A Lonely Hero’s Journey 孤舟 Episode 4

Zhou Zhifei asked his crony Jin Hai to meet with the spring on his behalf to test its true purpose while ensuring his own safety. Jin Hai hoped that Quan Shui would not meet Zhou Zhifei because he was worried about his eldest brother's safety. After all, Quan Shui was Zhongtong's number one female killer. But Quan Shui insisted on meeting and said that he was saving Zhou Zhifei. After Quan Shui and Jin Haihe separated, Quan Shui discovered that someone was still following her, so she stabbed the other person unprepared, but it was not fatal. She deliberately spared the other person's life, just to let him go back and tell Zhou Zhifei. , I won’t be so polite next time. The people arranged by Jin Hai did not find out Quan Shui's current residence. Based on Zhou Zhifei's understanding of his former lover, he knew very well that Quan Shui would live in a place they did not expect.

In order to regain his innocence, Gu Yizhong resolutely returned to Suzhou. He found his cousin Lu Zheng, and with his help, he secretly purchased telescopes and other investigative tools, and began to follow Zhou Zhifei closely. However, the move did not go as smoothly as he had hoped.

Just when Gu Yizhong thought his plan was about to fail, fate gave him an unexpected turn of events. When he was easily captured by Zhou Zhifei and taken to Secret Service Station No. 90, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. The man was complaining dissatisfiedly that as a spy, he had to play the role of an actor. Gu Yi was secretly surprised, but he also understood that he had fallen into a more complicated situation.

Zhou Zhifei obviously knew all about the special relationship between Gu Yizhong and Gu Xixing. He took advantage of this and handed Gu Yizhong as a bargaining chip to Kondo Masao. Masao Kondo, a Japanese commander with a deep understanding of Chinese culture, had high hopes for Gu Yizhong, hoping that he could convince his father to serve as the governor of Wu County. However, Gu Yizhong stuck to his bottom line and refused the request without hesitation. Faced with Gu Yizhong's resolute attitude, Kondo Masao did not get angry. Instead, he cleverly performed a "catch and release Cao" drama, intending to further test Gu Yizhong's loyalty and wisdom.

Kondo Masao respectfully sent Gu Yizhong home and called reporters to publicize it. Gu's father was very angry. Since the fall of Suzhou, he had not gone out and deliberately kept a distance from the Japanese. He knew very well that the Japanese would have plans for him again, but the Gu family would not betray the country and the nation. Unexpectedly, Gu Yizhong would When he came back in a Japanese car, the other party treated him respectfully, and this scene was photographed by reporters. In order to protect Gu Yizhong, Gu's father had no choice but to lock him up at home.

The New Fourth Army learned of the intelligence and sent Zhou Zhenwu to lead a team to hoe the enemy. Xiao Ruotong took the initiative to challenge, and Wang Mingzhi arranged for her and Zhou Zhenwu to pretend to be husband and wife. After arriving in the Soviet Union, Zhou Zhenwu contacted the recruitment station He Shunjiang and planned to go on the mission with his nine newly recruited soldiers to operate covertly to ensure success.

Gu Yizhong originally planned to use the sea foam as an opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly, the spring water intervened, completely ruining his escape plan. Time passed, and a few days passed. Seeing that there was still no movement from Gu Xixing, Kondo Masao came up with a plan and decided to withdraw his spy power and instead use GCD as a chess piece, intending to kill people with a borrowed knife and let GCD and the Gu family fight each other.

Kondo Masao carefully arranged for Zhou Zhifei's son Youfei to go to Japan for further study. In fact, he intended to use Youfei as a hostage to contain Zhou Zhifei. Although Zhou Zhifei was reluctant in his heart, facing the reality that many children of prominent families in Suzhou were also on the list of studying abroad, he could only obey the arrangement. On the eve of Youfei's departure, Zhou Zhifei specially arranged to take a family portrait. At the same time, he even asked Youfei to recite the family tree with sincerity, intending to remind him not to forget his roots.
