The Japanese was able to get a latest model of telegraph detector vans.

Once they were able to detect the telegraph message that you sent,

they only need one minute and they can locate where the message was sent.

Division Chief has a secret mission for you.

One foot has already stepped into my trap.

I don't believe that they can still get out.

We now have the latest National Government code book.

Two 'Return to Zero' plans. It's hard determine which one is true and which one is not.

We've all been fooled by Chen Shen.

He had a copy of Liu Meina's key all along.

At the same time he was helping us, he actually was using us.

He really is a member of the Communist Organization?

Episode 36

The person who gave me the information personally guaranteed that it's true.

But at this present times, it's really hard to determine a person's thoughts.

I also can't fully guarantee that this information is real.

But since we've learned of this news,

we should at least give it some attention, right?

Supervisor, how do you want me to handle it? Just give me the instructions.

It's better to believe that there is something than nothing, right?

What if it is a trap?

So what if it is a trap? Afraid already?

Bringing with you 70 to 80% of our men, I don't believe

that the Nationalist Government can eat you all up.

Division Chief Chen, the Shanghai Branch of the Nationalist Government has just been recently eliminated by us. I don't believe

that it will be able to reassign so many people immediately to here.

Maybe this time, we will be able to catch a big fish.

Catching Rehmannia alive will be a huge achievement for you.

I will surely do as Supervisor orders.

How about this then? Tonight, let us let Secretary Qian lead us the way. How about it?

Tonight, I still have to go to Nanjing to report some work to Premier Wang.

I won't be able to oversee the operations of the division then.

But I hope that I will be able to hear the result from both of you tomorrow when I come back.

Supervisor, don't worry. Just wait for our good news.

Okay.

Take care, Supervisor.

Supervisor, take care!

Have a safe trip, Supervisor!

Team 2 Office

Then it means he has taken the bait?

If you want to make someone take the bait, you must be able to touch his innermost desire.

Secretary Qian has been a good-for-nothing by Old Bi side for so long.

He surely will want to use this chance to turn his life around and look for a new master.

How can he not take the bait?

What is your desire then?

You are not planning to harm me, right?

What is your desire?

We staring at each other like this feels so weird.

You want to send the information out.

Maybe it's by tonight.

How about you? Have you sent it out already?

No matter how careful you are, you are bound to overlook something. I keep feeling

that Old Bi won't be easily defeated just like this.

I also have thought of that before. Us always being suspicious seems to be an occupational illness already.

Being careful can make you drive a ship for thousands of years.

It's an information gotten by Secretary Qian?

Right.

Supervisor Li already sent Chen Shen to lead tonight's operation.

Chen Shen more likely will send

most of our men to Jiading.

I really want to see if that Rehmannia will appear tonight.

But how come I feel that this is just a distraction strategy?

I am Su Sanxing.

Team Leader Su, are you on night duty today?

Oh, Team Leader Chen, oh, wrong...

it should be Division Chief Chen. That's right.

I am the one on duty tonight.

Okay. I want to get twenty people from your team.

Get people?

Right. There's an important mission.

Okay. No problem.

I will completely listen to Division Chief Chen's assignments.

Why must we agree with him?

If this is his distraction strategy, what would we do now that I have no one in my team?

Team Leader Su,

as long as we report this to Division Chief and General Kagesa,

the whole Kempetai can be mobilized by us.

Those 20 people of yours can be given to him.

Sister Lanzhi, don't panic anymore. Chen Shen has already said

that there surely will be a way to get Division Chief Bi out of there.

You really can know a person, his face, but not his heart.

Only when you get in trouble

will you really see who are the people that treats you well.

I really have seen it clearly these past days.

Everyone seems to have discussed it among themselves.

Everyone is avoiding me.

They all say that they can't do anything if it's the Japanese.

It's exactly because I know that there's no way that's why I was begging them.

Do you know that only you and Chen Shen will even come to visit me?

Everyone is avoiding me like they are avoiding a plague.

They won't even see me anymore.

Sister Lanzhi,

isn't that great? Use this chance to clearly see what kind of person they are.

When Division Chief Bi comes out, teach them a lesson.

- It must be Maid Liu returning from the market. - Let me do it.

Don't go anymore. Your foot injury hasn't fully recovered yet.

It's fine. This injury is just an act for Chen Shen.

Let him feel guilty a little. It's really fine.

- How come it's you? - Don't you have anything to do? Why are you here?

Division Chief got in trouble so why didn't you even tell me about it?

I didn't tell you but didn't you also know about it? Where's my sister-in-law?

She's currently inside panicking.

Chen Shen! When can Zhongliang return?

This I still don't know yet.

But I want to take you to see him today.

Can we see him? I asked so many people but they all say that it's hard to get inside Service Office Mei.

I went to have my fortune checked.

Today is an auspicious day. We most likely will be able to see him.

And you even say that I'm superstitious. You are the one who is.

Sister-in-law, when we see General Kagesa later, you must not cry.

I know.

You are Old Bi's wife. Old Bi is the most capable person in the Special Operations Division.

You must not destroy his mighty reputation.

That's right.

Our Old Bi has always been loyal and diligent in serving the Japanese.

How could they treat him like this?

That's more like it.

General Kagesa can see you two now. Please come in.

Thank you. Sister-in-law...

You said that the intelligence was provided by Secretary Qian?

Correct.

Could this Secretary Qian have also been instigated to deflect by Tang Shanhai?

That day, it was him who went to search Tang Shanhai's house.

If he has already deflected, it's not surprising for him to fabricate an alibi for Tang Shanhai.

Then based on what you are saying, this big catch tonight

was in reality to make Chen Shen

and majority of the people in the division to be sent somewhere else so it can be easier for Tang Shanhai to make his moves.

That's a possibility.

Okay.

I am not afraid of any of his plots.

What I am afraid of is he not doing anything. Very good.

Mr. Bi,

General Kagesa wanted me to tell you that your wife and Chen Shen are here and they might requiest to see you.

You two immediately leave and must not let Chen Shen see you.

Yes.

He's here.

General Kagesa.

This must be Mrs. Bi.

I have let you two wait long. Please sit down.

I heard that you two are here to visit Bi Zhongliang?

Yes, General Kagesa.

I won't blame Mrs. Bi for not knowing the rules here at Service Office Mei.

But Chen Shen, you surely know about it.

Service Office Mei will not accept any pleading

and anything that can affect the interrogation.

Unless you two have a reason that can convince me to let you two see Bi Zhongliang.

Of course, I dare not challenge the rules of Service Office Mei.

That's why, I want to chat about faith with General Kagesa today.

Faith?

I know that the highest faith among you Japanese is to loyally serve your emperor. While in us here in China,

it doesn't matter who you put your faith in, it just boils down to one word, loyalty.

Although Old Bi can be suspected of negligence in his duty, he surely didn't went against loyalty.

In our culture,

a person's moral character and manner of actions can determine if he is able to be loyal or not.

The 'Three Character Scriptures' that our children memorize has this one statement, "First filial and brotherly love, second look and listen."

What it means is you must first learn how to be filial to your elders,

care and love your siblings, learn the principles of life,

before you can be worthy of learning knowledge and achieving grand ambitions.

Old Bi is very caring and loyal to his wife. Towards me, his brother, he shows much concerns.

Towards the Special Agents Central Headquarters and to the Service Office Mei, he was very loyal.

A person like him is considered a hero in our culture.

Even if he ended up in prison today, he still is worthy to be admired and respected.

You can really talk.

I'm done talking. General Kagesa said earlier that you need a reason.

This is then the reason I'm giving General. Please temporarily let go of politics,

and allow us, a brother and a wife

asking to see our family.

Please, General Kagesa.

Zhongliang! Zhongliang!

Did they torture you? Did you get hurt?

How come you ended up here? What really have happened?

Do you know that for these past days, I can't even sleep.

I also can't eat. What has happened to you?

I am not a traitor so why would they torture me?

I am instead worried about you.

While I'm not home, you are unable to eat or sleep.

Am I right? Alright, don't cry anymore.

Look at you.

Your beard is untrimmed and your hair is so messy.

You look like you've aged quite a lot.

Aren't all single men without a woman to care for them all like this?

You two are being too fond of each other because of the short separation. I'll go out first to leave you two alone.

Stop right there.

Go and get me some water. I'm going to wash my face and clean my hair.

You indeed need to clean it already.

Good thing, you have a brother that's eloquent.

He used statements that were hard to refute to finally make General Kagesa allow us to see you.

In these past days, I don't know how many people I've begged already.

But in the end, what's the use? None of them was dependable.

I know that the current society is just like this.

Good thing there are still Chen Shen and Xiaonan. They can still come over to accompany me and urge me.

Or else, I really don't know how I would have survived these past days.

It's fine. Don't worry.

How many years have you not cut my hair?

This must be the first time since we came to Shanghai.

Look, Lanzhi, having a skill is really great.

How about when I get out, let's just fund Chen Shen to open up a barber shop?

Then let's just depend on him to support us.
