Episode 22 recap: Dang Xun Qi decided to rob Zhuang Lao Da to steal his money.
Originally, Tong Jiang Nan had hidden the important experimental data, but Chen Xue Wei inadvertently provided clues to the police, revealing that she had once seen Tong Sheng backing up the experimental data. Because of this, Tong Sheng was worried that the Hong Kong and British government would discover their private backup, so he went to discuss countermeasures with Tong Jiang Nan.
Through this period of interaction, Abiao had a complete change of heart towards the Communist Party, and was very grateful to Su Xing and the others, stating that he would remember their great kindness. Similarly, Abiao had the blood of many communist comrades on his hands, and he stated that if Su Xing wanted to take revenge, he could take Abiao's life at any time. Dang Xun Qi guessed that Zhuang Lao Da was doing big business, so he wanted to take the opportunity to rob Zhuang Lao Da.
In order to stay by Dang Xun Qi's side and find an opportunity for revenge, Abiao deliberately fabricated lies, claiming that not only had Su Xing killed his sister, but he had also cruelly killed two of his special agent brothers. Dang Xun Qi was doubtful of Abiao's words, but did not have enough evidence, so he simply arranged for Wu Ya Nv to assist Abiao in properly burying his sister, and warned him not to act rashly due to personal emotions.
The Director of the Hong Kong and British Office summoned Li Wen Bo, emphasizing that the British government urgently needed to increase industrial output, and therefore Tong Jiang Nan's research results were of crucial importance to the petroleum industry. He demanded that Li Wen Bo must quickly solve the data theft case, and Li Wen Bo guaranteed that as long as the person who stole the data was still in Hong Kong, he was confident he could expose them.
However, this case always lacked key clues, so Li Wen Bo sent Cha Liang Jie to find Tong Sheng to understand the situation. Coincidentally, Chen Xue Wei was also present and deliberately revealed Tong Sheng's backup of the data, catching Cha Liang Jie's attention. Cha Liang Jie spoke privately with Tong Sheng, but Tong Sheng denied Chen Xue Wei's statement, explaining that Tong Jiang Nan took the experimental materials home to avoid the Kuomintang.
That night, Tong Sheng mentioned the day's events to Tong Jiang Nan, worrying that the Hong Kong and British government would investigate to the end, but Tong Jiang Nan insisted on taking the data back to the mainland. Zhuang Lao Da refused to rent a boat unless Dang Xun Qi handed over Su Xing.
Lin Shi Man thought the urgent task was to contact the shipping company's Manager Huang, and even sought his help as a friend. Manager Huang refused Lin Shi Man's request for a boat rental, so Lin Shi Man used her beauty to get him to go see Dang Xun Qi, and the two of them threatened him with the crime of being a communist, forcing him to agree and find another way.
Su Xing accompanied Abiao to pay respects at his sister's grave, solemnly promising to avenge her. Abiao was deeply grateful for Su Xing's help and remembered it in his heart. At the same time, he candidly admitted that he had once harmed Communist Party members, and if Su Xing wanted revenge, he could take Abiao's life at any time. Su Xing knew that Abiao's actions were largely due to unfortunate circumstances and following orders from above, so he persuaded Abiao to return from the wrong path and continue to lurk around Dang Xun Qi, providing intelligence to the Kuomintang.
Although Abiao was reluctant to remain silent, he had to obey Dang Xun Qi's orders. But after Su Xing's patient persuasion, he finally decided to cooperate with Su Xing. Zhang Shao Mu personally met with Chen Xue Wei for Tong Sheng's matter, which delighted Chen Xue Wei greatly. Chen Xue Wei specially purchased a tie from abroad as a gift for Zhang Shao Mu, but Zhang Shao Mu's attitude was indifferent, directly expressing his intention for the date, asking Chen Xue Wei not to mention Tong Sheng's backup experiment data to others.
Based on the information provided by Abiao, Su Xing confirmed that Dang Xun Qi had set up surveillance points near the Tong family, which was within expectations, but the surveillance points alone were not enough to complete many tasks. Su Xing surmised that there might be someone from the Kuomintang assisting Tong Jiang Nan, so the top priority was to expose this mole and simultaneously search for other members of the Secret Bureau.
The Kuomintang's Deputy Officer Qian arrived in Hong Kong on the commander's orders, sternly demanding that Dang Xun Qi quickly complete the handover and turn over Qian and Yang, or else face serious consequences. At the same time, Manager Huang hastily summoned his subordinates and secretly instructed them to change the destination of the Dick ship to Shanghai. Zhou Ya Ming learned of this news and deduced that the Kuomintang spies were exerting great pressure on him, so he dispatched Su Xing and Wang Da Long to visit Manager Huang.
On the other hand, Zhuang Lao Da secretly met with the boss Lin, discussing plans for their future cooperation. Dang Xun Qi learned that Zhuang Lao Da had been raising funds recently, and suspected he was about to make a big move, so he had the idea to rob him. However, Lin Shi Man was worried that as a local Hong Kong boss, such an act by Zhuang Lao Da would easily expose his whereabouts, but Zhuang Lao Da had already made up his mind.
