[War of Faith]

[Episode 20]

Mr. Kang,

are you sure you're talking about my sister, Shen Jinzhen?

You should know Jinzhen.

She's spoiled and protected.

Her hands are only for playing piano.

Plus, she grew up with me.

I swear

she's never had a chance to join the Communist Party.

I have Li Shengda.

He can testify anytime.

A traitor of the Communist Party

is slandering a core member

of the arsenal in order to delay

the grand siege against the communists in Jiangxi.

If this delays the production of the gunpowder,

Mr. Kang,

you

would be an accomplice.

Advisor Shen,

you are truly a politician.

Your accusation of me is precise and harsh.

If you don’t accept it,

bring Li Shengda out

and I’ll confront him.

He is an important witness.

You should avoid suspicion.

On my way here,

I saw that the Garrison Command

is quite empty.

Did your driver also go out on a search?

Li Shengda

didn't escape, did he,

Mr. Kang?

Also,

are your gold bars from the Central Bank

in his hands too?

There's no witness,

so let's end this farce here.

Mr. Kang,

he's just a communist traitor

attacking people like a rabid dog

in order to cheat you and live.

Do you really believe him?

Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

Chairman Chiang ordered

that when dealing with communists,

we should rather mistakenly kill 3,000 than let a real one go.

Are you questioning Chairman Chiang?

You're wrong.

I firmly support Chairman Chiang,

but let me tell you,

Shen Jinzhen is my sister.

My sister

is my bottom line.

Whoever crosses that line

will be my sworn enemy.

I haven't checked

all of the Investigation and Arrest Unit's accounts

in the Central Bank for what it should or shouldn't have,

but maybe,

it'll appear on the major newspapers tomorrow.

By then, Chairman Chiang

and the people

can take a good look

at how you people secretly

feather your own nest.

Shen Tunan,

are you threatening me?

It's not a threat.

It's the last notice.

You're doing this to perform a meritorious deed.

I'm doing this to protect my family.

At worst, I'll make you die with me.

I'll fight to the end.

We have different standpoints and work for different things,

but I've interrogated countless communists.

I can say with my whole chest

that Shen Jinzhen is a communist.

I can even shoot her

just based on my suspicion.

It's just a matter of writing a few reports.

Kang Shaojie!

You can try.

If anything happens to Jinzhen,

I'm telling you, this will be our personal grudge

and I won't stop until you're dead.

I'd like to see if the person behind Mr. Yu

can save your life or not.

Jinzhen.

Tunan.

What took you so long?

Let's go home.

Let's go.

Kneel.

Jinzhen,

do you know what our father

was proudest of in his life?

He followed the former president, Mr. Sun Yatsen,

to build the Longhai Railway and the Guangzhou–Hankou railway.

Wrong.

The thing he was proudest of

was that he built and protected

a happy family.

When he passed away,

he wrote in his will for me,

"The elder brother is like a father.

Tunan,

take good care of Jinzhen."

From then on, I swore

to take good care of you and protect you,

to make your life

happy and safe.

Tunan,

-why are you— -Let me finish.

If anyone wants to hurt you

when you haven't done anything wrong,

I can fight him to the end,

but this time, I couldn't be direct.

I want you to face our parents' memorial tablets

and face me, your brother,

and tell me the truth.

Are you...

A communist?

What do you mean?

Even you don't trust me?

Can't you tell?

It's the same as last time.

Wei Ruolai and I

are their pawns to harm you.

Do you know who Kang Shaojie is?

How many communists

has he arrested and interrogated?

If he says you are, then you are.

Since you believe him,

why did you bring me back?

If you think I'm a burden,

we can cut ties now.

Stop talking nonsense.

I want to protect you.

I'll just say one thing.

They claimed that I killed Li Shengda last year

on December 27th,

but you personally took me home

after I worked overtime at the arsenal.

They said I assassinated Li Shengda at the hospital.

There were so many people

from the Investigation and Arrest Unit outside the hospital room.

How could I get in?

Can I fly?

Tunan,

you are anxious

about the new policy.

I understand.

You've contributed a lot all these years

for our family.

I'm grateful too.

But our parents passed away early

and you brought me up.

You should know

what kind of person I am.

I never thought

that one day,

you would ask me

in front of our parents like this.

I never thought you'd distrust me like this.

I'm just...

I'm just worried about you.

I can tell you

that my only identity

is Shen Tunan's sister.

Dad,

Mom,

I'm sorry.

Mr. Kang,

please hurry up this time.

I have to go out to keep searching.

For what?

It’s been such a long time.

Li Shengda

is probably in Hong Kong already.

Mr. Kang,

it wasn't my men who guarded Li Shengda.

How dare you talk back?

And who do you work for?

I'm sure

Shen Jinzhen is a communist.

Why did you let her go?

You think I wanted to?

The case couldn't proceed

without a witness.

How could I explain

if Shen Tunan reported it to Nanjing?

But she's a communist.

A communist!

If you don't dare to take the responsibility,

I'll take it.

Mr. Kang,

before she runs away,

I can arrest her and personally interrogate her.

Okay.

If you have such ambition,

go to Jiangxi.

There are many communists there.

Kill as many as you want.

Stop hanging around in front of me.

I get annoyed whenever I see you.

Mr. Kang.

Get lost!

Now!

Mr. Kang.

Dad,

guess who I drew.

Let me guess.

Judging from the clothes,

it should be your silly aunt,

right?

Jinzhen.

Sister-in-law.

Send this up to them.

Yu needs vitamin supplements.

Give Tunan a way out.

Why did you say she's silly?

Do you want to hear it?

Yes.

Okay.

I'll tell you.

Your aunt

was very smart when she was young.

She learned everything very fast.

I

didn't really like your aunt when I was young.

Why not?

Because your aunt

made me seem dumb.

But she does have a problem.

She's straightforward

She's very direct when speaking.

Sometimes when she encountered someone

who did something wrong,

she would go up and argue with them

about who's right and who's wrong,

but this isn't necessary.

Sometimes when we encounter difficulties,

we need to step back

and maybe the problem will be solved.

Otherwise, you'll suffer losses.

That's why I said your aunt is silly.

What should we do?

People might get annoyed at her.

I have

thought about it.

I wanted your aunt to change

so she could suffer less,

but then I thought that if she changed,

she wouldn't be herself anymore.

It's the best

to be yourself.

It's more genuine.

Even if she causes a lot of problems for me,

I'll just help her take care of them.

I'm willing to take care of her forever.

But you have to remember

that we can learn from your aunt's strengths.

She's smart, upright, brave,

and kind.

But let's not copy

her weaknesses, like how she sometimes

is too opinionated

or talks too harshly.

Sometimes, she is stubborn

and offends others.

She charges forward even if she's at a disadvantage.

Let's not learn these things from her.

I got it.

You got it?

You just finished drawing a silly aunt.

Now let's start to draw Mom,

okay?

Is this a qipao?

Yes.

Mom is very tall.

Make the qipao longer.

[Shanghai Garrison Command]

Sir,

it's not your fault.

Why did Mr. Kang suspend you?

A girl like Shen Jinzhen

lacks nothing

and has a comfortable life.

How could she join the Communist Party?

Is she that bored?

No.

No.

Throughout history, rebels rarely come from

the families of nobles and officials.

So, what's with her?

What's with her?

You were...

Is this important?

Yes.

The more you know someone,

the easier it is to find their weakness.

It seems

that it's time

for me to delve into her family

and her past.

Do you like it?

Why haven't I

seen this dress before?

When you were arrested,

I had the tailor make it.

It's the latest design from Paris.

Thank you.

Sister-in-law,

weren't you afraid

that I wouldn't be released?

I was afraid,

but I believed

you wouldn't do anything

to harm your brother or the family.

If you really are a communist,

just let us know.

We can all go to Moscow.

At least

we can still survive there.

Sister-in-law,

what are you thinking about?

If I were a communist,

I wouldn't have been released so easily.

Besides,

with my temper,

they would've killed me

not long after I got arrested.

You're right.

With your temper,

you can tolerate anything

but losses

and hardships.

Put it on

and raise your head high.

In the future,

no one will dare to bully us.

Mr. Weng.

Mr. Weng,

you're finally here.

Miss Shen has been urging me

and asking where you were.

Please come in.

Mr. Li, please come in.

Please enjoy.

Reporter Tian, you’re finally here.

You’re finally here.

Welcome.

It would be great if you could

take some photos of Miss Shen tonight

and write some praises in the newspaper tomorrow.

Mr. Kang.

What are you doing here?

I also received an invitation.

Mr. Shen said I must come.

Be careful with your words and actions.

Mr. Kang, you're here.

Mr. Xu,

-Welcome. -Hello.

Welcome, Mr. Xu.

Please come in, Mr. Xu.

Sir,

it's already on the newspaper.

Good.

Mr. Weng of the arsenal

and Reporter Tian from the newspaper have arrived too.

This time, we'll definitely

help Miss Shen restore her reputation.

Definitely.

But...

What?

Kang Shaojie

and Lin Qiaosong are also here.

I invited them.

Restoring Jinzhen's reputation

is like a slap to the Garrison Command's face.

If they didn’t come,

look.

This grand event would turn into a one-man show.

They look

quite disgusting.

I know you hate them.

Sometimes,

they're not clean

in the way they act,

but you must remember

that they are also working for the Kuomintang.

Without them,

the communist activities will only be more rampant.

Compared to finance,

the struggle of faith and mentality

is actually more complicated.

You must be careful.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Kang,

a few days ago, Commander Xue from the front line called.

He urged the arsenal

to make over 1,000 cases of shells.

I told him we couldn't do it.

Not only was the equipment broken,

but my precious engineer

was also arrested by you.

Commander Xue yelled my head off.

He said if you didn't release her,

he would have his men

aim the shells at your face.

I know Commander Xue.

He loves joking around.

Mr. Weng, what did you say?

I stopped him, of course.

I told him

that Mr. Kang

is the wizard of the Investigation and Arrest Unit.

Yes.

He'll definitely give Engineer Shen justice.

And how is it?

Miss Shen is fine.

This time, it was

the Investigation and Arrest Unit's mistake.

I'll drink as a punishment.

Thank you, Mr. Shen.

Don’t be upset, Captain Lin.

You lost this time,

but keep going next time.

You won't finish catching all the communists any time soon.

I'm sorry.

It's your duty. I understand.

But this time,

Chief Kang suspended you

to shirk the responsibility.

I don't think that's very fair of him.

No, no.

I'm also responsible.

Don't be discouraged.

You are capable

and you want to serve the country.

In the future,

there'll be a place for you to shine.

Thank you.

Everyone is here.

Would you like to say something?

What should I say?

Say whatever you want.

Okay.

First,

thank you for coming to the Shen Residence tonight.

Here,

I want to thank my brother,

my family,

and my friends.

Without you,

I don't know

where I'd be now.

The one I must thank the most

is Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang

is indeed a big shot in Shanghai.

As long as he wants,

anyone can be arrested,

anyone can be investigated for no reason,

and anyone can be beaten until they confess.

Of course,

anyone

can also be innocent.

I'm very grateful to Mr. Kang

for giving me justice.

If it weren't for you,

I might not even

still be here right now.

Of course,

then there wouldn't be

such a beautiful party tonight.

It's all in the past.

I wish you all

a pleasant night.

Great!

Well said.

So, Miss Shen Jinzhen,

may I have a dance?

My pleasure.

Don't step on my foot.

I won't.

Tunan,

thank you for this.

Recovering your reputation

is necessary for both you and me.

That's not what I'm thanking you for.

I'm thanking you

for trusting me.

Who said I trust you?

I'm kidding.

I know you well.

You're a spoiled girl

and can't even cook a bowl of noodles.

How can you bear the hardships of the Communist Party?

More importantly,

you're right.

You're my only sister

in this world.

I choose to trust you,

and I'm willing to trust you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Tunan.

Go upstairs.

Take a rest.

Chief Deng, Mr. Weng.

Tunan.

Jinzhen's problem is solved.

It's so satisfying.

Yes, I finally let go of my heart.

Mr. Weng,

this must have

caused you a lot of trouble.

As Jinzhen's brother,

I apologize to you on her behalf.

From now on,

you have to take good care of her as usual.

Don't worry.

She's the treasure of the arsenal.

Sorry for the trouble.

She's everyone's treasure.

Come on.

Thank you too.

You spoke well.

Thank you.

What happened to your hand?

I scraped it when doing chores at home.

What kind of chores can do this to you?

It's not a big deal.

It's okay.

My brother told me

that you stalked Li Shengda before.

Yes.

He had a gun,

so I stopped after I followed him

to the hotel.

Mr. Shen also told me to be careful.

Then,

was it also your suggestion

to hold this cocktail party tonight?

Since we've cleared the suspicion,

we have to make it public.

Otherwise, it will affect Mr. Shen.

You're very thoughtful.

You killed two birds with one stone.

Then why are you so sure

-that Li Shengda won't come back? -Don't worry.

He won't.

Can I interpret it as

Li Shengda

will never be able to come back?

The favor you owed me before

has been cleared.

Miss Shen.

What's wrong?

Miss Shen,

I don't care what your identity is, but I hope

you can think twice before acting in the future.

What do you mean?

In the past, I followed my brother

and the people who interacted with him.

Their temperaments were similar to yours,

especially your eyes.

When the drivers went on strike,

your sympathy towards them

and your anger towards the police

were enough to show your political tendencies.

This is just your personal opinion.

And when you talked about my brother

at the Western restaurant last time,

the look in your eyes couldn't deceive anyone.

Don't worry.

I will keep this secret in the bottom of my heart.

But I still hope

you can be more careful.

Don't burden Mr. Shen anymore.

Open the door.

Lin Qiaosong, I know you're home.

Open the door!

I'll smash it if you don't open it.

Are you opening it or not?

What do you want?

They said you're suspended.

That's perfect.

You're free now.

We can put our matter on the agenda.

Don't look at me like that.

That's right.

You're stuck with me.

Lin Qiaosong,

it's okay if you lost your job.

I have money.

I can support you.

I'll support you no matter what you want to do.

Tell me.

How much do you want?

Don't be so upset.

This is Shanghai.

As long as you're smart and ruthless enough,

you can become successful anytime.

You are a top student from Huangpu.

I bet you can

do better than fruit sellers

or rural peasants.

Wake up!

Without my gun

and that uniform,

I can't protect you like I used to.

I'm no longer

the mighty Lin Qiaosong.

You are!

Lin Qiaosong,

it doesn't matter that you lost your job.

What I don't want is for you

to lose your pride and ambition.

Pride?

Ambition?

I've never had it before.

I've never had it before.

Stop pitying yourself.

Lin Qiaosong,

show me your confidence

from when you flirted with me.

I don't have much patience.

If you can't do it,

I...

I'll walk in front of you with another man

every day.

-I have ways to make you suffer. -How dare you!

How dare you!

See if I dare.

Meijuan.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Newspaper!

The Central Bank's Shen Tunan's sister got her name cleared!

[Central Bank Shen Tunan's sister Shen Jinzhen stuns the crowd at the banquet]

The Garrison Command is humiliated.

This is too high-profile.

As an underground party member,

your face shouldn't be exposed.

This will add more danger

to your future missions.

This was my brother's idea.

He made me the focus of the media

to intimidate those people.

I’m worried about Li Shengda.

Li Shengda has been eliminated.

You acted on your own again.

It wasn't me.

Who was it then?

Wei Ruolai.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

I need to deposit something.

Okay, wait a moment.

Please sign your name

here and here.

This is your key and deposit certificate.

Please keep it safe.

[Hong Fang Clothing Shop]

I found out after the fact.

Did he tell you the specific method he used?

No.

But judging from the wound on his hand,

Wei Ruolai strangled him with a rope.

Did he bury the body?

Probably.

What do you mean?

If you don't ask about these things,

what will you do if something goes wrong?

He suffered a lot because of Li Shengda.

I believe

he wrapped things up cleanly.

You believe?

He's just a kid.

He's in his twenties.

He's not a kid anymore.

He looks young on the surface,

but his mind is clear.

He even guessed my identity.

You...

You're not thinking of killing him to silence him, right?

Of course not.

He's the family of a martyr.

Also,

he likes you.

When you danced with your brother at the banquet,

I saw that he was watching secretly.

There was

admiration, curiosity,

and worry in his eyes.

Worry?

Probably because of your identity.

He's afraid something might happen to you again.

He's worried my issue will affect my brother.

Don't worry.

He will keep it a secret for me.

If anything happens to me, my brother will be implicated.

Our interests

are highly consistent with each other.

Do you think

we can get Wei Ruolai on our side?

Probably not.

Why not?

My brother is his idol.

In the future,

he'll probably follow the Three Principles of the People.

I think

you should give it a try.

He's a promising man.

He's talented and has a special identity.

Most importantly,

the party needs talents like him.

You mean

his financial talent?

Although Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang

launched a second siege on us,

not only was the base in southern Jiangxi

and western Fujian not defeated,

but it even expanded.

Donggu Civilian Bank has expanded to form

the Southwest Jiangxi Industrial and Agricultural Bank.

Plus, the Jiangxi Soviet government

established the Jiangxi Workers & Farmers Bank in Ji'an

and the Western Fujian Soviet

established the Western Fujian Industrial and Agricultural Bank in Longyan.

The financial system our party built

has braved the waters

and set sail.

I really want to take a look

and personally experience

the atmosphere and vitality of the base.

There will be a chance.

There will be more and more similar banks in the future,

but we have a serious lack

of financial talents.

So,

the organization wants us

to develop a group of financial talents in Shanghai

to go to Jiangxi Soviet.

The first one I thought of

after getting the mission

was Wei Ruolai.

Since the organization needs it,

I can give it a try,

but...

It's hard for you to fight for a follower with your brother.

However,

you have a bigger advantage than your brother.

What advantage?

Faith.

[New Map of Jiangxi Counties]

What you have now

is internal reference information

that Manager He asked the intelligence officers from Nanchang Field Headquarter

and the front lines of southern Jiangxi.

Please read it quickly.

According to intelligence,

other than Donggu Civilian Bank,

the Communist Party has also established

in its conquered territories

the Northeast Jiangxi Pauper's Bank,

Wanzai Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Bank,

and other similar banks

[Announcement of the Communist Party on Financial Circulation Issues]

in Tonggu, Yichun, and Xiushui.

They are springing up everywhere.

What do you all think?

They're so shabby.

The institutions are not even complete.

They're just banks in name

for the communists to rob civilians of their money.

The most ridiculous thing is the location.

What's the most important thing for a bank?

To support it with the economy.

The Central Bank is established in Shanghai,

the economic and financial hub

of the Far East.

The Communist Party

opened banks in remote villages.

It's destined to be a futile attempt.

Exactly.

Does anyone else have anything to say?

Wang Shanbin?

It's okay.

If you speak incorrectly, you can treat everyone to a meal.

Yes, yes, yes.

No, no, no.

I'll speak then.

I think location is important,

but talent is more important.

There are few literate people in rural villages,

let alone financial talents.

They probably have to learn how to use an abacus

and accounting on the spot.

Right.

Don't think you're a bank just because you put the sign up.

You're not even close.

Those country bumpkins

probably can't even read Arabic numbers.

It'll take them a whole day

to do simple math.

Ruolai.

Sir.

I have a different opinion.

I think the communists

have an advantage that can't be overlooked.

What?

The export of tungsten ore.

Two-thirds of the tungsten ore in China

are in southern Jiangxi,

while most of the mines in southern Jiangxi

are still in the hands of the Communist Party.

That's only temporary.

Don't put yourself down

to lift others up,

okay?

Congyun.

Ruolai, continue.

According to the information,

more businesspeople have stopped exchanging banknotes

for copper coins when entering and exiting Xingguo.

This means

that the Jiangxi Workers & Farmers Bank's credit is stabilizing.

To put it bluntly,

the Communist Party

has received active support from the people.

They also stated they will

expel all miscellaneous banknotes and counterfeit notes,

and centralize the currency issuance right.

It's the same thing that the Central Bank is doing,

[Communist Party Ban on Banknotes]

which is financial unification.

Them?

They're country bumpkins who can barely afford to eat.

You think too highly of them.

That's right.

What's the most important thing in finance?

Who can answer me?

It's data,

instead of subjective speculations.

Yes,

the scale of these communist banks are not large.

They're even laughably small,

but don't forget

that anything can change and develop.

Three years, five years, or 10 years later,

these banks

will be the Central Bank's biggest enemy.

The Rothschild family that's as wealthy as a country now

used to be a loan shark.

He didn't even have a storefront.

Manager He is personally leading

the siege

on the communists and their conquered territories.

This is a direct battle.

For us,

all these newly established banks

are declarations of war.

The communists are declaring war on us

on the financial front.

This is intolerable.
