Episode 26 recap: Agent disguises as Li Qiu Chen and contacts Li Pei Zhang.
Li Pei Zhang believes that it's because Ji Dan Yang miscalculated the data and caused He Xi Wen's current situation, so they got into an argument. He Xi Wen is now fine and feels that they should still work together. Pang Hong Mei comes over to report recent work matters to Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan brings up the issue of Bai Hui and Ji Dan Yang, asking Pang Hong Mei what Ji Dan Yang really thinks.
After careful consideration, Pang Hong Mei realizes that they might have feelings for Ji Dan Yang. Zhang Yan advises them to be more proactive and not let others take Ji Dan Yang away. Bai Hui and Secretary Luo go out shopping, and Bai Ming Han is also following them on the street, where they spot two other enemy agents.
Pang Hong Mei notices that only Ding Jie is here and asks where Tong Bin is. Ding Jie explains that Tong Bin switched shifts with them and went to the movies with Luo Shan Shan. Pang Hong Mei and Ding Jie approach and happen to see Tong Bin and Luo Shan Shan holding hands.
Pang Hong Mei can pretend not to have seen it if they want. They feel like having a soda and ask Tong Bin to quickly buy one for them. Pang Hong Mei chats with Luo Shan Shan about Bai Hui, noting that Bai Hui has indeed changed a lot after becoming the head nurse and has become stricter than before. They wonder if it's a common phenomenon for people to change after taking leadership roles.
Pang Hong Mei thinks that it's possible that Bai Hui is under a lot of pressure as a new head nurse and advises Luo Shan Shan not to overthink it. The director inquires about Li Qiu Chen from their subordinates, who respond promptly. The director instructs them to go to Hong Kong and meet another version of themselves.
Mr. Yang came over to have a drink with Mr. Niu and mentioned that the police had come to inquire about the situation. In fact, they don't use those gloves in their workshop. When Wu Rui came to see him before, he tampered with that cabinet.
Mr. Niu tells Mr. Yang not to slander his apprentice. The truth is that Captain Chen gave them this alcohol, wanting to see how they would behave after drinking. They haven't even finished two-thirds of the alcohol, yet they're already stumbling and walking crookedly. If that's the case, it would have been impossible for them to return to the workshop and engage in foreign activities.
Pang Hong Mei now has Wu Rui's information and went to ask him about it. Wu Rui's account of his experiences matches the information on the file. However, Captain Chen finds something strange. Li Pei Zhang claimed that after his sister, who was a child bride, died, he spent three years begging for food and eventually made his way to Northeast China. There are doubts about this part of his story.
Pang Hong Mei believes that if it's about begging for food, it would be difficult to verify. Captain Chen thinks that as long as it happened in broad daylight, there should be some evidence. Now Li Pei Zhang has received a letter from Li Qiu Chen, and the expert team has also investigated Li Qiu Chen's background. They were doing business in Lumen and later moved to Nanyang.
Li Pei Zhang is Li Qiu Chen's cousin, but their families were separated during the occupation of Nanjing. They did meet once, but Li Pei Zhang was in Beijing at that time, so they didn't have a chance to meet. The content of the letter hasn't been fully investigated yet. The expert team and Chu Gong have discussed it and decided to give Li Pei Zhang a separate office. This way, it won't hinder his research progress, and he won't have the opportunity to interact with other experts.
Li Pei Zhang has moved his office to the workshop, and Ji Dan Yang comes over, saying that if they're talking about backgrounds, he has spent nine years abroad and knows more about the situation. He believes that the expert team will surely investigate and find out the truth. He will be in the workshop during this time and can help if Li Pei Zhang has any questions.
Li Pei Zhang is also surprised that Ji Dan Yang is willing to help him. They have investigated Li Qiu Chen's background, and it matches up. Moreover, Li Qiu Chen is a patriotic overseas Chinese who wants to donate his assets to the country's development.
