Arsenal Military Academy
Episode 26
Do you deserve a second chance?
If I fail again,
I'll kill myself.
Boss,
Lord Chengrui is outside
asking to see you.
This is your last chance.
The Royal Seal is in your hands, right?
I know you're working for the Japanese.
I don't care about other things,
but the Seal
is my ancestor's legacy.
It's of significant importance
especially now.
You cannot give it to the Japanese.
Your ancestor?
Why should I care
about your ancestor?
Chengrui,
don't tell me you forgot.
You're a smart man.
Don't bring up things like ancestors or status
in front of me.
I have nothing to do with them.
I'm the head of the Japan COC.
The chamber's interest
is my priority.
Xianrong, since when you've become like this?
Stop it.
You just want the Seal back, don't you?
That's easy.
Pay the ransom with gold and silver.
Remember,
your whole family must come.
Both of you volunteer to
be Qu Manting's bodyguards?
- Yes. - Yes.
How come you two are so eager all of a sudden?
Gu Yanzhen,
give me a reason.
Sir,
Ms. Qu Manting is a young lady,
but she's repeatedly made
patriotic anti-Japanese remarks in public,
condemning the Japanese
for their despicable acts in Feng'an.
Her courage and spirit
are admirable.
Even stalking and assassination
can't change her mind.
What a heroine!
She's set an example
for me, our country and our people.
She's a role model for all soldiers as well.
Now she's in trouble,
as a soldier,
it's my duty
to protect her from being harmed.
Those are my heartfelt words.
I hope you can grant my request.
Huang Song,
what about you?
I've met her before.
Now that Liangchen isn't here,
I feel bored.
Look at you two,
one is clumsy;
the other is unreliable.
Corporal.
Yes!
Go
Ask Shen Junshan to come here.
Yes.
Sir,
why do you want to see him?
We can do it.
I don't
trust you two.
You can go with him,
or just leave.
So unfair!
Yanzhen.
Stop it.
Sergeant Guo,
we'll go.
The more,
the merrier.
What's going on?
They all feel sorry for you?
They came to protect you.
So many!
Miss,
this is for you.
What is it?
Another auction!
Those invitations came every month.
Forget it.
It's boring.
Have a seat.
Let me go get changed.
The Royal Seal?
That's what happened.
So you don't know who took it?
I'm not sure.
But I feel
the Japanese are involved.
Yes.
Last time, on the train,
they were Japanese.
If the Japanese are involved,
it can't be good.
It's definitely more than just an auction.
If that's the case,
we should go and find out
what the Japanese are plotting.
But,
we have no invitations.
Why...
Why are you staring at me?
I only have one.
It's natural for a superstar like you
to bring a few bodyguards, right?
I guess.
You said the Japanese are plotting something.
So it's risky to attend the auction.
Then why should I go?
What are you afraid of?
We'll protect you.
So extravagant.
It's a huge crowd.
You call this extravagant?
My driver's birthday celebration
had more people than this.
Miss Yuan, look here.
Miss Yuan.
Look over here.
Miss Yuan,
do you think you and Ms. Qu Manting,
who is more popular?
Can you answer the question?
Isn't that Vice Minister Gu's son, Gu Yanzhen?
And that man is
Shen Tingbai's brother,
the second son of the Shens.
How come they're here together?
Go have a look.
It may be a scoop.
Let's go.
Ms. Qu,
look here.
Ms. Qu.
Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu.
How do you feel about
coming to this event
with Ms. Qu?
Can you tell us?
Mr. Gu.
Ms. Qu.
Didn't we agree to lay low?
Yes.
This is a low profile.
Junshan.
Excuse me.
Come.
Chengrui,
this may be a trap.
Stay alert.
Take care of your mother.
Yes, father.
I've made arrangements.
OK.
I'm relieved then.
Lord Rong's arrived.
OK.
Lord Rong.
Nice to meet you.
Lord.
Let's go.
Lord.
Stick to the plan.
Yes.
Are you clear?
Yes,
loud and clear.
Other things are less important.
Take as many as you can.
But you must get the Royal Seal.
I know. I will.
I know.
Consider it done, boss.
Let's go.
Look,
the two men talking on the left
is Yu Huimin from the Peking Finance Department,
and Gong Zizhen from the Education Department.
The one on the right
is Fang Dayou from the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce.
Those people talking in a small circle
are former royal members.
All of them
are powerful figures.
Isn't that Mayor Bai?
So many people are here.
The situation
will be more complicated than we expected.
Be extra careful.
Hey,
you all came with me.
Don't make a huge scene.
Listen,
you must...
You ungrateful...
ungrateful ingrates!
Invitation, please.
Welcome.
Hello,
invitation, please.
Welcome.
They are?
My entourage.
You don't expect me to carry
the stuff I bid back home alone, right?
The auction is about to begin.
You came in time.
Welcome.
Please.
Hello.
You must be Ms. Qu Manting.
I am.
Where's the banquet hall?
I didn't find it.
Xue,
are you going to the banquet hall?
Yes.
I'm bringing Miss Yuan there.
Bring Ms. Qu with you, too.
OK.
Ms. Qu,
follow me, please.
Go in from the back,
got it?
Yes.
OK. Go ahead.
Ladies, thanks for joining us tonight.
When the auction begins,
please bring your items
to the stage respectively
according to the number
on your wrist corsage
and give them to the auctioneer.
It's simple, isn't it?
Of course,
not everyone
can undertake such a task.
Only ladies like you who are
pretty, elegant and graceful
are qualified.
Well,
would you please
come and collect your number?
Let's go.
The auction
is in your hands, Mr. James.
Don't worry.
You can trust me.
Just now, I saw several
former royal members outside.
I fear if they see the items,
they'll make a scene.
No need to worry, Mr. James.
Guests we invited
won't cause any trouble.
Besides, there are guards
everywhere in the hall.
All troublemakers, if there's any,
will be taken care of immediately.
We won't allow anyone to sabotage the auction.
That's good. I'm relieved.
Is there any item you fancy?
Of course.
I heard that item was exceptional.
Really?
Yes.
It seems that
the Japanese aren't the only problem.
The Royal Seal will be auctioned.
I bet those former royal members
are here for the Seal, too.
What should we do?
Tons of people are in the hall.
Let's canvass the area
before making our next move.
Let's split up
and come back in 10 minutes.
Let's go.
Find a chance
and kill her.
Yes.
Since she is here,
Xie Liangchen may also be around.
Find where she is
and get rid of her as well
if you see her.
Yes.
Are all items ready for the auction?
There are tons of guests.
No mistake is allowed.
Everything is arranged as you requested.
They'd better not show up.
But if they do,
they won't get out of here alive.
This time,
we cannot make mistakes.
You can rest assured.
Tons of the Japanese are guarding the aisle.
There are guards at all exits,
all armed.
The place is heavily guarded.
A few exits have been blocked.
No one is allowed to go near them.
The auction tonight
isn't as simple as it seems.
Is it a trap?
Items for the auction are many
and sensitive, too.
There must be one place more heavily guarded
than the others.
Listen,
let's split up into two teams,
one going upstairs;
the other downstairs.
First, get rid of the guards
at the exit.
By the way,
we don't know the structure of the building,
so
Our priority
is to find the floor plan first.
Understand?
Move.
Who is it?
Who's inside?
What are you doing here?
I...
Well...
Hey, you...
See you in a bit.
Is anyone here?
Come out.
My hands are itchy.
Yanzhen, lower your voice,
or others may find us.
Oh silly!
Huang Song,
Come here.
Help me, help me.
OK, yeah.
Hey, are you a guard?
I am.
Untie me first.
Untie me.
- Hurry. - OK, OK, OK.
Give me a hand.
What happened to you?
Someone hit me and I passed out.
Who the hell hit you?
I didn't see his face.
Untie me. Hurry up.
I remember someone said
to get rid of the guards first.
That's right.
I'm kidding.
It's a joke. Come on.
He's fainted? Well.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Be careful.
OK.
I'm going to the second floor.
OK.
Hey,
have some rest here.
I'm sorry.
Boss.
Finished?
All of them.
Gu Yanzhen,
what are you doing here?
The auction is about to begin.
I'll pass.
What's wrong?
Not in the mood.
Yuan Pingting is also here.
Had I known she'd be here,
I wouldn't have come,
even if they paid me a fortune.
You've already taken their money.
I can return it.
I don't need it anyway.
You're so unprofessional.
What are you doing here?
To pee.
The bathroom is over there.
Come on.
I'll go with you.
What are you doing?
Let's go together.
I don't need you.
You pervert!
I'm a pervert?
- Let go of me! - I won't look.
Let me go!
Junshan.
Have you found the floor plan?
Ladies and gentlemen,
the auction will begin in 10 minutes.
It's about to begin.
What should we do?
Since we can't steal it,
we can't let the auction proceed.
It's around the corner.
Someone is here.
It's too noisy.
Can't do anything.
Go around it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the auction
now begins.
Now, let's welcome our guest
to present
the first item.
What's wrong?
Someone else is here.
What do you mean?
Goodness!
So many!
Nothing has happened.
I...
You're always like this.
How did you get in?
I...
The door is open
so I came straight in.
It's open?
Yeah, so I came in.
This is gorgeous.
Is it?
Put it down.
Come with me.
Why should I go with you?
Why?
I don't know.
You don't know?
If you don't go with me, I'll shoot you!
Put the gun down.
I put it down?
You put it down first.
Drop your gun first.
I won't.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Put it down.
Put that thing down.
Put it down, or I will shoot!
Drop your gun first.
No?
Okay.
Junshan.
Look.
What's wrong? The lights are off.
What's going on?
Please calm down
and remain seated.
It should be a circuit problem.
We'll fix it immediately.
Fine, fine, fine.
Just a blackout. Let go.
No.
Father, mother,
don't go anywhere.
I'll go have a look.
Be careful.
Be patient.
We can make use of this situation.
What's going on?
Don't know yet.
Stick to the plan.
Yes.
Junshan.
Liangchen,
Huang Song,
Got it.
What is this?
Look.
Why did you take their stuff?
It's not theirs.
The Eight-Nation Alliance stole it from us.
And this,
the Royal Seal.
How did you find it?
I have my own ways.
Let's get out of here first.
I'll take it.
Junshan.
Xianrong,
what are you doing here?
I came with my family for the auction.
And you?
I'm assigned to be Qu Manting's bodyguard.
She's here,
so here I am.
I see.
Where are you going?
The lights in the hall went off.
It's a mess inside,
so I came out.
It's not safe here.
You'd better not run around.
So glad you are here.
I was so scared just now.
Where's your family?
I don't know.
I got separated from them.
You should go back.
They may be waiting for you.
No.
The situation inside is out of control.
How about we go there to have a look?
I heard gunshots over there.
Gunshots?
Let's wait here then.
Alright.
Liangchen, let's go.
I'm still worried.
Why don't you go first?
I need to go back to check.
Soon they'll conduct a search for the losing items.
We two together are a huge target.
You leave with the items first.
I'll go check on Shen Junshan and the others.
OK.
Be careful.
I'm off.
You too.
Come on,
can you let go of me?
I'm suffocated.
I can't.
I'm scared.
You're scared
so you're taking advantage of me?
What is this?
What are you doing?
I got it.
Got what?
Look.
Be quiet. Lower your voice.
Where are Shen Junshan and Xie Liangchen?
Xianrong is here, too.
Shen Junshan left with her.
Liangchen was worried about him
so he followed them.
Xianrong is here.
I saw her, too.
Weren't she with James?
Who's James?
The initiator of the auction.
Hide quickly.
You go first. Go now.
See you at our spot.
Hurry!
OK.
Quickly!
Go to the auction hall.
It's safer there.
I'll be with you later.
Be good.
OK?
You must be careful.
My lady.
Calm down. Lord. Lord.
Have you found her?
Not yet.
Father, what's wrong?
Your mother is missing.
Xianrong.
Xianrong took her away.
Block this area
and guard all exits.
All people at the auction
must be thoroughly searched
before leaving.
Yes.
The object isn't here.
This is a trap.
Then what should we do now?
The blackout wasn't an accident.
It was done on purpose.
Let's go.
This way, please.
How did you do your work?
I apologize for the inconvenience today.
How did this happen?
This way, please.
It's our fault.
My apologies.
You're so careless.
- This way, please. - Let's go.
Stay away from me.
He does not left.
He left.
I heard it.
Gu Yanzhen, knock it off.
Alright.
What about now?
He's gone.
Who is he?
A member of the Japan COC,
Jin Xianrong's man.
I almost got killed by him twice.
This is the third time.
Have you seen Huang Song?
I asked him to leave first.
The security is tight outside.
We need an exit plan.
What is this?
The Royal Seal.
Huang Song stole it.
What should we do now?
Have you found your family?
They must've left first.
Wait a minute.
Then we should leave, too.
Don't you need to wait for Qu Manting?
They might've left, too.
Alright.
Xianrong.
Junshan.
Let me introduce.
This is Mr. James,
a close friend of my father,
also the initiator of the auction.
Mr. James,
this is Shen Junshan,
also my good friend.
Hello.
Mr. James,
how come the auctions ends
before it even gets started?
Isn't the power is back?
A few thieves broke in.
For the safety of our guests,
I decided to end the auction.
What a shame!
Hope your loss isn't too big
and good luck catching the thieves.
I hope so.
Xianrong,
I have something else to do.
I'm off.
Please.
Goodbye.
She looks familiar.
Where have we met before?
