Episode 3 recap: Chen Ke Hai lured Zhou Shao Zu into a trap.
Li Tang and Zhang Bei sneaked out at night. Li Tang managed to escape, but Zhang Bei was caught in the act. After their birthday celebrations, Fang Li asked Chen Ke Hai why he celebrated his birthday in advance. He noticed Chen Ke Hai's deal with the driver and wondered if he was planning to leave. Just as Chen Ke Hai mentioned the word "mole," patrol personnel arrived at the cafeteria. Taking advantage of the situation, the three of them escaped. Fang Li mistakenly believed that Chen Ke Hai had been identified as the mole and would leave the following week.
Suddenly, the alarm bell rang, and everyone gathered at the training field. Zhang Bei was suspended from the horizontal bar, and Li Tang was expelled and would never be recruited again. Zhang Bei was subjected to a severe punishment as a deterrent. The special training class strengthened its security measures and cut off all external communication.
Fang Li secretly went to Zhang Bei's dormitory and found a letter. He deliberately forged the handwriting and tampered with the contents. Chen Ke Hai invited Fang Li to have a meal together and promised to explain everything to him in a couple of days. Fang Li promised that he wouldn't let anything happen to Chen Ke Hai.
Fang Li brought a jug of water to see Zhang Bei. He gave him some water to drink and told him to remember his name. He also said that Zhang Bei wouldn't live to see another day because of the investigation into the mole. Fang Li's belongings, which hadn't been searched in advance, likely contained incriminating letters of collusion. Fang Li actually framed Zhang Bei to save Chen Ke Hai.
Chen Ke Hai discovered the forged letter made by Fang Li. He and Shen Qiuping saved Zhang Bei and questioned Chen Ke Hai about his actions, suspecting that it was for personal revenge. Fang Li became angry, and the misunderstanding deepened between the two. Chen Ke Hai realized that Fang Li had become extreme because of his concern for him.
Fang Li entered the instructor's office and found it empty. He calmly sat down, feeling the chair. At that moment, the instructors entered the room and deliberately discussed the mole's plan. They also belittled Fang Li, saying he was narrow-minded and prone to extremes compared to Chen Ke Hai, emphasizing the difference in their backgrounds and demeanor. They even used traditional Chinese medicine to describe this group of trainees. Instructor Miao received a phone call stating that the mole had appeared and an immediate meeting was called.
Fang Li, holding the forged letter in his hand, walked out of the office, heartbroken. Chen Ke Hai saw him in a wet state and expressed concern, but Fang Li rejected him, stating that he was not the mole and would never leave.
Zhou Shao Zu arrived in Hangzhou to take charge. The trainees, including Chen Ke Hai and Shen Qiu Ping, posed as a couple to lure out Zhou Shao Zu. Their plan was to lead Zhou Shao Zu to a teahouse and leave the rest to Coach Jin, while Fang Li was responsible for sniping. They didn't understand why they had to go through such elaborate means instead of simply shooting Zhou Shao Zu. Instructor Miao clarified that their superior's order was to capture Zhou Shao Zu alive. Instructor Miao saw through Chen Ke Hai's plan and knew that Fang Li wouldn't leave on Wednesday. Chen Ke Hai risked his life to vouch for Fang Li's innocence. The reason Instructor Miao had Chen Ke Hai lure Zhou Shao Zu was to expose the mole. The previous closed training session also cut off their communication, and this time, either the mole would kill Zhou Shao Zu or they would attempt a rescue. Only by successfully bringing back Zhou Shao Zu alive could Fang Li's innocence be proven. Da Chuan was concerned that the trainees were inexperienced and that there might be danger if the mole interfered. Instructor Miao decided to see what they were capable of.
Since the incident where Fang Li framed Zhang Bei, Shen Qiu Ping had a negative impression of Fang Li, believing that he had no boundaries. Graduation was approaching, and Shen Qiu Ping mentioned that she had made a wish before, hoping for her parents' revenge and also hoping to be in the same group as Chen Ke Hai. She presented Chen Ke Hai with her mother's pocket watch, which, when opened, revealed a photo of Shen Qiu Ping. At that moment, Chen Ke Hai understood Shen Qiu Ping's feelings. They began executing their mission, posing as a married couple and visiting Zhou's residence. There, they encountered Li Tang but did not expose each other's identities and maintained a pretense of being relatives. Zhou Shao Zu noticed the hand warmer brought by Chen Ke Hai and realized that its year was fake. Chen Ke Hai suggested having a meeting at a teahouse, but his proposal was rejected. This angered Shen Qiu Ping, who stood up in anger. Chen Ke Hai then suggested that someone else go to the teahouse to retrieve the items with the money while they waited at Zhou's residence. Chen Ke Hai saw through Zhou Shao Zu's scheme, so they decided to let Li Tang go to the teahouse to retrieve the hand warmer. The instructors who lay in ambush at the teahouse realized that the person who came to retrieve the hand warmer was not Zhou Shao Zu, so they left. At that moment, Zhou Shao Zu received a phone call informing him of the change in the situation and the cancellation of the transaction. When Zhou Shao Zu pretended that his daughter had invited him to admire the moon and tried to escape, Chen Ke Hai saw through his ruse, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides. Zhou Shao Zu managed to escape outside, and Fang Li sniped the people around Zhou Shao Zu, while Zhou Shao Zu hid in a water barrel. Zhou Shao Zu attempted to bribe Chen Ke Hai with a box of gold bars, but Shen Qiu Ping, seeing him as a traitor, wouldn't let him go. At that moment, Zhou Shao Zu recognized Shen Qiu Ping as Shen Yi Fei's daughter from her expression and tone. Shen Yi Fei had defected to Japan five years ago, and last year, he sold information to the military intelligence bureau. Angry and desperate, Shen Qiu Ping attempted to kill Zhou Shao Zu but ended up being captured by him instead.
