[Love in Flames of War]

[Episode 34]

[Jiade Apartment]

Shuyi.

Long time no see,

Yanqing.

Long time no see.

Is Hanjun not home?

She's out

for the reading party at Women's Library.

Oh, what a pity!

Shuyi,

looks like you've changed a lot.

Time changes everything, after all.

I've grown up.

You've got married, too.

I came

to apologize on behalf of Beichen.

He disturbed you and your wife.

I was to blame, too.

I was too impulsive.

But I really don't understand

what was wrong with Beichen

and why he behaved so weirdly that night.

When you see this,

you will understand.

It's Hanjun.

No.

It's Beichen's wife,

Lin Hangjing.

What?

How... How come?

Five years ago, Hangjing died in a fire.

Beichen loves her most.

That's why he made a scene that night.

How come?

In this world,

why is there such a weird thing?

Why do they look so alike?

Yanqing,

I'm here to ask you something.

You know

that Beichen has always respected you

and trusted you.

So, no matter what happens,

you will not disappoint him

or deceive him, right?

I won't, of course.

I'm glad to hear that.

I'm done talking.

I'll take my leave.

Sorry, Shuyi.

Reverend,

may I smoke here?

Sorry,

but we don't need gunfire yet.

Migrant Bird,

I'm seeing you at last.

Mr. Ding,

I'm glad to cooperate with you.

I came to Beixin City

with the main mission

to rule Japanese companies

out of the bidding for Beixin Port.

Beixin Port is rather important.

We mustn't let Japanese guys construct it.

Hope you will assist me.

During the bidding,

what do you need me to do?

Having led the secret
patriotic organization in Beixin City,

you're familiar with the city
and well-connected.

So, during the bidding,

I want you to keep an eye

on Sato and Yamato Co., Ltd.

If they do anything unusual,

always keep me informed.

Meanwhile, please check out

where Sato and his men usually go,

who they often contact,

and how their posts turn over.

Due to the special condition of our Party,

we have to keep the conversation between us.

Please don't let anyone else know about it.

I won't.

Please rest assured.

I know in recent years,

YMCA has done a good job in Beixin City.

But things aren't the way they were.

Killing

some Japanese and traitors

will not shake the foundation of our enemy.

Instead, it will put us in danger.

So, what we need is

a long-term operational plan.

We welcome all aspiring young men

who share the same ideas and goals.

Hope one day,

we will become real comrades.

Thank you.

Your expectation is mine, too.

I'll carefully chew on your suggestion.

How time flies!

It's been five years

since we garrisoned in Suiling.

Yeah.

Particularly in simply two years,

the Northern Expedition Army,

with only one hundred thousand soldiers,

smashed all Beiyang troops

with several hundred thousand soldiers.

Why do you think the Northern Expedition Army

won with fewer soldiers?

They offered generous rewards, obviously.

Generous rewards rouse one to heroism.

If senior officers

embezzled the pay for soldiers,

what kind of soldiers would like to fight?

I wouldn't, anyway.

The Northern Expedition Army won

because soldiers were united
with the same goal.

But Beiyang troops...

Go inform the third battalion. Go.

Aye.

They only wanted to take advantage.

It doesn't matter who the winner is.

Anyway, nearly all armies
have changed their allegiances.

Now they believe in
the Three People's Principles.

Yeah. Everyone has faith now.

But the faith is no longer what it was.

They embezzle public funds

for promotion and fortune.

They even fight each other

for dictatorship.

Who can really realize

Mr. Sun's great unity?

Migrant Bird,

Mr. Tang in our army is very kind.

He's progressive-minded

with a clean background.

After a long observation,
I haven't found his bad habits.

I highly recommend him.
Hope you'll approve it.

Here we are.

Thank you. See you, my lady.

Ms. Sheng.

Mr. Xiao? What's up?

Can I have a word with you?

Ms. Sheng,

I'd like to apologize to you

for my rudeness.

I was so excited

that I mistook you for my wife.

Hope you and Yanqing

can forgive me.

It's okay, Deputy Commander.

I know why you forgot your manners.

Your sister Shuyi visited Yanqing.

Honestly, if I hadn't seen
the photo of your wife

with my own eyes,

I could hardly believe

that a woman in China and I

looked so alike.

I mistook you for my wife

only because of your face.

If she knew it,

she would be very sad.

Mr. Xiao, don't blame yourself.

I think when your wife knows

you still miss her

over so many years,

she'll feel happy in heaven.

She hates me.

I blamed her wrongly.

Her death is

the greatest punishment for me.

I regret it all my life, too.

I want to make it up.

But there's nothing I can do.

Ms. Sheng,

if you were her,

would you give your husband

a chance to fix everything?

Now that she and I are different souls,

my answer will not be referential.

But I wouldn't give my ex-boyfriends

a second chance to make a mistake.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have met Yanqing.

So, Mr. Xiao,

I think you should move on.

Life has to go on, right?

Maybe you and your life

suffered a lot.

But I think you should have a new relationship

and a new wife,

instead of being stuck in the past.

I get it.

Thank you.

Deputy Commander.

Here's your coffee.

Ms. Sheng,

when did you learn the oil painting?

When I was ten.

In St Paul's Girls' School,

my oil paintings are still on display.

Beichen?

There you are.

You should have told me.

You're back?

Yes.

Yanqing,

I come to apologize to you.

I was too impulsive that night.

Don't bother to apologize.

What's gone is gone.

I've got some red wine.

Let's get hammered tonight.

Mother.

Mother.

Ke.

Come and say hello.

Why didn't you say hello?

- Uncle,
- How impolite you are.

my mother asked me to take the medicine.

But I don't want it. I just don't.

What are you doing?

Zhang, someone doesn't take his medicine.

Here I am, ma'am.

Bad boy.

Mother, don't cheat in hide-and-seek.

Ke, say hello to Uncle Xiao.

Uncle.

Yanqing,

I didn't know you had a son.

I didn't get a chance to tell you that.

He's Shen Ke, three and a half years old.

Come on, son.

Sing a song for Uncle Xiao.

What about an English song?

Dashing through the snow,

in a one horse open sleigh.

Over the fields we go,

laughing all the way.

What a beautiful song! Good boy.

Mother, Father praised me.

You should reward me with an ice cream.

I want an ice cream.

If you have too many ice creams,

you'll have a bellyache.

How about some orange juice?

Okay.

Don't spoil him.

Orange juice will cause a bellyache, too.

- Yanqing...
- Oh, no.

Let me drink some orange juice.

I'm sorry.

Fine, then.

I've got something else to attend to.

Let's meet some other day.

Aren't we supposed to have dinner together?

I've got some military business.

Thank you for your invitation.

Let's take a rain check.

But Beichen...

Deputy Commander...

Ke,

let's go drink some orange juice.

Mother. Mother.

Yanqing.

You're awake?

To be honest,

I've never seen Beichen

look so lonely before.

I can tell that he's very sad.

Sad?

No matter how sad he is,

I couldn't get back my unborn child.

Hangjing,

we made many preparations

before we came here.

But only when I am here

can I realize

that your experience is

too miserable to bear.

You haven't officially joined us yet.

If you find it hard to continue,

I can apply...

Yanqing,

I know since you heard about the bidding,

you've been trying

to infiltrate the East Camp

to get to know how the Xiao Family
treats the Japanese.

However, the East Camp is monolithic.

Du Heng is garrisoning Suling, too.

I know very well

that I'm the only one
who can approach Xiao Beichen.

Don't worry.

Now that I agreed to come back,

I won't let personal feelings

hold up our mission.

Beichen,

an order sent by telegraph.

[Migrant Bird, leader of the Communist Party in Zhibei Delta
has arrived in Beixin City. We're asked to get rid of him.]

Reply to them

that we're aware of the order.

Migrant Bird,

leader of the Communist Party in Zhibei Delta

has arrived in Beixin City.

We're asked to get rid of him.

Exactly.

Our top priority

must be given to nothing,

but the construction of Beixin Port.

I will not

search the city to help someone

who has a political view against mine.

Besides,

I won't allow the massacre in Shanghai

to happen in Beixin City.

Just reply to them
that we're aware of the order.

All right.

Tomorrow,

transfer Li away for some days.

Tell him that he'll be regularly paid.

Fine.

Mr. Xiao.

Madam Qi.

I've been back for some days.

But I was too busy

to visit you before.

It's very impolite of me.

Don't say that.

A young man like you

should focus on his career.

That's right.

Madam Qi, Mr. Xiao,

let me introduce her to you.

This is my wife Sheng Hanjun.

Hello, Commander Xiao and Mrs. Xiao.

Madam Qi, it's a western way of greeting.

Hanjun is very happy to see you.

I'm sorry.

I forgot that Chinese people
didn't get used to hugs.

Commander Xiao, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Yanqing, you're quite lucky.

Ms. Sheng is such a beautiful girl.

If I didn't see you with my own eyes,

I could hardly believe that.

You and Hangjing look really alike.

Deputy Commander Xiao

has shown me that

in all kinds of violent ways.

Hanjun,

don't tease me so.

Let's not stand here. Let's take our seats.

Okay. Come on.

This way, please.

Go.

Here, Hanjun.

Hanjun,

you grew up in Europe,

but you can use chopsticks so well.

When I was in Europe at a young age,

my grandpa often said

that we were Chinese.

So, we usually had Chinese meals at home.

How time flies!

Even Yanqing has got married.

I wonder

how you got to know each other.

Madam Qi,

Hanjun was in college at that time.

She and her classmates of the studio

went out sketching near the manor I lived in.

I remember

everyone else was doing
a landscape painting carefully.

But she was painting a fight between two dogs.

I noticed her immediately.

Come on.

Didn't you say you were also
an oil painting lover

so that you asked me to appraise the paintings

from time to time?

You turned a cold shoulder

to such an excellent admirer like me.

I had to try something new.

Ms. Sheng,

which city of the UK did you live in?

London.

London?

I hear about many interesting things
in London.

Ben what?

Madam Qi,

it's Big Ben.

It's the landmark of London.

It strikes every hour.

Every time it strikes,

the sound reverberates

along the Thames.

Coincidentally,

my grandfather's company

lies by the Thames, too.

When I was little, I often went there

and watched the adults

trade stocks seriously. So boring.

It wasn't even as interesting

as feeding the pigeons in the square.

You two make a perfect match.

Now, Yanqing looks like

a very elegant man.

But when he was little,

he did countless naughty things

together with Beichen.

Right?

Come on.

Yanqing is grown up.

Don't tease him in front of his wife.

It doesn't matter, Madam Qi.

Hanjun likes to hear funny stories

of my childhood.

Thank you

for entertaining us.

We had a great day.

What are you talking about, Yanqing?

We're a family.

By the way,

I want a favor

from you and Hanjun.

What is it? Spit it out.

The bidding for Beixin Port has just started.

We have to contact foreigners.

For some family issues,

my secretary

quit his job.

I hear Hanjun can speak three languages.

So, I want her to help me.

Umm...

Yanqing,

are you still angry because I offended you?

Beichen, don't get me wrong.

You explained to me

why you lost your temper.

I fully understand your feelings at that time.

However, Hanjun

loves freedom
and doesn't want to be unrestrained.

A secretary has to be circumspect.

I'm afraid she isn't qualified for this job.

Time is pressing.

Or I wouldn't ask you for help hastily.

The secretary has to speak English

and be trustworthy.

I can think of no one,

but your wife Hanjun.

But...

It's okay, Yanqing.

He asked me for the favor, anyway.

I'm living an idle life, too.

I can help him.

Fine, then.

That'd be great.

But before I go to work,

I have some requests.

Hope you can understand.

I will. I'm all ears.

First,

I have to do morning exercises

and take care of my son every day.

So, I want

flexible working hours.

Of course. Anything else?

As a newcomer,

I'm not familiar with the East Camp.

If I make a mistake,

don't lose your temper or scold me.

Don't tell Yanqing on me, either.

I don't dare to. Any more requests?

I won't work for you free of charge.

I don't want a pay, anyway.

But you must give Yanqing
exclusive news reports.

What do you think?

I work for you in exchange for exclusive news.

A good bargain, isn't it?

Hanjun,

even if he doesn't give me the exclusive news,

I can get it in some other way.

Are you suspecting

your husband's capability?

You know I don't mean that.

All right.

I promise you.

For any process of the bidding,

I'll give Yanqing the exclusive news.

Okay. It's a deal, then.

Hope we'll cooperate very well.

Okay.

See you at the East Camp
at eight tomorrow morning.

Why did you forget my request already?

Flexible working hours.

I'll be expecting you at any time.

All right, Beichen.

We'll take our leave.

See you. Let's go, Hanjun.

You saw her.

She is totally different from Hangjing.

Hangjing died in the fire.

She wouldn't come back to life.

We all miss Hangjing.

But we must

accept her death.

If Hangjing had feelings in heaven,

she wouldn't want you to be so guilty, right?

Listen to me.

Time to let it go.

Madam Qi,

I understand.

I know what I should do.

Go to bed early.

Yanqing, why are you still up?

I'm sleepless.

Hanjun, when I'm back here,

I realize that Beichen is more scheming

than I thought he was.

As far as I know him,

he wouldn't have calmed down so quickly

or easily believed your identity.

But he admitted that he got the wrong person.

I guess

he's pretending that he trusts us.

After you work for him,

he'll try every possible way to sound you out.

You can't be too careful.

I get it.

I won't get exposed.

You know

how I've gone through

all these years.

Hanjun,

you've had a hard time.

This is a tough mission.

You must play it by ear.

I'll keep it in mind.

Yanqing,

do you think

the Xiao Family will sign
the Mutual Prosperity Agreement

with the Japanese?

Judging from Beichen alone,

I believe he won't.

But his father is the Commander-in-Chief
of Ying Army.

He decides the final attitude of his family.

I lived with his family for many years.

And I know Uncle Xiao very well.

He will never betray our nation for glory.

But he always follows Jin Cheng's lead.

You're right.

This time, Jin Cheng

proposed the international bidding

so that the Japanese can take part.

The Xiao Family didn't object, anyway.

We can hardly tell

if they're also involved

in the bribe-taking.

If Jin Cheng puts pressure on the Xiao Family

and they give the port construction
to the Japanese,

there will be consequences.

We can't let this happen.

Got it.

Mr. Han is our trustworthy partner.

When helping patriots,

he donated money many times.

Beixin Port won't be used by evil guys

unless it's constructed by Mr. Han.

Don't worry, Yanqing.

Focus on your work with YMCA.

I'll take care of Xiao Beichen.

I will try my best

to figure out his final decision.

All right.

Deputy Commander,
Ms. Sheng Hanjun has arrived.

There you are.

Come on in.

Deputy Commander, here I am.

I can work today.

Great.

What's my job, then?

Here.

This is

what you have to do.

Here are the proposals

for Beixin Port from all foreign companies.

Hope you'll translate them

and verify them

within a week

before they're sent to Hua Xing Hotel

for the experts' review.

Okay. No problem.

Anonymous selection?

Come on.

Let me show you your office area.

This is your desk.

Would you like

to try the typewriter first?

It works very well.

Good, then.

When you work here,

I'd like to call you Ms. Sheng.

Okay?

No problem.

Fine. Get to your business.

Beichen,

why did you suddenly invite Sheng Hanjun

to work for you?

I wondered why you
transferred away your secretary.

Beichen,

no offense,

but I have to say something.

Go ahead.

Similar things will easily confuse people

and affect their judgment.

Hangjing died.

Sheng Hanjun isn't Hangjing.

At this time,

a woman appears in Beixin City

and she looks like Hangjing.

Don't you suspect her?

I get your point.

I know what to do.

No matter what they're up,

we won't know until we test them.

Fine.

I'm glad to hear that.

Cunning Mo,

stop being suspicious.

Beichen knows it very well.

Don't you, Beichen?

You should have also been rewarded.

We're friends. Don't bother.

Sorry for that.

Is this a Japanese bonsai?

It was a big present

from Mr. Sato.

It's said to be precious.

Off you go.

Deputy Commander Xiao even gave him
a return present.

Sounds like Mr. Sato

is very close to Deputy Commander Xiao.

- Right.
- Ms. Sheng, you have quite a good mood.

With so much work,

why do you still have time for a talk?

I'm not loafing on the job.

I filed the documents

and borrowed a dictionary.

I can translate poorly

so that I have to use the dictionary.

It's modest of you, Ms. Sheng.

I read the documents you translated.

Very good.

You're indeed a top student
from a top university in the UK.

Mr. Mo, you're the go-to guy of the East Camp

that everybody thinks highly of.

It's my honor to be praised

by you.

You flatter me.

A guy like me has some confusion, too.

For example,

you and Hangjing look so alike.

How can Yanqing let you for Beichen

without concern?

Yanqing and Deputy Commander Xiao

grew up together.

Now that he needs help,

my husband and I will try our best

to help him.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of Beichen.

But I have to remind you, Ms. Sheng.

When you work for the military,

it's not a good thing

to be too curious.

Thank you for reminding me.

I'll do my best at work.

I'll leave you alone, then.

[Jiade Apartment]

What have you got?

Any new clues?

Xiao Beichen simply asked me

to translate some ordinary bidding proposals.

All proposals are anonymous.

So far, the process appears to be fair.

By the way,

I found some documents

of the business cooperation
between the East Camp and the Japanese.

But they're legal business approvals.

I didn't find any important clues

or the Mutual Prosperity Agreement.

Things can't be as simple as you expect.

You must calm down

and take your time.

I'll try later.

Here. Have some meat.

Thank you.

Sir, Ma'am,

today, a lady approached me

on purpose

and asked me about you.

Zhang, don't turn her away for the moment.

You know what you should

say or do.

Yes, Ma'am.

Leave us.

Is that lady sent by Xiao Beichen?

Perhaps.

But besides him,

someone else is more eager to know
who you are.

Well...

Can it be

Zheng Fengqi?

I won't rule her out.

As far as I know,

Zheng Fengqi is

getting very close to the Japanese.

[Zhibei Delta Army Headquarters
of the First Legion]

Beichen.

Here. A letter
from Jiangnan Ministry of Finance.

[Chenghua Bookstore]

[Chenghua Bookstore]
Shuyi,

[Chenghua Bookstore]

[Chenghua Bookstore]
let me help you.

Come on.

Xu Zijun?

Why are you here instead of in the East Camp?

I...

I just passed by

when I was driving someone.

Shuyi,

don't be so cold to me, okay?

Do you really not give me a chance?

I know you've been waiting for Yanqing.

It's okay. I can wait for you, too.

But it's been five years.

Yanqing got married and he has a son.

That's right.

It's been five years.

How many more years
are you going to waste on me?

Stop following me, all right?

Why don't you consider yourself?

Even if I no longer like Shen Yanqing,

I will not like you.

Shuyi,

do you really not care about me at all?

I've never cared about you.

[Beixin Orphanage]

[Beixin Orphanage]
Here.

[Beixin Orphanage]
Thank you.

[Beixin Orphanage]

Kids.

Shuyi.

Shuyi.

Shuyi.

Have you behaved well lately?

We have.

Look what I've brought you.

Jump rope, jump rope.

One, two, three, four.

Jump high, jump low.

Five, six, seven, eight. How long can you go?

Come on. One more time.

Jump rope, jump rope.

Like this.

Have you learned it?

Yes.

I was too rude.

My apologies.

Idiot.

Compared to Beichen and Cunning Mo,

I'm never a clever man.

But an idiot is always stubborn.

Are you ready?

Ready, go.

Jump rope, jump rope.
