Episode 5 recap: Wei Ruo Lai passed on the contact information for Wei Ruo Chuan.
Wei Ruo Lai arrived at the bank early in the morning and handed over the seal, key, and storage receipt that Wei Ruo Chuan had given him before his death to the vault administrator. The administrator used the key to retrieve the box that Wei Ruo Chuan had kept, and when Wei Ruo Lai opened the box, he was shocked to find twenty gold bars inside. Wei Ruo Lai couldn't believe they were real, so he double-checked to confirm their authenticity before leaving with trepidation.
Upon returning to his office, Wei Ruo Lai safely concealed Wei Ruo Chuan's seal and a note used for the rendezvous. Secretary Huang came back, and Wei Ruo Lai hurriedly served him tea and water. Due to his nervousness, he spilled water all over the table, and Secretary Huang noticed something was amiss. He persistently questioned Wei Ruo Lai about the reason, but Wei Ruo Lai used the excuse of not having slept well to cover up the situation. Secretary Huang then assigned him a pile of work, and Wei Ruo Lai hurriedly went to do it.
Wang Shanbin was a new employee, and while he was receiving training, he and his colleagues went upstairs to visit. Secretary Huang forcibly kicked them out. Shen Jin Zhen secretly took Shen Tu Nan's work schedule and immediately went to the fashion store to hand it over to Xu Nuo. However, because she didn't arrive at the rendezvous at the agreed-upon time, Xu Nuo scolded her.
Shen Jin Zhen handed over all her gold and silver jewelry as well as her savings to Xu Nuo, instructing him to deliver them to the base in Jiangxi. Shen Jin Zhen had been waiting for a long time for the secret signal from Gu Xing in the declaration published in the newspaper. Worried about his safety, she wanted to go find Lin Qiao Song to inquire about the news, but Xu Nuo reminded her not to reveal her identity.
Lin Qiao Song was eager to make a name for himself and gain recognition. He sent people to search everywhere for Wei Ruo Chuan but found nothing. From a traitor, Lin Qiao Song learned that if the underground party's rendezvous failed, they would send a contact signal through the newspapers. He dispatched people to major newspapers to transcribe all the paid information.
Li Cheng Da informed Lin Qiao Song that Wei Ruo Chuan had once read two books, but Lin Qiao Song deemed it useless and threatened him. After Wei Ruo Lai finished the work assigned by Secretary Huang, he made use of the time to attend training sessions. During class, he often thought of his deceased brother, Wei Ruo Chuan. Shen Tu Nan noticed his distraction and reminded him in the classroom.
After class, Wei Ruo Lai went to the newspaper office and published a notice. He pretended to cover his face due to a cold wind, fearing being watched by others.
Shen Jin Zhen took the initiative to seek out Lin Qiao Song to learn shooting and even invited him for a meal. Lin Qiao Song was pleasantly surprised as he had long admired Shen Jin Zhen and finally had the opportunity to spend time alone with her. He was overjoyed and opened up to Shen Jin Zhen, expressing his frustrations at work. Shen Jin Zhen understood his difficulties and subtly inquired about news regarding Gu Xing.
Zhang Mingquan was unwilling to hand over the Industrial and Commercial Bank to Shen Tu Nan. He took people to transfer the funds in the vault, while Shen Tu Nan hurried to meet the CEO and sent Wei Ruo Lai to stop Zhang Mingquan. Zhang Mingquan and his men were transferring the assets when Wei Ruo Lai arrived with the patrol officers, preventing Zhang Mingquan from taking a single cent. Zhang Mingquan attacked Wei Ruo Lai with punches and kicks, leaving him with a swollen face and blood all over. Wei Ruo Lai tightly held onto Zhang Mingquan's leg, and Zhang Mingquan pulled out a gun intending to kill him. Shen Tu Nan rushed to the scene and intervened, forcibly driving Zhang Mingquan away and sealing the funds of the Industrial and Commercial Bank on the spot.
Seeing Wei Ruo Lai's miserable state, Shen Tu Nan was both worried and angry. He reminded him not to risk his life next time and comforted him. Shen Jin Zhen returned home very late, and when Shen Tu Nan learned that she had dinner with Lin Qiao Song, he advised her not to associate with people like him. Shen Jin Zhen retorted in response.
Lin Qiao Song sent people to collect all the notices published in major newspapers. He carefully examined each one and quickly discovered discrepancies in the household registration information of Zheng Rong Shoe Factory. He immediately led his men to investigate and found that there was no such factory. Lin Qiao Song concluded that it was a secret code for underground party communication. He interrogated Li Cheng Da, who had no knowledge of it. Lin Qiao Song remembered that Li Cheng Da had mentioned Wei Ruo Chuan taking two books, suspecting that they were codebooks. He went to Li Cheng Da's bookstore and took those two books to compare.
Xu Nuo deciphered the information published in the newspapers. Gu Xing had arranged to meet at the lobby of the Central Bank tomorrow. Shen Jin Zhen volunteered to be the one to meet him. Xu Nuo was concerned for her safety, but Shen Jin Zhen insisted on going. She had easy access to the Central Bank, and if she encountered an emergency, she could seek help from Shen Tu Nan.
One of Lin Qiao Song's subordinates found that "Ancient Writings Exemplified" was the codebook and quickly deciphered the meeting time and location published in the newspaper.
