(Lost in 1949.)
Mo Geng.
Look who is here.
Quick!
Dad!
Brother.
-Sister-in-law. -Zhi Cai.
Gui Fen.
Zhi Cai...
came back by Cannan Ship.
Dad, I miss you.
Are you crying again, brother?
It is good that you are back.
Good to have you back.
I have brought some presents for you.
You often join events,
your skin condition is very important as you need to go on stage.
This coconut oil is from Nanyang.
This wax-coloured cloth...
is Malaysian product.
This is for sister-in-law.
Dad,
mom says you...
always have leg pain.
I bought a massager for you.
Ebony.
It will be good for you.
This ebony is from Nanyang.
It certainly feels different.
Very good.
Quick, quick, quick.
Sit down to eat.
The food is cold now.
Come and sit down, Zhi Cai.
I am starving.
Gui Fen, quickly serve the chicken soup.
It is Zhi Cai's favourite.
Mom, I have been outside...
for 2 years, I miss...
the delicious food at home so much.
Quick, eat more.
This massager...
is also sold in Shanghai.
Zhi Cai,
you have been staying in Nanyang for 2 years.
Why did you buy...
Shanghai products?
Mo Geng, look,
Zhi Cai has become thinner.
Yes, you're thinner now.
You must've been tired during the past 2 years.
Dad, we sell fruits.
We often loaded and unloaded stuffs at the port.
All those required physical energy.
Enough.
I know even if you don't tell me.
If it were not for a man,
you wouldn't run away from home...
as you were fine back then.
Now that this man...
left you,
you have nowhere else to go.
Thus, you come back.
Do not be upset anymore.
He doesn't deserve your tears.
For us women,
we just have to find another person to rely on.
After 2 days, I'll introduce some people to you, alright?
There is the young master of a bank,
second owner of the foreign commodities' company，
young master of shipping company.
I know some of them.
Really.
Li wen, you're pretty,
and well-educated,
of course there's someone who will marry you.
Tomorrow,
tomorrow I will bring you...
to clothing store to make a new set of clothes.
We will dress up,
alright?
Brother, thank you for the past 2 years...
for helping me to hide the truth from dad.
That was nothing.
You're the most important.
You have just come back.
Do you have any plan?
Do you want me to...
to get a job for you in the bank?
Be like me,
earn some money.
Brother, I cannot be a worker.
Doing business is better for me.
Do you still remember that useless Chief Jiang？
He made me the scapegoat...
two years back.
I was innocent but I was jailed.
Now that I have come out,
I want to find him.
You have already finished serving jail time.
What can you do with that?
Brother,
I have evidence in my hand.
The fake account he did in cotton mill back then,
and colluding with the Japanese,
and stole all the money from the main boss.
Now that I have all these evidences,
I will give him hard time.
Do not think like this.
Rather than having another problem, might as well let it be.
Since you have finished serving jail time,
you better keep a low profile.
I'll go up and take a look.
Brother.
What?
Here.
This is Japanese product, the effect is very good.
After you eat it,
make sister-in-law happy.
Faster have a child.
Otherwise, she will keep complaining about you watching the shows,
I do not need this, keep it.
No, no.
I do not need this.
I am fine.
We have investigated Huang Li Wen.
Her mother is Lin Yun Shang.
We have started to look into...
her background here.
Faster then.
On the other hand, the old lady with surname Xiao,
continue to follow her.
There might be other clues.
Sure.
Huang Li Wen.
The woman that the Secret Service is searching,
this is the name.
Huang Li Wen.
This name is familiar.
This cloth material is nice.
The colour is also elegant.
Mister, then make a set of clothes...
for her according to her...
measurements just now.
The collar can be lowered a bit.
Lower it.
Seems alright.
Sure, sure.
It looks nice, right?
And then this one.
-Make me a cheongsam. -Alright.
You know the measurements.
Sure, sure.
Mom, let me.
Keep it.
Thank you.
No problem.
Mister,
please,
help me to send this woollen materials somewhere.
-I will write an address for you. -Sure.
(Accidentally crashed into Cannan Ship and sank.)
Mo Geng, eat up.
Dad, let me serve you the soup.
I do not want to drink.
Why? Are you sick?
Cannot even drink a bowl of soup properly.
Dad, the soup is delicious.
When I was in Nanyang,
the Chinese medicine in the herbal pork rib soup...
smells weird.
Our Gui Fen's cooking...
is much better.
I love it.
You said as though you really know Nanyang.
I stayed there for 2 years.
I still know the cultures there.
I have a question,
are you the only who return by the ship?
How is that possible?
That ship is a huge passenger ship.
1940 tonnes,
double deck,
can carry more than 400 people.
Cannan Ship has already sank.
Have a look yourself.
It is on the newspapers today.
You're still lying.
Tell me.
Where had you been...
over the past 2 years?
I was jailed over the past 2 years.
Gui Fen, quick,
bring copsticks for Master Qiao.
No need, I cannot eat anymore.
Master.
I was wronged.
I did not do anything against the law.
They were the ones who framed me.
You do not need to explain.
Our family...
has been a family with scholars and great pride.
Why did you...
If this spreads out,
our family's reputation will be ruined.
You will stain Li Jie's reputation.
Dad,
if I was framed to death,
do I deserve it?
Only someone like Li Jie,
a great physicist, professor,
deserve to be your son?
Then why didn't you choke me to death...
when I was born?
You!
Enough.
Do not say anymore.
I tried so hard...
to keep this a secret.
The reason is...
not to let the neighbourhood...
laugh at us.
Each of you here...
better keep your mouth shut.
You shall not talk about...
what happened to Zhi Cai.
Madam, it is the Chief Security Officer.
He is here to invite Master for meeting.
Tell him Master is eating.
He will talk to him once he's finished.
I am not eating.
I am going now.
Master, you...
Everyone,
we invited all of you here late at night...
to inform a matter...
to each of you.
There is one family in Zhenning Village...
who offended...
public decency.
Master Qiao.
What is it?
Master Qiao, don't you know?
How would I know?
The women from the first residence.
I have investigated their background.
You meant...
those staying in the first residence?
Otherwise, who would that be?
The family in the first residence...
are old.
I heard that...
they used to sing Shaoxing Opera.
But they are not that good.
They are just faking.
Of course you all know, right.
There is not a man...
who stays there.
She has two ladies staying with her.
Even their surnames are different.
These kind of women...
move into our community.
What if they start prostitution?
What to do?
Then we must ask...
this family to move out.
Right?
Right.
-Come here. -Why, why?
Secret Service.
Who is it?
Who?
Seriously.
What is it?
Sending package.
-Why do you send package at night? -Urgent.
Give it to me.
Give it to me!
Go!
Today, Master Qiao is here.
Then you can represent us...
to talk to this family.
Fine, I...
Master Qiao is the most suitable person.
I am not suitable.
Then who else?
Master Qiao, you have good atitude,
even your words are conscientious.
With less than three sentences,
you will be able to ask this family to move out.
That is right.
You have the status and knowledge.
If you do not do this, who else can do it?
We beg you.
This, this...
Please.
You are the most suitable person.
You must be the one to go.
The one who pays is Huang Li Wen.
Other than thank you, there is nothing else.
No other content.
From the materials used on the package,
it doesn't show any clue about the shop owner.
This is an England product,
called Ferntex.
Tomorrow, you go to the clothing store...
opposite the race course.
If I remember correctly,
that is the only store which sells this in Shanghai.
Noted.
-Greetings. -Boss.
The thing is this.
I want to buy two sets of new clothes...
for my parents...
during Chinese New Year.
What do you recommend?
Please have a look.
All these materials are of high quality.
Once you have chosen,
we will customize it for you.
So it is like this.
Miss Huang Li Wen recommended me to come here.
What clothes did she order?
I want to have the same ones as hers.
Miss Huang Li Wen, please wait for a while then.
Miss Huang Li Wen...
is not on our list.
-No? -Yes.
Then what about Lin Yun Shang?
There is.
Yes, here it is.
Two sets. A coat and a cheongsam.
Boss, your store is quite efficient.
You can have the clothes ready by evening.
Let me help you.
Put it down, Miss Li Wen.
I will do it myself.
It is alright, I have done this before.
I do physical works too.
Alright.
A-Er.
Does family Qiao live...
in this community?
Miss Li Wen, you are also searching for those with the surname Qiao?
Who else is looking for them?
No, no one.
The Qiao family is a huge family...
over here.
They live at the end of the street.
House 14B.
They have 2 young masters,
both are great men.
One of them just returned from Nanyang after doing business there.
Another one is a physicist.
They are amazing.
A-Er, A-Er.
You have not picked up the new clothes yet.
I have forgotten.
-The clothing store will close soon. -I'll go now.
Miss Li Wen, I...
-Let me do this, you go ahead. -Sure.
-Then I go first. -Go, hurry.
Alright, alright. Going now.
Such a mess today.
Mo Geng,
actually this matter can...
be settled by the Chief Security Officer himself.
What if the women from that house...
causes you trouble?
I am a virtuous man.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Then...
Go, go with your dad.
I do not want to go.
He does not even want to see me.
Go!
Zhi Cai,
you do not know what kind of person is that woman.
Your dad is is an educated man.
He will not be able to handle that.
Go!
Why are you following me?
Who asked you to come?
I didn't want to come,
mom asked me to come.
She is worried that you won't be able to handle that family.
She asked me to help you.
That's not necessary.
Go back.
Have no pride at all.
I think you are just like them.
Yes, dad.
You are the only honorable one.
You're definitely different...
from that family.
I will just watch.
Mom, I'm going out.
Where do you want to go?
I have moved here for so many days.
There are many things that I don't know about this place.
I will walk around.
-I will go with you. -No need.
I will go alone.
Follow her.
Who is it?
Residents of first residence.
I come here to discuss with you...
as the representative of Zhenning Village.
Who wants to discuss with me?
Mo Geng.
You know that I moved here?
I do not know.
-I... -Dad.
You know each other?
Please come in and have a seat.
Why are you still standing there?
That, it is alright, no.
-Come in, come in. -Dad, we...
-Dad. -What are you doing, Zhi Cai?
Dad, dad!
Dad, where are you going?
Our house is this way.
Aunty,
have you met each other before?
Miss.
You...
Aren't you the resident from House No.1?
-I am. -Why do you come here...
at this hour?
Nothing, I was just...
walking around.
Back then,
your father and I...
were both young.
We grew up together.
His house was...
at that side of the road.
My house was...
at this side of road.
Please continue.
My daughter has returned.
Li Wen.
Here, come here.
This is the son of...
my old friend, Mo Geng.
They also stay here.
This is my eldest daughter,
Huang Li Wen.
Miss Huang.
Your expression when you meet my daughter for the first time...
is just like when your father...
met me for the first time.
I... Miss Huang and I...
met before.
Do you remember?
I am sorry.
I do not think I met you before.
You have to change your pick-up line.
Your father was better than you back then.
When did your father find out...
that I moved here?
He found out yesterday.
He knew it yesterday.
I am sorry, I will go upstairs.
Your father, he...
Have you been to Hefei Road?
Hefei Road?
Aunty,
you are so beautiful now,
then you must have been even prettier back then.
do you have your old photographs?
Photographs?
There are many.
Some with makeup, some with no makeup.
Do you want to look?
I will show them to you.
Wait.
Treat the guest well.
That... Do you have the suitcase?
The people from Secret Service are watching you.
It's not safe with you, give it to me.
You are Mr. Qiao in the documents?
You opened my suitcase?
I needed to find you.
Of course, I am Mr. Qiao.
Mr. Qiao, have a look.
The photo album is here.
Here, this.
I have chosen the most beautiful one.
Bring your suitcase...
to Fan Huang Du Road tomorrow afternoon.
There are many people there, it's not so obvious.
This is really pretty.
This? Right.
Master Qiao is back.
Mo Geng, you are back.
Master Qiao,
have you spoken to them?
Everyone, please sit down.
When will they move out?
Well.
I have not discussed with them.
You didn't?
I saw the woman opened the door for you.
She did open the door,
but I did not enter.
Why didn't you enter?
The family consists of unmarried women.
I am a man.
It's indecent for me to enter their house.
They are not like...
what you said.
Could they be a proper family?
They are.
Proper?
Then where is their man?
Where is he?
He's dead. He passed away at young age.
Chief, are we going to arrest her now?
There is no need to rush.
Huang Li Wen is within my grasp.
She will not be able to escape.
Let her be the bait for the real culprit behind.
I want to see what kind of mission she is doing.
Master Qiao,
didn't you say you didn't enter their house?
Then how did you know...
about these news?
I...
Madam,
Madam!
Madam Lin...
from house no.1...
So it's you, sister?
I am Lin Yun Shang who has just moved in.
We met before the other day, do you remember?
Sis, could it be that...
you're Mo Geng's wife?
Yes, I am.
I am certainly destined to meet you.
Mo Geng.
Mo Geng,
I hope I did not disturb you all.
Not at all, not at all, Madam Lin.
Welcome to our big family in Zhenning Village.
Sister,
today I want to thank you.
You even asked Mo Geng to visit me.
So, Miss Lin...
is an acquaintance of Master Qiao.
No wonder he...
knows your situation very well.
Actually, Mo Geng and I...
Aunt Lin and my dad...
are actually worried about me.
Li Wen.
Li Wen, come here.
What is it, mom?
Why are keeping this secret from me?
What is it?
You made me worried...
if you have a boyfriend or not.
Boyfriend?
How did you know...
Zhi Cai?
We are not close.
You're still pretending?
Qiao Zhi Cai told me just now.
Both of you...
are very close.
Did he say that?
Just now,
he said in front of all...
the residents in Zhenning Village.
I think this child is quite good.
He dares to love and hate.
He just came back from Nanyang.
I think he is quite good.
Interact more with him.
When you two are officially together,
then Mo Geng and I...
will be in laws.
I ask you to go wtih your dad...
to watch over him.
Your dad is a scholar.
Don't you know that he is kind and believes in others too easily?
You did not help me to...
solve this problem,
you even brought it in our house.
Look at what you just did!
Mom, how could you say that?
Whenever there is problem,
I'm the one who shoulder the burdens.
I know that our family is full of pride.
Thus, I pretended that I just came back from Nanyang.
I also know that dad cares about his reputation,
that is why I stood up.
-Why is it always my fault? -Qiao Zhi Cai.
Listen properly.
As a family,
it is important for us to...
help and protect each other.
Understand?
Young Master Zhi Cai,
there is a guest.
He's looking for you.
Me?
Chief Jiang.
You've come here.
Zhi Cai,
do you want to have a drink inside?
No, there is no need to be so courteous.
Here,
give 5,000USD to me.
Once I have it, I will leave.
Chief Jiang.
I'm almost there.
There is only a little left.
Once I finish collecting it tomorrow,
I will send it to your house.
I am already here.
Since there's only a little left,
just give me what you have now.
Chief Jiang,
please bear with me...
seeing that we have known each other for long time.
Tomorrow, 2p.m. tomorrow.
I will definitely send it to your office.
Please come in, please.
Miss Li Wen,
I found the electricians.
Here, Mister, please come in.
Quick.
Here, come here.
Miss.
Miss!
Here.
That,
I have invited the electricians.
You're finally here.
It is upstairs.
I do not know why.
The light bulb always blinks.
It's so scary.
We have to repair it then.
It will be troublesome if someone is electrocuted.
Right.
Then please help.
Let me remind you.
You file archives...
are still in the court.
Telling people you were in Nanyang...
will never be enough to hide it.
Chief Jiang,
you are the one who asked me to help 2 years ago.
You were the one who asked me to...
handle the fake Japanese products.
Every single thing related to the cotton mill,
I have been professional...
and taking them seriously.
There's only one thing.
You were a traitor,
you colluded with the Japanese behind your boss.
Do not force me.
If you force me, I will hand in the evidences.
You have evidences?
Give it to me.
Let me see whether it is useful.
Give it to me.
Chief Jiang,
I was just joking.
That is right.
Since...
you do not want to give it to me,
I will search by myself.
-Chief Jiang. -Get up.
Chief Jiang, I was just joking.
Madam, Madam.
-What's the matter? -Miss, here you are.
Well.
Where is the master switch?
Can you show it to me?
Please wait for a while.
Chief Jiang, Chief Jiang!
Please don't do this.
You've gone too far!
Search properly!
Find the evidence that he said.
Chief Jiang.
What are you doing?
Zhi Cai.
Mom.
Who is this?
Mom,
this is Chief Jiang who...
worked with me previously.
Chief Jiang.
Madam Qiao,
long time no see.
I say, Zhi Cai,
why are you so immature?
Have I not told your that Deputy Mayor Chen is coming over foday?
I have not forgotten.
Chief Jiang, our Zhi Cai...
is always forgetful.
Actually,
Deputy Mayor Chen insists on...
coming to our house today.
Also, there will be...
Director Sun and Secretary-General Lee from Asset Management Committee.
There are so many people.
Since you are here,
come and have some tea.
Chief Jiang.
No.
I still have things to do.
Zhi Cai,
we will talk next time.
Have some tea first before you leave.
It is alright, thank you.
Mom.
Thank you, Mister.
It is alright.
You forgot your payment.
Thanks.
I asked you to watch, what were you doing?
Huang Li Wen almost noticed us.
She came in when I wasn't paying attention.
I did not know that.
Isn't that Chief Jiang?
Why is he here?
That is right.
Let's go.
Li Wen,
how much did they ask...
for the payment?
Did you bargain?
That's not an easy job for them.
That was hard-earned money.
I did not bargain.
What's so difficult about that?
Take a look at what they did.
The wires are everywhere.
And the rubbish is everywhere.
Totally not meticulous.
Miss Li Wen,
the clothes are dry.
-I'll put them on your bed. -Thank you.
A-Er.
Where did you find...
the two electricians just now?
They are amateurs.
They approached me.
And said that there will be discounts.
It is my fault, I was naive.
Next time, be more cautious.
Sure.
Chatting with those women...
the whole day.
What were you chatting about?
So passionate.
Chat...
About Qiao family.
What's with Qiao family?
It is said that Young Master Zhi Cai...
did not go to Nanyang.
These 2 years,
he was in Tilanqiao Prison.
No way.
It is true.
The news have been spreading.
It is said that it was a heavy offence.
He was a political criminal.
He was lucky that the Qiao family is well-known,
or he would have died inside.
Nowadays,
people are always being shot to death.
Do not simply say thing like this.
I am not the one who spreads it.
They were the ones.
They said that he seems to be promoting something...
like Soviet...
believes in Ma...
Enough, enough.
Do you know about it?
I'm not interested.
You child,
now that you know,
listen to me.
End your relationship with him.
Our relationship is not what you think.
Whether you admit it or not.
I do not care how far both of you have gone.
The thing is,
you can be with whoever you want.
But not political criminal.
The main point in her conversation with...
her mother, Lin Yun Shang,
is about a man named Qiao Zhi Cai.
He also stays in Zhenning Village.
Qiao Zhi Cai is a political criminal.
We are currently investigating.
Now,
we only have a photo of his profile.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
A young man who worked with me back then.
Greetings, Chief.
Does Qiao Zhi Cai know Chief Jiang?
You are right, Chief.
I saw Chief Jiang left Zhenning Village.
According to my observation,
he was a guest in Qiao Zhi Cai's house.
I am still investigating...
their relationship.
Investigate this man.
Understood.
I have confirm the identity...
of Huang Li Wen.
Xiao Guang's wife?
Yes.
She is Zhang Xiao Guang's wife.
The organisation allows her to visit family in Shanghai,
She was an accountant...
in an enamel factory in Liberated Zone.
Then does she know about...
the death of Zhang Xiao Guang?
Not sure.
But Zhang Xiao Guang came to Shanghai...
to carry out his duty.
His family is unlikely to not know about it.
The first thing we need to do...
is to find her.
Only by finding her,
we can then find out the location of the transceiver.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Let's go.
Gui Fen,
I ask Zhi Cai to stay at home.
Do not open the door for him if he wants to go out.
Let's go.
Still no news about Young Master Zhi Cai?
This is so frustrating.
At this hour,
you're still talking about Young Master Zhi Cai.
Are you here for him...
or me?
For you, of course.
I have been too busy lately.
People are always monitoring me at Secret Service.
You mean your tigress at home...
is monitoring you, right?
This house is so quiet.
And there is no man.
You do not even keep me company.
Look at you,
if there is a man,
he will immediately...
make all sort of sounds.
You little mischevous darling.
I'm going for an adventure!
You... Close the curtains.
They won't see us.
Yes, they can.
Close it.
You are troublesome.
Quickly.
What is it?
Darling,
I have things to attend to now.
Wait for me to come back.
Where are you going, Feng Ping?
Quick.
Darling, darling!
Wait for me, I'll give you hell.
Where are you going?
Seriously!
A-Er.
I am going to the school to visit teacher.
Help me to inform mom,
I am not coming back for dinner tonight.
Alright.
-What is this? -Take it and leave, hurry.
Comrade, be careful.
Go, hurry. Go!
