[The Justice]

[Episode 38]

You produce,

then stop,

and then produce again,

over and over again.

What are you doing?

How about I ask the Army Headquarters's accountant

to look into it?

Miss Ning,

I'm afraid you have misunderstanding

about our factory affairs.

Whether we produce or stop production,

we are just

trying to make profits.

What's wrong with us?

That sounds fine.

But let me remind you,

does the amount of Wenquan cooling ointment

in circulation

match

the amount of shipments in your books?

And those merchants

who buy goods from you

are shell companies

that close down

after the transaction.

It appears to be cooling ointment,

but in fact it's antimicrobial.

I think I'm

making myself clear.

Zhou Wenquan,

because of our former affection,

I'll give you one more chance.

I want 2,000 Wenquan Cooling Ointments

to be produced at the end of the month.

If you challenge me again,

I'll knock you out of

the factory.

What? Do you want to beat me up?

You're shameless.

Director Zhou.

I can't believe I ever had a crush on her.

I can't believe I ever loved her.

Director Zhou.

I want to kill her.

It's all her fault.

She

drove a wedge between Cheng Yizhi and me.

After I broke up with her,

she hooked up with Leizi.

She's shameless.

Director Zhou.

I won't give them the antimicrobial,

even if I die.

Give it to her.

Chief Wu, they are traitors.

But they

won't give the antimicrobial to the Japanese.

Who will they give it to?

They want to sell antimicrobials

to the rear

and make exorbitant profits.

Are you sure?

There must be something fishy

about the production order Ning gave us.

Think about it.

If the antimicrobial was for the Japanese,

Leizi

would have given the account books to the Army Headquarters.

But why did Ning

intimidate us

by censoring us

with the Army Headquarters' accountant?

We have the antimicrobial.

And they aren't going to tell the Japanese about it.

So, Director Zhou,

since we're going to send

the antimicrobials to the rear,

we'll do

what Ning said.

So...

So do we just let them make a fortune from disaster?

No, we don't.

We'll take advantage of them.

Leizi is our enemy,

but Ning is not.

We need her help.

Impossible.

She won't

help us at all.

Don't you see through her yet?

Master.

Since March, I've sent telegrams

to Feng Youru for many times,

but received no reply.

I wonder if the channel is wrong.

If Feng Youru wanted to reply,

the channel would not be wrong.

I guess

he's in collusion with Leizi.

Leizi?

Why does Leizi aim at Rebang?

Rebang has many industries

and sufficient supplies.

As long as he cooperates with Feng Youru

and smuggles goods to the rear at a high price,

he can make a fortune.

By doing so,

isn't he afraid of being discovered by Liu Erlang?

He gave Liu Erlang

so many pounds.

He must be reluctant.

If he doesn't earn it back,

he may not be able to sleep or eat well.

Master, since he's taken a dangerous path,

we'll have a chance.

Take it easy.

Cheng Yizhi hasn't done anything yet.

Got it?

Director Zhou,

if you had been so sensible earlier,

we could have saved a lot of time.

Miss Ning,

Director Zhou has already figured out

that in such a situation,

he should be humble.

He will also ensure

the production schedule

and scale.

Take ten boxes right away

and send them to Dr. Lu for ingredient testing.

Get out.

Chief Kawano.

I'll arrange it.

OK.

I'm going to blush if you say that again.

Cheers, Miss Lily.

Mr. Cheng, glad to see you.

Is Mr. Wan also here for a drink?

Come on,

pour wine for Mr. Wan.

No need.

We have plenty of wine.

But there's only one Miss Lily.

You're out of luck.

If nothing else,

it's a matter of

first come,

first served.

Mr. Cheng.

I'm not the one who wants to invite Ms. Lily,

but Chief Kawano is waiting for her.

Any smuggling of controlled articles

will be punished severely.

Mr. Cheng.

How about you sit here for a while?

I...

Since you want to drink,

let's go together.

Why don't you leave?

Are you waiting for me to slap you again?

The more you act like this,

the worse he hurts.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Do you think when you defected to the Japanese army,

he wouldn't be disappointed in you?

Do you think

when you make out with Leizi,

he wouldn't feel painful?

Do you think

he's completely forgotten about you?

Do you think he has forgotten

about your relationship?

If you were trying to see him angry,

you got your way.

But why do you want to see it?

Because you want to prove that he still loves you,

just like you still love him.

Shut up.

But I want to tell you,

don't give up love

for your

distorted self-esteem.

Of course,

if you insist,

I wish

you would never regret.

Wu Lizi.

In these extraordinary times,

we don't know how long we can live.

If at this time

you still don't grasp

your true feelings,

you'll regret for the rest of your life.

Ning thought

she was hiding it well,

but Lizi still saw her through.

What she's doing now

is to protect Zhou Wenquan.

Chief Kawano.

You're early today.

How lovely.

Mr. Kawano,

Miss Lily

is being occupied by

this Mr. Cheng.

I think he should make amends to you.

I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Man.

Chief Kawano

is having a good time here.

If I make amends for no reason,

won't I spoil the mood?

I thought who Mr. Cheng was.

It's you.

Mr. Kawano.

Mr. Cheng is in charge of the Rebang Bank.

He has cotton yarn factory

and pharmaceutical factory.

He deals with

controlled supplies.

Mr. Cheng, please sit down.

Thank you.

Mr. Cheng,

you can't sit down.

Mr. Liang forgot.

But you

haven't forgotten, have you?

Chief Kawano.

The Rebang Bank

has been taken over

by Major General Liu.

And Mr. Cheng

has been dismissed.

Chief Kawano invited me to sit down,

reflecting his cultivation

and manners.

But you two are really interesting.

Chief Kawano

specializes in Shanghai's trade and commerce.

So how could he not know

about the situation of Rebang?

Mr. Cheng,

you're too serious.

We are all old friends.

I'm just kidding.

Come on.

-Let's have a drink. -Just kidding.

Chief Kawano,

I'd like to propose a toast to you.

Excuse me.

Isn't that

Dr. Xu,

an old friend of Mr. Cheng?

Why? Did he ignore you?

Dr. Xu

is different now.

He's a senior advisor to the Ministry of Greater East Asia.

Even Director Matsumura

favors him.

I'm afraid Mr. Cheng

is out of his league.

Come on.

Come on. Have a drink.

Chief Kawano.

I've got some news.

There is

Caravaggio's self-portrait

on the market.

Caravaggio?

What's the price?

I haven't seen it in person,

so I haven't asked for a quote.

If you're interested,

I'll take a look at it for you.

Thank you, Dr. Xu.

I'm going back.

Dr. Xu Shu.

Mr. Cheng.

It's been a long time.

Let's have a drink, OK?

Sure.

Two whiskies, please.

OK.

Why didn't you go to Rebang

when you went back to Shanghai?

It's my fault.

I'm busy with my work,

so I don't have time to visit.

That's OK.

We met here anyway.

I heard that you are

working in the China Affairs Bureau, right?

Yes.

How's it going?

Very well.

By the way,

thanks to you,

Lizi and I are back together.

She got the letter

you wrote to her.

You encouraged her to pursue bravely

and never give up.

But that day

we heard the sad news

of your death at sea.

She was heartbroken,

and I was enlightened at that moment.

At that time,

the only thought I had

was that we should

live well

and not let you down.

I'm afraid I have to take my leave.

Madam, I want to make two dresses.

Mrs. Matsuda heard that

you have good fabrics

and skills,

so she sent me here to place an order.

It's all about tailoring.

I haven’t seen her,

so how can I make them?

Please take care of it.

Here are Mrs. Matsuda's measurements.

Just make them

according to the measurements.

Very detailed.

However,

there are dozens of styles

and multifarious fabrics.

I really can't make them.

Mrs. Matsuda has instructed that

the style should be front placket, stand collar,

bud-shaped long sleeves, and knee length wrap dress,

and the fabric should be black tweed with dark pattern.

If there is no dark pattern,

black tweed is fine.

As for the time limit,

please make sure that

on the 27th,

the goods are delivered to Laurie's warehouse at the wharf.

The price is negotiable.

Goodbye.

Yizhi, it's me.

I received an order for occidental dress.

I think there's something strange.

[Hemei Hotel]

Bro, what brings you here?

Heart-shaped Face.

Sit down.

Heart-shaped Face, I'm asking you.

You must tell me the truth.

Will you ship the goods

to the rear at the end of the month?

Bro,

We have rules.

I can't tell you.

That's it.

What's in the shipment?

Bro,

I really can't tell you.

Don't give me a hard time.

Heart-shaped Face.

You've grown up and are doing well.

I don't think you are short-sighted,

nor will you

collude with Feng Youru.

Am I right?

Well.

Bro, what exactly do you mean?

OK, I'll tell you.

I followed an object

all the way

to Laurie's warehouse.

I know the two merchant ships Laurie

and Frey

are related to you,

so I came to ask you.

What exactly is hidden

in your shipment?

Do you know it?

Do you know that

there are forbidden goods in your shipment?

Forbidden goods?

No,

it's absolutely impossible.

All the goods I shipped

are important A-class supplies.

I risk my life to deliver

whatever the people lack.

I risk my life to deliver

whatever the soldiers lack.

How could there be forbidden goods?

High-grade western-style clothes

are precious luxuries that are strictly forbidden

to be shipped to the rear, aren't they?

Yes, you're right.

Well, you got some in your shipment.

Not the normal ones.

But the special ones

ordered by General Secretary Han's wife.

God damn it.

I risk my life

to send them medicines.

What the heck are they doing to me?

And do you know

where the medicines come from?

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Heart-shaped Face,

there's no way

that you don't know

what is hidden in your shipment.

Zhou Wenquan is scared of you.

Once you get angry, he dares not to do anything tricks.

It's not me that he's afraid of.

It's the Army Headquarters

that really scares him.

What a coward.

Thank God he's a coward.

Otherwise, things won't be easily done.

Two thousand boxes of antibiotics will make quite an influence.

What are you going to do with them?

It's all set, rest assured.

How could I?

Every time I mention this,

you would change the subject.

You don't trust me, right?

In order to get you

the order of the Army Headquarters,

I've gone through so much trouble.

It's for your protection.

The more you know, the more dangerous your will face.

Such precious goods,

they will definitely go to the rear.

The rear?

Shipping and land transportation are all under strict control.

What are you going to do?

This month is not yet over.

As for what I will do,

I will think about it carefully.

Well, be careful.

Don't get caught.

I know exactly who you like.

The handsome Dr. Xu.

Every time he's here, you can't take your eyes off him.

Nonsense.

He's nowhere near you.

Really?

He got Director Matsumura to back him up.

Not like me.

I only got Chief Kawano.

Is that really enough for you?

You cheapskate.

Well, men spend money here

to hear you sing.

If you really like Dr. Xu,

I won't ask for you in the future.

Lest we get into a fight for you.

Honestly, I don't like Dr. Xu.

He's not like you.

You would like to make me happy.

Indeed he's generous in tipping me.

But he's not romantic at all.

All he knows is to

talk about business with Director Matsumura.

I don't believe you.

With such a beauty accompanying him,

how could he spare his mind for business?

Of course he can!

Talking about something new

and something old.

Like some secret passwords.

I can't understand any of them.

Such a boring guy.

Once,

he was talking about something that came from the palace,

and I was thinking I should say something.

So I asked him, what came from the palace?

Guess what, he glanced at me,

like I was some thief!

What a stupid guy.

It's such a shame.

Ms. Lili.

Just as Cheng Yizhi expected,

Xu Shu returned with a purpose.

Looks like his real mission

is about protecting the national treasure.

He can help Xu Shu,

and maybe, Xu Shu can also help him.

Mr. Cheng,

to be honest,

among all the guests,

I like you the most.

It's true.

I can swear to you.

There's no need to swear.

Tonight,

come home with me.

You naughty boy.

Let's go.

Where do you want to go?

Anywhere.

Then let's go for a ride.

If the boss finds

that I go out with you,

he would be so mad at me.

It's still not too late to go back.

I won't.

I'm not scared of him.

That's not why I go out with you.

I know.

That's why you must take the money.

Mr. Cheng,

what do you mean?

If someone asks you

what we did and talked about

tonight.

You should tell them

that we did everything,

but we talked about nothing.

Ms. Lili,

if you can help me with this,

from now on,

I will no longer be your guest,

but your friend.

Today,

I'm here to

talk with you

about shipping the collection to Japan.

Dr. Xu Shu,

sorry, I'm late.

Dr. Xu Shu hasn't introduced me

to Director Matsumura, right?

Director Matsumura,

this is Mr. Cheng Yizhi.

Director Matsumura, nice to meet you.

I'm an old friend of Dr. Xu Shu.

He called me here

to talk about

the antiques.

Please, have a seat.

I've consulted Mr. Cheng.

Director Matsumura and I

have a friend,

who wants to ship some collections

to Japan.

Mr. Cheng thinks

it is inappropriate.

How come?

Well, there are too many antique collectors.

Some of them managed to buy antiques,

but the others didn't.

Those who didn't have the antiques

would pay extra attention to them.

Once the information of these antiques,

during the process of shipment,

are leaked out.

And someone knows

that this antique

is right in the hands of your friends,

then I'm afraid there will be much trouble.

We do need to think twice about this.

Besides, long-distance transport

might damage the collection.

If we can find a safe place

to keep the antiques.

Then it's the safest way

for these antiques to stay in Shanghai.

No wonder Dr. Xu

called me here to talk about the antiques.

You want to use the vault of my bank, right?

The vault?

Well, Mr. Cheng

is the general manager of Rebang Bank.

Using the vault of his bank is an option.

Rebang Bank?

Are you talking about

the one well-known

to the industrial circles?

Director Matsumura, you flattered me.

It's just,

I'm afraid that I have to disappoint you.

I have already

resigned from

the general manager of Rebang Bank.

I'm afraid I no longer have the right

to lend you the vault.

Cheng,

why would you resign?

Well, that's not what I want.

The Second Division of Army Staff Headquarters

is now supervising Rebang Bank.

Major General Liu Erlang

asked me to resign from the general manager.

So I have to resign

and make place for the new general manager.

It's just the new general manager...

Mr. Cheng, are you not satisfied with the new one?

It's not like that.

It's just the new general manager

doesn't know anything about industry.

Major General Liu's tough style

is well known to the Army Headquarters.

But he's been too confident.

Never mind, forget about them.

If your friend isn't in a hurry,

I would like to help you

find a safe place for the antiques.

I don't have a job now,

so I have plenty of time.

Then I'll trust you on this, Cheng.

That's the least I can do.

I got good news.

I got good news, too.

You go first.

You go first.

Ning didn't trust Zhou Wenquan.

She said

that Leizi

is working with Feng Youru.

And he made her forge an order,

trying to sell the medicines to the rear

and taking profit from it.

How would he transport and sell the medicines?

Does she know the transport method?

She doesn't.

But she's going to find it out.

She suggests that we should

tell the Army Headquarters about the order,

and let Liu Erlang fight with Leizi.

In this way, you can come back.

If it's just a fake order,

Leizi can easily get out of it.

Besides,

the rear does need antibiotics.

Two thousand boxes, it's a worth taking risk.

So you still want to

help Leizi to get the medicines out, right?

On the one side,

we need to convert

Leizi's bad intention into a good deed.

On the other side,

if I want to get back to the bank,

I'll have to bring down Leizi

and Liu Erlang.

Liu Erlang

won't cave in easily.

That's why I want to tell you

the second good news.

Xu Shu is alive.

What?

He is now

working with the Japanese.

He got his own mission.

The Japanese are not as unified as they look.

Everyone knows that.

Maybe I can take advantage of this

to get back to Rebang.

Xu Shu no longer

needs my protection.

So, maybe,

it's time for him

to help me.

Lizi,

I will be back.

Wait for me.

I will.

Ms. Lizi,

here's the manuscript of Mr. Chopin for you.

I believe, you and I, will become close friends.

[Pharmaceutical Ingredient Test Sheet]

The rest eight hundred boxes of cooling ointment

have all been packaged.

Please have a look, Miss Ning.

So far,

all the orders

of the First Division of Army Staff Headquarters

are done.

Select ten boxes randomly

and send them to Dr. Lu

to examine the ingredients.

Yes.

I'll leave you.

I should go to the...

Chief Wu,

I'll go back to my office.

Director Zhou.

I've told him.

He knows that you are helping us.

Maybe,

he just needs some time.

Well, I know him,

he won't easily

forgive me.

Right, I need to talk to you.

Lei Daming still doesn't trust me.

The destination

and the transport method of the medicines,

no matter what I say,

he just won't tell me.

I couldn't find out either.

But, I think

he will take action within a week.

[Tomb of Lu Caifu]

[Tomb of Lu Caifu]

Mrs. Lu said

that every year this time,

you would visit Professor Lu's grave.

Before I left Shanghai,

all I want is to serve my country.

I participated in an assassination.

But the operation got exposed.

There were a dozen people in this mission,

only I survived.

That's when I realized

that foolhardiness has no use.

Back then,

I watched the Japanese army

ruin Shanghai.

I was so puzzled and ashamed

that I even wanted to jump into the sea and die.

At that moment,

an old woman came and talked to me.

Her voice is so kind and loving.

Young man,

if you are not even afraid of death,

then why don't you dedicate yourself

into the most heroic

deeds.

Then, the ship arrived in Hong Kong,

and I followed her there.

That woman is Mrs. Lu.

She shares the same belief

with Professor Lu.

Later,

I met some people

who are better than me

both in talent and courage.

We studied together.

I returned this time

just because of

Mrs. Lu.

I worked with the Japanese

and helped her

as much as I can.

I hope, one day,

I'll become someone like her.

You made such amazing progress.

In the past,

people can easily

read your mind.

But right now,

not even I

can tell what you are thinking.

Maybe,

as long as you have a high aim,

you will grow deep.

That's why

I dare to

go meet Director Matsumura.

It was a rush move, but you helped me.

Matsumura

has decided

not to bring the collections back to Japan.

There are national treasures in his collection.

In my opinion,

there are at least four pieces.

You also helped me.

You understood from the beginning

that I want to go back to Rebang.

Of course I know.

Will Matsumura help?

Matsumura has long been disdaining the Army Headquarters.

As long as there's a chance,

he will definitely bring Liu Erlang down.

Sir,

the last eight hundred boxes are all done.

Sir,

the twenty samples

examined by Dr. Lu

are all qualified.

Deliver them right now.

Yes.

Should I keep an eye on him?

No need, he knows what he's doing.

I need to go to Nanjing tomorrow.

When I'm not here,

don't flirt with other women.

Well, I can't promise that.

How about canceling your trip?

Right,

did you burn the order?

Of course.

Oh, why are you here?

Xu Shu told me

that Liu Erlang wants him to find

manuscripts of composers.

He said it's for you.

Liu Erlang has been here, right?

I drove him away.

With this?

With death.

Dou, you've started

without me, huh?

I thought

general manager Lei couldn’t get here until midnight.

Dou, please don't say that.

If it weren't for your

good words in front of Major General Liu,

I would never become

the general manager.

Lei,

then again,

Major General Liu cares very much

about Rebang Bank.

The antibiotics selling to the rear

need to be carefully handled.

Don't mess it up.

Rest assured.

They are already on the way.

Besides, Feng Youru

will never let anything go wrong.
