn't leave...
The Paramount...
to get married,
I'm happy to accompany you everyday.
That's great, Master Six.
Master Six, I'm not getting married.
I'm not getting married, Master Six.
I'm not... not getting married.
What about your fiancé?
Would he agree?
Master Six,
why do you have to mention him?
He...
He fell... fell from the sky...
and was... gone...
Miss Li Na,
this is not a joke.
Your fiancé...
is the captain of the Air Force.
He wouldn't just die like that.
Who told you this?
Master Six, Li Na is drunk,
don't listen to her...
gibberish talk.
Come on, come on.
Master Six,
why would I joke...
about things like that?
I don't really know...
if Yun Fu has gone or not.
My heart hurts so much...
during that time.
I felt that...
something must have...
happened to him.
Master Six,
that's not nice of you.
Saying those things...
makes me so upset now.
Are you cold?
Now that you said it, a little.
Master Six, Master Six,
it's okay, let me do it.
-What are you doing? -I'm... I just...
Master Six wants to care for Li Na,
-so... -Sister-in-law,
I am a gentleman.
Let me be a gentleman...
to Miss Li Na please.
Here, wear this.
How do you feel?
Much better.
Good, good, good.
Master Six,
can you...
accompany me tonight?
Play some games with me?
Sure, I'll accompany you.
Shall we play a card game again?
Anyone who loses will have to drink.
Let me pour you a drink.
I love playing cards.
-Come on. -I'll pour you a drink.
Wrap this tightly,
don't catch a cold.
Let's play cards.
Careful.
Li Na, slow down.
Master Six,
I need the toilet whenever I drink.
Go on.
Chief Jiang?
