Episode 5 recap: The mantis catches the cicada, while the yellow bird is behind.
Guan Xue noticed that the driver she had sent for procurement had returned alone, without seeing Song Zhuowen. Immediately, she called the driver to her office. Guan Xue keenly sensed that something was amiss. Meanwhile, Song Zhuowen was investigating the person in the checkered shirt and discovered that he had visited a clinic where the doctor confirmed that he was seriously injured.
Pan Yue, who was also investigating the matter, heard that someone had recently inquired about the same person. He resorted to coercion and enticement to make them reveal the person's appearance and features, which led to the capture of a yellow cart driver named Shi Tou. Soon after, Pan Yue also found out that there was a subsidiary branch of the Rejuvenation Hall near the checkered shirt man's residence. Song Zhuowen, who was already investigating, went from one Rejuvenation Hall to another, asking questions at each one.
Pan Yue quickly thought of the restaurants. The man in the checkered shirt was a single man with a sprained foot, unable to leave his house, so he would definitely order meals for delivery. Pan Yue started investigating the restaurants, but Song Zhuowen had already found the restaurant that had delivered food to the target. Unfortunately, at that moment, Pan Yue and Hu Bin found him and announced their intention to capture him. The two split up, with one searching for the man with the sprained foot wearing a checkered shirt, and the other chasing after Song Zhuowen, who was wearing a long windbreaker.
Song Zhuowen managed to shake off Pan Yue and his team and quietly went to the home of the man in the checkered shirt. He was cautious when he heard a knock on the door, and he became quite excited when he saw Song Zhuowen. Although he was a comrade, his leg was crippled, and he wanted the organization to provide him with an explanation. He was willing to give up the intelligence in exchange for money. Acting swiftly, Song Zhuowen shot and killed him before Pan Yue caught up, so Pan Yue only saw a corpse.
Guan Xue had mentioned that he could use his gun when faced with danger, so Pan Yue had nothing to say. However, outside the window, he found a tobacco pipe containing intelligence.
Song Zhuowen had already taken off his windbreaker, and his appearance now had a suitable reason because of Guan Xue. Pan Yue and Hu Bin were helpless. Hu Bin was angry because Song Zhuowen had killed a lead, but Guan Xue gave Song Zhuowen confidence, and Hu Bin dared not speak.
The tobacco pipe was inconspicuous, but its contents were complex. Guan Xue locked the leads in a safe and asked Song Zhuowen to accompany her on a trip. Guan Xue went to the barber shop to wash her hair, and Song Zhuowen used the opportunity to take Guan Xue's keychain, and he secretly made a duplicate key without knowing that it was all part of Guan Xue's plan.
Guan Xue asked Song Zhuowen to keep an eye on Pan Yue and Hu Bin because only by pushing the people above out of the way would there be a chance for promotion. Song Zhuowen had also investigated and found that the two of them didn't have much to offer. A new boss was coming, and the Special Operations Department was busy cleaning up. Guan Xue was nervous, and as soon as the new boss arrived, he fell victim to an ambush.
Guan Xue went to meet the new boss, and because of the ambush, she was frightened. However, the boss said it wasn't Guan Xue's fault. The other party had followed from Tokyo. Hu Bin became increasingly displeased with Song Zhuowen and made arrangements in advance to teach him a lesson the following week. Without hesitation, Song Zhuowen brought up Guan Xue and skillfully argued, leaving Hu Bin unable to utter a word.
After Guan Xue and the boss finished reporting, they left the ward. During a meal break, Song Zhuowen called Qian Chongli and the conversation was filled with coded messages. Song Zhuowen had originally planned to slip away at a certain time, but no matter what, Pan Yue and Hu Bin refused to let him go. They even called several girls, but to Song Zhuowen's surprise, he saw Xie Yue among them.
