Episode 2 recap: Guan Xue probed Song Zhuowen.
Doctor Shi was captured, but Guan Xue had no interest in him at all. She was curious about Song Zhuowen beside her. She only knew that her savior's surname was Song, and she felt a little uneasy after learning his full name because it sounded somewhat refined. Doctor Shi conveyed the message to Song Zhuowen using sign language. Song Zhuowen silently memorized it and followed Guan Xue into the office of the Secret Service Department.
Guan Xue always remembered Song Zhuowen, and she didn't hide it at this moment. She had tried to find him later but was told that he had died. Guan Xue even forced herself to forget him for a while. When Song Zhuowen mentioned that he wanted to find his younger brother, Guan Xue asked if he had found him. Song Zhuowen denied it, and Guan Xue casually said, "His name isn't Song Zhuowu, is it? Maybe I can help you find him."
Pan Yue reported to Guan Xue that there was no information on Doctor Shi. Guan Xue believed that Doctor Shi might be trying to protect someone else, perhaps the one who fired the first shot. During the night, Song Zhuowen went to the train tracks to gather intelligence. However, Guan Xue and Pan Yue arrived with a search team, and they became suspicious upon seeing Song Zhuowen there.
At first, Song Zhuowen claimed he was just working overtime, but later he said he was working overtime because of a thief. After all, a thief was like the God of Wealth; stolen goods would be hidden here. Soon, Guan Xue's people found two gold bars, and Guan Xue didn't say anything further and left. Xie Yue's stall was being driven away by the Japanese, and Song Zhuowen quickly intervened and confronted them.
A police officer suggested that Xie Yue should obtain a business permit and come to the office after work to handle it herself. Xie Yue nodded in agreement. Guan Xue ordered Pan Yue to search the railway tracks thoroughly, but they didn't find anything. Guan Xue began to suspect Song Zhuowen. He used to have a hot temper and would explode without any provocation, but now he was just a submissive employee.
Guan Xue was a tough character in the Secret Service Department, wielding financial power. Song Zhuowen wanted to take advantage of Guan Xue to enter the Secret Service Department, but Qian Chongli believed that the risk was too great. Song Zhuowen's older brother, who had saved Guan Xue in the past, was named Song Zhuowu. However, they hadn't spent much time together, and Song Zhuowen believed that he could deceive her about it.
The superiors approved this matter, but the timing of when to proceed is still uncertain. Xie Yue did come to the location the police mentioned after work, but she was tied up and they had malicious intentions towards her. Song Zhuowen wanted to save her, but he saw through the crack in the door that Xie Yue killed the fat and bossy police supervisor with her own pen. Guan Xue arranged to have dinner with Song Zhuowen that evening, along with influential figures like Old Jin from the General Affairs Department.
Guan Xue took this opportunity to test Song Zhuowen. She found an excuse to hide and observe. When Hu Bin arrived at the office, he inquired about Song Zhuowen and Guan Xue, and even Guan Xue's younger brother, Guan Kai, showed up. Guan Kai rushed towards Song Zhuowen without saying a word and burst into tears upon seeing him. However, Song Zhuowen's reaction was seamless.
Only then did Guan Xue return to the office. Hu Bin continued to provoke and challenge Song Zhuowen, but Guan Xue intervened and stopped him. At that moment, the discovery of Du Bian's death, a Japanese man, drew attention as well. Song Zhuowen helped Guan Xue reconstruct the scene. Du Bian had attempted to harm an ordinary girl but was killed by her with a pen.
However, the first attempt at killing was unsuccessful, and the girl was not responsible for the second injury. Guan Xue and Song Zhuowen discussed the case, and before getting on the car, she asked him to join the Secret Service Department. However, the prerequisite was that he had to pass the entrance exam. After Guan Xue left, Hu Bin approached provocatively, but Song Zhuowen didn't back down either.
