Episode 20

Old gentleman

would you like to go have fun in our VIP room?

Am I that old?

Older than your Uncle San?

So you're Uncle San's guest!

Please hold on a minute. I'll invite him to come out right away

May I have your name, please?

Just tell him Kui is here to visit him

OK, just a minute

Place your bets

Kui!

Kui!

Bro!

Kui

do you still see me as your bro?

Why didn't you tell me when you came to the Bund?

I could have gone to pick you up!

If I had told you in advance

you would have welcomed me with a posh and exaggerated car!

One is not enough!

I would have prepared a whole fleet of Mercedes-Benz for you

lining up on the road

That's too much

Come on! Come in please!

Hold on!

What?

We need to search you

Search? Seriously?

Do you wanna die?

Do you know who he is?

He is a general of the National Revolutionary Army

How did they train you?

Yes, sir

Bro

Your rules here are quite strict!

That little brat doesn't know how to behave properly. Let's go

Here are your fried buns. Please enjoy yourselves

Thanks

Here you are! Take one more

A man should eat more

More?

I'm already so full

It's the last one

I can't even finish this last one

You can eat more than me

They're so tasty!

I haven't tried these before

I'm afraid I can't eat them when I go back

This is not the only snack in Shanghai

You can see more snacks

which taste better than these pan-fried buns

What are they?

Well, wontons stuffed with vegetables and meat

soup dumplings stuffed with crab meat, and red bean buns

They all taste good

There's so much delicious food to eat!

Then in the next few days

can you take me to eat every day?

Every day?

It depends on your performance

Stingy

Finish this first

After that, if you behave well

I'll take you to eat something else tomorrow

I'll stop here

I need to save my energy for other foods tomorrow

I came to tell you something serious

Help me find a person

He's from the Green Gang's Weiwu Hall

named Tang

And used to be a company commander

in the Peacebuilding National Army

called Tang...Tang Shubin

S, H, U, B, I, N

I got it

I guess he's just that one

with a gunshot wound

How did you know that?

At noon today

the black and white arrest warrants were released together

Black and white arrest warrants? What are they?

The white one

is made public by the government

while the black one is issued by our gangs

I see

Good

I wanna see this person first

You must find him?

Yes

In fact, it's not hard to find

a man with a gunshot wound

especially for the members of my gang

who can surely find him

Well

with these black and white warrants

who dares to harbor him?

I got an idea, Kui

We can offer a bounty

In this case

once there's any news

they'll inform us in no time

Fine by me. I'll prepare the bounty

Come on

You don't need to worry about that!

Kui, you just stay here

and don't leave

Here, just get some chips

and have fun

I guess we'll get the news soon

It counts on you, my bro

Don't mention it! Come on... Let's drink

Come on

Cheers

Cheers

Hurry up! Go!

Hurry up

General

Zhao Hengxuan arrested the entire Green Gang's Weiwu Hall

They've gotten every gang member here

I also heard there was a shootout

Let's go take a look

Hurry up!

Go! Quickly!

Hurry up

Go

Hurry up

Be quick. Go!

Go! Quickly!

General Liang, you're still up so late at night?

You're making so much noise

How can I possibly fall asleep?

I planned to

report it to you early tomorrow morning

They attempted to flee away

I had no other choice

but to arrest them all

Hurry up!

Go

Get up

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Go! Hurry up!

General Liang!

General Liang, we're innocent!

We are wronged, General Liang!

Take them away! Quickly!

We're innocent!

Go! Go!

I gotta go back to work

Go! Go!

Hurry up

Go!

What's wrong with him?

He's been like this since last night

He seems to have been wounded

I guess his gunshot wound is inflamed

Get two people here

Move him out

Tang

Tang! Tang!

Mom

Little Mao! Little Mao!

-Mom! -Little Mao

Why is this little brat following us?

-Mom! -Get him back to his cell

Yes

Sir, please

Little Mao

Mom! Mom!

-Little Mao! -Mom!

Mom!

Little Mao!

Sir, you'd better just spit it out

to avoid sufferings

What a tough man

Continue to whip him. Go on

Yes, sir

Make him suffer in pain

but don't kill him

Don't worry, I got it

Chief, Tang Shubin showed up

We caught a family at the city exit checkpoint

and the man got a gunshot wound in his back

who was exactly that Company Commander Tang

Where is he now?

In the jail

I already asked them to send him here

Don't bother

Just kill him right away

Chief, they're already on their way

How about this?

Get him here at once

Be quick

Yes, sir

Get up

Stop!

I quit

We've been playing all night, and we're still even

Kui, you must be hungry

Let's go get something to eat

Nice! Let's go somewhere to drink some baijiu

I'm still not used to this

I see

Uncle San

We got some news

We got him. Let's go

He ran away?

We let him run away again

Go find him by all means!

I've sent an order, and they're now hunting him

Catch him

Catch him and kill him right away

Kill him!

Yes, sir

Does he have any family members?

Bring his whole family here!

Yes, sir!

Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison

The warden is waiting for you

Uncle San, this way please

You're one step behind

I just received the notice

and they soon took Tang away

I tried my best but failed to stop them

Powerful men indeed

Then do you know

where this man is now?

I can ask around

I guess I can get the answer

This woman is Tang's wife

and that child is his daughter

Right, he also has a son

who's locked up in the cell over there

Tang was also imprisoned there before

Sir! Sir!

What's the rush?

Didn't you see Uncle San here?

Hello, Uncle San!

Sir!

We just got a call, saying that Tang ran away

What? What happened? Tell me the details!

Well... They didn't get it across on the phone

We only know he jumped off the car and fled

He fled away

How about this?

Sir, can you set them free first?

S-Set them free?

Use your brain to figure out a way

Since you've asked for it

there's no problem

Besides, there's nothing serious with

a woman and children

Thank you

Office of CPC Southern Bureau Zhou Residence, Chongqing

Hi, General Wu

Come on in, please

I heard you'd come

but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon

The Kuomintang-Communist cooperation matters a lot

I dare not delay

This way, please

This way

This is the material for you from the Military Commission

More bargains

about the Disarmament Plan, I guess

How many KMT troops are there?

Can we get this information?

No one knows the exact number

Reorganized two million collaborationist soldiers across the country

It's literally a mess

The Ministry of War

I think the Ministry of War knows it better

Here's your tea

Thanks

Is General Liang Tong in charge of this case?

Generally speaking

he should have a better understanding of it

But he's in Shanghai

getting into a big trouble

Do you know anything untold about what happened in Shanghai?

A huge ship of silver ingots disappeared

The Chairman didn't get mad

and didn't order a strict investigation in person, either

Then it's so weird

The Chairman wants a quick end

He doesn't wanna dig deeper into it

The tree craves calm, but the wind will not abate

Bai Chongxi's targeting Chen Cheng and the Ministry of War by this issue

Due to the post-war garrison plan of the National Army

the Guangxi Clique has lost a lot

Now they finally got a chance

to cause him a lot of trouble

In my point of view, this case is actually a trap

conspired by the seniors

That huge ship of silver was lost so easily just like this?

Those subordinate officers dared not touch it at all!

That was a huge number of silver ingots

If they were really missing, the Commandant would surely investigate it

But now, Liang Tong has been made a scapegoat

What about the silver ingots?

This is indeed a mystery

Zhou Fohai's at the helm in Shanghai

There's no way he doesn't know the truth

Zhou Fohai

Zhou Fohai contributed to the takeover

Never did I think about whether he had anything to do

with this ship of silver

You reminded me. I think

the answer is yes

This ship of silver was seized by Zhou Fohai

from the Japanese

Normally speaking, it couldn't be lost for no reason

It's highly possible that the Commandant, He Yingqin and Zhou Fohai

already knew about it

Zhou Fohai! That filthy traitor!

We'll surely get even with him for his sins one day

I'm here to say goodbye to you

Where are you going?

I'm appointed as the commander of the 86th Army

assimilating into the 10th Theater led by Li Pinxian

Li Pinxian. Then it belongs to the Guangxi Clique?

It's a mess

It consists of the core of two regiments from the Guangxi Clique

miscellaneous troops that came back home

and the reorganized collaborationist army

as well as partisans from the Shandong-Jiangsu war zone

The Guangxi Clique also sent quite a few major generals

with complicated backgrounds

They want this army, of course

For the choice of the army commander

Bai Chongxi from the Guangxi Clique kept arguing with the Commandant

They didn't agree on

each other's proposals

Even Bai Chongxi dared to defy orders?

He dared not disobey too apparently

But many subordinate officers were from the Guangxi Clique

who must follow instructions

The Commandant had to consider it

In the end, I was pushed to take up this position

Bai Chongxi didn't exclaim against it

for he was on good terms with me

Furthermore, Shandong is a good place

You know

Shandong is the main anti-Japanese base of the Communist Party

The Shandong-Jiangsu war zone's not a threat at all

which is even managed by the Northeastern Army

Both Yantai and Qingdao

are key places to control

concerning the shipping lines in the Northeast China

The strategic location of Shandong is so weighty

The Guangxi Clique is dreaming to control Shandong

Seems like Chiang is going to do something to Shandong

But Shandong is our critical chip

which plays a great role in the Kuomintang-Communist peace talks

The Chairman commanded me

to lead the 86th Army to attack Linyi

and open up the Tientsin-Pukow Railway

Mengxiang

we've learned your assignment from the intelligence system

Linyi is the capital of the Shandong Liberated Area, which matters greatly

The organization requires you

to leverage your personal influence and your power

to protect the security

of the Shandong Liberated Area as much as possible

We can't just wait and see Chiang Kai-shek weaken us

I will do my best

Good

Besides, there's another important mission for you

Go to Shanghai and try everything to get Liang Tong out of trouble

Help him out of the case of silver ingots ship as soon as possible

Liang Tong is a comrade in our party

You're his old classmate

as well as Chiang Kai-shek's sidekick

You should be able to help him

So Liang Tong is really our comrade

I got it

Finally, they are on their way back home

You should be happy for them

Each of them gets a second life

Japan should not be a country keen on force

No country

should

Wars only bring human beings death and aftermaths

Yes

But they'll face a country in ruins

Unemployment, poverty, famine

will follow them for a long time

This is a hard start

Post-war reconstruction is surely hard

None of us can hide from it

See what you have done to China

We also need to face it and reconstruct it

Asia is supposed to be peaceful and prosperous

But someone's too blind to see the truth

and keeps sticking to the past

And there are also some people taking chances

and still dreaming of the Great Japanese Empire

Masanobu Tsuji, I hope you're not like them

The Allies sent a message from Tokyo

saying that the Japanese Prince Chichibu was missing

Do you know where he is?

I don't

I really have no idea

The ship was heading for the open sea

under the command of the radio

We were arrested

before we got to know the next destination

Then at least you should know where those silver ingots

were shipped to, right?

I really don't know!

You gotta tell me more details about this case

You have no chance to flee away

Your wife and children are all controlled by them

What should we do?

I've told you everything I know

I also don't know what to do

Then your running away really had nothing to do with the Hall Master?

True!

I guess, the Hall Master was afraid of

being involved in this issue

so he wanted to flee away, too

But unexpectedly, he had already been targeted

So the Green Gang's Weiwu Hall is wronged this time

with every member being arrested!

Anyone involved in this case will be in trouble

The mastermind's quite powerful!

The Green Gang's Weiwu Hall

had existed in Shanghai for such a long time

How could they be purged so easily?

Who did it?

Yeah... Who did it?

Well, who's the mastermind?

I know who it is. I saw him

When I heard gunshots from the Weiwu Hall that day

I went there immediately

My house is only a few steps away from the Weiwu Hall

But when I reached there

they had stopped shooting

I can confirm

it was the officer by General Liang's side

who we led to dig up the corpse

Yeah

It was the one brought by General Liang!

That day, we went to meet the Hall Master in the Weiwu Hall

and saw General Liang just coming out of the hall with his underling

He also asked me something

And then, an special commissioner named Zhao

followed us to see the place where the corpse was buried

Yeah, he's called Zhao Hengxuan!

Right! It was him!

He also asked each of us some questions

He's a special takeover commissioner

sent by Chongqing National Government

called Zhao Hengxuan

Yeah! This man led people to destroy the Weiwu Hall!

He tried to murder and silence everyone

It was him!

This Zhao Hengxuan!

He wanna silence everyone!

Welcome

Xiugu, hang on for a minute

Hello, General

Where's the western restaurant?

Right over there

OK, thank you

My pleasure

Xiugu, let's go

The western restaurant is over there

It's all thanks to you this time. Thank you so much

Don't mention it!

Cheers

There they are

They're coming

I see! OK

Dad

Come on. Look

She must be Xiu!

Yeah

Xiu!

You're a grownup now!

Nice

Girl, you know what?

This is Uncle San I mentioned to you

Hello, Uncle San

Xiu, this time I will take you to have much fun

in the Bund!

If you want anything, just feel free to tell me

Yeah! Girl, you know

when you were just born

he just kept asking to be your godfather

This time, let him do his duty

Do you still remember this man

Uncle San, we've met before

Do you remember?

I was

a little platoon leader working under Mr. Zhou

You haven't changed, and still look so young

You can't remember!

You're really getting old

He's Little Tong!

Little Tong?

Yeah!

I would have recalled if you had said this name!

You're the son

of the teacher, Mr. Liang in our Elder Brothers Society, right?

Exactly

Hello

I heard you went to Japan

and then, I never saw you again

Yeah, it's been so many years

Why are you still standing to talk? Just sit down

OK! Come on, let's sit down

Take your seats

Little Tong, this is for you

If you run into any problems or difficulties

in the Bund, just come to me!

I'll surely help you solve them

Look at the back for the detail

Company Commander Tang

You found him?

I asked Uncle San

to get Company Commander Tang's wife and children out

on bail

You set them free?

Who allowed you to do so?

The prison is overcrowded

Prisoners need food every day

Besides

the woman and children didn't commit any crime

Who let you release them?

We were just one step ahead of them

Queen's Cheongsam

I hurried to Tang Shubin's house

and found this brat hiding there as expected

Uncle San and I got him out of there

and hid him somewhere safe

Xiugu

This is the most well-known Cheongsam shop in the Bund

Take your time to look around

So pretty

How's it, Xiugu?

Do you like them?

Yeah!

Lead this lady to the fitting room

Lady, this way please

Go ahead

Kui

Isn't that Yu from the BIS?

He works for Zhao Hengxuan

What on earth is Little Tong planning?

I have no idea, either

General

You... You... It was you!

You were the one who followed Zhao Hengxuan

to exchange silver ingots

You

General Liang, I can't tell you about this thing

Otherwise, I can't go back

General, I'm sorry for you

I've failed you

And I knew they were framing you

I saw it, but I couldn't tell you

Where's this ship of silver ingots?

Did you participate in the transfer?

I really have no idea where they sent those silver ingots

General

I swear on the name

of my grand master, Chen Zizheng

I truly don't know the whereabouts of those silver ingots

Zhao Hengxuan ordered to replace the silver ingots with stones

And later their warship just sailed away

I had no right to ask about it

Later, Zhao Hengxuan

sent me to help you with your investigation

Right!

What's more, I really don't know

they killed and silenced people

Transferring silver ingots and framing others is a capital offense!

General Liang, we're from two different systems

I can only obey orders from my superiors

Which one matters more? Your superiors' orders

or national interests?

Superiors' orders represent national interests

It's been our belief

Now this ship of silver ingots has apparently

been misappropriated by someone

Do you still call it the national interest?

Yu Shouren

you're so dumb!

Do you wanna be punished

or do something to atone for your sin?

Choose by yourself

General Liang, I will die no matter what

Just mull over it

Old West Gate Casino

Mrs. Tang and her children

were bailed out by Uncle San

Zhou Yingkui

This Zhou Yingkui played tricks behind our backs again

Zhou Yingkui and his daughter arrived in Shanghai yesterday

and they've been staying with Uncle San all the time

Go keep a close eye on all the places

they've been

Yes, sir

Come on, let's go meet with this Uncle San

Old West Gate Casino

Hello, Chief Zhao!

I've heard a lot about you

Hello

Chief Zhao, nice to see you again

Hello, General Zhou

Hello, Chief Zhao

Hello

Sit down, please

Did you go to the prison today?

Yeah

We were just one step too late!

It was so close!

We were just twenty minutes late,

and Company Commander Tang fled away

Did General Liang ask you to go there?

I came here this time

for I planned to buy a house with Xiugu in Nanjing

while I was soon given this task

It's all thanks to my bro's help

Well, I didn't really help

But luckily, Mrs. Tang and her children

were controlled by us

This Company Commander Tang will show up sooner or later

I don't believe

he'll turn his back on his wife and children

True!

Mrs. Tang is here?

Yes

Can I see her?

Of course!

Bring her here

Yes, sir

Come on, sit down please

Let's sit down

You may leave first

Yes, sir

Take your seat

Chief Zhao

I've been looking for a chance

to talk to you about Mrs. Yang's house in Nanjing

How much will it cost?

I've prepared the money

Mrs. Tang

When did Company Commander Tang leave?

He was taken away early in the morning

Tell me where he is now

What time was it?

A little after eight o'clock

I'll ask you one more time

Where on earth is Company Commander Tang now?

I really don't know

I've never seen him after he was taken away

Alright! You can leave now

Uncle San

You are a celebrity in the Bund

You know exactly what kind of house is worth investing in now

Chief Zhao, if you're interested in it

I can help you find some good ones

I promise you good services

Nice

Miss Xiugu

Mrs Yang's house in Nanjing

has been taken back by the government

which won't cost any money

Take this

See what kind of house can be bought with this money

You gave this to me

Then just rest assured!

Miss Xiugu

let Uncle San help you buy a house

Mrs. Yang's house in Nanjing has been legally repossessed

We can't charge you

General Zhou, let's have a drink

Oh, I almost forgot that!

Wu Mengxiang secretly brought Liang Tong

the party's instruction about the case of silver ingots ship

Liang Tong felt kind of secure

Together, they decided to break down

Yu Shouren's psychological defenses

The Chairman sent me to investigate the case of silver ingots ship

which has been defined as a serious corruption

due to the possession of national assets

If it was done by one person, he or she will be punished severely

And if it was done by a group, they'll all be arrested

Yu Shouren

let's cut to the chase

You've been working in the action squad for a long time

You must have witnessed lots of similar scenes

General Liang did plead for you

From now on

he will be your only superior

until the case of silver ingots is closed

Yes, sir

We will decide your final punishment

according to your performance

Thank you, General

Mark

let me introduce someone to you

This is General Wu Mengxiang

the Commander of the 86th Army

I know

you are Mr. Shi, Shi Jihong's son-in-law

I'm arranging to send the 86th Army to Qingdao

How do you think? Awesome, right?

He speaks in a fluent Shandong accent

You know not only China but also Shandong so well

I know everywhere

I'm impressed

I'm here this time

to learn the status quo of Shandong

OK. This way, please

The arrival of the 86th Army is a timely help

Shandong has been completely controlled by the Communist Party

In Yantai and Weihai of Shandong

the landing of U.S. warships was refused by the Communist Party

The troops of the Communist Party

have been dispatching soldiers to Southern Liaoning by sea

who all used to serve in the Northeastern Army

Only if the U.S. warships control

the sea from Shandong to Northeast China

can we cut off the maritime shipping lines of the Communist Party

This time, the major task of our 86th Army

is to open up the Tientsin-Pukow Railway

control the situation in Shandong

and cut off the Communist Party's marching route toward Northeast China

The troops selected by Yan'an to march into Northeast China

are all from former Northeastern Army

Holy cow! It's even harder to get Shandong

General Wu Mengxiang

it all counts on your 86th Army now

I'm afraid the 86th Army alone is not enough

The war clouds there will be expanding

Lieutenant Colonel Mark, we hope you can

increase the amount of air and marine transportation

I will try my best

Let me arrange to send your 86th Army

to Qingdao first

Thank you

General Mark, we need your help

Come over, please

Excuse me

Your 86th Army was just formed

That's a lot of pressure

It can never be easy to grab things from the Communist Party

Shandong is their old base

Tong, if anything happens

to the case of silver ingots ship again

I'm afraid there's little I can do to help you

They're trying to finish you

Be cautious

I'm now gathering evidence from all sides

I do have a witness

Not a witness!

The testimony can be changed

If we can't get those silver ingots back

a fait accompli is what matters the most

The Ministry of War has been convicted of a crime

Then we need another fait accompli

Liang Tong's intuition told him

Wu Mengxiang is more than just his classmate

There is a deeper connection

Alright, I'll go back first

Let me see you off

Lieutenant Colonel Mark

thank you for your hard work

Why are we here?

Isn't it where

that Russian woman lives?

It's yours from now on
