A Lonely Hero’s Journey 孤舟 Episode 25

Captain Zhang suggested to Zhou Zhifei that he should interrogate Fugui to find out the intention behind Huang Xinzhai's paintings. Zhou Zhifei adopted it and sent Captain Zhang and the Japanese to perform this task. At the same time, he understood Captain Zhang's desire for the position of deputy webmaster and promised to help him get promoted. Captain Zhang was extremely grateful.

On the other side, Kondo Masao wanted to invite Gu Yizhong to serve as the president of the Suzhou Sino-Japanese Cultural Exchange Association, but Gu Yizhong declined and recommended Zhou Zhifei. Kondo believes that Gu Yizhong is concerned about Zhou Zhifei's power, and encourages him to be unafraid of challenges. He also exposes Zhou Zhifei's selfish nature, emphasizes Gu Yizhong's sincerity and potential, predicts that he will eventually take over the position of webmaster No. 90, and has high hopes for Gu Yizhong.

Fugui is praying for Mr. Gu in the temple, lighting incense devoutly and praying for peace. However, this tranquility was broken by the sudden visit of the Japanese military police and Agent No. 90. Captain Zhang coldly walked up to Fugui and ordered him to accompany him. Fugui knew that this was going to be a bad time, but he struggled in his heart but was helpless. After walking out of the temple, he made a decisive choice, resolutely fired the grenade in his hand, and died together with several Japanese soldiers, defending dignity and freedom with his life.

Zhou Zhifei was furious when he learned that Kondo Masao intended to appoint Gu Yizhong as the president of the Sino-Japanese Cultural Exchange Association. At this time, Captain Zhang hurriedly arrived and informed the news of Fugui's sacrifice. In order to demonstrate his authority in No. 90, Zhou Zhifei ordered the arrest of Haimo as a warning to Gu Yizhong. Sure enough, Gu Yizhong was extremely anxious after hearing the news and immediately looked for Zhou Zhifei. Zhou Zhifei took the opportunity to reveal Haimo's true identity in an attempt to blackmail Gu Yizhong.

Facing Zhou Zhifei's threat, Gu Yizhong showed no fear and bluntly pointed out Zhou Zhifei's sinister intentions of using Haimo. He further revealed that he had killed a sniper arranged by Zhou Zhifei in Liuyuan, which shocked Zhou Zhifei. Masao Kondo had doubts about Haimo's identity and asked Zhou Zhifei to provide evidence. Zhou Zhifei showed the salary slip from the Military Reunion Special Agent Station, but Gu Yizhong keenly pointed out that Haimo's name might be an afterthought, and admitted that Haimo was actually his fiancée, thus allaying Kondo Masao's suspicion and showing his wisdom at the same time. and courage.

After Huang Xinzhai passed away, Kondo Masao decided to release Hai Mo in order to balance the internal forces of No. 90, and at the same time hinted at checks and balances on Zhou Zhifei. Zhou Zhifei keenly noticed Kondo Masao's favoritism towards Gu Yizhong and took the opportunity to request that Captain Zhang be promoted to deputy webmaster. Unexpectedly, Kondo Masao had other plans. He presented Mr. Li's letter of appointment, officially appointed Gu Yizhong as the deputy station director of No. 90, and urged Gu Yizhong and Haimo to get married.

After leaving Masao Kondo, Zhou Zhifei sneered at Gu Yizhong, reminding him that the political considerations behind marriage were as complicated as his relationship with Ou Xinping in the past. Gu Yizhong knew this well, and in order to deal with the dilemma, he once again sought advice from Lao Huang. Lao Huang proposed an expedient solution and suggested that Gu Yizhong and Haimo have a fake marriage to solve the current urgent need. Although Gu Yizhong felt helpless, he also realized that this was the safest solution at present.

Gu Yizhong personally went to the prison to greet Hai Mo. As the two looked at each other, Hai Mo realized that Gu Yizhong had something to say. She took the initiative to speak, allowing Gu Yizhong to speak out and express her willingness to follow his arrangements. Unexpectedly, Gu Yizhong actually proposed to marry Haimo. Haimo knew that Gu Yi's heart was Xiao Ruotong, so when he revealed his intention to fake the marriage, Haimo felt bitter but still forced a smile to express his agreement.

At the same time, Xiao Ruotong knitted a scarf for Gu Yizhong with great expectations and prepared to give it to him. However, Sixth Brother's sudden announcement was like a bolt from the blue - Lieutenant General Gu Yi married Hai Mo and would no longer go to the base. Xiao Ruotong did not want to believe this cruel reality, and resolutely ignored Sixth Brother's dissuasion and went to Gu Yizhong's wedding alone, just to witness it all with his own eyes.
