Episode 41

The structure of navy ships

is very different from

that of regular ones.

The capacity of cargo hold

is not enough.

Apart from clothing,

there are many

military supplies to be loaded.

So I have to

manage them separately

with clear packing standards.

I know I'm not a good businessman as you.

But for this cargo shipping,

you must completely follow my orders.

I hope you could cooperate with me.

I've allocated other military supplies properly,

according to the weight.

The clothing, being the lightest,

is allocated right in the middle of the cargo hold.

It can't be under damp conditions,

so I left you

the closest spot

near the boiler room.

You can take a look.

The task I am doing now

is to convoy navy ships

departing from ports safely.

I can make it depart from Hong Kong

in three or four hours.

This trouble will be tackled

before ringing out the hour tomorrow night.

Is it a trouble for you, Major Ye?

Of course!

Any emergency

out of my preparation

is considered a trouble.

It seems that Major Ye

will deal with such troubles more often in the future.

No worries.

Take appropriate measures as the situation calls for.

I believe

there's no setback we could not overcome.

I'll leave this map

to you for your reference.

Renumbering

must be done ASAP.

Since we don't have much time left.

Mr. Chi, thank you for your hard work.

Major Ye,

thank you for

doing so much paperwork

to tackle this issue.

It is my duty to do so.

What is he doing here again?

He is here to help.

Ye Chong's hint is obvious,

but Chi Cheng believes

he starts to get used to

this kind of hint.

Chi Cheng knew that

he would be

in a passive position

for a long time.

Even being busy every day,

desperately busy,

he's still at loose ends.

Moreover,

it seems that there is an invisible hand behind him,

pushing himself in the dark

towards an unknown direction

without knowing

the destination.

Brother-in-law,

I have pawned things for

two gold bars.

Which pawnshop did you go?

Yeun's Pawnshop!

Did I make it less?

The thing I gave to you

wouldn't worth this much.

Well...

Fine. Fine. Let's...

forget it, brother-in-law.

See?

We got gold bars now,

and we could use them to buy guns.

This is what matters, right?

Feng, well done.

Go ahead with your stuff.

Ye Chong's hint

is quite obvious,

but this favor

seems more obvious.

Someone is helping him,

all the time.

No matter who this person is,

and no matter how many there are,

this warmth is like the sun

in Chi Cheng's life,

spreading shimmering light

to the grayish roads ahead.

There is no one in this world

that can be so generous like you

and willingly to be anonymous for the heroic deeds.

I heard this

was once fondled by

Empress Dowager Ci Xi.

The Chi's enterprise

has quite some powerful connections.

But look,

this world has now cornered

Master Chi to sell his properties and treasures.

It is indeed a living hell.

Fortunately, there is a person like him

willing to terminate suffering in the hell.

I have told him about

navy ships.

What did he react?

He rejected it at first,

then he accepted.

Now the only thing remained

which requires careful thoughts

would be the follow-ups of the explosion.

Navy ships explode.

And it wastes

such a huge batch of military supplies.

The Japanese won't let it go.

Therefore,

we must plan it in advance

making sure Chi Cheng could stay out of it.

Any progress

on Blue Panther?

I just found out a person,

a female agent from BIS,

named Xue Ping.

She once saved Blue Panther.

Blue Panther seemed to have an affection on her.

But this Xue Ping

seemed to associate with another person closely,

Feng from Xinghe Society.

I found

she left BIS suddenly not long ago

and moved in Xinghe Society.

BIS?

Are you saying

someone is helping us implicitly?

I can't tell.

I have a feeling that

it's not just a coincidence.

Master,

are you still thinking about

our comrade

among the Japanese?

But haven't we already

talked about him?

Yes, we have,

and we have analyzed a lot about him too.

Do you know?

My hunch always tells me it's Ye Chong.

But this Ye Chong

has proved my judgment wrong again and again.

I am getting confused now.

Master.

Don't think about it.

It has been so fortunate that

we finally have solutions of

shipping supplies.

You are right.

Have you done with the renumbering?

I am the wife of Chi Cheng,

who is the boss of this factory.

I need to enter for an urgent matter.

Without a permission,

no one is allowed to enter.

As I said,

I am Chi Cheng's wife.

I have never heard that

the boss has a wife.

I am sorry.

Please leave.

I am here today

to meet him for an important matter of business.

If it goes wrong,

you are not able to pay for it.

If you don't know me,

then go get him to pick me up here.

Let her in!

Yes!

Mr. Chi

should be in the office now.

As per Ye Chong's requirements,

that special batch of goods

has been repacked

and renumbered.

President Jin.

I need talk to you.

Xue Ping,

what's the matter today?

Nothing.

It's just I haven't seen you a lot recently,

so I was hoping

to spend some time with you tonight,

alright?

I am sorry, Xue Ping.

I have been quite busy these days.

You idiot.

I am not blaming you at all.

I just hope you can stay with me for a bit.

Do you know

I always missed the full moon every month

when I was child.

On the day of the full moon,

I always told myself that

I would see the full moon next month.

But I still missed it

every month

due to various reasons.

As I grew up,

Gradually,

I lost interest in the moon.

No worries,

even if we can't

see the moon today.

I can watch it with you next month.

Next month happens to be the Lantern Festival.

I'll take you

to put flower lamp in lotus pond, okay?

When I was in BIS before,

I lived unreasonably for so long.

I was always thinking

if I could make it back.

But I just realized today

I hadn't changed at all.

I knew

you hadn't changed.

You are you, always.

Feng,

promise me something, okay?

Okay.

I am really afraid.

I'm afraid of losing you.

Therefore, no matter what happens,

you must

take care of yourself.

I promise.

One more thing.

Don't trust anyone.

Anyone including you?

Yes, including me.

How did you get in?

I walked in.

Japanese soldiers are out there, how did you do that?

I happened to see Ye Chong,

he let me in.

What?

In such a big factory,

even Japanese soldiers know

you hasn't got married.

You protect yourself so well.

What do you want?

Five gold bars

counted as I lend you,

no interest rates.

Where did you get these gold bars?

As president of Xinghe Society,

wouldn't be a joke

if I don't have such few gold bars?

Do you think I have no ideas about

the current situation of Xinghe Society?

Don't lie to me.

You really think you know me

and my Xinghe Society well?

You and Tang Feng

run on errands

for the peace cause every day.

Living in this wild world,

I can't turn a blind eye.

These gold bars

can count as

my investment on the noble peace cause.

It's a drop in the bucket,

but it's still

better than nothing.

Okay,

you accepted it.

I am leaving now.

Jin Xiang!

What?

These gold bars

are what I borrowed from you.

I'll pay you back.

And one more thing,

thank you.

For me,

you don't need ask why forever,

moreover, no need to apologize,

the least needed words

are 'thank you'.

But

I will accept your appreciation

today.

Remember to come to me

whenever you have troubles.

President Jin has left?

She looks well.

She must be recovered, right?

Major Ye,

I understand you are powerful,

but you can't just decide

who I want to meet

or not.

I wish you stop intervening

my business

other than military control, okay?

And

that batch of goods

has been reworked

as you required.

Anything else?

No.

Find your way out.

Goodbye.

Major.

Major,

everything goes well.

Major,

everything goes well.

Okay.

Junko!

What are you doing here?

I know you don't want to see me.

I am here to

ask you for a favor.

A favor from me?

Why should I help you?

Why?

Because we are colleagues,

alumni,

perhaps also working partners.

That's why I'm here to ask a favor.

Kurano Miyamoto.

I am not sure if anyone

has ever told you that

you look like a contemptible scoundrel

with the medal you're wearing.

Since General Sato

values you a lot,

wouldn't be easier for you

to ask him directly

if you can't solve it?

No need to ask for an insult from me here.

There must be some misunderstanding between us.

If it's because of Ye Chong,

I hope you could give me a chance

to explain it to you.

I don't have time,

and I don't want to listen, either.

I have never targeted Ye Chong.

Major Ye, as the empire's soldier,

has made wrong judgements

again and again

due to a Chinese woman.

No matter what the reason might be,

I won't let it happen

anymore.

As you know,

this issue

has been continued to deteriorate.

So I have to find out

He Ying's flaws.

This is for our empire,

also for you.

You know how I feel about you...

Stop here.

I am not interested in something else.

If you are here today

to discuss with me about

how to make He Ying

leave Ye Chong,

we could keep going.

Okay!

Let's talk about Ye Ying!

Brother-in-law!

The white phosphorus you need is all in here.

Thank you.

Uncle Wei and you must be careful!

These are all inflammable.

Don't worry.

After the ship departs from Hong Kong tonight,

this thing will come to an end.

Our focus next

should be

HK Nineth Branch.

Okay, I got it.

Right,

take these.

Plus the gold bars for selling jade,

you should be able to purchase that batch of guns.

Brother-in-law,

so many?

This...

What?

This is from Sister Xiang, right?

How do you know?

I...

I am just saying.

I guessed.

What is it exactly?

What are you doing?

I can't take them.

I have been really guilty to you.

I can't bully you anymore.

Bully who?

What do you mean?

Where did you get this?

This is your dowry

left by the late president.

How can I take it?

What dowry?

Cut the nonsense!

Chi Cheng, listen.

I will only marry

one man in my life,

and that's you.

If you don't marry me,

what's the point to keep a dowry?

I am sorry.

Mr. Chi,

I have never taken back what I gave away.

You don't want it, right?

I will dump it on streets for whoever wants it.

Jin Xiang.

Jin...

What are you doing?

Don't be capricious!

You know what?

If you don't take it,

that's bullying me.

Why are you doing this?

Everybody, get back to work!

Master,

there won't be any issue, right?

We have planned for the worst scenario.

The rest is guided by destiny.

Wei,

I will go to Xinghe Society,

and dispose the remaining white phosphorus.

You go to my office,

and dispose the related files.

Okay.

Major Ye.

Mr. Chi.

You've worked hard these days.

It is good that all supplies are settled down as expected.

General Sato

is giving a banquet at home

to appreciate you.

Please forward my appreciation to General Sato.

I am exhausted these days.

I don't have the mood for it.

All right.

I will forward your words to him.

However,

I don't think

this is a sound reason.

Actually, you could say

you celebrated with President Jin

and got drunk.

I don't get it.

What do you mean?

Don't you want to see

President Jin?

She is waiting for you outside now.

But this time,

I didn't made the decision for you.

Such a beautiful day,

I will leave you to it.

Though the batch of supplies is delivered,

we need speed up

on the new batch of order.

You should alternate work with rest,

don't drain yourself.

Thank you.

What happened?

I ask you for something.

What for?

Follow me to a place now.

Where to?

Cut the crap!

I am your creditor now.

Just follow me.

Did you remember this place

that you saved me last time?

Time flies.

It has been two years.

It also has been two years

since you were back in Hong Kong.

Jin Xiang.

What do you need from me?

Nothing.

Can't I have a chat with you without anything urgent?

I have a lot...

I know.

I understand you are busy.

I understand you have a lot of business to deal with.

But now,

only today,

can I just

take a little bit time

from you?

I am sorry.

Xue Ping?

Teacher!

Long time no see!

Are you expecting anyone?

No need to explain.

Are you going to

sink in Xinghe Society

have I not came

to talk to you?

No, teacher.

I just...

just haven't got

any new findings to report to you.

Well.

Are your eyes

covered?

Or there are some other reasons

that make you fear to

face those new findings?

No.

I really didn't find anything.

Here is the thing,

Tang Feng goes out early and come back late.

I am not able to follow him.

Even after he comes back,

he is not willing to disclose

his job to me.

That means

he doesn't trust you anymore.

Well...

You should leave Xinghe Society.

No, teacher. I...

You don't want to leave,

right?

I have told you so many times,

having affections

causes a great danger,

especially for women.

Alright.

Since you are not willing to leave Tang Feng,

well,

then you should give me a legitimate reason to stay.

You need let me know

the value of leaving you there.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Keep waiting then!

The ship has departed from Hong Kong, right?

Yes, it has departed.

Actually Mr. Chi has done some hard work.

The Japanese wouldn't roust him, right?

No matter what,

I will try my best to help him.

Hello?

What?

Ask Miyamoto

to come to my office right now.

Japanese Military Government's vessels

exploded last night on the sea!

All supplies are destroyed!

Japanese Military Government's vessels

exploded last night on the sea!

All supplies are destroyed!

Give me one.

Here you are.

One for me.

Okay!

Sir!

General Sato asked me to investigate this issue

and find out the cause of the fire.

How's Kawaji Maru now?

Nothing left,

all detroyed in the explosion.

Have you questioned the injured on that ship?

Yes, I have.

It exploded at midnight,

the injured were patrol soldiers on the rest navy ships.

They didn't know anything.

How about Tao Zongbo?

Where is he?

He lost contact with us for a while.

Go find Blue Panther.

I need to see Tao Zongbo.

In addition,

go to the clothing factory now

to get some workers here

and interrogate them.

Yes, sir.

Chong,

I found out the person behind Blue Panther.

I bet you don't know who he is.

Who is he?

While he serves Miyamoto,

he serves Hong Kong BIS's

Chief Tao too.

I am here to pay for bills.

I don't think I have recently

sold you anything.

Mr. Bern is forgetful.

The news about Ng Tung Bay Poets' Club

is absolutely true.

There are underground Communists

among those students.

You earned this.

Mr. Chi.

Take a look!

I don't get it.

The issue occurs when the ship from Hong Kong

arrives Shanghai.

Why did Miyamoto

take my workers from my factory to interrogate?

I am confused, too.

Miyamoto took them away.

I'm sure you can

find the answer from him.

You clearly know that

Miyamoto has a tremendous prejudice

against me and my factory.

I don't believe he could

give me a fair explanation.

Mr. General,

I hope you don't forget

this factory

doesn't only belong to me.

It belongs to us.

Its existence

is to bring us

greater benefits, right?

As you know about Miyamoto,

he squares accounts in every detail.

I guess

there might be some misunderstandings here.

Misunderstandings?

He is interrogating my workers right now.

They are just labours for the empire.

I really can't understand

what kind of misunderstandings could be here.

Mr. Chi,

calm down.

Calm down.

Actually do you really need

that many hands in your factory?

At our producing unit,

workers are exceeding.

The group is getting bigger.

Don't you think

it is the perfect time now

to cut off some wastes?

No, you are wrong.

Let me tell you, firstly,

I do need this many people.

Secondly,

I selected them very carefully.

I can recall that you talked about spirits of contract with me.

These spirits of contract means coming into effect.

I wish you could follow

what we have agreed upon earlier.

No military controls.

No oppressions.

No deaths.

Time has changed.

But Mr. Chi,

no matter what,

there should be an explanation for the explosion.

I have a condition.

What condition?

Once it's done,

the debt between you and me

must be written off.

And there's no debts of gratitude

between you and me anymore.

No more in the future, either.

I hope

you understand it.

There's one more.

You may have misunderstood.

You have thought

exchanges between us are unfair,

but they have been very fair.

You won't be granted an amnesty

from someone else rather than me.
