Episode 23 recap: The bridge is preparing to evacuate and destroy the prison, and they will take the tear gas grenades with them
The expedition army is guarding the checkpoints, and the bridge asks Tanaka to give Miao Jiang a mission, asking her to find a way to obtain a pass and transport the tear gas grenades back to the country Miao Jiang steals a pass and gives it to Mao Ren Xing, telling him it was specially approved by Shen Cong Wu, making Mao Ren Xing the scapegoat
Mao Ren Xing wants to perform meritorious deeds, so he personally leads the team to escort the shipment, thinking the box contains important supplies. Li Shao Tang and Ou Xiao An intercept Mao Ren Xing and discover the tear gas grenades in the box, arresting him.
Qin Ji Ru hears that his daughter Qin Mo Qing is coming home for dinner, so he immediately cancels the meeting and decides to cook himself. Qin Mo Qing finds it a bit strange and suspects her father is hiding something. Qin Ji Ru tells his daughter that he is most concerned about her safety and mentions the previous matchmaking.
Qin Mo Qing proactively says she wants to meet with Zhou Ruo Fei again, and Qin Ji Ru quickly has the third madam arrange it.
In the evening, Qin Mo Qing secretly installs a wiretap in her father's room while he is not home, nearly getting caught by the second madam. The second madam talks about everything, and Qin Mo Qing asks if she knows Mao Ren Xing, and the second madam says they have played mahjong together.
Qin Mo Qing reminds her to be careful of Mao Ren Xing.
Qin Ji Ru is very anxious about the shipment, and he and the third madam are waiting for news from Mao Ren Xing. Qin Mo Qing tells Wang Qiu Shui the information she overheard, saying the military intelligence suspects Qin Ji Ru is involved with the tear gas grenades.
Wang Qiu Shui is worried that Qin Ji Ru's situation will affect Qin Mo Qing, and Qin Mo Qing recommends Ou Xiao An, saying he is an old comrade of Lou Ming Yuan. But Wang Qiu Shui is still a bit hesitant.
Mao Ren Xing's truck was involved in an accident on the road and cannot arrive in Chongqing on time.
Ou Xiao An and Li Shao Tang caught up and inquired about the situation with the station chief at the checkpoint. San Yitai helped Qin Mo Qing to make an appointment with Zhou Ruo Fei, but Zhou Ruo Fei did not answer the phone, so Qin Mo Qing went directly to her residence.
Zhou Ruo Fei did not know why Qin Mo Qing was there and asked if she had work-related issues. Qin Mo Qing deliberately said that Shen Cong Wu had issues with her, and Zhou Ruo Fei told her not to worry.
Ou Xiao An and his team stopped Mao Ren Xing's truck and demanded an inspection. Mao Ren Xing presented Dai Li's pass and claimed the contents were military supplies. Li Shao Tang wanted to check, but Shen Cong Wu told them to let Mao Ren Xing go. After hearing the news, Qin Mo Qing informed Zhou Ruo Fei, and Zhou Ruo Fei instructed them to continue the investigation.
Following the instructions, the station chief took Mao Ren Xing into custody. Li Shao Tang's inspection revealed no toxic gas shells, only smuggled goods. However, the real toxic gas shells had already been moved.
Wei Qing Ming criticized Qin Mo Qing, saying she had betrayed Dai Li. Qin Mo Qing then learned that her father had a smuggling relationship with Dai Li. Feng Yu Nian wanted to distance himself, but Qin Mo Qing admitted her mistake. Qin Ji Ru, concerned for his daughter's safety, wanted to send her to study in the United States after being rejected by Dai Li due to this incident.
Qin Mo Qing felt very guilty upon hearing this.
On their way to escort Mao Ren Xing back, Ou Xiao An and Li Shao Tang were ambushed by the Japanese military, resulting in heavy casualties for the Military Statistics Bureau.
