Episode 20 recap: Duan Xunchurui died in order to save Duan Xunchurui.
Duan Xunchuchu didn't believe Song Huai Ning, who had followed him through life and death, and betrayed him by siding with the treacherous Song Zhenyuan. On the other hand, Lin Wenyu, disguised as a waiter, came to the restaurant with a gun to assassinate the Japanese, but her actions exposed her identity due to a wrong move. She decided to aim the gun at the Japanese, and just as Song Zhenyuan and Lin Wenyu were in confrontation, Duan Xunchuchu arrived with reinforcements.
Song Huai Ning returned to the Song family, resuming his identity as the young master, and recently accompanied Song Zhenyuan in siding with the Japanese. Duan Xunchuchu didn't believe that his brother had recognized the enemy as his own and wanted to confront him face to face. At this time, Deputy Officer Su handed Duan Xunchuchu a note left by a mysterious person, stating that Song Zhenyuan was going to have a secret meeting with the Japanese that night to discuss the opening of the port.
That night, Song Zhenyuan entertained Ito at the restaurant, and Ito praised Song Huai Ning for his youth and talent. At this moment, Lin Wenyu disguised herself as a waiter and came to pour wine, but she was too focused on observing Song Zhenyuan and spilled the wine, which was noticed by Ito. Lin Wenyu's identity was exposed, and Duan Xunchuchu came to her rescue, but by that time she had already been kidnapped by Ito.
Duan Xunchuchu tried to persuade Duan Xunchurui not to persist in his wrong beliefs. However, Song Huai Ning, still not admitting to being Duan Xunchurui, continued to protect Song Zhenyuan and gained his trust. When Song Zhenyuan requested protection for Ito while leaving, Duan Xunchuchu directly killed Ito.
Song Zhenyuan was furious, and Duan Xunchuchu revealed his true identity, urging Song Zhenyuan to surrender. However, Song Zhenyuan still held Lin Wenyu hostage and prepared to shoot at Duan Xunchuchu in order to escape. Duan Xunchurui, in order to protect his younger brother, willingly took the bullet, seeking to make amends for his years of recognizing the enemy as his father and regretting not taking better care of his brother. Before dying, he took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Duan Xunchuchu, then followed Commander Duan in death.
Afterward, Duan Xunchuchu read his brother's letter and discovered that he had regained his memory in the ruined temple. In order to seek revenge, he pretended to join forces with Song Zhenyuan to gather evidence of Song Zhenyuan's betrayal and treason, and he advised Lin Wenyu to cherish Duan Xunchuchu.
