Takahashi knew that the television station had already broadcast the news about Changsha. He arrived at the station to investigate who had released the information. Coincidentally, Yun Hongshen also came to the station and noticed that the entrance was filled with Japanese personnel. Takahashi and his team found the television station’s owner, Miura, who told them he hadn’t seen anyone delivering the message and that the newspaper wasn’t published by them. When asked, Miura mentioned that Mr. Liu, the person who delivered the message, had gone to call his girlfriend and would probably return soon. However, shortly after, someone reported a dead body downstairs. According to nearby witnesses, it was a man surnamed Liu. Miura said he wasn’t sure if it was Mr. Liu, and Takahashi instructed him to go down and identify the body.
After knocking out a Japanese soldier, Yun Hongshen donned the soldier’s uniform to blend in with the Japanese personnel. When Takahashi came down to examine the body, he pointed to Yun Hongshen and asked him to search Mr. Liu for any suspicious items. Taking advantage of the situation, Yun Hongshen inspected the cause of Mr. Liu’s death and noticed the address Takahashi and his team were holding. After the Japanese soldier left, Yun Hongshen approached Miura again, pretending he wanted to place a missing person notice in the newspaper. In reality, Yun Hongshen was there to inquire about Ba Ge. He told Miura that Miura shouldn’t have killed Mr. Liu, causing Miura to hesitate for a moment.

Immediately, Miura attempted to draw his handgun at Yun Hongshen, but Yun Hongshen was quicker and pointed his own gun at Miura. Yun Hongshen told him not to be nervous and that they could be friends. Miura insisted that his friends wouldn’t point guns at him. Yun Hongshen returned home to find his father, wanting to uncover his secrets. Butler Old Xu brought a letter addressed to Yun Hongshen. Yun Muzhi asked to see it, but Yun Hongshen refused to hand it over. Yun Muzhi then insisted that he look at the letter, promising to reveal his secrets to Yun Hongshen. When they opened the letter, it was blank. Yun Hongshen applied honey to the paper, revealing the message: Yun Hongshen should go to a teahouse at eight o’clock tonight to meet Ba Ge.
Yun Hongshen told Yun Muzhi that after reading the letter, he wanted Yun Muzhi to reveal his secrets. Yun Muzhi directed him to find Old Xu, claiming that it was his idea for Yun Hongshen to read it. Old Xu brought Yun Hongshen to a room and said Yun Muzhi’s secret was here. He encouraged him to look, then left and locked the door from the outside. Yun Hongshen was furious, realizing he had been deceived. He declared that he was determined to investigate Ba Ge, no matter what the cost.
Meanwhile, the Japanese had learned that Yun Muzhi had faked his death, thanks to Kunwu’s warning. They understood that Yun Muzhi posed a significant threat to them. Yun Muzhi instructed Old Xu to inform Zhang Xiancheng of the current situation. Old Xu reported that Yun Hongshen had escaped and should head to the teahouse to meet Ba Ge.

Yun Muzhi decided to go to the teahouse himself. Old Xu advised against it, but Yun Muzhi insisted on going. Old Xu knew Yun Muzhi was heading into danger, as the Japanese were now actively hunting him. Yun Muzhi gave Old Xu a book to pass on and instructed him to check if anyone was watching them from outside. Old Xu looked outside and indeed saw someone monitoring them. Yun Muzhi declared that he had no choice but to use his death to send a message. Old Xu’s eyes welled up with tears; he didn’t want Yun Muzhi to do this. However, Yun Muzhi explained that his death would signal a significant upheaval to the organization, and they were currently unable to contact Yang Zichenming.
Yun Muzhi concluded that since the Japanese didn’t want him alive, he would proceed with his plan. Old Xu accompanied Yun Muzhi to the teahouse where Yun Hongshen was set to meet Ba Ge. As expected, an altercation broke out, and Yun Muzhi was shot. On the way back, Yun Hongshen held his father, crying uncontrollably. Yun Muzhi told him that those who walk in darkness don’t have time for sorrow. Old Xu, who was driving, also wept, as Yun Muzhi had sacrificed himself. The Japanese discovered that the gold bars the British had sent to them had all turned into iron bars, realizing that Yun Muzhi was responsible. They planned to capture Yun Hongshen for questioning. Meanwhile, university students in Changsha began an uprising, and the Japanese prepared to use violence against them. Yun Hongshen said they dared to act but wouldn’t let others speak out.
