People from Chongqing are having a secret meeting. Arrest them all.

As a newcomer here, a greeting gift is a must.

I heard Liu Sanmu say the Nationalists purposefully leaked the news to you so that you could capture them on their behalf.

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 PM at Pier 6. Get rid of him.

This is the reply from the organization leaders. Do you have any opinions?

Who do you want me to kill first? Chen Shen?

Do you know Chen Shen's girlfriend? I don't want her to appear at the banquet tonight.

What do you want me to do?

Audition? Sure!

Episode 11 -

She said she's going to a movie audition, but she didn't specify the location. She left after picking up a phone call.

When did she leave?

Let me think. It was after I ate lunch. Maybe 12:30 PM.

Chen Shen thought to himself,

could Wu Long have done this? But the timing doesn't match up.

At 12:30, Wu Long was

on his way to Qingfeng Tea House.

If he really kidnapped Li Xiaonan,

he would have used it to personally threaten him.

Boss, what did the phone call say?

He said to bring ¥1,000 to the soap warehouse to trade for her tonight at 8 PM.

If somebody's wanting to earn big bucks, why would they come to you?

There are so many rich people in Shanghai, but you're not one of them.

Also, he only wants ¥1,000?

Wouldn't that be a waste of efforts?

Bian Tou's words reminded Chen Shen.

Is the other party really after money?

Or is there an ulterior motive?

If he goes to the soap warehouse at 8 PM,

he will miss out on Li Moqun's banquet.

Maybe the other party has no motive

but to prevent him from appearing at the banquet.

Will something happen at this banquet?

Ah Da, Ah Qing. - Here.

Only a few rickshaw drivers pass by Celebrity Movie Company.

Li Xiaonan is very close to them. They should know where she went. Go ask around.

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Mrs. Bi, your complexion doesn't very look healthy today.

Really?

A few days ago, when Chen Shen and I were outside,

a group of people started shooting at us! I was petrified!

Aiyo.

The Operations Division is attracting so much attention.

Even a minor character like Chen Shen is hunted.

Shanhai, you should be more careful.

I'm only a newbie at Operations Division. I can't compare to Team Leader Chen.

Why don't I see Chen Shen here today?

Excuse me.

Are you hungry? Eat something first.

Okay.

It's fine. I'll help you get a new one.

Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Li hopes you could help with the banquet fireworks planned for later tonight.

Okay. - This way.

Shanhai.

Shanhai. This is Boss Wang, an artisan of mahogany furniture. He's also Supervisor Li's friend.

Nice to meet you. Please take good care of me.

Nice to meet you.

The fireworks will begin at 9 PM at the front of the restaurant.

Are there any problems?

Do you see that person downstairs?

I think I see somebody, but he looks blurry.

That person is called Wu Long.

Yesterday, he traded opium with a man called Liu Sanmu at the pier.

He witnessed the assassination of Liu Sanmu, but he luckily escaped.

Now, he's waiting there to meet with Bi Zhongliang.

He knows all the details about the Nationalist Military Commission,

including that arrested six-member group of when you first arrived.

Last time at the Hunan restaurant, you saved me. I know that.

Now, I'll return the favor.

The nationalists aren't wanting to kill me. They want to kill that man downstairs.

Of course, I know that you don't want me to die.

Thus, I beg you,

for the sake of our old relationship, let me and Bi Zhongliang off the hook.

You shouldn't have come. Why did you still arrive?

Some things can't be hidden from.

We can all continue living.

Chen Shen still came.

Did he possibly find Li Xiaonan?

Or did he already guess that she kidnapped Li Xiaonan?

This is too scary. He's actually knowledgeable about everything.

If he is her enemy, Xu Bicheng thinks

that she and Tang Shanhai would have died long ago.

I delivered Miss Li here.

Okay. Thank you.

Straight flush!

Don't move, everybody!

Stay down! - Don't move!

Stay down!

Why did you guys come?

Miss Li, don't be afraid. We're here!

Chen Shen, why are you here?

I should be asking you that.

I'm here for an audition.

The director is super nice.

When I first came in, they acted as a mafia to test my acting skills and reaction.

That's right!

Miss Li has great acting skills!

Are you done talking? Stay down! - She'll surely be the female lead!

Right? I'm telling you, the director and I really hit it off.

I didn't have any scenes to film today, anyway. I was bored, so we started playing cards.

Li Xiaonan, the role you are playing must be an idiot. - Huh?

Let's go. - Where?

Go home. - Oh! Going home is great!

I'll cook soup for you. I learned a new type of soup, and it's delicious.

I'll cook it for you right away!

Team Leader Chen, have you seen my wife?

She's waiting for you on the balcony upstairs.

Thank you.

Old Tao still hasn't found that person who escaped from the pier?

Why are you asking me this?

That person is currently by the hotel's front gate, waiting to see Bi Zhongliang.

You mean, Chen Shen sent somebody to inform us of the opium trade?

Yes, it was definitely him.

He could have exposed us,

but he didn't. He's always been helping us.

I already said that we can instigate him.

Even if he helped us this time, the more he knows, the more danger we're in.

You still have to kill him?

This is the order from the organization.

No. I won't allow you to kill him.

Are you crazy? - I'm not crazy.

I can't allow you to kill a good person.

I don't think Chen Shen is simply a good person.

If he dies,

I can't continue living, either.

I'm begging you. Please don't kill him.

I'm begging you.

The traitor elimination order has already been issued.

Even if I wanted to, I can't stop Old Tao from the operation. It's too late.

Division Chief Bi.

Division Chief Bi!

Division Chief Bi!

Division Chief Bi!

Who are you? Stay there! - I have to see Division Chief Bi!

I want to see Division Chief Bi! - Don't talk.

I have something important to report.

I'm Division Chief Bi's spy. I have something important to report immediately.

What's your name?

Wu Long. Sir, please help me inform him.

It's really important. My life is at stake!

Wait here.

Stand behind the line. - Alright.

Supervisor Li, congratulations.

Congratulations.

Supervisor Li.

Hello, Supervisor Li. - Congratulations.

Hello, everyone. - Congratulations.

Hello, Supervisor Li.

Congratulations, Supervisor Li.

Congratulations, Supervisor Li. - Have fun.

Look. Isn't he just as handsome as I?

What's wrong? - Boss, you should become a fortune-teller. Somebody really is waiting for Division Chief.

His name is Wu Long. He said his life is at stake.

Is he bullying me for being ignorant?

Some people want to see the world in chaos,

so they purposefully pick events like these to make a scene.

He wouldn't stir up some trouble, right?

So many people in Operations Division are jealous of Old Bi.

They say that his merits make his higher-ups uneasy.

Think about it. If Supervisor Li hears this, he'd be unhappy.

Of course. I'll listen to your orders and quiet him down.

No matter what, we can't allow him to ruin our boss's mood.

Go. - I'm leaving.

That'll be fine.

Sir! - What are you doing?

Sir! Did you help me tell Division Chief Bi?

Division Chief Bi is busy. Wait.

Sir, my situation is very--

Wait! So talkative.

Xu Bicheng is such an unqualified agent.

From the panicked look on her face,

Chen Shen could guess every aspect of the situation.

She kidnapped Li Xiaonan.

She didn't hurt Li Xiaonan in any way

because her goal is just to stop him from arriving at the banquet.

This means that the nationalists are planning a new assassination tonight.

Wu Long's appearance helped Chen Shen reveal his bottom line.

He knows that Tang Shanhai now understands

that he helped him with this Liu Sanmu incident,

but would Tang Shanhai rein in tonight's operation

at the brink of disaster?

From Tang Shanhai's tranquil facial expressions,

Chen Shen can't find any answers. He understands Xu Bicheng too well,

but he doesn't understand Tang Shanhai at all.

We've been standing here for so long. So hungry.

Our stomachs are so empty, Bian Tou.

You're hungry? Me too.

How about I go get some food? - Sure!

Good idea!

Wait here.

What are you doing?

Team Leader Chen, people say that you're a fortune-teller.

Do you think I'll never get married?

Are you being serious?

Of course!

If a woman is beautiful, capable,

and even finds a good marriage, too many people would be jealous.
