Episode 15 recap: Fang Li embezzled Mr. Zhu's property.
When Fang Li left the warehouse, he directly killed his comrades. Chen Ke Hai secretly infiltrated Fang Li's house at night and stole intelligence in a secret room. As he was leaving, Tian Liu, who was waiting at the door and fell asleep, unintentionally encountered Chen Ke Hai.A woman reported to Chen Ke Hai about Chen Bin, who had abused his authority and illegally detained her father. Chen Ke Hai realized that she was Mr. Zhu's daughter because Mr. Zhu was arrested for suspected communist activities. At that moment, Chen Ke Hai noticed someone eavesdropping at the door. Fang Li warned Tian Liu not to challenge his limits.
Instructor Miao ordered the Military Statistics to kidnap Fang Li. Fang Li suspected that they were from the Military Statistics and used his wit to trick them into untying him, allowing him to strike back. Instructor Miao went downstairs to have a private conversation with Fang Li. Fang Li handed over the intelligence obtained from the Japanese army to Instructor Miao. Before leaving, he revealed his true identity, and he personally killed his fellow comrades.
Tian Liu, intoxicated, arrived at Fang Li's house, leaving her costume behind. Despite knocking on the door repeatedly, there was no response, so she had to sit and wait at the doorstep. Chen Ke Hai heard gunshots and arrived at the warehouse with Lao Jin. Fang Li emerged unharmed and ordered his men to take care of the bodies inside. In recognition of the protection provided by his two colleagues, Fang Li specifically increased their compensation.
Chen Ke Hai tried to persuade Fang Li to stop, pointing out that the wealth in his hands could last for two lifetimes. However, Fang Li claimed that he had no choice. Chen Ke Hai noticed that Fang Li had injured his shoulder and insisted on taking him to the hospital. Lao Jin also mentioned his own infected wound from years ago and advised Fang Li to be hospitalized.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Ke Hai went straight to Fang Li's house. He found a drunken Tian Liu at the door and quietly sneaked into Fang Li's house to search for information. When he was about to leave, Tian Liu noticed him and called out to him. She thought she was dreaming and couldn't believe it was real. She touched Chen Ke Hai's face and confessed her feelings, while Chen Ke Hai reciprocated and expressed his affection for her. After she closed her eyes and fell asleep again, Chen Ke Hai left silently.
The next day, Fang Li returned home and found Tian Liu sleeping at the doorstep, hugging a pillar and wearing her coat. Meanwhile, Tian Liu was muttering Chen Ke Hai's name and expressing her liking for him. Fang Li couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she pinched Tian Liu's ear. When Tian Liu woke up, she claimed to have seen Chen Ke Hai. Fang Li specifically invited Chen Ke Hai to a Japanese bar and subtly mentioned that Tian Liu had slept at his place the previous night and claimed to have seen him. Chen Ke Hai jokingly replied that he had been with Lao Jin all night, suggesting that he couldn't have been in two places at once. Frustrated with his explanation, Fang Li admitted that Tian Liu was just dreaming and told Chen Ke Hai to express his feelings to her, mocking Tian Liu's self-centered behavior. Fang Li was angry and bothered by Tian Liu's liking for Chen Ke Hai.
Knowing that Fang Li didn't invite him for a friendly meal, Chen Ke Hai told a story to test Fang Li's judgment. He recounted an incident during the Battle of Changsha, where a Nationalist captain died from a gunshot with a specialized weapon used by the Ministry of National Defense. The shot was fired at close range, leading everyone to believe it was an inside job. As a result, the Japanese broke through the Nationalist defense. Fang Li didn't believe that one person could determine the outcome of a battle. Chen Ke Hai continued the story, revealing that the captain fought until both of his legs were completely shattered, and it was his adjutant who couldn't bear to see him suffer and killed him. The official news reported that the captain died heroically in battle. Fang Li suspected that the adjutant used it as an excuse, and Chen Ke Hai admitted that he was the adjutant. Chen Ke Hai vividly remembered the battle and was disappointed with the weakness of the Nationalist army.
Chen Ke Hai asked Fang Li why he joined Agent 76, and Fang Li lied, claiming that he stood on the winning side. Chen Bin arrested a wealthy businessman named Mr. Zhu, alleging that communist correspondence was found at his home. They believed Mr. Zhu monopolized a significant portion of the tobacco business's funds, and Liu Yuan Dong was also detained in Agent 76. Chen Ke Hai instructed his subordinates to gather information and use their connections to release Liu Yuan Dong, as there were no major issues. Mr. Zhu's daughter reported Chen Bin to Chen Ke Hai, who noticed someone eavesdropping at the door. He loudly declared that he would handle the matter justly and quietly advised her to leave Shanghai as soon as possible. Fang Li intentionally placed the correspondence in Mr. Zhu's home with the aim of seizing his wealth, but he was considering letting his daughter go for the time being.
Luo Bing's uncle was captured by the military police, and although they found the perpetrator who killed the Japanese officer, the Japanese arrested people on an entire street, led by Xing Han Zhu. Chen Ke Hai promised to do his best to help and found a hotel for Luo Bing to stay in. Fang Li subjected Mr. Zhu to torture in order to force him to confess the whereabouts of the money obtained from selling the foreign houses. Mr. Zhu knew that once he revealed the money's location, his life would be over. Fang Li threatened him by using his daughter, Zhu Pei Qi, and he had no choice but to beg Fang Li to spare his daughter and admit that the money was in HSBC Bank. After Tian Liu's acting performance, Fang Li warned her not to test his patience because she had called Chen Ke Hai, and he intimidated her.
