Episode 4 recap: Su Xing confessed the truth about the past to Tong Sheng.
Tong Jiang Nan looked out the window at the students Zhang Shao Mu sending Tong Sheng back. Although they looked like a perfect match, it's a pity that the King has his eye on the Goddess, but the Goddess has no interest. Tong Sheng has always treated Zhang Shao Mu as a colleague. Because of the consecutive visits from Su Xing and Luo Guan Ying, Tong Jiang Nan told her daughter about their visits and revealed Su Xing's current situation, which shocked Tong Sheng and made her recall the details of their breakup, leaving her unsettled.
Thanks to Li Wen Bo's tireless efforts, he finally managed to invite the top hostess Lin Shi Man to the nightclub. As Lin Shi Man has long been socializing with men and mingling in various circles, especially being very familiar with Sun, the Commissioner of the KMT Special Commission, Li Wen Bo wanted to discuss a collaboration with her, hoping she could provide some useful intelligence he needed.
At first, Lin Shi Man was a bit hesitant, but when she saw Li Wen Bo pull out two rolls of cash, she happily accepted the money, tacitly agreeing to the collaboration. In fact, Lin Shi Man was also a KMT spy, using her identity as a courtesan to facilitate intelligence transmission. She passed on her superior's new mission to her old flame, Dang Xun Qi, emphasizing that the person in the mission must be eliminated.
Early in the morning, Professor Li Ru Chen, his wife and child were hit by a car as they left the alley, killing him on the spot. Tong Jiang Nan also received the news and was incredulous about it. Li Wen Bo led a team to the scene, examined the body, and asked Mrs. Li some questions, revealing that her husband had been in frequent contact with Tong Jiang Nan recently.
Upon receiving the news, Zhou Ya Ming came to discuss with Su Xing and the others, believing that they did this to intimidate the patriotic people who wanted to return to the north, deterring them from further contact with the Communist Party. Wang Da Long was angry and anxious, fearing that Tong Jiang Nan would be the next victim.
However, Zhou Ya Ming calmed Wang Da Long, stating that the KMT spy agency did not attack Tong Jiang Nan because they wanted the research results in Tong Jiang Nan's hands. As long as the research results were still in Tong Jiang Nan's hands, it meant he was still safe.
Su Xing suspected that the murder of Li Ru Chen was very likely due to Tong Jiang Nan and others privately formulating an action plan, causing the plan to be exposed and seized by the KMT spy agency. Soon, the police found the suspected vehicle in the suburbs, and Li Wen Bo led the team directly to the site, confirming that this was the car that killed Professor Li Ru Chen.
Li Wen Bo learned that Cha Liang Jie was going to investigate the origin of the vehicle, and said that even if they investigated it, it would be useless, because the car was a stolen vehicle, and the real perpetrator had already fled. To prevent more people from being harmed, Zhou Ya Ming asked Su Xing to go see Tong Jiang Nan immediately, and arranged for some comrades to set up a sentry post near the Tong family's residence, closely monitoring everyone who came and went.
That night, Su Xing came to find Tong Jiang Nan and reminded him that the Nationalist Party might still make a big move, hoping that Tong Jiang Nan would be careful. Although Tong Jiang Nan remained calm on the surface, he was already uneasy in his heart. He recalled that Li Ru Chen had previously suggested helping them borrow a ship to leave Hong Kong, and he had more trust in Su Xing's words.
Just as Su Xing was about to leave, he ran into Tong Sheng, who had just returned from outside. The two looked at each other, and the past surged into their hearts. Su Xing hoped to talk to Tong Sheng alone, but was rejected by Tong Jiang Nan. The next day, Su Xing went to the school to find Tong Sheng and honestly told her the reason for leaving her back then, hoping to get her forgiveness.
Tong Sheng refused Su Xing, and Zhang Shao Mu discovered that Tong Sheng had not gone to the laboratory and had come home instead. He told his aunt about Su Xing and A Sheng's past, and the aunt instructed Zhang Shao Mu to protect Tong Sheng. Luo Guan Ying found Dang Xun Qi and asked him if he had sent someone to kill Li Ru Chen, who was the person Luo Guan Ying was planning to take away.
Xun Qi had no choice but to explain that it was an order from the upper level, because Li Ru Chen had already contacted a merchant ship to secretly take Tong Jiang Nan northward, and if they allowed this to happen, it would have dire consequences. Dang Xun Qi reminded Luo Guan Ying that he should now go and press Tong Jiang Nan.
As a result, Luo Guan Ying went to the school to find Tong Jiang Nan, revealing that the Nationalist Party's secret agents had assassinated Li Ru Chen, and pointing out that they were secretly planning to go north, and if Tong Jiang Nan still wanted to ensure his safety, he must trust him and never again make arbitrary decisions. Zhang Shao Mu persuaded Tong Sheng to get over the pain of the past, and completely give up on Su Xing, taking the opportunity to express his intentions to her, although Tong Sheng stated that she would never forgive Su Xing, but she could not accept Zhang Shao Mu either.
