[Episode 30]

Can you be reasonable?

Reasonable?

Being the commander of all Shanghai, can't I make a decision for the Mu family?

Do you really think I rely on you for a living?

Xuanlin.

Fine. I will not ask you.

I have other means.

What's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine?

Shuang'er, don't worry. Your new movie will definitely come out on time.

The Mu family won't help you.

But there are plenty of other people who will.

Everyone.

I, on behalf of the Command, promise to pay all the money back.

Please leave.

Shuang'er, let's go.

- Let's go. - Go.

Wanqing, why did Commander Tan behave like that?

I don't know. He has been so cold these days.

Today was even worse.

For Gu Yueshuang's movie, he even scolded me in front of so many people.

You can leave now. I want to stay alone for a while.

Okay. I'll go.

Don't be upset.

Young Uncle, what you did to Miss Mu went too far.

Aren't you afraid that she will not speak to you again?

She'd better leave me alone.

Attention! Turn around!

Get on the truck!

[Accounts File]

I hope we can work well together.

Thanks all the same.

See you next time.

[Paris Movie Theater]

[Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir]

[Paris Movie Theater]

Tan Si.

I told you to pay off Shuang'er's debt for the Dahua Film Company.

Did you do it?

Commander, let's not worry about that.

Someone was more eager than us.

Who was more eager than us?

Junior Marshal Su, Su Hongchen.

He cleared all of the debt

and booked a whole theater for the movie.

In order to boost Miss Shuang'er's career, he spent a lot of money.

It seems Junior Marshal Su really likes Shuang'er.

[Tan Army withdraws from the Mu Family Wharf. Mr. Tan and Ms. Mu are at odds because of celebrity Gu Yueshuang]

Tan Xuanlin withdrew the militia from the Mu Family Wharf to the Shanghai Bund.

In name, it is for business with Joseph.

In actuality, he means to transfer munitions for the Revolutionary Party.

Good.

Shanghai Bund is foreigners' territory.

They will not cover up for him.

As long as the munitions go ashore, he will be held accountable.

It is hard to imagine. Tan Xuanlin and Mu Wanqing used to love each other so much.

Now they had a falling out and are enemies so quickly.

Tan Xuanlin and Gu Yueshuang have always had a suspicious relationship.

A powerful man with two lovers at the same time. That's normal.

But Mu Wanqing… We can't let her stay out of the way.

Find a way to get her involved.

I will let Mu Wanting do it.

Fine.

I can't wait to see Tan Xuanlin's face

after he sees the men from the Revolutionary Party get caught.

He regards himself as infallible.

Now, he will have to suffer from his own schemes.

Yes.

Tan Xuanlin will never know

that the British cargo ships refueled in Qingdao.

And our men seized the chance to get on board.

This batch of munitions is right under our eyes.

We would know better than he does when they go ashore.

Tomorrow at noon,

as long as the Revolutionary Party comes to the wharf to get the shipment,

we can catch both the men and the goods.

Send a telegram to Xu Bojun right away.

Tell him that all is ready, all we need is the north wind.

Yes.

[Telegram: All is ready, all we need is the north wind.]

Why does it say north wind?

In the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang used the east wind.

But what we need is the north wind.

According to the current situation,

only the Beijing government in the north

can make him suffer a complete loss.

Send a telegram, reporting that Tan Xuanlin

was aiding the enemy to the Beijing government.

- Yes. - Like the poem goes, "The north wind blew hard all night."

In all likelihood, tomorrow we will see the hour of Tan Xuanlin's doom.

Military Governor! Telegram!

[Tan Xuanlin is colluding with the Revolutionary Party. He plans to transit munitions at Shanghai Bund Pier.]

[Thirty cases of Mauser C96 pistols]

[One case of Spencer rifle] [Fifteen cases of bullets]

Junior Marshal.

- What is it? - Here is today's newspaper.

[Tan Army withdraws from the Mu Family Wharf. Mr. Tan and Ms. Mu are at odds because of celebrity Gu Yueshuang]

Get packed and come to Shanghai with me.

[Modest and Open-minded] Military Governor foretells things accurately.

After reading the news about Mu Wanqing, Junior Marshal left right away.

My son looks calm and steady,

but deep down, he is a romantic.

Madam has been dead for so many years

and you have remained unmarried.

I think that's where Junior Marshal's loyalty to love comes from.

Yes. How time flies!

His mother has been dead for over a decade.

The Junior Marshal can undertake tasks alone now.

If she saw, she would be very gratified.

I only have one son,

and I have endlessly schemed for most of my life

just for him.

This time, Tan Xuanlin will be dead for sure.

Guangyao is the Supervisor of Shanghai.

As long as he is in Shanghai,

Pei Xun will find a way to get him involved in the investigation.

Only if Guangyao participates in the investigation

can he take over as the Commander of Shanghai.

And then in Shanghai...

the Xu family can stage a comeback.

Commander.

Those spies we caught won't say a word.

But Old Fu is already keeping an eye on them.

This details their movement.

If something happened, it should have happened somewhere here.

[Suspect Interrogation: Waiting for my cousin at the wharf]

[Map of Shanghai]

[Rixin Bank]

Why did they go to the bank?

Old Fu has looked into it.

They all received a large sum of money several days ago.

So they went to the bank

around the same time to send money to their families in Japan.

Stop!

You can't go inside.

I am here to see the commander.

Miss Mu, you can't go inside.

Miss Wanqing, what's the matter?

I want to see the Commander.

He is not here right now. Please leave now.

Today you either shoot me or let me in.

Miss Mu. Miss Mu!

Miss Mu!

Tan Si!

Why didn't the guards stop her?

- Don't they know the rules? - Don't blame them.

I came in by myself.

I just wanted to ask you in person.

Why did you withdraw the militia and even the guards at the Mu Family Mansion?

Get out.

You have no right to ask about military affairs.

No right to ask?

You can withdraw the soldiers at the Mu Family Mansion,

but the militia belongs to the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.

It is their duty to protect the wharf.

Do you dare to give me a reason?

Compared with the Mu family,

I can gain more profit by working with Joseph.

He let me transport goods through his wharf,

and I sent my militia to protect Shanghai Bund.

Was that wrong?

I don't believe it.

You are not a man who forsakes principle for the sake of gold.

You don't know me.

I can feel just like a fish in the water during these troubled times.

Can a man of moral integrity do that?

If I don't forsake principle for the sake of gold,

I would be dead already.

Xuanlin,

it's just us here.

You don't need to pretend.

Are you...

keeping things from me?

Just tell me.

I will keep your secret.

These days,

I have been thinking about the things happening between us.

I just can't figure out

why you are behaving like this. You suddenly changed.

You can just...

see me as an unpredictable asshole.

But truly you are not.

Just give me a reason, okay?

I can't stand it anymore.

I don't even know

what happened between us.

Yes, you don't know.

I really feel tired.

I don't think I can go on.

Then don't.

I will not give up our relationship for no reason.

Fine.

Since you want to know,

I will tell you.

Do you know how my father died?

Ten years ago,

my father escorted munitions by way of Jiangpu.

He was ambushed by a group of men.

He was completely defeated.

The group used explosive bullets

that could deal serious damage.

This kind of bullet is forbidden in regular armies.

My father died...

with half his chest blown open.

Who were these men?

Ten years ago,

your father escorted supplies for Xu Bojun by way of Jiangpu.

He hired a group of men from the Belarusian Foreign Gun Brigade.

They used these explosive bullets.

The reason for hiring these men

was that they were effective.

I don't believe it.

- You don't? - It can't be true.

Can't be true?

You should go home and check the photo albums.

You will see the photo of your father and the foreign brigade.

And I also found a member of that brigade.

He told me your father

killed my father.

I can only… only…

only try not to hate you.

From now on,

you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours.

My Lady, what-what are you doing?

Was this photo...

taken in Jiangpu?

Yes.

Ten years ago, My Lord escorted goods by way of Jiangpu and took this photo.

Why do you ask? You and Commander Tan both seem to be interested in this photo.

- Miss, what's wrong? - Miss Wanting.

Eldest Miss is not available now.

About the Chamber of Commerce, you can talk about it tomorrow.

- What's wrong? - My Lady.

What happened?

After coming back from the headquarters, My Lady was eager to see the photo albums.

- Who knew she would suddenly begin crying while looking at them? - Please don't frighten me.

We can do nothing about it.

Eldest Miss, please say something.

[Army Headquarters of Beijing]

Father.

Can't you see we are in a meeting?

Get out.

Father, I didn't want to disturb your meeting.

But I have some new information about the report

regarding Tan Xuanlin aiding the enemy.

I hope you can use it as a reference.

[The Shanghai Concession's Gendarmerie Record of Attendance] Here are the attendance records

of the Shanghai Concession Gendarmerie that I copied by hand.

It includes one

that reports Tan Xuanlin was transporting banned goods.

But it turns out that he was transporting

[Investigation Result: Sports Equipment] normal sports equipment.

So, these reports...

may not be true.

After Xu Bojun fell out of power,

Shanghai has been under the control of Tan Xuanlin alone.

Commander Tan is so young and in a powerful position.

Of course, it would make others jealous.

Reporting and lodging a false accusation is normal.

I see what you mean.

But, look.

This report lists

the time and place of his meeting

with the Revolutionary Party in detail,

including the number and type of

munitions transported.

If we don't investigate,

and it turns out to be true,

we cannot go back and undo everything.

Father,

how will the investigation proceed?

Staff Officer Zuo.

Yes.

Go to Shanghai tonight

and ask Anton Fay, the director of the Municipal Council,

to investigate together,

in order to show fairness and justice.

The truth will speak for itself.

If Tan Xuanlin didn't aid the enemy,

we can give him justice.

Yes.

[Army Headquarters of Beijing]

Did you show Military Governor Pei the attendance records?

I did.

What did he say?

Father said

it is better to believe something is real

than to believe it is false.

So he sent someone to Shanghai to investigate.

He also said that

if this is a false accusation,

he will give him justice.

That's good to hear.

The Marshal ordered Miss Tan to stay here for 24 hours

in order to investigate her relationship with Commander Tan.

Miss Tan can leave after the investigation is over.

But…

No need.

Please be cooperative, Miss Tan.

It doesn't matter.

Junior Marshal, you should go too.

Me?

The Military Governor cares about Miss Tan

and has commanded Junior Marshal to keep her company.

Junior Marshal Xu, you wanted to see my miss?

Where is Miss Wanqing?

After coming back from seeing Commander Tan,

My Lady cried and went outside.

She… She ordered us not to follow her.

What?

Tan Xuanlin truly sees Mu Wanqing

as the daughter of his enemy.

Mu Wanqing believes it, too.

This afternoon, she looked at the photo

and cried for so long.

As long as they remain separated,

we can defeat them one by one.

At noon tomorrow,

when the munitions arrive at the Shanghai Bund,

Tan Xuanlin's death will be inevitable.

The foreigner, Joseph,

will not cover up for him.

You made me play them against each other,

so when Tan Xuanlin trades the munitions at the Shanghai Bund,

the Mu family can't cover up for him.

But...

the Mu family shouldn't think they can run away from it.

Tomorrow, I will find some contraband

to put in your Mu Family Wharf's warehouse.

Try to find the keys to the warehouse.

Concealing banned medicine will make them

suffer greatly.

Contraband?

Will it get me involved?

Don't worry.

We will make sure everything is under control.

When we take down Mu Wanqing,

then everything in the Mu family

will all be yours.

Fine. Okay.

You can trust me.

Tomorrow,

I will find someone to watch Mu Wanqing

in case she makes a move.

At the Chamber of Commerce,

you would also need to keep an eye on her.

If she leaves the Chamber of Commerce,

tell me immediately.

I understand.

Look.

All of Shanghai is my territory.

I promise, for as long as I live,

you will be safe and sound.

What you said that day

does it not matter anymore?

[The Commander's Office]

Everyone.

Starting today,

Miss Mu is my girlfriend.

Good. Good. Good!

Good. Good. Great!

Supervisor Xu, you can't go inside.

Supervisor Xu! Supervisor Xu.

Supervisor Xu, you can't go inside.

Supervisor Xu!

Commander.

Supervisor Xu said he wanted to go to his office to get something.

I couldn't stop him.

Why stop me?

Did you do something wrong

and you're now afraid to see me?

You can leave now. I will talk to him alone.

Yes.

You and Wanqing.

What happened between you two?

Good news never goes beyond the gate,

while bad news spreads far and wide.

[The Spark]

[Tan Army withdraws from the Mu Family Wharf. Mr. Tan and Ms. Mu are at odds because of celebrity Gu Yueshuang]

I didn't know...

Supervisor Xu would read such tabloids.

I just came from the Mu Mansion.

They told me that

you have been indifferent to Wanqing these days.

You let her make arrangements for the wedding alone.

You didn't even try on the suit.

Now you created

a scandal for Gu Yueshuang.

Don't you feel sorry for Wanqing?

Don't you feel sorry for her dead father?

Xu Guangyao,

you have no right to involve yourself

in matters between me and Mu Wanqing.

I am her brother.

I won't allow anyone to make her upset.

So?

If that's the case,

should I call you brother-in-law?

It doesn't matter what you call me.

I just want you to remember

what you said.

You promised to protect her from all darkness

and to give her brightness.

You don't dare die.

You don't dare lose.

You are afraid she would be sad.

You promised to give her happiness.

Did you keep your promise?

You ate your own words.

Xu Guangyao, who gave you the right to say that to me?

Mu Wanqing's biggest tragedy

was caused by your family.

Didn't you know?

The Xu family

did do something terrible to Wanqing a long time ago.

Just a long time ago?

Mu Zhiyuan was assassinated at the railway station.

Who did it? Do you not know?

Didn't you suspect anything?

Is Xu Yuan here?

I haven't seen him for several days.

I said that I will protect her forever.

I will do what I promised.

Protect her forever as her brother, right?

Didn't you love her before?

Don't you love her now?

I gave up...

not because I didn't love her,

but because I respected her choice.

But if she chose the wrong man,

if she chose an asshole,

I will not make it easy for him.

That's none of your business.

Even if I am an asshole and I don't want her anymore,

she will beg to be with me and not you.

Also, from now on leave me alone!

You listen!

If you are really an asshole,

I will never let you off!

Junior Marshal, look!

Junior Marshal.

- Mr. Xu. - Staff Officer Zuo.

Mr. Xu, we fought for different military governors on the battlefield.

I will apologize if I offended you.

There's no need.

You are skilled in military tactics.

I've learned much from you.

Mr. Xu, Staff Officer Zuo took a plane to come here overnight.

He is authorized by Military Governor Pei

to investigate the Commander of Shangai,

Tan Xuanlin, aiding the enemy.

Tan Xuanlin aiding the enemy?

Military Governor Pei told me again and again

that this issue is vital to the situation in Shanghai.

Of you two, one is the Executive Director of the Municipal Council,

and the other is the Supervisor of the Defense Command.

To show fairness and justice,

you two should investigate together with me.

Do you have evidence?

The reporter provided details on the time and place.

If we can catch both the men and the goods,

the case will be closed.

Commander, you didn't sleep well last night?

It is Supervisor Xu's fault. He just broke in without a greeting.

Don't blame him.

He was just defending Wanqing.

By the way,

are the people waiting at the wharf ready for noon?

Have them put on casual clothes.

Don't worry. Old Fu chose them, so they're very reliable.

Commander, why are there so many soldiers here this early?

Look. Supervisor Xu is here.

And Anton Fay. And Staff Officer Zuo.

This… This…

Let's go. Let's meet them.

Supervisor Xu, it looks like I am not welcome at the Command.

We are all old friends!

[Loyalty and justice get rid of enemies and give people peace]

Brothers, put your guns down.

These are all old friends. Let's be polite.

It is not right and proper to use guns here.

Isn't that right, Brother Guangyao?

Due to family affairs, I haven't been fulfilling my duties for a while.

Sorry for the trouble, Commander Tan.

It is nothing.

Executive Director Fay. We are old friends, too.

That's right.

Staff Officer Zuo, welcome to Shanghai.

All of you must stay for a meal.

Let me fulfill my duties as host.

No need. I am authorized by Military Governor Pei to do this.

In case I may offend you, please be cooperative.

How can I be cooperative?

Put your guns down. Guns down.

Staff Officer Zuo, what do you mean?

Commander Tan, let's go to the office and have a talk.

Don't move! Go back!

Go upstairs! Hurry up!

Go back!

Hurry up! Down!

Staff Officer Zuo, isn't this too much?

There is an emergency. Sorry for offending you.

Commander Tan, please.

Timing and Subtitles done by the ♡ Once Upon in Love ♡ Team @Viki.com

It is a mess here. I will ask someone to tidy up.

Staff Officer Zuo, what do you mean?

Commander Tan, someone reported you for colluding with the Revolutionary Party.

Today at noon,

munitions trade will happen at your warehouse at the Shanghai Bund.

We, as the investigation team,

came here to investigate the report.

Staff Officer Zuo, you suspect me of colluding with the Revolutionary Party?

In this file, there are specific times and places.

[Shanghai Commander Tan Xuanlin is colluding with the Revolutionary Party] I have no choice. It is my duty to investigate strictly.

[On February 6th at noon, he is to transit munitions at the Shanghai Bund Pier]

Someone reported it, and you automatically believed it? Where is the proof?

Several days ago, someone reported me

for concealing contraband.

The British gendarmerie was totally fooled.

Executive Director Fay, is this true?

The gendarmerie was indeed

too rash.

Commander Tan, the government in Beijing sent an investigation team here.

This is your responsibility.

If it turns out that you didn't aid the enemy, you won't have to worry.

We will give you justice.

How will you prove that?

If someone else smuggles munitions at the wharf,

will that be my fault?

Commander Tan, you don't have to worry about that.

After 12.00 noon,

as long as the people show up, and we get both the men and the goods,

we will interrogate them to find out

if it was related to you.

Besides, this is top-secret.

Other than my soldiers and the people in this office, nobody knows.

It can't be let out.

After several hours, when we catch the men,

it will be very clear whether you are guilty or not.

I see.

That is to say, if the men don't show up,

it means that I let out the secret. Right?

You can think that.

So please be cooperative, Commander Tan.

What if the Revolutionary Party changes their plan

or your information is not correct?

Will it be me who let out the secret?

What Commander Tan says makes sense.

From now on, why don't we have the Shanghai Telephone Exchange

turn off all telephones in the headquarters until 1:00,

including Commander Tan's phone?

Meanwhile, the three of us will stay

in the office with Commander Tan.

So what do you think?

I think Supervisor Xu found a good way.

Commander Tan, what do you think?

What? You don't want to?

It's not that.

I think Brother Guangyao's suggestion is very fair.

I was just thinking that it would be so boring for us four men

to stay here doing nothing.

Why don't we play Mahjong?

Tan Si, go assist Staff Officer Zuo's men to keep order.

Yes.

Gentlemen, after you.
