[War of Faith]

[Episode 22]

So much?

I didn't do much today.

I'm embarrassed to take it.

You find it too little?

No, I want it.

I have to save the money.

I'll buy myself a foreign car in the future.

You're a little crook, aren't you?

From now on,

just follow me.

In Shanghai,

there are a lot of rich people,

and they're also generous.

Wen, listen to this.

You know what?

Sometimes, I can't make this much

even when my legs are broken,

and with my voice gone hoarse in the countryside.

But today,

this is our first time busking.

Our first time busking!

Look.

Look how much I've earned.

Chunmiao.

Chunmiao.

Chunmiao

Qibao Street

is still considered poor.

I'll take you to

where the rich people are.

I promise

you'll make more than ten times of what you're making today.

You have to keep your promise.

You're a good brother.

That's what I'm talking about.

Let's make money together.

Here.

I must propose a toast to you.

That's enough.

Cheers!

Come on!

Let's get rich together!

Let's get rich together!

Take your time.

Eat more.

You go...

Hello.

Is Wei Ruolai here?

No.

You are...

I'm his friend.

-I’m here to pass him something. -I’m his fiancée.

Hello.

Wei,

what is your relationship

with Niu Chunmiao?

We're from the same hometown.

We're just friends.

Ms. Zhou said

you brought a girl to your house the other day.

What's your relationship that girl?

We're just friends.

She came to your house at night and even stayed for dinner.

Are you sure you are just friends?

What are you guessing?

We're not even on the same page.

Why do you think you're not good enough for her?

This is more complicated than you think.

We should stay away from

women like her.

Go to bed.

I don't want to take the rickshaw tomorrow.

Keep our distance?

Thank you.

What's your name?

My surname is Shen.

What about you?

Niu Chunmiao.

Wei Ruolai and I

have been engaged since childhood.

Did he tell you?

No.

Our families have been friends for generations.

Our fathers were good brothers.

They were very close.

Before I came to Shanghai,

our families had already discussed

our marriage.

Well then, congratulations.

No need.

I didn't come to Shanghai

to get married.

If you want him,

I can let him go.

Wei Ruolai is not Xue Pinggui,

and I'm not Wang Baochuan.

So as long as you pay,

I can pass him on to you.

-Miss Niu, I think you are mistaken. -Of course.

You can also choose not to pay.

But...

As long as you two are together,

-I’ll make a scene at the doors of Central Bank every day. -We...

-He who abandons the muck -It’s not what you think.

as he clings onto wealth and honor.

Would such a reputation

do the both of you any good?

No, right?

Well then Miss Niu,

how much do you think I should pay?

50 silver dollars.

I'll leave as soon as I get the money,

and you can do whatever you want.

I will never interfere.

Is Wei Ruolai only worth

50 silver dollars in your heart?

If... if you are willing to give me more,

I'll welcome you too.

Don't worry.

If anyone from our families objects,

I'll be the first to stand out.

I'll say that it was my decision

to cancel the engagement.

It has nothing to do with Wei Ruolai.

This way, our neighbors

won't say that he's heartless either.

Right?

Do you know how much he earns now?

He...

He keeps what he earns.

I'm not that greedy.

Why don't you want to marry him?

This... this has nothing to do with you.

Here's the thing.

Let's discuss about

the transfer fee first.

We'll talk about the rest later, okay?

You're so eager to get rid of him.

I don't suppose there's anything wrong with him, is there?

No.

Wei Ruolai is very filial.

He's kind and smart.

If you marry him,

you will be very blessed.

Since he is so good,

why don't you marry him yourself?

I...

If you don't make it clear,

how can we talk?

40.

It can't be any lower.

You are not telling me the truth.

There must be something wrong with him.

No, there isn't.

I'm just short of money recently.

I'm very short of money.

Otherwise, I won't give him away even if you gave me a 100.

Miss Niu.

Cut the crap.

30 silver dollars.

Deal?

Wei Ruolai will belong to you.

I'll leave tomorrow morning.

Since you don't want to tell me the truth,

then forget it.

I thought he was a decent guy.

Now that you mentioned it, I'm not so sure anymore.

I'd better go.

No, don't.

Don't go.

Don't go, Sister.

Wei Ruolai is very smart.

He works very hard too.

Just buy him back.

It's worth the price even if you

buy him back to be your house servant.

-Then you tell me... -20.

My best price.

Then let me finish.

Why don't you want to marry him?

If what you are going to say makes sense,

let alone 50,

I can even afford 100 silver dollars.

Morning, Mr. Shen.

Morning.

You're early, Mr. Shen.

Morning.

You're early, Ruolai.

Sir.

So early?

Let me get you some water.

No need.

[Report on the study of Workers and Farmers Banks of Communist-controlled regions by Wei Ruolai]

Report on the study of Workers and Farmers Banks of Communist-controlled regions.

Are you done?

Yes.

But there's some data that needs to be double-checked.

Come over for dinner tonight.

I want to give you a book.

It'll help you finish the report as soon as possible.

Okay.

I'll try to come earlier than you tomorrow.

Get busy.

Dad.

Mom.

Did you two fight?

No.

Daddy and Mommy are good. Look.

Then...

Aunt,

are you two on bad terms?

You didn't talk to each other all night.

You didn't even look at each other.

Kids shouldn't talk while they're eating.

It's bad for your stomach.

You're a lady, you know?

Have you finished reading the book I gave you last time?

Yes, Sir.

I'll get you another book.

Fisher's masterpiece,

"The Theory of Interest".

Write me a book review

when you're done.

Got it, Sir.

Also...

Have you spoken to Jinzhen?

Yes.

I've said everything I need to say.

But the outcome...

doesn't seem very ideal.

That is expected.

She's...

a very stubborn person.

Try harder.

Be patient and try again.

Miss Shen.

Done talking to my brother?

Yes.

Is there a problem?

I was too harsh last time.

I apologize.

When?

When I said...

When I said you were holding back Mr. Shen.

It's okay.

I think what you said makes sense.

I'll be more careful in the future.

Anything else?

No. That's all.

I'll go back now.

You should...

be nice to Niu Chunmiao from now on.

No, you...

How do you know about Niu Chunmiao?

I went to your house the other day,

but you weren't there and I ran into her.

We had a good chat.

She's a nice girl.

What did she tell you?

Nothing.

Why... do you look a little guilty?

No.

I am not.

What exactly did she say to you?

She said you were still wetting your bed when you were seven.

What?

You've always been a coward.

You were always following behind your brother.

A small brush against you and you would fall.

A little bump and you would cry.

One time, you almost got tricked by the human traffickers

with a skewer of candied haws.

Niu Chunmiao.

Niu Chunmiao.

Coming.

-Let me ask you. -What are you doing?

Why did you tell Miss Shen all of that?

What?

Stop pretending.

She told me everything.

Why did you tell her that?

It's the truth.

Which of these did I lie about?

You...

What?

Miss Shen is a decent person.

You two are not suitable.

It's not up to you to decide

whether we are suitable for each other.

Who do you think you are?

Doggie!

Enough of your nonsense!

Fine.

Just take it as I am being meddlesome.

I shouldn't have taken you in.

Don't worry.

I've made a lot of money.

I'll find a place within these two days

and move out.

How did you make the money?

Have you forgotten who I am?

While you were sniffing

and collecting elm seeds from the mountains to eat,

I was already

busking with my father.

These are fake.

How can someone in Shanghai still dare to counterfeit money?

I've learned how to judge the authenticity of these silver coins.

These are fake.

Bastard!

I was wondering why all of them

were so generous with their money.

Turns out, they are all fake.

Mr. Song.

Recently, we received a lot of reports,

claiming that there's a large number of counterfeit silver coins

in the market.

According to our estimates,

only a small portion of it has been released.

The actual amount should be much more significant.

So I suggest

to set up a special Commission of Inquiry and

start investigating immediately.

Mr. Kong has given us a heads-up.

He said that the counterfeit coins

is a matter of great importance.

If Central Bank investigates this independently,

I'm afraid we can't convince everyone.

So,

the headquarters have requested that the Police,

the intelligence service,

also known as the Investigation and Arrest Unit of the Garrison Command,

to cooperate and jointly solve the case as three parties.

Mr. Song, three parties

might be a bit too many.

I'm afraid a lot of important information

might be leaked.

So,

you've got to be on top of it.

The counterfeit coins are causing panic.

We must find out what happened

and solve the case as soon as possible.

Yes, Sir.

Captain Lin.

Mr. Kang.

You're here.

Sit.

Sit down before we talk.

I've been thinking about

something important,

and I think it's best if you go.

Shen Tunan, leading Central Bank,

together with us, the Garrison Command, and Shanghai Police Department,

have jointly established an investigation team,

to investigate the case of counterfeit coins.

I don't know what he's thinking.

He asked me for one person

to assist in his investigations.

Me?

I didn't expect that

you seem to get along well with Miss Shen.

Mr. Kang.

After the case was closed, I had no more contact with Shen Jinzhen.

You know my personality.

Given Shen Jinzhen's identity,

I truly cannot deal with someone like that.

Don't think too much.

Shen Tunan is someone

who cherishes talents.

He values what you've got.

After you go over,

do your job well.

Remember,

don't let them take advantage of us.

Don't you worry, Mr. Kang.

Welcome Deputy Director Yu Zhiying of Shanghai Police Department,

Military Law Department of the Shanghai Garrison Command's Investigation and Arrest Unit,

Captain Lin Qiaosong.

We welcome you

to officially join our Commission of Inquiry.

Ruolai.

Let's start with a brief introduction.

Yes.

What you see in front of you

is a sample of the counterfeit coins.

The engravings are clear and the edges are neat.

All of them are made by the stamping method.

In other words,

they are using the same technology as the official mint,

and are not made in some small workshop.

And now in Shanghai,

there has been a massive distribution,

with an estimated distribution of over a million.

The daily production should be around 3,000 pieces.

There's no need for me to say anything more

regarding the financial risks of counterfeit money.

Mr. Song

is very concerned about this.

He ordered us to solve the case in ten days.

The pressure is pretty intense.

But there's one tough problem.

We currently don't know if the counterfeit factory

is in Shanghai or not.

In my opinion,

Shanghai is definitely hardest hit

by these counterfeit coins.

But I think

it's impossible for the counterfeit factory

to be in Shanghai.

Think about it.

A rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its own burrow.

If I am the one making counterfeit coins,

I'll definitely spread them out of town,

after the counterfeit coins are made.

It's more safe and secure.

So I am suggesting,

how about we go take a look at

the cities around Shanghai?

Let's go check it out.

That makes sense.

This batch of counterfeit coins is mainly based on

the Yuan Datou's silver dollar, made in the third year of Republic of China.

It was manufactured by a coin manufacturer in Nanjing.

We have received their reply.

They said the coin-making molds

were destroyed back in the day.

But we don't know

if they were indeed destroyed.

Advisor Shen,

could this be the work of the Communist Party?

They could have intentionally released counterfeit coins

as an attempt to disrupt our financial market.

That's what I thought at first too.

But it's obvious that

the Communist Party

don't have such sophisticated technologies

to make such good counterfeit coins.

So,

there are now various possibilities.

Captain Lin,

I'll have to trouble you

with the investigation in Shanghai.

Don't worry, Advisor Shen.

Please leave the investigation in Shanghai

with me.

Deputy Director Yu,

as for the case files,

can you deliver them to us?

We can try to see

if we can find any new clues.

Don't worry.

Our police department is supposed to be cooperating with you.

I'll deliver it as soon as possible.

Thank you to the both of you.

Captain Lin.

Have a cigarette.

No need, thank you.

I've long heard that you, Captain Lin,

is smart and capable.

When I saw you earlier today,

you really live up to your name.

Thank you, Deputy Director Yu.

I've long admired you too, Deputy Director Yu.

Mr. Kang.

He asked me to say hello to you.

Right.

Please help me tell Mr. Kang that

I'll make sure everything is done right.

But...

intelligence is critical to solve the case.

If we know ourselves and the enemy,

we'll be invincible. You know that.

Of course.

That's what we do as the Investigation and Arrest Unit.

We're family.

Such a pleasure indeed.

Yu Zhiying suspects that the counterfeit factory is out of town.

What do you think?

We can't rule out the possibility of them wanting to shirk their responsibility.

This case is so serious.

If it really is in Shanghai,

the Shanghai Police Department would be considered negligent.

He must push the responsibility out.

But maybe he knows what's up.

He's trying to cover up for others.

That's a presumption of guilt.

You can think so,

but you can't say that.

When the door is closed,

you can say whatever you want.

If it were up to you two

to do this,

where would you set up the factory?

Shanghai.

Why?

It's safe.

Shanghai's advanced industrial and commercial development

makes it ideal for large-scale distribution.

But if it is produced in another city,

and then shipped back to Shanghai,

they run the risk of

being discovered at every checkpoint.

It's extremely risky.

The checkpoints can be bought off.

But that will increase the cost.

And the more people who know, the greater the risk.

They are just greedy, but not stupid.

I also think they are in Shanghai.

Destroying the coin's molds

is a matter of great importance for the party and the country.

In this matter,

I don't think the mint in Nanjing would dare to mess it up.

Then why did you still

lead them to investigate the case in Nanjing?

Anyone who can pull off a case of this magnitude

must have a lot of tricks up his sleeves.

He must have many spies.

I think

they must have

infiltrated the police department by now.

That's why I have to get the word out first.

We'll watch their next move.

You're pretending to be doing one thing,

while secretly doing something else?

Yes.

You two

have a lot of work ahead of you.

Congyun.

When the case files are here,

immediately arrange for people to start analyzing.

Let's see what new evidence we can find.

Yes, Sir.

Ruolai.

Next,

bring the sample of the counterfeit coins,

and look for Jinzhen.

Be sure to avoid the police station,

as you go to the metallurgy department for a technical analysis.

Yes, I'll get going.

Ruolai.

This is Chief Liu from the metallurgy department of our factory.

This is Wei Ruolai from Central Bank.

Hello, Chief.

Hello.

Here's the lab report.

Thank you.

After testing,

the silver content of this batch of silver coins

is only about 30 percent.

It's primarily manganese and lead,

but mainly made of lead.

The rest of the specifics are in the report.

Any other discoveries?

We've analyzed the surface marks of the counterfeit coins,

such as burrs

and engravings,

to determine the degree of wear and tear.

The latest batch

were made just last week.

Last week?

Okay, I got it.

Thank you.

I must hurry and give it to Mr. Shen.

Wait.

Let me see you off.

This time, from production to distribution, the numbers are not small.

I don't think it's just anybody.

You must stay safe.

Be careful.

Okay.

I'll be off.

Be careful.

Pick it up from inside.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Pack it compact.

Otherwise, it will spill everywhere

once the car brakes.

Sir.

You are driving?

What's your name?

I'm Xu Zhongfeng.

What a good name.

Work hard and follow me in the future.

You'll have a bright future.

Thank you, Sir.

Remember, this car is loaded with

all the case files regarding the counterfeit coins.

You must be careful on the road.

Don't make any mistakes.

Don't worry, Sir.

I promise I will deliver it well to Central Bank.

Good.

Take this packet of cigarette for the road.

Thank you, Sir.

Get going.

Assistant Wei,

you even came to escort the car yourself?

This is a very important matter.

It's better to come in person.

Are all the case files in the car?

Don't worry.

I personally supervised it.

I dare say it's not even one page short.

Thank you.

We're supposed

to be cooperating with you.

It's our duty.

Well then,

good luck with your journey, Brother.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Drive safely.

Be careful, okay?

Okay.

See you.

You work for the Central Bank?

Yes.

I'm Advisor Shen's assistant.

That position is quite high, isn't it?

It's okay. I'm just a regular employee.

You get paid a lot, don't you?

It's okay.

I can make do and support my family. And yourself?

I'm a breadwinner too.

These two years have been pretty tough.

It was fine two years ago.

There are many drivers now.

I am planning to

go to Jiangxi for two years.

They say you can make money driving military vehicles.

I'd like to drive a military vehicle.

Isn't there a war going on in Jiangxi?

War is good.

It's easy to earn a lot of money during a war.

I have two daughters.

Their dowries are enough to keep me busy.

How old are your daughters?

My younger daughter is eight years old, and the older one is fifteen years old.

They're all pretty good-looking.

They are also diligent. They can do anything around the house.

Wake up, Brother.

Brother!

Help!

Help!

Let me help you.

Here.

Here.

Brother.

Brother!

Brother!

Brother, wake up.

Are you okay?

Is anyone there?

[Shanghai Jiren Hospital]

Ruolai.

Sir.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

All the case files were burnt. This is the only box left.

Are you sure you are okay?

Yes.

Pull yourself together.

Don't be confused.

Get it down clearly.

Hey!

Yu Zhiying.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Don't move!

Don't move!

Put your guns down!

Put it down!

Mr. Shen.

What do you mean?

Yu Zhiying.

You are determined

to stand on the dark side, aren't you?

What do you mean?

Are you out of your mind?

Do you think I caused

this unlucky car accident?

You know who did it.

Let me tell you.

This case is through the roof.

I'll get to the bottom of this.

By then, it won't just be a punch to your face.

Someone's going to get shot.

We don't know who will take the bullet.

They've really got a lot of nerve.

In order to destroy the case files,

they intentionally caused a car accident.

When I'm through with this case,

I'll have them

all shot to death,

one by one.

I'm not worried about the case.

But it's you

who must be careful these days.

They're anxious and desperate now.

I'm afraid

they'll try to kill you.

I know. Please don't worry, Sir.

No matter who is behind them,

I'll get to the bottom of it.

Okay.

Come in.

Sir.

The renovation workers are here.

Renovation?

What renovation?

It started half a month ago.

Shanghai's Banking and Financial Services Union

donated a sum of money to us

specially for this renovation.

All the other offices are done.

You're all that's left.

Now?

They're all waiting outside.

Alright.

Anyway, be sure to do a check later.

Take the important things to the back room.

Remember to lock the door.

Yes, Sir.

Tell them to hurry up.

Okay.

All right, go on in.

Hurry up while you are at it.

Don't go to the room inside,

and don't move anything on the table.

Don't worry. We'll be as fast as we can.

[Renovation]

Hello.

May I know which ward Wei Ruolai is in?

Wei Ruolai? Let me check.

He is in 318.

Thank you.

Miss Shen.

Why are you here?

Why are you up?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sir asked me to finish the checkup.

It's okay. Let me do it.

I can only be discharged after the checkup.

How could you say you are fine?

The car exploded.

You must be checked out thoroughly.

Don't worry. I'm fine. Have a seat.

You were too lucky.

This time,

they were clearly after the case files.

They're really unscrupulous.

This case is so dangerous.

Are you sure you want to keep investigating?

Of course.

Counterfeit money disrupts the economic order.

The Communists would want to see such a result the most.

Why do you think so?

Counterfeit money

violates the interests of ordinary people.

What do you take the Communist Party for?

Then why are you trying to to talk me out of it?

I'm worried that you'll get hurt.

Do you think

this case will eventually reach an outcome?

There has to be an outcome.

It's such a big case of counterfeit coins.

If we investigate, we'll definitely get to the bottom of it.

Since you're so sure,

let's make a bet.

What bet?

For this case,

even if you get to the bottom of it,

it's doomed to end in nothing.

That's impossible.

[Jiren Hospital]

You're awake.

When did you come?

I just arrived.

Come.

Get up and have some soup.

I just made it.

I added goji berries and dates.

It's good for your health.

Be careful, it's hot.

It's not like I'm serving postpartum confinement.

You are lucky you are still alive.

Otherwise, I would have become a widow.

What are you talking about?

Slow down.

No one is taking it from you.

Mr. Wei,

your medical report is out.

Everything is fine.

You can be discharged now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Didn't you hear? I am getting discharged.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Can't you leave after you finish this?

I worked so hard on this soup.

I have something important to do.

You've always been so wasteful.

Wei Ruolai!

[The Central Bank of China]

Sir,

I was chatting with the driver,

and suddenly we were hit.

I am sure they did it on purpose this time.

They want us dead.

The case files were destroyed.

All the clues are gone.

Yu Zhiying is really bold.

Are you sure it was him?

Only the police department knew the transport route.

Could it be just an accident?

Okay, even if the crash was an accident,

the explosion definitely was not.

Sir.

I clearly saw someone start the fire with a cigarette butt.

Congyun, contact the media and put out an announcement as soon as possible,

to gather all available leads regarding the counterfeit coins.

Put out a higher reward.

Okay.

Sir,

I'm very familiar with people from the Rickshaw Support Society.

They fetch people from all over the city.

Once there's news of the counterfeit coins,

they'll tell me immediately.

Anyway, just be safe these days.

Don't walk alone at night.

This case goes way too deep.

We can't trust anyone

but ourselves.

Yes.

[Imported clothes]

Sir.

We're here.

[No. 3 South Mars Road]

South Mars Road.

Limar Road.

No. 285?

Yes.

Thank you.

If anything happens later on,

come and tell me right away.

Okay.

Thank you.

Madam, we're here.

Take care.

Here. Thank you.

Wait a minute. Let me get you change.

Here's 70 cents.

Take care.

Hao.

Zhuang.

Hao.

Did you find anything?

Fatty is back too.

Did you find anything?

McNeilly Road,

near No. 138.

25 Xijiang Road.

Xijiang Road...

No. 25?

Limar Road.

No. 5 South Mars Road.

285...

66 Avenue Petain.

Dumei...

Xijiang Road...

Dumei Road.

Xijiang Road.

No. 138 McNeilly Road.

Here, it's here.

Sir.

From the map,

all of these places seem very arbitrary.

These places are spread across almost the entire Shanghai.

But there's one thing that isn't arbitrary.

Psychologically speaking,

the counterfeiter must have subconsciously

avoided their lair

when distributing the counterfeit coins.

Because the farther it is from their lair,

the safer it is.

Zhabei.

Zhabei.

That's right.

Because there are the least reports from this area,

so this counterfeit coin factory

must be somewhere in Zhabei.

Congyun.

Inform the Security Department

to gather all the staff on duty.

We are going to Zhabei.

Okay.

Hello, is this the duty room?

Mr. Shen has ordered that

all security personnel,

except for those who are on duty,

are to get ready

and follow Mr. Shen to Zhabei to investigate a case.

Right away.

They found Zhabei so soon?

Could there be a spy in the factory?

No.

How's the thing that I asked you to do?

It's already arranged. Don't worry.

Is it reliable?

Their families are in our hands.

What could happen?

Let's move.

Mr. Shen, Assistant Wei,

we really can't find them.

Don't be discouraged.

They must still be in Zhabei.

Keep looking.

Yes.

You...

Let's go back. We'll keep looking.

Sir!

Sir!

I've got an update from the Investigation and Arrest Unit.

They found something.

Where is it?

A small workshop in Zhabei.

Let's go.

Mr. Shen.

We haven't slept for days.

We've finally found them.

After you.

Thank you.

We received a tip-off

that something is wrong here.

So I took my men

to try and track and control them.

But I didn't expect that

when they realised something is wrong,

they confronted us at gunpoint.

Fortunately, there are two survivors.

Sir, look.

You killed so many of my brothers.

I won't let you off!

Behave!

Sir.

This is the batch that is circulated on the market.
