A Lonely Hero’s Journey 孤舟 Episode 36

Just as Jin Jichang was preparing to make an unfavorable verdict against Gu Yizhong, Haimo, Luo Wuqiang and others accidentally broke into the court, bringing a turning point for Gu Yizhong. Luo Wuqiang, as an important representative of the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, stood up resolutely and testified for Gu Yizhong's innocence, revealing his contribution to the revolution. However, Zhou Zhifei was not to be outdone and quickly counterattacked, accusing Gu Yizhong of involving a more serious crime - killing military reunification agents and their companions.

Ou Xinping's brother Ou Maochun was distraught and accused Gu Yizhong of being responsible for his sister's death. He lost control of his emotions and even wanted to die with Gu Yizhong. Faced with this sudden change, the judge had to adjourn the trial, and Gu Yizhong was taken back to prison again. Zhou Zhifei appeared triumphantly in front of Gu Yizhong, threatening him with the cruel history of the prison, implying that he had no chance of survival.

Haimo stepped into the prison again, his heart filled with concern and worry for Gu Yizhong. She revealed to Gu Yizhong the underground party's plan to rob prison and rescue him, but Gu Yizhong firmly opposed it, knowing that this move would only make it more difficult to clear his traitor charges. Then, Gu Yizhong asked about the acquaintance experience between Haimo and Ou Xinping. Haimo talked in detail, revealing his sympathy for Ou Xinping's tragic experience, and at the same time revealing his incomplete understanding of Ou Xinping's family situation. , especially since I have never heard that she has a younger brother.

After hearing this, Gu Yizhong became more doubtful, and his intuition told him that Ou Maochun's identity was not simple. He immediately asked Haimo to inform Luo Wuqiang to conduct an in-depth investigation into Ou Maochun's identity. At the same time, the warm conversation between Captain Zhang and his daughter was broken by a sudden assassination. Fortunately, his daughter discovered it in time, but Captain Zhang was still unfortunately injured. The underground party acted quickly and finally revealed Ou Maochun's true face - he was actually a counterfeit carefully arranged by Zhou Zhifei to frame Gu Yizhong.

Inspired by the gcd, Ou Maochun discovered his conscience and stood up in court resolutely, exposing Zhou Zhifei's conspiracy in public. Faced with Zhou Zhifei's sophistry, Luo Wuqiang brought another key witness-Captain Zhang. Despite being seriously injured, Captain Zhang still insisted on appearing in court. He not only accused Zhou Zhifei of being a traitor, but also showed the interrogation report signed by Zhou Zhifei. The evidence was ironclad, making Zhou Zhifei's lies clear.

Judge Jin Jichang reviewed the evidence submitted by Captain Zhang and had a clearer understanding of Zhou Zhifei's crime. However, Zhou Zhifei still tried to use his status to make a last ditch effort, mentioning that he was the Suzhou commissioner promoted by Director Dai himself. But Jin Jichang was not moved by his words. Instead, he sneered and ordered Zhou Zhifei to be arrested.

After hearing the news, Yuqing rushed to the prison to visit Zhou Zhifei, but Zhou Zhifei seemed extremely calm and analyzed that the reason for his dismissal was the secret obstruction of his old superior Xu Enzeng. He told Yuqing to find Jiang Boxian and use Jiang Boxian's greedy nature to reverse the situation through bribery. However, whether all this will go as he wishes is still unknown.

Following Zhou Zhifei's instructions, Yuqing spent all his money and donated all his family wealth to Jiang Boxian in order to ask for his help. Jiang Boxian was greedy and not only accepted the heavy gifts, but also the jewelry on Yuqing's body. He just revealed a shocking news: Dai Li had died in a plane crash the day before yesterday. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Zhou Zhifei realize that his end had come.

In despair, Zhou Zhifei said his final farewell to Youfei. He earnestly warned his son that no matter what the future holds, he must stick to the bottom line and never do anything to disgrace the country. At the same time, Masao Kondo was waiting to be deported, but he was suddenly attacked by an unknown person and his throat was cut with a sharp weapon. Before he died, he learned that all this was actually arranged by Zhou Zhifei, and his heart was filled with shock and unwillingness.

Zhou Zhifei had a death wish and asked to meet Gu Yizhong, intending to use his own life as the final challenge to Gu Yizhong. However, Gu Yizhong did not give him the death he wanted as he wished. During the confrontation between the two, Gu Yizhong smiled slightly, and the profound meaning contained in that smile made Zhou Zhifei suddenly realize that the "lone boat" he was pursuing was none other than Gu Yizhong himself.

With Zhou Zhifei being shot, Gu Yizhong's great revenge was finally avenged. He buried his father in tears, feeling both grief and relief. After the funeral, Haiyan asked Gu Yizhong about his future plans with concern. Gu Yizhong decided to pick up his old business, restart the construction company, and devote himself to repairing the damaged buildings in Suzhou and leaving more historical memories for the city.

However, when he was busy, Gu Yizhong would always think of Haimo involuntarily. One day, while he was standing on the ladder repairing Gu Garden, his cousin Lu Zheng's complaints made him realize how much he missed Haimo. He put down his work and strolled to the theater. Listening to the familiar sound of Pingtan, the image of Hai Mo became clearer in his mind. But the reality told him that once some people miss it, it is difficult to look back.

After walking out of the theater, Gu Yi Center was full of expectations for contact with the New Fourth Army. At this time, a melodious Suzhou Pingtan sound sounded. It was very different from the melody in the theater, but it was extremely familiar. Following the sound, Gu Yizhong was pleasantly surprised to find Haimo slowly coming down from the boat. She whispered the secret code for the joint. Gu Yizhong was so excited that he held her hand tightly and blurted out "Comrade Haimo". Haimo quickly corrected her. Her real name was Lin Shujuan. The two reunited at this moment and continued their unfinished revolutionary mission tacitly.
