(Lost in 1949)
I've heard that...
It's known in Zhenning Village that...
your families didn't really get along with each other.
So how did you end up together?
Brother Qiao.
The essential part in a love story is the details.
Chief Jiang.
about these kind of things,
I can tell you all the details next time.
Now is not the proper time to talk about that.
How would it be improper?
Everyone loves a love story.
Share it with us.
So that Brother Chu can learn something from it.
So that Brother Chu can learn something from it?
Then everyone would know that Chief Chu was...
competing with me for Li Wen?
Did...did you know that?
Chief Chu liked my sister?
That's impossible.
Chief Chu's mind is filled with suppressing the communist,
he doesn't care much about woman.
And you're totally right about it.
Chief Chu sent his guy..
to watch my Li Wen every day.
It scared Li Wen.
Li Wen thought that maybe she has violated the laws.
I even told Li Wen that...
I said...
Chief Chu is a nice guy.
Perhaps his ways of wooing a woman...
just came on too strong.
Chief Chu.
If you keep on wooing woman like this,
you will surely scare them off.
Mr. Qiao,
I think you've misunderstood.
I never have any personal thoughts...
about Miss Huang.
Chief Chu.
What do you mean by that?
It‘s your fate if she chose you.
You just have to accept it even if she rejected you.
You can't just deny the fact like nothing happened.
You made it looked like...
my sister is not attractive.
Now she is already married.
It's not use to dwell on it.
Place your bet...place your bet.
Raise the bet.
Master Six.
I have such bad luck at gambling.
I didn't even get a one pair.
I'm going to take a walk in the garden to gather some lucks.
Chief Jiang, I don't have any lucks too.
I'll join you, let me walk with you.
Don't leave, let's play again.
You guys have fun.
Mr. Qiao.
Stop giving trouble to Chief Jiang.
Everyone is just feeling the fun.
Let's play for a few more rounds.
Don't be a killjoy to us.
-Come, come. -You guys have fun.
You guys didn't hear it just now?
Li Wen said if I lose a lot of money,
I will have to kneel on a washboard when I'm home.
She won't do this to you.
Mr. Qiao is so humorous.
Everyone knows that, Miss Huang...
is such a gentle person.
That's right, that's right.
From what I know,
you even looked after...
Miss Huang's deceased ex-husband.
How would she have you...
kneeling on a washboard?
What?
Did I say something wrong?
Didn't you know about this?
I...I...
Li Wen tells me everything.
She even told me...
that she was married once.
It doesn't appear as that simple.
From what I know,
the ex-husband's cemetry land...
was bought by you personally.
In a young age,
you can have such a big heart...
on this matter.
I respect that.
Well, you do something that made...
your loved one happy.
Thanks for the compliment, Chief Chu.
Mr. Qiao.
I am not complimeting you.
Do you have any idea who her ex-husband is?
I don't.
Her ex-husband was Zhang Xiao Guang.
An important role in Shanghai's underground party.
He was shot to death in...
the Hefei Road No.32 action...
by a team led by me.
You are now a member of the organisation.
And you didn't know who is Zhang Xiao Guang.
Really?
Master Six.
It was during my investigation of...
the Shanghai underground party...
that led me to notice...
Zhang Xiao Guang's wife when he was alive,
Huang Li Wen.
And the several encounters...
I had with Miss Huang earlier,
it's all out of the...
sensitivity in my profession.
It had nothing to do with personal feelings.
In fact, the reason behind Miss Huang to get close with Mr. Qiao...
that is even more interesting to find out.
Chief Chu.
Li Wen is not that complicated as you thought she is.
I would like to ask the all the gentlemen here.
Would you ever allow the woman you love...
to be tied with politics?
The political situation is in a chaos nowadays.
What had Zhang Xiao Guang done?
Li Wen and I really didn't have any idea about it.
Li Wen always thought that...
her ex-husband was just a...
common trading manager at Hefei Road No.32...
who died in a fire accident.
When we were competing on wooing Li Wen,
you were already a chief.
I was just a poor guy with no money.
Neither was I working with Master Six,
nor I joined Secret Service.
I was even a loser in my own family.
Li Wen was hoping for a...
proper grave for her ex-husband.
If I could make her happy by buying a cemetry land,
didn't it just fulfil for what I said just now?
To do something for my loved one...
to make her happy.
That's why I did it.
Chief Chu.
This isn't something that you would understand, right?
By the way,
I would like a favor from all of you.
Chief Chu kept joking on this just now,
when Li Wen comes back later,
please don't tell her about this.
So that we won't be come to...
Master Six's dinner happily...
and leave with a blue mood
-Is that okay? -Sure, sure, sure.
Don't worry, we won't tell her.
Mr. Qiao is right.
Actually,
we as woman just follow our husband...
we won't know much...
about other business.
What happens to the world out there,
we will just leave it to the men.
Like this one in our house,
he is always busy out there,
but what exactly is he up to,
I have no idea at all.
Let me tell you...
You better not be...
messing around out there.
How is this topic related to me?
I am very obedient.
Boss Xu.
Miss Huang is not as obedient as you are.
Miss Huang's problem is much more...
complicated than how Mr. Qiao put it.
Miss Huang and Zhang Xiao Guang...
had known each other for more than 10 years.
Shared the same bed, spent a lot of time together.
Based on Zhang Xiao Guang's loyalty to the Communist Party,
aren't you worried that Miss Huang...
has been communized?
Chief Chu.
You kept calling her Miss Huang...
Miss Huang...
Li Wen is married to me now.
Can't you just let it go and...
call her Mrs. Qiao?
I'm not going to say anything about that.
You kept repeating in front of me that...
she shared a same bed with her ex-husband.
I'm not going to say anything about that too.
But you are trying...
to accuse her for...
being a communist.
Do you know that being a communist will be shot to death?
Chief Chu.
There is a saying that goes...
the friendship is still there even if the deal is off.
Do you really have to break me and Li Wen apart?
To force her to death?
What would you get from this?
Let me tell you this, I don't care...
whether you and Huang Li Wen are married or not.
Don't try to distract the subject here!
Oh really?
Brother Chu.
It's your turn.
Are you going to call or not?
I'll call.
Yes, I will call too.
Call.
Chief Chu.
I am not feeling happy...
with how you talk about my sister.
I'm going to beat you for this round.
Since Miss Li Na has given the words,
then I must do as you wish.
You have a flush.
It was just a fluke.
Wait a minute.
Faster, faster, faster.
Fullhouse.
Wow.
Well played.
Master Six's poker skill is superb.
There's no doubt about it.
This was because Miss Lina...
chose good pairs of cards for me.
Chief Jiang
Aren't you trying to change your luck?
What brings you here?
Master Six was just asking for you to join us.
I am looking for someone.
Here?
Will there be anyone in here?
See, there isn't anyone here.
Master Six said...
tonight the studyroom isn't open to public.
Come.
Give him a hand...give a Chief Jiang a hand.
He is drunk.
I'm telling you, there is someone in here.
There's someone in here, trust...
Chief Jiang, drink some water.
Drink some water.
I am telling you, there is someone in here, do you believe me?
There really is someone in here.
A pair of K.
Bigger than A.
Chief Chu.
Looks like you're not good enough...
to compete with Miss Li Na.
Looks like...
Thank you, boss.
It's time for me to gather some lucks in gambling too.
Excuse me, Master Six.
Master Six.
Chief Jiang is really drunk.
He went to your studyroom to read at this time of night.
And he was reading an English book.
Master Six.
Don't listen to Brother Qiao.
I'm flattered. Brother Qiao.
How would I understand English?
I saw sister-in-law entered the studyroom.
I walked in after her because I wanted to talk to her.
You really have drunk a lot.
You must have mistook someone else for my Li Wen.
What is this? What is this?
I see that...
Chief Jiang doesn't really look like he is drunk.
and Miss Huang...
has excused herself for so long now.
Where has she been?
Where is she?
Who is missing me?
Come.
My husband has particularly asked me to...
prepare some ice champagnes for all of you.
As a gift from us.
If everyone is feeling tired, then take a break.
Come and have a glass of wine.
Come, let's drink together, let's drink together.
Thank you.
Chief Chu, here.
I won all these.
That's really awesome.
You have a glass too.
No, I'm going to pass.
I think Huang Li Wen has already got what she wants.
It's okay, take it easy.
Find a chance...
to expose her disguise.
Come, excuse me.
Brother Qiao.
Chief Chu.
Just now...
if I have offended you,
please don't take it to the heart.
It's nothing, it's nothing.
Mrs. Qiao.
I sincerely wish you and Mr. Qiao...
happy marriage.
Let me drink it.
Chief Chu.
You will believe that...
we will definitely grow old together.
Brother Qiao.
You and sister-in-law got married in a rush.
You didn't even have a wedding dinner...
or a wedding ceremony.
It's totally absurd.
You guys are a perfect match to each other.
It's such a pity.
How about this...
since we have all the important guests here today,
how about we have a wedding game for you two?
Chief Jiang, what are you saying?
Today is Master Six's dinner banquet.
And you want to have a wedding game for us?
Won't we be stealing the thunder from the hostess?
We just want to...
live our life in a simple way.
-Right, right. -Right?
Mrs. Qiao.
That means you don't know Master Six well enough.
Hostess and guests should both have a great time.
Master Six is happy to be part of it too.
You two...
don't be shy.
You see...
We have so many important guests today.
They are here to play the wedding game with you.
It is an honor for you two.
Master Six has given out his words.
Come on, Brother Qiao.
Fine, I guess we'll just have to do it then.
We surely won't disappoint everyone here.
Well.
We have a rare opportunity today,
if we want to play a game,
let's play a special one.
Do you agree with me?
Yes.
Ladies, please.
Sister-in-law, you too.
Chief Jiang, this is...
Just a little game.
Brother Qiao.
Come, sister-in-law.
The rule is...
you will stand among them later,
Brother Qiao will have to find his wife...
blindfolded in front of us.
You will have our respect...
if you are able to seek her out.
We will applaud for you.
But if you fail to find her,
now that's the fun part.
If you make one mistake,
she will have take off one of her cloth.
Chief Jiang.
If you keep choosing the wrong girl...
Master Six.
Sister-in-law.
Chief Jiang.
Aren't you being a terrible person?
My sister is a decent lady.
How could she be embarrassed like this?
Master Six.
My...my Li Wen...
is a shy girl.
You are asking her to...
take off her cloth in front of so many people.
Don't you think you are being forceful to her?
Chief Jiang.
That's right, Master Six.
If you want to...
play other games,
I'm willing to play.
But this is...
That's right, Master Six
Brother Qiao, it's just a game
The point of a game...
is to feel the fun of it.
Don't be a killjoy.
Master Six.
Don't panic, sister-in-law.
You two are newly married.
Brother Qiao probably won't...
really mistake someone...
as his wife, will he?
Come, let's give them an applause.
You can't make mistake on this.
I can't take off my cloth.
What are you whispering about?
Don't cheat.
Enough, enough.
Come, Brother Qiao
Come.
Chief Jiang.
You've sprayed a lot of perfume.
Smells good?
Okay.
You can start now, Brother Qiao.
This hand...
Looks like you don't really do any housework.
Not this one.
Lady, your hand is so bony.
Your husband doesn't really...
feed you, does he?
Okay, thank you.
You see...
no matter how much perfume...
Chief Jiang had sprayed, it still doesn't...
cover the fragrant of rose on your hand.
Next time,
I must buy a handcream like yours...
for my Li Wen.
This person that you looked for...
the body shape, the figures,
looks almost like Huang Li Wen.
Chief Jiang, awesome.
Chief Jiang.
I can confirm that...
She...
She's not my Li Wen.
I'm sorry, lady.
I will have to apologize to your husband...
for dragging your out purposely.
It's because your have such a nice hand.
I did it purposely.
Thank you.
My wife, Huang Li Wen...
has asked me before,
what do I like about her the most?
I've always answered her with a smile.
Then today,
I will answer you in front of...
all the guests here.
Li Wen
The part that I like the most...
is here.
It's here.
Chief Jiang.
Everyone.
I can confirm...
She is my wife,
Huang Li Wen.
Well done.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
I didn't expect they would...
have so much preparation.
We will find another chance.
Master Six.
Come with me.
Okay.
Master Six.
I have something to say.
Please say it.
I want to say it to everyone.
Please quiet down.
Miss Lina has something to say.
Thank you for your love and support.
Tonight,
you gave my sister and my brother-in-law...
such a grand blessing.
I think tonight is the night is...
that they will never forget in their life.
Actually tonight...
I too have this little wish.
I wonder...
Master Six...
if you're willing to...
listen to what I’m going to say?
Please carry on.
Master Six, you might not know that...
my father passed away when I was really young.
Since I was a child,
I don't have any idea on how a father is like.
Throughout my life,
I didn't really have any grownups that helped me.
Sometimes there were some...
who were willing to lean a helping hand.
At the end I found that...
but the truth was there was always something on their mind.
You all...
called me Miss Lina.
You all thought that...
I am a social butterfly.
But you didn't know that...
I have my dignity and self respect.
I never ever sleep with those...
bastards who only went after my beauty.
I especially hate those man who...
who want to get close...
to me because of my beauty.
But these guys...
are everywhere.
Honestly,
I have started to feel very dissappointed.
Until,
I met Master Six.
You take care of me and care about...
me like I'm your own little sister.
You never have any...
unspoken intentions towards me.
Throughout my life,
this is the first time...
I have this feeling of such warmness.
So tonight,
I would like to ask Master Six...
to become my blood brother.
I wonder if...
you are willing to...
let me become your blood sister?
Everyone be quiet.
Miss Li Na.
She has self respect,
she is a nice girl,
now that she is asking me to become her blood brother.
This is the greatest suprise...
that I have for tonight.
But what do...
I have to deserve this.
After what you just said...
I am feeling not more than relieved...
and secure.
Master Six.
Thank you for taking care of Li Na.
A toast for you.
Congratulations, Master Six.
Everyone cheers.
Cheers.
Tonight everybody...
drink until you're drunk.
Yes.
Cheers.
Come, cheers.
I would like to have a toast for you.
Cheers...cheers.
Mrs. Wang.
-Your shawl is so pretty. -Really?
Your figure are looking...
better and better these days.
Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Qiao.
You're here to touch up your make up too.
It's cracking to pieces.
Just throw it away, throw it away.
Mrs. Qiao.
You can use mine.
Oh, how embarrassed is this.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Thank you then.
Mrs. Xu has such good taste.
You're using Gooben's product.
Let me tell you，
Gooben's owner is my friend.
This was he customized...
individually for me.
Really?
Try it.
No wonder your skin is so smooth.
Is it?
Well...
Women must take care of skin.
Makeup is just some simple touchup.
I think someday...
I really have to ask for you advice on sustaining beauty.
There's nothing I can advise you for.
Actually...
I really like...
you and your husband.
Let's be friends.
Really?
Let me tell you,
among Master Six's guests, I think there's...
only you and your husband are the nicest people here.
Looks like we really hit it off.
Then let's have a cup of coffee someday.
Sure.
By the way, I will ask the manager to...
customize some for you as well.
Really?
Thank you then.
Here.
Don't worry.
We still have chance.
What should we do?
Right now their ties with...
Master Six have strengthen.
They're getting away.
Mr. Qiao and Mrs Qiao live in Zhenning Village,
let's give them a ride home.
-Okay. -Thank you.
Mrs. Xu.
I wouldn't want to bother you two.
It's fine, it's just on our way home.
That's right, Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao,
just listen to this one here.
It's very rare for her to like someone.
It's important than we're heading the same way home.
Thank you, thank you.
Listen to yourself.
-Listen to how he talks. -Look at her.
Now...
I have become the one you dislike.
Go...go, just go get your car.
-Okay...okay. -Just go get your car, go.
Brother Qiao.
Sister-in-law.
Chief Jiang.
Excuse me.
Let's don't put our securities here in a difficult position.
Please cooperate with our security check.
What security check?
It's just a regular inspection.
How do you get in, how do you get out.
Alright, come.
Search their clothes and their bag.
What?
We need to go through body search?
Here's the thing...
as Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu have...
already stepped out of the door,
so...
naturally you won't need such inspection anymore.
Mr. Qiao and Miss Huang...
haven't stepped out yet.
That's why...
Please cooperate.
Chief Chu, what do you mean by this?
Do you really have to humiliate us in front of all these people tonight?
Li Wen.
Chief Jiang and Chief Chu...
just haven't had enough fun yet.
Body search is just an usual...
rule entering or exiting Mao's Mansion.
This isn't your first time...
visiting Mao's Mansion, is it?
There is no need to overreact,
it's just a regular routine.
Chief Chu.
Don't you think this is a bit over?
Today...
is Master Six's dinner banquet.
All of us are here as guests.
Is this your way of treating a guest?
Plus we already went through...
the body search when we came in earlier.
Now that we are leaving, and you want to check again?
What are you trying to look for?
Are you taking them as thieves?
We will know what we're looking for once we search them.
Whatever they have is what we're looking for.
You are being really rude.
Fine.
Darling...
Step aside.
Master Six.
Chief Chu...
He's being obnoxious.
Why does he want to inspect them out of no reason?
Why?
Are you suspecting us...
stole your precious stuff?
What do you guys say about this?
She's right.
Sorry, sorry.
Let me tell you this, Master Six.
Everyone was really happy...
but after all these happened...
when we are leaving,
it's really ruining the mood, do you know that?
Master Six.
Sorry, sorry.
Chief Chu.
When did I ever...
give you such ridiculous order?
You didn't, Master Six, please calm down.
Brother Chu is just too rigid.
He's always about keeping security measures...
regardless of any circumstances.
It's fine now, it's fine now, Master Six.
Brother Qiao, sister-in-law, it's okay now, good bye.
Go...go, let's go.
-Let's go -I don't want to go.
Chief Chu, you want to have our body search right?
Fine, search us then.
-My hat. -Sister-in-law...
My bag, check it.
Do I need to take off my cloth?
Check it.
Are you done?
Let them check.
Brother Qiao,Brother Qiao.
Here.
I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate.
Check it.
-Master Six. -Are you done with this?
Seriously?
You want to check these shoes too?
I'll take it off, I'll take it off now.
I'll take it off.
Chief Chu.
Wait a second.
Is it okay now?
Actually, Master Six...
I know that...
this is the final sideshow.
It's such a wonderful evening,
we've had our drinks and dinner.
We shall be leaving now.
Master Six.
Let's go.
Li Na, let's go.
Wait.
Send a car for Miss Li Na.
Take her home.
Yes.
Let's go.
The party is over...the party is over.
The party is over.
It's all your fault.
Why did you bring me along if you...
had already known Chief Chu would be there?
And I had to be treated like that.
It's okay now, don't be mad.
I didn't know that...
Chief Chu would act like that too...
that he would be so petty.
Luckily you chose to marry me...
instead of him.
Mrs. Xu.
Did I mess up my make up?
It's fine, it's fine.
I'll still love you even if it's messed up.
Did I ask you to talk?
Mrs Qiao, it's going to be fine.
Just a little bit of touch up, you would be fine.
And, don't blame it on Mr. Qiao.
It's certainly not his intention for you to go through all that.
That's right.
Darling,
don't be mad at me,
I won't want you to go through all that as well.
How is that related to you too?
Am I looking good?
You are.
Mrs. Xu, thank you.
You're welcome.
Something was wrong.
Do you think...
if it's possible that the...
security guards had already bribed...
by Qiao Zhi Cai?
I should have search him myself just now.
You are seriously thinking about this right now?
Didn't you see...
Master Six's expression just now?
Master Six isn't the priority right now.
They just got their hands on the thing.
They won't be able to get rid of it at such short time.
It must still be with them.
How about this, Chief Jiang?
You come up with a reason,
stop by their house,
I'll find some guy to cooperate with you from the outside.
What do you think?
Brother Chu, well.
Your brother, I...
drank a little too much tonight.
I'm tired.
We'll talk about it next time, next time.
Chief Jiang!
Alright then, I'll see you around, Chief Chu.
Leaving now, Chief Jiang?
Yes.
Chief, so where do you want to go now? Go back?
Go to Zhenning Village.
Go to Zhenning Village now?
Yes, now.
Let me tell you...
Huang Li Wen and Qiao Zhi Cai...
will definitely have action within 24 hours.
Here's how it works...
I can't show up myself.
Bring some guys with you,
to keep an eye on his house discreetly.
Follow him once he get out of the house.
I will wait for your call at the department.
Must be discreet, do you understand?
Yes.
Call the security guards over.
Tonight, what was...
Chief Jiang doing in the studyroom?
Did he...
touch anything in here?
To answer Master Six,
the studyroom wasn't lighten up,
I wasn't able to see it clearly.
Just remember that Mr. Qiao...
was asking Chief Jiang to join him for the poker.
Chief Jiang had refused and...
insisted that there was someone in the room.
He searched everywhere,
even pulled up the drapes.
But he didn't find anyone here.
Mr. Qiao said Chief Jiang was drunk.
So instantly I asked him to leave the room.
