Episode 41
Xiang!
Xiang, thank god.
Mom,
I’m OK.
How did you escape?
Did you get hurt?
Anything wrong?
I’m fine, mom.
Don’t worry.
How did you know this?
Where is my dad?
He is still waiting at the police station.
A friend of you
came here for a photo of you,
so we knew that.
My friend?
Which one?
The Mr. Gu,
Gu Yanzhen!
Gu Yanzhen?
Where is he?
He
Must still be looking for you outside.
Mom,
I need to go out for a while.
Xiang!
Sir,
stop!
Sir!
To the police station.
No. No way.
Nobody is working now.
Don’t stop me from making reward.
I can give you more!
Is…
Is this you?
Is she you?
Right?
It’s me.
God bless me!
I found her!
Get on!
What?
I’ll bring you to the one who wants you.
Hurry up! Get on!
Sit still!
Wait!
Sit down.
Where…
Where are you taking me to?
Where is it?
Almost there!
Sir!
The one you want is here!
So grateful in this life
You’re here with me
Wind brings back the memory
In dream shall we meet
Hope in this life
We’ll love and cherish each other
Till death do us apart
Don’t idle away your youth
Dreams never stop
So grateful in this life
You’re here with me
Wind brings back the memory
In dream shall we meet
Gu Yanzhen.
Hope in this life
Gu Yanzhen.
We’ll love and cherish each other
Till death do us apart
Don’t idle away your youth
Dreams never stop
Gu Yanzhen!
Xie Xiang...
So grateful in this life
You’re here with me
Wind brings back the memory

Xie Xiang...
Hope in this life
We’ll love and cherish each other
Xie Xiang...
Till death do us apart
Don’t idle away your youth
Dreams never stop
Sir, your flowers.
Thank you.
Welcome next time.
I want some flowers.
Welcome, sir.
What kind do you like?
I’d buy those
which you commend.
Then, will that be
a gift?
Yes, to my girlfriend.
To girlfriend?
Well, look,
what about this bunch of lilies?
These just arrived this morning.
They can last ten days.
Or the roses?
Girls love roses too.
Well,
how about the yellow roses?
Or,
or this bunch of roses.
This one is blooming well.
And you could add some…
Mr. Li!
Why are you here?
Who are you?
I haven’t seen you for a long time.
Come, let me tell you something.
Who…who are you?
Something important, come on!
Xianrong,
there is no more time for your task.
It has been a year after you came to Shunyuan,
but there is no progress on your task.
The leadership is already disappointed.
It’s not good
for you to keep delaying it.
Yes.
I got it.
Still no specific location?
The Russian has died,
and the map is a fake one.
That translator
can only draw a general location.
Maybe he really doesn’t know anything.
No one can survive that kind of torture.
This is classified now.
I heard that the translator has escaped.
You should bring him back as soon as possible.
Yes.
I’ve already sent someone to do it.
And the real map,
should be found soon too.
Yes.
They are the geologists
sent by Mr. Yamamoto.
They will cooperate with you next.
Please don’t worry.
I will find the map as soon as possible.
Mr. Li,
is that one just now your friend?
My neighbor next door.
Where is he?
Went back home.
But, his flowers…
I can bring them to him.
- Alright, thank you. - Give them to me.
Wait.
Your hand got hurt?
It’s not a big deal.
I’m fine.
Wait a second.
Let me bind it up for you.
You...
You can bind up injuries?
Not so well.
But it may be like wrapping up the flowers.
Alright.
That’s it?
This is so ugly.
Don’t touch it!
I think it’s pretty.
Trust me.
I never tell lies.
Let me bring you some water.
I’m not thirsty.
Well,
are you busy in a moment?
No.
Well,
don’t you want water?
No.
And any food?
No.
Then, could you help me with some work?
What?
Are we familiar?
Sure.
I can even remember you.
You are Mr. Li Wenzhong from Baihua Company.
Just help me move something.
It’s easy. Wait.
But, I got hurt!
I have done what I should do.
What else?
No.
Thank you for this.
Nothing at all.
But,
do you have
such a heavy workload every day?
No.
These are for a month.
What?
Mr. Li,
you are indeed a soldier.
So tall and so strong.
You can even
finish the work for a month in one day!
Thank you!
It should be me who say this.
Let me treat you the dinner.
You treat me?
Do you have money?
Sure.
Look.
Fine.
Let me change my clothes first.
Is that heavy?
No. I’m used to it.
I always forget things.
This can help me.
Let’s go.
Let me treat you.
Walk this side.
Or you’ll fall down.
How about I treat you…
noodles?
No.
What about dumplings?
I want western food.
But that’ll be expensive.
Yeah.
Your treat.
Yes.
But I can’t afford western food.
Then I treat you.
No, no.
We had a deal.
I should treat you.
Noodles, alright?
You know what, if you bully her again,
I’ll beat you up...
Wenzhong!
Let’s go have dinner.
I have had.
What?
Well, I’m leaving now.
My mom made ginseng soup.
Get up and have some.
Why soup again?
I’m so tired of that.
She said you are in poor health now
and you need energy.
Have it now.
Take it easy.
Look what you did.
What are you looking at?
What?
There is the soup too!
Enough.
I’m a patient, OK?
I don’t think so.
You’re so energetic.
Even stronger than me.
What’s wrong?
Does it hurt again?
No.
Let me see that.
It’s not necessary.
Let me see!
Hands off!
My mom will see this!
So what?
You know what,
your mom likes me so much.
She looked at me as if
she was looking at her future son-in-law.
Don’t flatter yourself.
That’s real!
So many things happened these days.
How about you find a temple to worship?
Can you talk seriously?
I’m not kidding.
Do you know who did that?
I heard that
it was the Japanese.
Japanese?
Was it because
they had known I went
to the hospital to save people?
If it were really them,
they could have just killed you,
why did they catch you?
Maybe it was
because of that boy.
There was a boy
who escaped together with us.
I always thought he had some secrets.
He gave me an address and told me
to find him after I recovered.
Since they have known your place,
then it’s not safe here now.
Do you have any relatives or friends
out of town
who can shelter your parents?
Or I can help you.
My grandma is living in Hangzhou.
I’ll discuss with my parents later.
We should find it out.
At least we should know
who we offended and
what troubles we caused.
You’d better go back to Shunyuan with me.
Under this circumstance,
the Academy is safer to stay.
Don’t worry,
I’m here with you.
I won’t let you
be in troubles alone anymore.
Gu,
you’re up.
I need some walks.
I’ve been lying too long.
Young people are always in good health.
Yanzhen,
don’t be too careless.
You will get cold in the living room.
You’d better go back to lie in bed.
I’m fine, Mrs. Xie,
and it doesn’t matter.
Mom,
he is not that delicate.
The one who was kidnapped is me!
And,
can you stop calling him Yanzhen?
Can you call him Gu like my dad does?
That’s not appropriate.
I like it.
None of your business.
I think that
“Yanzhen” sounds kinder.
Mrs. Xie is right.
Yanzhen,
what do you want for dinner?
Anything is fine.
I’ll go.
What about Sichuan cuisine?
He doesn’t eat spicy food.
Well, how about Shanghai cuisine?
That will be great!
Are you all right?
I saw the news in the newspaper.
I’m so worried about you!
You are…
Hello, Mr. Xie,
I’m Xiang’s friend,
Shen Junshan.
Shen Junshan?
I think you are familiar.
I met you once
in Shunyuan
before.
Right! I remember.
You’re Chairman Shen’s brother.
Right?
Yes.
Come on,
come in please.
Here.
This way.
Mom, why is that?
What have you done?
You’re a girl!
How can you be so dissolute?
I’m not!
I’m not blind!
You!
Thanks.
This time is in a hurry
and I didn’t inform you.
It was because I saw
the news of
Xiang’s matter in the newspaper.
I was so anxious
that I didn’t even prepare gifts.
Mr. and Mrs. Xie,
please
forgive my
impoliteness.
Mr. Shen,
how did you
get to know Xiang?
Mr. Xie,
you can just call me Junshan.
Didn’t
you remember?
Last time at my family’s party,
Xiang’s face
was dirty by the cake.
It was me who took her to clean.
Since then,
we’ve known each other.
Yes, right, I remember.
You are a student from the Academy.
Well,
you should be a
classmate of Gu.
Yes,
we are classmates.
What a coincidence.
Yes,
it is.
And we are friends too.
Good friends.
I should go to prepare the dinner.
It’s rare that two of Xiang’s friends
are here in our house,
then how about hot pot?
Great!
That’ll be nice.
OK.
I’ll go prepare for it.
Stay to have dinner with us.
I’ll go help my mom.
Xiang,
what’s wrong with you?
No!
I…
Didn’t I tell you that
you should be honest and bounden?
You’re a girl.
How can you swing between two men?
Mom!
I didn’t! I…
Stop it.
After dinner,
you should
ask that Mr. Shen
to leave.
I like Gu Yanzhen.
He is so nice.
Don’t cheat on him.
What are you waiting for?
Go do some help!
Now!
Let’s start our dinner!
Yes.
Well, help yourself.
Yes, right.
You should eat
by yourself.
The scallion,
coriander,
and the seasoning are all here.
Come on.
Eat. Enjoy yourself.
Bye-bye.
Mr. Xie,
Mrs. Xie,
that’s it.
Thanks for the dinner.
You’re welcome.
Could
Xiang walk me out
please?
Alright.
Xiang,
you walk Mr. Shen out.
OK.
Let’s go.
See you.
When
did you know this?
Long time ago.
How long?
I don’t remember.
I have known this
on the day
of the Mask Ball.
You have to go back to Shunyuan now.
I’ll buy the tickets.
I’ll go back with you.
No.
Don’t say no.
This is not a trivial matter.
You will need my help.
Alright,
it is late now.
Go back for rest early.
We have
many things to do tomorrow.
See you.
What are you doing here?
Waiting for you.
What?
Don’t want him to leave?
Stop your nonsenses.
Look at you,
so upset.
I’m not.
You can never talk well.
Fine,
you can.
We have to
find that boy when we are back there
and figure it out.
Yes.
I can go with you.
Get on.
No, thanks.
Come on.
It is here.
Come in.
You knew that I’ll come for you?
They won’t
let me escape so easily.
So I guessed
if you are in danger,
you may come to me.
You knew that I’ll be in danger?
Well…
Why did they arrest you?
What have you done?
My father
is doing business of leather.
I have been staying in the north with him when I was a child.
Then gradually
I could speak their language.
They are…
Russians.
Yes.
One of my friends
offered me a job
to be a translator
for a Russian
called Evan.
He said he was a painter
and just came to Shunyuan.
He wanted to walk around
but he couldn’t speak Chinese.
So he asked me to accompany him.
And he would pay me a lot.
So, I said yes.
Then I stayed
with Evan for the next month
for collecting culture around.
Then?
Then it was over,
he paid me.
And we haven’t
been in touch since then.
But sooner,
one day when I was resting
in my rental,
some people broke in and caught
me without saying anything.
And they
kept torturing me.
They were
Japanese?
What did they ask you?
They asked me
what did we do
and where did we go
when I was with Evan.
And they wanted me
to tell the details about the address.
I remember
that they asked
if I had seen any map painted by him.
Map?
I thought it was weird too.
So I have been
thinking about this these days.
When I was being Evan’s translator,
I thought he was not only a painter.
Then what is he?
I don’t know either.
But I
had never seen him draw a painting.
What’s more,
where he went
were not beautiful places,
but some deserted wildernesses.
And he was like finding something
here and there.
So I guessed
he might be a geologist.
Geologist?
Yes.
What have you told the Japanese?
They tortured me so bad
that I almost told them all of these.
But,
here’s a thing I didn’t.
What’s that?
Evan rented a flat for a long time
except for his residence.
But he seldom went there.
And I only went there once.
Where is it?
It’s at West Fourth Street, No. 45,
Room 204.
What’s your plan next?
I know this is very important.
I can’t trust others.
I haven’t told anybody and didn’t leave.
But now,
I have told you about this.
I can leave in peace now.
Don’t bother.
You have saved my life.
I can’t take more benefits from you.
Take it.
Look at your hurts.
Besides,
you will need money in Shanghai.
Thank you.
Ms,
I have found out
that the Russian
used to rent
a flat in Shunyuan.
Except for his residence,
there is another flat?
Yes.
Call up men
to check it out.
Take cover!
Shoot!
I got the map!
Let’s go!
Leave now!
After her.
Go! I’ll cover you!
Go help Xie Xiang!
I’ll cover you!
You want this?
Give me that,
and I’ll let you go.
Get it by yourself if you want it!
Xie Xiang!
Come here!
Let’s go!
Now!
