Good friend, I am late today...

because I was preparing

a big gift for you

Hear it?

Dr. Tan is an ophthalmologist

back from the States

I talked to him about your eyes

He thinks they may be curable

Very simple. Change the cornea

Won't that be dangerous?

Very complicated

May have a certain degree of danger

I can't see anyway

I won't lose if I bet

on this Let me try

I don't want you to

marry a blind man

In the past few months

we have dealt with the enemy

spies hidden in several cities

But we have never found Chungking

2 days ago Bing intercepted

a message

The encrypted codes in the message

was exclusive to Chungking

I think he'll take up the matter

himself this time

Good

This book contains the name list

of 701 members all over the world

Burn it after reading

From today onwards, you are Devil

What?

Thank you, Director

This is the superior's idea,

no need to thank me

How about you?

I have another mission

Do I need to know?

You are Devil,

of course you need to know

2 months from now,

I will go to Hong Kong

to approach the daughter

of Jardine's taipan

Oh

I wish you a successful mission

Thank you

Goodbye

I am your upline now

If I ask you to terminate your mission,

will you do it?

You will not

Goodbye

You haven't used

your eyes for years

Take your time, no hurry

I can finally see you

Do I look like what you imagined?

You are much prettier

than I imagined

How about me?

Much better than Chun Jiao

Who is Chun Jiao?

Chun Jiao?

That you have to ask your hubby

I gotta go.

That's why I come to say goodbye

Leaving again?

When will you come back?

When you invite me

to your baby's 1-month party

Thank you, Dr. Tan

You are welcome

Xue-ning

Thank you

Come back safely

Let's go

I think Chungking

will take action soon

OK:

Let's go

Found them

Everything's ready?

Ready

In the message

He Bing intercepted

Chungking will come tonight

He wants to personally

verify your identity

Oh, you have eventually come

Come... I'll do the introduction

This is Mr. Cao

of the Transport Union

This is Captain Yang of

the Marine Union

Oh... and...

this is Mrs. Li, the wife

of Shanghai Railway Co.'s manager

How do you do?

Nice meeting you

This is Comrade Ye Ling, Shanghai

Customs Director's adopted daughter

Comrade Ye, you work so late,

what a blessing to our country

It's nothing

Liu, the tea is cold,

make a new pot

Let us start Sure, let's start

Comrade Ye, this seat is good,

good fung shui, you sit here

OK:

You take your old seat

I sat here last time

Well, fung shui may change

perhaps this time I am in luck

8 characters

2 bamboos Oops... Comrade Ye...

has a winning hand

Pure one-suit hand and single wait

Fork out your money

Comrade Ye won 4 games in a row

How lucky Amazing

You just let me win

No way, I am watching at the back

I know Comrade Ye is a master-player

Yeah...

They are the real master-players

Look at this This is

the class superiority

Comrade Ye is a proletarian

How can such a little trick...

of us capitalist...

have cheated her, right?

What proletarian and capitalist?

We are all making a living,

aren't we?

Yes, making a living

Where should we make our living then?

With the shortage of commodities now,

imported goods are most popular

My husband just found a batch

of foreign goods in the States

If they can come to Shanghai

we'll make a fortune

8 bamboos

Nowadays, it's not easy to import

American goods into Shanghai

We ship captains know...

we should talk to

Comrade Ye about import

For these few years, the Shanghai

Customs is her adoptive father's world

You mean my Godfather abuses

power for personal gain?

However, foreign goods can

boost the economy

it's also a sort of contribution

to our country

My Godfather never objects

to our doing business

If I can also have a share...

Look...

There are 5 people here

let's split it into

5 shares 6 shares

Doesn't my Godfather get a share?

If Mr. Ye can come,

he's most welcome Wait

Sorry I win again

You don't mind?

Of course not

No, no, how brilliant

Come, take out your money

I don't mind

I have no luck today

Smiling so sweetly.

Got a winning hand?

I have lost 4 games, haven't won any

Lost? Who won then?

Mr. Li?

Oh, he's my dance teacher,

Cheng Gang

Let me introduce. Comrade Ye

Comrade Ye

Mr. Cheng. How do you do?

Take a seat OK

Let's win it back

I should win it this time

The instrument of

ratification you wanted

This is a message on Chungking

intercepted by Bing yesterday

It's about your rendezvous

with him

Are you still not sure

who Chungking is?

No, there is yet one more person

Do you remember Luo San-er?

Now he's changed his name

to Cheng Gang

If Chungking

were there yesterday

he was also a suspect

If so...

let's catch them all

Not now

Mr. Li has not appeared yet

If we catch them all

Chungking would be alarmed

What is it?

Nothing. Have Bing pay more attention

to the codes these 2 days

Understood

Am I making too much noise?

You can't sleep?

I am thinking

Hey

tell me what this is

Hour Like in one hour, two hours

And this?

Black

They are very similar

Before deciphering...

jade is... very similar to king

But after deciphering

their meanings are

totally different

I have to go back to the Bureau

You haven't slept for 2 days

It's OK. I have to go back

1 character

Fortune

Your goods will arrive

in these 2 days

My Godfather has things arranged.

You can rest assured

With this instrument of ratification,

we can all rest assured

Then...

in 2 days, I'll have

the phase one bonus...

delivered to Comrade Ye's residence.

How's that?

Business matters should

all be handled here

Good. In 2 days...

we meet here again

5 circles

Wait

it's not easy to gain from you.

My turn now

8 circles Thank you. I win

What? Again? My goodness

Comrade Ye, you are really lucky

I have lost to her...

all the money I made from this deal

Come on, you are so rich

Losing a bit is nothing

Come, collect the money

You'll get used to losing Right

What round are we in now?

Mrs. Li?

Oh, West

Are we still in West?

Liu

I've only won twice in 3 rounds

Give me another cup of hot tea

I've only won once

How unlucky I haven't even won

3 losing to 1

I will win pure one-suit hand next time

Win off him You can

How long has he been here?

2 days

He hasn't gone out in 2 days

He said the enemy channels

are transmitting all the time

he has to monitor

The volume has been

turned up a lot

Yes, it's been like that

for the last 2 days

Bing just intercepted a message

Chungking's identity exposed. Act asap

That means one of them

is definitely Chungking

I have people watching

them None has fled

Tonight should be the time

to draw in the net

Comrade Ye, how are you

Didn't we say we'd meet

at the union?

It's not convenient to speak here.

Come, let's go in

Come

Mr. Cao is being followed

We are afraid of implicating you

so we've brought the money here
