Episode 30 recap: Xing Han Zhu approached Chen Bin.
Chen Ke Hai questioned Fang Li, asking if he considered him a threat and was worried he would escape. Fang Li put on an innocent expression and said it was all a show for Chen Bin's benefit. Liu Yuan Dong reported to Xing Han Zhu that there was something suspicious about Luo Bing. Xing Han Zhu instructed him to keep a record of everywhere Luo Bing went.
Fang Li criticized Chen Bin for his actions, and Chen Bin held a grudge. At that moment, Xing Han Zhu approached Chen Bin and told him that he didn't believe there were five trained agents from the Military Statistics Training Class in No. 76. It was too coincidental. Luo Bing was taken by Fang Li to meet someone who tried to make advances on her. Luo Bing pushed him away and received a slap from Fang Li.
Fang Li asked Chen Ke Hai what he was thinking when he asked Lao Zhang for money on behalf of Song Qing Shan. Chen Ke Hai said he had no other choice. Fang Li explained that it was all part of the act to deceive Chen Bin. Once the mission was over, they would be on his side.
Liu Yuan Dong reported to Xing Han Zhu about Luo Bing's activities and discovered that she had visited several shops that day. Xing Han Zhu instructed him to continue monitoring her closely. Fang Li said the mission had failed because Lao Bai pretended to surrender. Both Chen Ke Hai and Lao Bai were similar in their cleanliness. Fang Li asked Chen Ke Hai if, hypothetically, he had been rescued by the Communist Party at that time, would he have joined them? Chen Ke Hai didn't know, just like when he entered the training class. If there had been a choice, neither he nor Shen Qiu Ping and Qiao San Min would have died.
After experiencing so many things, Chen Ke Hai realized that Fang Li had become the "Zhongshan Wolf," and Luo Bing knew there was another purpose behind the debt collection, but she still chose to help Chen Ke Hai without hesitation. Luo Bing muttered about a white dove on the balcony, and Chen Ke Hai deliberately gave her a piece of candy when he returned home. Luo Bing playfully asked about the purpose of the money, and when she saw that Chen Ke Hai wasn't telling the truth, she joked about giving the account book from Changying Pharmacy to Fang Li when she went to collect the debt. It would be too obvious.
Chen Ke Hai realized that he had instructed Zhang the tailor to go to the pharmacy first before going elsewhere, so he wouldn't have gone only to the pharmacy and exposed himself. Seeing his anxious expression, Luo Bing smiled and said she had already taken care of it for him. She even gave him a gift. The hardware store next door was a Military Statistics base, and Mr. Zhang would be the first person they targeted for debt collection. The murkier the water, the better. It would buy them some time.
Lao Jin handed Fang Li a list of the people who entered No. 76 in August of the 30th year of the Republic of China. There were a total of 27 people, including Chen Ke Hai. At that moment, Chen Bin arrived at Zhang the tailor's shop, and on the other side, Xing Han Zhu learned that his men had caught two individuals trafficking prohibited goods at the pier. These individuals were associated with Chen Bin, and he instructed his men to detain them.
Mr. Zhang escorted Chen Bin out of the shop, offering free clothes for anyone associated with the Young Master. Chen Bin handed the shop's list to his subordinates and told them to keep a close eye on it. Luo Bing changed the curtains to blue, and Chen Ke Hai asked what that meant. Luo Bing recited their mission from the previous day and suggested meeting with Fang Li. Chen Ke Hai said their method of communication was too complicated and suggested using a potted plant instead.
The two of them joked and played with Little Bao. It was through Little Bao that they developed a connection, and Luo Bing felt a warmth she had never experienced before. Unconsciously, she was influenced by Chen Ke Hai and began to change. Chen Bin angrily asked Fang Li why he let Chen Ke Hai go, emphasizing that he alone couldn't protect him.
Fang Li warned him that he was becoming more audacious and told him to think about his future actions. Major Miao had already given his orders. Chen Bin was scolded and dismissed. While Chen Bin was monitoring the shop, Xing Han Zhu secretly approached him. Their meeting was observed by Lao Jin.
Fang Li brought Luo Bing and asked her if she had fallen in love with Chen Ke Hai. She expressed her respect for him, even surpassing Fang Li, because they were not compatible. He was flawless in everything, which could drive people crazy. Fang Li suddenly realized that he was not as good as Chen Ke Hai because he could easily drive people insane.
During their last visit to withdraw money, Fang Li's hesitation was dispelled when the pawnshop owner called her "Little Master." She exchanged the jade pendant for money without hesitation. Fang Li suspected that Chen Ke Hai used his family connections for an old scoundrel, but Luo Bing said that Chen Ke Hai was the kind of person who would help others without considering the consequences.
At that moment, Chen Ke Hai arrived with pastries and went to visit Song Qing Shan in the impoverished area. It turned out that Song Qing Shan had exposed his Communist Party identity as part of a collaboration with Chen Ke Hai. Xing Han Zhu handed the smuggled goods photos to Chen Bin.
Song Qing Shan comforted his mother, expressing gratitude for having such a loyal friend. He found a note in the pastry box where Chen Ke Hai had deliberately saved money for him to show filial piety to his aunt. Fang Li still doubted the timing of Chen Ke Hai sending Luo Bing to collect the money.
As Luo Bing left, Xiong Wei Yuan arrived early at Fang Li's room. He saw Luo Bing, this beautiful woman, and invited her to sit down together. Chen Bin asked Xing Han Zhu for a price, but he wanted valuable information in return. He mentioned his past deeds, from every battle to the present No. 76, and he wouldn't believe that there were five people from the Military Statistics Training Class in No. 76. His condition was for Chen Bin to monitor Fang Li.
Xiong Wei Yuan had a close relationship with Gang Cun. When he saw a box of gold bars, he commented that Li Shi Qun would not stay quiet for long. He looked at Luo Bing, who was being touched inappropriately, and when she struggled, she accidentally hit Xiong Wei Yuan. In an instant, Fang Li slapped Luo Bing.
After Xiong Wei Yuan left, Fang Li handed a handkerchief to Luo Bing to wipe away the bloodstains, saying that what happened just now was an accident and assured her that it wouldn't happen again. He promised that as long as she stayed by Chen Ke Hai's side, nothing would happen to her. Li Tang showed Chen Ke Hai a photo of Qiao San Min, saying that there would be a class reunion in a few days, and the deceased classmates would be represented by their photos.
Fang Li looked at the photos of the deceased classmates and couldn't help but cry when he saw Shen Qiu Ping. Lao Jin warned Fang Li to be careful with Chen Bin, as he had recently become close to Xing Han Zhu and went to Ningxing Street. Fang Li speculated that Chen Bin was planning something and asked Lao Jin to increase surveillance.
Chen Ke Hai noticed the injury at the corner of Luo Bing's mouth and guessed that Fang Li was the one who hit her. He advised her to leave Shanghai.
