This Chen Jitang

really has some skills with the economy.

Guangzhou's level of prosperity

is almost at the same level as Shanghai.

Sir,

Lin Qiaosong has arrived in Guangzhou.

He was restricted by the Suppression Headquarters in Ganzhou

and could only cooperate with me to the best of his abilities.

Now that he's here,

he has free rein.

Do you think Nanjing sent him here

to keep an eye on you?

It's expected.

How's the work arrangement here?

Lin Qiaosong is quite efficient.

He caught a big fish in just a few days.

It's a local gang.

They sold tungsten ore to the Japanese on the sea

and were caught red-handed during the deal.

What new tricks do you have?

Show me.

I can handle it.

Special Commissioner.

Put him down.

Let him rest for a while.

Didn't you hear the Special Commissioner?

He said

to put him down.

Stop pretending to be good.

You people

just want money.

Tell me.

How much do you want?

Hai Laoqi,

leader of the Triad Society's Wo Shing Tong.

You're quite a big figure.

I know all of that,

but let me tell you.

Other than smuggling,

you have another crime that is too big for you to carry.

You are not the customs anti-smuggling squad?

We are not.

You were arrested

by the Inspection Department's operation team.

We don't arrest smugglers.

We're after the communists.

Don't slander me.

Smuggling?

I admit it.

But colluding with communist is slandering.

Tungsten ore is sourced from Jiangxi.

Your supplier is the Communist Party.

We've investigated all of this.

You're dead meat this time.

Are you scared?

If you knew colluding with the Communist Party could get you killed,

what were you doing earlier?

I really didn't know he's a communist.

Come, take it.

Hurry, take it.

Captain Zhou.

This is the delivery list.

Please have a look.

Mr. Cheng, no problem.

I can tell Mr. Yan's handwriting

at a glance.

Have a safe trip.

Thank you.

The goods are all loaded.

The train will leave after they finish checking.

Okay.

Let's go.

I've confirmed with Hans from Germany

via telegram.

The deal is fine.

The previous deals went well,

but this one has a big volume.

Make sure nothing goes wrong.

Got it.

After all, this industry

has to stay underground.

It's a secret deal every time.

If we want the goods,

we wait for the supplier to contact us.

They'll give us a note

that says the time and place

of the exchange.

We'll pick up the goods at the scheduled time

and place,

and leave the money there.

Do you remember

the messenger's characteristics?

He's tall

and muscular.

He doesn't have a local accent.

What accent does he have?

It's sounds like one from southern Jiangxi.

Every time he comes,

he would buy a lot of seafood.

It doesn't look like he's buying it for his family.

It's like he's buying for a restaurant.

One of my men

thought he saw him at Shanwei Street.

If you see him again,

will you be able to recognize him?

Yes.

I have photogenic memory for people.

Captain Lin,

take Master Hai to Shanwei Street secretly.

Find this person as soon as possible.

Yes.

Sir, come eat here.

We have special seafood today.

It's our signature dish.

Let's eat here.

Please.

Table for three.

There are only a few left.

Did you remember correctly?

Yes.

Kong.

Sir.

Kong, there are spies.

Sorry.

Why are there spies?

Did we get exposed?

Probably.

I just saw Hai Laoqi and Lin Qiaosong.

They're looking for me.

Who?

Hai Laoqi and who?

Lin Qiaosong.

Lin Qiaosong is in Guangzhou?

Oh no

He is with Hai Laoqi.

It means he's also after the tungsten ore.

This is troublesome.

Would you like to eat?

No.

Thank you.

Is he here?

No.

He's not here.

Is that him?

No.

Take two men upstairs.

Check the kitchen too.

Okay.

Keep an eye on him.

Yes, sir!

Biao, lighter.

Lighter.

Not here.

Let's go to the next restaurant.

How is it?

They left.

I don't think we're exposed.

Captain, Special Commissioner,

Hai Laoqi's pick-up locations

are all circled in red.

They're very cunning.

The pick-up location changes every time,

but there'll always be a pattern to follow.

Isn't that right, Special Commissioner?

Yes.

Captain Lin, it seems that you've learned the method

of finding the counterfeit money factory in Shanghai.

We used to be rivals, and we're comrades now.

Isn’t that good, Special Commissioner?

Why don’t you show me

how to find the pattern.

There are only two ways to transport tungsten ore

from southern Jiangxi to Guangzhou.

It's either by rail

or by water.

So these pick-up locations

will definitely be concentrated

near the train station

or

near the dock.

Hai Laoqi said a batch of goods will arrive today.

The location happens to be near the train station.

Special Commissioner, what are your orders?

Huangsha Station will cooperate.

The train came from Shaozhou.

It declared it's transporting coal, right?

Yes, it will arrive at 3 p.m.

Shaozhou

isn't far from southern Jiangxi.

Tungsten ore looks like coal too.

Is everything ready?

Nothing will go wrong.

Tell the men along the line to not to alert them.

Let them in first.

Yes.

Gentlemen,

this is the goods list of this train.

Please check it.

It's coal from Shaozhou, right?

Train number 5156.

Yes.

Cigarette for you.

Cigarette?

Check the back carriage.

Yes.

Stay here for a while.

Okay.

No problem.

It's all coal. They can pass.

They can pass.

Okay.

Sir,

you can go now.

See you, sir.

The next stop is Huangsha.

Let's go.

Mr. Huang, everything is ready.

Hello.

They're on their way.

They'll arrive at Huangsha Station in an hour.

Catch them alive.

No problem,

as long as they cooperate.

We're here.

We're here.

Why is it all men outside?

There are no elderly or children.

You're right.

It could be a trap.

Don't worry.

Come with me.

I'm from the Inspection Department.

Get out of the way. Go.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Get down.

Go away.

Go away.

Hurry up!

Captain,

no one is in the carriage.

They have fast reflexes.

Unfortunately, there are too few of us.

We can't surround it completely.

Huangsha Station is more complex than Shanghai Station.

It's hard to supervise.

As long as the goods are still here,

we'll catch the people sooner or later.

Yes.

Go!

Hurry!

Go!

Why are you here?

We're here to help you.

Retreat.

Go!

Hurry up!

This is coal.

It's indeed tungsten ore.

Shen Tunan.

Special Commissioner,

the goods are all here,

but the people escaped.

Didn't you say you're good at catching people at train stations?

We're short-handed this time.

We couldn't complete the encirclement.

No need to explain.

I'm not blaming you.

The goods are still here.

We'll wait for them to appear.

Yes.

There's roughly

a dozen tons of tungsten ore.

Pretty much.

How long do you think smugglers

like Hai Laoqi would take to sell this batch of goods?

Hai Laoqi only deals with 2-3 kilograms.

Over 10 tons

is far beyond his capabilities.

So,

there must be some big shot behind him

involved in the smuggling of commodities.

If it's the smuggling of commodities,

the customs must know about it.

Someone in the higher-ups must be supporting him.

Special Commissioner,

other than being

Chen Jitang's butler, Yan Youmin is also

the supervisor of Canton Customs.

Captain Lin,

with your personality,

what would you do

if you encountered something like this?

I'll give the beast a warning.

Then give it a serious warning.

I'd like to see

how the beast will roar

when it's angered.

Stop!

Stop!

Who are you?

The Inspection Department is working on a case.

Tell your men to come out.

The Special Commissioner has something to say.

Yes.

You are all staff of Canton Customs.

You guard the government's doors against smuggling,

but please take a good look.

A dozen tons of tungsten ore

just slipped past

under your nose.

The government's losses

are nearly 10,000 yuan just in tariffs.

Who will take the responsibility for this?

Who?

Please don't be angry.

We failed to catch the smuggling.

We will investigate it thoroughly.

Captain Lin.

Take him away.

Yes.

What are you doing?

I'm British.

You have no right to arrest me.

Mr. Smart,

according to Article 8 of the Anti-smuggling Ordinance,

tariff evasion is a crime

for both Chinese and foreigners

and must be punished.

Do you think you're above

the law of China?

I'm going to the Chinese Maritime Customs Service.

I want to see Frederick Maze.

Are you resisting arrest?

I'll shoot you.

Try it if you don't believe me.

You want to see Frederick Maze?

Yes.

You think he can protect you

just because he's your compatriot?

Mr. Smart,

we have evidence that you took bribes.

Do you think Frederick Maze will danger himself

to protect you?

Let me emphasize it again.

The days of foreigners like you

taking advantage of the customs

are coming to an end.

Take him away.

Send him to the Nanjing government.

Yes.

Go.

The position of the anti-smuggling squad's chief

is vacant now.

Who will take over?

Captain Lin,

you will take over this position

during the tungsten ore case.

Yes.

Special Commissioner.

Mr. Yan, long time no see.

You’re impolite.

Why didn't you tell me

when you came to Guangzhou?

I didn't have time.

I just solved a case here

and seized some goods.

Look.

A dozen tons of tungsten ore.

A dozen tons, Mr. Yan.

Anti-smuggling

seems to be the Canton Customs's job.

I don't think

you have the authority.

This is Mr. Kong's handwritten official document.

Take a look.

Recently, the smuggling

of tungsten ore between Jiangxi and Canton has been rampant.

Countless people have colluded with or aided communists,

so Nanjing

appointed me as the Special Commissioner

to set up a special task force

to handle the tungsten ore case.

It also emphasizes that,

when necessary,

I can use all resources.

So now, the Canton Customs

is temporarily taken over by our special investigation team.

Mr. Yan?

Mr. Yan?

Any problems?

You have Mr. Kong's authorization,

so the Canton Customs will do our best

to cooperate fully.

Good.

Tonight, let's have a welcoming party for the Special Commissioner

at Ball Club.

No need to have a party

for now.

Mr. Yan,

look at all these goods.

If I don't find the mastermind,

I won't be able to sleep at night.

The siege on communists is in full swing now.

If I find out this batch of goods

really has something to do with the Communist Party,

it'll be a big case.

It might even alert

the chairman.

We will focus on the investigation.

As I said,

we will cooperate fully.

Thank you.

If the tungsten ore falls into their hands,

there might be changes

with Hans's side.

No,

didn't we already negotiate with Hans before?

Hans wants tungsten ore.

He doesn't care whose it is.

Besides, he and Shen Tunan

were classmates for years.

What should we do?

There are only two ways

to negotiate this deal now.

Either we lower the price

or we supply them faster.

You mean

we have to give it to Hans

at a lower price and faster speed than Shen Tunan.

Let's just transport the goods to Hans from Ball.

We'll be faster than them.

I'll go then.

Are you going on a suicide mission?

The Ball warehouse

is guarded 24 hours a day.

How can you get in there?

Got it.

I'll kill Lin Qiaosong

and disguise myself as him.

I'll make the guards leave and let you in.

Wouldn't it be easier if you just killed Shen Tunan?

It's a good idea to move the guards,

but we need to think about

who will do it.

We have intercepted

all of the Communist Party's tungsten ore

and got in touch with Hans.

However, I'm worried that

they will lower the price.

Good job.

It took us a lot of effort

to intercept the tungsten ore.

The least I can do

is accept 72 silver coins per 50 kilograms.

Remember. The key of this trip

is not only to cut off the Communist Party's tungsten ore trade line,

but also to build our own

tungsten ore trade line.

Got it.

Don't worry, sir.

The result will come out in a few days.

Thank you.

Finish up with Guangdong as soon as possible.

I'll personally celebrate for you in Nanjing.

Okay.

Before the deal is done,

anything might happen.

So, from now on,

unless they have a customs declaration form

with my personal signature, vehicles are only allowed

to enter.

No one can go out.

Don't worry.

I've installed

a pressure detector in the tungsten ore's zone.

If a box of tungsten ore is moved,

the alarm will go off.

In addition, I've arranged

at least two heavy machine guns on the rooftops

with guards 24 hours per day

to prevent a maritime invasion.

I've also arranged patrols outside at all times.

Special Commissioner,

for this mission,

you only need to be responsible for your own duties .

Leave the rest to me.

Good job.

Keep an eye on Yan Youmin.

Wei Ruolai may contact him

at any time.

Report to me immediately

about even the smallest things.

Yes.

Lin Qiaosong and Shen Tunan

followed us to Guangzhou.

It means they already know

we're doing business with Yan Youmin.

Last time at the train station,

they didn't catch Yuanbao and I.

They must be watching Yan Youmin now.

Meanwhile, Yan Youmin was supposed to trade with us,

but he hasn't seen us yet.

Yan Youmin is probably

looking for us all over Guangzhou now.

Plus, we have

evidence of his deal.

He'd love to kill me now.

So,

you want to...

That's right.

If I ask him to meet me,

he will definitely come.

Then Lin Qiaosong will follow closely behind too.

No, it's too dangerous.

We are already short-handed in Guangzhou.

I don't need to actually show up.

Just make him think I'm coming.

Yangquan Restaurant is our party's territory.

If we meet there,

Yan Youmin will think

I'm meeting him there

for safety.

At that time,

give him a sufficiently attractive bait.

Where is Chief Lei and Yan Youmin's

signed document?

In the box.

Sanqiangzi, go take a photo

and send it to Mr. Yan.

Hurry up.

By then, Mr. Yan will definitely go to the restaurant.

Lin Qiaosong will also follow over.

We'll have enough time

to transport the tungsten ore away.

Any news on Wei Ruolai?

Not yet, Mr. Yan.

He suffered so many losses at the train station.

I don't think he'll dare to come back.

We must cut ties now.

We can’t be affected

by the tungsten ore at all.

But Mr. Yan,

Shen Tunan has the tungsten ore now.

He won't give us a single penny.

Sir.

Come in.

Mr. Yan, there's a letter for you.

Tungsten wire?

Where is the messenger?

He left after handing this over.

Hurry and follow him.

Hurry!

Yes.

Wei Ruolai.

I knew

he would threaten me with this.

Mr. Yan,

Shen Tunan has the tungsten ore now.

We'll be in trouble if this is added to the mix.

Wei Ruolai

wants to drag me down with him.

What should we do now?

Let's do as he says.

Don't push him too hard.

Otherwise, he might act out of desperation.

At this point,

we can only take one step at a time.

Seize the opportunity,

destroy the evidence,

and silence him.

Stop!

Who are you?

Don't move!

I'll kill you if you move.

Who are you?

A messenger.

Tonight,

Yangquan Restaurant will treat Mr. Yan to dinner.

Three years

passed in the blink of an eye.

I heard your news

from the German Ambassador.

I didn't expect you to be in Guangzhou.

What kind of fate do we have?

I saw news of your death

on the Shanghai newspapers.

I even cried.

I felt regretful.

As an old Chinese saying goes,

drive someone into a fatal position and he will rise from the ashes.

Those things from before

are nothing to me now.

Then why did you suddenly contact me?

As far as I know,

Germany has never stopped

preparing for war these years.

The demand for tungsten ore

is higher and higher.

I just want to know

where Rhine Metal

imports your tungsten ore from?

All tungsten in the world is from China.

All Chinese tungsten is in Jiangxi.

Unfortunately,

Jiangxi

is not under the Kuomintang's control.

Where do you think I should import tungsten ore from?

Hans,

I came to Guangzhou this time

on behalf of the Kuomintang government

just for the case of tungsten ore smuggling.

I can tell you clearly

all the smuggling routes

of tungsten ore to Guangzhou

have been cut off by us.

If anyone wants to buy tungsten ore in the future,

including you, Hans,

they can only come to me.

It's useless to go to other people.

Also,

you should know very well

about the war situation in Jiangxi.

You mean Jiangxi

will return to your control soon?

What do you think?

Hello?

Yan Youmin's car is on the move.

Okay.

Notify the Special Commissioner that Yan is on the move.

Yes.

Special Commissioner, Captain wants me to tell you

that Yan Youmin is on the move.

Hans, I can't chat any longer today.

I can see that.

You have more important things to do.

Before I leave,

let me tell you something.

We intercepted

a large batch of tungsten ore from the communists.

This batch is currently stored

in the customs warehouse at Ball.

The dock is right beside it.

If you need it,

I can have them load the ship

and set sail now.

Of course, I can even

fill out the customs declaration form for you.

But that batch of tungsten ore

was seized by you.

You had no expenses.

For our future cooperation to have a good start,

you should lower the price

a bit more.

How much do you want?

Seventy silver coins per 50 kilograms.

Seventy silver coins per 50 kilograms.

You learned how to bargain

after living in China.

But let me be frank with you.

The minimum price given by the Kuomintang government

is not that low.

I can help you fight for a lower price,

but this will be

up to Mr. Kong.

He is abroad now.

I need to discuss

the final price with him.

I'll give you five days

to confirm the final deal price.

Then we can sign the contract.

Wish us a pleasant cooperation.

Cheers.

See you.

Go to the dock.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Picking up the tungsten ore.

Captain Lin said

that the tungsten ore can't leave the warehouse

without the Special Commissioner's signature.

Mr. Hans of Rhine Metal

just made a deal with your Special Commissioner.

He signed it personally.

See for yourself.

Wait.

But we have to forge the customs declaration form too.

That's easy.

I imitated Shen Tunan's signature

and signed some documents before.

I just don't know the price

he gave Hans.

Do you have the 72 Industries Business Daily from these days?

Yes.

Here.

Ask the captain if this is true.

Okay.

Wait a minute.

What's the situation?

Yan Youmin is here.

Wei Ruolai is not here yet.

Keep watching.

Yes.

Okay.

I'll go in and meet Yan Youmin.

Sir,

isn't it too dangerous for you to go in alone?

It's okay. He won't dare to do anything to me.

When Captain Lin arrives,

tell him to guard the outside.

I'll go in first.

Okay.

Who is it?

What are you here for?

Bullet delivery.

Okay, put it here.

Help yourself.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Yan Youmin is here,

but Wei Ruolai hasn't arrived.

Where's the Special Commissioner?

He went in.

Fool.

Listen carefully.

Guard the front and back doors.

If you see Wei Ruolai, you don't need permission.

Act immediately.

Yes.

Go.

Captain,

the Special Commissioner and Hans

have basically reached an agreement.

Seventy silver coins per 50 kilograms.

Are you sure?

I heard it with my own ears.

They even shook hands.

Looks like negotiations went well.

You let Mr. Shen go in alone?

What if something goes wrong?

You're really something.

Captain.

What’s wrong?

They said someone brought

a customs declaration form signed by the Special Commissioner

to transport the tungsten ore away.

Which company?

Rhine Metal.

That means Mr. Shen reached a deal with Hans.

Otherwise, he wouldn't sign it.

Go confirm it.

See if the declarations form

says 70 silver dollars per 50 kilograms.

If yes, let them go.

If not, arrest them all.

Yes.

Are you crazy?

That's the German representative of Rhine Metal.

Can you not delay Mr. Shen's business?

If he's problematic,

I don't care which country he's from.

When did the Special Commissioner go in?

It's been a while.

Let's go.

Lin Qiaosong.

Yes,

it's 70 silver dollars per 50 kilograms.

Did you look at the signature?

It's the Special Commissioner's own signature.

Yes.

Grant access.

Yes,

Okay,

go in.

Hurry up.

Move those two first.

Put them here.

Hurry up.

Here, support that side.

Help me.

Be gentle.

It’s lively here.

Mr. Yan,

you have a good appetite tonight?

Is your friend not here yet?

Sir, Rhine Metal

have taken the goods.

They should be on the ship now.

Everything went well.

What ship?

Oh no.

Everyone!

Go to the dock!

Get in the car.

Go to the dock.

Remove the plank.

Remove it on that side too. Hurry.

Everyone,

get on the anti-smuggling boat.

Take the heavy machine guns.

Lin Qiaosong.

Hurry up.

Doggie,

Kong,

the ship has left the dock.

Yes.

Hurry up!

Hurry, get on the anti-smuggling boat!

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Get on the boat!

Hurry!

Get on the anti-smuggling boat.

Pull the alarm.

Stop that ship at all cost!

Let's go.

Put out the fire!

What are you waiting for?

Put out the fire!

Hurry!

Put out the fire!

Find a way to put out the fire.

What are you doing?

How did the tungsten ore get out?

Why is it on the cargo ship?

Customs declaration form.

Put out the fire!

Special Commissioner,

your signature is here.

This is not my handwriting.

I've never signed this customs declaration form.

This...

What about the price?

This price

is exactly the same as the price

you negotiated with Hans,

Special Commissioner.

Are you asking me?

You're asking me?

When I negotiated with Hans,

only your agent was there.

Either he revealed it to Wei Ruolai,

or you did.

Special Commissioner,

please watch your language.

Don't insult our loyalty

with your doubt.

My men risk their lives

for the Kuomintang.

What's the use of loyalty?

The tungsten ore is gone.

What's the use?

Okay.

Special Commissioner,

I will

report this truthfully to the Suppression Headquarters.

If it's my fault, you can punish me however you want.

But now,

the goods have left Guangzhou.

We can't let the people leave Guangzhou too.

Then go catch them.

Go!

Yes.

Tell them to get in the cars.

Yes.

Get in the cars. Hurry.

The goods have been shipped out successfully.

What will you do

about the next batch?

Don't worry.

As long as we have the tungsten ore,

the shipment won't be a problem.

Will Wei Ruolai be arrested?

It's hard to say.

But he has been in danger countless times

and he's gotten away each time.

If I can see him again,

I should have another drink with him.

From now on, I will only

negotiate the tungsten ore deal with Wei Ruolai.

Mr. Hans,

I can use the lowest price

and the fastest speed

to give you the tungsten ore.

You don’t have it in your hands now.

How will you give it to me?

I can't trust you now.

Sixty-five silver coins per 50 kilogram.

What do you mean?

I can sell it to you

at a price of 65 silver coins per 50 kilograms.

This is the lowest price I can offer.

I believe

Shen Tunan can give me a lower price.

Why don't you ask him tonight?

Seventy silver coins

was the lowest price that China exported tungsten ore for

last year.

From what I know about the Kuomintang,

they're corrupted

and trade profits are exploited at all levels.

They won't give a price lower than this.

If what you said is true,

we'll meet at the dock tonight,

but you must find a way

to send the tungsten ore to the ocean freighter.

Then our deal will be completed.

Okay, no problem.

I'll wait for you at the dock.
