Episode 17 recap: Zuo Shuang Tao started to take action.
Zhao An, disguised beside him, continued to pretend and gather information about the people in front of them. He reminded his companions not to act rashly. After the contacts had separated, they also began to move forward. Lao Tian and the contacts in front of them continued discussing matters related to the money and the mysterious person with the codename Xi Que. They believed that Xi Que, who was heavily injured, must be hiding somewhere and hadn't shown up yet. After Lao Tian planned to recover from his own injuries, he intended to join the operation. Once they separated, Zhao An continued to send people to track them from behind.
When Chen Jia Ping returned, he immediately found his companions and struggled for a while. Finally, he received approval from the organization to continue undercover. Upon hearing this good news, he became excited and didn't forget to inquire about the mission to secure Zuo Shuang Tao. However, the person in front of him hesitated and advised him to discreetly observe the other party's actions without arousing suspicion. The organization also emphasized the need to maintain a controlled relationship between spouses.
After discussing the matter concerning Zuo Shuang Tao, the companions brought up the existence of two undercover military intelligence agents in Yan'an who had stolen valuable items. Upon hearing about these despicable acts, Chen Jia Ping began to suspect a possible connection to the Shan Plan. When Brother Tian was captured, the people around Zhao An resorted to harsh interrogation methods to extract information about their operation in Shanghai. It was revealed that everything these people did was for the purpose of resisting the Japanese and saving the country. Despite their refusal to cooperate, Zhao An intended to uncover their plot using his own resources. Before leaving, Brother Tian requested a hometown cigarette to savor before his departure.
Once Han Lu's health improved, Mr. Shan Xia, who lived downhill, specifically visited her. However, at that moment, she preferred to be alone and contemplate. Seeing her despondent state, Mr. Shan Xia couldn't bear it and continued to encourage her to face the days ahead. When Zhao An sat down, a scout who had returned informed him about the Communist Party contacts. Zhao An learned from the scout that Chen Jia Ping was present at the scene, leading him to suspect that Chen might be one of the undercover Communists.
Now Zhao An also starts to reflect on the mistakes he made previously, namely, lacking patience and rushing into things, which led to his current situation. At this moment, he repeatedly reminds himself to pay close attention and be vigilant. When Han Lu wakes up from the bed, she realizes that she is lying completely naked, meticulously arranged, while the person in front of her continues to sit there, intending to take responsibility for her and help her successfully shoot a film that belongs to her.
After Chen Jia Ping returns home, he doesn't find his wife's presence. It turns out that Zuo Shuang Tao has secretly sneaked into the singing place, tracking the whereabouts of a woman in red. Inadvertently, he even witnesses her embarrassing scene of being pursued for debt. Later, Zuo Shuang Tao continues to mix in and ends up staining the dancer's clothes. After being expelled, she hurriedly follows him and takes out money from her bag to compensate for the damage. She also reveals her desire to become a dancer. Seeing her holding a lot of money, the dancer brings him home to teach him dancing. When she is not paying attention, Zuo Shuang Tao notices blood-stained bandages in the trash bin.
Before long, the person hiding in the room comes out and plans to silence Zuo Shuang Tao afterward. On the other side, Chen Jia Ping, sitting in the house, waits for his wife to return. However, at this moment, she remains cold towards him. The next morning, as Chen Jia Ping walks on the road, he suddenly encounters the corpse being transported away, leaving him furious.
