Ke Jingping received a call from Director Ju stating that their security measures were flawless, which was a joke. It was the Communist Party that prevented their assassination this time, a great humiliation. Ke Jingping said it was their problem and assured that they would investigate thoroughly. Director Ju instructed him to immediately send someone to harm and capture Qu Wenzhi. After hanging up, Ke Jingping looked angrily at his two subordinates. At the train station, the Japanese military police and Wang Wei’s 76th Action Team were fully armed to protect Qu Wenzhi. Meanwhile, the Kuomintang military intelligence sent people to pursue Qu Wenzhi and intercept intelligence. Cheng Huize, the head of the Shanghai branch of Military Intelligence, dispatched people to assassinate Qu Wenzhi. For a moment, the three parties waiting at the train station were on edge.
Yun Hongshen was also observing the surroundings of the train station. He noted that the rickshaw pullers weren’t picking up passengers, the cigarette vendors were distracted, and the cleaners were only attending to one spot. Just as he finished speaking, he saw another acquaintance not far away reading a newspaper—Yuan Bengang, the leader of the Wang Wei 76th Action Group. Yun Hongshen told his companions to take a look: even Chief Takahashi of the military police command had personally deployed, along with the Japanese agent Viscount. He felt that today’s train station was truly teeming with hidden talents. The girl next to him reminded him that something might happen soon and advised against acting rashly. Yun Hongshen assured her that he knew and would follow Mr. Yun’s arrangements. Shortly after, they saw Yuan Bengang taking action, tearing the newspaper apart and throwing the pieces away.

Yun Hongshen’s two sidekicks didn’t understand why he was doing this. Yun Hongshen explained that he was measuring the wind speed. If he wasn’t mistaken, there should be a sniper upstairs; he was trying to emulate a mantis catching cicadas with a lark behind. Yun Hongshen mentioned that the Viscount and Xu Meijia had both arrived, indicating that the person they wanted to protect was very important. He instructed his male sidekick to kill the sniper upstairs soon and asked his female sidekick to follow Xu Meijia to see what she was doing. Soon, Qu Wenzhi emerged from the train station, and the sniper upstairs made a move. He shot at Takahashi’s arm, and in the ensuing chaos, someone killed the important person.
However, Yun Hongshen felt it wasn’t Qu Wenzhi at all because his death didn’t seem to bother the Viscount and others. Yun Hongshen instructed his male sidekick to make a call with a specific license plate number, informing them that the person in that car had issues. The male sidekick remarked, “Isn’t that the Viscount’s car? Why do this?” Yun Hongshen replied that upon hearing the intelligence, the Japanese soldiers would definitely hold on, allowing them to help constrain the Viscount, and he could then identify who the important person really was. The two sidekicks were reluctant to proceed, not wanting Yun Hongshen to undertake tasks that Yun Muzhi hadn’t instructed. However, Yun Hongshen was insistent, stating that he wanted to exchange something with his father Yun Muzhi.
But the important person had already been moved by Xu Meijia. Subsequently, Yun Hongshen and his group arrived at a restaurant. Yun Hongshen saw someone dressed in Japanese women’s clothing enter—the woman was Wen Yeming. Yun Hongshen found an excuse to go to the bathroom; in reality, he climbed up to the second floor to check if the important person was there. Just as Yun Hongshen entered the bathroom, someone pointed a gun at the back of his head—it was Wen Yeming. The two engaged in a fight, breaking the glass in the process. The Japanese heard the commotion and rushed over, prompting the two to hurriedly escape.

Yun Hongshen informed his two sidekicks that Wen Yeming wasn’t Japanese because the Japanese have been kneeling for years, causing them to walk with their feet turned inward. Yun Hongshen learned about his father helping the British manage bank affairs and quickly went to find him. Yun Hongshen asked Yun Muzhi if he was truly Chinese; Yun Muzhi responded that the British could never genuinely be friends with them. Yun Muzhi mentioned that he wasn’t in that position, so he didn’t know the extent of what he had to bear. On the other side, the Viscount realized he had been framed by Yun Hongshen and remarked that Yun Muzhi was a good person but might not see the next sunrise. Yun Muzhi and Communist agent Yang Ziming confirmed with Cheng Huize that Old Zhou was the person who participated in the Seven-Person Meeting years ago. Yang Ziming said the news was excellent. Yun Muzhi stated that he had been searching for Kunwu for five years without success and declared that this time, no matter the cost, he would find Kunwu.
