Episode 11

I never knew that

one of the legendary two figures in Vietnam

is such an unprincipled person.

Tiny little draft

can frighten you so much.

Translate.

Mr. Chi just said,

you are just a dumb bear.

What did you just say?

Get away, get away, get away!

Get out, hurry, out!

Get out, hurry! Out of the way!

Out of the way! Get out! Go!

I came with Mr. Chi.

I just warn everyone here.

Now the outside is jammed

with the Japanese military guards.

I believe you don't

want to see blood here.

Major Ye, how did you find out here?

Did you follow me?

If you're doing something legitimate,

I won't be so curious.

Mr. Chi.

Come with me.

Sorry, Major Ye,

I'm not done with my business yet.

I can't go with you.

I think you should call off your business.

Exchanging life for money

isn't a fair trade.

Your words don't count.

Mr. Hu.

This person is a Japanese major.

If you wanna play tough on me.

Let alone we can't do any business,

none of us will be able to walk out of this door alive.

Do you understand?

I accept his price.

Mr. Chi.

My boss Hu has accepted the price you offered.

No more problem.

It was a pleasure working with you.

Wei, bring them to pick up the goods.

Yes.

Wait,

he can leave.

But this translator needs to stay.

Fei.

What's wrong?

Our president is here.

Get away.

Who the heck are you?

Are you nuts?

You don't even know who I am?

Major Ye.

If you take away my translator,

how am I gonna do business?

He is just a translator.

Why are you so nervous?

Major Ye.

Now that we come to this point,

there's nothing I need to hide.

Do you really think what's popular in Vietnam right now

is only luxuries and red wine?

You are wrong.

What they need the most is firearms.

You didn't plan on buying grains right from the start.

You are wrong again.

I am defiantly going to buy the grains.

Do you know why?

Because your Japanese fleet

has sailed around okinawa for half a month.

If those sailors don't get any food supply,

I am afraid they'll starve to death.

By then it will be hard for me as president of

the Peace-Keeping Union.

Besides,

even if I don't need to plan for you Japanese.

I need to think about our Hong Kong citizens.

Your mind is all about illegal arms trade,

profiting from war.

Would you even care about the Hong Kong citizens?

It's my own business. It doesn't matter to you.

However, now you don't care about your soldiers' lives.

and General Sato's command.

That really matters.

Do you think nobody will find out

the dirty trade you've done,

after you get back to Hong Kong?

So what?

I'm not afraid of you telling anyone.

I hope you Japanese people

can see my hypocritical part as a businessman.

Because between us, there's no room for honesty.

I help you to get what you want,

and I take some cuts from it.

That doesn't cross the line.

You are not our boss's woman.

We've never seen you.

If you wanna get in there,

we need to search you.

Fine.

Go ahead.

I'm fine with it.

If Hu in there gets to know that

someone touches me on my way in,

I'm not sure what he's gonna do.

Besides,

I'm not here by myself.

If Hu gets to know that you are not letting him see his son,

I'd like to know

what kind of nasty death you'll end up with.

What's the matter?

Sister-in-law is here.

Jin Xiang, why are you here?

Who are you?

Ye Chong.

I'd like to have a word with you.

I have nothing to talk to you.

Who the hell are you?

I advise everyone to stay still.

This gunpowder is powerful.

Lower your weapon, lower your weapon.

Ye Chong,

I set up this business.

I found the buyer.

Mr. Chi is only helping me.

Now I show up here,

and everyone might die at any point.

Who else will you talk to?

Ye, listen to me.

Your Japanese, want to use our Xinghe Society

and Chi's influence

to establish your authority in Hong Kong.

It can only work out when we work together.

We are helping you Japanese,

so you also need to play by our Xinghe Society's book.

It is our established tradition of doing arms dealing.

Everyone here is my long-term business partner.

If you break my business chain today,

then I'll make you my enemy from today on.

Then President Jin,

tell me what you want.

As long as they can leave today safely,

then we'll still be friends.

But if anything happens to anyone here,

I assure you

no one can go back to Hong Kong.

Good for you...

Wei,

take them back.

Go.

Mr. Ye, you're smart.

I will make friends with you.

Now they are all gone,

I can leave too, right?

No, you can't.

Mr. Ye, please be patient.

Once the deal is done and Wei returns,

I will naturally let you go.

Such a ruthless woman,

how can Mr. Chi. put up with you?

Wei.

Boss Hu,

aren't they gonna check the goods?

I will first escort our comrades out,

Then I will go meet Feng.

Who's that woman?

She is kind of a family of Mr. Chi.

Let's get going.

Mr. Chi.

About that translator,

is there anything you want to tell me?

Does he have any other identity?

He is my bridge to connect China and Vietnam.

Without him,

no matter how many firearms I have,

I won't be able to turn them into gold.

That's how you two get rich.

Why didn't you tell me?

I could have been a part of your business.

Then it won't come to this stage today.

Sure.

As long as you can keep this secret for us,

welcome on board.

Mr. Chi is a quite straightforward.

But

it's not the money that I'm after.

Our Xinghe society

is already working for you.

What else do you want?

I want

it to work for me exclusively.

Mr. Chi you are thinking on the right track.

I am looking for a patron.

In such a chaotic time,

everyone wants to get more resources.

What Mr. Chi is doing,

is no different either.

But you are...

I am the Japanese

empirical hero they publicized,

but it won't change the fact that I'm a Chinese,

Overall,

the skeptical Japanese army

will not trust me entirely.

In their eyes,

I am no more than a gadget.

And in the Chinese's eyes,

I am a traitor.

A rat.

A thief sold out his own country.

In their eyes,

I shouldn't even exist.

Though Hong Kong is big,

there's no room left for me.

It is quite reasonable

for me to seek one extra way out.

What do you want us to do?

Simple.

Just like what President Jin said,

quid pro quo.

I keep your secret,

so you can make your big money through

military channels.

In the mean time,

I will assign you tasks,

and you will get it done

with your sources

without asking why.

It doesn't sound like a fair trade.

This is already the fairest trade I can offer.

But I can give you a bottom line.

What bottom line?

I won't kill any Chinese.

Boss, the goods are fine.

It was nice to work with you.

Likewise.

Sister.

- Why are you... - Feng.

Are you alright?

Your brother-in-law is here.

What can possibly happen to me?

It's just

Mr. Ye had some unpleasant experience.

I will give you some time to think about it.

President Jin,

when did you arrive in Vietnam?

Why didn't you tell us?

Sis Xiang just told me

she hid in the boiler room to get here.

What?

You are going to say yes to him?

I'm asking you.

Why don't you tell me

how you got in that room earlier first?

I told the bodyguard

that I am Boss Hu's woman.

And I am carrying his child.

Of course he'll let me in.

Sister Xiang. You are quite something.

I'm impressed.

It's brilliant, right?

Super!

Nonsense!

Why is it nonsense?

Why did you go in there?

To make more troubles?

What trouble did I make?

I went in there to save you.

I saved you at that very moment just now.

Did you?

In what way?

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

Why have you so late?

I almost fell asleep.

Let's go. Let's go back.

Go.

I asked the room service to make you some food.

It will be delivered soon.

Wei, can you pour me a glass of whiskey?

I've helped them leave.

I wonder where they are right now.

To be able to send them away safely

is already quite lucky.

Tonight we were really walking on a knife's edge.

Hu Wenyong left too.

This time,

it was a good start

for us to collect food for Hong Kong citizens.

And this time I made Ye Chong believe

that I am only a greedy and shrewd businessman.

I think this is quite a good disguise for me.

In the long run, when we deal with the Japanese,

this will make it easier.

Do you think he believes you?

Probably...

But no matter what,

once we go back to Hong Kong,

we need to start a series of long-term underground work.

Let's plan for both possibilities.

He said he wanted to join

your ammunition businesses.

Did he mean it?

It's hard to say.

Probably because he's a Chinese.

I think he is looking for a good way out for the future.

Master,

could it be that he wanted to talk you into his side?

Hardly.

He mostly wanted to make me

and Xinghe Society at his deployment,

and be his patron in the future.

Patron?

That's good.

Why didn't you play along?

If he didn't mention Xinghe society,

I would think it's a pretty good deal.

But to be honest,

I really don't want to drag Jin Xiang into this.

I understand.

How come we know nothing about

Jin Xiang coming to Vietnam?

Feng said she was hiding in the boiler room all the time.

Do you believe it?

It's not entirely impossible.

She might have found out your plan,

and followed you all the way,

waiting for the right timing to show up

to help you out.

It was a big sacrifice.

Sacrifice.

* King of Yue State who sacrificed a lot for his own country Even if she's Gou Jian,

I am not the Yue State that worth her giving up everything.

Here comes the food.

Meal time.

Feng, please wait.

- Bring Major Yamamoto back to his room. - Yes.

I believe you also had

no clue of what happened tonight.

What do you wanna say?

I am just a little bit curious.

Nobody had seen President Jin on the way here.

Why did she show up in Vietnam all of a sudden?

I don't know that either.

It might be Brother Chi's decision.

If there's nothing else,

I will leave now.

It seems that you have an unusual trust

towards Mr. Chi.

So that means you can't

get any information from me.

I absolutely support Brother Chi's decision.

So

I have nothing to tell you.

Then for the fact that seven of the brothers

of Xinghe society suddenly went missing,

you don't care about it at all?

Those seven people

are the business liaison that we sent here.

Haven't our men all passed your thorough examination?

What do you really want to say?

I know the reason why

you don't want me to get into your business

is that you don't want me to be in danger.

I'm aware of that.

But I don't want to be a person

who gets protected and excluded,

I want to be with you,

even just following you,

as long as I'm with you.

I can promise

if you allow me to follow you this time,

I will listen to everything you say,

follow every arrangement you make,

and won't make any moves without your permission.

If me staying here

will only annoy you,

then I'll just leave.

I'm leaving.

Starting from tomorrow,

if you mess up my plans,

I will deport you back to Hong Kong right away.

Deal!

I'm not done yet.

Starting from tomorrow, don't talk randomly,

you'd better not talk at all.

Now eat.

Master, something came up.

What happened?

Our goods were robbed.

I know who did this.

Li Kuinan.

Who is Li Kuinan?

This person

has done business my father.

He is senile,

and influential in Vietnam.

He is smart,

speaks four languages.

He does frequent international businesses.

He and Hu Wenyong was not getting along for a long time.

He must have heard about

our business with Hu last night.

So he's giving us a warning.

This Li Kuinan,

I've heard about his ruthless reputation.

I didn't know he can be so savage-like.

Sister,

I will go get our goods back.

Don't rush.

We can't just let him bully us.

How many did we lose?

I did a rough count.

Around 30 cases.

30 cases?

That's not a tiny sum.

It's not a big deal for losing some goods.

If we wanna do business in his place,

we need to work out our differences.

Well,

I will go meet with this Li Kuinan

in the name of Xinghe society.

They should at least show some respect.

Consider that we want to make friends with him.

Fine.

You go meet Li Kuinan.

I will go to Vichy Government to find Jean de Guerre.

The longer our goods stock at this port,

the more risk we are facing.

Now, Feng.

I'll write you a referral letter,

you should be alright.

Sure.

Feng is quick-tempered.

he is somewhat experienced with brotherhood businesses,

but I'm afraid he might run into a fight with your people.

I've always wanted to see how Feng does his business.

How about I go with him?

Thanks.

Why did you allow him to go along?

To see how much truth is in his proposal last night.

Wenyuan.

Cheng.

Long time no see.

That's right, Cheng.

Finally we meet again.

Since we parted, it has been five or six years.

Yes,

time flies.

Ruan Wenyuan Secretary of Vichy Government Foreign Affairs

Not long ago, Ruan Wenyuan Secretary of Vichy Government Foreign Affairs

Ruan Wenyuan Secretary of Vichy Government Foreign Affairs

I've heard the news that your father passed away. Ruan Wenyuan Secretary of Vichy Government Foreign Affairs

I've heard the news that your father passed away.

It happened to be a ship restriction.

I didn't make it to offer my condolence.

I can't describe how upset I was.

It is good to see you are

spirited and energetic again in front of me.

This cheers me up more than anything.

Let's not talk about these sad things.

Sure.

Wenyuan.

Jin Xiang.

No way.

You two are finally together for real?

No, it was because

I took over Xinghe Society a while ago.

Jin Xiang is the president of Xinghe Society.

She needs to come along.

I am here to supervise.

- Still the same way. - Yes

Please. After you. Please.

Governor Jean de Guerre has a busy schedule.

He asked me to welcome you two.

For anything you want to talk about,

you can talk to me.

He said,

Governor Jean de Guerre has a busy schedule,

so he was asked to welcome you two.

You can talk to him.

There is a very beautiful lady.

What did he say?

He said this lady is very beautiful.

Mr. Chi.

Mr. Bertrand

is Minister of Commerce of Vichy Government.

Your problem is in his authority.

That's great.

Mr. Bertrand,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Currently South Asia is a war zone.

Trading goods, Mr. Chi,

is impossible.

He says it is impossible to trade goods.

Why not?

Mr. Bertrand,

we have the wine that you need,

you have the rice that we need.

We trade with each other.

Quit por quo.

I really fancy your wine.

But

in our government's warehouse,

there's no rice that you need.

Those resources

has already been expropriated by the Japanese.

Now there's nothing left in our warehouse.

I can't help you.

Can you walk faster?

Cheng.

Cheng.

These Frenchmen are extremely greedy.

All they cares about is money.

You reminded me before.

But I didn't know they could be so greedy.

The world is in imminent danger,

there's not much honesty left here.

Cheng,

you'd better come up with some solutions.

If these goods need to be shipped back to Hong Kong,

then you will suffer a big loss.

Wenyuan.

Only timber and grains can be shipped back to Hong Kong.

There,

you go have a rest first,

I have business to talk about with someone.

Business?

What business?

With whom?

Can you stop being so nosy about my business?

Hurry, go back and have a rest.

I got so pissed off by listening to your business.

I might as well go back and sleep.

It takes a fierce dragon to cross the river.

You're really worth to be the first hand of

Xinghe society President Jin.

You've earned your reputation.

This young man.

You're quick in attack and brutal.

Li Kuinan Leader of the Vietnam Hey union You're quick in attack and brutal.

Li Kuinan Leader of the Vietnam Hey union

May I know your name? Li Kuinan Leader of the Vietnam Hey union

May I know your name?

I am only

a friend of Feng.

Courageous and intelligent.

Thoughtful and modest.

Those are the qualities that make a true hero.

Cut the shit, Li Kuinan.

I was planning to pay a respectful visit.

I didn't expect you would be so dishonorable.

I accepted your boxing match.

You bullied us with a bigger group.

What do you mean?

That's how I make friends.

Feng, if you are not happy with this,

feel free to go.

Fine,

we will defiantly go.

But where is our goods?

We are new to here.

Sorry if we offended you.

But we just did a fight of one against six.

I think we can call that even.

Since you two came here with President Jin's referral letter.

Right?

Then of course I will show some respect.

If you two feel like it,

I'd like to make friends with you.

No need to make friends.

We only have one request.

Please return the goods that you

took from us.

Jin Xiang.

Weren't you gonna sleep? Where are you going?

I just wanna go shopping.

Sure, to buy what? I will go with you.

No need.

See you later.

I will be right back.

Go.

Feng.

You didn't know.

In our Saigon,

there's an unwritten rule.

What rule?

That is whatever you've taken,

you shall not give it back.

- Li Kuinan. - Feng.

So what you mean is

we came here for nothing?

How can it be?

Gentlemen,

in Saigon,

there are not so many people can earn my appreciation.

You two are courageous and intelligent.

in that boxing ring,

only you two

can pass all three levels of challenges.

Your goods will be able to

come and go freely in Vietnam from now on.

Nobody dares to touch your goods.

As for those goods my people took from you,

gentlemen,

consider that your nice gesture to me.

Why?

No negotiation?

You what to negotiate it?

Tell me. How?

I am listening.

Sure.

For what Boss Li said,

we will report it to President Jin when we get back.

We'll see you around.

Very well.

This person is way too tough,

tough as rock.

This is Vietnam.

Come.

Thief.

A disgusting thief.

Looking for troubles?

You thief, thief...

I'll beat you dead.

You filthy thief. Thief.

Why did you stop me?

Did you forget what President Jin sent you here for?

I played by their rules to do the boxing.

They're dishonest.

This is their place.

They'll have their own definition of honesty.

Stop lecturing me.

I got beaten up.

I took a punch for you, too.

And I helped you.

What kind of help was that?

You waited until the last moment.

I was afraid if I helped you too early,

it'll affect you exerting your normal ability.

Come on.

Japanese are cunning.

Will Japanese help Chinese?

I don't think you're a good man.

Now what?

Our goods are lost,

and I got beaten.

If people gets to know this,

it will be such a shame for Xinghe society.

Sister Xiang will be so crossed if she learns this.

She won't.

Why?

Dozens boxes of red wine for a friendship.

This is not a bad deal.

What do you mean?

Spell it out!

Ye Chong did it right.

Sister,

why are you helping him?

I am telling you,

This Li is untrustworthy.

He's definitely not planning on making friends.

Master.

What is it?

Li Kuinan's people called,

saying Boss Li wants to meet President Jin tonight.

Sister,

you can't go.

This must be a trap.

Feng, don't worry.

He must mean it.

Otherwise he won't meet you,

neither will he send people to inform me.

Then,

you should bring all our men.

I'll go to Ye Chong for some Japanese solider.

Why?

I am not taking anyone.

He won't do anything to me.

Wei. Get the car ready.

Yes.

What are you doing?

I'll come with you.

This is good.

Is he from Shanghai?

This guy is good.

You see that?

Well done.

Uncle Li.

I admire your courage to come here.

Uncle Li.

Why would I need to be worried to come to visit you?

Surely no need for that.

But your little brother was here today,

and he had a hard time.

I owe you an apology in person.

That is not necessary.

We are all in the same community.

There are so many excellent people

around President Jin.

What,

you are not gonna introduce me?

Uncle Li, nice to meet you.

My name is Chi Cheng.

Today our brother was rather rude to you.

Please forgive him.

Please be reassured.

We are not here to pick up a fight with you.

We are here to make friends with you.

Surely we can make friends,

but I like friends with sincerity.
