Episode 26 recap: Master Chen Li Xia was defiled by the Japanese.
Ruan Fei Zhou is still having a meal with Sanguo Youxi. Ruan Fei Zhou has temporarily gained control of the Chinese medicine shop, but he has more Chinese markets to develop. Ruan Fei Zhou tells Sanguo Youxi that they can stay out of it for now, but they need to achieve their desired goals.
Chen Li Xia still brings food to Master, but unexpectedly encounters her fellow apprentice, who has already cooperated with the Japanese. She has come this time to ask Master to hand over the script to her. Chen Li Xia is very angry and directly drives them away. Master's health is very poor now, so Chen Li Xia hurriedly stays by his side after driving them away.
Liao Liushi has also been promoted now. He invites Chen Shanhe to have a meal and says he knows who wants to kill Chen Shanhe. Chen Shanhe knows that Liao Liushi wants money, so they make a formal deal. However, when they stand up, they see Tan Yao Heng still here. Now there are also people who want Tan Yao Heng to talk about how to eat Japanese food. Chen Shanhe sees all of this and bribes the staff to give money to Tan Yao Heng.
Kuang Qingkui noticed that Jin Huirong has been going to Guangzhou frequently recently. Jin Huirong says that now many people are willing to support their resistance against Japan. Kuang Qingkui still tells Jin Huirong to be cautious about safety, but it is imperative for Jin Huirong to bring back the grain because the soldiers in the mountains need food the most. Liao Liushi and Ruan Fei Zhou discovered that many printing houses are printing notices related to resistance against Japan. Once they find evidence, they will raid their homes.
Liao Liushi also takes Ruan Fei Zhou to Yihonglou to have a good time, and Ruan Fei Zhou is very happy. Jin Huirong returns to Guangzhou, and the purpose of his return is to find the spy. The informant also says that Chen Shanhe's parents are martyrs, but now that Chen Shanhe has joined the Japanese business association, it would be best to advise him.
In recent years, Chen Shanhe has a very bad reputation among the common people. He often drinks a lot of alcohol when he has free time. Jin Huirong secretly meets Chen Shanhe and tells him that he didn't try to assassinate him. In fact, Chen Shanhe has donated a lot of money to the Communist Party over the years, and now his goal is to protect his younger siblings. Chen Shanhe wants to send his sister to Hong Kong, and Jin Huirong asks about the well-being of Chen Li Xia. Chen Shanhe just says that if she leaves Guangzhou, she will definitely live a better life.
Chen Li Xia has been by her master's side these days. Liao Liushi has been keeping an eye on Chen Shanhe and Chen Li Xia. The soldiers are complaining about not wanting to work for the Japanese, especially since they are not getting paid by the military police. Liao Liushi is trying to comfort everyone. Meanwhile, Ruan Fei Zhou is enjoying a life of indulgence, and Liao Liushi believes that controlling Ruan Fei Zhou is the best course of action.
After returning home, Chen Shanhe tells his sister that Jin Huirong will pick her up tomorrow morning to leave. She wants Chen Li Xia to go to Hong Kong and find Chen Wei Qing, but Chen Li Xia wants to be with Jin Huirong. However, if she wants to be with Jin Huirong, she must learn how to use a gun, which Chen Li Xia naturally refuses to do. That night, Chen Li Xia's junior apprentice was supposed to take the Japanese soldier back, but instead, the Japanese soldier went to the theater and violated Chen Li Xia's master, who was performing on stage.
The junior apprentice pleaded with the Japanese not to treat her master this way, but the Japanese seemed to have gone mad and didn't listen to anything. Chen Li Xia couldn't sleep that night, and Chen Shanhe stayed by her side. Chen Shanhe told Chen Li Xia that Jin Huirong is someone who does important things, and they don't need to cause trouble for Jin Huirong. They should just live a simple life.
As they were talking, Chen Li Xia fell asleep. Chen Shanhe couldn't hold back his tears. In such chaotic times, all Chen Shanhe wanted was for his younger siblings to be safe. Early in the morning, Chen Shanhe saw his sister off, and Chen Li Xia planned to visit her master before leaving. However, she suddenly saw her former senior apprentice on the roof, and the senior apprentice jumped down from there. Chen Li Xia hurried to the theater and saw her master in tattered clothes. Her master had a last breath and told Chen Li Xia to sing well before passing away.
Chen Li Xia held her master and burst into tears, remembering her master's care for her. Now her master was gone. Jin Huirong came to the intersection to wait for Chen Li Xia but didn't see her. Chen Li Xia didn't leave; instead, she prepared a funeral for her master. Jin Huirong's master, devastated by the loss, vowed to avenge the defilement inflicted upon her most beloved woman by the Japanese. This debt, she would surely repay.
