Rookie Agent Rouge

Episode 5

I heard from an old friend who's working in the garrison headquarters,

the heavy artillery regiment are moving in the direction towards Hongkou district.

Is the information reliable?

Yes. The movement of the heavy artillery regiment is top secret.

They take action every night.

Whenever they reach a place, they'll set up camouflage net and before sunrise,

it will be finished. So, no one finds out about it.

How does your old friend know?

His team had a special mission yesterday

to guard the heavy artillery regiment.

No wonder. Today the heavy artillery regiment

went to the army supplies department to request for camouflage net.

The heavy artillery regiment which has been all along situated in Nanjing, is an asset of Old Jiang.

Now they are also transferring to Shanghai.

Yan Zhi.

The spy game we played on the cruise last time

was really fun.

The next time we have a chance, let's play it again.

Where would we find time for that? The people are so afraid right now.

You have such strong listening skills and memory.

You are so talented. It'll be such a shame if you don't use it for the country.

What is it? You pricked yourself?

It's okay, I only need to put some medicine on it. -I'll go get it for you!

No, I can go myself.

It's in the living room downstairs, the 2nd drawer of the closet on the left.

I know.

9 Character. (a Mahjong terminology)

Accept. (Pong-a Mahjong terminology)

Let your old friend ask around again where is the heavy artillery regiment's destination.

This is difficult. Heavy artillery regiment's movement is secretive.

The personnel for the guards are different everyday.

The shift changes every two hours.

This sounds more fishy.

I'm afraid...only the highest ranking leader knows this best.

Are you saying it's Nanjing Military Commission?

Brother Zi Xiong, I heard you have a trump card.

If you take it out,

you can discover any secret!

Winning tile!

Nicely done!

Pay up!

Shadow is my wild card

But I can only take out the trump card at the most crucial moment.

Old Bai, Hongkou District is under your control

Take all of your men there

In the shortest time, they must

know the whereabouts of the heavy artillery regiment.

Okay. Don't worry, Brother Zi Xiong.

Who's there?

It's me.

Man Na!

Please have a seat first. Commander is taking care of some family matters. Please wait a while.

I understand.

What are you doing outside so late?

I...I went to the kitchen. Mother Liu said there was a midnight snack.

If you want to eat it, Mother Liu will send it up to you.

Don't run around outside at night anymore.

Dad! I am at my own home.

How can you call it "running around outside"?

Do you have a secret or something?

Child, what are you saying?

Old Master, Madam. Come have some midnight snacks.

You're getting more rebellious.

Man Na, where are you going?

Going back to my room, didn't you say Mother Liu will take it upstairs for me?

Take this to the guests. -Yes, Madam.

In the future, if there are no exigent circumstances, we cannot meet at home.

Let's end here today. From now on, have Deputy Liu contact them.

Where did you go? This is filled with sesame paste, it's especially fragrant.

Come and try!

Hurry over! It's going to get cold.

Okay.

Zi Xiong.

What are you thinking about?

I didn't say this in front of Jialun and Old Bai.

I got news this afternoon.

The Military Commission has decided to come to Shanghai.

They'll be having an urgent military meeting.

All officers from the General Staff Department will be here from Nanjing.

So Shadow is also coming to Shanghai?

After he arrives, he will take the initiative to contact me.

Who is it?

It's me.

Manna, it's so late. Is something wrong?

It's nothing.

I just wanted to come talk with you two.

Come and sit.

Manna, didn't you want to talk with us?

Go ahead.

I know...you studied abroad in Japan before.

You must have many Japanese classmates and friends.

Now, Japan and China are going to war. If...

I'm saying if!

If you meet your old friends and classmates,

what would you do, Dad?

Are you worried

that because of my friends and classmates,

I would forget the meaning of national cause?

I won't do that.

If you have no connection with the Japanese, then I'm at ease.

Also..

When I see Uncle Bai and Uncle Jialun,

I feel like those people are weird. Don't you think so, Dad?

Manna, earlier in the living room

did you hear something?

We weren't really talking about anything.

Just the whole situation.

Manna. You are still young. There are some things you don't understand.

I know Japan very well. If this war really breaks out,

China will suffer terribly.

Dad! You just said you will not forget the whole picture!

For the sake of national cause and nationalism,

Not just fighting war,

if there were other ways to obtain peace, wouldn't that be better?

Yes, Manna. You'll understand slowly in the future.

You only need to remember, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what we do,

it's all for your good.

Zi Xiong. Just tell Manna what we're doing.

She's our biological daughter.

We definitely cannot. Manna is so innocent.

She is full of nationalism right now

If she finds out that we are working for the Japanese

something terrible will occur.

If she keeps watching us, wouldn't this secret eventually...

Isn't Ying Zi coming over to Shanghai? Let them make some contact.

Girls, once they fall in love, nothing else is important.

Feng Residence

What are you doing so early in the morning?

I'm cleaning my ears.

You can do that in the bedroom

It was just convenient after I used the toilet

You went to the bathroom for so long.

How comfortable... -You're using this white paper to clean your ears?

This is the wrapper.

Feng wants to know the final destination of the heavy artillery regiment.

In Nanjing Military Commision, Feng has

a mole working there using the codename Ying Zi.

Manna is suspicious towards me. With their eyes on me, I can't leave now.

Not good! Yanzhi might be exposed!

Hang the signal out. Have her stop all actions and avoid contacting us.

Yes!

20% off papayas.

20% off papayas.

If a red flag is hung out, that means all communication must temporarily stop.

You must stop all action and wait for new directions.

When we mention the Japanese soldiers, you have to act especially angry!

That's right!

We cannot smile! Then, you have to start coughing!

When she coughs to this point,

"This is my daughter."

We escaped to here after Manchuria fell to the Japanese.

"We are hungry." After I get the money, you start singing the next line.

I can't keep singing! -You can't sing anymore?

You useless thing! Sing!

Sing for me!

You useless thing!

What are you doing? Don't fight!

Get up, get up! -What is it, Mother Liu?

Mother Liu, we're practicing our play!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Miss, your letter.

The Madam took the stamp.

You can leave.

Oh oh oh, who wrote this letter?

Look at her shy expression. It must be her boyfriend.

When can we see him?

You can meet him after he passes my test.

Hey! Then are we not practicing anymore?

What did Ying Zi say?

The heavy artillery regiment is preparing to attack the Japanese naval command fleet, Izumo.

This news from Ying Zi just so prompt.

Once Songhu is in the line of fire, the national army will definitely send out her airplanes and naval fleet (Songhu is another name for Shanghai)

to attack aggressively again Izumo naval fleet.

Izumo naval fleet is the main force of the Japanese Imperial Army. If it's destroyed,

the consequences will be serious.

Zi Xiong. Hurry and send the news to Qing Mu.

No rush. There is an another matter.

Shadow says he has someone useful for us.

His information is on this stamp.

Didn't you say that Ying Zi works alone?

He's just thinking for his own good. If we can drag this person in,

this means that he'll have another helper in the military commission.
