[Deep Lurk]

[Episode 28]

Mi Lan had made up her mind.

No matter what, she would protect Kunwu.

It was her sole mission in Changsha,

the very reason for her existence.

He'll join us immediately once he sees the signal.

Let's head to Point B

and wait for him there.

Ling Han was almost certain

that the one summoning him wasn't anyone else

but Yun Hongshen.

He felt a surge of excitement,

having anticipated this outcome for a long time.

He was confident

he would be the one to laugh last.

Isn't it strange?

How come each one of the Yun family

is ridiculously clever?

He figured it out in no time.

The Yun family's century-old reputation wasn't earned for nothing.

Kids raised in families like that

are bound to be sharper than the rest.

And Yun Hongshen is trained for this.

His brother, being around him, would naturally pick up some skills.

Chief,

do you want to take a break?

It's going to be a long night.

No,

I'll hold on

a bit longer.

Chief.

Deputy Chief.

Wen Yeming called.

She's found Mi Lan's safe house.

Did she mention Yun Hongshen?

She didn't.

Alright,

send someone to search the safe house,

and tell Wen Yeming to get back here.

Yes.

I asked her to retrieve the codebook,

and she came back with a safe house.

She's really getting bold, isn't she?

Hello?

-Mr. Shi. -Chief.

Chief.

Mr. Shi.

Chief Ke,

what did I instruct you?

Secret arrests. Secret arrests.

Do you even know what that means?

Now look at the mess you've made.

The entire city of Changsha knows about it!

Don't even explain!

What happened?

It's chaotic outside.

This is outrageous!

We want justice!

The police have no shame!

What do you want?

Look at how unreasonable the police are!

This case

wasn't even under our jurisdiction!

Nonsense!

You're just playing a game of hot potato with the NBIS!

People, judge for yourselves!

I went to the NBIS during the day,

and they told me

homicide cases

aren't their responsibility

and sent me to the police!

Fine,

so here I am!

And now the police are telling me to go back to the NBIS!

I'm not leaving today.

I'll stay here

until someone takes responsibility for this case!

Old Madam Yun's body isn't even cold yet,

and the NBIS is bullying us like this!

It's shameless!

They're even accusing Yun Hongshen of being a Communist.

This is absurd!

Sister,

you have connections with Madam Chiang.

You have to talk to her about this.

This cannot go unanswered!

Hello.

Alright.

Wait for me there.

I'll be right there.

Young Master Yun.

Where are you going?

Follow me if you want to know.

Gangzi,

go!

Yun Hongshen

did not heed Yang Ziming's advice

to leave Changsha.

He decided to stay.

Yang Ziming knew well that

Yun Hongshen

would never carry the codebook on him—

it would be far too dangerous.

So, where would

Yun Hongshen hide the codebook?

Suddenly, Yang Ziming

noticed the clock on the wall.

The time was clearly incorrect.

He recalled that

this was the exact time

he last met with Yun Hongshen.

Could

Yun Hongshen be hinting that

the codebook was hidden inside the clock?

Didn't Mr. Shi say

to hand Yun Hongshen over to him?

Why is he so hung up on these minor details?

This is no minor detail.

If this gets out of hand,

more and more people will start paying attention.

If they can't take Yun Hongshen away,

Mr. Shi fears it might ruin the Director's plan.

And Yun Hongqi—what a handful.

None of the Yun family members

give anyone a moment's peace.

Hello?

Chief,

this is Ling Han.

Don't make any rash moves.

I'll send someone over immediately.

Director Gong,

there's an abandoned factory 200 meters north of

the intersection of Siping Road and Xinghua Street.

Ling Han will lure Yun Hongshen there.

For this operation,

you must bring Yun Hongshen

back to me unscathed.

I repeat—

he must be unharmed.

News about Yun Hongshen?

Ling Han said Yun had been tailing him,

and after a long standoff,

he's only now managed to report in.

Looks like these two

are locked in a deadly battle.

A perfect match,

wouldn't you say?

Let's see whose luck runs out first.

Officer Wen.

Miss Wen.

So you know everything?

I have a question.

If I'm not mistaken,

wasn't it your team that forced Shen to join the NBIS in the first place

to help you find the cipher key?

And how long has it been?

You're already turning on him,

burning bridges after crossing them?

Is this the rule of the NBIS?

Is it?

I'm working on a way to resolve this.

Resolve?

You mean listening to your superior

and digging up more evidence against Shen?

Say something.

Wen Yeming, don't tell me you don't know

how much Shen admires you.

The only person he trusts in the NBIS is you.

I'm not asking you to treat him as a confidant,

but at least don't become the accomplice who brings about his downfall.

How could I possibly harm him?

Whatever you're willing to do for him,

I'm willing to do the same—

no, even more.

Turn away!

You're in no position to say that.

You—wait.

It can't be.

You and Yun Hongshen have a secret hideout.

A garden built by a former Qing dynasty official.

After the fall of the Qing,

it was abandoned,

left untended for years.

You used to play there often when you were kids.

You'd take him to catch crickets,

crawl through dog holes, climb trees

-and perform on the stage. -Enough!

Alright,

I believe you.

I trust you.

Okay,

you should go back now.

I promise you

I'll do everything I can to save him.

Do you have a plan now?

I can't reveal too much just yet,

but

I've made some progress.

I'm worried that once he's caught,

Mr. Shi will take him away immediately.

If that happens, Yun Hongshen is finished.

We absolutely cannot let Mr. Shi

take him to Chongqing.

Don't worry—

I have a way.

I'll use high-level influence

to keep Shen in Changsha.

Good.

I'll go find the Chief right away.

Wait for my update.

Chief.

Deputy Chief.

What task did I assign to you?

I have solid reasons to suspect

that Ling Han is the real mole.

Ling Han claims he had Wei Xiaojun follow Yun Hongshen.

This is how those photos of Yun Hongshen making a phone call were taken.

Using those photos,

I've pinpointed the photographer's location.

The angle suggests the person was in a fixed position—

directly across from the phone booth,

at a parallel distance.

With Wei Xiaojun's skill level,

there's no way he could have tailed Yun Hongshen

this closely without being noticed.

So, I suspect

the photos weren't taken by Wei Xiaojun at all—

but rather by Mi Lan, from the window of her safe house.

So, you've been explaining all this

just to prove that

Wei Xiaojun didn't take the photos—

Mi Lan did?

Now, let me ask you—

was it really Yun Hongshen

who made that phone call?

There's another possibility.

Mi Lan might have photographed

Yun Hongshen making a call,

but the call itself

might not have been to Ling Han's office at all.

I know what you're thinking.

If Ling Han is the mole,

then the alleged call to the Director

doesn't hold up.

And if that's the case,

it clears Yun Hongshen of any suspicion of being a Communist,

right?

Yun Hongshen couldn't have made that call.

His goal was to expose Ling Han,

not to incriminate himself.

Where's the evidence?

Do you have any actual evidence?

We should compile everything we've discovered

and report it to the Director.

So he can reassess

Ling Han's whistleblower claims.

If it's inconvenient for you,

I can take this to Mr. Shi myself.

Do you even understand Ling Han's relationship

with the Director?

The Director personally recommended him.

If Ling Han turns out to be the mole, how will that reflect on the Director?

Are you really so desperate to save Yun Hongshen

that you're willing to throw caution to the wind?

I believe that when it comes to

someone's innocence and life,

the Director's reputation is secondary.

Watch your tone!

Chief,

calm down.

You know your student well—

she's always been persistent, focused on facts,

and committed to rooting out traitors

while preserving talent.

That's her way of showing loyalty to KMT and the nation,

isn't it?

However, Wen Yeming,

you know clearly the situation we're in.

Shi Changsheng's calling Chief every other minute.

The stress for the Chief is overwhelming.

And now you're adding to it by being stubborn.

There are tasks we must carry out,

but the key is in

how we handle them.

Don't you agree?

Yes.

However, Chief,

in my opinion,

Wen Yeming's approach has merit.

We should give it a try.

This Yun Hongshen matter

requires extreme caution.

Of course,

we can protect the Director's reputation

while also being thorough.

But if you keep someone

like Ling Han close,

who's both cunning and deceitful,

the risk is too great.

Enough—I've heard you.

Zhu He didn't fully trust that

Yun Hongshen was free of Communist ties,

but he was more convinced

that Ling Han was the true traitor.

Having already clashed with Ling Han,

Zhu He subscribed to the adage: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

If forced to take sides,

he would rather stand with Yun Hongshen.

Sir!

Come in.

Chief,

we've completed the search of the safe house

Leader Wen identified.

Please advise.

Send all findings

to Deputy Chief Zhu.

Do not archive the information,

but keep it confidential.

Yes, sir.

You. Go out!

Zhu,

I've thought over what you said. You're right.

I want to see the results of your investigation soon.

But I have one condition.

I understand.

Mr. Shi is still in Changsha.

We'll investigate Mi Lan and her associates discreetly.

You can rest assured—

I won't alert

anyone unnecessarily.

Now, have some water.

Don't bother scheming.

They'll be here soon.

You won't find the codebook.

As long as Wen Yeming can find it,

so can I.

I promise you,

today won't be the end.

Even if I die,

I'll expose your true identity

and ensure you get what you deserve.

From the moment you left the station,

it's been six or seven hours.

I'm sure

you've planned meticulously,

ensuring that

if capturing me fails,

you can still accuse me.

But don't forget—

you're finished.

Soon, you'll lose both your freedom and your life.

Meanwhile,

I have plenty of time

to dismantle every move you've made.

And most importantly,

Director Dai has no tolerance for Communists.

Yun Hongshen,

you've lost.

Yun Hongshen!

You're surrounded.

Don't put up any more futile resistance.

Surrender now!

What did Tang Zhiyi (the Viscount) tell you

before he died?

When you meet him yourself,

you can ask him directly.

Too bad.

You set the game,

but you won't see its conclusion.

Yet, a game without an end

might not be such a bad thing after all.

Thankfully, we made preparations in advance.

-Sir. -Don't even think about it.

I won't let you see him.

You were tasked with finding the codebook,

but you've been busy clearing his name instead.

This is the first time in your life

that you've disobeyed me.

I'm sorry.

I've disappointed you.

Disappointment is one thing.

But if the Director finds out about this,

your career will be over.

I don't care.

But I do!

I brought you back,

got you into school, and guided you into this profession.

I don't want to see you ruined

over an unsuitable attachment.

I want your life to have value.

Do you understand me?

I'm sorry.

Stop saying sorry.

Just go back.

Wait.

If you want to investigate Ling Han, go ahead.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sir.

How did you find me?

I've been following you the entire time.

Got to enjoy quite the show along the way.

Did Uncle Yang send you?

Yes.

What does he want to say?

He asked me to tell you this:

your idea

aligns perfectly with his plan.

First, make a spectacle of this situation.

Draw as much public attention as possible.

That way, the NBIS will have no choice but to proceed cautiously.

In turn,

Yun Hongshen's case

will have to be handled out in the open.

So, you've done a great job.

I've arranged everything.

Tomorrow, the real drama begins.

The NBIS thinks they can cover everything up—

not a chance.

Now it's your move.

Given the current situation,

you only have one job:

Keep stirring the pot.

As for

rescuing Yun Hongshen,

leave that to us.

Why?

Can't I participate?

You absolutely can't.

Why?

This is far too complicated.

You don't have the capability for it.

Fair enough.

You've been tailing me all day,

and I didn't even notice.

That's not what I meant.

Do you trust your Uncle Yang?

I do.

Then you should trust the Party

that Yun Hongshen and your father

were willing to give their lives for.

Alright.

But I'll stay prepared.

Just in case you need me.

It's not just in case.

We'll definitely need you.

For now, though,

before this matter is completely resolved,

don't go home.

Once the NBIS gets hold of Yun Hongshen,

they'll officially take over your family estate.

They'll also conduct a thorough search of Yun's Residence.

If you go back,

they won't let you stay.

Staying out

will make your movements

and our communication

much easier.

Right?

Alright.

Let them search if they want.

But there's one condition:

If they dare damage even a single brick of Yun's Residence,

I'll make them regret

ever stepping foot inside.

Deal.

I won't let you face this alone.

Madam.

Why haven't you gone home yet?

Don't want to?

How about you?

Are you alright?

Leader Yun is in trouble.

You must be feeling terrible.

If there's anything I can do to help,

just let me know.

One must first protect oneself to be able to help others.

In this situation,

you need to be extra careful.

I understand.

Don't worry.

Let me give you a ride.

Okay.

Officer Wen.

Officer Wen,

any news about the Second Young Master?

He's already been brought back to the NBIS.

But don't worry.

He hasn't suffered

and won't be mistreated.

As for the rescue plan,

I've made some progress.

The Chief has agreed to officially investigate

the person who framed Yun Hongshen.

And you...

Don't worry.

Young Master has made all the necessary arrangements.

It's not convenient for us to stay at home now.

Here's our phone number.

Call us if there's an emergency.

A pair of cufflinks

isn't worth making a special call about.

I believe

Jingyu must have hosted

a trusted and familiar guest

yesterday afternoon.

In her call, she mentioned Shanghai,

cufflinks,

and the left drawer.

At least one of these keywords

was meant to signal Yun Hongshen,

revealing the purpose of her message—

and to be precise,

the identity of her guest.

Chief,

I suspect the person who instructed Jingyu

to make that call was Yang Ziming.

Do you have any evidence?

Yes.

Yesterday, I saw a freshly cleaned ashtray

in the Yun family's living room.

No one in the Yun family smokes,

so it must've been prepared for a guest.

Given the guest smokes

and is someone familiar with Jingyu,

the pool of suspects is quite small.

I immediately suspected Yang Ziming.

After returning, I had Director Xu

check Yang Ziming's phone records—

both at his office and home.

It turns out his office received a call

from a furniture store

named Zhiya House.

I sent people to investigate.

When they arrived,

the store was completely abandoned.

Taken together,

this evidence suggests

Yang Ziming has a relationship with Yun Hongshen

beyond their family connection.

If the assumption

that Yun Hongshen is a Communist is true,

then Yang Ziming is likely his superior.

Director Gong, you are being unusually quick to respond today.

Not as fast as your ability to predict everything.

Alright.

Since you're the one who discovered Zhiya House,

you'll handle the follow-up investigation.

Yes.

Also, check Yun Hongshen's house thoroughly.

Now that things have escalated this far,

we might as well go all in.

As for Mr. Shi's reasons for coming to Changsha,

he might leave disappointed.

Got everything ready?

Yes.

Good.

Remember what I told you.

Director Gong,

I'll go with you.

Director Ling,

why are you being so polite today?

Usually, you jump right in uninvited.

See you there.

Let's go.

Directors,

this is where they hid their radio transmitter.

This is just an outdated and useless piece of information.

At most, it proves the furniture store

was a Communist contact point.

It won't give us any

more valuable leads.

Our goal is to find a breakthrough,

something to firmly establish

Yun Hongshen as a Communist.

Understood.

Tweezers.

[Yun Residence]

-Search thoroughly. -Yes.

Have you found anything?

Not yet.

Well, what do we have here?

They've done their homework,

tracking your every move

for days.

As long as the heart beats,

youth and freedom endure.

Classic Communist rhetoric.

White Clouds Beyond the Depths.

Could this be from Yun Hongshen?

Red Sun,

a Communist underground publication from Shanghai.

I think it's safe to conclude

that Yang Ziming instructed Jingyu to make that call.

Zhiya House was a Communist contact point.

They also sent people to the docks earlier

and discovered Zhang Xiancheng had been compromised.

They immediately notified Yang Ziming.

Yang Ziming was eager to know about Zhang Xiancheng's situation,

so he had Jingyu call and inform Yun Hongshen.

After their meeting,

they likely split up.

Yun Hongshen tried to capture me,

while Yang Ziming rushed back to Zhiya House

to evacuate their people

and destroy sensitive documents.

I had the technical team analyze

that loose thread we found at Zhiya House.

It's from high-end fabric.

There's no way the store's owner or staff

would wear something that luxurious.

And their customers wouldn't have

gone into the storage area either.

So, I'm certain

the clothing belongs to Yang Ziming.

And the murderer who killed Jingyu?

Yun Hongshen.

He returned home to destroy evidence

but was caught by Jingyu.

To protect his secret,

he had no choice but to silence her.

There were no signs of a struggle at the scene.

It's clear

Jingyu walked in willingly.

At that time,

the only people

she'd let her guard down for

in the study

would be Yun Hongshen

or Yun Hongqi.

That doesn't make sense.

If it were Yun Hongshen, he could have easily sent her away—

there was no need to kill her.

True.

A dead person can keep a secret,

but killing her would only

draw more suspicion.

Yun Hongshen returned to change the narrative,

not to create bigger problems

for himself.

It must have been a snap decision.

Our people arrived just as it happened.

He had no other choice

but to eliminate her.

You seem to have a knack for understanding the killer's mindset.

It's just speculation.

We'll need solid evidence

to confirm it.

How's that piece of paper coming along?

The technical team is working on restoring it.

Xu Bi is supervising.

As soon as it's restored,

he'll begin decoding it.

Minister Yang.

Chief Ke.

You dropped in uninvited.

What's the occasion?

Sorry to intrude.

May I take a look at your coat?

My coat?

Yes.

Sure.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Perfect fit.

Chief Ke,

you're quite attentive to detail.

Even small matters

don't escape you.

Minister Yang,

you've been very busy lately.

Chief Ke,

I just don't understand

what exactly you want to say.

Alright,

let's cut to the chase.

What was Zhang Xiancheng's mission in Changsha?

Zhang Xiancheng?

Who is Zhang Xiancheng?

We're both adults here.

Let's not play dumb.

I'm not playing dumb.

I'm genuinely clueless.

Fine.

Let me lay it out for you.

Zhang Xiancheng came to Changsha on a covert mission,

and you were his contact.

When something happened to him at the docks,

Zhiya House immediately

called you to report the situation.

To gather

more intel on Zhang Xiancheng,

you went to the Yun's Residence.

You had Jingyu call Yun Hongshen,

hoping to bring him back for a conversation.

Through the information Yun Hongshen relayed,

you realized the entire network

was compromised.

That's why

you ordered Yun Hongshen and the people

at Zhiya House to evacuate.

Now Zhiya House is empty.

But Yun Hongshen, focused on capturing Ling Han,

disobeyed your orders

and got himself arrested.

As for you, you stayed behind

for one reason—

to rescue Yun Hongshen

before things spiral

further out of control.

So you,

Yun Hongshen,

Zhang Xiancheng,

and the people at Zhiya House,

are all Communists.

Good story.

Clever plot.

However,

Chief Ke, I'd like to ask,

do you have evidence

for any of this?

Does evidence matter?

Ah,

I almost forgot—

the NBIS never needed evidence

when framing people,

right?

Evidence or no evidence,

I just want to know,

if I report everything I just said

to my superiors,

what do you think their reaction would be?

I recall hearing a joke recently.

You have a subordinate named Ling Han, right?

Rumor has it,

he's a Japanese spy.

Well...

Imagine if

Mr. Chen Lifu heard about this—

how do you think he'd react?

As expected of Minister Yang—

even your threats are artful.

Threats?

You misunderstand me.

I'm merely

stating facts.

Chief Ke,

please have some tea.

No need.

I have official duties to attend to.

I'll take my leave.

I won't see you out then.

Keep a close eye on him.

Yes, sir.

Were you followed?

No.

I was careful.

Now tell me,

why were you so desperate to meet?

Yun Hongshen slipped this into my house.

[Illegitimate Child]

Deputy Chief,

what does this mean?

Such a smart young man.

It's a shame he has to die.

It wasn't me.

I just arrived too.

My bullets are all accounted for.

Check if you don't believe me.

Something's wrong inside.
