Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes...

On the battlefield,

weapons are blind

and perils abound.

Are you really willing to leave your family

and business behind?

Family?

What family?

But as for you, Ms. Ye,

have you really given up

on studying abroad?

It's my honor to defend my country.

Besides,

if Qingyu were still here,

he'd have made the same choice.

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Triumph for our heroes,

safe return for all!

Stop!

[Answering the call to arms to defend our homeland]

He can finally let go of the past

and start a new life.

Isn't this exactly what I want to see?

He hates me so much now.

Telling him about this

would just be asking for humiliation.

Even if the road ahead is tough,

I will raise our child well on my own.

Miss Ren,

where are you going?

Inspector Li, you think too highly of me.

In my current state,

where else can I go?

Then get in

and return

to the hospital with me.

We walk different paths.

Why are you in my business?

Then should I

just let you murder my father?

You're a filial son, huh?

But if you shield a criminal,

you can kiss your

police badge goodbye.

I will get to the bottom

of the North-South Railway case.

But before that,

I'll never let you hurt the innocent.

The innocent?

Who's innocent?

Li Rongzhang?

You investigating

and I seeking revenge are

both just ways to validate our own paths.

May the best man win.

The batch of arms on the Fang family's ship

did belong to my father's army.

Are you admitting that

Li Rongzhang killed my father?

On the contrary.

The transactions between my father and Master Fang had been

going on for 5 years.

They always used the guise of transporting military medical supplies

to transport arms and gunpowder.

And about this matter,

Master Fang was well aware.

So it's completely untrue

that my father smuggled arms

and caused the ship to explode.

Are you trying to say

that the explosion

was an accident?

[Marine Logbook of the Remote Star]

The ship Master Fang was on, the Remote Star,

made countless round trips between Nancheng and Nanyang.

Every time it left the port,

there were safety officers to make a record.

You can check out the previous draft levels.

[Ship Logbook]

Only the draft of the last departure was

deeper than before.

You mean the ship

carried things other than arms,

[Ship Logbook]

but there's no record of it?

So what exactly

was added to the ship,

and who did it belong to?

How is it

related to Master Fang

leaving your wedding to rush back to Nanyang?

And what role did it play in that explosion?

Aren't you curious?

What are you getting at?

Ren Susu,

face reality.

The Fangs have fallen,

and the Murongs won't acknowledge you.

As a mere orphan,

be it to seek revenge

or investigate the matter,

you have to risk your life.

But can you afford to risk your life now?

Don't you care

about your child?

Qingyi is my family,

so I will take good care of his child.

And my father is

even more so my family.

So I will clear his name.

Why do you need to prove

to a nobody like me

that the Lis are innocent?

Aren't you afraid that the end result...

If it really has to do with my father,

then regardless of new grudges or old debts,

I swear by the police badge on my cap

that I'll bring the real culprit to justice

and get justice for the innocent dead.

Stop the car.

See her out.

Qingyu,

don't worry.

I'll protect everyone in both of our families.

Everything here...

will remain the same.

Come on,

I want to play in the snow.

[Upholding his elder brother's unfulfilled legacy and heeding the nation's call,]

[Murong Qingyi led aviation students to the southwestern front, to serve the country.]

[Through the arduous, perilous journey, he achieved great feats with patriotic zeal.]

[The fires of war raged for 6 long years; 6 years since he left his homeland.]

[Congratulations on the full opening of the North-South Railway]

[Nancheng Station]

Bravo! Bravo!

Marshal Li,

the North-South Railway is officially open.

As the person in charge,

care to say a few words?

After a turbulent few decades,

the North-South Railway

is finally fully operational.

I shoulder a heavy responsibility.

I promise to use this railway

to benefit the people.

Bravo! Bravo!

Mr. Zhang!

The Zhang family has invested heavily in this railway construction.

Regarding this,

what are your future business plans?

[Nancheng Station]

It's an honor for the Zhangs

to cooperate with Marshal Li.

In the future,

this railway will

also be the main transport artery for our pharmaceutical factory.

We'll supply high-quality, low-cost medicines

to the public and the military.

Bravo! Bravo!

-Bravo! -Great!

Bravo!

Gentlemen, please look over here.

Marshal Li.

Foreigner's dog piss...

No thanks.

The landscape of Nancheng

has changed drastically in 7 years.

Now that the Murongs are weakened,

you've become the real shot-caller.

Our Zhang family also

feels deeply honored.

Are you dropping hints at me?

No.

Yes,

your family has contributed money and effort.

But you must get one thing straight:

With or without your family,

I'm still the one calling the shots

about the North-South Railway.

Naturally.

I have no intention of claiming credit.

I'm just here to propose a deal on behalf of my father.

As long as

you open the door of convenience

for us on the railway,

the medicines we produce will be

supplied to the military first.

And of all pharmaceutical sales...

you'll get a 10% cut.

[Lanxin Theater]

Susu,

you're here.

What did you find out?

On this trip back to Nanyang,

I finally found the Fangs' old butler, Mr. Bao.

When Uncle Fang's ship sank,

he was supposed to be on it.

He told me...

These are all arms.

Lash them down for the rough seas.

Look at this!

Lash it down tight.

The German arms bought by Li Rongzhang over the years

were basically transported by the Fangs

via sea routes to Nancheng.

Nothing ever went wrong with this before.

But that one time,

a sailor found something

that had never been there before under the arms.

Some sailors

secretly took those pills

and started behaving abnormally,

while others became lethargic.

What are you two doing?

What's wrong with you?

How dare you smoke opium?

If Master finds out, you'll all be fired!

Mr. Bao,

th-this isn't opium.

I-It's medicine.

Medicine?

According to the sailors,

this medicine is

extremely popular in Nanyang,

as it boosts your energy.

So, Mr. Bao let his guard down.

He didn't want to offend the Lis over his sailors stealing the medicine,

so he suppressed the matter.

But, a few days later,

the sailors who took the medicine started getting sick—

high fevers and rashes

that even seemed contagious.

Come!

So, Mr. Bao sent a telegram

to Uncle Fang to handle it quickly.

Uncle Fang replied and warned him

not to let anyone leave the ship and go ashore,

lest there be an accident.

Mr. Bao was both afraid of catching the strange disease

and of being punished by Uncle Fang,

so he secretly went ashore in a small boat.

As a result,

he escaped the explosion.

What were the pills

on the ship called?

The sailors called them

Red Pills.

Red Pills?

Isn't that a drug?

They weren't ordinary Red Pills.

With Mr. Bao as a witness

and the Red Pills as evidence,

we can kill

that old bastard Li!

Li Rongzhang can't die yet.

Why?

If Li Rongzhang is

really a link in this drug chain,

killing him

will cut off our trail.

To eradicate the Red Pills,

we must follow the trail

and find the source.

I only heard of Red Pills appearing in coastal areas,

but they actually spread to Nancheng.

This is no small matter.

No matter how serious,

it's for the authorities to handle.

The Red Pill

not only physically

destroys the addicts,

but also has absolute control over their minds.

If we let it spread,

sooner or later, there will be no more usable soldiers.

So,

you don't want revenge anymore?

Of course I want revenge.

-How long? -Just…

A year, 2 years, or 10 years?

Every day the Red Pill matter remains unsolved

is a day Li Rongzhang retains power!

How's that justified?

In today's

dog-eat-dog world,

truth and justice are but myths!

Don't forget what

we've been planning for all these years.

Ren Susu,

you can wait,

but I can't.

All these years,

my brother has appeared in my dreams every night,

charred all over,

covered in blood,

crying out for me to avenge him.

Qing!

I won't persuade you,

so don't you try to persuade me.

I'll avenge

my brother and Mr. Fang

myself.

[Xanadu Cabaret]

Your hairpin.

Thank you, sir.

Who sent you?

No one.

Li Rongzhang, you have so much blood on your hands.

I'm your retribution!

Retribution?

I'd like to see

if I'm afraid of retribution

or if retribution's afraid of me.

This retribution is quite a beauty.

Get lost.

Marshal,

we should take her back for interrogation.

Many people want me dead.

I have no interest in knowing why.

Li Rongzhang!

If you don't kill me today,

you'll regret it!

You should be glad

that I like the look of you today.

Want to kill me?

Oh, kid...

Why are you here?

What's with that look?

Are you afraid of me?

Or do you hate me?

What happened to your hand?

I tried to kill Li Rongzhang and got hurt.

It's a pity.

That old bastard sure is lucky.

I couldn't make him die on the streets.

I knew it.

You and Ren Susu are working together.

So you knew all along

that she'd try to assassinate my father

at Qingyu's wedding.

So what if I knew?

Doesn't he deserve to die?

What about me?

What am I to you,

exactly?

Just a casual fling,

or a premeditated scheme?

Or has there ever been

a part of you that loved me even a tiny bit?

You are Li Rongzhang's son.

What do you think?

I understand.

So from the very beginning,

to you,

I've always been an enemy.

As long as my surname's Li,

you'll never trust me.

You've never truly

shed your mask for me either.

It was all my wishful thinking.

I was delusional.

Li Boze!

Can you give up your status as the young master of the Lis?

Can you?

If you can...

You can try to kill him as many times

as you want...

but I won't let you lay a finger on my father!

Look!

-There's a plane! -A plane?

It's a plane!

-It's a plane from the aviation school! -Really?

Really?

We won at the frontlines! They're back!

They're here!

Young Marshal Murong,

it's been 7 years.

How does it feel to be back?

You triumphed in battle.

Care to share your experience?

The North-South Railway is now owned by the Lis,

and the Murongs are weakened.

-Which side are you on? -As Zhenhua Aviation School's principal,

how do you feel right now?

Please say something.

The Murongs have produced two aviation school principals.

Do you have anything to say?

Young Master Qingyi,

why are you back a few days early?

The higher-ups told me to return early

to probe military corruption.

Oh, right.

Take a look at this.

Seen it before?

This is...

This is a new type of drug

we found in the military.

Principal,

this was found in the military camp.

It's probably made from opium.

It has spread its way to Nancheng.

My informant told me that

Li Rongzhang is suspected of funding his army through corruption.

Would Marshal Li do that?

Who cares if he would or not.

I came back this time

to resolve this case.

Otherwise,

this drug will cause endless harm.

Upon learning of your return,

both the Murongs and the Lis sent word immediately.

The Murongs want you home for dinner,

while Marshal Li has

set up a banquet at Lanxin Theater

to welcome you.

Where should we go first?

For the Red Pill investigation,

I can't miss

the Lis' dinner.

Let's go.

[Lanxin Theater]

Qiaoqiao,

where are you?

Where'd this low-life come from?

Trying to get killed?

Apologize.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry.

Get lost.

Thank you, Mister.

It's dangerous to be on the street alone.

I...

Qiaoqiao ran onto the street.

I came out to find it.

Don't do such a dangerous thing again,

you hear me?

If Qiaoqiao's in danger again,

I will save it again.

Qiaoqiao is my family.

Yes,

a real man should

protect his family well.

Mister.

Where's your family?

My family...

went to a faraway place.

My dad went to a faraway place too.

Where's your home?

I'll take you back.

Lanxin Theater.

My mom and I live there.

Let's go.

Come on.

[Lanxin Theater]

After you.

To the left.

I heard that

the boss of Lanxin Theater

has a rich patron backing her.

More than that;

she even had a child for that patron.

No wonder.

There's no way she could've just opened such a big theater.

-So it's shady business. -Mister, let's go.

Le'an,

if you hear nonsense in the future,

just cover your ears.

Don't listen to it, okay?

But if I cover my ears,

will they stop talking nonsense?

I still have to face it myself.

Mister,

be more mature, okay?

You're so sensible.

Mister,

let's go.

Where could he've gone?

Have you searched everywhere?

We've searched every corner of the theater.

Could Young Master Le'an have run outside?

I'll go outside to look.

Boss,

we've found Young Master Le'an.

He was brought back by a kind stranger.

That's great.

Reward him properly

with more money.

But the gentleman said

he must deliver the child to his mother in person.

Where is he?

He's on his way up.

Boss,

this gentleman brought Young Master Le'an back.

Mom!

You scared me to death.

Sir, the dog.

Yes.

Yan,

take Le'an to play.

Sir...

thank you for bringing Le'an back.

Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble at all.

Le'an is

quite cute.

I'm really sorry.

It's...

It's not convenient for me to go out,

so I couldn't thank you in person.

You manage such a large business

with all sorts of people.

It's better to be more careful.

You're right.

The theater is hectic.

I should take better care of Le'an.

Since the child's been found,

I'll take my leave.

Goodbye.
