You know what I mean?

Got it

This switch is crucial

There's no room for mistake

General, don't worry

Everyone, get ready

On my signal

Yes

Let's show them what we've got

General

Minister Zeng called to inform us that

his ship is at the center of the river

He told us to meet them now

Ready to sail

Yes

Set sail now

You have nine lives

I was so worried

As always

Mr. Luo

I have heard so much about you!

Nice to meet you

I will tell the captain

to turn around

and head to Chongqing

General

Sorry about that I can't protect you anymore

I have tried my best

No

No! No! No!

It's not my time to die

Not yet

A battle is expecting me

around the corner

An earth-shattering battle

is expecting me!

Great sunrise

Someone is keeping a close watch on me

We must abandon the mailbox and find another way to contact

How about

the business of Armaments Department?

We have already got some

BIS procurement from Minister Zeng

Great

Zeng Guangxi is a perfect cover

You can visit me at Armaments Department

and no one will suspect a thing

Chongqing is arranging peace talks with the Japanese

Liao Bin has already gone to Japan

Is that reliable?

Yes

OK. I will report to my superiors right away

Tong

Tong

Emi Nakayama, whose Chinese name is He Meihui

vanished in 1933

Later in the same year, Melanie showed up in the U.S.

She doesn't remember

anything before 1933

Uncanny coincidence

We are suspecting

that Melanie is He Meihui, but lost her memory

Your superior is worried about your safety

I should go now

Good morning, Minister

Morning

Good morning

You got up so early

What are you looking at?

I'm enjoying

the splendid scenery

Splendid, indeed

I should've gotten up earlier

1933 Shanghai

Operation

Working System

Is that Jimin Hospital?

This is the police station

You received a woman with a gunshot wound

with a gunshot wound last night

How is she doing now?

She's dead

He Meihui's death

put Liang Tong in great distress

He couldn't even see her face for one last time

A woman died from the gunshot wound

will surely draw attention

from the concession police station

Kuomintang intelligence agents killed her

and they will continue to

search for her possible contacts

Shouren

We're safe in Chongqing

You should go back to your family

General

the Chief asked me to keep guard over you

I'm worried

the bastard Masanobu Tsuji

will try to hurt you again

It should be fine

Don't worry about me

Just go home

OK

I'll get someone to cover my shift

Then I'll go home

OK

General, look out for yourself

Mom

Tong

Are you staying up late

to wait for me?

You're right

Are you hungry?

I'll fix you something to eat

It's fine

I have finished dinner

Son

I have a word for you

You should talk to Suya more

She's been coming home very late

What's going on?

She just said she was busy

but she wasn't like that before

I'm worried

You need to talk to her

OK. I got it

It's quite late. You should go to sleep

One more thing

Get Mr. Zhou out as soon as possible

He can't stay in there forever

Don't worry

I've made progress with that

Good

Talk to her nicely

Don't yell at her

I won't

Good night

Mom, please get my luggage

OK

When did you come home?

A few minutes ago

You must be exhausted

I'm fine

Have you been busy at school?

I have some news

I signed up for a book club

We read books and studied in groups

I have something to show you

New books published in the last two years

Under the Same Roof in Chongqing Xu Changlin

Under the Same Roof in Chongqing

There's one more

This one is my favorite

One Month in Yan'an Zhao Chaogou Xinmin Po Literary Series

One Month in Yan'an

Let me read you a part

Listen

All female comrades

no longer show femininity

When they discuss the party and the nation

nothing could distract them

They are more serious than us men

Romantic relationship and marriage

are inevitable in a woman's life

but they seemed to be avoiding such topics

let alone matters like

cosmetics, garments, and fashion trends

It is quite novel, right?

It's a collection of the interviews in Yan'an last year

It was serialized on Xinmin Po

When was this book published?

Not long ago

It has been republished three times

Everyone is reading it. It's quite a stir

Suya

it takes guts

to publish a book like this one in Chongqing

I think

it's going to be banned soon

Chiang Kai-shek's Residence at Lin Park, Chongqing

Stop peace talks, and get Liao Bin back immediately. Chiang Chung-cheng

Stop peace talks

and get Liao Bin back immediately

Peace talks have been exposed

Madame Chiang got a secret message

If the peace talks don't get stopped right now

they will expose that Liao Bin went to Japan

to attend peace talks on behalf of Chiang

Chairman and Madame decided

to abandon the peace talks

It's a threat

It surely is

If they expose the news

it will backfire on us

I'm only aware of

the peace talks just now

How did the secret get out so soon?

I'll look into that

Chairman suggested

all ongoing arrangements should be stopped

as if

nothing has ever happened

I trust you

You know how to deal with it

Please tell Chairman

I understand him well

He should rest assured

When Zeng Guangxi read the confidential letter from Chiang Kai-shek

Masanobu Tsuji's warning occurred to him

Could it be that Liang Tong

found out something about peace talks?

Did he really go for a brunch

on the morning he disappeared?

Zeng Guangxi has already been suspicious of Liang Tong

Once again, he feels

his old friend is not as simple as he seems

Clean up this place

Don't leave anything behind

Get all the papers on the desk

and give them to me

Shanghai Japanese Military Airport

Prince

Prince

Prince!

Your Royal Highness

it's my honor to meet you again

I came to Shanghai in secret

also for meeting you

I have an important task for you

At your command

What happened to your head?

Just a scratch. No big deal

For a long time to come

we'll have to put our swords away

and use brains instead

His Majesty approved my Golden Lily Operation

It's been running for a while

It's also the reason why I came to you

I want you to work for me

What can I do for you?

Golden Lily is a top secret

Only His Majesty, you and I knew it

If the Empire loses the war

we need to be well-prepared for a comeback

We're going to hide the treasure we acquired in Asia

and part of the treasure from the homeland

to a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean

Then, we'll wait for our nation's rejuvenation

That's the Golden Lily Operation

Does that mean

His Majesty agreed

we should prepare for the worst?

You are now an important part of this operation

The doom to the Empire

I can't accept it

We can't turn things around in China

Even our homeland is at risk

At present

Golden Lily Operation

is our last chance

Those bastards!

Despicable, ignorant pricks!

We had bad news from Chongqing

The Japanese radio station Zeng Guangxi promised to protect was destroyed

Chongqing destroyed all evidence related to the peace talks

All relevant people were erased

Chongqing Military Affairs Commission of the National Government

Minister

Has Liang Tong come to work?

General Liang came to the office early in the morning

Respect and obedience are essential to duty Diligence and thrift are essential to contribution

What's wrong with you?

Are you out of your mind?

I didn't hear your knocking

So what?

It was open anyway

What are you doing?

Busy with the NRA garrison plan

It's killing me

I gave Zhou Yingkui's files to Wu Mengxiang

Did Commandant take a look?

I don't think he did

otherwise Zhou should have been released already

I did everything on my part

Thanks

I don't want thanks

I want the good stuff, your tea

Don't be a jerk

All I've got is water

The camera

is such a work of art

The films I gave you, are they good?

The films you gave me

are different from the others

Amazing

Good to know

Look at me

You're such a troublemaker

The archive keeps a log of the films

The number is recorded

Give me that

How many pictures are on a roll of film?

Twenty-five

Don't worry

I'll get you new ones if they run out

I'm counting on you

The National Army garrison plan

is almost finished

I should get myself transferred

Many people won't be happy about my work

Good idea

You should come to BIS

I told you

You are the best

strategic intelligence agent

The best of the best

Don't mess with me

I'm serious

The last agent that impressed me so much

was Gu Shunzhang

the communist who defected to us more than a decade ago

You know what?

When Gu began to work for CBIS

they were thrilled to have him

He helped them accomplish so many missions

They even started a training project

and developed a lot of outstanding agents

You won't believe

how envious I was

I begged Commandant several times

to get Gu seconded to us

I'm telling you

I learned a lot

from Gu Shunzhang

I want you to know that

you impress me as much as he did

and you're different from him

because you are excellent at strategic thinking

You've got me

floating on air now

The higher you got me, the messier it will be when I fall

I prefer being a soldier

to working as a spy

Being a spy means

dealing with lies, betrayals

and traps for a lifetime

A spy's life story never has a good ending

It's a taxing job

You should look out for yourself

Wish I hadn't wasted my time on you

Here comes the serious business

I know I can't poach you

but I'm asking you a favor

A one-time-only spy job

I knew you were up to something

Tell me. Time to return the favor

Take a look

I think you're familiar with her

She's Melanie, the assistant of the U.S. ambassador

In 1933, she went to study in the U.S.

There was no record about

her life before 1933

We can't find anything

about her life here

before 1933

Isn't that weird?

You're interested, right?

Why should that interest me?

It's you being interested

Wrong

This woman is interested in you

What?

Why?

Her husband

is dead

He used to work as

the special assistant to the UK Chief of Staff

She takes an interest in men like him

Am I one of those guys?

Are you telling me you're not?

Melanie should be in Shanghai

before 1933

Gu Shunzhang was hosting

a training project for BIS

The agents practiced in teams

and worked some cases

And Wang Musen's team

was in charge of a case related to her

In 1933

the Communist Party Central Committee was about to

retreat from Shanghai

His team caught

two important members

but the contact got away

A woman

She looks just like her

How about these two caught?

That's a sad story

They were executed by us

When the Japanese army took Shanghai

No. 76 convinced Wang Musen to turn against us

We assassinated him a few years ago

We know her name is He Meihui

She never shows up since then

She just vanished

Tell me

what do you want me to do?

You established

a bond with Lady Melanie

in London

and Calcutta

It's only natural

for you to clear up

her mystery

Get her the proper treatment

For her memory loss?

Yes

Right here?

Yes

As long as we can prove she is He Meihui

everything will be clear

Minister

It's fresh tea

Please have a try

How is it?

I have a task for you

and it must stay between us

I will try my best to do it

You don't have to do it yourself

Get someone to do it

Who?

Zhang Majiang, No. 76's contact in Chongqing

Get him

That's easy

They helped us in contacting Zhou Fohai

You contact him, not the other way around

Yes

Ask him

to tail

Liang Tong

Tail General Liang?

I got it

Are you not curious about the reason?

Minister

I don't need to know the reason for an operation

My duty is to follow orders

But you should know the reason for this operation

so you can better execute it

Liang Tong is going to be promoted

Considering his experience, achievements, and contacts

I won't stop it

but I have some doubts about him

One thing that puzzles me the most

Why could a person with memory loss

recognize him on foreign soil?

Melanie already explained that

she found a list with his name on it

and was impressed by General Liang's achievements

I don't buy her story

Melanie works at the consulate

It won't be strange if she knows the Chinese ambassador

counselor, and diplomats

not a soldier

You're right, Minister

I never thought of that

General Liang did win

a lot of battles

Yes, he did

His military contributions are undeniable

What interests me

is the secret behind his medals

Could it be a coincidence?

Coincidence?

A person who lost her memories

somehow kept track of another person

managed to approach him physically

and told him a secret

What makes you think

I'll accept that it was the coincidence?

Sometimes

there isn't a logical explanation for coincidences

I have an explanation

to make the coincidences logical

Listen

Before Melanie lost her memories

Liang Tong was

the most important person to her

If that's the case, the coincidences will make sense

Maybe

Maybe

It's only a possible explanation now

My explanation lacks medical foundations

There are many kinds of memory loss

They are both in

very conspicuous positions

We must tread lightly

You hit a good point

This job is sometimes depressing

because we have to justify

each casual action of those in prominent roles

That's why we're always running around

and it never ends

Yes

What are we looking for?

I need to know

every person in contact with Liang Tong

and everything about him

Yes

And it's also

a warning

A warning?

Liang Tong is too smart

to give us any leverage against him

He'll know it's a warning when he finds it

If he panics

we might have a chance

to get something on him

Got it

I'm on it

No one will find out we're behind this

Zeng Guangxi mentioned

Liang Tong's ability in intelligence work once again

His compliments were disturbing

He is using Liang Tong as a bait

to get Melanie

Liang Tong found himself involved in a dangerous game

Zeng is trying to get them both

His suspicion is growing

Fresh vegetables

Yifu Shop

Fresh vegetables

What happens?

Did you hear it?

The mew

So creepy

I can't take off the headphones

The mew

makes me so uncomfortable

Yes

General Liang

OK. I'll be there on time

General Liang is asking Melanie to meet

I'll report to the Chief

A magic way to radiant skin and remove freckles

Steamed buns

Freshly steamed buns

General Liang

Mr. Liu

I'll take you to your reserved table

You could've asked a waiter to do this

It's an honor

Usually I don't receive guests myself

This way, please

Take a seat, General

I'll get some tea

Thank you

Bro

you might as well get closer for a better look

Don't

Now that we've met

let's get acquainted with each other

Go

It's the first time Liang Tong meets Melanie since he's back in Chongqing

but it's a spying task of Zeng Guangxi

Zeng has turned this meeting

into a show with an unwanted audience

Liang is forced to act with caution

Who is the guy tailing him?

He is walking on thin ice now

Thank you

General, your guest is here

Not an easy place to find, right?

I would never know

there's such a fancy restaurant

if you hadn't invited me

Take your time

The dishes will be served soon

Thank you

My pleasure

Thanks

Looks like you're a frequent guest

I can't afford to frequent this place

They serve great stewed chicken noodles

The chef used to cook for the royal family in the late Qing Dynasty

I took the liberty of ordering that for you

The gentleman you just met

is the owner Liu Decheng

He is quite a character

He was a Major General,

who used to be a brigade commander at the 10th Division

The Division suffered heavy casualties

and was therefore dismissed

After that, he opened this restaurant

and named it Qiusan Restaurant

He graduated from the Military Academy in the late Qing Dynasty

He even worked as Zhang Zhidong's adviser

His family name is Liu, you were saying?
