Episode 20 recap: The Japanese forcibly occupied the Dajiu Restaurant.
Tan Yao Heng suddenly realized that there might be a problem. The reason they were captured was because there was a Japanese chef inside the restaurant, and they had their eyes on the Dajiu Restaurant, wanting to seize it for themselves. Chen Shan He learned from Liao Liuli that he was the one who poisoned the Japanese translator, so they needed to know what the Japanese's perspective was. However, Liao Liuli didn't want to help Chen Shan He.
In fact, all of this was orchestrated by the Japanese themselves. The person who died was a Chinese, and he was already in critical condition due to smoking. Their goal is to take over the Dajiu Restaurant. Liao Liuli happened to overhear all of this and informed Chen Shan He about it. But now it's not easy for Chen Shan He to rescue his younger brother and Tan Yao Heng. Chen Shan He also sought help from the Hongyu Gang, but the people they currently have on hand are unable to assist.
Jin Hui Rong found out about this and said she would find a way to rescue Chen Wei Qing as soon as possible. However, Chen Shan He didn't want Jin Hui Rong to take risks because her main task was to protect Chen Li Xia.
Chen Shan He had no choice but to approach Ruan Fei Zhou. Ruan Fei Zhou didn't expect Chen Shan He to come looking for him. Ruan Fei Zhou's only purpose was to get Chen Shan He's help, but Chen Shan He directly refused.
He also knew that everything comes with a price. On the other side, Jin Hui Rong was discussing the next course of action with other members of the organization, hoping that everyone could unite and resist the Japanese. The Communist Party's underground party held various activities in Guangzhou to mobilize the people to resist the Japanese, and the anti-Japanese activities never stopped.
Chen Shan He told the Hongyu Gang that if Chen Wei Qing was rescued, the three of them would have to leave Guangzhou. Chen Shan He also told his sister to go back and pack up their things and leave immediately. However, the Hongyu Gang received news that workers were being asked to go on a collective strike at the dock. Chen Shan He knew the situation was not good.
Overnight, all the shops on the street closed, and the common people were unwilling to do business. Liao Liuli went to the prison and told Chen Wei Qing and Tan Yao Heng that if they handed over the Dajiu Restaurant, they could be saved and wouldn't have to die. Chen Wei Qing asked about the conditions set by Ruan Fei Zhou, and Liao Liuli said that from now on, Chen Shan He would be under Ruan Fei Zhou's control. Chen Wei Qing naturally didn't believe that his brother would become a traitor.
In fact, Chen Shan He had other plans. Ruan Fei Zhou also informed Chen Shan He that he was already in the process of rescuing people.
Chen Wei Qing told Liao Liuli that he could give the Dajiu Restaurant to the Japanese, but the condition was not to harm his brother. However, when the boss returned, it had to be returned to the boss. Tan Yao Heng said he would not work with the Japanese and intended to leave with Chen Wei Qing.
Chen Wei Qing ultimately handed over the restaurant to the Japanese and publicly drafted an agreement. However, the Japanese chef felt somewhat guilty about it, while the Japanese officer thought it was only natural. Both sides signed and sealed the transfer agreement. Chen Wei Qing glanced at Tan Yao Heng, and when he left, he only took the signboard of the Dajiu Restaurant.
Surprisingly, Jin Hui Rong and her group were ambushed by the Japanese. Jin Hui Rong's hand was injured, which greatly worried Chen Li Xia. The Japanese wanted to establish a medical clinic in Guangzhou, and Ruan Fei Zhou's task was to turn all industries in Guangzhou into Japanese-run businesses. They wanted to have contact with all the people in Guangzhou.
The Japanese pharmaceutical personnel now wanted to control the entire market and were looking for Chen Shan He. Ruan Fei Zhou believed that Chen Shan He's business was smuggling Western medicine, and they could corner him from that aspect. The leader of the Hongyu Gang was currently most anxious to do business quickly because they still had many subordinates waiting to be fed.
Now he wanted to produce fever-reducing pills, and in the end, Chen Shan He agreed. However, the next day, Chen Shan He learned that the Hongyu Gang had been captured by the military police, and even their leader had been shot dead. Chen Shan He went to find Liao Liuli for information, and Liao Liuli told him that the Japanese actually wanted to ruin them financially.
Chen Shan He bribed Liao Liuli and, after finding out who was behind the Japanese actions, took advantage of the night to use his homemade bomb to blow up the opponent's pharmacy, filling the room with excrement. In fact, Chen Shan He didn't want the Hongyu Gang to get involved in this business from the beginning, but for the sake of making money, the leader of the Hongyu Gang also left.
Chen Shan He was still very saddened deep down.
