(Lost in 1949)
The time...
flies...
and the spring...
has passed.
The mood is similar,
but the blooms...
were different.
I wasn't worrying...
for...
no reason.
Right.
About Cai A-San...
What's with Cai A-San?
Didn't he say he wanted to get married?
Why don't we match him up with Gui Fen's niece?
They're incompatible.
I mean,
isn't Gui Fen's niece still young?
You're right.
The rainstorm strikes outside of the pavilion...
in spring and autumn.
And I can hear cries...
breaking...
the silence.
Mom's weird.
Why does she still mind about A-San's money?
Even Cai A-San's rental is little,
it's still an income after all.
It's normal if she still cares.
I can relate to mom.
But not to Cai A-San.
He didn't appreciate us giving face to him.
He's getting bold.
I must tell my mom to chase him away in 3 days.
Who's that?
It's me.
Sister in-law.
I'm not disturbing, aren't I?﻿
It's okay. We can rest later. Please come in.
I know that you...
look down on me.
Say I'm a dissolute woman.
But nobody knows...
my sorrow.
Sister.
We are women.
You know very well...
how Zhi Cai's been pampering you.
Your brother...
is a good man.
I do have feelings to him.
But we didn't...
Let me make it this way.
Let alone touching,
he doesn't even allow me to lean against him.
How can I be pregnant on my own?
Zhi Cai.
Please do me justice.
Besides watching and performing opera,
who else could ever...
stay in his heart.
How can I bear to be with a man like him?
He's cold.
Just like a rock.
No matter how passionate I am,
I can never reach out to him.
Sister in-law.
I can relate...
to your situation.
As long as A-San moves out and you stop keeping in touch,
Li Wen and I will turn a blind eye to this.
No.
You...
-you can't chase him away now. -Sister in-law.
We won't tolerate if you're unrepentant.
No, the reason I'm here is to discuss something with you.
Sister.
Did you offend anybody out there?
Some big bosses asked Cai A-San to keep an eye on you.
I'm afraid if you insisted on kicking him out tonight,
and get him all worked out,
he might do something that will harm sister.
How do we face each other as a family then?
Sister in-law.
Who is A-San working for?
I don't know.
But I know that the boss had offered him a lot of money.
He does all these for money.
I knew about this today.
Sister in-law.
Li Wen has done nothing wrong.
We're not afraid being eyed on by whoever it is.
And...
I think Cai A-San has been boasting.
And he's making story up to silent us.
Trust me brother. I've seen the US dollar notes.
There are piles of them and they're all real.
Sister.
Please think.
Did you offend anybody?
I don't believe it.
I don't trust Cai A-San.
Unless he tells me himself.
He has to move out whatsoever.
Please leave, sister in-law.
We need to rest.
Wu.
Shan Shui has been arrested.
He is?
Shan Shui's just started getting in touch with...
urban construction expert, Xiao Ying Zhen.
He only met Dr. Xiao once at his place.
But he was exposed at the instance.
I think Xiao has spies from Secret Service around him.
The bodyguard is not the only one.
Look for Shan Shui now.
Look for the right time for rescue.
Yes sir.
Master Six.
The communist who contacted Xiao Ying Zhen...
refused to disclose any detail.
We've him tortured thrice.
Kill him.
To avoid the communists from remembering him.
I'll do it now.
Please disregard what sister-in-law said just now.
I don't think it's believable.
Who would ask Cai A-San to keep an eye on me?
You don't believe her?
I do.
Or else Cai A-San wouldn't be so fearless.
I told sister in-law that I don't believe...
to give her pressure so that she could do the same to Cai A-San.
I must make Cai A-San tell me who the boss is.
I know who he is.
Chief Chu?
He was the one who asked my maidservant to eye on me.
It must be him who lures Cai A-San with fortune.
I've never thought to have a spy at home.
You don't have to worry about me regarding this matter.
I've been careful with what I do and say.
Cai A-San won't find anything.
He must have found something.
Or else he wouldn't get the money from Chief Chu.
What did he find out?
I heard that Shan Shui was sacrificed.
This is a huge lesson.
According to the news from our brother in the Security Service,
The Security Service has a thorough plan.
To spy on important experts and democrats.
They are surrounded by spies.
Some of them are the servants, helper or housekeepers.
Some of them are even the relatives.
These spies are all registered.
If we got hold on to this confidential list of spies,
it would be a great help for our Homecoming Operation.
We must get hold on to the list as soon as possible.
Or else we'll be in great danger whenever we are around the experts.
I told them about the boss.
Gosh, you're such a loose tongue.
How can you tell them about this?
I did tell them.
But they don't believe me.
Tell them, A-San.
They will believe if you tell them.
I'm not telling.
Believe it or not, it's their choice.
You're coming with me if they chase me away.
I...
I'm not leaving.
I'll take you away by force if you insisted to stay.
Family Qiao won't take you in anymore since we're exposed.
A-San, why must things be so?
Why must we let them chase us away?
Tell them that the boss is real, then they won't chase you away anymore.
The boss is fake.
Don't be cheated by him, sister in-law.
Make him leave.
Listen up, Qiao Zhi Cai.
Go ahead and chase me out.
You'll see if I was the one afraid or your wife.
Why are you always seen at Dr. Tang's place?
There must be some secrets behind.
Once I report it to my boss, I'll be awarded 100 dollars.
You know what, sister?
My boss believes every word I said.
He is definitely going to do something to you.
Brother A-San.
What's wrong if a woman sees a gynecologist?
Do I have to announce it to the world if not keeping it low key?
I've been seeing Dr. Tang even before I got married.
Why is it a problem to you now?
Please calm down, sister.
Are you really there for treatment, sister?
Why are you crying then on the way to the clinic?
I saw yours eyes were all swollen when you got out of the clinic that day.
-Stop pretending, sister. -Cai A-San.
I'll not tolerate the way you talk to to Li Wen.
How do we treat you all the while you're with us?
We didn't ill-treat you, did we?
How dare you do this to us?
Zhi Cai.
We have done wrong.
Cai A-San.
Promise them that you'll have nothing to do with the boss.
Say it!
If you don't say it, get out!
I...
I'll not get involved with this anymore.
Any discovery on Huang Li Wen?
Chief, from Cai A-San's report,
Huang Li Wen takes no action, everything is normal.
How about the monitoring team?
Did Huang Li Wen see Dr. Tang?
Dr. Tang has been acting normally these 2 days.
He didn't see Huang Li Wen.
So you're telling me that there's no clue discovered at all?
Because of me...
-Cai A-San has to stay. -This is not the problem.
After what had happened,
sister in-law will tone down even if she's lonely.
But my main concern is...
whether Cai A-San and Chief Chu will pose a threat to you.
You don't have to worry.
I'll take care of this.
Chief.
-Chief, I... -Get lost!
Come in.
Why are you here?
I'm here because of an emergency.
Please tell me what it is.
I would like get some updates on the thing I asked you for help.
Don't worry, I'm still figuring. I'll try my best.
Dr. Tang.
Miss Huang.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you have guest.
We're almost done.
Anything else?
Dr. Tang, you know my sister well.
I'll leave her to you.
She doesn't trust any doctor but you.
Call me if you need me, I'll be there at once.
Good bye.
-Miss Huang. -Dr. Tang.
I'm here for my mom.
Okay, please sit.
Dr. Tang.
My mom's taking your prescription and it was all good.
But she's been listening to an old physician.
And insisted to see him.
After she took the medicine from the old man,
her body burns up at night,
feverish and she's been sweating profusely.
I asked her to see you but she refused.
She said she's embarrassed.
So, can you please rewrite a prescription for her?
"You've been monitored by Security Service. Beware."
I understand what you meant, Miss Huang.
I think your mother is having perimenopausal syndrome.
Her hot flushes and sweating are common symptoms. Don't worry.
I don't know about the prescription the physician gave.
Nor your mother's current condition.
So I'll suggest to bring your mother over for a body check up.
I won't give any prescription before knowing her hormonal level.
Okay.
Understood.
-I'll talk to my mom. -Okay.
Chief.
Besides Huang Li Wen,
the young man who asked on his sister's behalf is suspicious too.
Keep a close eye on this doctor.
Never let him go unsurveyed.
Record where he went, who he met, what he said and when.
Yes.
This man is suspicious.
Master Six.
The wife of the accountant whom we killed is making a scene.
What do you think?
Pay her a compensatory fee to shut her mouth.
If she persists, send her to the rock quarry!
Yes.
Brother Qiao.
I know you just got married.
And you didn't have time for honeymoon.
Is this job too tiring,
torturing,
and tying you down?
Your problem is my problem, Master Six.
I never thought about it that way.
So it must be your expanding family expenditure.
So you're trying to get more commission from me.
No. Nothing like that, Master Six.
It's weird then.
You can't even balance an account.
So you mean the fund of cotton mill in Hui Feng Bank was made up?
I'm sorry, Master Six.
Stomachache.
What's with your stomach?
I didn't dare to tell you...
for I'm afraid that you might think that I'm making things up.
I was always diligent in the tasks you gave me.
But I'm afraid that you might misunderstood if I keep this a secret.
I've been in pain for the past week.
Doctor said something's wrong with my stomach and I must be warded.
But I put it on hold because this might interrupt the progress.
I never dared to apply for leave.
I regretted that this plan of mine backfired.
Master Six.
Please don't be angry.
-Look at you. Still in pain? -Yes.
-Master Six. -Fine.
I'll have someone sending you to the hospital.
No, Master Six. My account's not done yet.
Is my stomach getting better, Dr. Lu?
Getting better?
It's fortunate if it doesn't kill you.
You turned down the offer to be warded.
Do you still want your stomach?
What if I cut it all off for you?
You know that I'm busy, I can't put my job a side.
Mr. Qiao.
Did your boss know about your dedication?
Warn you.
Your stomach will be punctured if this goes on.
You even refused to get antacid from San Jiu Pharmacy.
Please make up your mind whether you want to live or die.
Doctor.
How long does he need to stay in ward?
At least 3 days if he's warded at once.
This...
Health is wealth.
Listen to the doctor. You don't have to worry about the fee.
We'll take care of it including antacid and supplements.
Three days?
Yes, at least 3 days.
Fine. I'll pick you up in 3 days.
Thank you.
Thank god it was you today.
You have to be careful.
Master Six is a cruel man.
Stay away from him.
I know, I know.
-Thanks. -Take care.
You asked to investigate Huang Li Wen's social network.
Her ex-boyfriend is Zhang Xiao Guang.
He'd disappeared since year 1937.
Vanished suddenly from Shanghai.
I have no idea how to carry on the investigation.
Year 1937.
In 1935,
Shanghai Municipal Council's executed a group of underground communists...
at Shanghai International Settlement.
Not too long after that,
the person in charge of the underground party in Shanghai..
was also kidnapped.
Since then the underground party was weakened.
They were disunited.
The remaining members weren't able to contact the headquarter.
Until year 1937.
They got back in touch.
Zhang Xiao Guang went missing in 1937.
The timing was right.
I suspect he went to Yan'an after...
getting back in touch with the headquarter.
I'll investigate on this matter.
You're back.
I had your blanket dried in the sun as it was damp.
What's wrong?
Take out the divorce settlement.
Quick.
Sign on it.
What's wrong?
Stop procrastinating.
You should've finished reading that only page.
-Anything happened? -Huang Li Wen.
I don't want to sign.
Stop dragging on. Sign it now!
What had happened? Why do you want me to sign it now?
I'm tired of you.
I want a divorce. Now.
Don't you touch my things.
What?
Do you understand these books?
-It's none of your business. -Qiao Zhi Cai.
I know you're in trouble and it has something to do with these books.
You wake up every night to read these books after I'm asleep.
You think I'm really asleep and I knew nothing about it?
You'll scratch your head and face, and nibble on the pencil...
when you arrived at something you don't understand.
I'll wake up if you ask me to. Why didn't you voice out?
Telling people that you work with the institution on finance.
Where do you really work at?
What finance are you handling?
Tell me!
Master Six's account.
He wants me...
He wants me to move all his money in Shanghai's account...
to his account in Hong Kong.
And it has to be seamless.
I've been working on it for days but I failed to do so.
His former accountant...
His former accountant's dead.
Beaten to death by him.
So you're also in imminent danger?
I've told you the truth, Huang Li Wen.
Please sign on the settlement quick.
We're done after you signing it.
If Master Six's looking for trouble,
you and the kid won't be harmed.
I have had things figured out.
After signing the paper,
I'll leave at once at midnight.
Where do you plan to go?
You want to run away just like that?
I can't sit and wait for my own death sentence.
Will Master Six let you get away?
Don't you know what a person he is?
Are the account books confidential?
He won't let you off, let alone your family.
That's my problem.
Please sign.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
Why don't you ask me for help since it's critical?
Didn't you know if I could do the account?
I don't want you to be involved.
You knew better than me what a person Master Six is.
If anything happened to you and the kid,
I'll never forgive myself.
What about me?
Leaving you in jeopardy knowing that I could help?
Do you think I could forgive myself?
I don't want your help. Signing the paper would be a great help.
I won't sign it.
Huang Li Wen.
I don't need your help.
You have to accept it even if you didn't want to.
You insisted to help me when we got married.
And I insist to help you now!
We're even now!
Tomorrow.
I'll go to work with you tomorrow.
Calling He Luo.
Have you found out Zhang Xiao Guang's identity?
Tell him that I'll handle Mantis Operation myself.
What's the communist code of Zhang Xiao Guang?
I haven't finished listening to the record, Ping Ying.
Let's listen to it tomorrow, it's late now.
I want to listen to it now.
We'll just have to lower the volume.
I found some monitoring devices at home.
Perhaps the fire marshals secretly installed them that day.
One at the bottom of the lamp in my clinic.
Another one at the back of the fridge.
I...
From tomorrow onwards,
if I didn't get home in time as promised.
Wait for me for a maximal of 2 hours.
Go back to your old home after 2 hours.
Ping Ying.
You've promised me.
You've sworn that you'll be alright.
I can't promise that anymore.
Little brother.
This is my wife.
Master Six's friend.
Master Six has agreed to let her help me with my work.
Mr. Qiao, Master Six has stated that all visitors...
have to be scanned before entering the building.
Master Six's said yes, little brother.
No one can be excluded.
It's fine.
Just do it.
Be careful.
Can you be more delicate?
Please.
This way.
I'll leave these to you.
How do I balance this?
Stop messing with this.
It's easy.
Single out the expenditure here.
And cancel it off with the investments added together with this.
It's supposed to be a parallel transported.
But the account is a mess.
It's obvious that it's deceptive. I've to redo that.
I don't understand either.
You go ahead.
Master Six is impatient.
What's wrong?
I can't do it when I was reminded that these belong to Master Six.
Why?
The people has been pinching and scraping.
All thanks to the war.
Look at all the fortunes here.
The money went into the pocket of a grafter.
Disgusting. Filthy.
Keep it low.
It's all ears in this building.
We'll be doomed if someone heard that.
Master Six.
I heard that your wife is here.
I'm here to greet her.
I'm sorry, Master Six.
I've been procrastinating due to my health issue.
I apologize for that.
Thank you for agreeing to let Li Wen help out here.
Talking about accounts, she was an accountant.
Used to be.
She reminded me about the amount...
in cotton mill's Hui Feng bank account.
That's embarrassing,
for bothering sister with that.
You're most welcome, Master Six.
It's his problem for not exercising enough.
Falling sick at this very crucial moment.
It seems like you've been working on the accounts.
About 4 hours.
Please forgive me if there's not much progress.
Master Six.
Are you happy with that?
Brother Qiao.
All thanks to your stomach.
The accounts look fine after your wife's here.
-Good. -I'm glad that you like it.
Please carry on.
Okay.
-Good. -Leave it to us, Master Six.
He's so hard to please.
(Zhenning Village)
Let's go, Xiao Xu.
Thank you, Dr. Tang.
-Thanks Dr. Tang. -Have a safe trip.
Good bye Dr. Tang.
(Garment Pressing Shop)
This is the telegram from Si Nan.
He's been monitored.
