Episode 27 recap: Chen Weiqing disguises himself and returns to Guangzhou
After Master Jin Huirong explained the truth to Chen Lixia, he walked alone on the street, still holding the cuff of a beloved woman's hand. The person with this cuff should be the one who harmed his wife. He arrived at the gendarmerie and saw Ruan Feizhou and Liao Liusi coming out.
He had originally wanted to kill Ruan Feizhou with a knife, but unexpectedly, he was killed by Liao Liusi, and Ruan Feizhou fired two more shots in anger. Chen Lixia rushed over and witnessed Ruan Feizhou shooting. Chen Lixia was extremely emotional. Chen Shanhe was worried that his sister would be exposed, so he hurriedly took her away.
The brutal actions of the Japanese invaders aroused the anger of the colleagues in the Cantonese opera circle and even the people of the whole city. Jin Huirong used a secret signal to inform everyone to participate in the anti-Japanese activities. Chen Shanhe also wore a mask and planned to shoot and kill the Japanese. Jin Huirong told Chen Shanhe that Chen Lixia didn't want to leave because before Master Jin left, he entrusted his bag to her. Inside the bag was all of Master Jin's hard work. Taking over the bag meant taking over the theater. Chen Shanhe naturally didn't want to see his sister in danger.
Soon, Chen Weiqing learned that something had happened at home, and he needed to return to Guangzhou immediately. Huang Master also gave Chen Weiqing some money. Uncle Liang gave Chen Lixia the only red boat, hoping to protect the remaining members of the opera troupe. When Ruan Feizhou arrived at the theater, it was empty. But he quickly thought of the pier where there was still a red boat. At this time, Chen Lixia and everyone were packing up and boarding the red boat, preparing to leave. Chen Shanhe personally saw off his sister, and now all he wanted was for his sister to be safe. When Ruan Feizhou and his group arrived at the pier, the red boat had already sailed away.
Kuang Qingkui was not satisfied and felt that the Communist Party's propaganda in Guangzhou this time did not involve the Kuomintang. Although Jin Huirong explained that it was a spontaneous decision, Kuang Qingkui was still angry. The Japanese received intelligence that an underground party radio station in Guangzhou had been destroyed, and Chen Weiqing now needed to go back to repair it and persuade his brother to defect to the Communist Party.
Chen Shanhe had just arrived at the restaurant when he sensed that something was wrong. The chef who had a secret signal with him was already dead, and he could clearly sense that there was something off with the smell. So after putting down the money, he quickly left. The Japanese had already set up an ambush there, but it turned out to be empty.
Chen Shanhe learned from Liao Liusi that the person who wanted to kill him was actually Sang Guoyouxi. At first, Chen Shanhe was somewhat skeptical, but Liao Liusi informed him that the indicator for the medicine shop had been sold for money. Liao Liusi did all of this to make a profit. Ruan Feizhou also went to Sang Guoyouxi to ask why he wanted to assassinate Chen Shanhe. Sang Guoyouxi felt that Chen Shanhe was not genuinely siding with the Japanese and that he had hindered his business, so he had to kill him. Sang Guoyouxi also mentioned that recently someone had bought a large quantity of anti-inflammatory drugs from him, indicating a possible connection to the anti-Japanese resistance.
Kuang Qingkui told Jin Huirong that he had recently bought a batch of Western medicine. Jin Huirong was very worried about the reliability of this matter, and sure enough, the Japanese quickly found their location. This time, it can be said that it was a complete failure. Liao Liusi had waited for a long time at the restaurant but didn't find any suspicious individuals. However, through the records of his subordinates, he discovered that the person who had eaten the steamed buns was very suspicious, and the person had also disappeared. Liao Liusi instructed his men to pay attention to people who were knowledgeable about food.
One of Chen Weiqing's main purposes for returning to Guangzhou this time was to deliver the radio station. However, apart from the secret signal, there were no other clues. After Chen Shanhe returned home, he discovered that his younger brother, Chen Weiqing, had returned and had prepared a large table of food. Chen Lixia had originally relied on the red boat to make a living for the members of the opera troupe, but unexpectedly, the red boat had been taken by the Kuomintang. Now they truly had nowhere to go. Chen Weiqing said that he missed them, so he came back. Chen Shanhe also said that he was planning to buy back the house from back then and let his younger brother and sister live a good life. Chen Shanhe also assured his brother that he could trust him and that he would never be a traitor.
Chen Weiqing also missed Tan Yaoheng. He learned from Chen Shanhe that Tan Yaoheng wasn't doing well now. Soon after, he went to Caiduo and happened to see Tan Yaoheng there. Tan Yaoheng was delighted to see Chen Weiqing. The two of them could be considered kindred spirits, and they had missed each other after not seeing each other for a long time. Chen Shanhe had just gone to the medicine shop when he was arrested on the grounds of hiding tobacco leaves. In fact, Chen Shanhe knew that Sang Guoyouxi was behind all of this, and he was even aware of the assassination plot against himself.
