Sparrow

This is the secret location of the different sub-branches

of the Nationalist Shanghai Division and their code names.

Have you found a new hiding place? - It was Su Sanxing who helped me find it.

Nice to meet you, Division Chief Bi.

I need you to cover me. The Hurricane Squad must not get in trouble anymore.

Immediately go arrest the Hurricane Squad members. Don't let anyone escape.

Could there be other members of the Hurricane Squad that have seen this Rehmannia?

Other than that Tao guy, who else recognizes you?

There's two more. They were already transferred.

You must not panic and expose yourself.

I'm fine. I'm just afraid of Bicheng getting embroiled in this.

Episode 23

At that moment, she suddenly was no longer jealous.

She even feels admiration for her

because she will never be able to be like her love rival,

calmly telling the man in her heart

that she loves him.

Ever since your brother-in-law and nephew were killed by the Japanese,

I've been living with a hollow heart. I don't even know what I should do.

Only thinking about you makes me feel alive.

I need to watch you kill the Japanese to help me take revenge for my child and husband.

I also need to watch you get married and have children

and continue the line of descendants for our Su family.

Sanxing, how high of an office do you hold now?

Tell me. That way, I can go show off once I return to our hometown.

Why are you going back?

Of course I need to go back!

That's how all the play plots go. The high officials

all need a g-glorious homecoming.

Even if I tell you, you won't remember. We can wait until you actually return.

Fine, fine. This time, you arranged for such a fancy car to pick me up.

In front of our fellow villagers, I was in the limelight!

When I married your brother-in-law,

we were so poor that we didn't even have a palanquin for the wedding ceremony.

Who would have thought that I'd be able to ride on a foreign car?! You can go hundreds of kilometers within a night.

I think that I was even more imposing than our county magistrate.

Sister,

it's getting late. I'm going to sleep. We can talk tomorrow.

It's so early. How could you fall asleep? Let's chat a little more.

Sister, our future days are long.

We can talk slowly. - Fine.

Tomorrow, you must take me to the market.

I don't know the route. If you take me there once, I can find the way home.

Okay. What else?

I don't know if Shanghai vegetables are expensive.

The money I brought with me wasn't enough.

Take these first. I'll just give you more when I get my salary in a few days.

Okay.

Older sister, I'll go to sleep now.

Never thought that you would fetch my older sister this fast.

I am really overwhelmed by this unexpected favor. Really thank you.

If you want others to work for you,

you must take care of other people's extraneous worries.

I do still understand that military strategy of Dai Li where he completely annihilates

the clans of his enemies.

Indeed. Those people are able to do anything.

I was even worried

that when Chongqing can't do anything about me, they might trouble my family.

But now, there are no more worries.

Do your job well.

Zhongliang from Special Operations is just a little...too focused on achievement.

But he indeed has the ability to do things.

What am I worried now?

Tell me. We still haven't find the Sparrow of the communist rebels.

But now, a Rehmannia from the Nationalist Government has suddenly emerged.

It's easy to avoid the open attacks but not the covert ones.

If the internal spy isn't eliminated, I fear that a huge disaster might happen.

You know that the most.

I am willing to go through fire and water

to repay my debt of gratitude for your help and encouragement.

To tell you the truth,

I have always felt that Sparrow and Rehmannia

are just inside the Special Operations Division of Bi Zhongliang.

If you have any instructions, you can just say it.

If these two people are hiding inside the Special Operations Division,

then Bi Zhongliang has to face a huge responsibility for it.

I'm worried about him.

I understand.

It's already past the time. There will be no news anymore.

Zeng Shu has surrendered so the codes have been decoded already.

At this time, it is actually safer that the organization didn't send us any information.

When will Old Tao return from Chongqing?

It should be soon. He has already left for twenty plus days.

The organization needs people if they want to rebuild the Nationalist Shanghai Division.

Without people, Old Tao will also be unable to do anything even if he comes back.

Then us...will just continue waiting like this?

Didn't you tell me before that Chen Shen is willing to look for the top secret plan for you?

That seemed to be what he meant.

But he still hasn't made a concrete action yet,

before Su Sanxing's matter happened.

You can go ask Chen Shen again and see if he has any ideas.

Okay. I will.

Bicheng.

Right now, we have to pretend.

Tang Shanhai doesn't really think that Chen Shen will deliberately take risk

to help Xu Bicheng look for the top secret plan.

In Tang Shanhai's opinion, with Chen Shen's shrewdness,

even if he still loves Xu Bicheng,

he will not gamble his own life for her.

This kind of proactive act is more like Chen Shen using Xu Bicheng.

The most likely possibility is that Chen Shen is Sparrow.

He also is looking for the top secret plan. He can then

be a golden oriole waiting at the back while the mantis catches the cicada.

Ah Si has become more and more obedient.

Right now, I only have the ability to train a dog.

Who else is not under your control now?

There are so many people coming in and out of this division.

I don't even know what they're doing.

Say, as a division chief,

what damn thing am I?

Are you talking about Su Sanxing?

This guys is pretty mysterious. What did you order him to do?

Can I possibly order him around?

He's currently Li Moqun's chosen envoy on a secret mission.

I have no right to ask.

If you want to know what he's doing, it's easy.

Li Moqun has disliked him since long ago.

He's purposefully placing a man here to bully me.

With Su Sanxing's skills, what can he even find?

He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick.

Instead, I think we should let him continue investigating.

What do you mean?

Let him investigate first.

You must make him think he's onto something,

and then set up an ambush for him.

What ideas do you have?

If we want him to continue investigating, we must betray you first.

I think I'd sooner or later die in your hands. It's true.

It depends on what price other people place on you.

If you give me enough money, there's no reason for me to turn on you, right?

If you take care of this matter,

I can forget all that you owe me. You don't need to repay me.

I never had the intention of repaying you!

You rascal.

Ah Qiang. - Team Leader, you're back.

What's the date today? - Today's the 10th.

The 10th?

Isn't the 10th our payday?

Where do I go to get my monthly wage?

Team Leader, this morning, I originally wanted to get your wage for you,

but... - What's wrong?

The people at General Affairs said your attendance this month was low,

and once they take off those deductions, you have no wage to receive.

You can go now. - Okay.

Team Leader, here's your tea.

Hello, Supervisor Li? I'm Sanxing.

Arrange for a fake surrenderer to Su Sanxing

with the crime of stealing a secret document.

What do you think?

I really think you should become a barberer.

Keeping you by my side will eventually cost me.

In history, once a new emperor ascends the throne,

the former court subjects end up with ill luck.

If you give the word, I'll eventually become a barberer.

How do you know that Tang Shanhai will listen to you?

When Tang Shanhai came, he only brought us six, lame Nationalists.

After Su Sanxing's arrival,

everyone feels embarrassed.

I can promise that he'll be willing to be our microphone.

Sure. That's what we'll do.

Then, what's currently the top secret document in our Division?

The "Return to Zero" plan.

Wang Wei and the Japanese formed a secret base.

The special agents trained from this base will be then sent into the Communist and Nationalist military forces.

They will deeply implant themselves and destroy our parties from within.

Once their conspiracy succeeds, it'll cause great damage.

We don't know the code name of this plan yet.

Chen Shen finally understands that the Japaneses' secret intelligence

is Return to Zero.

Starting now, Chen Shen's most important target

is undoubtedly this plan.

Has a newbie called Su Sanxing come here recently?

I've seen him before. He's close to Li Moqun. Boss Hua also treats him well.

The next time he comes, keep a close eye on him.

I want to know what he's asking of Boss Hua.

Understood.

Okay, Supervisor Li.

Yes.

Exactly, Supervisor Li. In the future, if you ask Sanxing to run an errand for you,

tell Sanxing to inform me beforehand.

Alright, Supervisor Li. Yes, yes.

Great, Supervisor. See you later.

Sanxing.

You've finally graced me with your presence.

Come sit. Hurry.

Division Chief, what did you need?

Tea or alcohol?

No need. I need to leave soon. Don't bother.

Going to run errands for Supervisor Li again?

Yes. Lately, Supervisor Li needs me to help him with a few minor tasks.

I was too busy,

so I didn't have time to report it to you in detail.

Please be magnanimous, Division Chief,

and don't blame me.

If you say that again, I'll be unhappy.

Sit.

Sanxing,

of all the people at the Operations Division,
