Yun Hongshen watched the pier through his binoculars; he had arranged for his men to be there. He wondered what kind of person this so-called “Mister” would be: a housewife, a heiress to a seafood factory, a worker, a teacher? He could only guess. On the ship, Xiaozhe excitedly ran to his mother and told her he saw egrets. His mother told him to thank Uncle Zhang. The binoculars were originally bought by Uncle Zhang for his son, but Xiaozhe got to play with them first. Zhang Xiancheng said that seeing Xiaozhe reminded him of his own son, whom he hadn’t seen in two years. He wondered if his son would still recognize him. Xiaozhe’s mother reassured him, saying that of course he would, it’s father and son nature.
On the ship, a woman scolded the waiter for pouring her water too hot. Just then, a beautiful cleaning lady passed by and remarked to the woman that she seemed to need to touch up her makeup. Yun Hongshen instructed his men to remember the secret signal for action. After giving his orders, he headed towards the pier. Captain Tang also arrived with the police, while Cao Yuan had already set up a sniper rifle upstairs. Captain Tang told the families waiting to meet the passengers that they needed to inspect the ship and asked them to wait. Hearing that the police were here, Xiaozhe asked his mother if his uncle had arrived, explaining to Zhang Xiancheng that his uncle was a policeman.
Someone passed on a message to the people on the street, telling them to make a commotion and attract the police. Wen Yeming, observing from above, saw the chaotic situation. Someone killed a person and ran away, and Wen Yeming ordered Chen Dongping to capture that person. Milan asked Zong Fang why he didn’t report his informant missing. Zong Fang said that sometimes he couldn’t contact his informant when they were out on secret missions. Milan told him not to make excuses and warned him never to be complacent, especially in this special situation. She asked if the informant had betrayed him, but Zong Fang insisted that was impossible. Milan then questioned why the police were there. Zong Fang told her now was not the time to dwell on that; their priority was to ensure Mister’s safety.
Milan told Zong Fang to stay there and handle the situation while she went to the pier to meet Mister. She told him to be prepared to sacrifice himself for the Heavenly Emperor’s country, saying that even if they all had to die today, she would ensure Mister’s safe departure. Yun Hongshen boarded the ship and began to investigate the passengers. Suddenly, Cao Yuan shot Captain Tang. Yun Hongshen quickly helped him onto the ship. Zhang Xiancheng said he had some medical knowledge and could bandage Captain Tang’s wound. Yun Hongshen asked how he knew that, and Zhang Xiancheng replied that he had been on the battlefield before. Yun Hongshen questioned why he wasn’t on the battlefield now, given the national crisis. Zhang Xiancheng explained that he had been injured and his eyesight was impaired, so he became a teacher.
Yun Hongshen checked everyone’s identity one by one. He approached An Zhiyi and asked about her situation. An Zhiyi said she had just returned from studying in Germany. Yun Hongshen then went to the woman who had scolded her servant for being pregnant. She said that her husband was someone they couldn’t afford to offend. Yun Hongshen said he knew Mr. Lin. He then approached Shi Changsheng, the National Military Commission special commissioner. While they were conducting the inspection, a man grabbed a little girl and threatened Yun Hongshen to let him go. While rescuing the girl, Yun Hongshen almost lost his life, but Zhang Xiancheng shielded him. Shi Changsheng repeatedly insisted that Ke Jingping should be the one to inspect him, otherwise Yun Hongshen would bear the responsibility if anything happened. But Yun Hongshen wouldn’t listen. He detained An Zhiyi, the pregnant woman, her servant, and Shi Changsheng.
Wen Yeming confronted Zong Fang in the warehouse. She demanded he hand over the key. Zong Fang said he would die if he gave it to her, so he might as well not. Wen Yeming said he was wrong because he had already made contact with her, so they wouldn’t let him go whether he handed over the key or not. However, someone rescued Zong Fang, and Wen Yeming rushed to the ship. Yun Hongshen, observing An Zhiyi’s posture and attire, realized she had undergone long-term military training. Finally, An Zhiyi could no longer keep up the act and prepared to attack Yun Hongshen. However, Yun Hongshen had already anticipated this and had the servant use Mrs. Lin to threaten An Zhiyi. It turned out that the servant was an informant for the military command, and Mrs. Lin was An Zhiyi’s associate.
