A Lonely Hero’s Journey 孤舟 Episode 12

Faced with Xiao Ruotong's questioning, Gu Yizhong firmly denied that he was Cell 8 and also denied any accusations of murder. Xiao Ruotong chased after her and asked him to tell the truth, otherwise he must go with her and explain clearly to the organization. Gu Yizhong refused to comply, and the two fell into a stalemate. At this time, Haimo accidentally broke in and took action decisively to subdue Xiao Ruotong.

Gu Yizhong noticed Xiao Ruotong's physical abnormality and found that she was suffering from a high fever, so he immediately decided to take her to see a doctor. At the hospital, he arranged for Haimo to take care of Xiao Ruotong, while he secretly contacted the organization. Facing the organization's urging, Gu Yizhong struggled internally, but finally decided to comply with his father's last wish, endured his grief, and prepared to return to No. 90 to continue his mission.

Xiao Ruotong woke up from his bed and learned that he was in Zhaohe Hospital and had been diagnosed with malaria by Dr. Lu. He had just received an injection of quinine. As soon as she heard the word "quinine", she immediately realized the importance of this key information and reported it to the organization without hesitation. She knows that in this era of scarce medical resources, access to quinine is of great significance to the organization.

On the other side, Zhou Zhifei felt extremely heavy. He held a letter from Youfei tightly in his hand, and the ten points at the end of the letter were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart. After Yuqing saw this letter, she was filled with anger and grief. Zhou Zhifei had mixed feelings in his heart. He was worried that Youfei would become a stranger when he returned, and he was also afraid of losing his son, so he wanted to have another child with his wife. While they were talking, the sound of broken flower pots suddenly came from downstairs. It made his heart tighten. But then he was relieved when he learned that it was just a mistake by his servant.

On the occasion of bidding farewell to Gu Yuan, Haimo performed another Suzhou Pingtan song in front of Gu Xi's soul to express his condolences. Later, she left a letter to Gu Yizhong, giving gentle advice, hoping that he could regain his life and hire more servants, so as not to let Gu Garden be abandoned in the years. When Gu Yizhong stepped into the gate of No. 90, Xie Wenchao quickly greeted him and conveyed Huang Xinzhai's instructions with a solemn expression, asking him to go to Huang's office immediately. Entering the office, Gu Yizhong was surprised to find that Masao Kondo had been waiting for a long time. Kondo was obviously very interested in Gu Yizhong's architectural knowledge. He cleverly used a delicate bonsai beside him as a topic to guide Gu Yizhong to express his opinions. After some exchanges, Kondo changed the subject and formally assigned Gu Yizhong a task: to conduct an in-depth investigation into Zhou Zhifei's background and whereabouts. This sudden order gave Gu Yi mixed feelings. He realized that he had been involved in a more complex and dangerous whirlpool.

Gao Hu hurriedly visited Zhou Zhifei and revealed Huang Xinzhai and Kondo Masao's decision to move out of Gu Yizhong's dormitory and terminate their surveillance of him. After Zhou Zhifei heard this, instead of obeying, he warned Gao Hu to ignore Huang Xinzhai's order. Just when Gao Hu was about to take the opportunity to ask for money again, Zhou Zhifei was urgently summoned away by a sudden phone call.

At the same time, Quanshui quietly visited Zhou's house under the false identity of Mrs. Weng. Zhou Zhifei suppressed his anger and introduced him to Yuqing. Yuqing seemed to notice something strange in Zhou Zhifei's eyes and left with an excuse. However, as soon as she turned around, Zhou Zhifei used force on the spring water and asked her why she came. At the critical moment, Yuqing suddenly turned back and called Zhou Zhifei into the kitchen. Zhou Zhifei mistakenly thought he was exposed, but in fact Yuqing only asked about the relationship between Mrs. Weng and Mr. Li. In order to please Mr. Li, Yuqing happily accepted Mrs. Weng to move in. Zhou Zhifei saw that the bracelet on Yuqing's wrist was a gift from the spring, and felt that it was not good to accept such an expensive gift just after they met. However, Yuqing knew that the bracelet was of high quality, so he was reluctant to return it. Zhou Zhifei had to give up after seeing this. .

After calming Yuqing's emotions, Zhou Zhifei walked into Quanshui's room. The spring water gently hugged him from behind, telling all the past in a gentle tone, trying to arouse his pity. However, when the relationship gradually heated up and the two were about to immerse themselves in each other's arms, Zhou Zhifei suddenly mentioned a sensitive topic - whether Quan Shui had an affair with foreigners when he was on a mission in Hong Kong. As soon as these words came out, Quan Shui's expression suddenly changed, and all the tenderness and sweetness disappeared instantly. She pushed Zhou Zhifei away angrily and sternly told him to leave.

On the other side, Gao Hu was packing his bags in the dormitory, preparing to move out according to Huang Xinzhai's order. Gu Yizhong accidentally glanced at the prescription on the table and learned that Gao Hu's mother was suffering from cholera. He felt compassion and not only suggested that Gao Hu go to Zhaohe Hospital for treatment, but also generously donated money to help him treat his mother. Gao Hu was deeply moved by Gu Yizhong's kindness. He knelt down and expressed his gratitude with tears streaming down his face.

At the same time, Haimo made an important decision - to stay in Suzhou. She came to a theater and won the favor of her boss with her superb piano skills. When he learned that she was a disciple of the famous master Zhang Yuquan, the boss was even more impressed by her. Haimo sincerely requested a chance to perform on stage and was willing to perform for free. He only hoped that his boss would give him a chance.
