I've confirmed it.

The Zhou Li locked up in Caohejing Prison is indeed the Zhou Li we know.

I am not insane. We can save Zhou Li.

If we know the transfer place and time, we have a chance to succeed.

From what I know, no one can save anyone from Bi Zhongliang's hands.

If it were some other thing, I surely would help you.

Please give me a bit more time and we both won't have any regrets anymore.

Will you go?

No problem.

You must not go escort the prisoners.

It doesn't matter if you are willing or not, there are some goodbyes that cannot be prevented.

If you want me to not do anything,

I can't do it.

Episode 16 -

What if... I'm just saying what if,

by 11 a.m., you all still haven't seen the prisoner truck,

and I didn't give you any new information,

then it means that you must abandon the rescue mission.

Although we got delayed, I don't want to be unable to reach Tilanqiao ever.

Don't worry, Team Leader Chen.

If my driving skills are only second place,

then no one in Shanghai bund will dare say that they are first place.

Two months ago, I met a German.

He brought me to race cars with a group of Germans.

Do you know that when we reached the place,

I really surprised all of them. - Oh.

After winning over them twice, none wanted to race with me anymore.

That good? Just keep bragging.

I am not bragging.

My German friend said

that if I go to Germany,

I surely will be the most famous and highest earning car racer.

Great.

I don't want to go.

The war there is worse than here.

Moreover, I don't understand their language at all!

If one day, a bomb falls,

I wouldn't even know where to escape.

Even if you have the money, you must have the life to spend it. Isn't it so, Team Leader Chen?

That's right.

You indeed drive so fast.

How come Fatty Yu drives like this?!

Fixing the car wasted a lot of time so he is hurrying.

How come they are still not here?

There is still 5 minutes. If they still don't come, we have to withdraw.

They will come.

They surely will come.

You two.

Team Leader Tang, why are you here?

Come with me.

Team Leader Liu instructed us to guard here.

What nonsense are you saying?

It was Erbao who told me to call you two.

Let's go.

He is waiting for you two inside.

Damn them! Who dare block our truck?

They are here.

They are here. They are finally here.

Liu Erbao from Operations Division. Don't mind him. Just drive.

It's still not 11 a.m. That's great.

But it has been quite delayed.

What now?

Don't know.

What are we waiting for?

Give the order!

Prepare to move.

Team Leader Chen.

Erbao,

what are you checking?

Division Chief got news that someone is smuggling medicines,

and told me to put a blockade here.

This truck is carrying death convicts.

If you aren't at ease, you can go check.

I almost forgot.

Team Leader Chen's mission today is to escort the criminals.

But... you seem to be running late.

That's right.

This truck has a flat tire again. How come this rotten truck has so many problems?

Hey, Erbao,

since all of you are here, go help out and guard the truck.

Oh, no problem. Come. Come.

Surround it. Surround it.

Yes! - Run. Run.

Run. - Ah Da and Ah Qing,

bring all the prisoners out.

Yes.

Get out. Hurry. - Get out. Hurry.

Hurry. Hurry and move.

Hurry. Hurry up.

Follow.

Hurry! - Hurry and move.

Hurry! - Stand well.

The situation has changed. Mission is cancelled.

How about it? Has everyone withdrawn?

Lü Ming hasn't returned yet.

What?

This is bad.

Erbao,

do you have a cigarette?

Oh, yes, but it's not a high-quality cigarette.

You guys worked hard, too.

You lowly traitor!

Do you want to die?

I'll beat you to death!

The authorities ordered us to terminate operation!

Why? - This is an order!

What order?

You won't even listen to me anymore?

This is what you get for running into me!

If he keeps this up, he'll beat her to death!

You want to die earlier? I'll fulfill your wish!

I won't follow this order!

She's my wife!

She's my wife!

Look!

This is what you get for hitting me.

This is what you get for hitting me.

Do you see this? She's doing this to protect you!

This is what you get for hitting me! - Enough.

Once we reach Tilanqiao Prison, you can do whatever you like with her,

but nobody is allowed to die under my watch.

Ah Da, Ah Qing, help her up.

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

I'll let you live a few more hours!

Done!

Done.

Team Leader Chen, the truck is fixed.

Okay.

If nothing else, I'll leave now.

Okay, Team Leader Chen. Take care.

Get in the truck!

Let's go. - Get in the truck!

Hurry, hurry. - Keep up!

You lowly traitors!

Keep up. - Hurry!

Hurry. Get in!

Get in!

Hurry and get in the truck.

Was my guess incorrect?

Quickly report to Division Chief that Team Leader Chen is leaving Qiaojiashan.

Yes, sir!

Come with me.

Let's go!

They all escaped.

Sir! - What is it?

Two of our men were murdered.

Over there!

Both died from somebody breaking their necks.

While saying eternal farewell to an abandoned anti-Japanese soldier,

Chen Shen's vision is filled with Prime Minister's face.

Just as Prime Minister had wished,

he has slowly crafted a calloused heart.

He also now understands that some people's passing

is to allow other people to continue on with more persistence,

and these people are faced with

unpredictable futures.

Two people were murdered

in a radius of less than 200 meters,

but nobody heard?

Division Chief,

everyone had designated duties.

Also, we really didn't have enough men.

It's not a failure on your part.

It's that the murderer is somebody familiar to us.

Division Chief, do you want to search for who in the Operations Division has a missing button?

That'll alert the enemy.

Division Chief, I know people were certainly at the scene, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

At the time, there was a tea stall by the street.

But after the prisoner van successfully left,

all the people at the stall disappeared. Thus, I found this.

According to you,

those people suddenly withdrew?

That's right.

Did Chen Shen behave abnormally?

There was nothing abnormal about Chen Shen.

Except the prisoner van was a little late to Qiaojiashan today.

Also, right as I blocked the prisoner van, its tire popped.

What was the approximate time of that?

11 o'clock.

Traveling from Caohejing to Qiaojiashan

typically takes about 30 minutes.

That's right. They were late today.

Also, Fatty Yu continuously complained the car was in bad condition.

Right as they departed, the car had technical issues.

What other

suspicious people did you see?

I saw Tang Shanhai.

Tang Shanhai?

Why was he there?

He said he was delivering furniture wood for Li Moqun's friend.

Did you let him through? - No.

I told him to leave behind the address, and I would deliver the wood later. Then, he left.

Li Moqun's friend?

Which friend?

That mistress, Miss Liu.

Investigate two issues for me.

First:
